THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT is made between a publicly-traded company
which will acquire the business of iCurie Lab Holdings, Limited (the "Company")
and the undersigned subscriber (the "Subscriber"). All terms not defined herein
shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Company's Confidential Private
Placement Memorandum dated May 2005, including any amendments or supplements
thereto (the "Memorandum").
WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide financing for itself by issuing
Series A Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $0.88 per share as well as
warrants exercisable for shares of the Company's common stock and has engaged
Indigo Securities LLC and Axiom Capital Management Inc. (the "Placement Agent")
as its exclusive placement agent in connection therewith; and
WHEREAS, the Subscriber desires to purchase the number of shares of Series
A Preferred Stock set forth on the signature page hereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants
hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:
I. SUBSCRIPTION FOR SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK; REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
BY THE SUBSCRIBER
1.1 Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the
Subscriber hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase the number of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock from the Company set forth on the signature page
hereof, and when this Subscription Agreement is accepted and executed by the
Company, the Company agrees to issue such Series A Preferred Stock to the
Subscriber at a purchase price equal to the product of (x) the number of shares
of Series A Preferred Stock subscribed for and (y) $0.88 per share. The
subscription price is payable by check made payable to the order of "Xxxxxxxx
Xxxxx & Deutsch LLP, as Escrow Agent for iCurie Lab Holdings, Limited" or by
wire transfer of immediately available funds delivered contemporaneously
herewith. Provided the Subscriber has satisfied all conditions set forth herein,
and the Company has accepted and executed this Subscription Agreement, the
Series A Preferred Stock purchased by the Subscriber will be delivered by the
Company promptly following the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined).
1.2 The Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock involves a high degree of risk and is suitable only for persons
of adequate financial means who have no need for liquidity in this investment in
that (i) he may not be able to liquidate his investment in the event of an
emergency; (ii) transferability is extremely limited; and (iii) in the event of
a disposition, he could sustain a complete loss of his entire investment.
1.3 The Subscriber acknowledges that he is (i) a qualified investor, as
described herein, to qualify for the purchase of the Series A Preferred Stock;
(ii) competent to understand and does understand the nature of the investment;
and (iii) able to bear the economic risk of this investment.
1.4 The Subscriber represents that he is an "accredited investor," as such
term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), as further specified in the Investor
Questionnaire completed by the Subscriber.
1.5 The Subscriber acknowledges that he has significant prior investment
experience, including investment in non-listed and non-registered securities.
The Subscriber has a sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of its entire
investment in the Company in the event such a loss should occur. The
1
Subscriber's overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable
is not excessive in view of the Subscriber's net worth and financial
circumstances and the purchase of the Series A Preferred Stock will not cause
such commitment to become excessive. The Subscriber recognizes the highly
speculative nature of this investment.
1.6 The Subscriber: (i) if a natural person, represents that the
Subscriber has reached the age of 21 and has full power and authority to execute
and deliver this Subscription Agreement and all other related agreements or
certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof; (ii) if a
corporation, partnership, or limited liability company or partnership, or
association, joint stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or other
entity, represents that such entity was not formed for the specific purpose of
acquiring the Series A Preferred Stock, such entity is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization,
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby is authorized by, and
will not result in a violation of state law or its charter or other
organizational documents, such entity has full power and authority to execute
and deliver this Subscription Agreement and all other related agreements or
certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof and to purchase
and hold the securities constituting the Series A Preferred Stock, the execution
and delivery of this Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized by all
necessary action, this Subscription Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered on behalf of such entity and is a legal, valid and binding obligation
of such entity; or (iii) if executing this Subscription Agreement in a
representative or fiduciary capacity, represents that it has full power and
authority to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement in such capacity
and on behalf of the subscribing individual, xxxx, partnership, trust, estate,
corporation, or limited liability company or partnership, or other entity for
whom the Subscriber is executing this Subscription Agreement, and such
individual, partnership, xxxx, trust, estate, corporation, or limited liability
company or partnership, or other entity has full right and power to perform
pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and make an investment in the Company,
and represents that this Subscription Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and
binding obligation of such entity. The execution and delivery of this
Subscription Agreement will not violate or be in conflict with any order,
judgment, injunction, agreement or controlling document to which the Subscriber
is a party or by which it is bound.
1.7 The Subscriber hereby represents that the Subscriber and the
Subscriber's attorney, accountant, purchaser representative and/or tax advisor,
if any (collectively, "Advisors") have been furnished by the Company or the
Placement Agent during the course of this transaction with the Memorandum, which
has been read by the Subscriber and its Advisors, and with all information
regarding the Company which the Subscriber and its Advisors have requested or
desired to know; and that the Subscriber and his Advisors have been afforded the
opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized
officers or other representatives of the Company and the Placement Agent
concerning the terms and conditions of the offering, prior to the execution of
this Subscription Agreement and all such questions have been answered to the
full satisfaction of the Subscriber and its Advisors, if any. The Subscriber
agrees and acknowledges that the Memorandum contains proprietary and
confidential information relating to the Company, and agrees to keep the
Memorandum and the information contained therein confidential, although
Subscriber may provide such information to its Advisors, until such time as the
confidential information contained therein is made public in the Company's
public filings.
1.8 The Subscriber hereby acknowledges that the offering of the shares of
Series A Preferred Stock has not been filed with or reviewed by the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") because of the Company's representations
that this is intended to be a nonpublic offering pursuant to Section 4(2) and
Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Subscriber
represents that the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are being purchased for
his own account, for investment and not for distribution or resale to others.
The Subscriber agrees that he will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of
any of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock unless they are registered under
the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available.
2
1.9 The Subscriber understands that the shares of Series A Preferred Stock
have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a claimed
exemption under the provisions of the Securities Act which depends, in part,
upon his investment intention. The Subscriber realizes that, in the view of the
SEC, a purchase now with an intent to resell would represent a purchase with an
intent inconsistent with his representation to the Company, and the SEC might
regard such a sale, transfer or disposition as a deferred sale to which the
exemption is not available.
1.10 The Subscriber consents that the Company may, if it desires, permit
the transfer of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock by the Subscriber out of
his name only when his request for transfer is accompanied by an opinion of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that the proposed sale, transfer
or disposition does not result in a violation of the Securities Act or any
applicable state "blue sky" laws (collectively, "Securities Laws").
1.11 The Subscriber consents to the placement of a legend on the
certificates evidencing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock stating that they
have not been registered under the Securities Act and setting forth or referring
to the restrictions on the sale, transfer or disposition thereof. The Subscriber
is aware that the Company will make a notation in its appropriate records with
respect to the restrictions on the sale, transfer or disposition of the shares
of Series A Preferred Stock.
1.12 The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Company is relying on
the Subscriber's representations contained in this Agreement and the related
subscription documents in determining whether to accept this subscription. The
Subscriber hereby agrees that the Company reserves the unrestricted right to
reject or limit any subscription, to close the offer at any time, and/or to
request additional information from the Subscriber.
1.13 The Subscriber represents and warrants that all representations made
by the Subscriber hereunder are true and correct in all material respects as of
the date of execution hereof, and the Subscriber covenants that until the
closing on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock subscribed for he shall inform
the Company and the Placement Agent immediately of any changes in any of the
representations provided by the Subscriber hereunder.
1.14 The Subscriber is unaware of, is in no way relying on, and did not
become aware of the offering of the Series A Preferred Stock through or as a
result of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising including,
without limitation, any article, notice, advertisement or other communication
published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over
television, radio or over the Internet, in connection with the offering and sale
of the Series A Preferred Stock and is not subscribing for Series A Preferred
Stock and did not become aware of the offering of the Series A Preferred Stock
through or as a result of any seminar or meeting to which the Subscriber was
invited by, or any solicitation of a subscription by, a person not previously
known to the Subscriber in connection with investments in securities generally.
1.15 The Subscriber has taken no action which would give rise to any claim
by any person for brokerage commissions, finders' fees or the like relating to
this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (other than
commissions to be paid by the Company to the Placement Agent or as otherwise
described in the Memorandum).
1.16 The Subscriber has adequate means of providing for such Subscriber's
current financial needs and foreseeable contingencies and has no need for
liquidity of the investment in the Series A Preferred Stock for an indefinite
period of time.
1.17 The Subscriber is aware that an investment in the Series A Preferred
Stock involves a number of very significant risks and has carefully read and
considered the matters set forth in the Memorandum and in particular the matters
under the caption "Risk Factors" therein.
3
1.18 The Subscriber acknowledges that any estimates or forward-looking
statements or financial targets included in the Memorandum were prepared by the
Company in good faith, but that the attainment of any such targets, estimates or
forward-looking statements cannot be guaranteed by the Company and should not be
relied upon.
1.19 No oral or written representations have been made, or oral or written
information furnished, to the Subscriber or its Advisors, if any, in connection
with the offering of the Series A Preferred Stock which are in any way
inconsistent with the information contained in the Memorandum.
1.20 Within five days after receipt of a request from the Company or the
Placement Agent, the Subscriber shall provide such information and deliver such
documents as may reasonably be necessary to comply with any and all laws and
ordinances to which the Company or the Placement Agent is subject.
1.21 The Subscriber's substantive relationship with the Placement Agent or
subagent through which the Subscriber is subscribing for Series A Preferred
Stock predates the Placement Agent's or such subagent's contact with the
Subscriber regarding an investment in the Series A Preferred Stock.
1.22 (For ERISA plans only) The fiduciary of the ERISA plan (the "Plan")
represents that such fiduciary has been informed of and understands the
Company's investment objectives, policies and strategies, and that the decision
to invest "plan assets" (as such term is defined in ERISA) in the Company is
consistent with the provisions of ERISA that require diversification of plan
assets and impose other fiduciary responsibilities. The Subscriber or Plan
fiduciary (a) is responsible for the decision to invest in the Company; (b) is
independent of the Company and any of its affiliates; (c) is qualified to make
such investment decision; and (d) in making such decision, the Subscriber or
Plan fiduciary has not relied primarily on any advice or recommendation of the
Company or any of its affiliates.
1.23 The Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company that it is not
a Non-U.S. Person, or, if the Subscriber is a Non-U.S. Person, then the
Subscriber shall have so notified the Company of such fact in Subscriber's
investor questionnaire submitted to the Company prior to the Closing Date. A
"Non-U.S. Person" means any of the following: (i) a citizen of a country other
than the United States, (ii) an entity organized under the laws of a
jurisdiction other than those of the United States or any state, territory or
possession of the United States, (iii) a government other than the government of
the United States or of any state, territory or possession of the United States,
or (iv) a representative of, or entity controlled by, any person or entity
referred to in any of the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii).
1.24 The Subscriber acknowledges that due to anti-terrorism and anti-money
laundering regulations, the Company, and/or any other manager, officer, employee
or agent acting on behalf of the Company may require further documentation
verifying the Subscriber's identity and the source of funds used to purchase an
the Series A Preferred Stock subscribed for hereby before this Subscription
Agreement can be processed or accepted. To comply with applicable U.S.
legislation and regulations, including but not limited to the International
Anti-Money Laundering and Financial Anti-Terrorism Abatement Act of 2001 (Title
III of the USA PATRIOT Act), the Subscriber agrees that all payments by the
Subscriber to the Company and all distributions to the Subscriber from the
Company will only be made in the Subscriber's name and to and from a bank
account of a bank based or incorporated in or formed under the laws of the
United States or a bank that is not a "foreign shell bank" within the meaning of
the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.), as amended, and the
regulations promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, as
such regulations may be amended from time to time. The Subscriber further agrees
to provide the Company with necessary information in connection with the
Company's compliance procedures with respect to anti-terrorism and anti-money
laundering regulations prior to the Closing Date. Such information may include,
but is not limited to, the name, address, telephone number, date of birth, and
Social Security or taxpayer identification number of any such individual person,
or of the beneficial owners of any entity, if Subscriber is an entity. Identity
may be verified using a current valid passport or other such current valid
government-issued identification
4
(e.g., a driver's license). In addition, the Subscriber certifies that, to the
Subscriber's knowledge, neither the Subscriber nor any person directly or
indirectly controlling or owning any interest in the Subscriber is identified as
a specially designated national or blocked person, or as affiliated with any
such person, entity or organization on any list maintained by governmental
authorities relating to anti-terrorism or anti-money laundering, including but
not limited to lists maintained by the United States Treasury Department's
Office of Foreign Asset Control.
1.25 The Subscriber understands that the information contained herein may
be disclosed to the United States Government by the Company as may be required
by applicable laws.
1.26 The Subscriber has never filed for or been involved as a debtor in
bankruptcy proceedings and there are no suits pending or judgments outstanding
against it which, in one case or in the aggregate, could impair its ability to
remain the direct holder of the Series A Preferred Stock.
