REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF BIO-TECH. Bio-Tech hereby represents and warrants to and covenants with Medbox as follows:
3.1 Validity of Transactions. This Agreement, and each document executed and delivered by Bio-Tech in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Bio-Tech and is each the valid and legally binding obligation of Bio-Tech, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency reorganization and moratorium laws and other laws affecting enforcement of creditor’s rights generally and by general principles of equity.
3.2 Valid Issuance of Bio-Tech Shares. The Bio-Tech Shares that are being issued to Medbox in exchange for payment of the Cash Purchase Price and issuance of the Medbox Shares to Bio-Tech, when issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, free of restrictions on transfer, other than restrictions on transfer under this Agreement, the Shareholders’ Agreement and under applicable Federal and state securities laws, and will be free of all other liens, adverse claims and encumbrances of any type and nature whatsoever.
3.3 No Violation. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will not violate any law or any order of any court or government agency applicable to Bio-Tech, as the case may be, or the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of Bio-Tech, and will not result in any breach of or default under, or, except as expressly provided herein, result in the creation of any encumbrance upon any of the assets of Bio-Tech pursuant to the terms of any agreement or instrument by which Bio-Tech or any of its assets may be bound. No approval of or filing with any governmental authority is required for Bio-Tech to enter into, execute or perform this Agreement, except for applicable post-closing filings under Federal and applicable state securities authorities.
3.4 Securities Law Compliance. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Medbox set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement, the offer, sale and delivery of the Bio-Tech Shares will constitute an exempt transaction under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and registration of the Bio-Tech Shares under the Securities Act is not required. Bio-Tech shall make such post-closing filings as may be necessary to comply with applicable Federal and state securities laws, which filings will be made in a timely manner.
3.5 Qualifications, Legal and Investment. All authorizations, approvals, or permits, if any, of any governmental authority or regulatory body of the United States including Federal and applicable state securities filings that are required in connection with the issuance of the Bio-Tech Shares pursuant to this Agreement have been or will be, on a timely basis, duly obtained and are effective. No stop order or other order enjoining the sale of Bio-Tech Shares have been issued and no proceedings for such purpose are pending or, to the knowledge of Bio-Tech, threatened by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), or any applicable state securities authorities. The sale of the Bio-Tech Shares is legally permitted by all laws and regulations to which Bio-Tech is subject.
3.6 Receipt of Restricted Securities. Bio-Tech has been advised that the Medbox Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws and that the Medbox Shares are being offered and sold pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and applicable state securities law exemptions, and that Medbox’s reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and such applicable state securities law exemptions is predicated in part on Bio-Tech’s representations and warranties as contained in this Agreement.
3.6.1 Bio-Tech acknowledges that the Medbox Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws, are being offered and sold pursuant to applicable exemptions from such registration for nonpublic offerings, and will be “restricted securities” as defined by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. The Medbox Shares may not be resold in the absence of an effective registration thereof under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws unless, in the opinion of Bio-Tech’s counsel (which opinion shall be reasonably satisfied to Medbox), an applicable exemption from registration thereunder is available.
3.6.2 Bio-Tech is acquiring the Medbox Shares for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, a distribution, as that term is used in Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, in a manner which would require registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
3.6.3 Bio-Tech understands and acknowledges that the Medbox Shares will bear the following legend:
THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED FOR VALUE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND/OR THE SECURITIES ACT OF ANY STATE HAVING JURISDICTION OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SUCH ACT OR ACTS.
3.6.4 Bio-Tech acknowledges that the Medbox Shares are not liquid and are transferable only under limited conditions. Bio-Tech acknowledges that such securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Bio-Tech is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, which permits resale of securities purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and that Rule 144 is not now available and, in the future, may not become available for resale of the Medbox Shares.
3.6.5 Bio-Tech Sophistication and Ability to Bear Risk of Loss. Bio-Tech acknowledges that it is able to protect its interests in connection with the acquisition of the Medbox Shares and can bear the economic risk of investment in such securities without producing a Material Adverse Effect (as hereafter defined) on Bio-Tech. Bio-Tech otherwise has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks associated with an investment in the Medbox Shares.
3.6.6 Purchases by Groups. Bio-Tech acknowledges that it is not acquiring the Medbox Shares as part of a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
3.7 Appointment to Board of Directors. As a material inducement to Medbox to enter into this Agreement, Bio-Tech shall reserve one seat on its board of directors to be held by a designee of Medbox reasonably satisfactory to Bio-Tech. Initially, such nominee shall be Xx. Xxxxx Xxxxxxx. In the event that Xx. Xxxxxxx is unable to fill the position, such position shall be held by a then current director or officer of Medbox. Such designation right shall expire at such time as Medbox holds less than ten percent (10%) of Bio-Tech’s issued and outstanding common stock.
3.8 Good Standing. Bio-Tech is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has all requisite corporate power and corporate authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted. Bio-Tech is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of its properties or assets or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, has not had a Material Adverse Effect on Bio-Tech. As used in this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any change, event, development, or effect that is materially adverse to the business, liabilities, properties, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or working capital of a Party, or the ability of a Party to consummate on a timely basis the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that none of the following shall be deemed to constitute, and none of the following shall be taken into account in determining whether there has been, a Material Adverse Effect: (a) any adverse change, event, development, or effect arising from or relating to the taking of any action contemplated by this Agreement, and (b) any adverse change in or effect on the business of a Party.
3.9 Bio-Tech Lock-Up and Resale Leak-Out.
3.9.1 Lock-Up. During the twenty-four (24) month period from the execution of this Agreement, Bio-Tech shall not (except as permitted below), without the prior written consent of Medbox, directly or indirectly, offer, issue, sell, contract to sell, grant any option for the sale of, pledge, or otherwise dispose of or transfer any the Medbox Shares (the “Bio-Tech Lock-Up Period”).
3.9.2 Resale Leak-Out. Following the expiration of the Bio-Tech Lock-Up, Bio-Tech may dispose of the Medbox Shares at a maximum rate per quarter equal to the lesser of (a) 10,000 Medbox Shares or (b) 0.5% of Medbox’s issued and outstanding common stock. After thirty-six (36) months from the execution of this Agreement, Bio-Tech may dispose of the Medbox Shares at a maximum rate per month equal to the lesser of (x) 25,000 Medbox Shares or (y) 0.5% of Medbox’s issued and outstanding common stock. To ensure compliance with this Section 3.9.2, Bio-Tech agrees to provide Medbox with the name of the broker-dealer where the Medbox Shares are deposited and further agrees to provide Medbox with duplicate copies of all sell transactions involving the Medbox Shares.
3.10 Dilution. Bio-Tech hereby acknowledges and agrees that subsequent to consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Bio-Tech Shares held by Medbox shall be subject to dilution only pari passu with shares of Bio-Tech common stock held by all other shareholders of Bio-Tech.
3.11 Accounting Treatment. Bio-Tech hereby agrees and acknowledges that Medbox shall be entitled to treat its investment in the Bio-Tech Shares under the equity method of accounting in accordance with GAAP to the extent permitted thereunder. The equity method in accounting is the process of treating equity investments, usually 20% - 50%, in associate companies. The investor’s proportional share of the associate company’s net income increases the investment (and a net loss decreases the investment) and proportional payment of dividends decreases it. In the investor’s income statement, the proportional share of the investee’s net income or net loss is reported as a single line item.
3.12 Transfer of Patents. U.S. Patent numbers 8,086,470 and 8,335,697 (the “Patents”) have been duly assigned and registered in the name of Bio-Tech. Bio-Tech shall not assign or transfer the Patents to any person or entity other than in connection with (a) a bona fide sale of the Company (whether by merger, stock sale, asset sale or otherwise); (b) a bona fide sale of the Patents for fair value to a third party in an arm’s length transaction; (c) assignment to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; or (d) a reverse merger of the Company into a publicly traded entity.
3.13 Use of Funds. Attached as Exhibit C hereto is a use of funds of the Cash Purchase Price. Bio-Tech intends to use the Cash Purchase Price substantially for the purposes and in the amounts set forth therein and as represented in the business plan given to Medbox during the due diligence phase of negotiations.
