Representations and
Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to
the Subscriber the following:
a. Organization and Qualification
. The Company is a corporation duly
organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of
Nevada. The Company has all requisite power and authority to carry
on its business as currently conducted, other than such failures
that would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on the Company’s business, properties or financial
condition (a “ Material Adverse Effect
”). The Company is duly qualified to transact business in
each jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
b. Authorization . As of the Closing, all action on the part of
the Company, its board of directors, officers and existing
stockholders necessary for the authorization, execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the performance of all obligations
of the Company hereunder and thereunder shall have been taken, and
this Agreement, assuming due execution by the parties hereto and
thereto, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of
the Company, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms,
subject to: (i) judicial principles limiting the availability of
specific performance, injunctive relief, and other equitable
remedies and (ii) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect
generally relating to or affecting creditors’
rights.
c. Valid Issuance of the Common Stock
. The shares of Common Stock, when
issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement for the consideration expressed herein shall be duly and
validly issued and will be free of restrictions on transfer
directly or indirectly created by the Company other than
restrictions on transfer under this Agreement and under applicable
federal and state securities laws.
d. Governmental Consents . No consent, approval, order or authorization
of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or
filing with, any federal, state or local governmental authority on
the part of the Company is required in connection with the offer,
sale or issuance of the Shares, except for the following: (i) the
filing of such notices as may be required under the Securities Act
and (ii) the compliance with any applicable state securities laws,
which compliance will have occurred within the appropriate time
periods therefor.
e. Litigation . There are no actions, suits, proceedings or
investigations pending or, to the best of the Company’s
knowledge, threatened before any court, administrative agency or
other governmental body against the Company which question the
validity of this Agreement, or the right of the Company to enter
into either of them, or to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, or which would reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. The Company is not a party or subject to,
and none of its assets is bound by, the provisions of any order,
writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government
agency or instrumentality which would reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.
f. Compliance with Other Instruments
. The Company is not in violation or
default of any provision of its Articles of Incorporation, each as
in effect immediately prior to the Closing, except for such
failures as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. The Company is not in violation or default of any
provision of any material instrument, mortgage, deed of trust,
loan, contract, commitment, judgment, decree, order or obligation
to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties or
assets are bound which would reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. To the best of its knowledge, the Company
is not in violation or default of any provision of any federal,
state or local statute, rule or governmental regulation which would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The
execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with this
Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Shares, will not result
in any such violation, be in conflict with or constitute, with or
without the passage of time or giving of notice, a default under
any such provision, require any consent or waiver under any such
provision (other than any consents or waivers that have been
obtained), or result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien,
encumbrance or charge upon any of the properties or assets of the
Company pursuant to any such provision.
g. Certain Registration Matters
. Assuming the accuracy of the
Subscriber’s representations and warranties set forth in this
Agreement and the Transaction Documents, and the representations
and warranties made by all other purchasers of Shares in the
Offering, no registration under the Securities Act is required for
the offer and sale of the Shares by the Company to the Subscriber
hereunder.
h. No General Solicitation . Neither the Company nor any person acting on
behalf of the Company has offered or sold any of the Shares by any
form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the
meaning of Regulation D).
4.
Representations and Warranties of
the Subscriber. The Subscriber represents and warrants to the
Company the following:
a. The Subscriber, its advisers, if any, and
designated representatives, if any, have the knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters necessary to evaluate
the merits and risks of its prospective investment in the Company,
and have carefully reviewed and understand the risks of, and other
considerations relating to, the purchase of Shares and the tax
consequences of the investment, and have the ability to bear the
economic risks of the investment.
b. The Subscriber is acquiring the Shares for
investment for its own account and not with the view to, or for
resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. The Subscriber
understands and acknowledges that the Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws,
by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions
of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, which
depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the
investment intent as expressed herein. The Subscriber further
represents that it does not have any contract, undertaking,
agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant
participation to any third person with respect to any of the
Shares. The Subscriber understands and acknowledges that the
offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement will not be
registered under the Securities Act nor under the state securities
laws on the ground that the sale provided for in this Agreement and
the issuance of securities hereunder is exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable
state securities laws.
c. The Subscriber understands that no public
market now exists, and there never will be a public market for, the
Shares, that an active public market for the Company’s Common
Stock does not now exist and that there may never be an active
public market for the shares of Common Stock sold in the
Offering.
d. The Subscriber, its advisers, if any, and
designated representatives, if any, have received and reviewed
information about the Company and have had an opportunity to
discuss the Company’s business, management and financial
affairs with its management. The Subscriber understands that such
discussions, as well as any written information provided by the
Company, were intended to describe the aspects of the
Company’s business and prospects which the Company believes
to be material, but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive
description, and except as expressly set forth in this Agreement,
the Company makes no representation or warranty with respect to the
completeness of such information and makes no representation or
warranty of any kind with respect to any information provided by
any entity other than the Company. Some of such information
includes projections as to the future performance of the Company,
which projections may not be realized, are based on assumptions
which may not be correct and are subject to numerous factors beyond
the Company’s control.
e. As of the Closing, all action on the part of
Subscriber, and its officers, directors and partners, if
applicable, necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery
of this Agreement and the performance of all obligations of the
Subscriber hereunder and thereunder shall have been taken, and this
Agreement, assuming due execution by the parties hereto and
thereto, constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the
Subscriber, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms,
subject to: (i) judicial principles limiting the availability of
specific performance, injunctive relief, and other equitable
remedies and (ii) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect
generally relating to or affecting creditors’
rights.
f. The Subscriber either (i) is an
“accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of
Regulation D as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act or (ii) is not a “U.S.
Person” as defined in Regulation S as promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act, and,
in each case, shall submit to the Company such further assurances
of such status as may be reasonably requested by the
Company.
g. The Subscriber, if a non-U.S. Person, agrees
that it is acquiring the Shares in an offshore transaction pursuant
to Regulation S and hereby represents to the Company as
follows:
(i) The Subscriber is outside the United States
when receiving and executing this Subscription
Agreement;
(ii) The Subscriber has not acquired the Shares as a
result of, and will not itself engage in, any “directed
selling efforts” (as defined in Regulation S) in the United
States in respect of the Shares which would include any activities
undertaken for the purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected
to have the effect of, conditioning the market in the United States
for the resale of the Shares; provided, however, that the
Subscriber may sell or otherwise dispose of the Shares pursuant to
registration of the Shares under the Securities Act and any
applicable state and provincial securities laws or under an
exemption from such registration requirements and as otherwise
provided herein;
(iii) The Subscriber understands and agrees that
offers and sales of any of the Shares prior to the expiration of a
period of one year after the date of transfer of the Shares under
this Subscription Agreement (the “ Distribution Compliance
Period ”), shall only be made in compliance with the safe
harbor provisions set forth in Regulation S, pursuant to the
registration provisions of the Securities Act or an exemption
therefrom, and that all offers and sales after the Distribution
Compliance Period shall be made only in compliance with the
registration provisions of the Securities Act or an exemption
therefrom, and in each case only in accordance with all applicable
securities laws;
(iv) The Subscriber understands and agrees not to
engage in any hedging transactions involving the Shares prior to
the end of the Distribution Compliance Period unless such
transactions are in compliance with the Securities Act;
and
(v) The Subscriber hereby represents that it has
satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its
jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the
Shares or any use of this Subscription Agreement, including: (a)
the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of
the Shares; (b) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to
such purchase; (c) any governmental or other consents that may need
to be obtained; and (d) the income tax and other tax consequences,
if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption,
sale or transfer of the Shares. Such Subscriber’s
subscription and payment for, and its continued beneficial
ownership of the Shares, will not violate any applicable securities
or other laws of the Subscriber’s jurisdiction.
h. The Subscriber or its duly authorized
representative realizes that because of the inherently speculative
nature of investments of the kind contemplated by the Company, the
Company’s investment results may be expected to fluctuate
from month to month
