ARTICLE I

 

  REPRESENTATIONS, COVENANTS AND WARRANTIES OF

THE BUYER

 

As an inducement to and to obtain the reliance of the Company and the Company Principal Shareholders, except as set forth on the Buyer Schedules (as hereinafter defined, which shall contain any exceptions or qualifications to the representations and warranties are set forth below), the Buyer represents and warrants as follows:

 

Section 1.01 Organization; Qualification; No Conflicts; Approval; and Binding Agreement. The Buyer is a privately-held company in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized. The Buyer has the administrative and organizational power and is duly authorized, qualified, under all applicable laws, regulations, ordinances, and orders of public authorities to own all of its properties and assets and to carry on its business in all material respects as it is now being conducted, including qualifications to do business as a foreign corporation in the states or countries in which the character and location of the assets owned by it or the nature of the business transacted by it requires qualification. The execution and delivery of this Agreement does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, violate any provision of the Buyer’s Articles of Incorporation (or similar organizational documents or otherwise) or Bylaws (or similar organizational operating documents or otherwise). the Buyer has taken and shall take all actions required by all applicable law, its Articles of Incorporation (or similar organizational documents or otherwise), or otherwise to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement and to consummate the transactions herein contemplated; and this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Buyer enforceable against the Buyer in accordance with its terms.

 

Section 1.02 Investment and other Representations. The Buyer further represents and warrants to the Company and the Principal Company Shareholders as follows:

 

(a) Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Buyer is acquiring the Purchased Shares for investment for its own account and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and the Buyer has no present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the Purchased Shares, except in compliance with applicable securities Laws.

 

(b) Restricted Securities. The Buyer understands that the Purchased Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), inasmuch as this Agreement contemplates that, if acquired by the Buyer pursuant hereto, the Purchased Shares would be acquired in a transaction not involving a public offering. The issuance of the Purchased Shares hereunder is being effected in reliance upon an exemption from registration afforded under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and Rule 506(b) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and Regulation S of the SEC, and the Buyer is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in SEC Rule 501 and is not a “U.S. Person” as that term is defined in Regulation S. The Buyer further acknowledges that if the Purchased Shares are issued to such the Buyer in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, such Purchased Shares may not be resold without registration under the Securities Act or the existence of an exemption therefrom. The Buyer represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby, and specifically those in subparagraph (i) of Rule 144 related to the resale of securities of “shell companies,” and that the Company is presently a “shell company” as defined therein and in SEC Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

 

2

 

(c) Acknowledgment of Non-Registration. The Buyer understands and agrees that the Purchased Shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities Laws of any state of the U.S.

 

(d) Status. By its execution of this Agreement, the Buyer represents and warrants that it is an “accredited investor” and a non-“U.S. Person,” and understands that the Purchased Shares are being offered and sold to the Buyer in reliance upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Buyer set forth in this Agreement, in order that the Company (and the Company Principal Shareholders) may determine the applicability and availability of the exemptions from registration of the Purchased Shares under the Securities Act on which the Company (and the Company Principal Shareholders) is relying.

 

(e) Miscellaneous Representations and Warranties. The Buyer: (1) consents to the placement of a legend on any certificate or other document evidencing the Purchased Shares substantially in the form set forth below; (ii) has sufficient knowledge and experience in finance, securities, investments and other business matters to be able to protect the Buyer’s interests in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) has consulted, to the extent that it has deemed necessary, with its tax, legal, accounting and financial advisors concerning its investment in the Purchased Shares and can afford to bear such risks for an indefinite period of time, including, without limitation, the risk of losing its entire investment in the Purchased Shares; (iv) has had access to the SEC reports and registration statements of the Company in the SEC Edgar archives (the “SEC Reports”); (v) has been furnished during the course of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with all other public information regarding the Company that the Buyer has requested and all such public information is sufficient for the Buyer to evaluate the risks of investing in the Purchased Shares; (vi) has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers concerning the Company and its directors or officers and the terms and conditions of the issuance of the Purchased Shares; (vii) is not relying on any representations and warranties concerning the Company (or the Company Principal Shareholders) made by the Company or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, other than those contained in this Agreement or the SEC Reports; (viii) will not sell or otherwise transfer the Purchased Shares, unless either (A) the transfer of such securities is registered under the Securities Act or (B) an exemption from registration of such securities is available; (ix) understands and acknowledges that the Company (and the Company Principal Shareholders) is under no obligation to register the Purchased Shares for sale under the Securities Act or otherwise; (x) understands and acknowledges that the Purchased Shares have not been recommended by any federal or state securities commission or regulatory authority, that the foregoing authorities have not confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy of any information concerning the Company (or the Company Principal Shareholders) that has been supplied to the Buyer and that any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense; (xi) acknowledges that the representations, warranties and agreements made by the Buyer herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the purchase of the Purchased Shares; (xii) will not transfer any of such Purchased Shares absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and applicable state securities law covering the disposition the Purchased Shares without first providing the Company with an opinion of counsel (which counsel and opinion are reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to the effect that such transfer will be exempt from the registration and the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and the registration or qualification requirements of any applicable U.S. state securities laws or as otherwise may be applicable; and (xiii) the stock certificate to represent to Purchased Shares shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially the form of the legend required in Section 3.03 below.

Section 1.03 Lack of Omissions and Misstatements. No representation or warranty of the Buyer contained in this Agreement or any other document related thereto and no statement or disclosure made by or on behalf of the Buyer to the Company or the Company Principal Shareholders pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading.

The warrant will be issuable after July 1, 2014. The exercise price of the warrant will be $0.20 per share and shall have a “cashless exercise” feature.
