Exhibit 10.1


PURCHASE AGREEMENT







THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of November 1, 2010, by and between Organic Alliance, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Seller”), and Parker Booth (“Purchaser”).







WHEREAS, Purchaser desires to purchase from Seller, and Seller desires to sell to Purchaser, 18,819,545 shares of Seller’s common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Shares”), for a purchase price of $376,390.90 (the “Purchase Price”); and







WHEREAS, Purchaser has provided a loan to Seller in the original principal amount of $605,185 (the “Debt”), as evidenced by that certain promissory note dated August 13, 2010 (the “Promissory Note”), which Promissory Note supersedes and replaces the Seller’s promissory note to Purchaser, dated December 10, 2009 (the “Original Note”); and







WHEREAS, the Promissory Note provides that Purchaser shall receive 2,668,747 shares of Seller’s common stock (the “Note Shares”).







NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:







1. Purchase and Sale of Shares; Waiver of Right to Note Shares.


 


(a) Seller hereby issues, sells, conveys, and transfers the Shares to Purchaser, and Purchaser hereby purchases the Shares from Seller.  As full payment of the Purchase Price, Purchaser hereby cancels that portion of the Debt equal to the Purchase Price.


 


(b) As an inducement for Seller to enter into this Agreement, Purchaser hereby waives and forever relinquishes his right to receive the Note Shares (for avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser’s right to receive shares of common stock pursuant to the Original Note was superseded and replaced by his right to receive the Note Shares pursuant to the Promissory Note).







2. Representations and Warranties of Seller.  Seller hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser as follows:







(a) Authority; Binding Obligation.  Seller has the corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to perform Seller’s obligations hereunder, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.  This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of Seller.







(b) Corporate Power.  The execution, delivery and performance by Seller of this Agreement and the consummation by Seller of the transaction contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Seller.






  





  











  






3. Representations and Warranties of Purchaser.  Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Seller as follows:







(a) Capacity; Binding Obligation.  Purchaser has the capacity to enter into this Agreement, to perform Purchaser’s obligations hereunder, and to consummate the transaction contemplated hereby.  This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of Purchaser.







(b) Restricted Securities.  Purchaser understands that (a) the sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) by reason of an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, (b) the Shares must be held indefinitely unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act or is exempt from such registration (and Seller has no present intention of registering any disposition of the Shares), (c) the certificates evidencing the Shares shall bear a legend to such effect, (d) Seller will make a notation on its transfer books to such effect, and (e) Seller may require a legal opinion of the Purchaser’s counsel with respect to unregistered transfers.







(c) Accredited Investor.  Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED PURSUANT TO THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE STATUTES. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS (i) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS SHALL HAVE BECOME EFFECTIVE WITH REGARD THERETO OR (ii) AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION EXISTS UNDER THE ACT (OR REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER) AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND SUCH EXEMPTION IS APPLICABLE THERETO.”







(e) Investment Purposes.  The Shares will be acquired for investment for Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the public resale or distribution thereof within the meaning of the federal or state securities laws, and Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same.  Purchaser further represents that he does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any shares of the Shares.

Purchaser acknowledges that: (i) he has received and reviewed Seller’s financial statements: (a) as of and for the year ended March 31, 2010, and (b) as of and for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, (ii) he has received or has had full access to all the information Purchaser considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed decision with respect to the purchase of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, and (iii) he has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from Seller regarding Seller’s financial performance and to obtain additional information (to the extent Seller possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify any information furnished to Purchaser or to which Purchaser had access.






  





  











  






(g) Investment Decision.  Purchaser acknowledges that no federal or state agency has made any findings or determination as to the fairness of the terms of this transaction for investment or any recommendations or endorsement of the Shares.  In making an investment decision, Purchaser has relied on his own examination of Seller and the terms of the transaction, including the merits and risks involved.
