OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY








The following is a selective summary of certain information contained in this Memorandum and is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information appearing elsewhere in this Memorandum and the exhibits attached hereto. In this Memorandum, the terms “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Spare Backup Inc., Inc. The Company files periodic and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These filings are incorporated into this Memorandum by this reference and should be carefully reviewed in conjunction with this Memorandum.







Overview







We were incorporated in Delaware on December 27, 1999 under the name First Philadelphia Capital Corp. to serve as a vehicle to effect a merger, exchange of common stock, asset acquisition or other business combination with domestic or foreign private business. On October 30, 2000, we completed a business combination with Conservation Anglers Manufacturing, Inc., a real estate holding and development company that was originally organized in Florida on February 7, 2000. The combination was a stock-for-stock merger that was accounted for as a "pooling-of-interests." In connection with the merger, we issued 235,000 shares of our Common Stock in exchange for all the outstanding stock of Conservation Anglers Manufacturing, Inc. In January 2001 we changed our name to Newport International Group Inc.  In June of 2006 we changed our name to Spare Backup Inc., to better reflect and describe our then current strategic direction.







Operational Focus







We are a developer and marketer of a line of software products specifically designed for the small business, home business users and consumers. Our products are designed and developed so that technical competence is not necessary to use or manage the software. Our Spare line of software products includes our Spare Backup software and our Spare Switch file transfer software.







Our flagship product is Spare Backup, a fully automated backup solution designed and developed especially for the small office or home environment. Once installed, our product automatically and efficiently backs up all selected data on the laptop or desktop computer. As a result, we believe consumers and small companies can ensure that all files protected by our service will be available in the event they experience data loss. All files that have been backed up are immediately available for retrieval. We launched Spare Backup product version 1.0 in March 2005 and are currently offering version 5.0 of the product to all new customers.  Our Spare Switch software enables users to complete the transfer of selected files from one PC to another via a high speed Internet connection. Our software has unique characteristics which enable us to leverage a scalable infrastructure and embedded support elements which we believe provides us with a competitive advantage over other service providers whose products require large investments in Hardware, as well as professional installation, training and support.

An overview of customer benefits includes:









Ease-of-use - Spare Backup provides fast, easy and fully automated data protection. Users benefit from automated data file selection, which distinguishes user data files from operating system and application files. As a result, users do not have to remember where all of their data files are stored. Spare Backup allows users to quickly and easily retrieve either a single file or multiple past versions of a file, not just the most recently backed-up version.







Impenetrable Security and Protection of Corporate Data - Spare Backup ensures that all data is encrypted with advanced 256-bit encryption on the user's machine using a user provided "key" or password. The encryption we use for ensuring privacy is the 256 Rijndael AES, a block cypher adopted as an encryption standard by the U.S. Government. The data is protected in transit and communication via Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), a cryptographic protocol that provides secure communications over the public Internet.







SSL Support - SSL based protocol enhancements to address security parameters during: registration, upgrade, backup and retrieve. The data is encrypted a second time using SSL, or secure sockets layer, while it is being transmitted and a third time before it is stored on the RAID, or redundant array of independent disc, servers using a strong private key.







Spare Backup software comes with the both a monthly and annual service option and enables users to also back up to local storage devices with or without using the online service.







Our service offers vary depending on partnerships, in some cases, we offer new users a free 14-day trial, and other’s could be an allocation of space of 1 gigabyte. Spare Backup services cost $6.99 per month for up to 50 gigabytes of data storage bought directly from the Company, along with annual plans that are available.







Spare Switch® enables users to complete the transfer of personal files from an old personal computer (PC) to a new one via a high speed Internet connection. Spare Switch locates packs and transfers files securely without the need for transfer cables or other accessories. Spare Switch, designed for both individual and business use, ensures that not only the files transfer easily, but that they will look, feel and work on the new computer in the same manner with all the personal settings and layouts built into them. We launched Spare Switch in August 2005.








Spare Switch is used by either downloading the software from the Internet or by inserting an installation CD into the old computer. Spare Switch then scans the hard drive and inventories of personal directories, giving the user a detailed report of the documents and other files. From that inventory, the user can then select the exact files that he or she wishes to transfer to the new PC. Spare Switch avoids the need for PC-to-PC transfer cable by compacting, encrypting and the transferring the files via the Internet. Spare Switch's data center can then hold the data for as long as a week, giving the user the flexibility to choose when to download the files to the new PC. The files are downloaded from our secure Spare Switch data center using the Spare Switch CD. Spare Switch uses a 256-bit encryption cipher with non-algorithmic key to ensure that the information is impervious to hackers at every step of the process.

The Company also reserves the right to pay finders fees for identifying investors in appropriate circumstances.  See “Plan of Distribution.”

RISK FACTORS










A purchase of the Units involves various risks, including, but not limited to, the risks set forth below. Prospective Investors should consider these risk factors in addition to the other information contained in this Memorandum and the exhibits attached hereto or incorporated by reference in this Memorandum and consult with their personal tax and investment advisors before making a decision to purchase the Units.







Risks Related to the Company









An investment in our common stock involves a significant degree of risk. You should not invest in our common stock unless you can afford to lose your entire investment. You should consider carefully the following risk factors and other information in this annual report before deciding to invest in our common stock. If any of the following risks and uncertainties develops into actual events, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected and you could lose your entire investment in our company.







WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES AND AN ACCUMULATED DEFICIT. WE ANTICIPATE CONTINUING LOSSES MAY RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOW PROBLEMS. THE REPORT ON OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR FISCAL 2008 CONTAINS AN EXPLANATORY PARAGRAPH REGARDING OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.







Our net losses for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $15,132,558 and $26,084,897, respectively. We have never generated sufficient revenues to fund our ongoing operations. Our operating losses for fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007 were $10,625,232 and $18,765,117, respectively, and these losses are primarily attributable to our sales, general and administrative expense. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern based upon our net losses, cash used in operations and working capital deficit.  Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital as described below.  The financial statements included in this annual report do not include any adjustments to reflect future adverse effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or amounts and classification of liabilities that may result if we are not able to continue as a going concern.







WE ARE CURRENTLY DEPENDENT ON OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH DSG INTERNATIONAL FOR A MAJORITY OF OUR REVENUES, WHICH RELATIONSHIP IS LIKELY TO TERMINATE IN THE FUTURE.







During 2008 approximately 77% of our net revenues were derived by sales through our relationship with DSG International.  While we are materially dependent upon the continued effort of that company to sell our products, we have no control direct control over the efforts of its sales force on our behalf.  A reduction in the revenues generated through our relationship with DSG International until such time as we broaden our distribution base to remove this dependence, assuming we are successful in those efforts, will materially adversely affect our results of operations in future periods.  The Company is currently in negotiations with DSG regarding revisions to our agreement with them, and management believes that unless suitable terms can be negotiated, our relationship will terminate.  While the Company is in negotiations with other companies, we can provide no assurances that any agreements can be negotiated which will offset the loss of revenues attributable to our agreement with DSG.









  





19











  






 


OUR REVENUES ARE NOT SUFFICIENT TO FUND OUR OPERATING EXPENSES AND WE WILL NEED TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL.







While our operating expenses have decreased approximately 40% for fiscal 2008 over fiscal 2007, we will need to significantly increase our revenues to fund these costs.  At December 31, 2008 we had approximately $19,000 of cash on hand and a working capital deficit of approximately $6.86 million. We have raised subsequent to December 31, 2008, approximately $50,000 from the sale of our common stock, and borrowed an aggregate of $803,000 under an 18-month note. The proceeds are being used for working capital purposes. However, our current working capital is not sufficient to pay our operating expenses, our obligations as they become due or certain tax liabilities nor is our working capital sufficient to fund any expansion of our company







While we are constantly evaluating our cash needs and existing burn rate in order to make appropriate adjustments in operating expenses, we need to raise additional debt or equity capital to provide funding for ongoing and future operations and to satisfy our obligations as they become due.  While we have historically been able to raise capital, the current capital markets are very challenging and there are no assurances that we will be successful in obtaining additional capital, or that such capital will be available on terms acceptable to us. Our continued existence is dependent upon, among other things, our ability to raise capital and to market and sell our products successfully. If we are unable to raise capital as needed, it is possible that we would be required to cease operations in which event you would lose your entire investment in our company.







WE CANNOT PREDICT OUR FUTURE REVENUES OR WHETHER OUR PRODUCTS WILL BE ACCEPTED. IF THE MARKETS FOR OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES DO NOT DEVELOP, OUR FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS WILL BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.







Net revenues from the sales of our Spare Backup line of products have been limited and insufficient to fund our ongoing operations. We reported net revenues of $1,381,443 and $260,350, respectively, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. While our net revenues significantly increased for fiscal 2008 over fiscal 2007, our net revenues will need to significantly increase if we are to provide cash to fund our operating expenses. We cannot guarantee either that the demand for our Spare Backup line of software products will develop, that such demand will be sustainable or that we will ever effectively compete in our market segment. In addition, we cannot predict what impact, if any; the reduction in discretionary spending will have on future sales of our products.  If we are unable to generate any significant net revenues from our products and services our business, operating results, and financial condition in future periods will be materially and adversely affected and we may not be able to continue our business as presently operated, if at all.









  





20











  






 


WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY $170,000 OF DEBT WHICH IS PRESENTLY PAST DUE AND AN ADDITIONAL $3,121,000 WHICH BECOME DUE DURING 2009 AND WE DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS NECESSARY TO PAY THESE OBLIGATIONS.







In addition to funding our operating expenses, we need capital to pay various debt obligations totaling approximately $3,291,000 which are either current past due or which are due in the current fiscal year. Currently, there are $170,000 principal amount of the 10% notes which have already become due in September 2008, $436,000 principal amount of the 10% notes which due dates have been extended between August 2009 and September 2009, the remaining $185,000 of the 10% notes and $2,500,000 of the 8% notes of short term debts becomes due between February 2009 to August 2009. The Company has not redeemed the required monthly redemption beginning in September 2008 in connection with the 10% Convertible Senior Unsecured promissory notes amounting to $195,000. Additionally, there are $560,000 principal amount of the 8% long-term notes which becomes due between February 2010 and July 2010. Under the terms of various of the short-term notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2,500,000, we have the right to force a conversion of those obligations into equity providing that we have registered the shares of common stock issuable upon such conversions prior to the maturity dates of the notes. We have not filed the requisite registration statement and unless we are successful in extending the maturity dates of these obligations it is not likely we will be able to avail our company of this opportunity before the notes become due. The existence of these obligations provide additional challenges to us in our efforts to raise capital to fund our operations.  If we are unable to restructure these notes and we are unable to raise the capital necessary to satisfy the obligations, it is possible we will be forced to cease operations.







WE WILL NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING WHICH WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN ON ACCEPTABLE TERMS. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL AS NEEDED, OUR CONTINUED OPERATIONS WILL BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED AND THE FUTURE GROWTH OF OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS WILL BE SEVERELY LIMITED.







 Historically, our operations have been financed primarily through the issuance of equity and debt. Because we have a history of losses and have never generated sufficient revenue to fund our ongoing operations, we are dependent on our continued ability to raise working capital through the issuance of equity or debt to fund our present operations. Because our operating expenses have continued to grow and we do not know if our net revenues will grow at a pace sufficient to fund our current operations, the continuation of our operations and any future growth will depend upon our ability to raise additional capital, possibly through the issuance of long-term or short-term indebtedness or the issuance of our equity securities in private or public transactions. While the actual amount of our future capital requirements, however, depend on a number of factors, including our ability to grow our net revenues and manage our business, it is likely we will need to raise a significant amount of capital during fiscal 2009 if we are to continue our current operations and satisfy our obligations as they become due. In addition to the challenges facing the capital markets today which make raising equity capital much more difficult for a company such as our than in prior years, the existence of a number of short term notes which are either currently past due or which will become due in 2009, together with the pending litigation facing our company and the piggy-back registration rights we have granted a number of investors serve to also make it harder to raise the capital we need. There can be no assurance that acceptable financing can be obtained on suitable terms, if at all. If we are unable to raise additional working capital as needed, our ability to continue our current business will be adversely affected and may be forced to curtail some or all of our operations.







WE ARE PAST DUE IN THE PAYMENT OF PAYROLL TAXES.







At July 31, 2009, we had $1,301,000 of accrued but unpaid payroll taxes due the federal government and since that date through March 15, 2009 the amount has increased to $903,000.  We do not have the funds necessary to satisfy this obligation.  If we are unable to raise the funds necessary, it is possible that we will be subject to significant additional fines and penalties, Mr. Perle, our President, could be personally subject to a 100% penalty on the amount of unpaid taxes and the government could file liens against our company and our bank accounts until such time as the amounts have been paid.









  





21











  






 


OUR PRICING MODEL FOR OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES IS UNPROVEN AND MAY BE LESS THAN ANTICIPATED, WHICH MAY HARM OUR GROSS MARGINS.







The pricing model of our products and services may be lower than expected as a result of competitive pricing pressures, promotional programs and customers who negotiate price reductions in exchange for longer term purchase commitments or otherwise. Our pricing model depends on the duration of the agreement, the specific requirements of the order, purchase volumes, the sales and service support and other contractual agreements. We expect to experience pricing pressure and anticipate that the average selling prices and gross margins for our products may decrease over product life cycles. We may not be successful in developing and introducing on a timely basis new products with enhanced features and services that can be sold at higher gross margins.







WE ARE A DEFENDANT IN A NUMBER OF LAWSUITS.







We are currently a defendant in five separate lawsuits in which the plaintiffs are seeking approximately $900,000 together with attorney’s fees, costs and prejudgment interest.  We are also incurring additional legal fees in our efforts to defend these actions.  While we believe our defenses are meritorious in each of these cases, should we not prevail in one or more of the actions we could be forced to pay significant amounts which, given our current cash position and need for working capital, could materially adversely affect our ability to continue as a going concern.







THE EXERCISE OF OUTSTANDING WARRANTS AND THE CONVERSION OF OUTSTANDING NOTES WILL BE DILUTIVE TO OUR EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS.







As of March 25, 2009 the following securities which are convertible or exercisable into shares of our common stock were outstanding:








	
·  

	
common stock purchase warrants to purchase a total of 46,466,879 shares of our common stock at prices ranging between $0.20 to $1.30 per share;













	
·  

	
21,468,750 shares of our common stock issuable upon the possible conversion of the outstanding $4,344,000 principal amount 8% and 10% convertible promissory notes due between September 2008 and July 2010, and













	
·  

	
21,456,930 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options with exercise prices ranging from $0.001 to $1.75.












The exercise of these warrants and the conversion of the notes may materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock and will have a dilutive effect on our existing stockholders.









  





22











  






 


OUR QUARTERLY FINANCIAL RESULTS WILL CONTINUE TO FLUCTUATE MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO FORECAST OUR OPERATING RESULTS.







Our quarterly operating results have fluctuated in the past and we expect our net revenues and operating results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:








	
·  

	
the announcement or introduction of new services and products by us and our competitors;













	
·  

	
our ability to upgrade and develop our products in a timely and effective manner;













	
·  

	
our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers at a steady rate, and maintain customer satisfaction;













	
·  

	
the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to expansion of our business and operations;













	
·  

	
government regulation; and













	
·  

	
general economic conditions and economic conditions specific to development and marketing of software products, the market acceptance of new products offered by us, our competitors and potential competitors.












Our limited operating history and unproven business model further contribute to the difficulty of making meaningful quarterly comparisons. Our current and future levels of expenditures are based primarily on our growth plans and estimates of expected future net revenues. Such expenditures are primarily fixed in the short term and our sales cycle can be lengthy. Accordingly, we may not be able to adjust spending or generate new revenue sources timely to compensate for any shortfall in net revenues.  If our operating results fall below the expectations of investors, our stock price will likely decline significantly.







BECAUSE WE EXPECT TO CONTINUE TO INCUR NET LOSSES, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY AND THE PRICE OF OUR STOCK MAY DECLINE.







We have incurred net losses quarterly from inception through December 31, 2008, and at December 31, 2008 we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $89 million. We expect to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future absent a significant increase in our revenues, of which there are no assurances. Accordingly, our ability to operate our business and implement our business strategy may be hampered by negative cash flows in the future, and the value of our stock may decline as a result. Our capital requirements may vary materially from those currently planned if, for example, we incur unforeseen capital expenditures, unforeseen operating expenses or investments to maintain our competitive position. If this is the case, we may have to delay or abandon some or all of our development plans or otherwise forego market opportunities. We will need to generate significant additional net revenues to be profitable in the future and we may not generate sufficient net revenues to be profitable on either a quarterly or annual basis in the future.







To address the risks and uncertainties facing our business strategy, we must, among other things:








	
·  

	
Achieve broad customer adoption and acceptance of our products and services;













	
·  

	
Successfully raise additional capital in the future;













	
·  

	
Successfully integrate, leverage and expand our product distribution;













	
·  

	
Successfully scale our current operations;













	
·  

	
Implement and execute our business and marketing strategies;













	
·  

	
Address intellectual property rights issues that affect our business;













	
·  

	
Develop and maintain strategic relationships to enhance the and marketing of our existing and new products and services; and













	
·  

	
Respond to competitive developments in the software industry.







 




  





23











  






 


We might not be successful in achieving any or all of these business objectives in a cost-effective manner, if at all, and the failure to achieve these could have a serious adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial position.  Each of these objectives may require significant additional expenditures on our part. Even if we ultimately do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.







WE HAVE NOT VOLUNTARILY IMPLEMENTED VARIOUS CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MEASURES, IN THE ABSENCE OF WHICH, STOCKHOLDERS MAY HAVE MORE LIMITED PROTECTIONS AGAINST INTERESTED DIRECTOR TRANSACTIONS, CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND SIMILAR MATTERS.







Recent Federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Some of these measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements. Others have been adopted by companies in response to the requirements of national securities exchanges, such as the NYSE or The Nasdaq Stock Market, on which their securities are listed. Among the corporate governance measures that are required under the rules of national securities exchanges are those that address board of directors' independence, audit committee oversight, and the adoption of a code of ethics. Although we have adopted a Code of Ethics, we have not yet adopted any of these other corporate governance measures and, since our securities are not yet listed on a national securities exchange, we are not required to do so. We have not adopted corporate governance measures such as an audit or other independent committees of our board of directors as we presently have only two independent directors. If we expand our board membership in future periods to include additional independent directors, we may seek to establish an audit and other committees of our board of directors. It is possible that if we were to adopt some or all of these corporate governance measures, stockholders would benefit from somewhat greater assurances that internal corporate decisions were being made by disinterested directors and that policies had been implemented to define responsible conduct. For example, in the absence of audit, nominating and compensation committees comprised of at least a majority of independent directors, decisions concerning matters such as compensation packages to our senior officers and recommendations for director nominees may be made by a majority of directors who have an interest in the outcome of the matters being decided. Prospective investors should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures in formulating their investment decisions.







WE CANNOT BE CERTAIN THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, AND WE MAY BE FOUND TO INFRINGE ON PROPRIETARY RIGHTS OF OTHERS, WHICH COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS







Our intellectual property is critical to our business, and we seek to protect our intellectual property through copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, confidentiality provisions in our customer, supplier, potential investors, and strategic relationship agreements, nondisclosure agreements with third parties, and invention assignment agreements with our employees and contractors. We cannot assure you that measures we take to protect our intellectual property will be successful or that third parties will not develop alternative solutions that do not infringe upon our intellectual property.









  





24











  






 


In addition, we could be subject to intellectual property infringement claims by others. Claims against us, and any resultant litigation, should it occur in regard to any of our services and applications, could subject us to significant liability for damages including treble damages for willful infringement. In addition, even if we prevail, litigation could be time-consuming and expensive to defend and could result in the diversion of our time and attention. Any claims from third parties may also result in limitations on our ability to use the intellectual property subject to these claims. Further, we plan to offer our services and applications to customers worldwide including customers in foreign countries that may offer less protection for our intellectual property than the United States. Our failure to protect against misappropriation of our intellectual property, or claims that we are infringing the intellectual property of third parties could have a negative effect on our business, revenues, financial condition and results of operations.







COMPETITION MAY DECREASE OUR MARKET SHARE, NET REVENUES, AND GROSS MARGINS.







We face intense and increasing competition in the web-base backup solutions market. If we do not compete effectively or if we experience reduced market share from increased competition, our business will be harmed. In addition, the more successful we are in the emerging market for web-based storage solutions, the more competitors are likely to emerge. We believe that the principal competitive factors in our market include:








	
·  

	
Service functionality, quality and performance;













	
·  

	
Ease of use, reliability and security of services;













	
·  

	
Establish a significant base of customers and distribution partners;













	
·  

	
Ability to introduce new services to the market in a timely manner;













	
·  

	
Customer service and support; and













	
·  

	
Pricing.












Our primary competitors are various Internet-based backup providers broadcasters, such as Connected.com, Novastar, Livevault, firstbackup.com, Carbonate, EMC/Mozy and Norton 360 a product of Symantac. These companies provide services similar to ours and each have to various degrees a market presence. We also compete with providers of traditional backup technologies, such as EMC and VERITAS along with CommVault Systems.







Substantially all of our competitors may have more capital, longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. These competitors may also engage in more extensive development of their technologies, adopt more aggressive pricing policies and establish more comprehensive marketing and advertising campaigns than we can. Our competitors may develop products and service offerings that we do not offer or that are more sophisticated or more cost effective than our own. For these and other reasons, our competitors' products and services may achieve greater acceptance in the marketplace than our own, limiting our ability to gain market share and customer loyalty and to generate sufficient net revenues to achieve a profitable level of operations. Our failure to adequately address any of the above factors could harm our business and operating results.









  





25











  






 


PROVISIONS OF OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS MAY DELAY OR PREVENT A TAKEOVER WHICH MAY NOT BE IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF OUR STOCKHOLDERS. WE RECENTLY ISSUED OUR CEO A SERIES OF SUPER VOTING PREFERRED STOCK, WHICH INCREASED HIS ABILITY TO CONTROL THE OUTCOME OF STOCKHOLDER VOTES.







Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may be deemed to have anti-takeover effects, which include when and by whom special meetings of our stockholders may be called, and may delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt. In addition, certain provisions of Delaware law also may be deemed to have certain anti-takeover effects which include that control of shares acquired in excess of certain specified thresholds will not possess any voting rights unless these voting rights are approved by a majority of a corporation's disinterested stockholders.







In addition, our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such rights and preferences as may be determined by our board of directors. Our board of directors may, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with dividends, liquidation, conversion or voting rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of our common stockholders. In January 2008 we created a series of 50,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock which carries super voting rights of 400 votes per share which were issued to our CEO as additional compensation. Prior to the issuance of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Mr. Perle he controlled the vote of approximately 10% of our outstanding voting securities.







As a result of the issuance of these securities, Mr. Perle now controls the vote of approximately 22.5% of our outstanding voting securities.  This action was approved by our Board of Directors of which Mr. Perle is a member in accordance with the provisions of our certificate of incorporation.







OUR COMMON STOCK IS CURRENTLY QUOTED ON THE OTCBB, BUT TRADING IN OUR STOCK IS LIMITED. BECAUSE OUR STOCK CURRENTLY TRADES BELOW $5.00 PER SHARE, AND IS QUOTED ON THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD, OUR STOCK IS CONSIDERED A "PENNY STOCK" WHICH CAN ADVERSELY EFFECT ITS LIQUIDITY.







The market for our common stock is extremely limited and there are no assurances an active market for our common stock will ever develop. Accordingly, purchasers of our common stock cannot be assured any liquidity in their investment. In addition, the trading price of our common stock is currently below $5.00 per share and we do not anticipate that it will be above $5.00 per share in the foreseeable future. Because the trading price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share, our common stock is considered a "penny stock," and trading in our common stock is subject to the requirements of Rule 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under this rule, broker/dealers who recommend low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements. SEC regulations also require additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a "penny stock," including the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and its associated risks. These requirements severely limit the liquidity of our securities in the secondary market because few broker or dealers are likely to undertake these compliance activities.








Dependence on content providers and other service providers and effect of interruptions.  Our operations also depend on receipt of timely feeds from our content providers, and any failure or delay in the transmission or receipt of such feeds could disrupt our operations. We also depend on Web browsers, ISPs and online service providers to provide access over the Internet to our product and service offerings. Many of these providers have experienced significant outages or interruptions in the past, and could experience outages, delays and other difficulties due to system failures unrelated to our systems. These types of interruptions could continue or increase in the future.









  





26











  









 


Our digital distribution activities are managed by sophisticated software and computer systems. We must continually develop and update these systems over time as our business and business needs grow and change, and these systems may not adequately reflect the current needs of our business. We may encounter delays in developing these systems, and the systems may contain undetected errors that could cause system failures. Any system error or failure that causes interruption in availability of products or content or an increase in response time could result in a loss of potential or existing business services customers, users, advertisers or content providers. If we suffer sustained or repeated interruptions, our products, services and Web sites could be less attractive to such entities or individuals and our business could be harmed.










Significant portions of our business are dependent on providing customers with efficient and reliable services to enable customers to broadcast content to large audiences on a live or on-demand basis. Our operations are dependent in part upon transmission capacity provided by third-party telecommunications network providers. Any failure of such network providers to provide the capacity we require may result in a reduction in, or interruption of, service to our customers. If we do not have access to third-party transmission capacity, we could lose customers and, if we are unable to obtain such capacity on terms commercially acceptable to us our business and operating results could suffer.







Our computer and communications infrastructure is located at a single leased facility in California. We do not have fully redundant systems, and we may not have adequate business interruption insurance to compensate us for losses that may occur from a system outage. Despite our efforts, our network infrastructure and systems could be subject to service interruptions or damage and any resulting interruption of services could harm our business, operating results and reputation.







Performance Dependent on Executive Officers.  Our performance is highly dependent on the continued services of our executive officers and other key personnel, the loss of any of whom could materially affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.







Absence of Public Market for Warrants.  There is no public trading market for the Warrants. We do not intend to list the Warrants on any national securities exchange or to seek the admission thereof to trading in the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System or any other quotation system. Investors have no right to cause us to redeem, repurchase or prepay their Warrants. Accordingly, Investors will not be able to liquidate their investment in the Warrants in the event of an emergency or for any other reason and the Warrants will not be readily accepted as collateral for loans. The Units should be purchased only by persons who have no need for liquidity in their investment.







Minimum Funding.  We have an immediate need for the proceeds from this Offering to be utilized in financing operations. See “Use of Proceeds.” As a result of our need for immediate funding, we have established a Minimum Offering that will allow us to access the proceeds from this Offering even if we are only able to sell 50,000 Units for $75,000. Despite our ability to access such proceeds, if only the Minimum Offering is generated through the sale of the Units, we will not be able to meet our working capital needs for 2009. Accordingly, early Investors will be at much greater risk since we will have less working capital available to finance operations.









  





27











  






 


Discretion as to Use of Proceeds.  We will have discretion with respect to the use of the proceeds of this Offering. The proceeds will be used primarily for funding working capital needs and the repayment of indebtedness. The Investors must depend upon our management and their judgment as to the use of proceeds. If we fail to apply these funds effectively, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected. Investors will not participate in these decisions and must evaluate this risk.







Speculative Investment. Our business must be considered speculative and there is no assurance that we will satisfy any of its business goals. Because an investment in the Units involves a high degree of risk, no assurance can be given that the Investors will realize any return on their investment, or that they will not lose their entire investment altogether.







Purchase Price of Units. The purchase price for the Units does not necessarily bear any relationship to our assets, book value, earnings or other established criteria of value. Among factors considered in determining the purchase price are the history of, and prospects for, our business, an assessment of our management, our past and present operations and development.







Immediate and Substantial Dilution. The Offering Price per Unit is substantially higher than the net tangible book value of each outstanding share of Common Stock. Purchasers of Units in this Offering will suffer immediate and substantial dilution.







No Dividends. We anticipate that we will retain all future earnings and other cash resources for the future operation and development of our business and we do not intend to declare or pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Future payment of cash dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors after taking into account many factors, including our operating results, financial condition and capital requirements. Corporations that pay dividends may be viewed as a better investment than corporations that do not.







Insider Control. Our principal shareholders, directors and executive officers and entities affiliated with them beneficially own approximately 23% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock. As a result, these shareholders, if they act together, would be able to significantly influence or even control matters requiring approval by our shareholders, including the election of directors and the approval of mergers or other extraordinary transactions. They may also have interests that differ from our remaining shareholders and may vote in a way with which those shareholders disagree and which may be adverse to their interests. The concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of our Company, could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their Common Stock as part of a sale of our Company and might ultimately affect the market price of our Common Stock.







Securities sold in this Offering will be “restricted.”  The Securities sold in this Offering will be “restricted” securities, which have not been registered under federal or state securities laws and will not be freely transferable. While we will undertake to file a registration statement to register the shares of Common Stock underlying the Shares and the Warrants to be issued in the Offering, there can be no assurances that such registration statement will ever be filed, or if filed, will ever be declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. As such, Investors must be prepared to bear the economic risks of investment for an indefinite period of time since the Securities cannot be sold unless they are subsequently registered or an exemption from registration is available.

The foregoing represents our best estimate of the application of the net proceeds of the Offering based upon present plans and current business conditions.  Unforeseen events, changed business conditions and a number of other factors that are beyond our control could necessitate changes in the application of proceeds. We reserve the right to reallocate the net proceeds of the Offering among the various uses described above or for such other purposes, as we, at our sole discretion, deem necessary or desirable. In the event that we change the use of proceeds of the Offering, we may require debt or equity financing to meet our business plan. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional funding when it is needed, or that such funding, if available, will be obtainable on terms favorable to and affordable by us.










DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE










The Offering Price of the Units in this Offering has been arbitrarily determined and bears no relationship to the Company’s assets, earnings, book value, net tangible value, or other generally accepted criteria of value for investment. The Offering Price does not reflect market forces and should not be regarded as an indicator of any future market price of the Company’s securities.

Common Stock


 


The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote Holders of the Common Stock do not have preemptive rights to purchase additional shares of Common Stock or other subscription rights. The Common Stock carries no conversion rights and is not subject to redemption or to any sinking fund provisions. All shares of Common Stock are entitled to share equally in dividends from sources legally available therefore when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors and, upon liquidation or dissolution, whether voluntary or involuntary, to share equally in the assets available for distribution to shareholders. All outstanding shares are validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The shares of Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of directors. The Board of Directors is authorized to issue additional shares of Common Stock, not to exceed the amount authorized by our Certificate of Incorporation, and to issue options and warrants for the purchase of such shares on such terms and conditions and for such consideration as the Board may deem appropriate without further shareholder action. The above description concerning the Common Stock does not purport to be complete. Reference is made to our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, which are available for inspection at our principal executive offices, as well as to the applicable statutes of the State of Delaware for a more complete description concerning the rights and liabilities of shareholders.







Preferred Stock









Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such rights and preferences as may be determined by our board of directors. Our board of directors may, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with dividends, liquidation, conversion or voting rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of our common stockholders. In January 2008 we created a series of 50,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock which carries super voting rights of 400 votes per share which were issued to our CEO as additional compensation. Prior to the issuance of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Mr. Perle he controlled the vote of approximately 10% of our outstanding voting securities.







As a result of the issuance of these securities, Mr. Perle now controls the vote of approximately 22.5% of our outstanding voting securities. This action was approved by our Board of Directors of which Mr. Perle is a member in accordance with the provisions of our certificate of incorporation.








Investor Warrants







The following is a brief summary of certain provisions of the Investor Warrants and is qualified by the terms in all respects by reference to the actual text of the Warrant Agreement between us and the warrant holder.







Exercise Price and Terms. Each Unit offered hereby entitles the holder thereof to purchase, at any time up and until two years from the issuance date, 5 (five) share of Common Stock at a price of $.20 per share, subject to adjustment in accordance with the anti-dilution and other provisions referred to below.







The exercise price of the Investor Warrants bears no relation to any objective criteria of value and should in no event be regarded as an indication of any future market price of the securities offered hereby.







We have authorized and reserved for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to accommodate the exercise of all Investor Warrants to be issued in this offering. All shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the Investor Warrants, if exercised in accordance with their terms, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.







Adjustments. The exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Investor Warrants are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, including stock dividends, stock splits, combinations or reclassification of the Common Stock.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Spare Backup, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to issue in the name of, and sell and deliver to ___________________ (the "Holder") a certificate or certificates for an aggregate of _____________________ (____________________) total shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), upon payment by the Holder of $0.20 per share of the total underlying shares (the “Exercise Price”), with the Exercise Price being subject to adjustment in the circumstances set forth below.








	
  

	
1.

	
Exercise of Warrant












(A)           Exercise Period.  The Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part (but not as to fractional shares), at any time and from time to time commencing on the date hereof and ending at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the second (2nd) anniversary of the date hereof (the “Exercise Period”).







(B)           Exercise Procedure.







(i)           This Warrant will be deemed to have been exercised at such time as the Company has received all of the following items (the “Exercise Date”):







(a)           a completed Exercise Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, executed by the Holder (the “Purchaser”); and







(b)           a certified check or other immediately available funds payable to the Company in an amount equal to the sum of the product of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased upon such exercise.







(ii)           Certificates for the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant will be delivered by the Company to the Purchaser within ten (10) business days after the Exercise Date.  Unless this Warrant has expired or all of the purchase rights represented hereby have been exercised, the Company will prepare a new Warrant representing the rights formerly represented by this Warrant that have not expired or been exercised.  The Company will, within such ten (10) day period, deliver such new Warrant to the Holder at the address set forth in this Warrant.







(iii)           The shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant will be deemed to have been transferred to the Purchaser on the Exercise Date, and the Purchaser will be deemed for all purposes to have become the record holder of such Common Stock on the Exercise Date.







(iv)           The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant will be made without charge to the Purchaser for any issuance tax in respect thereof or any other cost incurred by the Company in connection with such exercise and related transfer of the shares; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate or instrument in a name other than that of the Holder of this Warrant, and that the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such certificate or instrument unless and until the person or persons requiring the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.









  





36











  




 




(v)           Unless the Company shall have registered the shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant will be “restricted securities” as that term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933. The Company may insert the following or similar legend on the face of the certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock if required in compliance with state securities laws:







"These securities have not been registered under any state securities laws and may not be sold or otherwise transferred­ or disposed of except pursuant to an effective registration statement under any applicable state securities laws, or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to counsel to the Company that an exemption from registration under any applicable state securities laws is available."


 


(C)           Fractional Shares.  The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Common Stock on the exercise of this Warrant.  The Company shall not be obligated to issue any fractional share interests or fractional warrant interests upon the exercise of this Warrant, nor shall it be obligated to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of fractional interests, provided, however, that if a holder exercises all the Warrants held of record by such holder, the Company shall at its option (i) eliminate the fractional interests by rounding any fraction up to the nearest whole number of shares or (ii) within 30 days after the Exercise Date, deliver to the Purchaser a check payable to the Purchaser, in lieu of such fractional share, in an amount equal to the value of such fractional share as determined by the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock as reported on the principal exchange on which the Company’s Common Stock is then traded, as of the close of business on the Exercise Date.







2.           Effect of Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale







(A)           Recapitalization or Reclassification of Common Stock.  In case the Company shall at any time prior to the satisfaction of the note underlying this Warrant, or the Exercise of this Warrant, or the expiration of the Exercise Period, whichever first occurs, effect a recapitalization or reclassification of such character that its Common Stock shall be changed into or become exchangeable for a larger or smaller number of shares, then, upon the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to purchase upon exercise hereof shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, in direct proportion to the increase or decrease in such number of shares of Common Stock by reason of such recapitalization or reclassification, and the Exercise Price of such recapitalized or reclassified Common Stock shall, in the case of an increase in the number of shares, be proportionately decreased and, in  the  case  of  a  decrease  in  the  number  of  shares,  be proportionately increased.







(B)           Consolidation, Merger or Sale.  In case the Company shall at any time prior to the satisfaction of the note underlying this Warrant, or the exercise of this Warrant, or the expiration of the Exercise Period, whichever first occurs, consolidate or merge with any other corporation (unless the Company shall be the surviving entity) or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any other corporation preparatory to a dissolution, then the Company shall, as a condition precedent to such transaction, cause effective provision to be made so that the Holder of this Warrant, upon the exercise thereof after the effective date of such transaction, shall be entitled to receive the kind and amount of shares, evidences of indebtedness, and/or other property receivable on such transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock as to which the Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to such transaction (without giving effect to any restriction upon such exercise); and, in any such case, appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder hereof to the effect that the provisions of this Warrant shall thereafter be applicable (as nearly as may be practicable) with respect to any shares, evidences of indebtedness, or other securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant.









  





37











  






 


(C)           Notice of Adjustment.  Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted as provided herein, the Company shall file with its corporate records a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth the computation and the adjusted number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder resulting from such adjustments, and a copy of such certificate shall be mailed to the Holder.  Any such certificate or letter shall be conclusive evidence as to the correctness of the adjustment or adjustments referred to therein and shall be available for inspection by the holders of the Warrants on any day during normal business hours.







3.           Reservation of Common Stock.  The Company will at all time reserve and keep available such number of shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of this Warrant.  Upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to its terms, the Holder will acquire fully paid and non-assessable ownership rights of the Common Stock, free and clear of any liens, claims or encumbrances except as otherwise provided herein.







4.           No Shareholder Rights or Obligations.  This Warrant will not entitle the Holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company.  Until the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant are recorded as issued on the books and records of the Company’s transfer agent, the Holder shall not be entitled to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder; provided, however, the Company uses its best efforts to ensure that, upon receipt of the Exercise Agreement and payment of the Exercise Price, the appropriate documentation necessary to effectuate the exercise of the Warrant and the issuance of the Common Stock is accomplished as expeditiously as possible.  No provision of this Warrant, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase Common Stock, and no enumeration in this Warrant of the rights or privileges of the Holder, will give rise to any obligation of such Holder for the Exercise Price or as a stockholder of the Company.








5.           Trading Threshold for Call Feature.  For the 10 Trading Days immediately preceding the applicable Call Date, the average of the Per Share Market Value (as defined below) for such 10 Trading Days shall be at least $.50.













As used herein, “Per Share Market Value” means on any particular date (a) the closing bid price per share of Common Stock on such date on the NASDAQ or on such Subsequent Market on which the shares of Common Stock are then listed or quoted, or if there is no such price on such date, then the average of the closing bid and asked prices on the NASDAQ or on such Subsequent Market on the date nearest preceding such date, or (b) if the shares of Common Stock are not then listed or quoted on the NASDAQ or a Subsequent Market, the average of the closing bid and asked prices for a share of Common Stock in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated or similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices) at the close of business on such date, or (c) if the shares of Common Stock are not then reported by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated (or similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), then the average of the "Pink Sheet" quotes for the relevant conversion period, as determined in good faith by the Holder, or (d) if the shares of Common Stock are not then publicly traded, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an appraiser selected in good faith by the Holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants then outstanding; and




 




  





38











  




 




6.           Transferability.  Subject to the terms hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant with a properly executed Assignment in the form of Exhibit 2 hereto at the principal offices of the Company.  This Warrant and the underlying shares of Common Stock may not be offered, sold or transferred except in compliance with the Act, and any applicable state securities laws, and then only against receipt of an agreement of the person to whom such offer or sale or transfer is made to comply with the provisions of this Warrant with respect to any resale or other disposition of such securities; provided that no such agreement shall be required from any person purchasing this Warrant or the underlying shares of Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement effective under the Act.  The Holder of this Warrant agrees that, prior to the disposition of any security purchased on the exercise hereof other than pursuant to a registration statement then effective under the Act, or any similar statute then in effect, the Holder shall give written notice to the Company, expressing his intention as to such disposition.  Upon receiving such notice, the Company shall present a copy thereof to its securities counsel.  If, in the sole opinion of such counsel, which such opinion shall not be unreasonably withheld, the proposed disposition does not require registration of such security under the Act, or any similar statute then in effect, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, notify the Holder of such opinion, whereupon the Holder shall be entitled to dispose of such security in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the Holder to the Company.

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY







The Company represents and warrants to the Investor, as of the date hereof, the Initial Closing Date and each Subsequent Closing Date, that:







(a) The Company has been validly formed and is legally existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of California, with full corporate power and authority to conduct its business as currently conducted, and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or the nature of its properties requires such qualification or authorization, except where the failure to be so qualified or authorized and in good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business and financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”).  As of the date hereof, the Company does not have, directly or indirectly, any subsidiaries other than as disclosed in the Company’s filings with the SEC (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”).  Each Subsidiary has been duly organized, is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has the power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business and is duly qualified and authorized to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or the nature of its properties requires such qualification or authorization, except where the failure to be so qualified or authorized and in good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


(b) Except for the Subsidiaries and as otherwise disclosed in its public filings, the Company holds no ownership or other interest, nominal or beneficial, direct or indirect, in any corporation, partnership, joint venture or other business entity.  All of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each Subsidiary is owned by the Company, free and clear of any lien, charge, mortgage, pledge, security interest, claim, equity, trust or other encumbrance, preferential arrangement, defect or restriction of any kind whatsoever (each, a “Lien”), and has been duly authorized and validly issued, and is non-assessable.


 


(c) The current authorized capital stock of the Company 300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 50,000 shares have been designated as Series A Preferred Stock.  The Company has received the required stockholder votes by virtue of proxy approving the authorized capital to be increased to 300,000,000 shares of common stock.  As of the date hereof  not more than 175,000,000 shares of Common Stock are issued and outstanding or reserved for issuance for any derivative instruments outstanding, and all such shares of capital stock (including the Securities issued in the Placement) are, as the case may be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject to preemptive rights.  The Shares and the Warrant Shares have been duly reserved, and when issued in accordance with the terms of the Placement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject to preemptive or any other similar rights and no personal liability will attach to the ownership thereof.  The outstanding options, warrants and other convertible securities of the Company are as set forth in the Memorandum and the Company’s filings with the SEC (collectively, the “Company Documents”).  The issuance of the Securities or the consummation of the Placement will not trigger any resetting or re-pricing of any debt or equity security instrument of the Company or any Subsidiary.


 




  





55











  




 




(d) Neither the Memorandum, the Subscription Documents nor any of Company Documents contain any untrue statement of a material fact, and the Company Documents will not omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that the Company shall have no liability for any information provided to the Company in writing by, and relating to, the Placement Agent, for use in and used in the Memorandum.  It is understood that any summary in the Memorandum of a document which appears therein in full (either as signed or substantially in the form to be signed) does not constitute an untrue or misleading statement merely because it is a summary; provided, however, that any such summary may not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  If, at any time before the Placement is completed or terminated or before all subscriptions are accepted by the Company, there should be any change which would cause the Company Documents not to comply with this Section 7(d), the Company will promptly advise the Investor thereof and make any necessary corrective filings with the SEC and prepare and furnish the Placement Agent with such copies of such supplements or amendments to the Memorandum and the Subscription Documents as will cause the Memorandum and the Subscription Documents, as so supplemented or amended, to comply with this Section 7(d), and will make to Investors, if deemed necessary by counsel to the Company, an offer of rescission.


 


(e) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in: (i) violation of its certificate or articles of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational documents, (ii) default under, and no event has occurred which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default under or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its property or assets pursuant to, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of its property or assets is subject or (iii) violation in any respect of any law, rule, regulation, ordinance, directive, judgment, decree or order of any judicial, regulatory or other legal or governmental agency or body, foreign or domestic, except (in the case of clause (ii) above) for any Lien disclosed in the Memorandum and the exhibits thereto and except, in the cases of (ii) and (iii), where such defaults or violations do not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


(f) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, all Company Documents, the Subscription Documents, the Warrants and all other documents to be entered into by the Company in connection with any transaction described in the Memorandum or in connection with the Placement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have been or will be prior to such execution, delivery, performance or consummation, as the case may be, duly and validly authorized by the Company and do not and will not: (i) constitute, or result in, a breach or violation of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) constitute, or result in, a material violation of any applicable statute, law, ordinance or regulation of any state, territory or other jurisdiction, or (iii) violate, constitute, or result in, a default under (or an event which with the passing of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute a default under) or breach of the terms, provisions or conditions of any material indenture, note, contract, commitment, instrument or document to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is or will be a party or by which the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties are bound, or any award, judgment, decree, rule or regulation of any court or governmental or regulatory agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective activities or properties except, in the cases of (ii) and (iii), where such defaults or violations do not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


(g) This Agreement, the Subscription Documents, the Warrants and all other documents to be entered into by the Company in connection with any transaction described in the Memorandum or in connection with the Placement have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except insofar as enforcement of the indemnification or contribution provisions hereof may be limited by applicable laws or principles of public policy and except further as to enforcement, to the availability of equitable remedies and limitations imposed by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other similar laws and related court decisions relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally.

Each such Consent is valid and in full force and effect, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received written notice of any investigation or proceedings which results in or, if decided adversely to the Company or any Subsidiary, could reasonably be expected to result in, the revocation of, or imposition of a materially burdensome restriction on, any Consent.

In connection with the Placement, neither the Company nor the Company Representatives shall offer or cause to be offered the Units by any form of general solicitation or general advertising as defined in Rule 502(c) of Regulation D.  The Company and the Company Representatives have not taken and shall not take any action (except for actions contemplated by the Memorandum) that would cause the Placement to be integrated with other transactions under Rule 502(a) of Regulation D.

(r) Except as disclosed in the Company Documents, and except for such matters that, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the business, operations or financial results of the Company and its subsidiaries (either individually or in the aggregate) there are no claims, actions, suits, investigations or proceedings before or by any arbitrator, court, governmental authority or instrumentality pending or threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its subsidiaries or involving the properties of the Company which might affect the business, properties or financial condition of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or which might affect the transactions or other acts contemplated by this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement;

(v) So long as the Common Stock and the Warrants (including the Common Stock receivable upon the exercise thereof) are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, the Company, during any period in which it is not subject to and in compliance with Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or is not exempt from such reporting requirements pursuant to and in compliance with Rule 12g3-2b under the Exchange Act, provide to each holder of Common Stock and to each prospective purchaser (as designated by such holder) of Common Stock upon the request of such holder or prospective holder, any information required to be provided by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.




 


(w) The Company is not and, at all times up to and including consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and after giving effect to application of the net proceeds of the Placement, will not be, subject to registration as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and is not and will not be an entity “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the 1940 Act.   The Company will: (i) utilize the proceeds of the Placement in accordance with the “Use of Proceeds” section of the Memorandum and (ii) initially utilize the proceeds of the Placement and all other funds of the Company in such a manner so as to cause the Company not to be subject to the 1940 Act, and will thereafter use its best efforts to avoid the Company’s becoming subject to the 1940 Act.


 


(x) No relationship, direct or indirect, exists between or among any of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, on the one hand, and any director, officer, stockholder, customer or supplier of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, on the other hand, which is required by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or the Rules and Regulations to be described in the Memorandum or the Company’s filings with the SEC which is not so described.  There are no outstanding loans (except for mortgage loans made in the ordinary course of business), advances (except normal advances for business expenses in the ordinary course of business) or guarantees of indebtedness by the Company to or for the benefit of any of the officers or directors of the Company or any of their respective family members, except as disclosed in the Memorandum.


 


(y) The Company and each Subsidiary owns or leases all such properties as are necessary to the conduct of its business as presently operated.  The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good and marketable title to all personal property owned by them, in each case free and clear of all Liens except such as are described in the Memorandum or such as do not (individually or in the aggregate) materially interfere with the use made or proposed to be made of such property by the Company and the Subsidiaries.  Any real property and buildings held under lease or sublease by the Company and the Subsidiaries are held by them under valid and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material to, and do not interfere with, the use made and proposed to be made of such property  and buildings by the Company and the Subsidiaries.  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any written notice (or, to the Company’s knowledge, any other notice) of any claim adverse to its ownership of any real or personal property or of any claim against the continued possession of any real property, whether owned or held under lease or sublease by the Company or any Subsidiary.

(z) The Company and each Subsidiary: (i) owns or possesses all rights to use, option and/or license, as the case may be, all patents, patent applications, provisional patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, trademark registrations, service mark registrations, copyrights, licenses, formulae, mask works, customer lists, internet domain names, know-how and other intellectual property (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or un-patentable proprietary or confidential information, systems or procedures, “Intellectual Property”) necessary for the conduct of their respective businesses as being conducted and as described in the Memorandum and (ii) does not believe that the conduct of their respective businesses does or will conflict with, and have not received any notice of any claim of conflict with, any such right of others, which conflict would have a Material Adverse Effect.  To the best of the Company’s knowledge, all Intellectual Property developed by and belonging to the Company or any Subsidiary (including, without limitation, that which is developed by consultants to the Company or any Subsidiary) which has not been patented has been kept confidential so as, among other things, all such information may be deemed proprietary to the Company.  To the Company’s knowledge, there is no infringement by third parties of any Intellectual Property.  There are no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened actions, suits, proceedings or claims by others challenging the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s rights in or to any Intellectual Property, and there are no facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such claim.  There is no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others that the Company or any Subsidiary infringes or otherwise violates any Intellectual Property rights of others, in each case which would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, and the Company is unaware of any other fact which would form a reasonable basis for any such claim.


 


(aa) The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain insurance in such amounts and covering such risks as are customary for similarly-sized public companies engaged in similar businesses in similar industries, all of which insurance is in full force and effect.  There are no material claims by the Company or any Subsidiary under any such policy or instrument as to which any insurance company is denying liability or defending under a reservation of rights clause.  The Company reasonably believes that it will be able to renew its existing insurance as and when such coverage expires or will be able to obtain replacement insurance adequate for the conduct of its business.







(bb) Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries has properly prepared and timely filed all federal, state, foreign and other tax returns that are required to be filed by it and has paid or made provision for the payment of, except such as may be contested in good faith, all taxes, assessments, governmental or other similar charges, including without limitation, all sales and use taxes and all taxes which the Company or any Subsidiary is obligated to withhold from amounts owing to employees, creditors and third parties, with respect to the periods covered by such tax returns (whether or not such amounts are shown as due on any tax return).  No deficiency assessment with respect to a proposed adjustment of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’ federal, state, local or foreign taxes is pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened which, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would have a Material Adverse Effect.  The accruals and reserves on the books and records of the Company and the Subsidiaries in respect of tax liabilities for any taxable period not finally determined are adequate in all material respects to meet any assessments and related liabilities for any such period and, since the date of the Company’s most recent audited financial statements, the Company and the Subsidiaries have not incurred any liability for taxes other than in the ordinary course of its business.  There is no tax Lien, whether imposed by any federal, state, foreign or other taxing authority, outstanding against the assets, properties or business of the Company or any Subsidiary.

(cc) No labor disturbance by the employees of the Company or any Subsidiary currently exists or, to the Company’s knowledge, is likely to occur.


 


(dd) No “prohibited transaction” (as defined in either Section 406 of the ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (the “Code”)), “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA) or other event of the kind described in Section 4043(b) of ERISA (other than events with respect to which the 30-day notice requirement under Section 4043 of ERISA has been waived) has occurred with respect to any employee benefit plan for which the Company or any Subsidiary would have any liability; each employee benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary is in compliance in all material respects with applicable law, including (without limitation) ERISA and the Code; the Company has not incurred and does not expect to incur liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to the termination of, or withdrawal from any “pension plan”; and each employee benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified and nothing has occurred, whether by action or by failure to act, which could cause the loss of such qualification.


 


(ee) Neither the Company, any Subsidiary nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any of their respective employees or agents has at any time during the last five (5) years: (i) made any unlawful contribution to any candidate for foreign office, or failed to disclose fully any contribution in violation of law, or (ii) made any payment to any federal or state governmental officer or official, or other person charged with similar public or quasi-public duties, other than payments that are not prohibited by the laws of the United States or any jurisdiction thereof or any foreign jurisdiction.


 


(ff) The Company has not offered the Units to any person or entity with the intention of unlawfully influencing: (i) a customer or supplier of the Company or any Subsidiary to alter the customer’s or supplier’s level or type of business with the Company or any Subsidiary or (ii) a journalist or publication to write or publish favorable information about the Company, any Subsidiary or its products or services


 


(gg) In addition to the foregoing, to the extent not set forth herein, the Investor may rely on the representations and warranties made by the Company in the Subscription Agreement provided by the Company and used in connection with the Placement.
