PHOENIX AGRI ENTERPRISES, INC.


 


COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT


 







This Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of October 18, 2010, by and between Phoenix Agri Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and GroRiver Capital LLC, a limited liability company duly organized under the laws of Texas (“Purchaser”).


 


1.           Sale of Stock.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Purchase Date (as defined below), the Company will issue and sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Company, 800,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Shares”) at a purchase price of $0.01 per Share for a total purchase price of $8,000.  The term “Shares” refers to the purchased Shares and all securities received in replacement of or in connection with the Shares pursuant to stock dividends or splits, all securities received in replacement of the Shares in a recapitalization, merger, reorganization, exchange, or the like, and all new, substituted, or additional securities or other properties to which Purchaser is entitled by reason of Purchaser’s ownership of the Shares.


 


2.           Purchase.  The purchase and sale of the Shares under this Agreement shall occur at the principal office of the Company simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement by the parties or on such other date as the Company and Purchaser shall agree (the “Purchase Date”).  On the Purchase Date, the Company will deliver to Purchaser a certificate representing the Shares to be purchased by Purchaser (which shall be issued in Purchaser’s name) against payment of the purchase price therefore by check made payable to the Company.


 


3.           Investment Representations.  In connection with the purchase of the Shares, Purchaser represents to the Company the following:


 


(a)           Purchaser is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition, and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares.  Purchaser is purchasing the Shares for investment for its own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.


 


(b)           Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed herein.


 


(c)           Purchaser understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, Purchaser must hold the Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available.  Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Shares for resale.  Purchaser further acknowledges that, if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Shares, and requirements relating to the Company that are outside of the Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.


 


4.           Legends.  The certificate or certificates representing the Shares shall bear the following legend (as well as any legends required by applicable state and federal corporate and securities laws):


 


THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF.  NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.


 






  





  











  








5.           Miscellaneous.


 


(a)           Governing Law.

In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (i) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded, and (iii) the balance of the Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.


 


(d)           Construction.  This Agreement is the result of negotiations between and has been reviewed by each of the parties hereto and their respective counsel, if any; accordingly, this Agreement shall be deemed to be the product of all of the parties hereto, and no ambiguity shall be construed in favor of or against any one of the parties hereto.
