RESTRICTED STOCK ISSUANCE AGREEMENT

 

The following provisions are hereby incorporated into, and are hereby made a part of, that certain Restricted Stock Issuance Agreement (the “Issuance Agreement”) by and between Valence Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and _________________ (“Participant”) evidencing the Shares of Restricted Stock issued on this date to Participant under the Company’s 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), and such provisions shall be effective immediately.  All capitalized terms in this Addendum, to the extent not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Issuance Agreement or the Plan.

 

INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION FOLLOWING

 

A CHANGE IN CONTROL

 

To the extent the Company’s rights under the Issuance Agreement are assumed by the successor corporation (or the parent thereof) in connection with a Change in Control or is otherwise to continue in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction, no accelerated vesting of the Shares of Restricted Stock shall occur upon that Change in Control transaction, and the rights of the Company pursuant to the Issuance Agreement shall continue to remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms of the Issuance Agreement.  Participant shall accordingly continue, over his or her period of Service following the Change in Control, to vest in the Shares of Restricted Stock in one or more installments in accordance with the provisions of the Issuance Agreement.  However, upon an Involuntary Termination of Participant’s Service [within eighteen (18) months] following such Change in Control, all the Unvested Shares shall immediately vest in full at that time.  “Involuntary Termination” shall mean the termination of the service of any individual which occurs by reason of:

 

(a) such individual’s involuntary dismissal or discharge by the Company for reasons other than Misconduct; or

 

(b) such individual’s voluntary resignation following (i) a change in his or her position with the Company which materially reduces his or her duties and responsibilities or the level of management to which he or she reports, [provided, however, that any reduction in duties and responsibilities or reduction in the level of management to which he or she reports resulting solely from the Company being acquired by and made a part of a larger entity (as, for example, when a chief financial officer becomes an employee of the acquiring corporation following a Change of Control but is not the chief financial officer of the acquiring corporation) shall not constitute an Involuntary Termination]; (ii) a reduction in his or her level of compensation (including base salary, fringe benefits and target bonus under any corporate-performance based bonus or incentive programs) by more than fifteen percent (15%); or (iii) a relocation of such individual’s place of employment by more than fifty (50) miles, provided and only if such change, reduction or relocation is effected without the individual’s consent.

The Company is conducting a private placement (the “Offering”) of a minimum of 1 Million Dollars ($1,000,000) and a maximum of 2.5 Million Dollars ($2,500,000) of shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), at a purchase price of $0.05 per share of Common Stock (the “Purchase Price”).

 

1.           SUBSCRIPTION AND PURCHASE PRICE

 

(a)           Subscription.  Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2 hereof, the Subscriber hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock indicated on the signature page hereof on the terms and conditions described herein.

 

(b)           Purchase of Common Stock.  The Subscriber understands and acknowledges that the purchase price to be remitted to the Company in exchange for the shares of Common Stock shall be as set forth in the preamble to this Agreement, and the Company shall round up or down to the nearest whole number any fractional purchases per share of Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price as set forth on the signature pages hereof (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”).

2.           ACCEPTANCE, OFFERING TERM AND CLOSING PROCEDURES

 

(a) Acceptance or Rejection. Subject to full, faithful and punctual performance and discharge by the Company of all of its duties, obligations and responsibilities as set forth in this Agreement, the Subscriber shall be legally bound to purchase the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, upon the occurrence of the failure by the Company to fully, faithfully and punctually perform and discharge any of its duties, obligations and responsibilities as set forth in this Agreement, which shall have been performed or otherwise discharged prior to the Closing (as defined below), the Subscriber may, on or prior to the Closing, at its sole and absolute discretion, elect not to purchase the shares of Common Stock and receive the full and immediate refund of the purchase price remitted to the Company, without interest thereon or deduction therefrom. The Subscriber understands and agrees that the Company reserves the right to reject this subscription for shares in whole or part in any order at any time prior to the Closing for any reason, notwithstanding the Subscriber’s prior receipt of notice of acceptance of the Subscriber’s subscription.  In the event the Closing does not take place because of (i) the rejection of subscription for shares of Common Stock by the Company, (ii) the election not to purchase the shares of Common Stock by the Subscriber or (iii) failure to effectuate the Closing on or prior to May 9, 2011, unless otherwise extended at the Company’s sole discretion to May 23, 2011, for any reason or no reason, unless waived by the Subscriber, this Agreement and any other agreement entered into between the Subscriber and the Company relating to this subscription shall thereafter be terminated and have no force or effect, and the Company shall promptly return or cause to be returned to the Subscriber the purchase price remitted to the Company, without interest thereon or deduction therefrom.

(b)           Closing.  The closing of the purchase and sale of the shares of Common Stock hereunder (the “Closing”) shall take place at the office of Law Office of Benjamin S. Brauser, P.A., 4400 Biscayne Blvd, Suite 850 Miami, Florida 33137, or such other place as determined by the Company.  The Closing shall take place on a Business Day promptly following the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8 below, as determined by the Company (the “Closing Date”). “Business Day” shall mean from the hours of 9:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) through 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) of a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York, New York are authorized or required to be closed. The shares of Common Stock purchased by the Subscriber will be delivered by the Company promptly following the Closing.

(c)           Following Acceptance or Rejection.  The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement and any other documents delivered in connection herewith will be held by the Company. In the event that this 

 

  

1

  

Agreement is not accepted by the Company for whatever reason, which the Company expressly reserves the right to do, this Agreement, the Aggregate Purchase Price received (without interest thereon) and any other documents delivered in connection herewith will be returned to the Subscriber at the address of the Subscriber as set forth in this Agreement. If this Agreement is accepted by the Company, the Company is entitled to treat the Aggregate Purchase Price received as an interest free loan to the Company until such time as the Subscription is accepted.

 

(d)           Favored Nation Provision.  Other than in connection with (i) full or partial consideration in connection with a strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of a corporation or other entity which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights equal to or greater than those granted to the Subscriber, (ii) the Company’s issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and which holders of such securities are not at any time granted registration rights equal to or greater than those granted to the Subscriber, (iii) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock to employees, directors, and consultants, pursuant to plans that shall have been approved by a majority of the board of directors, (iv) securities issuable upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement on the terms in effect on the Closing Date including the permissible amendment thereof after the Closing Date, (v) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock to employees, directors, consultants and service providers and (vi) any and all securities required to be assumed by the Company by the terms thereof as a result of any of the foregoing even if issued by a predecessor acquired in connection with a business combination, merger or share exchange (collectively, the foregoing (i) through (vi) are “Excepted Issuances”), if at any time within eighteen (18) months from the date hereof, the Company shall agree to or issue (the “Lower Price Issuance”) any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding) to any person or entity at a price per share or conversion or exercise price per share which shall be less than the price per share of Common Stock hereunder in effect at such time, without the consent of the Subscriber, then the Company shall issue to the Subscriber such additional number of shares of Common Stock such that the Subscriber shall own an aggregate total number of shares of Common Stock as if the Subscriber had purchased the shares hereunder at the Lower Price Issuance.  Common Stock issued or issuable by the Company for no consideration or for consideration that cannot be determined at the time of issue will be deemed issuable or to have been issued for $0.0001 per share of Common Stock.  The rights of the Subscriber set forth in this Section 2 are in addition to any other rights the Subscriber has pursuant to this Agreement, and any other agreement referred to or entered into in connection herewith or to which Subscriber and Company are parties.  Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other agreement to the contrary, the Company shall only be required to make a single adjustment with respect to any Lower Price Issuance, regardless of the existence of multiple basis therefore

 

(e)           Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock.  In the event that the Company shall (i) issue additional shares of Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock or (iii) combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Purchase Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Purchase Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Purchase Price then in effect. The Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein. The number of shares of Common Stock that the Subscriber shall thereafter be entitled to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (i) the numerator is the Purchase Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section) be in effect, and (ii) the denominator is the Purchase Price in effect on the date of such exercise.

 

(f)           Certificate as to Adjustments.  In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Executive Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (i) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or other securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities) outstanding or deemed to be 

 

  

2

  

outstanding and (iii) the Purchase Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided herein. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the Subscriber.

 

3.RISKS RELATING TO THE ORGANIZATION AND COMMON STOCK OF THE COMPANY

 

The Company is subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive and may divert resources from other projects, thus impairing its ability to grow.

 

The Company is a public reporting company and, accordingly, is subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and other federal securities laws, including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”).  The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and furnishing audited reports to stockholders will cause its expenses to be higher than they would have been if the Company were privately held.

If the Company fails to maintain an effective system of internal control, it may not be able to report its financial results accurately or to prevent fraud. Any inability to report and file its financial results accurately and timely could harm its reputation and adversely impact the trading price of the Common Stock.

 

It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for the Company to implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. It may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures. Effective internal control is necessary for the Company to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. If it cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, the Company may not be able to manage its business as effectively as it would if an effective control environment existed, and its business and reputation with investors may be harmed.

 

Public company compliance may make it more difficult for the Company to attract and retain officers and directors.

 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. These new rules and regulations may increase the Company’s compliance costs and to make certain activities more time consuming and costly. These new rules and regulations may make it more difficult and expensive for the Company to obtain director and officer liability insurance in the future and it may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for the Company to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on its Board of Directors or as executive officers. 

The price of the Common Stock may be volatile.

 

The market price of the Common Stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, including the following:

 

	  	
·

	
ability to obtain working capital financing;

 

	  	
·

	
additions or departures of key personnel;

 

	  	
·

	
limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on the market price for the Common Stock;

 

	  	
·

	
sales of the Common Stock;

 

	  	
·

	
The Company’s ability to execute its business plan;

 

	  	
·

	
operating results that fall below expectations;

 

	  	
·

	
loss of any strategic relationship;

 

  

3

  

	  	
·

	
economic and other external factors; and

 

	  	
·

	
period-to-period fluctuations in the Company’s financial results.

 

In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock.

 

The Company has not paid dividends in the past and may not pay dividends in the future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of the Common Stock.

 

The Company has never paid cash dividends on the Common Stock and does not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on the Common Stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting the Company at such time as the Board of Directors may consider relevant. If the Company does not pay dividends, the Common Stock may be less valuable because a return on the Subscriber’s investment will only occur if the Common Stock price appreciates.

 

There is currently no liquid trading market for the Common Stock and the Company cannot ensure that one will ever develop or be sustained.

 

To date there has been no liquid trading market for the Common Stock. The Company cannot predict how liquid the market for the Common Stock might become. As soon as is practicable, the Company anticipates applying for listing of the Common Stock on either the NYSE Amex Equities, The Nasdaq OMX or other national securities exchange, assuming that it can satisfy the initial listing standards for such exchange. It currently does not satisfy the initial listing standards, and cannot ensure that it will be able to satisfy such listing standards or that the Common Stock will be accepted for listing on any such exchange. Should it fail to satisfy the initial listing standards of such exchanges, or the Common Stock is otherwise rejected for listing and remains quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, is suspended from the OTC Bulletin Board, or trades on the Pink Sheets, the trading price of the Common Stock could suffer and the trading market for the Common Stock may be less liquid and the Common Stock price may be subject to increased volatility.

 

Furthermore, for companies whose securities are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or the Pink Sheets, it is more difficult (1) to obtain accurate quotations, (2) to obtain coverage for significant news events because major wire services generally do not publish press releases about such companies and (3) to obtain needed capital.

 

The Common Stock may be deemed a “penny stock,” which would make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares.

 

The Common Stock may be subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules generally apply to companies whose common stock is not listed on The Nasdaq OMX or other national securities exchange and trades at less than $5.00 per share, other than companies that have had average revenue of at least $6,000,000 for the last three years or that have tangible net worth of at least $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If the Company remains subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for its securities. If the Company’s securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of its securities.

 

 Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of the Common Stock may cause the price of the Common Stock to decline.

 

If the Company’s stockholders sell substantial amounts of the Common Stock in the public market, including shares issued in this Offering upon the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (as defined below), or 

 

  

4

  

upon the expiration of any statutory holding period under Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or issued upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” and in anticipation of which the market price of the Common Stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make more difficult the Company’s ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that it deems reasonable or appropriate.

The Company may apply the proceeds of the Offering to uses that ultimately do not improve its operating results or increase the price of its common stock.

 

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes including acquisitions, growth initiatives and capital expenditures.  Prior to April 2011, and for the past approximately twelve (12) months, the Company was principally engaged in the business of entertainment, internet and media with its acquisitions of Superdraft and Rootzoo, which businesses are presently inactive, discontinued or have been disposed of.  Operating under the name EClips Media Technologies, Inc. until April 25, 2011 (previously EClips Energy Technologies, Inc.), when the effectiveness of the change of name to the present company name takes effect, the Company has failed to generate any significant results of operations or business activities.  The Company intends to utilize the proceeds from the Offering to change its business and pursue resource related acquisitions, initially involving silver exploration and development, and dispose of or suspend its historical businesses. The Company and its management have no experience in resources, mining or the operation of such businesses, and anticipate adding additional experienced management from its acquisitions to assist the Company and in pursuing its new line of activity.  However, the Company does not have more specific plans for the net proceeds from the Offering.  Moreover, its management has broad discretion in how it actually uses these proceeds.  These proceeds could be applied in ways that do not ultimately improve its operating results or otherwise increase the value of the Common Stock.  Additional information about the Company’s prior activities can be found at http://sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&CIK=0001058307&owner=exclude&count=40 for Eclips Media Technologies, Inc. and predecessors, including additional risk factors related to the Company:  www.sec.gov.

 

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and sole director beneficially owns 100% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which enables him to influence many significant corporate actions and in certain circumstances may prevent a change in control that would otherwise be beneficial to the Company’s stockholders.

 

Glenn Kesner beneficially owns 100% of the outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, which has a 500:1 voting right with the Common Stock. As such, he has a substantial impact on matters requiring the vote of the stockholders, including the election of the Company’s board of directors and most of its corporate actions. This control could delay, defer, or prevent others from initiating a potential merger, takeover or other change in the Company’s control, even if these actions would benefit the Company’s stockholders and the Company. This control could adversely affect the voting and other rights of the Company’s other stockholders and could depress the market price of the Common Stock.

Investor Relations and Shareholder Awareness Campaigns and activities, nominal “float” and supply and demand factors that may affect the price of our stock.

 

The Company expects to utilize various techniques such as non-deal road shows and investor relations campaigns in order to create investor awareness for the Company.  These campaigns may include personal, video and telephone conferences with investors and prospective investors in which our business practices are described.  The Company may provide compensation to investor relations firms and pay for newsletters, websites, mailings and email campaigns that are produced by third-parties based upon publicly-available information concerning the Company.  The Company will not be responsible for the content of analyst reports and other writings and communications by investor relations firms not authored by the Company or from publicly available information.  The Company does not intend to review or approve the content of such analysts’ reports or other materials based upon analysts’ own research or methods.  Investor relations firms should generally disclose when they are compensated for their efforts, but whether such disclosure is made or complete is not under our control.   In addition, investors in the Company may, from time to time, also take steps to encourage investor awareness through similar activities that may be undertaken at the expense of the investors.  Investor awareness activities may also be suspended or discontinued which may impact the trading market our common stock.

  

  

5

  

 The SEC and FINRA enforce various statutes and regulations intended to prevent manipulative or deceptive devices in connection with the purchase or sale of any security and carefully scrutinize trading patterns and company news and other communications for false or misleading information, particularly in cases where the hallmarks of “pump and dump” activities may exist, such as rapid share price increases or decreases.  We, and our shareholders may be subjected to enhanced regulatory scrutiny due to the small number of holders who initially will own the registered shares of our common stock publicly available for resale, and the limited trading markets in which such shares may be offered or sold which have often been associated with improper activities concerning penny-stocks, such as the OTC Bulletin Board or the OTCQB Marketplace (Pink OTC) or pink sheets.  Until such time as the common stock sold in the Offering is registered and until such time as our restricted shares are registered or available for resale under Rule 144, there will continue to be a small percentage of shares held by a small number of investors, many of whom acquired such shares in privately negotiated purchase and sale transactions, that will constitute the entire available trading market.  The Supreme Court has stated that manipulative action is a term of art connoting intentional or willful conduct designed to deceive or defraud investors by controlling or artificially affecting the price of securities.  Often times, manipulation is associated by regulators with forces that upset the supply and demand factors that would normally determine trading prices.  Since a small percentage of the outstanding common stock of the Company will initially be available for trading, held by a small number of individuals or entities, the supply of our common stock for sale will be extremely limited for an indeterminate amount of time, which could result in higher bids, asks or sales prices than would otherwise exist.  Securities regulators have often cited factors such as thinly-traded markets, small numbers of holders, and awareness campaigns as hallmarks  of claims of price manipulation and other violations of law when combined with manipulative trading, such as wash sales, matched orders or other manipulative trading timed to coincide with false or touting press releases.  There can be no assurance that the Company’s or third-parties’ activities, or the small number of potential sellers or small percentage of stock in the “float,” or determinations by purchasers or holders as to when or under what circumstances or at what prices they may be willing to buy or sell stock will not artificially impact (or would be claimed by regulators to have affected) the normal supply and demand factors that determine the price of the stock.

 

4.           THE SUBSCRIBER’S REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

 

The Subscriber hereby acknowledges, agrees with and represents, warrants and covenants to the Company, as follows:

In furtherance thereof, the Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company and its affiliates as follows:

 

(i)           The Subscriber realizes that the basis for the exemption from registration may not be available if, notwithstanding the Subscriber’s representations contained herein, the Subscriber is merely acquiring the Securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise. The Subscriber does not have any such intention.

 

(ii)           The Subscriber realizes that the basis for exemption would not be available if the Offering is part of a plan or scheme to evade registration provisions of the Securities Act or any applicable state or federal securities laws.

 

(iii)           The Subscriber is acquiring the shares of Common Stock solely for the Subscriber’s own beneficial account, for investment purposes, and not with a view towards, or resale in connection with, any distribution of the Securities.

 

  

6

  

(iv)           The Subscriber has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of the Subscriber’s investment, has adequate means for providing for its current needs and contingencies, and has no need for liquidity with respect to an investment in the Company.

 

(v)           The Subscriber and the Subscriber’s attorney, accountant, purchaser representative and/or tax advisor, if any (collectively, the “Advisors”) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of a prospective investment in the Common Stock. If other than an individual, the Subscriber also represents it has not been organized solely for the purpose of acquiring the Common Stock.

The Subscriber has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only its Advisors. Each Advisor, if any, has disclosed to the Subscriber in writing (a copy of which is annexed to this Agreement) the specific details of any and all past, present or future relationships, actual or contemplated, between the Advisor and the Company or any affiliate or sub-agent thereof.

 

(d)           The Subscriber has carefully considered the potential risks relating to the Company and a purchase of the shares of Common Stock, and fully understands that the shares of Common Stock are a speculative investment that involves a high degree of risk of loss of the Subscriber’s entire investment.

 

(e)           The Subscriber will not sell or otherwise transfer any shares of Common Stock without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and fully understands and agrees that the Subscriber must bear the economic risk of its purchase because, among other reasons, the shares of Common Stock have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under the applicable securities laws of such states, or an exemption from such registration is available.  In particular, the Subscriber is aware that the shares of Common Stock are “restricted securities,” as such term is defined in Rule 144, and they may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 unless all of the conditions of Rule 144 are met. The Subscriber also understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the shares of Common Stock on behalf of the Subscriber or to assist the Subscriber in complying with any exemption from registration under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. The Subscriber understands that any sales or transfers of shares of Common Stock purchased under this Agreement are further restricted by state securities laws and the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(f)           No oral or written representations or warranties have been made, or information furnished, to the Subscriber or its Advisors, if any, by the Company or any of its officers, employees, agents, sub-agents, affiliates, advisors or subsidiaries in connection with the Offering, other than any representations of the Company contained herein, and in subscribing for the shares of Common Stock, the Subscriber is not relying upon any representations other than those contained herein.

 

(g)           The Subscriber’s overall commitment to investments that are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the Subscriber’s net worth, and an investment in the Common Stock will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.

 

(h)           The Subscriber understands and agrees that the certificates for the shares of Common Stock shall bear substantially the following legend until (i) such Securities shall have been registered under the Securities Act and effectively disposed of in accordance with a registration statement that has been declared effective or (ii) in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such shares of Common Stock may be sold without registration under the Securities Act, as well as any applicable “blue sky” or state securities laws:

IN ADDITION, HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT.

(k)           The Subscriber is unaware of, is in no way relying on, and did not become aware of, the Offering through or as a result of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising, including, without limitation, any article, notice, advertisement or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or electronic mail over the Internet, in connection with the Offering and is not subscribing for shares of Common Stock and did not become aware of the Offering through or as a result of any seminar or meeting to which the Subscriber was invited by, or any solicitation of a subscription by, a person not previously known to the Subscriber in connection with investments in securities generally.

(m)           The Subscriber is not relying on the Company or any of its employees, agents, or advisors with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations of an investment in the shares of Common Stock, and the Subscriber has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only its own Advisors.

 

(n)           The Subscriber acknowledges that any estimates or forward-looking statements or projections furnished by the Company to the Subscriber were prepared by the management of the Company in good faith, but that the attainment of any such projections, estimates or forward-looking statements cannot be guaranteed by the Company or its management and should not be relied upon.

(o)           No oral or written representations have been made, or oral or written information furnished, to the Subscriber or its Advisors, if any, in connection with the Offering that are in any way inconsistent with the information contained herein.

 

(p)           (For ERISA plans only) The fiduciary of the ERISA plan (the “Plan”) represents that such fiduciary has been informed of and understands the Company’s investment objectives, policies and strategies, and that the decision to invest “plan assets” (as such term is defined in ERISA) in the Company is consistent with the provisions of ERISA that require diversification of plan assets and impose other fiduciary responsibilities. The Subscriber or Plan fiduciary (i) is responsible for the decision to invest in the Company; (ii) is independent of the Company and any of its affiliates; (iii) is qualified to make such investment decision; and (iv) in making such decision, the Subscriber or Plan fiduciary has not relied primarily on any advice or recommendation of the Company or any of its affiliates.

 

(q)           This Agreement is not enforceable by the Subscriber unless it has been accepted by the Company, and the Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Company reserves the right to reject any subscription for any reason.

 

(r)           The Subscriber will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and, where applicable, its directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, affiliates and shareholders, and each other person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing from and against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all fees, costs and expenses whatsoever reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim, lawsuit, administrative proceeding or investigation whether commenced or threatened) (a “Loss”) arising out of or based upon any representation or warranty of the Subscriber contained herein or in any document furnished by the Subscriber to the Company in connection herewith being untrue in any material respect or any breach or failure by the Subscriber to comply with any covenant or agreement made by the Subscriber herein or therein; provided, however, that the Subscriber shall not be liable for any Loss that in the aggregate exceeds the Subscriber’s Aggregate Purchase Price tendered hereunder.

 

(s)           The Subscriber is, and on each date on which the Subscriber continues to own restricted securities from the Offering will be, an “Accredited Investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. In general, an “Accredited Investor” is deemed to be an institution with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with his or her spouse.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Subscriber is a Non-U.S. Person (a “Reg S Person”), such Subscriber hereby represents that the representations contained in paragraphs (1) through (7) of this Section 4(s) are true and correct with respect to such Subscriber:

 

(1) (i) the issuance and sale to such Reg S Person of the shares of Common Stock is intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to the provisions of Regulation S; (ii) it is not a “U.S. Person,” as such term is defined in Regulation S, and is not acquiring the shares of Common Stock for the account or benefit of any U.S. Person; and (iii) the offer and sale of the shares of Common Stock has not taken place, and is not taking place, within the United States of America or its territories or possessions.  Such Reg S Person acknowledges that the offer and sale of the shares of Common Stock has taken place, and is taking place in an “offshore transaction,” as such term is defined in Regulation S.

 

(2) Such Reg S Person acknowledges and agrees that, pursuant to the provisions of Regulation S, the shares of Common Stock cannot be sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed, pledged or otherwise disposed of to any U.S. Person or within the United States of America or its territories or possessions for a period of one year from and after the Closing Date, unless such shares of Common Stock are registered for sale in the United States pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or another exemption from such registration is available.  Such Reg S Person acknowledges that it has not engaged in any hedging transactions with regard to the shares of Common Stock.

 

(3) Such Reg S Person consents to the placement of a legend on any certificate, note or other document evidencing the Common Stock and understands that the Company shall be required to refuse to register any transfer of securities not made in accordance with applicable U.S. securities laws.

 

  

9

  

(4) Such Reg S Person is not a “distributor” of securities, as that term is defined in Regulation S, nor a dealer in securities.

 

(5) Such Reg S Person understands that the shares of Common Stock have not been registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state and are subject to substantial restrictions on resale or transfer.  The shares of Common Stock are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Regulation S and Rule 144.

 

(6) Such Reg S Person acknowledges that the shares of Common Stock may only be sold offshore in compliance with Regulation S or pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or another exemption from such registration, if available.  In connection with any resale of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to Regulation S, the Company will not register a transfer not made in accordance with Regulation S, pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or in accordance with another exemption from the Securities Act.

 

(7) Such Reg S Person makes the representations, declarations and warranties as contained in this Section 4(s) (1)-(7) with the intent that the same shall be relied upon by the Company in determining its suitability as a purchaser of such shares of Common Stock.

 

(t)           The Subscriber, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Offering, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. The Subscriber has not authorized any person or entity to act as its Purchaser Representative (as that term is defined in Regulation D of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act) in connection with the Offering. The Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Common Stock and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

 

(u)           The Subscriber has reviewed, or had an opportunity to review, all of the SEC Filings.

The SEC Filings, when they were filed with the SEC (or, if any amendment with respect to any such document was filed, when such amendment was filed), complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and did not, as of such date, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. All reports and statements required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act have been filed, together with all exhibits required to be filed therewith.

The Company further represents to the Subscriber that the Company’s decision to enter into this Agreement has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its representatives.

 

(f)           The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Subscriber and, where applicable, its directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and shareholders, from and against any and all Loss arising out of or based upon any representation or warranty of the Company contained herein or in any document furnished by the Company to the Subscriber in connection herewith being untrue in any material respect or any breach or failure by the Company to comply with any covenant or agreement made by the Company to the Subscriber in connection therewith; provided, however, that the Company’s liability shall not exceed the Subscriber’s Aggregate Purchase Price tendered hereunder.

 

6.           USE OF PROCEEDS
