WHEREAS, on August 12, 2013 (the “Distribution Date”) Issuer distributed to Purchaser and other shareholders of Issuer this Agreement and a written notice (the “Pre-Emptive Right Notice”) from Issuer describing the Series A Preferred Stock Offering, by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid); and

 

WHEREAS, Issuer wishes to sell, and Purchaser wishes to purchase, 113 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of Issuer on the terms and conditions set forth herein, as determined pursuant to the Pre-Emptive Right Notice (the “Issued Shares”).

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

(i)                                     In the event that Purchaser fails to fund its Capital Contribution on the applicable Closing Date, Purchaser shall be required to deliver to Issuer, without any payment or other consideration being required to be paid by Issuer, on or before the tenth day following receipt of a Default Notice, fifty percent (50%), by number, of the Issued Shares theretofore purchased by Purchaser under this Agreement (each such security duly endorsed and in proper form for transfer and free and clear of any and all charges, claims, conditions, encumbrances, equitable interests, liens, mortgages, options, pledges, rights of first refusal, security interests or restrictions of any kind (except as set forth in the legend required to be imprinted on certificates representing the Issued Shares)), as adjusted in respect of any stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, reclassification, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other reorganization or exchange occurring after the issuance thereof (the “Forfeited Securities”); provided, however, Issuer shall deliver written notice to Purchaser following the applicable Additional Tranche Closing Date, which notice shall (I) state that Purchaser has defaulted under this Agreement and (II) specify the Forfeited Securities required to be delivered to Issuer by Purchaser (the “Default Notice”).

(j)                                    Issuer’s obligation to issue and sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser’s obligation to purchase from Issuer, any Issued Shares that have not been purchased by Purchaser during the 190-day period commencing on the date on which Purchaser received the Pre-Emptive Right Notice shall terminate as of the end of such period.

 

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

 

(a)                                 Issuer is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. Issuer has all requisite corporate power and authority to own and lease its assets and properties and to carry on its business as and in the places such assets and properties are now owned or leased and where such business is presently conducted except where the failure to have such power or authority would not have a material adverse effect on Issuer.

(c)                                  Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (i) violate any law or other restriction of any governmental entity to which Issuer is subject (except for any such violation that would not have a material adverse effect on Issuer) or any provision of such Issuer’s articles of incorporation or bylaws, or (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a default under, result in the acceleration of, create in any Person the right to accelerate, terminate, modify, or cancel, or require any notice under, any agreement, contract, lease, license, instrument, or other arrangement to which Issuer is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of its assets is subject, except as would not have a material adverse effect on Issuer. Assuming the accuracy of the representations made by Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, Issuer is not required to give any notice to, make any filing with or obtain any authorization, consent or approval of any governmental entity in order for the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, except as may be necessary as a result of any facts or circumstances relating solely to Purchaser or as would not have a material adverse effect on Issuer or its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d)                                 The capitalization of Issuer consists of 15,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), and 5,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which 150,000 shares have been designated Series A Preferred Stock. As of the Distribution Date, 11,270,196 shares of Common Stock and 10,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding. As of the Distribution Date, there are outstanding warrants to purchase 309,296 shares of Common Stock, outstanding options to purchase 343,662 shares of Common Stock and an additional 801,879 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to awards under Issuer’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. When issued to Purchaser hereunder, all of the Issued Shares will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Except as set forth in this Section 2(d), there are no (x) shares of capital stock or other equity securities or voting securities of Issuer outstanding, (y) securities of Issuer convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock or other equity securities or voting securities of Issuer outstanding, or (z) other than the Shareholders’ Agreement, the Registration Agreement, the Letter Agreement, and any subscription agreements entered into in connection with the Series A Preferred Stock Offering, outstanding or authorized options, warrants, purchase rights, subscription rights, conversion rights, exchange rights or other contracts or commitments that could require Issuer to issue, sell or otherwise cause to become outstanding any Issued Shares.

 

(e)                                  Issuer is not a party to any contract, agreement or understanding with any Person that would give rise to any claim against Purchaser for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or like payment in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

3.                                      Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Issuer that:

 

(a)                                 Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of California. Purchaser has all requisite corporate power and authority to own and lease its assets and properties and to carry on its business as and in the places such assets and properties are now owned or leased and where such business is presently conducted.

 

(b)                                 Purchaser has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed by Purchaser and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of Purchaser enforceable in accordance with its terms and conditions (except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles).

 

(c)                                  Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (i) violate any law or other restriction of any governmental entity to which Purchaser is subject or any provision of Purchaser’ governing documents, or (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a default under, result in the acceleration of, create in any Person the right to accelerate, terminate, modify, or cancel, or require any notice under any agreement, contract, lease, license, instrument, or other arrangement to which Purchaser is a party or by which it is

 

5

 

bound or to which any of its assets is subject, except as would not have a material adverse effect on Purchaser’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Purchaser is not required to give any notice to, make any filing with or obtain any authorization, consent or approval of any governmental entity in order for the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, except as may be necessary as a result of any facts or circumstances relating solely to either Issuer or Purchaser.

 

(d)                                 Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

(e)                                  Other than as provided in this Agreement, Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that neither Issuer nor any advisor, representative, employee, director, officer or affiliate thereof nor any representative of any of the foregoing has made any representation or warranty, whether express or implied or otherwise, regarding Issuer, its business, assets, financial condition, operations or forecasted performance. Purchaser acknowledges that Issuer and its affiliates may now or at any other time have material confidential information concerning the business and condition (financial or otherwise) of Issuer or that could affect the value of the Issued Shares and that this information has not been, and may not be in the future, made available to Purchaser. Purchaser understands the disadvantage to which it may be subject on account of the disparity of information as among the Parties and has determined to enter into the transaction contemplated by this Agreement notwithstanding its lack of knowledge of any such material confidential information not disclosed to or known by Purchaser. Purchaser hereby releases and forever discharges Issuer and its affiliates, their respective officers, directors, partners, employees and agents, and their respective successors and assigns, from any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, expenses or liabilities, of any nature whatsoever, arising from or connected to any failure to disclose to Purchaser any information concerning Issuer, provided that such release shall not apply in the case of fraud or willful misconduct. Purchaser understands and agrees that the issuance of the Issued Shares to Purchaser hereunder is conditioned on the foregoing acknowledgements and release.

 

(f)                                   Purchaser has such knowledge, experience and skill in evaluating and investing in securities, based on actual participation in financial, investment and business matters, so that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Issued Shares and has such knowledge, experience and skill in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in Issuer and the suitability of the Issued Shares as an investment and can bear the economic risk of an investment in the Issued Shares. No guarantees have been made or can be made with respect to the future value, if any, of the Issued Shares, or the profitability or success of Issuer’s business.

 

(g)                                  Purchaser is an Eligible Shareholder.

 

(h)                                 Purchaser has made an independent decision to purchase the Issued Shares from Issuer based on the information concerning the business and condition (financial or otherwise) of Issuer available to Purchaser, which it has determined is adequate for that

 

6

 

purpose. Purchaser acknowledges that it has had access to all information regarding the business and condition (financial or otherwise) of Issuer, including pursuant to any rights it may have under the Shareholders’ Agreement, that it reasonably considers important in making its decision to purchase the Issued Shares, and that it has had ample opportunity to ask questions of the appropriate persons concerning such matters. In this regard, Purchaser acknowledges that it has had a preexisting business relationship with Issuer of a nature and duration sufficient to make it aware of the business and condition (financial or otherwise) of Issuer. Purchaser acknowledges that Issuer has not given any investment advice or rendered any opinion to Purchaser as to whether the purchase of the Issued Shares is prudent or suitable.

 

(i)                                     Purchaser is acquiring the Issued Shares for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, with the present intention of holding such securities for purposes of investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution of any part thereof, and Purchaser has no intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing such securities in violation of the federal securities laws or any applicable state securities laws.

 

(j)                                    Purchaser is not acquiring the Issued Shares pursuant to any general solicitation or general advertising.

 

(k)                                 Purchaser understands that the Issued Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. Purchaser understands that the Issued Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, Purchaser must hold the Issued 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 Issuer has no obligation to register or qualify the Issued 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 Issued Shares, and on requirements relating to Issuer which are outside of Purchaser’s control, and which Issuer is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy. Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for the Issued Shares, and that Issuer has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Issued Shares.

 

(l)                                     Each certificate or instrument representing the Issued Shares, if certificates representing such Issued Shares are issued, shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
