EXHIBIT A

SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) made as of the last date set forth on the signature page hereof between Evolucia Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned (the “Investor”).

 

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Company is conducting a private offering for sale of 8% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) up to a maximum of $10,000,000  on a “best efforts”  basis (the “Offering”).  Each Note in the form attached hereto is convertible, subject to the Company increasing its authorized shares of common stock, at any time at the option of the holder, into shares of  common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”);

 

WHEREAS, the Offering is being offered pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and/or Rule 506 promulgated thereunder;

 

WHEREAS, the Company intends to offer the Notes directly and, may, in its sole discretion, offer a portion of the Notes through placement agents;

 

WHEREAS, the Investor desires to purchase Notes in the principal amount set forth on the signature page hereof on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; and

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual representations and covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

 

	
I.  

	
SUBSCRIPTION FOR NOTES AND REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS BY INVESTOR

 

1.1 Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth and in the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated October 30, 2013 (such memorandum, together with all amendments thereof and supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Memorandum”), the Investor hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company, and the Company agrees to sell to the Investor, such number of Notes as is set forth on the signature page hereof.  The Purchase Price (as defined on the signature page) is payable by check or wire transfer in accordance with the Memorandum.

 

1.2 The Notes will be offered for sale until the earlier of (i) 90 days from the date of the Memorandum (which may be extended for an additional 90 days), (ii) the sale of all of the Notes or (iii) such earlier date as may be determined by the Company (the “Termination Date”).  The Offering is being conducted on a “best efforts” basis.

 

 

  

1

  

 

1.3 There will be no escrow agent in this Offering.  The purchase price will be provided directly to the Company.  All funds received by the Company may be utilized immediately by the Company (the “Closing”). The last Closing of the Offering, occurring on or prior to the Termination Date, shall be referred to as the “Final Closing”.  Any subscription documents or funds received after the Final Closing will be returned, without interest or deduction.

 

1.4 The Investor recognizes that the purchase of the Notes involves a high degree of risk including, but not limited to, the following: (a) the Company has limited operating history and requires substantial funds in addition to the proceeds of the Offering; (b) an investment in the Company is highly speculative, and only investors who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company and the Notes; (c) the Investor may not be able to liquidate its investment; (d) transferability of the Notes and the Conversion Shares is extremely limited; (e) the Investor could sustain the loss of its entire investment; (f) the Company needs to increase its authorized shares of Common Stock to allow for the conversion of the Notes and (g) the Company has not paid any dividends since its inception and does not anticipate paying any dividends.  Without limiting the generality of the representations set forth in below, the Investor represents that the Investor has carefully reviewed the section of the Memorandum captioned “Risk Factors.”

 

1.5 The Investor represents that the Investor is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) promulgated under the Securities Act, as indicated by the Investor’s responses to the questions contained in Article VII hereof, and that the Investor is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Notes.

 

1.6 The Investor hereby acknowledges and represents that (a) the Investor has knowledge and experience in business and financial matters, prior investment experience, including investment in securities that are trading over the counter, or the Investor has employed the services of a “purchaser representative” (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D), attorney and/or accountant to read all of the documents furnished or made available by the Company both to the Investor and to all other prospective investors in the Notes to evaluate the merits and risks of such an investment on the Investor’s behalf; (b) the Investor recognizes the highly speculative nature of this investment; and (c) the Investor is able to bear the economic risk that the Investor hereby assumes.

 

1.7 The Investor hereby acknowledges receipt and careful review of this Agreement, the Memorandum (which includes the Risk Factors) and all other exhibits thereto, and any documents which may have been made available upon request as reflected therein (collectively referred to as the “Offering Materials”) and hereby represents that the Investor has been furnished by the Company during the course of the Offering with all information regarding the Company, the terms and conditions of the Offering and any additional information that the Investor has requested or desired to know, and has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized officers or other representatives of the Company concerning the Company and the terms and conditions of the Offering.

 

1.8 (a)           In making the decision to invest in the Notes the Investor has relied solely upon the information provided by the Company in the Offering Materials.  To the extent necessary, the Investor has retained, at its own expense, and relied upon appropriate professional advice regarding the investment, tax and legal merits and consequences of this Agreement and the purchase of the Notes hereunder.  The Investor disclaims reliance on any statements made or information provided by any person or entity in the course of Investor’s consideration of an investment in the Notes other than the Offering Materials.

 

(b)           The Investor represents that (i) the Investor was contacted regarding the sale of the Notes by the Company (or an authorized agent or representative thereof) with whom the Investor had a prior substantial pre-existing relationship and (ii) no Notes were offered or sold to it by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising, and in connection therewith, the Investor did not (A) receive or review any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in a newspaper or magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, whether closed circuit, or generally available; or (B) attend any seminar meeting or industry investor conference whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

 

  

2

  

 

1.9 The Investor hereby represents that the Investor, either by reason of the Investor’s business or financial experience or the business or financial experience of the Investor’s professional advisors (who are unaffiliated with and not compensated by the Company or any affiliate or selling agent of the Company, directly or indirectly), has the capacity to protect the Investor’s own interests in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby.

 

1.10 The Investor hereby acknowledges that the Offering has not been reviewed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state regulatory authority since the Offering is intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act, pursuant to Regulation D.  The Investor understands that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities or “blue sky” laws and agrees not to sell, pledge, assign or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Notes unless they are registered under the Securities Act and under any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available.

 

1.11 The Investor understands that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a claimed exemption under the provisions of the Securities Act that depends, in part, upon the Investor’s investment intention.  In this connection, the Investor hereby represents that the Investor is purchasing the Notes for the Investor’s own account for investment and not with a view toward the resale or distribution to others.  The Investor, if an entity, further represents that it was not formed for the purpose of purchasing the Notes.

 

1.12 The Investor understands that the Company’s Common Stock is trading on the over-the-counter market and that there is a limited market for the Common Stock.  The Investor understands that even if a public market further develops for the Conversion Shares, Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) promulgated under the Securities Act requires for non-affiliates, among other conditions, a holding period prior to the resale (subject to certain limitations) of securities acquired in a non-public offering without having to satisfy the registration requirements under the Securities Act.  The Investor understands and hereby acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to register any of the Notes or the Conversion Shares under the Securities Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws.

 

1.13 The Investor consents to the placement of a legend on any certificate or other document evidencing the Notes or the Conversion Shares that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws and setting forth or referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale thereof contained in this Agreement.  The Investor is aware that the Company will make a notation in its appropriate records with respect to the restrictions on the transferability of such Securities. The legend to be placed on each certificate shall be in form substantially similar to the following:

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES OR “BLUE SKY LAWS,” AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED ABSENT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER SUCH ACT, OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”

 

1.14 It is agreed that the Company, at its sole discretion, reserves the unrestricted right, without further documentation or agreement on the part of the Investor, to reject or limit any subscription, to accept subscriptions for fractional shares and to close the Offering to the Investor at any time and that the Company will issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent with respect to such Securities.

 

  

3

  

 

1.15 The Investor hereby represents that the address of the Investor furnished by Investor on the signature page hereof is the Investor’s principal residence if Investor is an individual or its principal business address if it is a corporation or other entity.

 

1.16 The Investor represents that the Investor has full power and authority (corporate, statutory and otherwise) to execute and deliver this Agreement and to purchase the Notes.  This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms.

 

1.17 If the Investor is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, employee benefit plan, individual retirement account, Keogh Plan, or other tax-exempt entity, it is authorized and qualified to invest in the Company and the person signing this Agreement on behalf of such entity has been duly authorized by such entity to do so.

 

1.18 The Investor acknowledges that if he or she is a Registered Representative of a FINRA member firm, he or she must give such firm the notice required by the FINRA’s Rules of Fair Practice, receipt of which must be acknowledged by such firm in Section 7.4 below.

 

1.19 The Investor acknowledges that at such time, if ever, as the Securities are registered, sales of the Securities will be subject to state securities laws.

 

1.20 The Investor agrees not to issue any public statement with respect to the Investor’s investment or proposed investment in the Company or the terms of any agreement or covenant between them and the Company without the Company’s prior written consent, except such disclosures as may be required under applicable law or under any applicable order, rule or regulation.

 

1.21 The Investor agrees to hold the Company and its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, controlling persons and agents and their respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns harmless and to indemnify them against all liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by them as a result of (a) any sale or distribution of the Notes by the Investor in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws; or (b) any false representation or warranty or any breach or failure by the Investor to comply with any covenant made by the Investor in this Agreement (including the Confidential Investor Questionnaire contained in Article VII herein) or any other document furnished by the Investor to any of the foregoing in connection with this Agreement.

6.5 NOTWITHSTANDING THE PLACE WHERE THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE EXECUTED BY ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT ALL THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS HEREOF SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA WITHOUT REGARD TO SUCH STATE’S PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW.  IN THE EVENT THAT A JUDICIAL PROCEEDING IS NECESSARY, THE SOLE FORUM FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IS THE COURTS STATE OF FLORIDA IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF SARASOTA OR THE FEDERAL COURTS FOR SUCH STATE AND COUNTY, AND ALL RELATED APPELLATE COURTS, THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENT TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND AGREE TO SAID VENUE.

Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring its investment in the Notes or enforcing its rights under this Agreement.  Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
