3.5 The BCSI shares.

 

The Seller understands that the BCSI shares have not been, and it is not anticipated that the same will be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "'33 Act"), nor pursuant to the provisions of the securities or other laws of any other applicable jurisdictions, in reliance upon the exemption for private offerings contained in Section 4(2) of the '33 Act, Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and the laws of such jurisdictions. The Seller is fully aware that the BCSI Shares are to be issued to it in reliance upon such exemptions based upon its representations, warranties and agreements. The Seller is fully aware of the restrictions on sale, transferability and assignment of the Shares, that
BCSI has not agreed to qualify these for sale, and that the Seller must therefore bear the economic risk of his investment in the Company for an indefinite period of time because the Shares have not been registered under the '33 Act and, therefore, cannot be offered or sold unless they are subsequently registered under the '33 Act or an exemption from such registration is available.

 

The Seller represents that the BCSI Shares are being acquired by it for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution of stock within the meaning of the '33 Act. By such representation, the Seller means “that I am acquiring the BCSI shares for my own account for investment and that no one else has any beneficial ownership in the BCSI shares, nor are they subject to any pledge or lien”. Further, Seller understands that the BCSI Shares will not be registered under the Act by reason of a specific exemption provided therein, the availability of which depends upon the bona fide nature of its investment’s intent as expressed herein. The Seller recognizes that the
BCSI Shares are being issued to it in reliance upon these representations. Accordingly, until the BCSI shares are registered under the '33 Act, they must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the '33 Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Seller further understands that any routine sales of the Shares made in reliance upon Rule 144 can be made only in limited amounts in accordance with the terms and conditions of that Rule, and in the event that Rule 144 is not applicable or is unavailable for any reason, Registration under the Act or compliance with Regulation A or some other exemption will be required.

 

Before it makes any disposition of any of the BCSI shares, whether by sale, gift, pledge, charitable donation or otherwise, the Seller agrees to give to BCSI written notice describing briefly the manner of such proposed disposition. No such disposition shall be made unless and until the BCSI shares have been registered under the Act, or such proposed disposition does not require Registration under the Act by reason of a specific exemption contained therein. In the event that the Seller proposes to dispose of any portion of the BCSI shares pursuant to such an exemption, it must furnish to BCSI an opinion of counsel stating specifically which exemption from Registration under the Act is claimed and that such
exemption is available for the proposed transaction under the circumstances, and BCSI shall have advised the transfer agent for its common stock that such counsel and such opinion are satisfactory to it.

 

The Seller agrees that until such time as the BCSI shares are qualified for sale, each certificate representing any of such shares shall bear on its face a legend in substantially the following form:

 

  

Page 7 of 12

  

 

LICENSE AGREEMENT

BIO-CARBON SOLUTIONS INTERNATIONAL INC

 1776729 ONTARIO CORPORATION

 

"These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. They have been acquired for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof. They may not be sold or transferred in the absence of an effective Registration Statement under that Act without an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that such Registration is not required."

 

3.6 Anti-Money Laundering. The Seller represents and covenants that neither it nor any person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with her, nor any person having a beneficial interest in her, is an individual or organization, or entity listed on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (the “OFAC Control List”) maintained by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) and that it is not acquiring the BCSI Shares and will not acquire any BCSI Shares on behalf of or for the benefit of any individual, organization or entity listed on the OFAC Control List. A copy of the OFAC Control List may be viewed at

http://www.treasury.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/sdn/t11sdn.pdf

 

3.6 Legality of Funds. The Buyer represents that:

(a) the Purchase Price nor any part thereof was not and is not directly or indirectly derived from any activities that contravene U.S. federal or state laws and regulations or any international laws and regulations, including but not limited to anti-money laundering laws and regulations, and

(b) when and if the Buyer liquidates its interest in the 1776729 shares, that the proceeds of such sale will not be used to finance any illegal activities.

 

3.7 PATRIOT Act Compliance. If the Buyer is an entity that invests on behalf of others, the Buyer , in addition to and not by way of limiting any of the forgoing, represents and certifies that it is aware of the requirements of the PATRIOT Act of 2001 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and other applicable anti-money laundering measures in any jurisdiction (collectively the “AML Rules”), and that it has adopted anti-money laundering policies and procedures reasonably designed to verify the identity of its beneficial owners or underlying investors, as the case may be, and their respective sources of funds. Such policies and procedures are properly enforced, and are consistent with
such AML rules.

 

The Buyer further warrants and certifies that, to the best of its knowledge, its beneficial owners or investors, as the case may be, are not individuals, entities or countries that may subject the Company or any of its affiliates to criminal or civil violations of any AML Rules. The Buyer further acknowledges that it is to furnish a copy of its anti-money laundering policies and procedures to the Company when requested.

 

Among its other obligations, the Buyer agrees to promptly notify the Company if any of the foregoing representations and certifications become inaccurate at any future time.

(a) it is not a Senior Foreign Political Figure (“SFPF”), a member of the immediate family of any SFPF, a and/or any Close Associate of any SFPF residing in a non-cooperative country or territory or jurisdiction that has been designated by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury as warranting special measures due to primary anti-money laundering concerns; and

(b) it is not an SFPF residing in a non-0cooperative country or territory or a jurisdiction that has been designated by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury as warranting special measures due to primary anti-money laundering concerns; ad

(d) it is not a Foreign Shell Bank (“FSB”) as that term is defined in the USA PATRIOT Act; and

(e) the Purchase Price did not originate from, nor will it be routed through, an account maintained at an FSB, or a bank organized or chartered under the laws of a jurisdiction deemed to be a non-cooperative country or territory (“NCCT”).

 

The Buyer understands the meaning and legal consequences of all of the foregoing representations and warranties, which are true and correct as of the date hereof, and will be true and correct as of the Closing Date. Each such representation and warranty shall survive the Closing Date.

 

3.8 Brokers, Finders. Buyer has not incurred any obligation for any finder’s or broker’s or agent’s fees or commissions or similar compensation in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
