(a)          The undersigned (“Investor”) hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase shares of Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Basil Street Café, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), at a purchase price of $2.82 per share of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Per Security Price”), rounded down to the nearest whole share based on Investor’s subscription amount, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Subscription”). The minimum subscription is $998.28. SeedInvest Auto Invest participants have a lower investment minimum of $197.40. The purchase price of each Share is payable in the manner provided in Section 2(a) below. The Shares being subscribed for under this Subscription Agreement and the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such Shares are sometimes referred to herein as the “Securities.” The rights and preferences of the Shares are as set forth in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, available in the Exhibits to the Offering Statement of the Company filed with the SEC (the “Offering Statement”).

 

(b)          Investor understands that the Shares are being offered (the “Offering”) pursuant to the Offering Circular dated [●] and its exhibits (the “Offering Circular”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). By subscribing to the Offering, Investor acknowledges that Investor has received a copy of the Offering Statement and any other information required by Investor to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares.

 

(c)          This Subscription may be accepted or rejected in whole or in part by the Company at its sole discretion, subject to the conditions set forth herein. In addition, the Company, at its sole discretion, may allocate to Investor only a portion of the number of the Shares that Investor has subscribed to purchase hereunder. The Company will notify Investor whether this subscription is accepted (whether in whole or in part) or rejected. If Investor’s subscription is rejected, Investor’s payment (or portion thereof if partially rejected) will be returned to Investor without interest and all of Investor’s obligations hereunder shall terminate. Tendered funds will be transmitted promptly to the Escrow Agent (as hereinafter defined), and returned promptly to Investor if the Minimum Offering (as hereinafter defined) is not met prior to the Termination Date.

 

(d)          The aggregate number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock that may be sold by the Company in this Offering shall not exceed 7,092,198 shares (the “Maximum Shares”).

Providing that subscriptions for $1,500,000.00 (the “Minimum Offering”) and all other requirements for a closing are met, the Company may elect at any time to close all or any portion of this Offering on various dates (each a “Closing”).

(e)          In the event of rejection of this subscription in its entirety, or in the event the sale of the Shares (or any portion thereof) to Investor is not consummated for any reason, this Subscription Agreement shall have no force or effect, except for Section 6 hereof, which shall remain in force and effect.

 

(f)          The terms of this Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon Investor and its transferees, heirs, successors and assigns (collectively, “Transferees”); provided that for any such transfer to be deemed effective the proposed Transferee shall have executed and delivered to the Company in advance an instrument, in form acceptable to the Company in its sole discretion, pursuant to which the proposed Transferee agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Subscription Agreement.

5.          Additional Acknowledgments and Covenants.

 

(a)          No Registration. Investor understands that the Shares are not being registered under the Securities Act on the ground that the issuance thereof is exempt under Regulation A of Section 3(b) of the Securities Act, and that reliance on such exemption is predicated in part on the truth and accuracy of Investor’s representations and warranties, and those of the other purchasers of the shares of Series B Preferred in the Offering. Investor further understands that the Shares are not being registered under the securities laws of any states on the basis that the issuance thereof is exempt as an offer and sale not involving a registerable public offering in such state, since the Shares are “covered securities” under the National Securities Market Improvement Act of 1996. Investor covenants not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Shares unless such Shares have been registered under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities laws, or exemptions from such registration requirements are available.

 

(b)          Illiquidity and Continued Economic Risk. Investor acknowledges and agrees that there is no ready public market for the Shares and that there is no guarantee that a market for their resale will ever exist. The Investor further acknowledges and agrees that the Company has no obligation to list any of the Shares on any market or take any steps (including registration under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) with respect to facilitating trading or resale of the Shares, and therefore Investor may be required to bear the economic risk of this investment indefinitely.

 

(c)          Stockholder Information. Within five days after receipt of a request from the Company, Investor hereby agrees to provide such information with respect to its status as a stockholder (or potential stockholder) and to execute and deliver such documents as may reasonably be necessary to comply with any and all laws and regulations to which the Company is or may become subject, including, without limitation, the need to determine the accredited status of the Company’s stockholders. Investor further agrees that in the event it transfers any Securities, it will require the transferee of such Securities to agree to provide such information to the Company as a condition of such transfer.

(d)          Valuation. Investor acknowledges that the price of the shares of Series B Preferred to be sold in this Offering was set by the Company on the basis of the Company’s internal valuation and no warranties are made as to value. Investor further acknowledges that future offerings of securities of the Company may be made at lower valuations, with the result that Investor’s investment will bear a lower valuation.

 

6.          Indemnity. The representations, warranties and covenants made by Investor herein shall survive the Applicable Closing. Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers and directors, and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all reasonable attorneys’ fees, including attorneys’ fees on appeal) resulting directly or indirectly, in whole or in party, from any false representation or warranty, or any breach of or failure by Investor to comply with any covenant or agreement, made by Investor herein or in any other document furnished by Investor to any of the foregoing in connection with this Offering.

 

7.          Information Rights.

(b)          Confidentiality.  Anything in this Subscription Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no Investor by reason of this Subscription Agreement shall have access to any trade secrets or confidential information of the Company.  The Company shall not be required to comply with any information rights of any Investor whom the Company reasonably determines to be a competitor or an officer, employee, director, or holder of two percent (2%) or more of a competitor.  Each Investor shall keep confidential and shall not disclose, divulge, or use for any purpose (other than to monitor its investment in the Company) any confidential information obtained from the Company pursuant to the terms of this Subscription Agreement other than to any of the Investor’s attorneys, accountants, consultants, and other professionals, to the extent necessary to obtain their services in connection with monitoring the Investor’s investment in the Company.

 

8.          Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Subscription Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its conflict of law principles.
