that this subscription is rejected in full for any reason.
4. The undersigned agrees that the Company has the right to reject any
subscription in whole or in part, to accept one subscription over another, and
to allocate available Units among subscribers in any manner that it deems
appropriate. The undersigned hereby irrevocably appoints the Company and each
officer of the Company and each of the foregoing acting singly, in each case
with full power of substitution, the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact
of the undersigned, with full power and authority in the undersigned's name,
place and stead, to amend this Agreement to effect any of the foregoing
provisions of this Paragraph A.4.
B. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
1. The Company hereby represents and warrants as follows:
(a) The Company is a Colorado corporation, duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of that State. The Company is
authorized to issue 75,000,000 shares of stock, of which 25,000,000 are
Preferred Shares, $.001 par value, and 50,000,000 are Common Shares, par
value $.001 per share. The Company has full corporate power and authority
to own, lease or operate its properties and assets and to conduct its
business as currently being conducted.
(b) The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to
enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. The
execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company has been duly and
validly authorized by all necessary corporate action, including the
approval of the Board of Directors, and no other corporate proceedings on
the part of the Company are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been
duly executed and assuming the proper execution and delivery of this
Agreement by the undersigned, constitutes a valid and binding Agreement of
the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as
enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other
similar laws relating to creditors' rights generally, and general
principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a
proceeding at law or in equity). Neither the execution of this Agreement
nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will result in
the violation of any provision of the Company's certificate of
incorporation or bylaws.
(c) The Company has a total of 3,193,904 shares of Common Stock issued
and outstanding (excluding shares underlying options and warrants). No
shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding prior to the contemplated
issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock.
(d) There is no suit, action, claim, investigation or inquiry by any
governmental authority, and no legal, administrative or arbitration
proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against
the Company with respect to the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement or any document delivered or agreement entered into in connection
herewith, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. The
execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will
not contravene or constitute a default under or give rise to a right of
termination, cancellation or acceleration of any right or obligation of the
Company or to a violation of any provision of applicable law or regulation
or of any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree, or other
instrument binding on the Company or result in the imposition of any lien
on any asset of the Company.
2
(e) The designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights of
the Series A Preferred Stock are set forth in Articles of Amendment to the
Articles of Incorporation of the Company in the form attached as Exhibit A
and to be filed with the Colorado Secretary of State immediately prior to
acceptance of this subscription.
(f) The Company has filed a registration statement on Form SB-2 and
Form 8-A with the Securities and Exchange Commission to become a reporting
company, but those registration statements have not been declared
effective. The Company recently filed Amendment No. 3 to its Form SB-2 (the
"Amendment") and expects that both the SB-2 and the 8-A will be declared
effective in the near future. However, there is no assurance that the SEC
will declare either or both registration statement(s) effective. If the
Company does receive an effective date for the registration statements, it
hopes to interest a brokerage firm in the filing of a Form 2-11 with the
NASD in order that one or more firms can commence quotation of the common
stock in the OTC Bulletin Board.
2. The undersigned hereby represents and warrants to the Company as
follows:
(a) The Units are being purchased for the undersigned's own account,
for investment purposes only, not for the account of any other person, and
not with a view to distribution, assignment or resale to others or to
fractionalization in whole or in part. No other person has or will have a
direct or indirect beneficial interest in the undersigned's Units. The
undersigned will not sell, hypothecate or otherwise transfer his Units
unless (a) the Units are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act"), and applicable state securities laws or (b) in the
opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company, an exemption from the
registration requirements of the Act and such state laws is available.
(b) The undersigned, either alone or with the assistance of the
undersigned's own professional advisor, has such knowledge and experience
in financial and business matters that the undersigned is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Units and has the
net worth to undertake such risks.
(c) The undersigned is aware and has evaluated the substantial risks
involved in purchasing the Units, including those factors set forth in the
Amendment. The undersigned hereby acknowledges that it has read the
Amendment, and understands that the Units as an investment involve a high
degree of risk, including but not limited to, the risk of economic loss of
its investment.
3
(d) That the undersigned realizes that (i) the purchase of the Units
is a long-term investment; (ii) the purchaser of the Units must bear the
economic risk of investment for an indefinite period of time because
neither the Units, the Series A Preferred Stock, the Warrants nor the
common stock underlying the Warrants or unto which the Series A Preferred
Stock is convertible (the "Securities") have been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933 or under the securities laws of any state and,
therefore, the securities cannot be resold unless they are subsequently
registered under said laws or exemptions from such registrations are
available; (iii) there is presently no public market for the Units, the
Series A Preferred Stock, the Warrants or the common stock and the
undersigned may be unable to liquidate the undersigned's investment in the
event of an emergency, or pledge the securities as collateral for a loan;
(iv) the transferability of the Securities will be restricted and requires
conformity with the restrictions contained herein; and (v) legends will be
placed on the certificate(s) representing the Securities referring to the
applicable restrictions on transferability.
3. The Company has made available to the undersigned all documents and
information that the undersigned has requested relating to an investment in the
Units. The Company makes no representations or warranties other than those
contained herein.
4. The undersigned believes that he has received all information that it
considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Units.
The undersigned further represents that it has had the opportunity to ask
questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and
conditions of the offering of the Units, the business, prospects and financial
condition of the Company.
5. The undersigned understands that if the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") applies to this investment, that in making the
proposed investment the undersigned is aware of and has taken into consideration
diversification requirements of ERISA and has concluded that the proposed
investment is a prudent one even though no public market for the Units currently
exists.
6. Assuming the due authorization, execution, and delivery of this
Agreement by the Company, this Agreement is the valid and binding Agreement of
the undersigned, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as
enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other
similar laws relating to creditors' rights generally and general principles of
equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in
equity). If this Agreement is being executed in a representative or fiduciary
capacity, the person signing this Agreement has full power and authority to
execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby.
7. The undersigned represents and warrants that the undersigned is a bona
fide resident of, is domiciled in and received the offer and made the decision
to invest in the Units in the State of Florida and the Units are being purchased
by the undersigned in the undersigned's name solely for the undersigned's own
beneficial interest and not as nominee for, or on behalf of, or for the
beneficial interest of, or with the intention to transfer to, any other person,
trust or organization.
