THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT made as of the day of , 2023 between FRANKLIN MINING, INC., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Nevada, (the “Company”), and the undersigned (the “Subscriber” and together with each of the other subscribers in the Offering (defined below), the “Subscribers”).
WHEREAS, the Company desires to sell registered Regulation A shares of Common Stock (collectively, the “Shares”), at a purchase price of [*] per Share and per the terms set forth in the Company’s Form 1-A (as amended) which was originally filed on April 17, 2023, and declared Effective by the SEC on [DATE] (the “Offering”).
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:
1.1.Subscription for Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Subscriber hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company such aggregate amount of Shares as is set forth upon the signature page hereof; and the Company agrees to sell such Shares to the Subscriber for said purchase price subject to the Company’s right to sell to the Subscriber such lesser number of Shares as the Company may, in its sole discretion, deem necessary or desirable. The purchase price is payable by wire transfer, or certified or bank checks made payable to “FRANKLIN MINING, INC.” and delivered contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement to the Company’s address set forth in the FORM 1- A.
1.2.Form 1-A Registered Shares. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Shares being purchased herein are shares of Common Stock qualified in the Company’s Form 1-A (as amended) which was originally filed on April [*], 2023.
1.3.Investment Purpose. The Subscriber represents that the Shares (the “Securities”) are being purchased for his or her or its own account, for investment purposes only and not for distribution or resale to others in contravention of the registration requirements of the 1933 Act. The Subscriber agrees that it will not sell or otherwise transfer the Securities unless they are registered under the 1933 Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available.
1.4.Investor Eligibility. Subscriber represents and warrants that either (i) Subscriber is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act, and that it can bear the economic risk of any investment in the Shares; or (ii) Subscriber is not an accredited investor and the funds invested through this Agreement do not exceed 10% of the Subscriber’s annual income or net worth.
1.5.Domicile. Subscriber represents and warrants that his, her, or its Domicile matches the address listed on the signature page of this Agreement. For individuals, Domicile means actual state of residency. For corporate entities, Domicile means (i) state of incorporation/organization; or (ii) principal place of business.
1.6RISK OF INVESTMENT. THE SUBSCRIBER RECOGNIZES THAT THE PURCHASE OF THE SHARES INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL RISKS DISCUSSED IN THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT. AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY AND THE SHARES MAY RESULT IN THE LOSS OF A SUBSCRIBER’S ENTIRE INVESTMENT.
(a)Risk of Loss of Investment. An investment in the Company and the Shares offered hereby involve a high degree of risk. An investment in the Shares is suitable only for investors who can bear a loss of their entire investment.
(b)Value of Shares is Speculative. The terms of this offering have been determined arbitrarily by the Company. There is no relationship between such terms and the Company’s assets, earnings, book value and/or any other objective criteria of value.
(c)Dependence on Net Proceeds; No Minimum Offering. The Company is dependent upon the net proceeds of this Offering to fund its operations, as more specifically described elsewhere in this Subscription Agreement. There is no commitment by any person to purchase Shares and there is no assurance that any number of Shares will be sold. Additionally, there is no minimum amount of funds that are required to be raised in order for the Company to accept subscriptions received from investors and the Company’s may terminate this Offering prior to the expiration of the Offering Period. There is no assurance that the Company will sell a sufficient number of Shares in this Offering on a timely basis or that the net proceeds after payment of debts and other obligations will be adequate for the Company’s needs.
(d)Need for Additional Capital; Additional Private Placement. The net proceeds raised by the Company from this Offering will be used immediately to fund the Company’s current operations. The Company will therefore require significant additional financing shortly after this Offering, regardless of the net proceeds received, in order to satisfy its cash requirements. The Company may seek to raise additional funds in private placement transactions. However, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in a timely manner or on terms that will enable it to enter its proposed business on a reasonable basis.
1.7Information. The Subscriber acknowledges receipt and full and careful review and understanding of this Subscription Agreement and of the Form 1-A (as amended) which was originally filed on April [*], 2023.
1.8No Representations or Warranties. The Subscriber hereby represents that, except as expressly set forth in the Form 1-A, no representations or warranties have been made to the Subscriber by the Company or any agent, employee, or affiliate of the Company and in entering into this transaction the Subscriber is not relying on any information other than that contained in the Form 1-A and the results of independent investigation by the Subscriber.
1.9Tax Consequences. The Subscriber acknowledges that this Offering of the Shares may involve tax consequences and that the contents of the Form 1-A does not contain tax advice or information. The Subscriber acknowledges that it must retain its own professional advisors to evaluate the tax and other consequences of an investment in the Shares.
1.10Transfer or Resale. The Subscriber understands that the Shares purchased herein were qualified in the Form 1-A under the Securities Act of 1933 Act, but that Subscriber will be required by the transfer agent or Subscriber’s brokerage firm to obtain a legal opinion from securities counsel to deposit and sell the Shares.
