ARTICLE 4

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF INVESTORS

The Investor represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

4.1 Investment Intent. The Investor is acquiring the Shares for investment for the Investor’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, and that the Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. The Investor further represents that it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person or entity to sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or entity or to any third person or entity with respect to any of the Shares.

4.2 Investment Experience. The Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so that the Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Investor’s investment in the Company.

4.3 Access to Data. The Investor has had an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the officers of the Company concerning this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, the exhibits and schedules attached hereto and thereto and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, as well as the Company’s business, properties, management and financial affairs. The Investor believes that it has received all the information the Investor considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Shares. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Company in Article 3 of this Agreement or the right of the Investor to rely thereon.

4.4 Accredited Investor. The Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501(a), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act.

4.5 Restricted Securities. The Investor understands that the Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws, by reason of specific exemptions from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and state securities laws which depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Investor’s representations as expressed herein. The Investor understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Investor must hold the Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. The Investor further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Shares, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Investor’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.

4.6 No Public Market. The Investor understands and acknowledges that no public market now exists for any of the securities issued by the Company and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Company’s securities.

4.7 Authorization.

(a) The Investor has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (to which the Investor is a party), to purchase the Shares hereunder and to carry out and perform the Investor’s obligations hereunder and thereunder. All action on the part of the Investor necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (to which the Investor is a party), and the performance of all of the Investor’s obligations hereunder and thereunder, has been taken.

(b) This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (to which the Investor is a party), when executed and delivered by the Investor, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Investor, enforceable in accordance with their terms except: (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies or by general principles of equity.

(c) No consent, approval, authorization, order, filing, registration or qualification of or with any court, governmental authority or third person is required to be obtained by the Investor in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (to which the Investor is a party) by the Investor or the performance of the Investor’s obligations hereunder or thereunder.

4.8 Brokers or Finders. The Investor has not incurred, and will not incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of any action taken by the Investor, any liability for brokerage or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions or any similar charges in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

4.9 Legends. The Investor understands and agrees that the certificates evidencing the Shares, or any other securities issued in respect of the Shares upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event, shall bear the following legends:

“THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO AND TRANSFERABLE ONLY UPON COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT AMONG THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THIS CORPORATION AND THE CORPORATION RESTRICTING TRANSFER OF SHARES OF THE CORPORATION. ANY TRANSFER IN VIOLATION OF THAT AGREEMENT IS INVALID. THE AGREEMENT IS BINDING ON ANYONE WHO ACQUIRES SHARES. A COPY OF THE AGREEMENT IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION AT THE OFFICE OF THE CORPORATION.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACT AND/OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”

ARTICLE 5

COVENANTS

5.1 Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the proceeds from the sale of the Shares as follows:

(a) For the Company’s installation of a full commercial scale steam cooled tubular reactor in the Company’s laboratory. The minimum tube length will be 20 feet;

(b) To hire a process engineer to interface with the Investor on projects; and

5.2 Put Option. At any time on or after the fifth anniversary of the date of the issuance of the Shares, if the Company has not paid the Investor a cumulative per share amount in dividends equal to the per share purchase price paid by the Investor for the applicable Shares, then the Investor shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of those Shares (the “Put Option”), in accordance with the following terms.

(a) Number of Shares Subject to Put Option. The number of Shares that are subject to the Put Option will be limited to the number of Shares then-owned by the Investor that have not been converted to Common Stock less a number of Shares determined by dividing (i) the cumulative amount of dividends then paid by the Company to the Investor, by (ii) $7,964.77.

For Example: If (i) the Investor purchased 376.65882 shares of Series A Stock at a purchase price of $7,964.77 per share, (ii) the Company had paid $2,000,000 in dividends to the Investor, and (iii) on or after 5 years the Investor still owned all of the shares and none of the shares had been converted to Common Stock, then the number of shares subject to the Put Option are 125.55302—calculated as follows: 376.65882 minus ($2,000,000 divided by $7,964.77).

(b) Put Option Notice. In order to exercise the Put Option, the Investor shall provide written notice to the Company of such election (the “Put Option Notice”). The Put Option Notice shall include the number of Shares that the Investor is electing to have the Company repurchase under the Put Option. The Investor may only provide one Put Option Notice to the Company per calendar year.

(c) Repurchase Price. The repurchase price (the “Repurchase Price”) shall be equal to the following: The proportion that the number of Shares subject to the Put Option Notice bears to the total number of Preferred Stock and Common Stock then issued and outstanding multiplied by the Company’s enterprise value determined based on an appraisal price determined by a mutually agreed upon independent valuation firm without any discount for minority status or illiquidity of the equity securities of the Company. The cost of the appraisal shall be borne by the Investor.

(d) Closing of Repurchase. The Company and the Investor shall close the repurchase on or before the later to occur of, (i) 90 days after the Company’s receipt of the Put Option Notice or (ii) 60 days after the determination of the appraisal price under Section 5.2(b). On or before the closing, the Company and the Investor shall enter into a mutually acceptable repurchase agreement under which (y) the Company shall pay the Repurchase Price to the Investor in cash, and (z) the Investor shall surrender to the Company the applicable certificates evidencing the Shares being repurchased. If the Company is not able to pay the Repurchase Price in cash to the Investor at the closing of the repurchase, then the closing shall be delayed and the Company shall undertake its best efforts during the 120-day period immediately following the scheduled closing of the purchase so that such amounts may be paid in full in cash. If, notwithstanding such efforts, the Company is unable to repurchase all of the Shares the Investor elected to have the Company repurchase under the Put Option in cash within such 120-day period, the Company will pay the maximum portion of such Repurchase Price to Investor in cash, and shall pay the remaining portion of the Repurchase Price by issuing to the Investor a fully amortizing note with a term to maturity not to exceed one year, accruing interest at an annual rate equal to 12.00% per annum payable in equal monthly payments of principal and interest and with customary terms, conditions, benefits and protections. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 5.2(d) to the contrary, if the Company is not able to pay the Repurchase Price in full in cash either at the scheduled closing or delayed closing, the Investor may rescind the repurchase (or any portion thereof) at the Investor’s sole election. If the Company fails to satisfy its obligations pursuant to this Section 5.2(d), the Investor may pursue any and all rights and remedies at law or in equity.

(e) Termination of Put Option. The Put Option shall terminate upon the earliest of, (i) immediately prior to the closing of a firmly underwritten, public offering by the Company of shares of Common Stock, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (ii) immediately prior to the Company’s closing of a merger, reverse merger or consolidation with another corporation and such surviving entity’s common stock is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (iii) the conversion of any Shares into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock; provided, however, the Put Option shall only terminate as to those Shares converted, (iv) the written consent to such termination by the Investor or (v) 10 years after the execution of this Agreement.
