A.
|
The Seller is the owner of not less than 679,419 shares of the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Shares" or "Purchased Shares"), of uSell.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"); and
|
B.
|
The Purchaser wishes to purchase, and the Seller wishes to sell, the Purchased Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
|
a.
|
Seller has full power and capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
|
b.
|
Seller's execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement has not resulted and will not result in a conflict, breach or violation of any provision of (i) any statute, law, writ, order, rule or regulation of any governmental authority applicable to Seller; (ii) any judgment, injunction, decree or determination applicable to Seller; or (iii) any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other agreement, document or instrument to which Seller may be a party, by which Seller may be bound or to which any of the assets of Seller is subject.
|
c.
|
(i) This Agreement (A) has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Seller and (B) is the legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms, except that such enforceability against Seller may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar laws of general applicability affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by the court's discretion in relation to equitable remedies; and (ii) no notice to, registration with, consent or approval of or any other action by any relevant governmental authority or other person is, will be, or was required for Seller to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under this Agreement, assuming that the representations and warranties of Purchaser are true and correct.
|
d.
|
Seller is the sole legal and beneficial owner of and has good title to the Purchased Shares, free and clear of any charge, claim, hypothecation, community property interest, pledge, condition, equitable interest, lien (statutory or other), option, security interest, security arrangement, mortgage, easement, encroachment, right of first refusal, or restriction of any kind, including any restriction on use, voting, transfer, receipt of income or exercise of any other attribute of ownership or other adverse claim against title of any kind ("Encumbrance"). The Purchased Shares are not subject to any prior sale, transfer, assignment or participation by Seller or any agreement by Seller to assign, convey, transfer or participate, in whole or in part.
|
e.
|
No proceedings are pending against Seller or to Seller's knowledge, threatened against Seller before any relevant governmental authority that, in the aggregate, will materially and adversely affect (i) the Purchased Shares or (ii) any action taken or to be taken by Seller under this Agreement.
|
f.
|
Seller has not engaged in any acts or conduct or made any omissions that will result in Purchaser receiving proportionately less in payments or distributions under, or less favorable treatment for, the Purchased Shares than is received by other holders holding Shares of the same tranche, class or type as the Purchased Shares.
|
g.
|
No broker, finder or other entity acting under Seller's authority is entitled to any broker's commission or other fee in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for which Purchaser could be responsible.
|
h.
|
Seller acknowledges that the consideration given for the purchase by the Purchaser of the Purchased Shares may differ both in kind and in amount from any payments or distributions which the Purchaser may ultimately receive with respect to the Purchased Shares, and the Seller shall not have any recourse to the Purchaser for any deficiency.
|
i.
|
Seller (i) is a sophisticated seller with respect to the sale of the Purchased Shares, (ii) has adequate information concerning the business and financial condition of the Company to make an informed decision regarding the sale of the Purchased Shares and (iii) has independently and without reliance upon Purchaser, and based on such information as Seller has deemed appropriate, made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Seller acknowledges that Purchaser has not given Seller any investment advice, credit information, or opinion on whether the sale of the Purchased Shares is prudent.
|
j.
|
Seller acknowledges that (i) Purchaser currently may have, and later may come into possession of, information with respect to the Shares, the Company or any of its affiliates that is not known to Seller and that may be material to a decision to sell the Purchased Shares ("Seller Excluded Information"), (ii) Seller has determined to sell the Shares notwithstanding its lack of knowledge of the Seller Excluded Information and (iii) Purchaser shall have no liability to Seller, and Seller waives and releases any claims that it might have against Purchaser whether under applicable securities laws or otherwise, with respect to the nondisclosure of the Seller Excluded Information in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Seller Excluded Information shall not and does not affect the truth or accuracy of Purchaser representations or warranties in this Agreement.
|
k.
|
The Purchased Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), are "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144 under the Act, and may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred in the absence of an effective registration statement with respect to the Purchased Shares or an exemption from the registration requirements under the Act. Seller has not made any offers to sell, or solicitations of any offers to buy, all or any portion of the Purchased Shares in violation of any applicable securities laws.
|
l.
|
Seller is not a party to, or bound by, any document or agreement that could adversely affect the Purchased Shares or Purchaser rights and remedies under this Agreement.
|
m.
|
Seller has not and, to the best of Seller's knowledge, no one acting on its behalf has, taken any action, other than in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which could subject the sale of the Purchased Shares to Section 5 of the Act.
|
n.
|
Seller is fully aware that, with regard to the sale of the Purchased Shares, the Purchaser is relying upon the truth and accuracy of these representations and warranties. No representation or warranty by Seller in this Agreement and no statement contained in this Agreement or any certificate or other document furnished or to be furnished to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading.
|
o.
|
The Purchased Shares transferred to Purchaser hereunder are being delivered pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under the Act in reliance upon the representations and warranties of Purchaser.
|
p.
|
Seller is not a "foreign person" as that term is used in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2. The Company is not, nor has it been, a United States real property holding corporation (as defined in Section 897(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")) during the applicable period specified in Section 897(c)(1)(a) of the Code.
|
q.
|
To Seller's knowledge, there has been no event, occurrence or development that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Company since the date of the Company's last public filing pursuant to the Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as the case may be, and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. "Material Adverse Effect" means any event, occurrence, fact, condition or change that is, or could reasonably be expected to become, individually or in the aggregate, materially adverse to (i) the business, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or assets of the Company, or (ii) the ability of Seller to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on a timely basis.
|
a.
|
The Purchaser has all necessary corporate or other power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to purchase the Purchased Shares;
|
b.
|
The Purchaser is a sophisticated institutional investor that is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Act and has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Purchased Shares and is able to bear the economic risk of such investment.
|
c.
|
The Purchaser is acquiring the Purchased Shares and for its own account, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with any, distribution thereof.
|
d.
|
The Purchased Shares were not offered or sold to Purchaser by any form of general solicitation or general advertising.
|
e.
|
Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchased Shares and purchased pursuant to this Agreement will be "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144 under the Act and may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred by Purchaser in the absence of an effective registration statement with respect to the Purchased Shares or an exemption from the registration requirements under the Act.
|
f.
|
Purchaser acknowledges that the certificate(s) representing the Purchased Shares will contain a standard securities law restrictive legend.
|
4.
|
Seller Covenants.
|
a.
|
