ENCORE BRANDS, INC.
 
 
SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
 
The undersigned (hereinafter “Subscriber”) hereby confirms its subscription for the purchase of shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, of Encore Brands, Inc. (“Common Stock”), a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) on the terms described below.
 
1.           Subscription Procedure
 
1.1           Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Subscriber hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company such number of Shares as is set forth upon the signature page hereof at a price of $0.45 per Share (the “Purchase Price”). The Company agrees to sell such Shares to the Subscriber for the Purchase Price.
 
1.2           The Purchase Price shall be paid over to the Company at the closing of the purchase of the Shares in the Offering (the “Closing”) to occur on the Closing Date.
 
1.3           The certificates for the Common Stock bearing the name of the Subscriber will be delivered by the Company no later than fifteen (15) days following the Closing Date. The Subscriber hereby authorizes and directs the Company to deliver the securities to be issued to such Subscriber pursuant to this Subscription Agreement to the residential or business address indicated in the Investor Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Investor Questionnaire”).
 
The Purchase Price for the Shares purchased hereunder shall be paid only by (i) certified check or (ii) by wire transfer to Encore Brands, Inc. as directed by the Company.
 
2.           Representations and Covenants of Subscriber
 
2.1           The Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of Shares involves a high degree of risk in that (i) the Company will need additional capital but has no assurance of obtaining such additional necessary capital; (ii) an investment in the Company is highly speculative and only investors who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company and the Shares; (iii) an investor may not be able to liquidate his investment; (iv) transferability of the Shares is extremely limited; and (v) an investor could sustain the loss of his entire investment.
 
2.2           The Subscriber represents that he is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act, as indicated by his responses to the Investor Questionnaire, and that he or it is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares. The Subscriber must complete the Investor Questionnaire to enable the Company to assess the Subscriber’s eligibility for the Offering.
 
2.3           The Subscriber acknowledges that he has prior investment experience, including investment in non-listed and non-registered securities, or he has employed the services of an investment advisor, attorney or accountant to read all of the documents furnished or made available by the Company both to him and to all other prospective investors in the Shares and to evaluate the merits and risks of such an investment on his behalf, and that he recognizes the highly speculative nature of this investment.
 

 
 

 


 
2.4           The Subscriber hereby represents that he has been furnished or given access by the Company during the course of this Offering with or to all information regarding the Company and its respective financial conditions and results of operations which he had requested or desired to know; that all documents which could be reasonably provided have been made available for his inspection and review; that he has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Offering, and any additional information which he had requested.
 
2.5           The Subscriber acknowledges that this Offering of Shares may involve tax consequences. The Subscriber acknowledges that he must retain his own professional advisors to evaluate the tax and other consequences of an investment in the Shares.
 
2.6           The Subscriber acknowledges that this Offering of Shares has not been reviewed or approved by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) because the Offering is intended to be a nonpublic offering pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act. The Subscriber represents that the Shares are being purchased for his own account, for investment and not for distribution or resale to others. The Subscriber agrees that he will not sell or otherwise transfer the Shares unless it is registered under the Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available and, upon the Company’s request, the Company receives an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company confirming that an exemption from such registration is available for such sale or transfer.
 
2.7           The Subscriber understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Act by reason of a claimed exemption under the provisions of the Act which depends, in part, upon his investment intention. The Subscriber realizes that, in the view of the SEC, a purchase now with an intent to distribute would represent a purchase with an intent inconsistent with his representation to the Company, and the SEC might regard such a distribution as a deferred sale to which such exemption is not available.
 
2.8           The Subscriber consents to the placement of one or more legends on any certificate or other document evidencing his Shares stating that it has not been registered under the Act and setting forth or referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale thereof.
 
2.9           The Subscriber hereby represents that no representations or warranties have been made to the Subscriber by the Company or its agents, employees or affiliates and in entering into this transaction, the Subscriber is not relying on any information, other than the results of independent investigation by the Subscriber.
 
2.10           The Subscriber understands and acknowledges that (i) the Shares are being offered and sold to Subscriber without registration under the Act in a private placement that is exempt from the registration provisions of the Act under Section 4(2) of the Act and (ii) the availability of such exemption depends in part on, and that the Company will rely upon the accuracy and truthfulness of, the foregoing representations, and such Subscriber hereby consents to such reliance.
 
2.11           The Subscriber has all requisite legal and other power and authority to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and to carry out and perform Subscriber’s obligations under the terms of this Subscription Agreement.  This Subscription Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of Subscriber, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors and rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief or other general principals of equity, whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or law.
 

 
2

 


 
2.12           There are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending against Subscriber or Subscriber’s properties before any court or governmental agency (nor, to Subscriber’s knowledge, is there any threat thereof) which would impair in any way Subscriber’s ability to enter into and fully perform Subscriber’s commitments and obligations under this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
 
2.13           The execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with this Subscription Agreement and the issuance of the Securities will not result in any material violation of, or conflict with, or constitute a material default under, any of Subscriber’s articles of incorporation or bylaws, if applicable, or any of Subscriber’s material agreements nor result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge against any of the assets or properties of Subscriber.

3.1           Organization and Authority.  The Company (i) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, (ii) has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as presently conducted, and (iii) has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform their obligations under this Subscription Agreement and any other document being executed and delivered by it in connection herewith, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

3.3           Corporate Authorization. This Subscription Agreement, assuming due execution and delivery by the Subscriber, when executed and delivered by the Company, will be, a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability hereof and thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity, regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
 
3.4           Non-Contravention.  The execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement by the Company and the issuance of the Shares do not and will not, with or without the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, (i) result in any violation of any provision of the articles of incorporation or by-laws or similar instruments of the Company or its subsidiaries, (ii) conflict with or result in a breach by the Company or its respective subsidiaries of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the modification of, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance upon any of the properties or assets of the Company, or (iii) violate or contravene any applicable law, rule or regulation or any applicable decree, judgment or order of any court, United States federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company.
