The execution and delivery of this Agreement will not violate or be in conflict with any order, judgment, injunction, agreement or controlling document to which the Buyer is a party or by which it is bound.

 

(e) Buyer Relationship with Brokers. The Buyer’s substantive relationship with a broker, if any, for the transactions contemplated hereby or subagent thereof (collectively, “Brokers”) through which the Buyer may be subscribing for the Notes predates such Broker’s contact with the Buyer regarding an investment in the Notes.

 

(f) Solicitation. The Buyer is unaware of, is in no way relying on, and did not become aware of the offering of the Notes through or as a result of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising including, without limitation, any article, notice, advertisement or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, in connection with the offering and sale of the Notes and is not subscribing for the Notes and did not become aware of the offering of the Notes through or as a result of any seminar or meeting to which the Buyer was invited by, or any solicitation of a subscription by, a person not previously known to the Buyer in connection with investments in securities generally.

 

(g) Brokerage Fees. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Buyer has taken no action that would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finders’ fees or the like relating to this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereby.

 

 

 

 

(h) Buyer’s Advisors. The Buyer and the Buyer’s attorney, accountant, purchaser representative and/or tax advisor, if any (collectively, the “Advisors”), as the case may be, has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax, and business matters, and, in particular, investments in securities, so as to enable it to utilize the information made available to it in connection with the Notes to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Notes and the Company and to make an informed investment decision with respect thereto.

 

(i) Buyer Liquidity. The Buyer has adequate means of providing for the Buyer’s current financial needs and foreseeable contingencies and has no need for liquidity of its investment in the Notes for an indefinite period of time, and after purchasing the Notes the Buyer will be able to provide for any foreseeable current needs and possible personal contingencies. The Buyer must bear and acknowledges the substantial economic risks of the investment in the Notes including the risk of illiquidity and the risk of a complete loss of this investment.

 

(j) High Risk Investment. The Buyer is aware that an investment in the Notes, and upon conversion of the Notes, the Conversion Shares, involves a number of very significant risks and has carefully researched and reviewed and understands the risks of, and other considerations relating to, the purchase of the Notes, and upon conversion of the Notes, the Conversion Shares. Buyer acknowledges that, among other things, the Notes are unsecured.

 

(k) Reliance on Exemptions. The Buyer understands that the Notes are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Buyer’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Buyer to acquire the Securities.

 

(l) Information. The Buyer and its Advisors have been furnished with all documents and materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries and information that Buyer requested and deemed material to making an informed investment decision regarding Buyer’s purchase of the Notes. The Buyer and its Advisors have been afforded the opportunity to review such documents and materials and the information contained therein. The Buyer and its Advisors have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and its management. The Buyer understands that such discussions, as well as any written information provided by the Company, were intended to describe the aspects of the Company’s business and prospects which the Company believes to be material, but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description, and except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Company makes no representation or warranty with respect to the completeness of such information and make no representation or warranty of any kind with respect to any information provided by any entity other than the Company. Some of such information may include projections as to the future performance of the Company and its subsidiaries, which projections may not be realized, may be based on assumptions which may not be correct and may be subject to numerous factors beyond the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ control. Additionally, the Buyer understands and represents that Buyer is purchasing the Notes notwithstanding the fact that the Company and its subsidiaries may disclose in the future certain material information the Buyer has not received, including the financial results of the Company and its subsidiaries for their current fiscal quarters. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by the Buyer or its Advisors shall modify, amend or affect the Buyer’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3 below. The Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Notes.

 

 

 

 

(m) No Other Representations or Information. In evaluating the suitability of an investment in the Notes and if applicable, the Conversion Shares, the Buyer has not relied upon any representation or information (oral or written) with respect to the Company or its subsidiaries, or otherwise, other than as stated in this Agreement and the Notes.

 

(n) No Governmental Review. The Buyer understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Notes (or the Conversion Shares), or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Notes (or the Conversion Shares), nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Notes (or the Conversion Shares).

 

(o) Transfer or Resale. The Buyer understands that: (i) the Notes and Conversion Shares have not been and may not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, or (B) the Buyer shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements; (ii) any sale of such securities made in reliance on Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or a successor rule thereto) (“Rule 144”) may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of such securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) the Company is not, and no other person is, under any obligation to register such securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. The Company reserves the right to place stop transfer instructions against the shares and certificates for the Conversion Shares to the extent specifically set forth under this Agreement. There can be no assurance that there will be any market or resale for the Notes (or the Conversion Shares), nor can there be any assurance that the Notes (or the Conversion Shares) will be freely transferable at any time in the foreseeable future.

 

 

 

 

(p) Legends. The Buyer understands that the certificates or other instruments representing the Notes (and the Conversion Shares) shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”). THESE SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY (A) TO THE COMPANY, (B) IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IF AVAILABLE, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, (C) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, OR (D) IN A TRANSACTION THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND THE HOLDER HAS, PRIOR TO SUCH SALE, FURNISHED TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE OF EXEMPTION, IN EITHER CASE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY. HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT.

 

(q) Organization and Standing of Buyer. The Buyer is duly incorporated or organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization.

 

(r) Authorization, Enforcement. The Buyer has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and to purchase the Notes being sold to it hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents by the Buyer and the consummation by the Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or partnership action, and no further consent or authorization of the Buyer or Buyer’s Board of Directors, stockholders, partners, members, as the case may be, is required. This Agreement and the Transaction Documents (to the extent the Buyer is party thereto) have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Buyer and upon execution of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents by the other parties hereto and thereto, constitute, or shall constitute when executed and delivered, a valid and binding obligation of the Buyer enforceable against the Buyer in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.

 

(s) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the consummation by such Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or relating hereto do not and will not (i) result in a violation of such Buyer’s charter documents or bylaws or other organizational documents or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of any agreement, indenture or instrument or obligation to which such Buyer is a party or by which its properties or assets are bound, or result in a violation of any law, rule, or regulation, or any order, judgment or decree of any court or governmental agency applicable to such Buyer or its properties (except for such conflicts, defaults and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on such Buyer). Such Buyer is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or to purchase the Notes in accordance with the terms hereof, provided that for purposes of the representation made in this sentence, such Buyer is assuming and relying upon the accuracy of the relevant representations and agreements of the Company herein.

 

 

 

 

(t) Receipt of Documents. The Buyer, its counsel and/or its Advisors have received and read in their entirety: (i) this Agreement and each representation, warranty and covenant set forth herein; and (ii) all due diligence and other information necessary to verify the accuracy and completeness of such representations, warranties and covenants; the Buyer has received answers to all questions such Buyer submitted to the Company regarding an investment in the Company; and the Buyer has relied on the information contained therein and has not been furnished any other documents, literature, memorandum or prospectus.

 

(u) Status as a Former Shell Company. The Buyer understands that the Company is a former “shell company” as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company ceased to be a “shell company” on December 23, 2014 and filed Form 10 type information under cover of Form 8-K on December 24, 2014. Pursuant to Rule 144(i), securities issued by a current or former shell company (such as the Securities) that otherwise meet the holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 nevertheless cannot be sold in reliance on Rule 144 until one year after such company (a) is no longer a shell company; and (b) has filed current “Form 10 information” (as defined in Rule 144(i)) with the SEC reflecting that it is no longer a shell company, and provided that at the time of a proposed sale pursuant to Rule 144, such company is subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports. As a result, the restrictive legends on certificates for the securities cannot be removed except in connection with an actual sale meeting the foregoing requirements or pursuant to an effective registration statement.

 

(v) Confidentiality. The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that certain of the information received by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is of a confidential nature and may be regarded as material non-public information under Regulation FD promulgated by the SEC and that such information has been furnished to the Buyer for the sole purpose of enabling the Buyer to consider and evaluate an investment in the Notes. The Buyer agrees that it will treat such information in a confidential manner, will not use such information for any purpose other than evaluating an investment in the Notes, will not, directly or indirectly, trade or permit the Buyer’s agents, representatives or affiliates to trade in any securities of the Company while in possession of such information and will not, directly or indirectly, disclose or permit the Buyer’s agents, representatives or affiliates to disclose any of such information without the Company’s prior written consent. The Buyer shall make its agents, affiliates and representatives aware of the confidential nature of the information contained herein and the terms of this section including the Buyer’s agreement to not disclose such information, to not trade in the Company’s securities while in the possession of such information and to be responsible for any disclosure or other improper use of such information by such agents, affiliates or representatives. Likewise, without the Company’s prior written consent, the Buyer will not, directly or indirectly, make any statements, public announcements or other release or provision of information in any form to any trade publication, to the press or to any other person or entity whose primary business is or includes the publication or dissemination of information related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

 

 

 

(w) No Legal Advice from the Company. The Buyer acknowledges that it had the opportunity to review this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with its own legal counsel and investment and tax Advisors. The Buyer is relying solely on such Advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its employees, representatives or agents for legal, tax, economic and related considerations or investment advice with respect to this investment, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the securities laws of any jurisdiction.

 

(x) No Group Participation. The Buyer and its affiliates are not a member of any group, nor is the Buyer acting in concert with any other person with respect to its acquisition of the Notes (and the Conversion Shares).

 

(y) Reliance. Any information which the Buyer has heretofore furnished or is furnishing herewith to the Company or any Broker is complete and accurate and may be relied upon by the Company and any Broker in determining the availability of an exemption from registration under U.S. federal and state securities laws in connection with the offering of securities as described in this Agreement. The Buyer further represents and warrants that it will notify and supply corrective information to the Company immediately upon the occurrence of any change therein occurring prior to the Company’s issuance of the Notes. Within five (5) days after receipt of a request from the Company or any Broker, the Buyer will provide such information and deliver such documents as may reasonably be necessary to comply with any and all laws to which the Company or any Broker is subject.

 

(z) Anti-Money Laundering; OFAC.

 

[The Buyer should check the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) website at http://www.treas.gov/ofac before making the following representations.] The Buyer represents that the amounts invested by it in the Company in the Notes were not and are not directly or indirectly derived from activities that contravene U.S. federal or state or international laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering laws and regulations. U.S. federal regulations and Executive Orders administered by OFAC prohibit, among other things, the engagement in transactions with, and the provision of services to, certain foreign countries, territories, entities and individuals. The lists of OFAC prohibited countries, territories, persons and entities can be found on the OFAC website at http://www.treas.gov/ofac. In addition, the programs administered by OFAC (the “OFAC Programs”) prohibit dealing with individuals1 or entities in certain countries regardless of whether such individuals or entities appear on the OFAC lists;

Please be advised that the Company may not accept any amounts from a prospective investor if such prospective investor cannot make the representation set forth in the preceding paragraph. The Buyer agrees to promptly notify the Company should the Buyer become aware of any change in the information set forth in these representations. The Buyer understands and acknowledges that, by law, the Company may be obligated to “freeze the account” of the Buyer, either by prohibiting additional subscriptions from the Buyer, declining any redemption requests and/or segregating the assets in the account in compliance with governmental regulations, and a Broker may also be required to report such action and to disclose the Buyer’s identity to OFAC. The Buyer further acknowledges that the Company may, by written notice to the Buyer, suspend the redemption rights, if any, of the Buyer if the Company reasonably deem it necessary to do so to comply with anti-money laundering regulations applicable to the Company or any Broker or any of the Company’s other service providers. These individuals include specially designated nationals, specially designated narcotics traffickers and other parties subject to OFAC sanctions and embargo programs;

 

To the best of the Buyer’s knowledge, none of: (1) the Buyer; (2) any person controlling or controlled by the Buyer; (3) if the Buyer is a privately-held entity, any person having a beneficial interest in the Buyer; or (4) any person for whom the Buyer is acting as agent or nominee in connection with this investment is a senior foreign political figure2, or any immediate family3 member or close associate4 of a senior foreign political figure, as such terms are defined in the footnotes below; and

 

If the Buyer is affiliated with a non-U.S. banking institution (a “Foreign Bank”), or if the Buyer receives deposits from, makes payments on behalf of, or handles other financial transactions related to a Foreign Bank, the Buyer represents and warrants to the Company that: (1) the Foreign Bank has a fixed address, other than solely an electronic address, in a country in which the Foreign Bank is authorized to conduct banking activities; (2) the Foreign Bank maintains operating records related to its banking activities; (3) the Foreign Bank is subject to inspection by the banking authority that licensed the Foreign Bank to conduct banking activities; and (4) the Foreign Bank does not provide banking services to any other Foreign Bank that does not have a physical presence in any country and that is not a regulated affiliate.

In addition, a “senior foreign political figure” includes any corporation, business or other entity that has been formed by, or for the benefit of, a senior foreign political figure.

 

3 “Immediate family” of a senior foreign political figure typically includes the figure’s parents, siblings, spouse, children and in-laws.

 

4 A “close associate” of a senior foreign political figure is a person who is widely and publicly known to maintain an unusually close relationship with the senior foreign political figure, and includes a person who is in a position to conduct substantial domestic and international financial transactions on behalf of the senior foreign political figure.

ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING REQUIREMENTS

 

The USA PATRIOT Act

 

The USA PATRIOT Act is designed to detect, deter, and punish terrorists in the United States and abroad. The Act imposes new anti-money laundering requirements on brokerage firms and financial institutions. Since April 24, 2002 all brokerage firms have been required to have new, comprehensive anti-money laundering programs.

 

To help you understand these efforts, we want to provide you with some information about money laundering and our steps to implement the USA PATRIOT Act.

 

What is money laundering?

 

Money laundering is the process of disguising illegally obtained money so that the funds appear to come from legitimate sources or activities. Money laundering occurs in connection with a wide variety of crimes, including illegal arms sales, drug trafficking, robbery, fraud, racketeering, and terrorism.

 

How big is the problem and why is it important?

 

The use of the U.S. financial system by criminals to facilitate terrorism or other crimes could well taint our financial markets. According to the U.S. State Department, one recent estimate puts the amount of worldwide money laundering activity at $1 trillion a year.

 

What are we required to do to eliminate money laundering?

 

Under rules required by the USA PATRIOT Act, our anti-money laundering program must designate a special compliance officer, set up employee training, conduct independent audits, and establish policies and procedures to detect and report suspicious transaction and ensure compliance with such laws. As part of our required program, we may ask you to provide various identification documents or other information. Until you provide the information or documents we need, we may not be able to effect any transactions for you.
