2 of 15 |
1. Purchase and Sale of the Shares.
(a) | Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Randall F Greene, the Subscriber hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase 200,000 (Two hundred thousand) Common Shares and, as full payment therefore, agrees to pay us, concurrently with the Subscriber’s execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement, the sum of fifty cents ($0.50) for each Common Share purchased, or an aggregate purchase price of $100,000 (One hundred thousand) for the 200,000 Common Shares. The aggregate Purchase Price is payable by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company. |
(b) | This Offering will be conducted in several tranches and for an indefinite period, the first tranche of which is represented by this Subscription Agreement and the maximum amount being offered is indefinite. The Company, in its sole discretion, may terminate this tranche at any time and may conduct additional tranches on different terms as provided for in 1(c) below. |
(c) | The Company may at its discretion modify the Offering without approval from or notice to the Subscriber, including but not limited to, increases or reductions or as to the terms of the Securities to be exchanged with the Subscriber’s interests. The Company may raise the price of the Common Shares in this Offering at any time in the future. The Company may also offer the Common Shares at different prices to different Subscriber at the same or similar times at its discretion. The Company may eliminate the warrant provision from the Subscription Agreement. |
At the sole discretion of the Company’s management, but in conformity with applicable state and federal laws, the Company may conduct other Offerings while it is conducting this Offering with terms that may not be similar or comparable to the terms of this Offering. The Company reserves the right to reject any subscription made hereby, in whole or in part, in its sole discretion. The Company’s agreement with each Subscriber is a separate agreement and the sale of the Shares to each Subscriber is a separate sale.
Subscriber has hereby delivered and paid concurrently herewith the aggregate Purchase Price for the number of Shares set forth on the signature page hereof in an amount required to purchase and pay for such Shares, which amount has been paid in U.S. Dollars by wire transfer or check, subject to collection, to the order of “UPAY, Inc.” pending the sale of the Shares, all funds paid hereunder shall be deposited to the Company corporate account as follows:
2. Stock Issuance Date.
The issuance of the Shares in the form of a stock certificate issued by the Company’s transfer agent or through a book entry by the Company’s transfer agent shall occur within a reasonable timeframe of the execution of this Agreement.
3 of 15 |
The Subscriber acknowledges and understands that this subscription is being made on a “best efforts” basis.
3. Subscriber Representations, Warranties and Covenants.
Each Subscriber agrees, represents and warrants to the Company, severally and solely with respect to itself and its purchase hereunder and not with respect to any other Subscriber, that:
3.1 Purchase for Subscriber’s Own Account.
The Subscriber is purchasing the Securities for the Subscriber’s own account and for Subscriber’s investment purposes and not with a view towards the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales that are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and/or sales registered under the Securities Act. The Subscriber understands that Subscriber must bear the economic risk of this investment indefinitely, unless the Securities are registered pursuant to the Securities Act and any applicable state securities or Blue-Sky Laws or an exemption from such registration is available. Further, the Subscriber will not act as nominee and the Subscriber represents that it is not a nominee for any other person. No one other than Subscriber has any interest in or any right to acquire the Securities subscribed for by Subscriber. Subscriber understands and acknowledges that we will have no obligation to recognize the ownership, beneficial or otherwise, of such Securities by anyone other than Subscriber. Subscriber is purchasing the Securities from funds legally obtained and belonging to Subscriber and has not borrowed or otherwise received the funds used to purchase the Securities, or any portion thereof from any third party.
4 of 15 |
3.2 Investment Intention of Subscriber.
The Subscriber understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and we are relying upon an exemption from registration under the provisions of the Securities Act that depends, in part, upon the Subscriber’s investment intention. In connection with this, the Subscriber understands that it is the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that the statutory basis for such exemption would not be present if the Subscriber’s representation merely meant that its present intention was to hold the Securities for a short period, such as the capital gains period of tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for a market rise, assuming that a market develops, or for any other fixed period. The Subscriber realizes that, in the view of the SEC, an investor who purchases the Securities with a present intent to resell the interest would not be purchasing for investment as required by SEC rules.
3.3 Reliance on Exemptions from Registration.
The Subscriber understands that the Securities are being offered and sold in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States securities laws and that we are relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Subscriber’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Subscriber set forth herein without limitation in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Subscriber to acquire the Securities.
3.4 Accredited Investor Status, and Suitability.
The Subscriber has read and understands Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act and represents that the Subscriber is an “Accredited Investor” as that term is defined by Rule 501(a). Subscriber further represents that the Subscriber is knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in making and is qualified to make decisions with respect to a variety of sophisticated and complex investments that present investment decisions like those involved in the purchase of the Securities. The Subscriber, in reaching a decision to subscribe, has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Subscriber is capable of reading, interpreting and understanding financial statements and evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities and has the net worth to undertake such risks. Subscriber has invested in the common stock or other securities of companies comparable to ours that involve non-trading, and/or thinly traded securities and penny stocks, unregistered securities, restricted securities and high-risk investments. The Subscriber represents that in addition to Subscriber’s own ability to evaluate an investment in the Securities, the Subscriber has consulted with an investment advisor, attorney, accountant, financial advisor or other advisor to read all of the documents furnished or made available by us to the Subscriber, to evaluate the merits and risks of such an investment on its behalf, and that the Subscriber recognizes the highly speculative nature of an investment in the Securities, and the Subscriber represents that he or she is familiar with our business operations and financial affairs and has been provided with all information pertaining to us it has requested.
3.5 Financial Suitability.
The Subscriber understands that he or she or it may be unable to liquidate the Securities and that its ability to transfer the Common Shares is limited. The Subscriber’s overall commitment to investments, which are not readily marketable, is not disproportionate to Subscriber’s net worth, and the investment in the Securities will not cause the Subscriber’s overall investment in illiquid high-risk investments to become excessive in proportion to Subscriber’s assets, liabilities and living standards. The Subscriber can bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time and can bear a loss of the entire investment in the Securities without financial hardship or a change in its living conditions.
3.6 Representations of income or profit.
The Subscriber is not investing in the Securities based upon any representation, oral or written, by any person with respect to the future value of, if any, or the income from, if any, the Common Shares. Neither us nor any of our officers, directors, shareholders, partners, employees or agents, or any other persons have represented, guaranteed or warranted, whether expressly or by implication, that: (i) the Subscriber will realize any given percentage of profits and/or amount or type of consideration, profit or loss as a result of our activities or the Subscriber’s investment in the Securities; or (ii) our past performance or experience of our management, or of any other person, will in any way indicate predictable results regarding the ownership of our Securities, the future value of the Securities, or of our activities or financial condition or results of operations.

Such Subscriber understands and agrees that the Shares and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Shares sold in this Offering have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, by reason of their issuance in a transaction that does not require registration under the Securities Act (based in part on the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Subscriber contained herein), and that such Shares must be held indefinitely unless a subsequent disposition is registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from such registration. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Subscriber is familiar with Rule 144 of the rules and regulations of the Commission, as amended, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), and that such person has been advised that Rule 144 permits resales only under certain circumstances.

4.0 Risks and Acknowledgement of Risk.
The Company’s business plan is subject to substantial risks, which are described below. The Subscriber understands the risks of an investment in the Company’s Securities and is aware that anyone or a combination of the following additional risks and others not presently contemplated may adversely affect the value of the Subscriber’s investment or even cause the loss of the Subscriber’s entire investment:
• | The lending software systems industry is highly competitive. |
• | Our ability to raise capital in the future may be limited, which could make us unable to fund our capital requirements. |
• | We may incur substantial additional debt, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition by limiting our ability to obtain financing in the future and react to changes in our business. |
• | We have not commenced our operations in the US and we have significant challenges to establish a US market; should we fail to do so, our results of operations will be significantly impaired. |
• | If we are unable to hire and retain key current and future personnel, the loss of their services could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. |
• | Economic uncertainties or downturns could materially adversely affect our business. |
11 of 15 |
• | Our customers’ inability to effectively, efficiently, and profitably introduce or manage new products or alternative methods for conducting business could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, and financial condition. |
• | We currently lack product and business diversification; as a result, our revenues and earnings may be disproportionately negatively impacted by external factors and may be more susceptible to fluctuations than more diversified companies. |
• | The credit industry is highly regulated under both US and South Africa federal law, state and local laws; our customers’ failure to comply with these regulations and statutes could have a material adverse effect on our customers’ business, prospects, results of operations, and financial condition, which in turn may negatively affect our results of operations. |
• | Media reports and public perception of cash advances and similar loans as being predatory or abusive could materially adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations, and financial condition. |
• | Our products may not achieve market acceptance, which may make it difficult for us to compete. |
• | A decline in computer software spending may result in a decrease in our revenues or lower our growth rate. |
• | Our technology may become obsolete, which could materially adversely affect our ability to sell our products and services. |
• | Our products may contain undetected software defects, which could negatively affect our revenues. |
• | Security and privacy breaches may negative impact our business. |
• | An investment in our shares is highly speculative. |
The Subscriber hereby understands and acknowledges that the Company may be subject to unforeseen and other material risks not set forth herein. As such, Subscriber must rely upon Subscriber’s own independent due diligence investigation of the Company in considering an investment in the Common Shares. Each prospective subscriber agrees to carefully analyze the risks and merits of an investment in the Common Shares and should take into consideration when making such analysis, among others, the risk factors discussed above. Further, the Subscriber agrees, acknowledges and understands that its investment in the Shares involves a significant degree of risk, including, without limitation that: (A) the Company is a development stage business with limited operating history and requires substantial funds in addition to the proceeds from the sale of the Shares; (B) an investment in the Company is highly speculative and only Subscriber who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company and the Shares; (C) the Subscriber may be unable to liquidate the Subscriber’s its investment; (D) transferability of the Shares is extremely limited; and (E) in the event of a disposition of the Shares, the Subscriber can sustain the loss of its entire investment.
