SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT GeoSolar Technologies, Inc.
EXHIBIT 4.1
The securities of GeoSolar Technologies, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Company”), to which this Subscription Agreement relates, represent an investment that involves a high degree of risk, suitable only for persons who can bear the economic risk for an indefinite period of time and who can afford to lose their entire investments. Investors should further understand that this investment is illiquid and is expected to continue to be illiquid for an indefinite period of time. No public market exists for the securities to which this Subscription Agreement relates.
The securities offered hereby have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities or blue sky laws and are being offered and sold in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and state securities or blue sky laws. Although an Offering Statement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), that Offering Statement does not include the same information that would be included in a Registration Statement under the Securities Act. The securities offered hereby have not been approved or disapproved by the SEC, any state securities commission or other regulatory authority, nor have any of the foregoing authorities passed upon the merits of the offering to which this Subscription Agreement relates or the adequacy or accuracy of this Subscription Agreement or any other materials or information made available to prospective investors in connection with the offering to which this Subscription Agreement. Any representation to the contrary is unlawful.
The securities offered hereby cannot be sold or otherwise transferred, except in compliance with the Securities Act. In addition, the securities offered hereby cannot be sold or otherwise transferred, except in compliance with applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws. Investors who are not “accredited investors” (as that term is defined in Section 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act) are subject to limitations on the amount they may invest, as described in Section 4(e) of this Subscription Agreement.
To determine the availability of exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act as such may relate to the offering to which this Subscription Agreement relates, the Company is relying on each investor’s representations and warranties included in this Subscription Agreement and the other information provided by each investor in connection herewith.
Prospective investors may not treat the contents of this Subscription Agreement, the Offering Circular or any of the other materials provided by the Company (collectively, the “Offering Materials”), or any prior or subsequent communications from the Company or any of its officers, employees or agents (including “Testing the Waters” materials), as investment, legal or tax advice. In making an investment decision, investors must rely on their own examinations of the Company and the terms of the offering to which this Subscription Agreement relates, including the merits and the risks involved. Each prospective investor should consult such investor’s own counsel, accountants and other professional advisors as to investment, legal, tax and other related matters concerning such investor’s proposed investment in the Company.
The Offering Materials may contain forward-looking statements and information relating to, among other things, the Company, its business plan, its operating strategy and its industries. These forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of, assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the Company’s management. When used in the Offering Materials, the words “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which constitute forward looking statements. These statements reflect management’s current views with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. The Company does not undertake any obligation to revise or update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after such date or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

(a) Investor hereby irrevocably subscribes for, and agrees to purchase, the Offered Shares set forth on the signature page hereto, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. The aggregate purchase price for the Offered Shares subscribed by Investor (the “Purchase Price”) is payable to the Company in the manner in Section 2.
(b) Investor understands that the Offered Shares are being offered pursuant to the Regulation A Offering Circular dated _____________, 2022, and its exhibits (collectively, the “Offering Circular”), as filed with the SEC. By subscribing for the Offered Shares, Investor acknowledges that Investor has received and reviewed a copy of the Offering Circular and any other information required by Investor to make an investment decision with respect to the Offered Shares.
(c) This Subscription Agreement may be accepted or rejected in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason, at any time prior to the termination date of the Offering, by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion. The Company will notify Investor whether this Subscription Agreement is accepted or rejected. If rejected, Investor’s payment shall be returned to Investor without interest and all of Investor’s obligations hereunder shall terminate, except for Section 5 hereof, which shall remain in force and effect.
(d) The terms of this Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon Investor and Investors’ permitted transferees, heirs, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Transferees”); provided, however, that for any such transfer to be deemed effective, the proposed Transferee shall have executed and delivered to the Company, in advance, an instrument in form acceptable to the Company in its sole discretion, pursuant to which the proposed Transferee shall acknowledge and agree to be bound by the representations and warranties of Investor and the terms of this Subscription Agreement. No transfer of this Agreement may be made without the consent of the Company, which consent may be withheld by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion.
2. Payment and Purchase Procedure. The Purchase Price shall be paid simultaneously with Investor’s delivery of this Subscription Agreement. Investor shall deliver payment of the Purchase Price for the Offered Shares in the manner set forth in the Company's Offering Circular. Investor acknowledges that, in order to subscribe for Offered Shares, Investor must comply fully with the purchase procedure requirements set forth in the Offering Circular.
3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to Investor that each of the following is true and complete in all material respects as of the date of this Subscription Agreement:
(a) the Company is a corporation duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Colorado. The Company has all requisite power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets, to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement, the Offered Shares and any other agreements or instruments required hereunder. The Company is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which the nature of its activities and of its properties (both owned and leased) makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business;
(b) The issuance, sale and delivery of the Offered Shares in accordance with this Subscription Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. The Offered Shares, when issued, sold and delivered against payment therefor in accordance with the provisions of this Subscription Agreement, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; and
(c) the acceptance by the Company of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby are within the Company’s powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. Upon the Company’s acceptance of this Subscription Agreement, this Subscription Agreement shall constitute a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except (1) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights and (2) as limited by general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable remedies.
| 2 |
4. Representations and Warranties of Investor. Investor represents and warrants to the Company that each of the following is true and complete in all material respects as of the date of this Subscription Agreement:
(a) Requisite Power and Authority. Investor has all necessary power and authority under all applicable provisions of law to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and to carry out the provisions hereof. Upon due delivery hereof, this Subscription Agreement will be a valid and binding obligation of Investor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (1) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights and (2) as limited by general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable remedies.
(b) Company Offering Circular; Company Information. Investor acknowledges the public availability of the Offering Circular which can be viewed on the SEC ▇▇▇▇▇ Database, and that Investor has reviewed the Offering Circular. Investor acknowledges that the Offering Circular makes clear the terms and conditions of the Offering and that the risks associated therewith are described. Investor has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management and financial affairs with directors, officers and management of the Company and has had the opportunity to review the Company’s operations and facilities. Investor has also had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company and its management regarding the terms and conditions of the Offering. Investor acknowledges that, except as set forth herein, no representations or warranties have been made to Investor, or to any advisor or representative of Investor, by the Company with respect to the business or prospects of the Company or its financial condition.
(c) Investment Experience; Investor Suitability. Investor has sufficient experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Offered Shares, and to make an informed decision relating thereto. Alternatively, Investor has utilized the services of a purchaser representative and, together, they have sufficient experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Offered Shares, and to make an informed decision relating thereto. Investor has evaluated the risks of an investment in the Offered Shares, including those described in the section of the Offering Circular entitled “Risk Factors”, and has determined that such an investment is suitable for Investor. Investor has adequate financial resources for an investment of this character. Investor is capable of bearing a complete loss of Investor’s investment in the Offered Shares.
(d) No Registration. Investor understands that the Offered Shares are not being registered under the Securities Act, on the ground that the issuance thereof is exempt under Regulation A promulgated under the Securities Act, and that reliance on such exemption is predicated, in part, on the truth and accuracy of Investor’s representations and warranties, and those of the other purchasers of the Offered Shares in the Offering.
Investor further understands that the Offered Shares are not being registered under the securities laws of any state, on the basis that the issuance thereof is exempt as an offer and sale not involving a registrable public offering in such state, since the Offered Shares are “covered securities” under the National Securities Market Improvement Act of 1996.
Investor covenants not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Offered Shares, unless such Offered Shares have been registered under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities laws, or exemptions from such registration requirements are available.
(e) Illiquidity and Continued Economic Risk. Investor acknowledges and agrees that there is no ready public market for the Offered Shares and that there is no guarantee that a market for their resale will ever exist. Investor must, therefore, bear the economic risk of the investment in the Offered Shares indefinitely and Investor acknowledges that Investor is able to bear the economic risk of losing Investor’s entire investment in the Offered Shares.

(f) Accredited Investor Status or Investment Limits. Investor represents that either:
(1) Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act; and meets at least one (1) of the following criteria (initial all that apply) (initial as applicable):
| __________ | The Investor is a natural person (individual) whose own net worth, taken together with the net worth of the Investor’s spouse, exceeds US$1,000,000, excluding equity in the Investor’s principal residence unless the net effect of his or her mortgage results in negative equity, the Investor should include any negative effects in calculating his or her net worth. |
| __________ | The Investor is a natural person (individual) who had an individual income in excess of US$200,000 (or joint income with the Investor spouse in excess of US$300,000) in each of the two previous years and who reasonably expects a gross income of the same this year. |
| __________ | The Investor is an entity as to which all the equity owners are Accredited Investors. If this paragraph is initialed, the Investor represents and warrants that the Investor has verified all such equity owners’ status as an Accredited Investor. |
| __________ | The Investor is either (i) a corporation, (ii) an organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, (iii) a trust, or (iv) a partnership, in each case not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the securities offered, and in each case with total assets in excess of US$5,000,000. |
(2) the Purchase Price, together with any other amounts previously used to purchase Offered Shares in the Offering, does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the greater of Investor’s annual income or net worth (or, in the case where Investor is a non-natural person, Investor’s revenue or net assets for such Investor’s most recently completed fiscal year end).
Investor represents that, to the extent Investor has any questions with respect to Investor’s status as an accredited investor, or the application of the investment limits, Investor has sought professional advice.
(g) Investor Information. Within five (5) days after receipt of a request from the Company, Investor hereby agrees to provide such information with respect to Investor’s status as an accredited investor or the Investor's annual net income or net worth and to execute and deliver such documents as may reasonably be necessary to comply with any and all laws and regulations to which the Company is, or may become, including, without limitation, the need to determine the status of the Investor. Investor further agrees that, in the event Investor transfers any Offered Shares, Investor will require the transferee of any such Offered Shares to agree to provide such information to the Company as a condition of such transfer.
(h) Valuation; Arbitrary Determination of Share Purchase Price by the Company. Investor acknowledges that the Purchase Price of the Offered Shares in the Offering was set by the Company on the basis of the Company’s internal valuation and no warranties are made as to value. Investor further acknowledges that future offerings of securities of the Company may be made at lower valuations, with the result that Investor’s investment will bear a lower valuation.
(i) Domicile. Investor maintains Investor’s domicile (and is not a transient or temporary resident) at the address provided herein.
| 4 |
(j) Foreign Investors. If Investor is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), Investor hereby represents that Investor is in full compliance with the laws of Investor’s jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Offered Shares or any use of this Subscription Agreement, including, without limitation, (1) the legal requirements within Investor’s jurisdiction for the purchase of the Offered Shares, (2) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (3) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (4) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Offered Shares. Investor’s subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Offered Shares will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of Investor’s jurisdiction.
(k) Fiduciary Capacity. If Investor is purchasing the Offered Shares in a fiduciary capacity for another person or entity, including, without limitation, a corporation, partnership, trust or any other juridical entity, Investor has been duly authorized and empowered to execute this Subscription Agreement and all other related documents. Upon request of the Company, Investor will provide true, complete and current copies of all relevant documents creating Investor, authorizing Investor’s investment in the Company and/or evidencing the satisfaction of the foregoing.
5. Indemnity. The representations, warranties and covenants made by Investor herein shall survive the consummation of this Subscription Agreement. Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors and agents, and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all reasonable attorneys’ fees, including attorneys’ fees on appeal) and expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any false representation or warranty or breach of failure by Investor to comply with any covenant or agreement made by Investor herein or in any other document furnished by Investor to any of the foregoing in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby.
6. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
