“Offering Documents” shall mean this Agreement and the Term Sheet attached here to as Exhibit A.
1. Subscription for Units and Representations by Subscriber.
1.1 Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Subscriber hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company Units, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein, and as is set forth on the signature page hereof, and the Company agrees to sell such Units to the Subscriber at a per Unit price of $2.00 United States Dollars or a total purchase price of $ United States Dollars (the “Purchase Price”). Certificates for the Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants will be delivered by the Company to the Subscriber promptly following the receipt of this Agreement and payment in full satisfaction of the Purchase Price.
3
1.2 The Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of Units involves a high degree of risk in that (i) the Company is a development stage company but does have specific business plans; (ii) following completion of its current financing, the Company will have approximately 49,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding on a fully diluted basis assuming full conversion of the Preferred Stock; and (iii) the Units are being offered pursuant to an exemption from registration under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). It is further acknowledged that the Undersigned: (i) is not relying upon any representations other than those specifically made by officers or representatives of the Company and (ii) has had access to the Company’s officers and directors and has reviewed or had access to the Company’s business plan for purposes of obtaining any information requested by the Undersigned.
1.3 The Subscriber represents that the Subscriber is not a U.S. Person as defined under Regulation S promulgated under the Act.
1.4 The Subscriber hereby acknowledges and represents that (i) the Subscriber has prior investment experience, including investment in non-listed and unregistered securities, or that the Subscriber has employed the services of an investment advisor, attorney and/or accountant to read all of the documents furnished or made available by the Company both to the Subscriber and to all other prospective Subscribers to evaluate the merits and risks of such an investment on the Subscriber’s behalf, (ii) the Subscriber recognizes the highly speculative nature of an investment in the Units, and (iii) the Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk and illiquidity which the Subscriber assumes by investing in the Units.
1.5 The Subscriber (i) hereby represents that the Subscriber has been furnished the opportunity during the course of this transaction the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized officers or other representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of this transaction and (ii) has been afforded the opportunity to request any information which the Subscriber believes will assist them in making their investment decision.
1.6 (a) To the extent necessary, the Subscriber has retained, at its own expense, and relied upon the advice of appropriate professionals regarding the purchase, tax and legal merits and consequences of this Agreement and its acquisition of the Units hereunder.
(b) The Subscriber represents that (i) the Subscriber was contacted regarding the Units by a representative of the Company with whom the Subscriber had a prior substantial pre-existing relationship, and (ii) no Units were offered or sold to the Subscriber by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising and in connection therewith the Subscriber did not (A) receive or review any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in a newspaper or magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, whether closed circuit or generally available; or (B) attend any seminar, meeting or industry Subscriber conference whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.
4
1.7 The Subscriber hereby acknowledges that the Units have not been reviewed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) because of the Company’s representations that these Units are intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Act pursuant to Sections 3(b), 4(2) and/or 4(6) thereof, and Regulation S promulgated under the Act. The Subscriber agrees that the Subscriber will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any of the Units, except in compliance with the Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
1.8 The Subscriber understands that none of the Units have been registered under the Act by reason of a claimed exemption under the provisions of the Act which depends, in part, upon the Subscriber’s intention. In this connection, the Subscriber hereby represents that the Subscriber is acquiring the Units for the Subscriber’s own account for investment and not with a view toward the resale or distribution thereof to others. The Subscriber, if an entity, was not formed for the purpose of acquiring the Units. The Subscriber understands that Rule 144 promulgated under the Act requires, among other conditions, a six month holding period prior to the resale (in limited amounts) of securities acquired in a non-public offering without having to satisfy the registration requirements under the Act.
1.9 The Subscriber understands and hereby acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to register the Units under the Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws other than as set forth in Section 2 hereof. The Subscriber consents that the Company may, if it desires, permit the transfer of the Units out of the Subscriber’s name only when the Subscriber’s request for transfer is accompanied by an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that neither the sale nor the proposed transfer results in a violation of the Act or any applicable state “blue sky” laws (collectively, “Securities Laws”).
1.10 The Subscriber consents to the placement of a legend on any certificate or other document evidencing the Units indicating that such Units have not been registered under the Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws and setting forth or referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale thereof contained in this Agreement. Any and all certificates representing the Securities purchased and any and all securities issued in replacement thereof or in exchange thereof shall bear the following legend or one substantially similar thereto, which the Subscriber has read and understands:
“THE SECURITIES WHICH ARE REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNTIL A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO IS DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER SUCH ACT, OR LEGEND OIL AND GAS LTD. RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO COUNSEL FOR LEGEND OIL AND GAS LTD. THAT AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT IS AVAILABLE.”
5
1.11 The Subscriber understands that the Company shall have the right to issue stop transfer instructions on its official stock records, and the Subscriber acknowledges that the Company has informed the Subscriber of its intention to issue such instructions.
1.12 The Subscriber understands that the Company will review this Agreement and the Company reserves the unrestricted right, without further documentation or agreement on the part of the Subscriber, to reject or limit any subscription and to accept subscriptions for Units.
1.13 The Subscriber hereby represents that the address of the Subscriber furnished by the Subscriber on the signature page hereof is the Subscriber’s principal residence, if the Subscriber is an individual, or its principal business address if it is a corporation or other entity.
1.14 The Subscriber represents that the Subscriber has full power and authority (corporate, statutory and otherwise) to execute and deliver this Agreement and to acquire the Units subscribed for hereby. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Subscriber, enforceable against the Subscriber in accordance with its terms.
1.15 If the Subscriber is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, employee benefit plan, individual retirement account, Xxxxx Plan, or other entity, then (a) it is authorized and qualified to become an Subscriber in the Company and the person signing this Agreement on behalf of such entity has been duly authorized by such entity to do so, and (b) it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization.
1.16 The Subscriber represents and warrants that it has not engaged, consented to nor authorized any broker, finder or intermediary to act on its behalf, directly or indirectly, as a broker, finder or intermediary in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. The Subscriber shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against all fees, commissions or other payments owing to any such person or firm acting on behalf of such Subscriber hereunder.
1.17 The Subscriber, whose name appears on the signature line below, shall be the beneficial owner of the Units for which such Subscriber acquires.
1.18 The Subscriber understands, acknowledges and agrees with the Company as follows:
(a) The Company may reject any subscription at any time in its sole discretion. The execution of this Agreement by the Subscriber hereby shall create no obligation on the part of the Company to accept any subscription.
(b) The Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that the subscription hereunder is irrevocable by the Subscriber, and that, except as required by law, the Subscriber is not entitled to cancel, terminate or revoke this Agreement or any agreements of the Subscriber hereunder and that if the Subscriber is an individual this Agreement shall survive the death or disability of the Subscriber and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.
6
(c) No federal or state agency or authority has made any finding or determination as to the accuracy or adequacy of the Offering Documents or as to the fairness of the terms of neither the Offering Documents nor any recommendation or endorsement of the Units. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. In making an investment decision, the Subscriber must rely on its own examination of the Company, including the merits and risks involved.
