PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT
This Purchase and Sale Agreement is made and entered into as of the
13th day of October, 2000, by and among International Technology Investments
L.C., a Nevada limited liability company ("ITI"), Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx ("Shalom" and
together with ITI, the "Sellers") and each Person listed on the Schedule of
Purchasers attached as Exhibit A hereto (the "Schedule of Purchasers") who
executes this Agreement as a Purchaser (such Persons are referred to in this
Agreement, collectively, as the "Purchasers" and individually, as a
"Purchaser"). Unless defined elsewhere herein, capitalized and other defined
terms shall have the meanings specified in Section 9.
RECITALS
Shalom is the sole, duly appointed and acting Manager of ITI and is an
indirect beneficial owner of 40,000 units of Class A membership interests of
ITI. ITI owns 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock and Shalom has the sole right to
control the voting and disposition of such Common Stock held by ITI. Sellers
desire to sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers desire to purchase from
Sellers an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock for a total aggregate
purchase price of Nine Million Dollars ($9,000,000) at the Closing (as defined
below), subject to the terms and conditions herein.
AGREEMENT
In consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants, agreements,
hereinafter set forth, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:
1. Sale and Purchase of Common Stock. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement, ITI agrees to sell to the Purchasers,
and each of the Purchasers severally (and not jointly) agrees to purchase from
ITI, the number of shares of Common Stock indicated opposite such Purchaser's
name on the Schedule of Purchasers (the "Shares"), free and clear of all
Encumbrances, for a purchase price of Six and 00/100 Dollars ($6.00) per share.
The sale and purchase of the Shares shall take place at the offices of Xxxx,
Scholer, Fierman, Xxxx & Handler, LLP, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx
00000, at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, at a closing (the "Closing") on the
date hereof. At the Closing, ITI shall deliver to each Purchaser one or more
stock certificates representing such Shares, together with a stock power dated
the date of the Closing evidencing the transfer of such Shares to such
Purchaser, free and clear of all Encumbrances, against delivery by such
Purchaser to ITI of immediately available funds in the amount of the aggregate
purchase price for such Shares. If at the Closing, ITI shall fail to tender to
any Purchaser the Common Stock to be purchased by such Purchasers, or any of the
conditions specified in Section 4 shall not have been fulfilled to the
satisfaction of such Purchaser, such Purchaser shall, at its election, be
relieved of all further obligations under this Agreement, without thereby
waiving any other rights such Purchaser may have by reason of such failure or
such nonfulfillment.
5
2. Representations and Warranties of Sellers. Subject to the exceptions
set forth in the Schedule of Exceptions attached as Exhibit B hereto (the
"Schedule of Exceptions"), Sellers, jointly and severally, represent and warrant
to each of the Purchasers that:
(a) Organization and Good Standing. ITI is a limited liability
company duly organized and validly existing under and by virtue of the laws of
the State of Nevada and is in good standing under such laws. ITI is qualified,
licensed or domesticated as a foreign limited liability company in all
jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified, licensed or domesticated
would have a Material Adverse Effect. ITI has full power and authority
(corporate and other) to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to
operate its business as currently being operated.
(b) Ownership of ITI. All of the outstanding membership or
other equity interests in ITI are owned by those Persons set forth in the
Schedule of Exceptions free and clear of all Encumbrances. Shalom has the sole
right to vote and dispose of (or cause the disposition of) all shares of Common
Stock owned by ITI. Shalom is an indirect beneficial owner of 40,000 units of
Class A membership interests of ITI.
(c) Authorization; Enforceability. (i) Each Seller has all
requisite right, power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and
each of the other agreements and instruments referred to herein to be entered
into by such Seller at or prior to the Closing in connection with the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the "Other
Agreements") and to perform its obligations and consummate all of the
transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder, including the sale of the
Shares to be purchased by each Purchaser at the Closing. All limited liability
company proceedings have been taken and all limited liability company
authorizations have been secured which are necessary on the part of ITI to
authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and each of
the Other Agreements.
(ii) This Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered and constitutes, and each of the Other Agreements when executed and
delivered by each of the Sellers, will constitute, legal, valid and binding
obligations of each of the Sellers, enforceable in accordance with their
respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar
laws affecting the enforceability of creditors' rights generally and court
decisions with respect thereto, and the discretion of courts in granting
equitable remedies.
(d) No Conflicts. The execution and delivery by each of the
Sellers of this Agreement, the Other Agreements and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby by each of the Sellers will not
result in any breach or violation of, default under or conflict with any
provision of the organizational documents of ITI, any contract, agreement,
instrument, order, injunction or decree to which either of the Sellers is a
party or otherwise bound or any Applicable Law, and except as set forth in the
Schedule of Exceptions, no Consent from any Governmental Authority or any other
Person is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by
Sellers of this Agreement or the Other Agreements.
(e) Good and Marketable Title to the Shares. ITI has good,
valid and marketable title to the Shares free and clear of all Encumbrances.
Except as set forth on the
2
6
Schedule of Exceptions, no Person has any right of first refusal or similar
rights and no other transfer restrictions exist in connection with the transfer
by ITI of the Shares to the Purchasers as contemplated hereby.
(f) Offering. Subject to the accuracy of the Purchasers'
representations in Section 3 of this Agreement, the offer, sale and transfer of
the Shares constitute transactions exempt from the registration and prospectus
delivery requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act and analogous
provisions of the Applicable Laws of all other jurisdictions, and ITI has
obtained (or is exempt from the requirement to obtain) all qualifications,
permits and other consents required by all Applicable Laws governing the offer,
sale or transfer of securities.
(g) Brokers. No finder, broker, agent, financial advisor or
other intermediary has acted on behalf of either of the Seller or any of their
respective Affiliates in connection with the offer, sale or transfer of the
Shares or the negotiation or consummation of this Agreement or the Other
Agreements or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. All such
negotiations or the consummation of this Agreement or the Other Agreements or
any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby will not give rise to any
valid claim against any of the Sellers, the Company or any of the Purchasers for
any brokerage or finder's commission, fee or similar compensation.
(h) No Undisclosed Liabilities. Except as set forth on the
Schedule of Exceptions or in the SEC Reports, to the knowledge of ITI and to the
best of the actual knowledge of Shalom, neither the Company nor any of the
Company's subsidiaries has any liabilities, obligations, claims, commitments or
debts of any nature, whether due or becoming due, or asserted or unasserted
(whether fixed, accrued, absolute, contingent, secured or otherwise).
(i) SEC Reports. To the knowledge of ITI and to the best of
the actual knowledge of Shalom, the SEC Reports, including without limitation
any financial statements or schedules included therein, at the time filed
contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.
(j) Litigation. There are no Actions pending against either of
the Sellers (or, to the best knowledge of Sellers, any basis therefor or threat
thereof) which would affect the Sellers' obligations hereunder.
(k) Disclosure. This Agreement (including the Schedules and
Exhibits hereto) does not contain any untrue statement of any material fact or
omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
contained herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.
(l) Use of Proceeds. The proceeds received by Sellers in
connection with the sale of the Common Stock to the Purchasers as contemplated
hereby shall be used exclusively for the repayment of the obligations of Sellers
set forth in the Schedule of Exceptions.

(b) Sophistication. Such Purchaser has such knowledge and

bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar laws affecting the enforceability of
creditors' rights generally and court decisions with respect thereto, and the
discretion of courts in granting equitable remedies.

of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
by each Purchaser will not result in any violation of or default under, any

this Agreement or any agreement entered into pursuant hereto, (ii) affect in any
