REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASERS
Each of the Purchasers hereby represents and warrants to the Company as of the date of this Agreement as follows:

4.2 Authority. The Purchaser has the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all requisite actions in respect thereof on the part of the Purchaser and no other proceedings on the part of the Purchaser are necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Purchaser and, assuming this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Company, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (whether applied in a proceeding in equity or at law)).
4.3 Brokers and Finders. The Purchaser has not employed any broker, finder or financial advisor or incurred any liability for any broker’s or finder’s fees or commissions in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
4.4 Investment Intent; Accredited Investor. (a) The Units, Shares and Warrants and Conversion Shares are being acquired by the Purchaser for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof, and each acknowledges and understands that the Shares and Warrants and certificate(s) representing such Conversion Shares will bear a legend in substantially the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES ACT AND CANNOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACTS OR UNLESS EXEMPTIONS FROM REGISTRATION ARE AVAILABLE.
15
(b) The Purchaser, represents and warrants that it is an "accredited investor" as defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Purchaser understands that the Company is selling the Units, Shares and Warrants solely to “accredited investors” and is relying upon the Purchaser's representation hereunder in making the sale. The Purchaser understands that no “Unit” certificate or security instrument will be issued.
(c) The Purchaser understands that the Units, Shares and Warrants are being offered without registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon the private offering exemption contained therein, and that such reliance is based in part on the information herein supplied. For the foregoing reasons and to induce the Company to issue and deliver the securities to the Purchaser, the Purchaser represents and warrants that the information stated herein is true, accurate and complete, and agrees to notify and supply corrective information promptly to the Company as provided above if any of such information becomes inaccurate or incomplete.
(d) The individual signing below on behalf of any entity hereby warrants and represents that he/she is authorized to execute this Agreement on behalf of such entity.
(e) The undersigned understands that the investment in the Units, Shares and Warrants involves a high degree of risk, including the Risk Factors set forth in Section 4.5 below, and represents that he is able to bear the economic risk of the investment in the Units and can afford a complete loss of such investment. The Purchaser has completed any and all due diligence review of the Company, its management, operations and financial condition, understands the risks associated with the purchase of the Units and is a sophisticated investor with knowledge of investments such of the one being undertaken herein.
EACH PURCHASER MUST INITIAL IN THE SPACE PROVIDED TO INDICATE THAT HE/SHE OR IT HAS REVIEWED THE FOREGOING SECTION 4.4.
I HAVE REVIEWED AND UNDERSTAND THIS SECTION 4.4
4.5 Risk Factors. An investment in the securities offered hereby involves a high degree of risk. The following factors, in addition to those discussed elsewhere, should be considered carefully in evaluating our business and us. An investment in the securities is suitable only for those investors who can bear the risk of loss of their entire investment.
16
(a) We do not have financial statements related to our primary intended business of operating theme parks upon which investors may rely. The financial statements available to potential investors are not related to any theme park operations. We do not have any operations related to theme parks and therefore investors may not have adequate information regarding our ability to generate any revenue or income related to the proposed theme park business. Investors should not rely upon the financials statements currently available to estimate or project our ability to operate theme parks in the future. Further we do not have audited financials statements for a recent fiscal period. As a result, investors should be aware that the financial statements made available to investors may not accurately reflect the financial condition of the Company, further, although management believes that the financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally acceptable accounting principles, they lack footnote and other disclosures which may be required wee they reviewed by an independent auditor and independent auditors may require changes to the financial statements..
(b) The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:
*
The Company’s significant and immediate need for working capital;
*
The thin asset base of the Company at this start-up phase;
*
The complexity of the venture in conjunction with its being a new concept;
*
The effect of competition, particularly during down economic times.
*
The threat terrorism and related security needs and costs.
(c) The Company’s success also depends upon economic trends generally, governmental regulation, legislation, and population changes. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect management's predictions only. The Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements.
(d) The financial risks inherent in this investment are extremely high, for the reason that it involves what is essentially a start-up business, both in concept and in management. The concept of aggregating a number of theme parks into a system, while a new concept in its details with a potential for a high return, has all the more a high risk in that its financially profitable development depends not only on successfully coordinating and operating a system of different theme parks, but also in the successful implementation and development of associated, but distinct entertainment products, including food and beverage components, live entertainment venues, electronic and multimedia products. Even though each park is slated to be independently managed and operated and responsible for turning a profit, failure in any one park, or even in any of the related “venues,” c ould seriously impact the financial success of this offering, which relies on the over all success of the venture. The complexity and multifaceted nature of the proposed business poses a very substantial risk both of failure or of slow return on investment, even if eventually successful.
17
(e) Theme Park attendance was down two (2%) in 2002-3 from 2001 levels, partially because a slow economy, but also because of world events. The entire business depends on attracting large concentrations of people on a constant basis, which factor is a condition subject to high risk in the face of terrorist threats which appear now to be a probability for the foreseeable future. The security threat could not only affect attendees, but could also affect the willingness of entertainers to perform. Accordingly the business, as a whole, could seriously suffer if terrorist threats substantially affected attendance, since there are no other, unrelated sources of income.
(f) Under suppressed market conditions suggested above, it would be likely that the large, successful theme parks, such as Disneyland, would have a competitive advantage, not only from the standpoint of greater staying power, but also from the standpoint of being better able to afford to implement measures, such as greater security, to counteract such problems.
(g) Finding affordable amusement and entertainment venues to purchase is determined by the willingness of the owners to sell. The opportunities usually become available in late summer and early fall, and depending on the aggressiveness and motivation of the seller, could take from one to four months or longer to culminate. There is a risk that our financial partner would, for reasons unanticipated at this time, be unable to aide in structuring and finding the proper financial assets to accomplish the acquisition.
(h) Management is the key to a successful transition after acquisition. There exists the risk that the occurrence of an adverse event could result in inadequate management of the acquisition in the early stages, with the result that operations and profitability could be negatively impacted for a period of time.
(i)
The Company will use reasonably commercial efforts to maintain policies of liability, fire and casualty insurance sufficient to provide reasonable coverage for risks arising from accidents, fire, weather, other acts of God, and other potential casualties. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate levels of insurance to protect against suits and judgments in connection with accidents which may occur in the theme parks.
(j)
Competition can affect the prosperity of a venue in a local market, fragmentation of the market can be unprofitable for all. As part of our due diligence, before an acquisition, the current market conditions will be assessed. Other recreational facilities such as movie theatres, sporting events, and local festivals can have a temporary effect on attendance for the duration of the event. The general economic conditions of a geographic area, especially if a large employer leaves the area, will have a major effect on the venue. GFAM will analyze its markets properly so as to price the product with the greatest price/value relationship, and provide a clean, safe, wholesome environment, with unique attractions and entertainment. This strategy will serve to mitigate the risks of competition from larger competitors.
(k)
There are a limited number of theme parks within the United States and Canada that reasonably qualify as acquisition targets of the Company under current economic and market conditions. In a market as fragmented as this one, where GFAM’s target acquisitions are owned, for the most part, by individual enterprises, the availability of good acquisitions that match our criteria in any given operational season is unknown. There is the risk that due to availability, competition for acquisitions from other companies, or sales resistance, GFAM will not find parks to purchase at the price that makes them good investments in a timely manner, thus affecting growth and profits for the Company in the short term.
18
(l)
The increasing efficiency of new technology is expected to drive down the cost of new equipment including in the parks industry. This makes newer parks more effective in their use of financial resources. Additionally, older parks may be more costly to maintain if they are not continually renewed. There is a risk that the cost of maintenance of older acquisitions will drive up the costs too high without significant investment in new plant and equipment, thus decreasing corporate profits and revenues to continue our growth strategy on schedule.
(m)
The Company will require significant additional funds to complete its business plan, especially the acquisition of theme parks. As a result of these financial requirements, and even if the Company were able to issue securities to purchase theme parks, the issuance of additional securities for financing or acquisition purposes could materially dilute present shareholders and subscribers in this Offering.
4.6 Receipt and Understanding of this Agreement; No Reliance on other Information. The Purchaser acknowledges he has received a copy of this Agreement, has read it in its entirety and understands the risks involved in the purchase of the Units. Further, in purchasing the Units, the Purchaser hereby represents and warrants that he is purchasing the Units solely based upon the information provided to him in this Agreement, and has not relied upon any other information.
4.7 Binding Agreement. The Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees, subject to any applicable state securities laws that the subscription and application hereunder are irrevocable, that the Purchaser is not entitled to cancel, terminate or revoke this Agreement and that this Agreement shall survive the death or disability of the Purchaser and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser and his heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and assigns. If the Purchaser is more than one person, the obligations of the Purchaser hereunder shall be joint and several, and the agreements, representations, warranties, and acknowledgments herein contained shall be deemed to be made by and be binding upon each such person and his heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and assigns.
4.8 Compliance with Exchange Act. Purchaser is aware of, and shall comply, to the extent applicable, with Sections 13(d) and Section 16 of the Securities and Exchange Act 1934, as amended and all regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder. Purchaser understands that these regulations may require the Purchaser to file certain statements and/or reports regarding their ownership of the Company's securities and that the failure to so file may subject the Purchaser to civil or criminal penalties.
