Miesner has had an opportunity to consult with his independent legal, tax and financial advisors, and together with such advisors, have evaluated the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and have independently determined to agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No representation is being or has been made by the Company regarding the tax, financial, legal or other effects to Miesner regarding the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. Miesner is familiar with and understands the business and financial condition, operations and prospects of the Company and Miesner is an accredited investor as that term is defined in Reg. 501of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") is sufficiently informed and sophisticated enough to make a decision regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Miesner has reviewed the Company's filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission that appear on the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
2.06 Purchasing Entirely for Own Account. The shares to be acquired by Miesner will be acquired for investment for Miesner's own accounts, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and Miesner has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. Miesner does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Company's shares of Common Stock.
2.07 Disclosure of Information. Miesner has had an opportunity to discuss the Company's business, management, financial affairs and the terms and conditions of the sale of the shares of Common Stock with the Company's management and has had an opportunity to review the Company's records. Miesner is aware, through his due diligence review of the Company, as the Company's president, that the exchange value for the shares of Common Stock bear no relationship to assets, book value or other established criteria of determining value.
2.08 Accredited Investor. Miesner is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.
2.09 Investment Experience. Miesner has invested in securities of companies with size and structure similar to the Company's and Miesner acknowledges he is able to fend for himself, can bear the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that he is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the shares of Common Stock and in the proposed ongoing operations. Further, Miesner acknowledges that the future success of the Company will depend on the Company's existing management team.
2.10 Purchase of Shares of Common Stock. The Company and Miesner agree and understand that the consummation of this Agreement including the sale of the exchange shares of common stock as contemplated hereby, constitutes the offer and sale of securities under the Securities Act and applicable state statutes. The Company and Miesner agree such transactions shall be consummated in reliance on exemptions from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of such statutes which depend, among other items, on the circumstances under which such securities are acquired.
(a) Miesner acknowledges by signing of this Agreement he acknowledges the following representations and warranties:
(i) That neither the SEC nor the securities commission of any state or other federal agency has made any determination as to the merits of acquiring the shares of Common Stock, and that this transaction involves certain risks.
3
(ii) He has read the Agreement and understands the risks related to the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated.
(iii) He has such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters that he is capable of evaluating each business.
(iv) He has been provided with copies of all materials and information requested by them or their representatives, including any information requested to verify any information furnished (to the extent such information is available or can be obtained without unreasonable effort or expense), and the parties have been provided the opportunity for direct communication regarding the transactions contemplated hereby.
(v) All information which he has provided to the Company or its representatives concerning their suitability and intent to hold shares in Common Stock following the transactions contemplated hereby is complete, accurate, and correct.
(vi) He has not offered or sold any securities of the Company or interest in this Agreement and has no present intention of dividing the shares of Common Stock to be received or the rights under this Agreement with others or of reselling or otherwise disposing of any portion of such stock or rights, either currently or after the passage of a fixed or determinable period of time or on the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any predetermined event or circumstance.
(vii) He understands that the shares of Common Stock have not been registered, but are being acquired by reason of a specific exemption under the Act as well as under certain state statutes for transactions not involving any public offering and that any disposition of the subject shares of Common Stock may, under certain circumstances, be inconsistent with this exemption and may make Miesner an "underwriter," within the meaning of the Securities Act. It is understood that the definition of "underwriter" focuses upon the concept of "distribution" and that any subsequent disposition of the subject shares of Common Stock can only be effected in transactions which are not considered distributions. Generally, the term "distribution" is considered synonymous with "public offering" or any other offer or sale involving general solicitation or general advertising. Under present law, in determining whether a distribution occurs when securities are sold into the public market, under certain circumstances one must consider the availability of public information regarding the issuer, a holding period for the securities sufficient to assure that the persons desiring to sell the securities without registration first bear the economic risk of their investment, and a limitation on the number of securities which the stockholder is permitted to sell and on the manner of sale, thereby reducing the potential impact of the sale on the trading markets. These criteria are set forth specifically in rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.
(viii) Miesner acknowledges that the shares of Common Stock must be held and may not be sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of for value unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Company is not under any obligation to register the shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act, except as set forth in this Agreement. The Company is not under any obligation to make rule 144 available, except as may be expressly agreed to by it in writing
4
in this Agreement, and in the event rule 144 is not available, or some other disclosure exemption may be required before Miesner can sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of such shares of Common Stock without registration under the Securities Act. The Company's registrar and transfer agent will maintain a stop transfer order against the registration or transfer of the shares of Common Stock, and the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock will bear a legend in substantially the following form so restricting the sale of such securities:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT") AND ARE "RESTRICTED SECURITIES" WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED WITHOUT COMPLYING WITH RULE 144 IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION OR OTHER COMPLIANCE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.
(ix) The Company may refuse to register further transfers or resales of the shares of Common Stock in the absence of compliance with Rule 144 unless Miesner furnishes the Company with a "no-action" or interpretive letter from the SEC or an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company stating that the transfer is proper. Further, unless such letter or opinion states that the shares of Common Stock are free of any restrictions under the Securities Act, the Company may refuse to transfer the securities to any transferee who does not furnish in writing to the Company the same representations and agree to the same conditions with respect to such shares of Common Stock as set forth herein. The Company may also refuse to transfer the shares of Common Stock if any circumstances are present reasonably indicating that the transferee's representations are not accurate.
(b) In connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the Company and Miesner shall each file, with the assistance of the other and their respective legal counsel, such notices, applications, reports, or other instruments as may be deemed by them to be necessary or appropriate in an effort to document reliance on such exemptions, and the appropriate regulatory authority in the states where Miesner resides unless an exemption requiring no filing is available in such jurisdictions, all to the extent and in the manner as may be deemed by such parties to be appropriate.
(c) In order to more fully document reliance on the exemptions as provided herein, the Company and Miesner shall execute and deliver to the other, at or prior to the closing, such further letters of representation, acknowledgment, suitability, or the like as the Company or Miesner and its counsel may reasonably request in connection with reliance on exemptions from registration under such securities laws including but not limited to an investment letter.
(d) The Company and Miesner acknowledge that the basis for relying on exemptions from registration or qualifications are factual, depending on the conduct of the various parties, and that no legal opinion or other assurance will be required or given to the effect that the transactions contemplated hereby are in fact exempt from registration or qualification.
5
2.11 Compliance with Rule 144.
(a) The Company will use its best efforts to assure that it is in compliance with Rule 144 of the Act. Further, Miesner acknowledges that he is an affiliate of the Company and can only sell his shares in full compliance with Rule 144 of the Act. This covenant shall survive the closing of this Agreement.
(b) Upon being informed in writing by Miesner that he desires to sell any shares under Rule 144 promulgated under the Act (including any rule adopted in substitution or replacement thereof), the Company will certify in writing to such person that it is compliance with Rule 144 under the Act.
(c) If any certificate representing any such restricted stock is presented to the Company's transfer agent for registration or transfer in connection with any sales theretofore made under rule 144, provided such certificate is duly endorsed for transfer by the appropriate person(s) or accompanied by a separate stock power duly executed by the appropriate person(s) in each case with reasonable assurances that such endorsements are genuine and effective, and is accompanied by an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company and its counsel that such transfer has complied with the requirements of Rule 144, as the case may be, the Company will promptly instruct its transfer agent to register such transfer and to issue one or more new certificates representing such shares to the transferee and, if appropriate under the provisions of Rule 144, as the case may be, free of any stop transfer order or restrictive legend.
2.12 Public Statements. Subject to their respective legal obligations (including requirements of stock exchanges and other similar regulatory bodies), the Company and Miesner shall consult with one another, and use reasonable best efforts to agree upon the text of any press release, before issuing any such press release or otherwise making public statements with respect to the transactions and in making any filing with any federal or state governmental or regulatory agency or with any securities exchange with respect thereto.
2.13 No Representation Regarding Tax Treatment. No representation or warranty is being made by any party to any other regarding the treatment of this transaction for federal or state income taxation. Each party has relied exclusively on its own legal, accounting, and other tax adviser regarding the treatment of this transaction for federal and state income taxes and on no representation, warranty, or assurance from any other party or such other party's legal, accounting, or other adviser.
