AMERICAN EDUCATION CENTER, INC.

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

 

American Education Center, Inc.

630 FIFTH AVE, STE 2338

NEW YORK, NY, 10111

Attn: Christian Rockefeller, President, Sole Director, Chief Executive Officer, Interim Chief Financial Officer

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

The undersigned subscriber, China Cultural Finance Holdings Company Limited, (the “Subscriber”) desires to purchase 133,333,334 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a price of $0.0075 per share, of American Education Center, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) in consideration for (i) an aggregate price of $1,000,000 (the “Subscription Price”) and (ii) assignment, conveyance and transfer of all Assets (as defined below) to the Company.

 

In connection with this offer to purchase, the Subscriber represents and acknowledges as follows:

 

Section 1. Access to Information.

 

The Company has provided to the Subscriber an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the proposed business of the Company and the Common Stock, and has provided to the Subscriber an opportunity to obtain any and all additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of the information which has been furnished. The Subscriber is satisfied with the Company’s responses to any questions or concerns raised by the Subscriber. The Subscriber hereby acknowledges receipt of all information and materials that the Subscriber deems necessary to evaluate an investment in the Company and the purchase of Common Stock and hereby acknowledges that the Subscriber has fully reviewed and fully understands all such information and materials so requested.

 

Section 2. Subscriber’s Acknowledgments.

 

The Company has disclosed to the Subscriber and the Subscriber understands that:

 

(a) AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY INVOLVES CONSIDERABLE RISKS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH OTHER INVESTMENTS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THAT THE COMPANY IS AN EARLY-STAGE COMPANY, THE COMPANY WILL NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING TO OPERATE IN THE SHORT AND LONG TERM, THE COMPANY IS DEPENDENT ON MANAGEMENT AND OTHER KEY PERSONNEL, THERE IS SIGNIFICANT COMPETITION FOR THE COMPANY’S PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, THE COMPANY HAS LIMITED MARKETING CAPABILITIES AND RESOURCES, THE COMPANY WILL DEPEND ON INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY AND THE COMPANY IS DEPENDENT ON NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES.

(b) The Common Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act of 1933”), or state securities laws and, therefore, the Common Stock cannot be resold or transferred unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws or exemptions from such registration are available.

 

(c) A legend summarizing the restrictions on the transfer of the Common Stock will be placed on the Common Stock to be purchased by the Subscriber.

 

(d) The Common Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance upon an exemption under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 which depends, in part, upon the investment intention of the purchaser. In this connection, the Subscriber understands that it is the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that the statutory basis for such exemption would not be present if the representation of the purchaser merely meant that its present intention was to hold such Common Stock for a short period, such as the capital gains period of the Internal Revenue Code, for a deferred sale, for a market rise, or for a sale if the market does not rise (assuming that a market develops) for a year, or for any other fixed period. The Subscriber realizes that, in the view of the SEC, a purchase now with an intent to resell would represent a purchase with an intent inconsistent with this investment representation, and the SEC might regard such a sale or disposition as a deferred sale to which the exemption is not available.

 

(e) No federal or state agency has made any finding or determination as to the fairness of the investment, nor have they made any recommendation or endorsement concerning the Common Stock.

 

(f) This Subscription Agreement is not revocable by the Subscriber and the Subscriber is submitting this Subscription Agreement intending to be legally bound thereby.

 

(g) The Subscriber acknowledges that he is not entitled to any pre-emptive rights with respect to any shares of the capital stock of the Company, any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for any shares of capital stock of the Company or any security convertible into or exchangeable for any shares of capital stock of the Company, and that his or her investment in the Common Stock could be subject to significant dilution.

 

Section 3. Subscriber Representations.

 

The Subscriber represents and warrants as follows:

 

(a) The Subscriber has full power and authority to enter into, deliver and perform this Subscription Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Subscription Agreement is the valid and binding obligation of the Subscriber, enforceable against him or her in accordance with its terms. The Subscriber has the capacity to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and to perform his or her obligations hereunder.

 

 

 

 

(b) The execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not violate any provision of any agreement or contract to which the Subscriber is a party or by which he or she is bound or any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation of any governmental body having jurisdiction over the Subscriber or any order, judgment or decree applicable to the Subscriber.

 

(c) The Subscriber is acquiring the Common Stock for his or her own account for investment only and not for or with a view to resale or distribution. The Subscriber has not entered into any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or pledge to such person or anyone else the Common Stock which he or she is subscribing to purchase and the Subscriber has no present plans or intentions to enter into any such contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement.

 

(d) The Subscriber can bear the economic risk of losing his or her entire investment in the Common Stock. The Subscriber is prepared to bear the economic risk of this investment for an indefinite time.

 

(e) The overall commitment of the Subscriber to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the Subscriber’s net worth, and an investment in the Common Stock will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive. The Subscriber’s need for diversification in the Subscriber’s investment portfolio will not be impaired by an investment in the Company.

 

(f) The Subscriber has adequate means of satisfying the Subscriber’s short term needs for cash and has no present need for liquidity which would require the Subscriber to sell the Common Stock.

 

(g) The Subscriber has substantial experience in making investment decisions of this type and the Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Subscriber is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Company without the assistance of a purchaser representative.

 

(h) The principal residence of the Subscriber is in the location indicated in the address beneath his or her signature at the end of this Subscription Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated, all communications, contacts and discussions relating to the offering of Common Stock occurred in the location in which the Subscriber maintains his or her residence.

 

(i) The Subscriber is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Section 501(a) of Regulation D, as adopted pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933.

 

Section 4. Reliance on Representations.

 

The Subscriber acknowledges and understands that the Company and its directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives are relying upon the information, representations and agreements contained in this Subscription Agreement and upon any other information which has been furnished by the Subscriber in determining that the Subscriber is a suitable investor and that this investment is duly authorized and in deciding to accept the Subscriber’s subscription for the Common Stock.
