ELITE PERFORMANCE HOLDING CORP.
SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
S-1 SHARES
THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT made as of the _____ day of __________________, 2023 between ELITE PERFORMANCE HOLDING CORP., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Nevada, (the “Company”), and the undersigned (the “Subscriber” and together with each of the other subscribers in the Offering (defined below), the “Subscribers”).
WHEREAS, the Company desires to sell registered S-1 shares of its common stock (collectively, the “Shares”) (the “Offering”), at a purchase price of $0.10 per Share and per the terms set forth in the Company’s S-1 Registration Statement (as amended) which was originally filed on February 3, 2022 and declared Effective by the SEC on [______________________].
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:
1.1. Subscription for Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Subscriber hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company such aggregate amount of Shares as is set forth upon the signature page hereof; and the Company agrees to sell such Shares to the Subscriber for said purchase price subject to the Company’s right to sell to the Subscriber such lesser number of Shares as the Company may, in its sole discretion, deem necessary or desirable. The purchase price is payable by wire transfer, or certified or bank checks made payable to “ELITE PERFORMANCE HOLDING CORP.” and delivered contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement to the Company’s address set forth in the S-1.
1.2. S-1 Registered Shares. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Shares being purchased herein are shares of common stock registered in the Company’s S-1 (as amended) which was originally filed on February 3, 2022.
1.3. Investment Purpose. The Subscriber represents that the Shares (the “Securities”) are being purchased for his or her or its own account, for investment purposes only and not for distribution or resale to others in contravention of the registration requirements of the 1933 Act. The Subscriber agrees that it will not sell or otherwise transfer the Securities unless they are registered under the 1933 Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available.
1.4. Accredited Investor. The Subscriber represents and warrants that he, she or it is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act, and that it is able to bear the economic risk of any investment in the Shares.
1.5. RISK OF INVESTMENT. THE SUBSCRIBER RECOGNIZES THAT THE PURCHASE OF THE SHARES INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL RISKS DISCUSSED IN THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT. AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY AND THE SHARES MAY RESULT IN THE LOSS OF A SUBSCRIBER’S ENTIRE INVESTMENT.
(a) Risk of Loss of Investment. An investment in the Company and the Shares offered hereby involve a high degree of risk. An investment in the Shares is suitable only for investors who can bear a loss of their entire investment.
(b) Value of Shares is Speculative. The terms of this offering have been determined arbitrarily by the Company. There is no relationship between such terms and the Company’s assets, earnings, book value and/or any other objective criteria of value.
1 |
(c) Dependence on Net Proceeds; No Minimum Offering. The Company is dependent upon the net proceeds of this Offering to fund its operations, as more specifically described elsewhere in this Subscription Agreement. There is no commitment by any person to purchase Shares and there is no assurance that any number of Shares will be sold. Additionally, there is no minimum amount of funds that are required to be raised in order for the Company to accept subscriptions received from investors and the Company’s may terminate this Offering prior to the expiration of the Offering Period. There is no assurance that the Company will sell a sufficient number of Shares in this Offering on a timely basis or that the net proceeds after payment of debts and other obligations will be adequate for the Company’s needs.
(d) Need for Additional Capital; Additional Private Placement. The net proceeds raised by the Company from this Offering will be used immediately to fund the Company’s current operations. The Company will therefore require significant additional financing shortly after this Offering, regardless of the net proceeds received, in order to satisfy its cash requirements. The Company may seek to raise additional funds in private placement transactions. However, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in a timely manner or on terms that will enable it to enter its proposed business on a reasonable basis.
1.6 Reserved.
1.7 Information. The Subscriber acknowledges receipt of this Subscription Agreement and of the S-1 (as amended) which was originally filed on February 3, 2022.
1.8 No Representations or Warranties. The Subscriber hereby represents that, except as expressly set forth in the S-1, no representations or warranties have been made to the Subscriber by the Company or any agent, employee or affiliate of the Company and in entering into this transaction the Subscriber is not relying on any information other than that contained in the S-1 and the results of independent investigation by the Subscriber.
1.9 Tax Consequences. The Subscriber acknowledges that this Offering of the Shares may involve tax consequences and that the contents of the S-1 does not contain tax advice or information. The Subscriber acknowledges that it must retain its own professional advisors to evaluate the tax and other consequences of an investment in the Shares.
1.10 Transfer or Resale. The Subscriber understands that the Shares purchased herein were qualified in the S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933 Act, but that Subscriber will be required by the transfer agent or Subscriber’s brokerage firm to obtain a legal opinion from securities counsel to deposit and sell the Shares.
2.1 Organization and Registration. The Company and its “Subsidiaries” (which for purposes of this Subscription Agreement means any entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, owns capital stock and holds a majority or similar interest) are duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which they were organized, and have the requisite power and authorization to own their properties and to carry on their business as now being conducted.
2.2 Authorization; Enforcement; Validity. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement and to issue the Securities in accordance with the terms of the S-1.
3.1 Closing and Termination of Offering. Provided that the required conditions to closing set forth herein have been satisfied or waived, a closing (the “Initial Closing”) shall take place at the offices of the Company as set forth herein or at such place as may otherwise be agreed to by the Company within 30 days of the receipt of the first cleared subscriber’s funds. The Company may consummate subsequent closings of the Offering, upon mutual agreement only, each of which shall be subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to closing set forth herein, and each of which shall be deemed a “Closing” hereunder.
4.1 The obligation of the Company hereunder to issue and sell Shares to the Subscriber at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Closing, of each of the following conditions, provided that these conditions are for the Company’s sole benefit and may be waived by the Company at any time in its sole discretion by providing the Subscriber with prior written notice thereof:
2 |

4.5 Other Matters. All opinions, certificates and documents and all proceedings related to this Offering shall be in form and content reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its legal counsel.
4.6 Notice. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Subscription Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (a) upon receipt, when delivered personally, (b) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party), or (c) one (1) business day after deposit with an overnight courier service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same. The addresses and facsimile numbers for such communications shall be:
If to the Company at the address set forth in the S-1, Attn. Joey Firestone, CEO.
If to the Subscriber, to its address and email or facsimile number set forth at the end of this Subscription Agreement, or to such other address and/or facsimile number and/or to the attention of such other person as specified by written notice given to the Company five (5) days prior to the effectiveness of such change.
Written confirmation of receipt (a) given by the recipient of such notice, consent, waiver or other communication, (b) mechanically or electronically generated by the sender’s facsimile machine containing the time, date, recipient facsimile number and an image of the first page of such transmission, or (c) provided by an overnight courier service shall be rebuttable evidence of personal service, receipt by facsimile or receipt from an overnight courier service in accordance with clauses (a), (b) or (c) above, respectively.
4.7 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Subscription Agreement supersedes all other prior oral or written agreements between the Subscriber, the Company, their affiliates and persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Subscription Agreement and the instruments referenced herein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor the Subscriber makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters.
4.8 Severability. If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Subscription Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Subscription Agreement in any other jurisdiction.
4.9 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed solely in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Nevada with respect to contracts executed, delivered and to be fully performed therein, without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. The parties hereto hereby expressly and irrevocably agree that any suit or proceeding arising under this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be brought solely in a federal or state court located in the State of Nevada. By its execution hereof, Company and Subscriber hereby expressly and irrevocably submits to the in personam jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the State of Nevada and agree that any process in any such action may be served upon him or her personally, or by certified mail or registered mail upon such party or such agent, return receipt requested, with the same full force and effect as if personally served upon such party in Nevada. The parties hereto each waive any claim that any such jurisdiction is not a convenient forum for any such suit or proceeding and any defense or lack of in personam jurisdiction with respect thereto. In the event of any such action or proceeding, the party prevailing therein shall be entitled to payment from the other party hereto of its reasonable counsel fees and disbursements. This exclusive forum provision is an additional risk for investors residing outside of Nevada because it limits the feasibility of filing suit against the Company in the investor’s state of residence, which would cause increased costs to be incurred by an out-of-state investor, due to the necessity to hire local Nevada counsel to represent the investor in the Nevada courts, and the likelihood that such investor would need to travel to Nevada, possibly for an extended stay, in order to maintain a lawsuit against the Company . However, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce this exclusive forum provision against residents of states other than Nevada. This exclusive forum provision does not include claims by an investor for alleged federal securities law violations arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act.

Subscriber may assign some or all of its rights hereunder without the consent of the Company, provided, however, that any such assignment shall not release the Subscriber from its obligations hereunder unless such obligations are assumed by such assignee and the Company has consented to such assignment and assumption, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
4.12 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Subscription Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person.
4.13 Survival. The representations and warranties of the Company and the Subscriber contained in herein shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months.
