(d) Disclosure. The Seller acknowledges and agrees that the representations and warranties by the Seller in this Section 4.1 are true and complete in all material respects and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading, under the circumstance under which they were made.

4.2      Representations and Warranties of the Seller with respect to the Company. The Seller represents and warrants to the Purchaser, with respect to the Company, that:

 

(a) Organization and Standing.

The Company does not own any equity interest, directly or indirectly, in any other Person or business enterprise. The Company is qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect upon its assets, properties, financial condition, results of operations or business. The Company has no subsidiaries. Except as set forth in Section 3.2(d) hereof, no corporate proceedings on the part of the Company (including the approval of the Company's Board of Directors or shareholders) are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

At the date of this Agreement, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 18,317,200 shares are issued and outstanding, and 500,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share, none of which is issued and outstanding. Except for the Notes, the Company has no other class or series of equity securities authorized, issued, reserved for issuance or outstanding. There are (x) no outstanding options, offers, warrants, conversion rights, contracts or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase from the Company, or agreements obligating the Company to issue, transfer, or sell (whether formal or informal, written or oral, firm or contingent), shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company (whether debt, equity, or a combination thereof) or obligating the Company to grant, extend, or enter into any such agreement and (y) no agreements or other understandings (whether formal or informal, written or oral, firm or contingent) which require or may require the Company to repurchase any of its Common Stock.

The sale of the Securities to the Purchaser does not obligate the Company to issue any shares of capital stock or other securities to any Person (other than the Purchaser) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities, by agreement with the Company, to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under such securities. The outstanding Common Stock is all duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

The Purchaser and the Seller acknowledge that the Cash Purchase Price was deposited into an escrow account ("Escrow Account") by the Purchaser pursuant to an Escrow Agreement between the Purchaser, the Seller and Guzov Ofsink, LLC (the "Escrow Agent") dated September 15, 2011 (the "Escrow Agreement"), and that $20,000 of the Cash Purchase Price so deposited is considered to be the Deposit under this Section 5.13. The Deposit shall be disbursed from the Escrow Account and paid: (i) to the Seller, if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement fail to close on or before September 30, 2011 (the "Closing Deadline"), provided, however, that such failure to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by the Closing Deadline, as extended, has not been due to a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation of the Seller hereunder or in any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby by the Seller (the "Seller's Breach"), (ii) to the Purchaser together with the balance of the Cash Purchase Price, if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement fail to close because of the Seller's Breach, or (iii) to the Seller together with the balance of the Cash Purchase Price, if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement close. The Deposit shall be held and disbursed pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement and this Agreement, and the Cash Purchase Price shall be held and disbursed pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, this Agreement and the joint instruction letter delivered by the parties under Sections 3.2(f) and 3.3(c) hereof.

 

5.14 Reverse Merger Transaction and Financing. (a) Following the Closing, the Purchaser shall cause the Company to enter into a merger or share exchange agreement ("Exchange Agreement") with the Purchaser pursuant to which the Company will acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of the Purchaser in exchange for the issuance of shares of the Company's Common Stock to the stockholders of the Purchaser ("Reverse Merger Transaction"). The Company shall complete an equity or debt financing with the gross proceeds of at least $1,000,000 (the "Minimum Offering") and up to $4,000,000 (the "Maximum Offering") simultaneously with the Reverse Merger Transaction. At the closing of such financing, the Purchaser shall cause the Company to issue to the Seller shares of Common Stock representing 3% of the Outstanding Shares, as defined below (the "Required Percentage"), after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock in the financing. The Purchaser and the Seller hereby acknowledge that the Company may conduct multiple closings to complete the Maximum Offering. At each such closing of the Maximum Offering, the Purchaser shall cause the Company to issue to the Seller additional shares of Common Stock so that at each such issuance the Seller shall own the Required Percentage.

 

(b) The number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Seller under this Section 5.14 shall be adjusted for any stock dividends, forward and reverse stock splits. For each reverse split conducted by the Company after the Reverse Merger Transaction and prior to the closing of the Maximum Offering, the Purchaser shall convey to the Seller, or cause the Company to issue to the Seller additional shares of common stock so that the shares issued to the Seller under Section 5.14(a) plus such additional shares shall be equal to the Required Percentage. In addition, a warrant (the "Warrant") shall be issued entitling the Seller to purchase, at par value, additional shares of Common Stock at each time that the Company receives any equity or convertible debt investment such that the Seller shall be able to own not less than 3% of the Outstanding Shares at all times up to the point at which the Company has closed the Maximum Offering. The Warrant shall have a net exercise feature as well as a term of five years and buy-in protection and liquidated damages provisions in the event that the Company shall not use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver common stock to the holder of the Warrant within five (5) business days of the exercise. For the purpose of this agreement, "Outstanding Shares" shall mean the total of all the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock plus all Convertible Instruments of the Company. "Convertible Instruments" shall mean all shares of Common Stock into which any convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, convertible debentures or any other instrument that may be converted into or exchanged.
