EX-10.1 3 microislet_8kex10-1.txt EXHIBIT 10.1 MICROISLET, INC. A NEVADA CORPORATION AMENDED AND RESTATED SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") dated as of October 31, 2003 is entered into between MicroIslet, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), and the purchasers identified on the signature pages hereto (each, a "Purchaser" and collectively, the "Purchasers"). 1. PURCHASE. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Purchaser hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase and the Company hereby agrees to sell and issue the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company (the "Shares") at Fifty Cents ($0.50) per Share, represented by the purchase price indicated below such Purchaser's name on the signature page of this Agreement (the "Purchase Price"). In addition, each Purchaser shall be granted a warrant, in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A (the "Warrant"), to purchase a number of shares (the "Warrant Shares") of the Common Stock of the Company equal to Forty Percent (40%) of the Shares purchased by such Purchaser, at an exercise price of One Dollar ($1.00) per share, exercisable until the third anniversary of the Initial Closing (as defined below). The Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are collectively referred to herein as the "Securities". 2. CLOSING. (a) The initial closing of the sale and purchase of the Securities under this Agreement (the "Initial Closing") shall take place on October 31, 2003, at the offices of Procopio, Cory, Hargreaves & Savitch LLP, 530 B Street, San Diego California, or at such other time and place as the parties may agree. (b) At any time on or before the tenth (10th) day following the Initial Closing, the Company may sell up to an aggregate of Three Million (3,000,000) Shares and associated Warrants, inclusive of Shares sold at the Initial Closing. All such sales shall be made at one or more closings (each of the Initial Closing and such subsequent closings, a "Closing") on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the representations and warranties by such Purchasers as set forth in Section 6. Any Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares sold pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be deemed to be Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares for all purposes under this Agreement, and any purchasers thereof shall be deemed to be Purchasers for all purposes under this Agreement. 3. DELIVERIES. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company will deliver to each Purchaser a certificate representing the number of Shares to be purchased and the Warrant, and each Purchaser will deliver to the Company payment of the Purchase Price in immediately available funds to a bank account to be designated by the Company. 4. INFORMATION. Each Purchaser has been furnished with and has been given the opportunity to review all information regarding the Company which it has requested and which it deemed necessary for an investment in the Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Purchaser has been given access to and has reviewed the Company's Registration Statement on Form SB-2 filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on September 26, 2003 (the "Form SB-2"). Each Purchaser represents that it is aware that all of the Company's material public filings with the SEC since November 14, 2001 are available via the Internet through the web site maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov. Each Purchaser understands that: (i) the Form SB-2 and the prospectus therein do not apply to the offer or sale of the Securities, and are provided for information only, (ii) no federal or state agency has passed upon the Securities or has made any finding or determination concerning the fairness or value of the Securities, and (iii) the books and records of the Company are and will continue to be available for inspection by such Purchaser, and any purchaser representative of such Purchaser, at the Company's address listed above. 5. ILLIQUIDITY OF INVESTMENT; SECURITIES LAWS. Each Purchaser understands that the Securities are not a liquid investment. In particular, each Purchaser understands and acknowledges that: (a) The offering and proposed sale of Securities herein have not been registered or qualified under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") nor under the securities laws of California or any other state. This offering has not been reviewed by the SEC nor has the SEC or any state securities commission or regulatory authority approved, passed upon or endorsed the merits of this offering. The offering and proposed sale of the Securities herein is being made in reliance upon certain securities exemptions, including (i) SEC Regulation D, Rule 506, promulgated under Section 4(2) of the Act, and (ii) the exemption set forth in Section 25102(f) of the California Corporate Securities Law of 1968, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder. (b) It is believed that the offering and proposed sale of the Securities currently qualifies and will continue to qualify under each such claimed exemption. Because the availability of these exemptions is based upon subjective factors, however, and because the criteria for exemption are subject to interpretation by state or federal regulatory agencies and courts, there is no assurance that such exemptions will be available. If and to the extent that suits for rescission are brought for failure to register this offering or for acts or omissions constituting offenses under the Act or the securities laws of any state, the capital and financial condition of the Company could be adversely affected. In addition, the Company could be adversely affected by the need to defend any such private or governmental action even where the Company ultimately is exonerated. 2 (c) Except as set forth in Section 10 below, the Purchasers will have no right to require registration of the Securities offered and sold hereby under the Act. (d) Each Purchaser's right to transfer the Securities offered and sold hereby will be restricted. These restrictions will require a Purchaser to hold the Securities indefinitely, unless the Securities are subsequently registered under the Act and qualified or registered under other applicable state laws, or unless an exemption from such qualification or registration is available and confirmed by an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company. After periods of time described below, there may, but will not necessarily, be an exemption available under Section 4(1) of the Act in accordance with SEC Rule 144. As of the date of Agreement, Rule 144 allows for limited sales of restricted securities pursuant to Section 4(1) of the Act after the securities have been held for one year, provided certain conditions are satisfied, including availability of public information about the issuer, restrictions on the amount of securities sold within a three month period, restrictions on the manner of sale, and the filing of a notice with the SEC. Rule 144 currently provides that the foregoing restrictions do not apply to a person who has held securities for two years and who not been an "affiliate" of the issuer during the three months preceding the sale. The term "affiliate" is defined in Rule 144 as a person who directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the issuer. Executive officers, directors and persons who directly or indirectly own or control over 10% of the stock of an issuer are often deemed to be affiliates. The Company is under no obligation to take steps to ensure the availability of Rule 144, and the Purchasers should not assume that the Securities may be resold at any particular time in the future. 6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Each Purchaser hereby represents and warrants, for itself and not for other Purchasers, as follows: (a) All documents, records, and books pertaining to the investment in the Company and its proposed business, including without limitation the Form SB-2, have been made available to such Purchaser for review. (b) Such Purchaser, or the representatives or advisors of such Purchaser, have had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the officers of the Company, or persons acting on its behalf, concerning the terms and conditions of this investment, and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of such Purchaser or the representatives or advisors of such Purchaser. (c) Such Purchaser has not been presented with or solicited by any leaflet, public promotional meeting, circular, newspaper or magazine article, radio, television or internet advertisement, or any other form of advertising concerning the Securities or the Company. 3 (d) Such Purchaser has received no representations or warranties from the Company, or from any directors, officers, agents, or employees of the Company, and in purchasing the Securities, such Purchaser is relying solely on the investigations made by it. (e) Such Purchaser acknowledges that neither the SEC nor any other state or federal agency has made any determination as to the merits of purchasing the Securities or as to the value of the Securities, and that the purchase of the Securities involves a high degree of risk. (f) Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities for investment and for such Purchaser's own account or in the capacity set forth on the signature page hereof, and not with a view to any distribution thereof. (g) Such Purchaser understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act and qualified or registered under other applicable state laws or unless an exemption from such qualification or registration is available. Such Purchaser agrees that a notation of these restrictions shall be placed upon the Securities and in the appropriate records of the Company. Such Purchaser understands that except as set forth in Section 10, the Company has made no commitment to take actions to register the Securities or to make available the safe harbor of SEC Rule 144. (h) Such Purchaser understands the risks and other considerations related to the purchase by such Purchaser of the Securities, including without limitation the risk factors set forth in the Form SB-2 under the heading "Risk Factors," and such Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that such Purchaser (alone or with the aid of the investment advisors of such Purchaser) is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of purchasing the Securities. (i) Such Purchaser has consulted with and relied entirely on such Purchaser's business, financial, and tax advisors in purchasing the Securities and in evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Company. (j) Such Purchaser is an accredited investor as that term is defined under Regulation D promulgated under the Act, and has provided true and correct information on the Accredited Investor Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Accredited Investor Questionnaire"). 4 (k) Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Company, has the ability to hold the Securities indefinitely, such Purchaser's overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable (such as the Securities) is not disproportionate to its net worth, and such Purchaser has the financial ability to suffer a complete loss of its investment in the Securities. (l) Such Purchaser has all requisite power, authority and capacity to purchase and hold the Securities and to execute, deliver and comply with the terms of this Agreement, and such execution, delivery and compliance do not conflict with or constitute a default under any instruments governing such Purchaser, any law, regulation, or order, or any agreement to which such Purchaser is a party or by which such Purchaser may be bound. (m) Such Purchaser understands the meaning and legal consequences of the representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement, and understands that the Company has relied upon such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, including those with respect to compliance with applicable securities laws, rules and regulations, and such Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its respective directors, officers, agents, attorneys and employees, from and against any and all loss, damage or liability, together with all costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and disbursements), which any of them may incur by reason of any breach of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of such Purchaser contained in this Agreement. All representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement, and the indemnification contained in this Section, shall survive the acceptance of this Agreement. (n) Such Purchaser understands that the Company will require substantially more capital than the amount raised in this offering in order to complete the steps necessary to bring any products to market and generate revenues. Such Purchaser acknowledges that these matters are discussed in more detail in the Form SB-2 under the heading "Plan of Operation." Such Purchaser understands that any additional capital raised by the Company may be on terms similar to or different from the terms of this Agreement, and such terms may be more or less favorable to investors than the terms of this Agreement. (o) If the Purchaser is an entity, such Purchaser represents that it was not formed for the sole purpose of making an investment in the Securities. 5 EACH PURCHASER HEREBY SWEARS AND AFFIRMS THAT THE REPRESENTATIONS AND STATEMENTS OF SUCH PURCHASER CONTAINED HEREIN ARE TRUE AND ACCURATE. 7.

The Company shall issue each Purchaser such additional shares, rounded to the nearest whole share, immediately prior to the filing of the Registration Statement.
