Article 2
METHOD OF SUBSCRIPTION AND ACCEPTANCE BY THE COMPANY
2.1 Method of subscription. It is hereby acknowledged and agreed by the parties hereto that any subscription for Units shall be made by the Subscriber by faxing to the Company at ###-###-####, a completed and executed copy of the signature pages to this Agreement and wiring funds directly to the Company as follows:
Benefiary: The Pulse Beverage Corporation
Address: 12180 Mariposa St, Westminster, Colorado, USA 80234
Bank: JP Morgan Chase
Address: 13260 Orchard Parkway, Westminster, Colorado, USA 80020
2.2 Acceptance of subscription or return of Subscription Price by the Company. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Company will be accepting subscriptions for Units on a first come, first serve, basis. As a consequence the Company, upon acceptance by its Board of all or part of this subscription Agreement (the “Acceptance”), hereby agrees to issue the accepted number of Units, as fully paid and non-assessable, and as consideration for the Subscriber’s subscription, and to promptly refund any excess subscription monies of the Subscription Price of any non-accepted portion of this subscription Agreement. In this regard the Subscriber acknowledges that, although Units may be issued to other subscribers concurrently with the Company’s Acceptance of all or part of this subscription Agreement, there may be other sales of Units by the Company, some or all of which may close before or after the Acceptance herein. The Subscriber further acknowledges that there is a risk that insufficient funds may be raised by the Company upon the Company’s Acceptance of all or part of this subscription Agreement to fund the Company’s objectives and that further closings may not take place after Acceptance herein.
- 4 -
2.3 Use of funds before and after Acceptance. The Company agrees that the Subscription Price will be held by the Company or by the Company’s Counsel for the benefit of the Subscriber to reserve the Subscriber’s subscription and, prior to Acceptance, such funds shall not be considered a loan and shall not bear interest but shall constitute solely a reservation of subscription. The Subscriber shall not demand return of its Subscription Price monies unless the Units have not been issued for a period in excess of 90 calendar days from the date of this subscription and such demand may be fulfilled by Acceptance and delivery of subscribed Units or return of funds at the Company’s sole and absolute discretion. The Subscriber acknowledges that the funds to be raised from all Units are to be employed for the business of the Company in accordance with management’s determination as to the best use of the same for the Company’s business plans. Notwithstanding any disclosure document or offering memorandum or prospectus provided concurrent with this subscription, the Company reserves the right at any time to alter its business plans in accordance with management’s appreciation of the market for the goods and services of the Company and the best use of the Company’s funds to advance its business, whether present or future.
2.4. Securities issued at different prices and characteristics. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Company will issue its securities at different prices which may occur sequentially, from time-to-time, or at the same time and prices in the future may be lower than now. The Company will also issue offerings which have warrants, or other benefits, attached and some offerings which do not. Not all subscribers will receive common shares, or other share classes, of the Company at the same price and such may be issued at vastly different prices to that of the Subscriber. For example, however, without limitation, the Company will or may issue securities at nominal prices as ‘founders shares’ (which may or will constitute millions of securities, as determined solely by the Board) or for developmental assets (which cannot be valued and so may be assigned a nominal value on the Company’s books) or for services or to attract expertise or management talent or other circumstances considered advisable by the Board. Such issuance at different prices are made by the Board in its judgment as to typical structuring for a company such as the Company, to reward and to provide a measure of developmental control, to acquire assets or services which the Board considers necessary or advisable for the Company’s development and success and other such considerations in the Board’s judgment. The Company may or will acquire debt and/or equity financings in the future required or advisable, as determined by the Board, in the course of the Company’s business development. The Subscriber acknowledges these matters, understands that the Subscriber’s investment is not necessarily the most advantageous investment in the Company and authorizes the Board now and hereafter to use its judgment to make such issuances whether such issuances are at a lesser, equal or greater price than that of the Subscriber and whether such is prior to, concurrent with or subsequent to the Subscriber’s investment herein.
2.5 Delivery of Share and Warrant certificates. The Company, promptly after the Acceptance by its Board of all or part of this subscription Agreement, agrees to deliver to the Subscriber a Share certificate and a Warrant certificate for the accepted number of Units purchased by the Subscriber under this subscription Agreement and registered in the name of the Subscriber.
