SAVETHE WORLD AIR, INC.

This Securities Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of November 26, 2009, by and between Save The World Air, Inc., a company organized under the laws of the State of Nevada (the “Company”), and the purchasers who execute the Purchaser Signature Page (as hereinafter defined) hereto (each, a “Purchaser”).

A.           The Company desires to obtain funds from each Purchaser in order to provide working capital to fund the Company’s general working capital needs.

 

B.   In order to obtain such funds, the Company is borrowing and in exchange therefore issuing Units (the “Units”), each Unit comprised of (i) an unsecured $25,000 principal amount of 7% Convertible Promissory Note, initially convertible at $.25 per share (as may be adjusted from time to time, the “Conversion Price”) a form of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit A, (each a “Note,”  and collectively, the “Notes”), and (ii) Common Stock Purchase Warrants, initially exercisable into at the $.30 per share, a form of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit B (the “Warrants”).  The Units being acquired herein are being acquired directly from the Company without the benefit of an Escrow Agent or any Placement Agent and there is no minimum required amount to be raised in order for the Company to conduct a Closing and utilize the Purchaser’s funds for a subscription.  The Purchaser understands that the Company has raised over $300,000 of Units on its own, as well as $75,000 of Notes through a placement agent (which agency has since completed and terminated) and, that the  Securities sold are substantially similar to the Units.  The Company is further offering to the Purchaser and potential additional purchasers, additional Units through January 15, 2010.  The common stock, par value $.001 per share of the Company (“Common Stock”) into which the Notes are convertible are sometimes referred to herein as the Conversion Shares, and the shares of Common Stock into which the Warrants are exercisable are sometimes referred to herein as the “Warrant Shares”.  The Notes, Warrants, Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares are sometimes referred to herein as the “Securities”.

 

C.   Purchasers understand that there is a great deal or risk, illiquidity and uncertainty in the Purchase of the Units herein and that no assurance can be made that the Company will complete its business plans or, if completed, that it will be successful in doing so or that the Company will be successful with its other offerings.  Purchasers also understand that the Company is dependant on its ability to raise substantial additional capital and that additional securities such as any one or more of the Securities, or securities at different or senior or more favorable terms, may be sold.

 

D.   The Purchasers are investing herein on an irrevocable basis, without the benefit of an escrow agent or escrow account and without the benefit of any minimum closing amount.  All funds reflecting subscriptions are being deposited immediately directly with the Company in accordance with the wire instructions annexed hereto as Exhibit C.  All funds deposited will become immediately available for use by the Company or may be attacked or attached by creditors upon deposit regardless of whether a closing has occurred or the minimum has been raised.   The Purchaser’s acknowledge and agree that their subscriptions are irrevocable and binding commitments on the part of the Purchaser and that once their funds have been tendered with appropriate subscription documents and the minimum offering amount has been raised in accepted funds and subscriptions, the Company may conduct a Closing without any consent of or notice to Purchasers.   The Company may reject any subscriptions in whole or in part for any reason or for no reason but shall return funds to the extent not closed upon prior to January 15, 2010.   This offering shall be terminated at January 15, 2010 unless earlier terminated by the Company.

NOW THEREFORE, based on the mutual premises and consideration of the parties, it is agreed as follows:

 

1.    PURCHASE AND SALE OF NOTES.

 

1.1   Purchase and Sale.  In reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Company and each Purchaser contained herein and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, at Closing (as hereinafter defined), each Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase, and the Company shall sell and issue to each Purchaser, the Units comprised of Notes and Warrants as set forth on the signature page annexed to the end of this Agreement (the “Purchaser Signature Page”) at a purchase price equal to the principal amount of Notes being acquired (the “Purchase Price”) as set forth in Section 1.2 below.  After the initial minimum amount of Units are sold at a Closing in this offering, the Company may accept additional Purchasers in Closings from time to time without notice to or consent of any investor, until the maximum offering amount (inclusive of the overallotment option) is sold hereby.

 

1.2   Notes and Warrants.  At Closing, the Company will issue and deliver to the Purchaser as listed on the Purchaser Signature Page hereto, the (i) Notes for the principal amount of Notes subscribed for and, (ii)   Warrants to acquire such number  of shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) as equals the principal amount of Notes acquired and accepted divided by the initial Conversion Price of $.25 per share (the “Warrant Shares”), and exercisable at $.30 per share (the “Exercise Price”) commencing six months after the issuance date at any time prior to the three year anniversary of the first Closing of this offering.  The Notes and Warrants comprising the Units are substantially similar to those Notes and Warrants offered and sold to other Purchasers in previously reported offerings of the Company.

 

2.    CLOSING.

 

2.1   Date and Time.

 

(a)           The sale of Notes and Warrants will take place at the discretion of the Company, upon receipt of cleared funds represented by subscriptions accepted by the Company (the “Closing”) subject to the satisfaction of all the parties hereto of their obligations herein.  There is no minimum offering amount to the number of Units that may be sold prior to a closing of the sale of the Units hereby.  The Purchaser(s) shall each submit an executed copy of this Agreement to the Company along with the Purchase Price in advance of Closing, which shall be by the Company at the account set forth in Exhibit C, which account is operated by the Company and is not a segregated account.  The Closing shall take place from time to time at the discretion of the Company at such place as the Company shall agree in writing, on or before January 15, 2010 unless otherwise terminated early by the Company or extended by it for up to 30 days (the “Termination Date”).   In the event that the Company desires to extend the offering period beyond January 15, 2010, consent of each Purchaser shall be required.

 

(b)   There is no minimum offering amount in this private offering and purchasers will not have an opportunity to approve of a Closing or request refund of any moneys held in escrow until the final closing has occurred or offering period has terminated.  In the event that funds are returned if a Closing does not occur on such Purchaser’s investment, no interest shall be paid and only the net amount received by the Company need by repaid.  Purchaser’s acknowledge and agree that their subscriptions are irrevocable and binding commitments on the part of the Purchaser and that once their funds have been tendered to escrow with the appropriate subscription documents and the minimum offering amount has been raised in accepted funds and subscriptions, the Company may conduct a closing and utilize funds therefore.   The Company may reject any subscriptions in whole or in part for any reason or for no reason, or, retains the right to hold the same in escrow for acceptance or rejection at a future closing, until termination of the offering, at which time, any unused subscription funds shall be returned to Purchaser.

5.6   Covenants Relating to Promissory Note.  For so long as any principal or interest is outstanding on the Notes the Company shall not, without consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Notes that will be outstanding immediately after the consummation of taking such action:

 

5.6.1    effect a merger or consolidation, share exchange, asset purchase or similar transaction resulting in a Change of Control (as hereinafter defined) with an entity without causing the assumption of the obligations herein and under the Notes and Warrants by such surviving entity.  The term “Change of Control” shall mean any merger or consolidation, business transaction or similar transaction in which securities possessing more then fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding securities are transferred to a person or persons different from the persons holding those securities immediately prior to such transaction, whether or not the Company or a subsidiary is the surviving corporation or other transaction wherein the Company becomes a material or controlling stockholder of any other corporation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may raise capital in the form of debt, convertible debt or equity financings;

5.7   Conversion of Notes.

 

5.7.1    Upon the conversion of a Note or part thereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all commercially reasonable action, including obtaining and delivering, an opinion of counsel to assure that the Company's transfer agent shall issue stock certificates in the name of Purchaser (or its permitted nominee) or such other persons as designated by Purchaser and in such denominations to be specified at conversion representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.  The Company warrants that no instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to the transfer agent of the Company's Common Stock and that the certificates representing such shares shall contain no legend other than the usual Securities Act restriction from transfer legend.

5.7.3   Delivery of Shares.  In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Unlegended Shares, upon request of a Purchaser, so long as the certificates therefore do not bear a legend and the Purchaser is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company will undertake commercially reasonable efforts cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Unlegended Shares by crediting the account of Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, if such transfer agent participates in such DWAC system.  Such delivery must be made on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date.
