CARBON
SCIENCES, INC.
OUR
BUSINESS
We
are
developing a technology to convert the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide (CO2),
into a useful form that will not contribute to global warming. We call this
technology GreenCarbon™ Technology. By eliminating harmful CO2 from human
created sources, such as power plants and industrial factories, management
believes that our technology will provide a partial solution to the problem
of
global warming.
GreenCarbon™
Technology is initially targeted at coal-fired electrical power plants and
fuel
production plants.
We
were
incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 25, 2006, as Zingerang, Inc.
Our
name was changed to Carbon Sciences, Inc. on April 9, 2007. Our principal
executive offices are located at 50 Castilian Dr. Suite C, Santa Barbara,
California 93117, and our telephone number is (805) 690-9090.
Our
fiscal year end is December 31.

TRANSACTIONS
BEING REGISTERED IN THIS PROSPECTUS
ROUND
1
2006
OFFERING*
In
October 2006, we entered into Subscription Agreements with several accredited
investors pursuant to which the investors subscribed to purchase an aggregate
amount of up to $420,000 in shares of our common stock, or a total of 28,000,000
shares.
We
granted “piggy-back” registration rights to the investors in our Round 1 2006
Offering by agreeing to include their shares of common stock in registration
statements (other than on Form S-8, S-4 or similar Forms) subsequently filed
by
us.
ROUND
2
2006 OFFERING*
In
October 2006, we entered into Subscription Agreements with several accredited
investors pursuant to which the investors subscribed to purchase an aggregate
amount of up to $120,000 in shares of our common stock, or a total of 1,200,000
shares.
We
granted “piggy-back” registration rights to the investors in our Round 2 2006
Offering by agreeing to include their shares of common stock in registration
statements (other than on Form S-8, S-4 or similar Forms) subsequently filed
by
us.
ROUND
3
2007 OFFERING*
In
March
2007, we entered into Subscription Agreements with several accredited investors
pursuant to which the investors subscribed to purchase an aggregate amount
of up
to $290,000 in shares of our common stock, or a total of 2,900,000
shares.
We
granted “piggy-back” registration rights to the investors in our Round 3 2007
Offering by agreeing to include their shares of common stock in registration
statements (other than on Form S-8, S-4 or similar Forms) subsequently filed
by
us.
*We
claim
an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act for the private
placement of these securities pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and/or
Regulation D promulgated thereunder since, among other things, the transaction
did not involve a public offering, the investors were accredited investors
and/or qualified institutional buyers, the investors had access to information
about us and their investment, the investors took the securities for investment
and not resale, and we took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of
the
securities.
RISK
FACTORS
This
investment has a high degree of risk. Before you invest you should carefully
consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information
in this prospectus. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business,
operating results and financial condition could be harmed and the value of
our
stock could go down. This means you could lose all or a part of your
investment.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY
OUR
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY DOES NOT AFFORD INVESTORS A SUFFICIENT HISTORY ON
WHICH TO BASE AN INVESTMENT DECISION.
We
were
formed in August 2006 and are currently developing a new technology that has
not
yet gained market acceptance. There can be no assurance that at this time we
will operate profitably or that we will have adequate working capital to meet
our obligations as they become due.
Investors
must consider the risks and difficulties frequently encountered by early stage
companies, particularly in rapidly evolving markets. Such risks include the
following:
|
·
|
need
for acceptance of products;
|
|
·
|
ability
to continue to develop and extend brand
identity;
|
|
·
|
ability
to anticipate and adapt to a competitive
market;
|
|
·
|
ability
to effectively manage rapidly expanding
operations;
|
|
·
|
amount
and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to
expansion of our business, operations, and infrastructure;
and
|
|
·
|
dependence
upon key personnel.
|
We
cannot
be certain that our business strategy will be successful or that we will
successfully address these risks. In the event that we do not successfully
address these risks, our business, prospects, financial condition, and results
of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
WE
MAY BE UNABLE TO MANAGE OUR GROWTH OR IMPLEMENT OUR EXPANSION STRATEGY.
We
may
not be able to expand our product and service offerings, our client base and
markets, or implement the other features of our business strategy at the rate
or
to the extent presently planned. Our projected growth will place a significant
strain on our administrative, operational and financial resources. If we are
unable to successfully manage our future growth, establish and continue to
upgrade our operating and financial control systems, recruit and hire necessary
personnel or effectively manage unexpected expansion difficulties, our financial
condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
WE
MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY DEVELOP AND COMMERCIALIZE OUR TECHNOLOGIES
WHICH
WOULD RESULT IN CONTINUED LOSSES AND MAY REQUIRE US TO CURTAIL OR CEASE
OPERATIONS.
We
are
currently developing our technology and a commercial product. We have not
generated any revenues and we are unable to project when we will achieve
profitability, if at all. As is the case with any new technology, we expect
the
development process to continue. We cannot assure that our engineering resources
will be able to develop the product fast enough to meet market requirements.
There can also be no assurance that our product will gain market acceptance
and
that we will be able to successfully commercialize the technologies. The failure
to successfully develop and commercialize the technologies would result in
continued losses and may require us to curtail or cease operations.
OUR
REVENUES ARE DEPENDENT UPON ACCEPTANCE OF OUR PRODUCTS BY THE MARKET; THE
FAILURE OF WHICH WOULD CAUSE TO CURTAIL OR CEASE OPERATIONS.
We
believe that virtually all of our revenues will come from the sale or license
of
our products. As a result, we will continue to incur substantial operating
losses until such time as we are able to generate revenues from the sale or
license of our products. There can be no assurance that businesses and customers
will adopt our technology and products, or that businesses and prospective
customers will agree to pay for or license our products. In the event that
we
are not able to significantly increase the number of customers that purchase
or
license our products, or if we are unable to charge the necessary prices or
license fees, our financial condition and results of operations will be
materially and adversely affected.
WE
DO NOT MAINTAIN THEFT OR CASUALTY INSURANCE, AND ONLY MAINTAIN MODEST LIABILITY
AND PROPERTY INSURANCE COVERAGE AND THEREFORE WE COULD INCUR LOSSES AS A RESULT
OF AN UNINSURED LOSS.
We
cannot
assure that we will not incur uninsured liabilities and losses as a result
of
the conduct of our business. Any such uninsured or insured loss or liability
could have a material adverse affect on our results of operations.
IF
WE LOSE KEY EMPLOYEES AND CONSULTANTS OR ARE UNABLE TO ATTRACT OR RETAIN
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL, OUR BUSINESS COULD SUFFER.
Our
success is highly dependent on our ability to attract and retain qualified
scientific, engineering and management personnel. We are highly dependent on
our
management, including Mr. Derek McLeish, who has been critical to the
development of our technology and business. The loss of the services of Mr.
McLeish could have a material adverse effect on our operations. We do not have
an employment agreement with Mr. McLeish. Accordingly, there can be no assurance
that he will remain associated with us. His efforts will be critical to us
as we
continue to develop our technology and as we attempt to transition from a
development stage company to a company with commercialized products and
services. If we were to lose Mr. McLeish, or any other key employees or
consultants, we may experience difficulties in competing effectively, developing
our technology and implementing our business strategies.
THE
LOSS OF STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS USED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR PRODUCTS AND
TECHNOLOGY COULD IMPEDE OUR ABILITY TO COMPLETE OUR PRODUCT AND RESULT IN A
MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT CAUSING OUR BUSINESS TO SUFFER.
We
may
rely on strategic relationships with technology development partners to provide
technology and operating systems. A loss of these relationships for any reason
could cause us to experience difficulties in completing the development of
our
product and implementing our business strategy. There can be no assurance that
we could establish other relationships of adequate expertise in a timely manner
or at all.
THE
OFFERING PRICE HAS BEEN ARBITRARILY DETERMINED.
The
offering price of the Shares has been determined arbitrarily by the Company.
It
does not necessarily bear any relationship to the Company’s assets value, net
worth, revenues or other established criteria of value, and should not be
considered indicative of the actual value of the Shares. In addition, investors
in this Offering will sustain immediate substantial dilution per share based
upon net tangible book value per share.
THERE
ARE RESTRICTIONS ON THE TRANSFERABILITY OF THE SECURITIES.
Until
registered for resale, investors must bear the economic risk of an investment
in
the Shares, for an indefinite period of time. Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act (“Rule 144”), which provides for an exemption from the
registration requirements under the Securities Act under certain conditions,
requires, among other conditions, a one-year holding period prior to the resale
(in limited amounts) of securities acquired in a non-public offering without
having to satisfy the registration requirements under the Securities Act. There
can be no assurance that the Company will fulfill any reporting requirements
in
the future under the Exchange Act or disseminate to the public any current
financial or other information concerning the Company, as is required by Rule
144 as part of the conditions of its availability.
OUR
PATENT APPLICATION FOR OUR TECHNOLOGY IS PENDING AND THERE IS NO ASSURANCE
THAT
THIS APPLICATION WILL BE GRANTED. FAILURE TO OBTAIN THE PATENT FOR OUR
APPLICATION COULD PREVENT US FROM SECURING ROYALTY PAYMENTS IN THE FUTURE,
IF
APPROPRIATE.
We
have
filed a patent to protect the intellectual property rights for “Fine Particle
Carbon Dioxide Transformation and Sequestration”. To date our patent application
has not been granted. We cannot be certain that this patent will be granted
nor
can we be certain that other companies have not filed for patent protection
for
this technology before us. Even if we are granted patent protection for our
technology, there is no assurance that we will be in a position to enforce
our
patent rights. Failure to be granted patent protection for our technology could
result in greater competition or in limited royalty payments. This could result
in inadequate revenue and cause us to cease operations.
OUR
CURRENT AND POTENTIAL COMPETITORS, SOME OF WHOM HAVE GREATER RESOURCES THAN
WE
DO, MAY DEVELOP PRODUCTS AND TECHNOLOGIES THAT MAY CAUSE DEMAND FOR, AND THE
PRICES OF, OUR PRODUCTS TO DECLINE.
While
we
are not aware of any direct competitors offering commercial products to convert
CO2 from coal-fired power plants to usable carbonates, there are various
competitive offering such as underground carbon sequestration systems. Our
potential customers may choose to buy or build their own carbon capture and
sequestration systems instead of purchasing our carbon transformation system
and
technology. Furthermore, our competitors may combine with each other, and other
companies may enter our markets by acquiring or entering into strategic
relationships with our competitors. Current and potential competitors have
established, or may establish, cooperative relationships among themselves or
with third parties to increase the abilities of their products to address the
needs of our prospective customers.
Many
of
our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories,
significantly greater financial, technical, product development and marketing
resources, greater name recognition and larger customer bases than we do. Our
present or future competitors may be able to develop products comparable or
superior to those we offer, adapt more quickly than we do to new technologies,
evolving industry trends and standards or customer requirements, or devote
greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products
than
we do. Accordingly, we may not be able to compete effectively in our markets,
competition may intensify and future competition may harm our
business.
OUR
BUSINESS IS DEPENDENT ON GOVERNMENT AND INTERNATIONAL REGULATIONS MANDATING
THE
REDUCTION OF CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS.
We
believe that greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, contribute to global
warming and climate change. New laws and regulations are currently being drawn
up that may affect our industry and the industry of our customers. There is
no
assurance that new governmental regulations will be favorable to our business
model and business plan. There is no assurance that mandated reduction in carbon
emissions will provide enough of an incentive to use our new technology as
opposed to other competitive products. The increasing use of alternative energy
technology such as solar power, nuclear power, wind power, fuel cells and other
energy sources that do not emit greenhouses gases will limit the market for
our
technology.
WE
ARE CONTROLLED BY CURRENT OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND PRINCIPAL
STOCKHOLDERS.
Our
directors, executive officers and principal stockholders and their affiliates
beneficially own approximately 41.85% of outstanding shares of common stock.
Accordingly, our executive officers, directors, principal stockholders and
certain of their affiliates will have the ability to control the election of
our
Board of Directors and the outcome of issues submitted to our
stockholders.
RISKS
RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK
THERE
IS NO PUBLIC (TRADING) MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AND THERE IS NO ASSURANCE
THAT THE COMMON STOCK WILL EVER TRADE ON A RECOGNIZED EXCHANGE OR DEALER’S
NETWORK; THEREFORE, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SELL YOUR
SHARES.
There
is
no established public trading market for our securities. Hence, there is no
central place, such as a stock exchange or electronic trading system, to resell
your common stock. If you want to resell your shares, you will have to locate
a
buyer and negotiate your own sale. It is our plan to utilize a market maker
who
will apply to have our common stock quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin
Board in the United States. Our shares are not and have not been listed or
quoted on any exchange or quotation system. There can be no assurance that
a
market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with the National
Association of Securities Dealers, which operates the Over-the-Counter Bulletin
Board, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation
will be approved or that a regular trading market will develop or that if
developed, will be sustained. In the absence of a trading market, an investor
will be unable to liquidate his investment except by private sale.
SHOULD
OUR STOCK BECOME LISTED ON THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD, IF WE FAIL TO REMAIN CURRENT
ON OUR REPORTING REQUIREMENTS, WE COULD BE REMOVED FROM THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD
WHICH WOULD LIMIT THE ABILITY OF BROKER-DEALERS TO SELL OUR SECURITIES AND
THE
ABILITY OF STOCKHOLDERS TO SELL THEIR SECURITIES IN THE SECONDARY
MARKET.
Companies
trading on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, such as us we are seeking to
become, must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section
13,
in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board.
If we
fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from
the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities
could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers
to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities
in the secondary market. In addition, we may be unable to get re-listed on
the
OTC Bulletin Board, which may have an adverse material effect on our
Company.
ONCE
PUBLICLY TRADING, THE APPLICATION OF THE "PENNY STOCK" RULES COULD ADVERSELY
AFFECT THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON SHARES AND INCREASE YOUR TRANSACTION
COSTS
TO SELL THOSE SHARES.
The
Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes
the
definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity
security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an
exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.
For
any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules
require:
·
|
that
a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in
penny
stocks; and
|
·
|
the
broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to
the
transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny
stock to
be purchased.
|
In
order
to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker
or
dealer must:
·
|
obtain
financial information and investment experience objectives of the
person;
and
|
·
|
make
a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks
are
suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge
and
experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks
of
transactions in penny stocks.
|
The
broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock,
a
disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock
market, which, in highlight form:
·
|
sets
forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability
determination; and
|
·
|
that
the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the
investor prior to the transaction.
|
Generally,
brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to
the
"penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose
of
our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our
stock.
Disclosure
also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public
offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both
the
broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the
securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of
fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent
disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account
and
information on the limited market in penny stocks.

MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Some
of
the information in this prospectus contains forward-looking statements that
involve substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements
by forward-looking words such as "may," "expect," "anticipate," "believe,"
"estimate" and "continue," or similar words. You should read statements that
contain these words carefully because they:
·
|
discuss
our future expectations;
|
·
|
contain
projections of our future results of operations or of our financial
condition; and
|
·
|
state
other "forward-looking"
information.
|
We
believe it is important to communicate our expectations. However, there may
be
events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or over which
we
have no control. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could
differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements
as
a result of certain factors, including those set forth under "Risk Factors,"
"Business" and elsewhere in this prospectus. See "Risk Factors."
OVERVIEW
We
are
developing a technology to convert the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide (CO2),
into a useful form that will not contribute to global warming. We call this
technology GreenCarbon™ Technology. By eliminating harmful CO2 from human
created sources, such as power plants and industrial factories, management
believes that our technology will provide a partial solution to the problem
of
global warming.
GreenCarbon™
Technology is initially targeted at coal-fired electrical power plants and
fuel
production plants.
We
were
incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 25, 2006, as Zingerang, Inc.
Our
name was changed to Carbon Sciences, Inc. on April 9, 2007. Our principal
executive offices are located at 50 Castilian Dr. Suite C, Santa Barbara,
California 93117, and our telephone number is (805) 690-9090. Our fiscal year
end is December 31.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
are
based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The
preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues
and
expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On
an
ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to impairment
of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, deferred tax assets and
fair value computation using the Black Scholes option pricing model. We base
our
estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions, such as
the
trading value of our common stock and estimated future undiscounted cash flows,
that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which
form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results
may
differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however,
we believe that our estimates, including those for the above-described items,
are reasonable.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenue on product sales is
recognized when persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists, such as when a purchase order or contract is
received from the customer, the selling price is fixed, title to the goods
has changed and there is a reasonable assurance of collection of the
sales proceeds. We obtain written purchase authorizations from
our customers for a specified amount of product at a specified price
and consider delivery to have occurred at the time
of shipment. Revenue is recognized at shipment and we
record a reserve for estimated sales returns, which
is reflected as a reduction of revenue at the time of revenue recognition.
We defer revenue on products sold directly to the consumer with a fifteen day
right of return. Revenue is recognized upon the expiration of the right of
return.
Revenues
from research and development activities relating to firm fixed-price
contracts are generally recognized on the percentage-of-completion
method of accounting as costs are incurred (cost-to-cost basis).
Revenues from research and development activities relating to
cost-plus-fee contracts include costs incurred plus a portion of
estimated fees or profits based on the relationship of costs incurred to
total estimated costs. Contract costs include all direct
material and labor costs and an allocation of allowable
indirect costs as defined by each contract, as periodically adjusted to
reflect revised agreed upon rates. These rates are subject to audit by the
other party.
Use of Estimates
In
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States,
management utilizes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions relate to
recording net revenue, collectibility of accounts receivable, useful lives
and
impairment of tangible and intangible assets, accruals, income taxes, inventory
realization, stock-based compensation expense and other factors. Management
believes it has exercised reasonable judgment in deriving these estimates.
Consequently, a change in conditions could affect these estimates.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company's cash, cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable and accounts
payable are stated at cost which approximates fair value due to the short-term
nature of these instruments.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued two FASB Staff
Positions - FSP FAS 109-1, Application of FASB Statement 109 "Accounting for
Income Taxes" to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided
by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, and FSP FAS 109-2 Accounting and
Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within
the
American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. Neither of these affected the Company as
it
does not participate in the related activities.
In
May
2005, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections.” This new standard replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting
Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim
Financial Statements,” and represents another step in the FASB’s goal to
converge its standards with those issued by the IASB. Among other changes,
Statement 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be
applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented
on
the new accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. Statement
154
also provides that (1) a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a
long-lived non-financial asset be accounted for as a change in estimate
(prospectively) that was effected by a change in accounting principle, and
(2)
correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed
a “restatement.” The new standard is effective for accounting changes and
correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.
Early adoption of this standard is permitted for accounting changes and
correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after June 1, 2005. The
Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of Statement 154 and does
not
believe the impact will be significant to the Company's overall results of
operations or financial position
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of June 30, 2007, we had $206,135 of working capital as compared to $109,578
from inception (August 25, 2006) through December 31, 2006. This increase of
$96,557 was due primarily to private placements of shares of common stock
pursuant to Subscription Agreements which we entered into with accredited and/or
institutional buyers.
Cash
flow
used in operating activities was $480,697 for six months ended June 30, 2007,
as
compared to cash used of $446,674 from inception (August 25, 2006) through
December 31, 2006. This increase of $34,023was primarily attributable to a
increase in professional fees and salaries.
Cash
used
in investing activities was $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as
compared to cash used of $17,559 from inception (August 25, 2006) through
December 31, 2006. The decrease of cash used in investing activities was
primarily due to having sufficient office equipment .
Cash
provided from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2007
was
$637,500 as compared to $539,375 from inception (August 25, 2006) through
December 31, 2006. From inception to June 30, 2007, we received a total of
$1,176,875 from the sale of shares of our common stock through private
placements of shares of common stock pursuant to Subscription Agreements which
we entered into with accredited and/or institutional buyers.
Our
financial statements as of June 30, 2007 have been prepared under the assumption
that we will continue as a going concern from inception (August 25, 2006)
through June 30, 2007. Our independent registered public accounting firm has
issued their report dated January 22, 2007 that included an explanatory
paragraph expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going
concern without additional capital becoming available. Our ability to continue
as a going concern ultimately is dependent on our ability to generate a profit
which is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional equity or debt
financing, attain further operating efficiencies and, ultimately, to achieve
profitable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Financing
On
September 18, 2006, we issued an aggregate of 99,500,000 shares of our common
stock, par value $.001 per share, to the founders of our company, including
our
Chief Executive Officer, for an aggregate purchase price of $24,875.
In
October 2006, we entered into Subscription Agreements with several accredited
investors pursuant to which the investors subscribed to purchase an aggregate
amount of up to $420,000 in shares of our common stock, or a total of 28,000,000
shares.
In
October 2006, we entered into Subscription Agreements with several accredited
investors pursuant to which the investors subscribed to purchase an aggregate
amount of up to $120,000 in shares of our common stock, or a total of 1,200,000
shares.
In
March
2007, we entered into Subscription Agreements with several accredited investors
pursuant to which the investors subscribed to purchase an aggregate amount
of up
to $290,000 in shares of our common stock, or a total of 2,900,000
shares.
In
April
2007, we entered into Subscription Agreements with several accredited investors
pursuant to which the investors subscribed to purchase an aggregate amount
of up
to $1,594,200 in shares of our common stock, or a total of 15,942,000
shares.

Industry
Overview
The
electrical power industry is currently pursuing ways to either convert or
capture and store carbon dioxide in the campaign against global warming. At
this
time, there are few known technologies for converting CO2 that are commercially
viable.
Carbon
dioxide is believed to be the principal "greenhouse" gas because as it
concentrates in the atmosphere it creates a blanket-like effect that many
scientists believe is warming the earth. While carbon dioxide is released in
the
burning of all fossil fuels, coal produces greater amounts of carbon dioxide
because of the fuel's high carbon content. It is likely that coal, which
accounts for half of the country's electricity production, will remain the
fuel
of choice to produce electricity in the United States because it is relatively
cheap and abundant. But if carbon limits are imposed to address climate change,
that could change unless technologies or programs are developed to either
convert or capture and store the tens of millions of tons of carbon dioxide
that
now spew from coal-burning smokestacks into the atmosphere.
Carbon
dioxide “capture and store” programs currently being considered by the
electrical power industry rely on sequestration. Geo-sequestration or geological
storage involves injecting carbon dioxide directly into underground geological
formations. Declining oil fields, saline aquifers, and unmineable coal seams
have been suggested as storage sites.
We
believe that the carbon “capture and store” method will not be a viable solution
to the problem of CO2 as it is simply not practical to capture and deposit
in
deep geological formations several million tons of carbon a year. Instead,
a
technology solution must be applied at the source. We believe that
GreenCarbon™ Technology will be the solution.
Research
and Development
We
have
retained a number of scientific advisors and technical consultants to help
us
develop and commercialize our GreenCarbon™ Technology and system. Our next step
is to develop a research and development plan that will result in the
production of a commercially viable GreenCarbon™ Technology system.
Marketing
Strategy
Once
we
have completed our product development, we intend to create a
favorable market environment to sell our GreenCarbon™ Technology
system. We intend to enhance, promote and support the entry of our
GreenCarbon™ Technology system into the marketplace. Our goal is to
position GreenCarbon™ Technology as a commercially viable method of
converting CO2.
Our
marketing communications strategy will include media and analyst communication,
on-line promotions, blogs, and selected trade show attendance. We will be using
every opportunity to place our brand in general and industry specific
publications, using press releases, white papers and authored articles and
Internet publications.
Backlog
of Orders
There
are
currently no orders for sales at this time.
Government
Contracts
There
are
no government contracts at this time.
Compliance with Environmental Laws and Regulations
Our
operations are subject to local, state and federal laws and regulations
governing
environmental quality and pollution control
.
To
date, our compliance with these regulations has had no material effect on our
operations, capital, earnings, or competitive position, and the cost of such
compliance has not been material. We are unable to assess or predict at this
time what effect additional regulations or legislation could have on our
activities.
Manufacturing
and Distribution
We
currently do not have any mechanism for the manufacture and distribution of
products using our
GreenCarbon™
,
nor do
we have adequate financing to undertake these efforts on our own. We intend
to
outsource manufacturing and distribution efforts to existing manufacturing
and
distributions firms.
Intellectual
Property
We
have
filed a patent application
with
the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
to
protect the intellectual property rights for “Fine Particle Carbon Dioxide
Transformation and Sequestration”. The inventor listed on the patent application
is Michael D. Wyrsta, the Company’s Chief Scientific Advisor. The Company is
listed as the assignee.
Competition
The
carbon capture and storage industry is a fairy new industry.
We
are
not aware of any CO2 emitter, such as power plants, or technology vendors
offering a commercial product or process to transform CO2 from the source into
mineral carbonate products.
The most
common approach is to bury the CO2 in underground rock formations or the ocean
floor. For example, a major research project examining the geological
sequestration of carbon dioxide is currently being performed at an oil field
at
Weyburn
in
south-eastern
Saskatchewan
.
In the
North Sea, Norway's Statoil natural-gas platform Sleipner strips carbon dioxide
out of the natural gas with amine solvents and disposes of this carbon dioxide
by geological sequestration. As of April 2005,
BP
is
considering a trial of large-scale sequestration of carbon dioxide stripped
from
power plant emissions in the Miller oilfield as its reserves are depleted.
Currently, the United States government has approved the construction of what
is
claimed to be the world's first integrated carbon capture and storage power
plant,
FutureGen
.
However, management believes that this does not address the problem of the
existing power plants.
Technology
Development Partners
We
may
enter into technology development partnerships with other
companies.
Our
principal office is located at 50 Castilian Dr. Suite C, Santa Barbara,
California 93117. We lease approximately 1700 square feet, with an annual cost
of $12,000. The term of the lease is month to month.
We
are
not currently a party to any legal proceedings. There has been no bankruptcy,
receivership or similar proceedings.
Employees
As
of the
date of this prospectus, we had one (1) employee. We have not experienced any
work stoppages and we consider relations with our employee to be
good.

power with respect to all shares of common stock beneficially owned by
them.
A
person
is deemed to be the beneficial owner of securities that can be acquired by
him
within 60 days from July 16, 2007 upon the exercise of options, warrants or
convertible securities. Each beneficial owner's percentage ownership is
determined by assuming that options, warrants or convertible securities that
are
held by him, but not those held by any other person, and which are exercisable
within 60 days of July 16, 2007 have been exercised and converted.

DESCRIPTION
OF SECURITIES
Our
Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorize the issuance of 500,000,000
shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share. Holders of shares of common
stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters to be voted on
by
the stockholders. Holders of common stock have cumulative voting rights. Holders
of shares of common stock are entitled to share ratably in dividends, if any,
as
may be declared, from time to time by the Board of Directors in its discretion,
from funds legally available therefor. In the event of a liquidation,
dissolution, or winding up of our company, the holders of shares of common
stock are entitled to share pro rata all assets remaining after payment in
full
of all liabilities. Holders of common stock have no preemptive or other
subscription rights, and there are no conversion rights or redemption or sinking
fund provisions with respect to such shares.
COMMISSION'S
POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Under
the
Nevada General Corporation Law and our Articles of Incorporation, as amended,
and our Bylaws, our directors will have no personal liability to us or our
stockholders for monetary damages incurred as the result of the breach or
alleged breach by a director of his "duty of care." This provision does not
apply to the directors' (i) acts or omissions that involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law, (ii) acts or omissions
that a director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the corporation
or its stockholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of
the
director, (iii) approval of any transaction from which a director derives an
improper personal benefit, (iv) acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard
for the director's duty to the corporation or its stockholders in circumstances
in which the director was aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary
course of performing a director's duties, of a risk of serious injury to the
corporation or its stockholders, (v) acts or omissions that constituted an
unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director's
duty to the corporation or its stockholders, or (vi) approval of an unlawful
dividend, distribution, stock repurchase or redemption. This provision would
generally absolve directors of personal liability for negligence in the
performance of duties, including gross negligence.
The
effect of this provision in our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws is to
eliminate the rights of our Company and our stockholders (through stockholder's
derivative suits on behalf of our Company) to recover monetary damages against
a
director for breach of his fiduciary duty of care as a director (including
breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in
the
situations described in clauses (i) through (vi) above. This provision does
not
limit nor eliminate the rights of our Company or any stockholder to seek
non-monetary relief such as an injunction or rescission in the event of a breach
of a director's duty of care. In addition, our Bylaws provide that if the Nevada
General Corporation Law is amended to authorize the future elimination or
limitation of the liability of a director, then the liability of the directors
will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the law, as
amended. The Nevada General Corporation Law grants corporations the right to
indemnify their directors, officers, employees and agents in accordance with
applicable law.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933
(the
"Act" or "Securities Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or persons
controlling our Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
we
have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
The
selling stockholders and any of their respective pledgees, donees, assignees
and
other successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their
shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on
which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be
at
fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more
of
the following methods when selling shares:
·
|
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer
solicits the purchaser;
|
·
|
block
trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares
as agent
but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to
facilitate the transaction;
|
·
|
purchases
by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for
its
account;
|
·
|
an
exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
exchange;
|
·
|
privately-negotiated
transactions;
|
·
|
broker-dealers
may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number
of such
shares at a stipulated price per
share;
|
·
|
a
combination of any such methods of sale;
and
|
·
|
any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable
law.
|
The
selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities
Act, if available, or Regulation S, rather than under this prospectus. The
selling stockholders shall have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept
any purchase offer or make any sale of shares if they deem the purchase price
to
be unsatisfactory at any particular time.
The
selling stockholders or their respective pledgees, donees, transferees or other
successors in interest, may also sell the shares directly to market makers
acting as principals and/or broker-dealers acting as agents for themselves
or
their customers. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of
discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders and/or
the
purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom
they sell as principal or both, which compensation as to a particular
broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions. Market makers and
block purchasers purchasing the shares will do so for their own account and
at
their own risk. It is possible that a selling stockholder will attempt to sell
shares of common stock in block transactions to market makers or other
purchasers at a price per share which may be below the then market price. The
selling stockholders cannot assure that all or any of the shares offered in
this
prospectus will be sold by the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders
and any brokers, dealers or agents, upon effecting the sale of any of the shares
offered in this prospectus, may be deemed to be "underwriters" as that term
is
defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, or the rules and regulations under such acts. In such
event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit
on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting
commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
We
are
required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the
shares, including fees and disbursements of counsel to the selling stockholders,
but excluding brokerage commissions or underwriter discounts.
The
selling stockholders, alternatively, may sell all or any part of the shares
offered in this prospectus through an underwriter. No selling stockholder has
entered into any agreement with a prospective underwriter and there is no
assurance that any such agreement will be entered into.
The
selling stockholders may pledge their shares to their brokers under the margin
provisions of customer agreements. If a selling stockholders defaults on a
margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged
shares. The selling stockholders and any other persons participating in the
sale
or distribution of the shares will be subject to applicable provisions of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations
under
such act, including, without limitation, Regulation M. These provisions may
restrict certain activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales
of
any of the shares by, the selling stockholders or any other such person. In
the
event that the selling stockholders are deemed affiliated purchasers or
distribution participants within the meaning of Regulation M, then the selling
stockholders will not be permitted to engage in short sales of common stock.
Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities
are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and certain other
activities with respect to such securities for a specified period of time prior
to the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions
or
exemptions.
We
have
agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders, or their transferees or assignees,
against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act
of
1933, as amended, or to contribute to payments the selling stockholders or
their
respective pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, may
be
required to make in respect of such liabilities.
If
the
selling stockholders notify us that they have a material arrangement with a
broker-dealer for the resale of the common stock, then we would be required
to
amend the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and file
a
prospectus supplement to describe the agreements between the selling
stockholders and the broker-dealer.
PENNY
STOCK
The
Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes
the
definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity
security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an
exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.
For
any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules
require:
·
|
that
a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in
penny
stocks; and
|
·
|
the
broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to
the
transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny
stock to
be purchased.
|
In
order
to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker
or
dealer must
·
|
obtain
financial information and investment experience objectives of the
person;
and
|
·
|
make
a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks
are
suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge
and
experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks
of
transactions in penny stocks.
|
The
broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock,
a
disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock
market, which, in highlight form:
·
|
sets
forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability
determination; and
|
|
that
the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the
investor prior to the transaction.
|
Disclosure
also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public
offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both
the
broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the
securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of
fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent
disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account
and
information on the limited market in penny stocks.
SELLING
STOCKHOLDERS
The
table
below sets forth information concerning the resale of the shares of common
stock
by the selling stockholders , which we previously issued to the selling
stockholders . We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the common
stock by the selling stockholders. Assuming all the shares registered below
are
sold by the selling stockholders, none of the selling stockholders will continue
to own any shares of our common stock.
The
following table also sets forth the name of each person who is offering the
resale of shares of common stock by this prospectus, the number of shares of
common stock beneficially owned by each person, the number of shares of common
stock that may be sold in this offering and the number of shares of common
stock
each person will own after the offering, assuming they sell all of the shares
offered.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the
Board of Directors
Zingerang,
Inc.
(A
Development Stage Company)
Santa
Barbara, California
We
have
audited the accompanying balance sheet of Zingerang, Inc. (a development
stage
company) as of December 31, 2006, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from inception on August 25,
2006 through December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining,
on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In
our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Zingerang, Inc. (a development
stage company) as of December 31, 2006, and the results of its operations
and
their cash flows for the period from inception on August 25, 2006 through
December 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial
statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations and has
no
current revenues
.
This
raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described
in
Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ZINGERANG,
INC.
(A
Development Stage Company)
NOTES
TO
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER
31, 2006
1. ORGANIZATION
AND LINE OF BUSINESS
Organization
Zingerang,
Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Nevada on August 25,
2006. The Company, based in Santa Barbara, California, began
operations on September 1, 2006 to develop and market mobile messaging
technology.
Line
of Business
The
Company is developing mobile messaging services for both businesses and
consumers. These mobile services make it easy to send and receive important
information in real time across wired and wireless devices.
2. SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This
summary of significant accounting policies of Zingerang, Inc. is presented
to
assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial
statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is
responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies
conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of
America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial
statements.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis
of
accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets
and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The
accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might
result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The
Company has not generated any revenue as of December 31, 2006, and has negative
cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to
continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern
basis
is dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusion. As
discussed in Note 3, the Company has obtained funds from its shareholders
since
its inception through December 31, 2006. Management believes this funding
will
continue, and is also actively seeking new investors. Management
believes the existing shareholders and the prospective new investors will
provide the additional cash needed to meet the Company’s obligations as they
become due, and will allow the development of its core of business.
Development
Stage Activities and Operations
The
Company is in its initial stages of formation and has no revenues as of December
31, 2006. FASB #7 defines a development stage activity as one in which all
efforts are devoted substantially to establishing a new business and even
if
planned principal operations have commenced, revenues are
insignificant.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company will recognize revenue when services are performed, and at the time
of
shipment of products, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, title
and
risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable,
and
collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. To date, the
Company
has had no revenues and is in the development stage.
Cash
and Cash Equivalent
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity
of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER

2. SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Use
of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that
affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial
statements. Significant estimates made in preparing these financial
statements include the estimate of useful lives of property and equipment,
the
deferred tax valuation allowance, and the fair value of stock options. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost, and are depreciated using the straight-line
method over 3-10 years. Depreciation expense for the period ended December
21,
2006 was $1,403.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
SFAS
No.
107, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, requires
disclosure of the fair value information, whether or not recognized in the
balance sheet, where it is practicable to estimate that value. As of December
31, 2006, the amounts reported for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable,
accrued interest and other expenses, and notes payable approximate the fair
value because of their short maturities.
Loss
per Share Calculations
The
Company adopted Statement of Financial Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128 for the
calculation of “Loss per Share”. SFAS No. 128 dictates the
calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic
earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common
shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available. Diluted
earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except
that
the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares
that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been
issued
and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The Company’s diluted loss
per share is the same as the basic loss per share for the period ended December
31, 2006 as the inclusion of any potential shares would have had an
anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss.
Income
Taxes
The
Company uses the liability method of accounting for income
taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
future tax consequences attributable to financial statements carrying amounts
of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating
loss and tax credit carry-forwards. The measurement of deferred tax
assets and liabilities is based on provisions of applicable tax
law. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary,
by a valuation allowance based on the amount of tax benefits that, based
on
available evidence, is not expected to be realized.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS
148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure. This
Statement amends SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide
alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value
based
method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition,
this
Statement amends the disclosure requirements of Statement 123 to require
prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about
the
method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect
of the
method used on the reported results.

2. SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
In
November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151 "Inventory Costs, an amendment
of
ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. The amendments made by Statement 151 clarify that
abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted
materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges and require
the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal
capacity of the production facilities. The guidance is effective for inventory
costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier
application is permitted for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years
beginning after November 23, 2004. The Company has evaluated the impact of
the
adoption of SFAS 151, and does not believe the impact will be significant
to the
Company's overall results of operations or financial position.
In
December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No.
123R, Share-based Payment. SFAS 123R revises SFAS 123 and supersedes APB
25.
SFAS 123R will be effective for the period ending December 31, 2006, and
applies
to transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods
or
services and also applies to liabilities an entity may incur for goods or
services that are to follow a fair value of those equity instruments. Under
SFAS
123R, we will be required to follow a fair value approach using an
option-pricing model, such as the Black Scholes option valuation model, at
the
date of a stock option grant. The deferred compensation calculated under
the
fair value method would then be amortized over the respective vesting period
of
the stock option. The adoption of SFAS 123R is expected to have a material
impact on our results of operations.
In
December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets,
an
amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions."The
amendments made by Statement 153 are based on the principle that exchanges
of
nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets
exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for
nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a
broader
exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial
substance. Previously, Opinion 29 required that the accounting for an exchange
of a productive asset for a similar productive asset or an equivalent interest
in the same or similar productive asset should be based on the recorded amount
of the asset relinquished. Opinion 29 provided an exception to its basic
measurement principle (fair value) for exchanges of similar productive assets.
The Board believes that exception required that some nonmonetary exchanges,
although commercially substantive, be recorded on a carryover basis. By focusing
the exception on exchanges that lack commercial substance, the Board believes
this Statement produces financial reporting that more faithfully represents
the
economics of the transactions. The Statement is effective for nonmonetary
asset
exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier
application is permitted for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal
periods beginning after the date of issuance. The provisions of this Statement
shall be applied prospectively. The Company has evaluated the impact of the
adoption of SFAS 153, and does not believe the impact will be significant
to the
Company's overall results of operations or financial position.
In
December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued two FASB Staff
Positions - FSP FAS 109-1, Application of FASB Statement 109 "Accounting
for
Income Taxes" to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided
by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, and FSP FAS 109-2 Accounting and
Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within
the
American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. Neither of these affected the Company
as it
does not participate in the related activities.

2. SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
In
March
2005, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, “Share-Based Payment”
(“SAB 107”), which provides interpretive guidance related to the interaction
between SFAS 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations. It also provides
the
SEC staff’s views regarding valuation of share-based payment arrangements. In
April 2005, the SEC amended the compliance dates for SFAS 123(R), to allow
companies to implement the standard at the beginning of their next fiscal
year,
instead of the next reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005. Management
is currently evaluating the impact SAB 107 will have on our condensed financial
statements.
In
March
2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional
Asset Retirement Obligations” (“FIN 47”). FIN 47 provides guidance relating to
the identification of and financial reporting for legal obligations to perform
an asset retirement activity. The Interpretation requires recognition of
a
liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation
when
incurred if the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 also
defines when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate
the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. The provision is effective
no
later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company
will adopt FIN 47 beginning the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 and does
not
believe the adoption will have a material impact on its financial position
or
results of operations or cash flows.
In
May
2005, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections.” This new standard replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting
Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim
Financial Statements,” and represents another step in the FASB’s goal to
converge its standards with those issued by the IASB. Among other changes,
Statement 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be
applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented
on
the new accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. Statement
154
also provides that (1) a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a
long-lived non-financial asset be accounted for as a change in estimate
(prospectively) that was effected by a change in accounting principle, and
(2)
correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be
termed
a “restatement.” The new standard is effective for accounting changes and
correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.
Early adoption of this standard is permitted for accounting changes and
correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after June 1, 2005. The
Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of Statement 154 and does
not
believe the impact will be significant to the Company's overall results of
operations or financial position.
In
February of 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid
Financial Instruments”, which is intended to simplify the accounting and improve
the financial reporting of certain hybrid financial instruments (i.e.,
derivatives embedded in other financial instruments). The statement amends
SFAS
No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, and
SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125.” SFAS
No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments issued or acquired after
the
beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15,
2006.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact SFAS No. 155 will have on
its
consolidated financial statements, if any.

3. CAPITAL
STOCK
At
December 31, 2006, the Company’s authorized stock consists of 500,000,000 shares
of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. During the period ended December
31, 2006, the Company issued 99,500,000 founders shares of common stock for
$24,875; The Company commenced a private placement of 28,000,000 shares of
its
common stock at a price of one and one-half cents ($0.015) per share and
received funds in the amount of $420,000; The Company commenced an additional
private placement of 945,000 shares of its common stock at a price of ten
cents
($0.10) per share and received funds in the amount of $94,500.
The
private placements, which were made in reliance upon an exemption from
registration under Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(2)
of
the Securities Act of 1933.
The
Company entered into a month to month agreement for office space with monthly
rents of $4,000 per month.
|
At
December 31, 2006, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards
of
approximately $162,000 that may be offset against future taxable
income
from the year 2007 through 2027. No tax benefit has been reported
in the
December 31, 2006 financial statements since the potential tax
benefit is
offset by a valuation allowance of the same
amount.
|
|
The
income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined
by
applying the U.S. federal income tax rate to pretax income from
continuing
operations for the period ended December 31, 2006 due to the

Deferred
taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets
are
recognized for deductible differences and operating loss and tax
credit
carry-forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for
taxable
temporary differences. Temporary differences are the difference
between
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when,
in the
opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion
or all
of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets
and
liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws
and rates
on the date of enactment.

ORGANIZATION
AND LINE OF BUSINESS
Organizational
History
The
Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 25, 2006, as
Zingerang, Inc. On April 2, 2007 the Company changed its name to Carbon
Sciences, Inc.
Overview
of Business
The
Company was initially in the business of offering mobile communication services
under the Zingerang trade name. As of April, 2007 the Company has entered
into
an agreement to sell substantially all the assets of this business. The Company
is now pursuing a new line of business. The company is developing a technology
to convert harmful carbon dioxide (CO2) into a useful form that will not
contribute to global warming. This technology is based on a patent filed
by the
company and developed under the brand name, GreenCarbon™ Technology. By
eliminating harmful CO2 from human created sources, such as power plants
and
industrial factories, the technology will provide a partial solution to the
problem of global warming. GreenCarbon™ Technology is initially targeted at
electrical power plants.
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared
in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring
adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2007. For further information refer to the financial statements
and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 2006.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This
summary of significant accounting policies of Carbon Sciences, Inc. is presented
to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial
statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is
responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies
conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of
America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial
statements.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis
of
accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets
and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The
accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might
result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company
has
not generated any revenue as of June 30, 2007, and has negative cash flows
from
operations, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a
going
concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent
upon,
among other things, additional cash infusion. As discussed in Note 3, the
Company has obtained funds from its shareholders since it’s’ inception through
June 30, 2007. Management believes this funding will continue, and is also
actively seeking new investors. Management believes the existing shareholders
and the prospective new investors will provide the additional cash needed
to
meet the Company’s obligations as they become due, and will allow the
development of its core of business.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Development
Stage Activities and Operations
The
Company is in its initial stages of formation and has no revenues as of June
30,
2007. FASB #7 defines a development stage activity as one in which all efforts
are devoted substantially to establishing a new business and even if planned
principal operations have commenced, revenues are insignificant.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company will recognize revenue when services are performed, and at the time
of
shipment of products, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, title
and
risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable,
and
collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. To date, the
Company
has had no revenues and is in the development stage.

PART
II
INFORMATION
NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM
24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Under
the
Nevada General Corporation Law and our Articles of Incorporation, as amended,
and our Bylaws, our directors will have no personal liability to us or our
stockholders for monetary damages incurred as the result of the breach or
alleged breach by a director of his "duty of care." This provision does not
apply to the directors' (i) acts or omissions that involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law, (ii) acts or omissions
that a director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the corporation
or its stockholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of
the
director, (iii) approval of any transaction from which a director derives an
improper personal benefit, (iv) acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard
for the director's duty to the corporation or its stockholders in circumstances
in which the director was aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary
course of performing a director's duties, of a risk of serious injury to the
corporation or its stockholders, (v) acts or omissions that constituted an
unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director's
duty to the corporation or its stockholders, or (vi) approval of an unlawful
dividend, distribution, stock repurchase or redemption. This provision would
generally absolve directors of personal liability for negligence in the
performance of duties, including gross negligence.
The
effect of this provision in our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws is to
eliminate the rights of our Company and our stockholders (through stockholder's
derivative suits on behalf of our Company) to recover monetary damages against
a
director for breach of his fiduciary duty of care as a director (including
breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in
the
situations described in clauses (i) through (vi) above. This provision does
not
limit nor eliminate the rights of our Company or any stockholder to seek
non-monetary relief such as an injunction or rescission in the event of a breach
of a director's duty of care. In addition, our Bylaws provide that if the Nevada
General Corporation Law is amended to authorize the future elimination or
limitation of the liability of a director, then the liability of the directors
will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the law, as
amended. The Nevada General Corporation Law grants corporations the right to
indemnify their directors, officers, employees and agents in accordance with
applicable law.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933
(the
"Act" or "Securities Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or persons
controlling our Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
we
have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable.
ITEM
25. OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION.

was
restricted by Carbon Sciences, Inc. in accordance with the requirements of
the
Securities Act of 1933. In addition to representations by the above-referenced

ITEM
28. UNDERTAKINGS.
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to:
(1)
File,
during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement to:
(i)
Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");
(ii)
Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together,
represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of the securities offered would not exceed
that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of a prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act
if,
in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a
20%
change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation
of
Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement,
and
(iii)
Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of
distribution.
(2)
For
determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective
amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the
offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide
offering.
(3)
File
a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities
that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and
is, therefore, unenforceable.
In
the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the
payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
Each
prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement
relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule
430B
or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed
to be
part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first
used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement
or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into
the
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement
will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first
use,
supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement
or
prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such
document immediately prior to such date of first use.
SIGNATURES
In
accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant
certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the
requirements for filing on Form SB-2 and authorized this Registration Statement
to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in
the
City of Santa Barbara, State of California, on July 27, 2007.

Statement to become effective. The Company has also agreed to request a
broker-dealer to file with the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc.
(the "NASD") to secure the listing or quotation of its Common Stock on the
Over
the Counter Bulletin Board market maintained by the NASD.
As
an
inducement to the purchasers of the Private Offerings and to NASD market makers
to establish a public market for the common stock, the undersigned hereby agrees
that from the date
hereof
and until
two (2)
years after the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC (the
“Lock-up Term”), the Subscriber will not sell or offer to sell any unregistered
shares of the Company's common stock which the Subscriber owns as may be
permitted pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933,
as
amended (the “Securities Act”).
Any
shares of common stock acquired by the undersigned in the Private Offerings
and
included in the Registration Statement will not be subject to the lock-up
provisions of this Agreement.
Once
the
Lock-up Term has expired, the Subscriber will be entitled to piggyback
registration rights. If the Company proposes to file a registration statement
under the Securities Act with respect to an offering for its own account of
any
class of its equity securities (other than a registration statement on Form
S-8
(or any successor form) or any other registration statement relating solely
to
employee benefit plans or filed in connection with an exchange offer, a
transaction to which Rule 145 (or any successor provision) under the Securities
Act applies or an offering of securities solely to the Company's existing
shareholders), then the Company shall in each case give written notice of such
proposed filing to the Subscriber as soon as practicable (but no later than
20
business days) before the anticipated filing date, and such notice shall offer
the Subscriber the opportunity to register such number of Founders Shares the
Subscriber may request. The Subscriber shall so advise the Company in writing
within 10 business days after the date on which the Company’s notice is so
given, setting forth the number of Founders Shares for which registration is
requested. If the Company’s offering is to be an underwritten offering, the
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the managing underwriter
or underwriters to permit the Subscriber to include the requested number of
Founders Shares in such offering on the same terms and conditions as any similar
securities of the Company included therein. Once the registration statement
is
declared effective by the SEC, the Subscriber will not sell or distribute more
than 25% of Subscriber’s Founders Shares included in the registration every
ninety (90) days.
In
furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and its transfer agent and registrar
are hereby authorized to decline to remove restrictive legends from any share
certificates held by the undersigned if such removal would constitute a
violation or breach of this Agreement.
This
agreement shall be binding on the Subscriber and the successors, heirs, personal
representatives and assigns of the Subscriber.

1.2
The
Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of the Shares involves a high degree
of
risk including, but not limited to, the following: (a) the Company remains
a
development stage business with limited operating history and requires
substantial funds in addition to the proceeds of the Offering; (b) an investment
in the Company is highly speculative, and only investors who can afford the
loss
of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company and the
Shares; (c) the Subscriber may not be able to liquidate its investment; (d)
transferability
of the Shares (sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the
“Securities”) is extremely limited; (e) in the event of a disposition, the
Subscriber could sustain the loss of its entire investment; (f) the Company
has
not paid any dividends since its inception and does not anticipate paying any
dividends; and (g) the Company may issue additional securities in the future
which have rights and preferences that are senior to those of the Common Stock.
Without limiting the generality of the representations set forth in Section
1.5
below, the Subscriber represents that the Subscriber has carefully reviewed
the
section of the Memorandum captioned “Risk Factors.”
1.3
The
Subscriber represents that the Subscriber is an “accredited investor” as such
term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) promulgated under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as indicated by
the Subscriber’s responses to the questions contained in Article VII hereof, and
that the Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the
Shares.
1.4
The
Subscriber hereby acknowledges and represents that (a) the Subscriber has
knowledge and experience in business and financial matters, prior investment
experience, including investment in securities that are non-listed, unregistered
and/or not traded on a national securities exchange nor on the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”) automated quotation system
(“NASDAQ”), or the Subscriber has employed the services of a “purchaser
representative” (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D), attorney and/or
accountant to read all of the documents furnished or made available by the
Company both to the Subscriber and to all other prospective investors in the
Shares to evaluate the merits and risks of such an investment on the
Subscriber’s behalf; (b) the Subscriber recognizes the highly speculative nature
of this investment; and (c) the Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk
that the Subscriber hereby assumes.
1.5
The
Subscriber hereby acknowledges receipt and careful review of this Agreement,
the
Memorandum (which includes the Risk Factors), including all exhibits thereto,
and any documents which may have been made available upon request as reflected
therein (collectively referred to as the “Offering Materials”) and hereby
represents that the Subscriber has been furnished by the Company during the
course of the Offering with all information regarding the Company, the terms
and
conditions of the Offering and any additional information that the Subscriber
has requested or desired to know, and has been afforded the opportunity to
ask
questions of and receive answers from duly authorized officers or other
representatives of the Company concerning the Company and the terms and
conditions of the Offering.
1.6
a)
In
making
the decision to invest in the Shares the Subscriber has relied solely upon
the
information provided by the Company in the Offering Materials. To the extent
necessary, the Subscriber has retained, at its own expense, and relied upon
appropriate professional advice regarding the investment, tax and legal merits
and consequences of this Agreement and the purchase of the Shares hereunder.
The
Subscriber disclaims reliance on any statements made or information provided
by
any person or entity in the course of Subscriber’s consideration of an
investment in the Shares other than the Offering Materials.
(b)
The
Subscriber represents that (i) the Subscriber was contacted regarding the sale
of the Shares by the Company (or an authorized agent or representative
thereof)
with whom the Subscriber had a prior substantial pre-existing relationship
and
(ii) no Shares were offered or sold to it by means of any form of general
solicitation or general advertising, and in connection therewith, the Subscriber
did not (A) receive or review any advertisement, article, notice or other
communication published in a newspaper or magazine or similar media or broadcast
over television or radio, whether closed circuit, or generally available; or
(B)
attend any seminar meeting or industry investor conference whose attendees
were
invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.
1.7
The
Subscriber hereby represents that the Subscriber, either by reason of the
Subscriber’s business or financial experience or the business or financial
experience of the Subscriber’s professional advisors (who are unaffiliated with
and not compensated by the Company or any affiliate or selling agent of the
Company, directly or indirectly), has the capacity to protect the Subscriber’s
own interests in connection with the transaction contemplated
hereby.
1.8
The
Subscriber hereby acknowledges that the Offering has not been reviewed by the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state
regulatory authority since the Offering is intended to be exempt from the
registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act pursuant to
Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Subscriber understands that the
Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state
securities or “blue sky” laws and agrees not to sell, pledge, assign or
otherwise transfer or dispose of the Securities unless they are registered
under
the Securities Act and under any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws
or unless an exemption from such registration is available.
1.9
The
Subscriber understands that the Securities comprising the Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act by reason of a claimed exemption under
the
provisions of the Securities Act that depends, in part, upon the Subscriber’s
investment intention. In this connection, the Subscriber hereby represents
that
the Subscriber is purchasing the Securities for the Subscriber’s own account for
investment and not with a view toward the resale or distribution to others.
The
Subscriber, if an entity, further represents that it was not formed for the
purpose of purchasing the Securities.
1.10
The
Subscriber understands that there is no public market for the Common Stock
and
that no market may develop for any of such Securities. The Subscriber
understands that even if a public market develops for such Securities, Rule
144
(“Rule 144”) promulgated under the Securities Act requires for non-affiliates,
among other conditions, a one-year holding period prior to the resale (in
limited amounts) of securities acquired in a non-public offering without having
to satisfy the registration requirements under the Securities Act. The
Subscriber understands and hereby acknowledges that the Company is under no
obligation to register any of the Securities under the Securities Act or any
state securities or “blue sky” laws other than as set forth in Article V.
1.11
The
Subscriber consents to the placement of a legend on any certificate or other
document evidencing the Securities that such Securities have not been registered
under the Securities Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws and setting
forth or referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale thereof
contained in this Agreement. The Subscriber is
aware
that the Company will make a notation in its appropriate records with respect
to
the restrictions on the transferability of such Securities. The legend to be
placed on each certificate shall be in form substantially similar to the
following:
“THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES OR “BLUE
SKY LAWS,” AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR
HYPOTHECATED ABSENT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR
COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER SUCH ACT, OR UNLESS THE COMPANY
HAS
RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND
ITS
COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”
1.12
The
Subscriber understands that the Company will review this Agreement and is hereby
given authority by the Subscriber to call Subscriber’s bank or place of
employment or otherwise review the financial standing of the Subscriber; and
it
is further agreed that the Company, at its sole discretion, reserves the
unrestricted right, without further documentation or agreement on the part
of
the Subscriber, to reject or limit any subscription, to accept subscriptions
for
fractional Shares and to close the Offering to the Subscriber at any time and
that the Company will issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent
with respect to such Securities.
1.13
The
Subscriber hereby represents that the address of the Subscriber furnished by
Subscriber on the signature page hereof is the Subscriber’s principal residence
if Subscriber is an individual or its principal business address if it is a
corporation or other entity.
1.14
The
Subscriber represents that the Subscriber has full power and authority
(corporate, statutory and otherwise) to execute and deliver this Agreement
and
to purchase the Shares. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Subscriber, enforceable against the Subscriber in accordance
with its terms.
1.15
If
the
Subscriber is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust,
employee benefit plan, individual retirement account, Keogh Plan, or other
tax-exempt entity, it is authorized and qualified to invest in the Company
and
the person signing this Agreement on behalf of such entity has been duly
authorized by such entity to do so.
1.16
The
Subscriber acknowledges that if he or she is a Registered Representative of
an
NASD member firm, he or she must give such firm the notice required by the
NASD’s Rules of Fair Practice, receipt of which must be acknowledged by such
firm in Section 7.4 below.
1.17
The
Subscriber acknowledges that at such time, if ever, as the Securities are
registered (as such term is defined in Article V hereof), sales of the
Securities will be subject to state securities laws.
1.18
b)
The
Subscriber agrees not to issue any public statement with respect to the
Subscriber’s investment or proposed investment in the Company or the terms of
any
agreement or covenant between them and the Company without the Company’s prior
written consent, except such disclosures as may be required under applicable
law
or under any applicable order, rule or regulation.
(b)
The
Company agrees not to disclose the names, addresses or any other information
about the Subscribers, except as required by law; provided, that the Company
may
use the name of the Subscriber for any offering or in any registration statement
filed pursuant to Article V in which the Subscriber’s shares are
included.
1.19
The
Subscriber agrees to hold the Company and its directors, officers, employees,
affiliates, controlling persons and agents and their respective heirs,
representatives, successors and assigns harmless and to indemnify them against
all liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by them as a result of (a) any
sale
or distribution of the Securities by the Subscriber in violation of the
Securities Act or any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws; or (b) any
false representation or warranty or any breach or failure by the Subscriber
to
comply with any covenant made by the Subscriber in this Agreement (including
the
Confidential Investor Questionnaire contained in Article VII herein) or any
other document furnished by the Subscriber to any of the foregoing in connection
with this transaction.

distribution pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney,
accountant or other agent retained by such Selling Holder or underwriter, all
financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of
the
Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all
information reasonably requested by any such Selling Holder, underwriter,

(e)
Use
best
efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration
statement under such other federal or state securities laws of such
jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Selling Holders; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or
as a
condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to
service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company
is
already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required
by
the Securities Act.
(f)
In
the
event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its
obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with
the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Selling Holder participating
in
such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such
an agreement.
(g)
Notify
each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement,
at
any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under
the Securities Act, (i) when the registration statement or any post-effective
amendment and supplement thereto has become effective; (ii) of the issuance
by
the SEC of any stop order or the initiation of proceedings for that purpose
(in
which event the Company shall make every effort to obtain the withdrawal of
any
order suspending effectiveness of the registration statement at the earliest
possible time or prevent the entry thereof); (iii) of the receipt by the Company
of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of
the
Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any
proceeding for such purpose; and (iv) of the happening of any event as a result
of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in
effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then
existing.
(h)
Cause
all
such Registrable Securities registered hereunder to be listed on each securities
exchange or quotation service on which similar securities issued by the Company
are then listed or quoted or, if no such similar securities are listed or quoted
on a securities exchange or quotation service, apply for qualification and
use
best efforts to qualify such Registrable Securities for inclusion on the New
York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange or listing on a quotation system
of
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
(i)
Provide
a
transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant
hereunder and CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case
not
later than the effective date of such registration.
(j)
Cooperate
with the Selling Holders and the managing underwriters, if any, to facilitate
the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Registrable
Securities to be sold, which certificates will not bear any restrictive legends;
and enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and
registered in such names as the managing underwriters, if any, shall request
at
least two business days prior to any sale of the Registrable Securities to
the
underwriters.
(k)
In
connection with an underwritten offering, cause the officers of the Company
to

(l)
Comply
with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and make generally
available to its security holders earning statements satisfying the provisions
of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any similar
rule promulgated under the Securities Act) no later than 50 calendar days after
the end of any 3-month period (or 105 calendar days after the end of any
12-month period if such period is a fiscal year) (i) commencing at the end
of
any fiscal quarter in which Registrable Securities are sold to underwriters
in a
firm commitment or best efforts underwritten offering, and (ii) if not sold
to
underwriters in such an offering, commencing on the first day of the first
fiscal quarter of the Company, after the effective date of a registration
statement, which statements shall cover said period.
(m)
If
the
offering is underwritten and at the request of any Selling Holder, use its
best
efforts to furnish on the date that Registrable Securities are delivered to
the
underwriters for sale pursuant to such registration: (i) opinions dated such
date of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration,
addressed to the underwriters and the transfer agent for the Registrable
Securities so delivered, respectively, to the effect that such registration
statement has become effective under the Securities Act and such Registrable
Securities are freely tradable, and covering such other matters as are
customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel delivered to underwriters
and transfer agents in underwritten public offerings and (ii) a letter dated
such date from the independent public accountants who have certified the
financial statements of the Company included in the registration statement
or
the prospectus, covering such matters as are customarily covered in accountants’
letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings.
5.4
Furnish
Information
.
It
shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of the Company to take any
action pursuant to this Article V with respect to the Registrable Securities
of
any Selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such
information regarding the Holder, the Registrable Securities held by the Holder,
and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably
required by the Company to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable
Securities.
5.5
Registration
Expenses
.
The
Company shall bear and pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection
with
any registration, filing or qualification of Registrable Securities with respect
to registration pursuant to Section 5.2 for each Holder, but excluding
underwriting discounts and commissions relating to Registrable Securities and
excluding any professional fees or costs of accounting, financial or legal
advisors to any of the Holders.
5.6
Underwriting
Requirements
.
In
connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the
Company’s capital stock, the Company shall not be required under Section 5.2 to
include any of the Holders’ Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless
they accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company
and
the underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the
underwriters), and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine
in
their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the
Company. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities,
requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount
of
securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in
their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then
the
Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such
securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters determine
in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the
securities so included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling stockholders
according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein
owned by each selling stockholder or in such other proportions as shall mutually
be agreed to by such selling stockholders). For purposes of the preceding
parenthetical concerning apportionment, for any selling stockholder who is
a
holder of Registrable Securities and is a partnership or corporation, the
partners, retired partners and stockholders of such holder, or the estates
and
family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for
the
benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single “selling
stockholder,” and any pro-rata reduction with respect to such “selling
stockholder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying
registration rights
owned
by
all entities and individuals included in such “selling stockholder,” as defined
in this sentence.
5.7
Delay
of Registration
.
No
Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or
otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that
might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this
Article.
5.8
Indemnification
.
In the
event that any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement
under this Article V:
(a)
To
the
extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each
Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder
and
each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning
of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages,
or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the
Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon
any
of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a
“Violation”): (i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in such
registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus
contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission
to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation by the
Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any rule or regulation
promulgated under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, and the Company
will
pay to each such Holder, underwriter or controlling person, as incurred, any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action;
provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.8(a)
shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage,
liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of
the
Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the
Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability,
or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation
which
occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
expressly for use in connection with such registration by any such Holder,
underwriter or controlling person.
(b)
To
the
extent permitted by law, each Selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless
the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers, each person, if any,
who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any
underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement
and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against
any
losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of
the
foregoing persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, or the Exchange
Act, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case
to
the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance
upon
and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly
for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will pay,
as
incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended
to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.8(b), in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action;
provided
,
however
,
that
the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.8(b) shall not apply to
amounts paid in
settlement
of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is
effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld;
provided
,
further,
that, in
no event shall any indemnity under this Section 5.8(b) exceed the greater of
the
cash value of the (i) gross proceeds from the Offering received by such Holder
or (ii) such Holder’s investment pursuant to this Agreement as set forth on the
signature page attached hereto.
(c)
Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 5.8 of notice of the
commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified
party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any
indemnifying party under this Section 5.8, deliver to the indemnifying party
a
written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall
have
the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so
desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume
the defense thereof with counsel selected by the indemnifying party and approved
by the indemnified party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld);
provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other
indemnified parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel)
shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses
to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified
party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate
due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party
and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure
to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time
of
the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend
such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the
indemnified party under this Section 5.8, but the omission so to deliver written
notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that
it
may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section
5.8.
(d)
If
the
indemnification provided for in this Section 5.8 is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any
loss,
liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying
party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the
one
hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements
or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense
as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of
the
indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or the alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party
and
the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity
to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
(e)
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and
contribution contained in an underwriting agreement entered into in connection
with an underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing
provisions, the provisions in such underwriting agreement shall
control.
(f)
The
obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 5.8 shall survive
the
completion of the Offering.
5.9
Reports
Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934
.
With a
view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and any other
rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell

a
registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to:

Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (ii)

transferee agrees to comply with the terms and provisions of this Agreement;
(c) such transfer is otherwise in compliance with this Agreement; and
(d) such transfer is otherwise effected in accordance with applicable
securities laws. Except as specifically permitted by this Section 5.10, the

1.2
The
Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of the Shares involves a high degree
of
risk including, but not limited to, the following: (a) the Company remains
a
development stage business with limited operating history and requires
substantial funds in addition to the proceeds of the Offering; (b) an investment
in the Company is highly speculative, and only investors who can afford the
loss
of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company and the
Shares; (c) the Subscriber may not be able to liquidate its investment; (d)
transferability of the Shares (sometimes hereinafter collectively referred
to as
the “Securities”) is extremely limited; (e) in the event of a disposition, the
Subscriber could sustain the loss of its
entire
investment; (f) the Company has not paid any dividends since its inception
and
does not anticipate paying any dividends; and (g) the Company may issue
additional securities in the future which have rights and preferences that
are
senior to those of the Common Stock. Without limiting the generality of the
representations set forth in Section 1.5 below, the Subscriber represents that
the Subscriber has carefully reviewed the section of the Memorandum captioned
“Risk Factors.”
1.3
The
Subscriber represents that the Subscriber is an “accredited investor” as such
term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) promulgated under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as indicated by
the Subscriber’s responses to the questions contained in Article VII hereof, and
that the Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the
Shares.
1.4
The
Subscriber hereby acknowledges and represents that (a) the Subscriber has
knowledge and experience in business and financial matters, prior investment
experience, including investment in securities that are non-listed, unregistered
and/or not traded on a national securities exchange nor on the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”) automated quotation system
(“NASDAQ”), or the Subscriber has employed the services of a “purchaser
representative” (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D), attorney and/or
accountant to read all of the documents furnished or made available by the
Company both to the Subscriber and to all other prospective investors in the
Shares to evaluate the merits and risks of such an investment on the
Subscriber’s behalf; (b) the Subscriber recognizes the highly speculative nature
of this investment; and (c) the Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk
that the Subscriber hereby assumes.
1.5
The
Subscriber hereby acknowledges receipt and careful review of this Agreement,
the
Memorandum (which includes the Risk Factors), including all exhibits thereto,
and any documents which may have been made available upon request as reflected
therein (collectively referred to as the “Offering Materials”) and hereby
represents that the Subscriber has been furnished by the Company during the
course of the Offering with all information regarding the Company, the terms
and
conditions of the Offering and any additional information that the Subscriber
has requested or desired to know, and has been afforded the opportunity to
ask
questions of and receive answers from duly authorized officers or other
representatives of the Company concerning the Company and the terms and
conditions of the Offering.
1.6
a)
In
making
the decision to invest in the Shares the Subscriber has relied solely upon
the
information provided by the Company in the Offering Materials. To the extent
necessary, the Subscriber has retained, at its own expense, and relied upon
appropriate professional advice regarding the investment, tax and legal merits
and consequences of this Agreement and the purchase of the Shares hereunder.
The
Subscriber disclaims reliance on any statements made or information provided
by
any person or entity in the course of Subscriber’s consideration of an
investment in the Shares other than the Offering Materials.
(b)
The
Subscriber represents that (i) the Subscriber was contacted regarding the sale
of the Shares by the Company (or an authorized agent or representative thereof)
with whom the Subscriber had a prior substantial pre-existing relationship
and
(ii) no Shares were offered or sold to it by means of any form of general
solicitation or general advertising, and in connection therewith, the Subscriber
did not (A) receive or review any advertisement, article, notice or other
communication published in a newspaper or magazine or
similar
media or broadcast over television or radio, whether closed circuit, or
generally available; or (B) attend any seminar meeting or industry investor
conference whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or general
advertising.
1.7
The
Subscriber hereby represents that the Subscriber, either by reason of the
Subscriber’s business or financial experience or the business or financial
experience of the Subscriber’s professional advisors (who are unaffiliated with
and not compensated by the Company or any affiliate or selling agent of the
Company, directly or indirectly), has the capacity to protect the Subscriber’s
own interests in connection with the transaction contemplated
hereby.
1.8
The
Subscriber hereby acknowledges that the Offering has not been reviewed by the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state
regulatory authority since the Offering is intended to be exempt from the
registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act pursuant to
Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Subscriber understands that the
Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state
securities or “blue sky” laws and agrees not to sell, pledge, assign or
otherwise transfer or dispose of the Securities unless they are registered
under
the Securities Act and under any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws
or unless an exemption from such registration is available.
1.9
The
Subscriber understands that the Securities comprising the Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act by reason of a claimed exemption under
the
provisions of the Securities Act that depends, in part, upon the Subscriber’s
investment intention. In this connection, the Subscriber hereby represents
that
the Subscriber is purchasing the Securities for the Subscriber’s own account for
investment and not with a view toward the resale or distribution to others.
The
Subscriber, if an entity, further represents that it was not formed for the
purpose of purchasing the Securities.
1.10
The
Subscriber understands that there is no public market for the Common Stock
and
that no market may develop for any of such Securities. The Subscriber
understands that even if a public market develops for such Securities, Rule
144
(“Rule 144”) promulgated under the Securities Act requires for non-affiliates,
among other conditions, a one-year holding period prior to the resale (in
limited amounts) of securities acquired in a non-public offering without having
to satisfy the registration requirements under the Securities Act. The
Subscriber understands and hereby acknowledges that the Company is under no
obligation to register any of the Securities under the Securities Act or any
state securities or “blue sky” laws other than as set forth in Article V.
1.11
The
Subscriber consents to the placement of a legend on any certificate or other
document evidencing the Securities that such Securities have not been registered
under the Securities Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws and setting
forth or referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale thereof
contained in this Agreement. The Subscriber is aware that the Company will
make
a notation in its appropriate records with respect to the restrictions on the
transferability of such Securities. The legend to be placed on each certificate
shall be in form substantially similar to the following:
“THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
“ACT”) OR ANY STATE
SECURITIES OR “BLUE SKY LAWS,” AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED,
ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED ABSENT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF
UNDER
SUCH ACT OR COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER SUCH ACT, OR UNLESS
THE
COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE
COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT
REQUIRED.”
1.12
The
Subscriber understands that the Company will review this Agreement and is hereby
given authority by the Subscriber to call Subscriber’s bank or place of
employment or otherwise review the financial standing of the Subscriber; and
it
is further agreed that the Company, at its sole discretion, reserves the
unrestricted right, without further documentation or agreement on the part
of
the Subscriber, to reject or limit any subscription, to accept subscriptions
for
fractional Shares and to close the Offering to the Subscriber at any time and
that the Company will issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent
with respect to such Securities.
1.13
The
Subscriber hereby represents that the address of the Subscriber furnished by
Subscriber on the signature page hereof is the Subscriber’s principal residence
if Subscriber is an individual or its principal business address if it is a
corporation or other entity.
1.14
The
Subscriber represents that the Subscriber has full power and authority
(corporate, statutory and otherwise) to execute and deliver this Agreement
and
to purchase the Shares. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Subscriber, enforceable against the Subscriber in accordance
with its terms.
1.15
If
the
Subscriber is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust,
employee benefit plan, individual retirement account, Keogh Plan, or other
tax-exempt entity, it is authorized and qualified to invest in the Company
and
the person signing this Agreement on behalf of such entity has been duly
authorized by such entity to do so.
1.16
The
Subscriber acknowledges that if he or she is a Registered Representative of
an
NASD member firm, he or she must give such firm the notice required by the
NASD’s Rules of Fair Practice, receipt of which must be acknowledged by such
firm in Section 7.4 below.
1.17
The
Subscriber acknowledges that at such time, if ever, as the Securities are
registered (as such term is defined in Article V hereof), sales of the
Securities will be subject to state securities laws.
1.18
b)
The
Subscriber agrees not to issue any public statement with respect to the
Subscriber’s investment or proposed investment in the Company or the terms of
any agreement or covenant between them and the Company without the Company’s
prior written consent, except such disclosures as may be required under
applicable law or under any applicable order, rule or regulation.
(b)
The
Company agrees not to disclose the names, addresses or any other information
about the Subscribers, except as required by law; provided, that the Company
may
use the name of the Subscriber for any offering or in any registration statement
filed pursuant to Article V in which the Subscriber’s shares are
included.
1.19
The
Subscriber agrees to hold the Company and its directors, officers, employees,
affiliates, controlling persons and agents and their respective heirs,
representatives, successors and assigns harmless and to indemnify them against
all liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by them as a result of (a) any
sale
or distribution of the Securities by the Subscriber in violation of the
Securities Act or any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws; or (b) any
false representation or warranty or any breach or failure by the Subscriber
to
comply with any covenant made by the Subscriber in this Agreement (including
the
Confidential Investor Questionnaire contained in Article VII herein) or any
other document furnished by the Subscriber to any of the foregoing in connection
with this transaction.

Whenever required under this Article V to include Registrable Securities in
a
Company registration statement, the Company shall, as expeditiously as
reasonably possible:
(a)
Use
best
efforts to (i) cause such registration statement to become effective, and (ii)
cause such registration statement to remain effective until the earliest to
occur of (A) such date as the sellers of Registrable Securities (the “Selling
Holders”) have completed the distribution described in the registration
statement and (B) such time that all of such Registrable Securities are no
longer, by reason of Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, required to be
registered for the sale thereof by such Holders. The Company will also use
its
best efforts to, during the period that such registration statement is required
to be maintained hereunder, file such post-effective amendments and supplements
thereto as may be required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder or otherwise to ensure that the registration statement does not
contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained therein,
in
light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading; provided,
however, that if applicable rules under the Securities Act governing the
obligation to file a post-effective amendment permits, in lieu of filing a
post-effective amendment that (i) includes any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act or (ii) reflects facts or events representing
a
material or fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement, the Company may incorporate by reference information required to
be
included in (i) and (ii) above to the extent such information is contained
in
periodic reports filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act
in
the registration statement.
(b)
Prepare
and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration
statement, and the prospectus used in connection with such registration
statement, as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities
Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
registration statement.
(c)
Make
available for inspection upon reasonable notice during the Company’s regular
business hours by each Selling Holder, any underwriter participating in any
distribution pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney,
accountant or other agent retained by such Selling Holder or underwriter, all
financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of
the
Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all
information reasonably requested by any such Selling Holder, underwriter,
attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration
statement.
(d)
Furnish
to the Selling Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a
preliminary prospectus as amended or supplemented from time to time, in
conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents
as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of
Registrable Securities owned by them.
(e)
Use
best
efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration
statement under such other federal or state securities laws of such
jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Selling Holders; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or
as a
condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to
service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company
is
already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required
by
the Securities Act.
(f)
In
the
event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its
obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with
the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Selling Holder participating
in
such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such
an agreement.
(g)
Notify
each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement,
at
any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under
the Securities Act, (i) when the registration statement or any post-effective
amendment and supplement thereto has become effective; (ii) of the issuance
by
the SEC of any stop order or the initiation of proceedings for that purpose
(in
which event the Company shall make every effort to obtain the withdrawal of
any
order suspending effectiveness of the registration statement at the earliest
possible time or prevent the entry thereof); (iii) of the receipt by the Company
of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of
the
Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any
proceeding for such purpose; and (iv) of the happening of any event as a result
of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in
effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then
existing.
(h)
Cause
all
such Registrable Securities registered hereunder to be listed on each securities
exchange or quotation service on which similar securities issued by the Company
are then listed or quoted or, if no such similar securities are listed or quoted
on a securities exchange or quotation service, apply for qualification and
use
best efforts to qualify
such Registrable Securities for

least two business days prior to any sale of the Registrable Securities to
the
underwriters.
(k)
In
connection with an underwritten offering, cause the officers of the Company
to

of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any similar
rule promulgated under the Securities Act) no later than 50 calendar days after

underwriters for sale pursuant to such registration: (i) opinions dated such
date of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration,

such date from the independent public accountants who have certified the
financial statements of the Company included in the registration statement or
the prospectus, covering such matters as are customarily covered in accountants’
letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings.
5.4
Furnish
Information
.
It
shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of the Company to take any
action pursuant to this Article V with respect to the Registrable Securities
of
any Selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such
information regarding the Holder, the Registrable Securities held by the Holder,
and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably
required by the Company to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable
Securities.
5.5
Registration
Expenses
.
The
Company shall bear and pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection
with
any registration, filing or qualification of Registrable Securities with respect
to registration pursuant to Section 5.2 for each Holder, but excluding
underwriting discounts and commissions relating to Registrable Securities and
excluding any professional fees or costs of accounting, financial or legal
advisors to any of the Holders.
5.6
Underwriting
Requirements
.
In
connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the
Company’s capital stock, the Company shall not be required under Section 5.2 to
include any of the Holders’ Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless
they accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company
and
the underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the
underwriters), and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine
in
their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the
Company. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities,
requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount
of
securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in
their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then
the
Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such
securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters determine
in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the
securities so included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling stockholders
according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein
owned by each selling stockholder or in such other proportions as shall mutually
be agreed to by such selling stockholders). For purposes of the preceding
parenthetical concerning apportionment, for any selling stockholder who is
a
holder of Registrable Securities and is a partnership or corporation, the
partners, retired partners and stockholders of such holder, or the estates
and
family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for
the
benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single “selling
stockholder,” and any pro-rata reduction with respect to such “selling
stockholder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying
registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such
“selling stockholder,” as defined in this sentence.
5.7
Delay
of Registration
.
No
Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or
otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that
might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this
Article.
5.8
Indemnification
.
In the
event that any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement
under this Article V:
(a)
To
the
extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each
Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder
and
each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning
of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages,
or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the
Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon
any
of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a
“Violation”): (i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in such
registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus
contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission
to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation by the
Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any rule or regulation
promulgated under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, and the Company
will
pay to each such Holder, underwriter or controlling person, as incurred, any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action;
provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.8(a)
shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage,
liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of
the
Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the
Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability,
or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation
which
occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
expressly for use in connection with such registration by any such Holder,
underwriter or controlling person.
(b)
To
the
extent permitted by law, each Selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless
the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers, each person, if any,
who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any
underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement
and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against
any
losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of
the
foregoing persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, or the Exchange
Act, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case
to
the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance
upon
and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly
for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will pay,
as
incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended
to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.8(b), in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action;
provided
,
however
,
that
the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.8(b) shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action
if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld;
provided
,
further,
that, in
no event shall any indemnity under this Section 5.8(b) exceed the greater of
the
cash value of the (i) gross proceeds from the Offering received by such Holder
or (ii) such Holder’s investment pursuant to this Agreement as set forth on the
signature page attached hereto.
(c)
Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 5.8 of notice of the
commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified
party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any
indemnifying party under this Section 5.8, deliver to the indemnifying party
a
written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall
have
the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so
desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume
the defense thereof with counsel selected by the indemnifying party and approved
by the indemnified party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld);
provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other
indemnified parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel)
shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses
to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified
party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate
due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party
and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure
to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time
of
the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend
such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the
indemnified party under this Section 5.8, but the omission so to deliver written
notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that
it
may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section
5.8.
(d)
If
the
indemnification provided for in this Section 5.8 is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any
loss,
liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying
party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the
one
hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements
or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense
as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of
the
indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or the alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party
and
the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity
to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
(e)
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and
contribution contained in an underwriting agreement entered into in connection
with an underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing
provisions, the provisions in such underwriting agreement shall
control.
(f)
The
obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 5.8 shall survive
the
completion of the Offering.
5.9
Reports
Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934
.
With a
view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and any other
rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell
securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to
a
registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to:

Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (ii)
such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder
of
any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the selling of any such
securities without registration or pursuant to such form.
5.10
Permitted
Transferees
.
The
rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities granted to the
Holders by the Company under this Article V may be assigned in full by a Holder

(a) such Holder gives prior written notice to the Company; (b) such
transferee agrees to comply with the terms and provisions of this Agreement;
(c) such transfer is otherwise in compliance with this Agreement; and
(d) such transfer is otherwise effected in accordance with applicable
securities laws. Except as specifically permitted by this Section 5.10, the

shall not be transferable to any other Person, and any attempted transfer shall
cause all rights of such Holder therein to be forfeited.

risk including, but not limited to, the following: (a) the Company remains
a
development stage business with limited operating history and requires
substantial funds in addition to the proceeds of the Offering; (b) an investment
in the Company is highly speculative, and only investors who can afford the
loss
of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company and the
Shares; (c) the Subscriber may not be able to liquidate its investment; (d)
transferability of the Shares (sometimes hereinafter collectively referred
to as
the “Securities”) is extremely limited; (e) in the event of a disposition, the
Subscriber could sustain the loss of its
entire
investment; (f) the Company has not paid any dividends since its inception
and
does not anticipate paying any dividends; and (g) the Company may issue
additional securities in the future which have rights and preferences that
are
senior to those of the Common Stock. Without limiting the generality of the
representations set forth in Section 1.5 below, the Subscriber represents that
the Subscriber has carefully reviewed the section of the Memorandum captioned
“Risk Factors.”
1.3
The
Subscriber represents that the Subscriber is an “accredited investor” as such
term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) promulgated under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as indicated by
the Subscriber’s responses to the questions contained in Article VII hereof, and
that the Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the
Shares.
1.4
The
Subscriber hereby acknowledges and represents that (a) the Subscriber has
knowledge and experience in business and financial matters, prior investment
experience, including investment in securities that are non-listed, unregistered
and/or not traded on a national securities exchange nor on the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”) automated quotation system
(“NASDAQ”), or the Subscriber has employed the services of a “purchaser
representative” (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D), attorney and/or
accountant to read all of the documents furnished or made available by the
Company both to the Subscriber and to all other prospective investors in the
Shares to evaluate the merits and risks of such an investment on the
Subscriber’s behalf; (b) the Subscriber recognizes the highly speculative nature
of this investment; and (c) the Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk
that the Subscriber hereby assumes.
1.5
The
Subscriber hereby acknowledges receipt and careful review of this Agreement,
the
Memorandum (which includes the Risk Factors), including all exhibits thereto,
and any documents which may have been made available upon request as reflected
therein (collectively referred to as the “Offering Materials”) and hereby
represents that the Subscriber has been furnished by the Company during the
course of the Offering with all information regarding the Company, the terms
and
conditions of the Offering and any additional information that the Subscriber
has requested or desired to know, and has been afforded the opportunity to
ask
questions of and receive answers from duly authorized officers or other
representatives of the Company concerning the Company and the terms and
conditions of the Offering.
1.6
a)
In
making
the decision to invest in the Shares the Subscriber has relied solely upon
the
information provided by the Company in the Offering Materials. To the extent
necessary, the Subscriber has retained, at its own expense, and relied upon
appropriate professional advice regarding the investment, tax and legal merits
and consequences of this Agreement and the purchase of the Shares hereunder.
The
Subscriber disclaims reliance on any statements made or information provided
by
any person or entity in the course of Subscriber’s consideration of an
investment in the Shares other than the Offering Materials.
(b)
The
Subscriber represents that (i) the Subscriber was contacted regarding the sale
of the Shares by the Company (or an authorized agent or representative thereof)
with whom the Subscriber had a prior substantial pre-existing relationship
and
(ii) no Shares were offered or sold to it by means of any form of general
solicitation or general advertising, and in connection therewith, the Subscriber
did not (A) receive or review any advertisement, article, notice or other
communication published in a newspaper or magazine or
similar
media or broadcast over television or radio, whether closed circuit, or
generally available; or (B) attend any seminar meeting or industry investor
conference whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or general
advertising.
1.7
The
Subscriber hereby represents that the Subscriber, either by reason of the
Subscriber’s business or financial experience or the business or financial
experience of the Subscriber’s professional advisors (who are unaffiliated with
and not compensated by the Company or any affiliate or selling agent of the
Company, directly or indirectly), has the capacity to protect the Subscriber’s
own interests in connection with the transaction contemplated
hereby.
1.8
The
Subscriber hereby acknowledges that the Offering has not been reviewed by the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state
regulatory authority since the Offering is intended to be exempt from the
registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act pursuant to
Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Subscriber understands that the
Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state
securities or “blue sky” laws and agrees not to sell, pledge, assign or
otherwise transfer or dispose of the Securities unless they are registered
under
the Securities Act and under any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws
or unless an exemption from such registration is available.
1.9
The
Subscriber understands that the Securities comprising the Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act by reason of a claimed exemption under
the
provisions of the Securities Act that depends, in part, upon the Subscriber’s
investment intention. In this connection, the Subscriber hereby represents
that
the Subscriber is purchasing the Securities for the Subscriber’s own account for
investment and not with a view toward the resale or distribution to others.
The
Subscriber, if an entity, further represents that it was not formed for the
purpose of purchasing the Securities.
1.10
The
Subscriber understands that there is no public market for the Common Stock
and
that no market may develop for any of such Securities. The Subscriber
understands that even if a public market develops for such Securities, Rule
144
(“Rule 144”) promulgated under the Securities Act requires for non-affiliates,
among other conditions, a one-year holding period prior to the resale (in
limited amounts) of securities acquired in a non-public offering without having
to satisfy the registration requirements under the Securities Act. The
Subscriber understands and hereby acknowledges that the Company is under no
obligation to register any of the Securities under the Securities Act or any
state securities or “blue sky” laws other than as set forth in Article V.
1.11
The
Subscriber consents to the placement of a legend on any certificate or other
document evidencing the Securities that such Securities have not been registered
under the Securities Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws and setting
forth or referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale thereof
contained in this Agreement. The Subscriber is aware that the Company will
make
a notation in its appropriate records with respect to the restrictions on the
transferability of such Securities. The legend to be placed on each certificate
shall be in form substantially similar to the following:
“THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
“ACT”)
OR
ANY STATE SECURITIES OR “BLUE SKY LAWS,” AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD,
TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED ABSENT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER SUCH ACT,
OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT
REQUIRED.”
1.12
The
Subscriber understands that the Company will review this Agreement and is hereby
given authority by the Subscriber to call Subscriber’s bank or place of
employment or otherwise review the financial standing of the Subscriber; and
it
is further agreed that the Company, at its sole discretion, reserves the
unrestricted right, without further documentation or agreement on the part
of
the Subscriber, to reject or limit any subscription, to accept subscriptions
for
fractional Shares and to close the Offering to the Subscriber at any time and
that the Company will issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent
with respect to such Securities.
1.13
The
Subscriber hereby represents that the address of the Subscriber furnished by
Subscriber on the signature page hereof is the Subscriber’s principal residence
if Subscriber is an individual or its principal business address if it is a
corporation or other entity.
1.14
The
Subscriber represents that the Subscriber has full power and authority
(corporate, statutory and otherwise) to execute and deliver this Agreement
and
to purchase the Shares. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Subscriber, enforceable against the Subscriber in accordance
with its terms.
1.15
If
the
Subscriber is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust,
employee benefit plan, individual retirement account, Keogh Plan, or other
tax-exempt entity, it is authorized and qualified to invest in the Company
and
the person signing this Agreement on behalf of such entity has been duly
authorized by such entity to do so.
1.16
The
Subscriber acknowledges that if he or she is a Registered Representative of
an
NASD member firm, he or she must give such firm the notice required by the
NASD’s Rules of Fair Practice, receipt of which must be acknowledged by such
firm in Section 7.4 below.
1.17
The
Subscriber acknowledges that at such time, if ever, as the Securities are
registered (as such term is defined in Article V hereof), sales of the
Securities will be subject to state securities laws.
1.18
b)
The
Subscriber agrees not to issue any public statement with respect to the
Subscriber’s investment or proposed investment in the Company or the terms of
any agreement or covenant between them and the Company without the Company’s
prior written consent, except such disclosures as may be required under
applicable law or under any applicable order, rule or regulation.
(b)
The
Company agrees not to disclose the names, addresses or any other information
about the Subscribers, except as required by law; provided, that the Company
may
use the name of the Subscriber for any offering or in any registration statement
filed pursuant to Article V in which the Subscriber’s shares are
included.
1.19
The
Subscriber agrees to hold the Company and its directors, officers, employees,
affiliates, controlling persons and agents and their respective heirs,
representatives, successors and assigns harmless and to indemnify them against
all liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by them as a result of (a) any
sale
or distribution of the Securities by the Subscriber in violation of the
Securities Act or any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws; or (b) any
false representation or warranty or any breach or failure by the Subscriber
to
comply with any covenant made by the Subscriber in this Agreement (including
the
Confidential Investor Questionnaire contained in Article VII herein) or any
other document furnished by the Subscriber to any of the foregoing in connection
with this transaction.
