DESCRIPTION OF THE MERGER


Introduction


Westcott Products Corporation was incorporated as “Light Tech, Inc.” under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 24, 1984. A subsidiary in the name “Westcott Products Corporation” was organized by us under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 24, 1986, for the purpose of changing our name and domicile to the State of Delaware. On June 27, 1986, we merged with the Delaware subsidiary, with the survivor being Westcott Products Corporation, a Delaware corporation.   All of our prior operations were conducted through Lee Building Products and T. A. Kilgore & Company, (“Kilgore”), which owned and operated a home center in League City, Texas, about 30 miles southeast of downtown Houston, Texas. During 1990, we ceased all operations, and the secured lenders took possession of all of its assets.


On March 11, 2000, our Board of Directors began the process of re-entering the development stage with the appointment of new officers and directors, and began the process of seeking the acquisition of new business opportunities, which resulted in the completion of the acquisition of Dala Petroleum Corp. that is discussed below under the heading “Merger.”


Dala has the rights to engage in oil exploration and development on approximately 300 leases in north central Kansas, with total acreage of approximately 80,000 acres (the “Property”). Dala will operate as an early-stage oil exploration company focused on the Property, which has oil potential at depths of less than 6,000 feet. Additional information on the Company’s new operations as a result of the Merger can be found in the “Business” section below.

Merger Transaction Documents


The summaries of the Merger Transaction Documents and the other agreements, documents and instruments related to the Transaction Documents or otherwise described herein and filed as Exhibits to this Current Report and which are incorporated herein by reference are believed to be complete in every material respect; however, such referenced Transaction Documents, agreements, documents and instruments that are summarized may be read in their entirety as filed “Exhibits” to our initial Current Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 3, 2014.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them under the Merger Agreement or other instrument referenced; and in some instances, for clarity, certain Exhibits to the Merger Agreement or other instruments that are filed herewith as Exhibits are named and defined otherwise than in the Transaction Documents or in those instruments.  See Item 9.01.


Merger


On June 2, 2014, Westcott Products Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Westcott”), its newly formed and wholly-owned subsidiary, Dala Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Merger Subsidiary”), and Dala Petroleum Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Dala”), executed and delivered an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) and all required or necessary documentation to complete the merger (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), whereby Merger Subsidiary merged with and into Dala, and Dala was the surviving company under the merger and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Westcott on the closing of the merger (the “Merger”).  Effective June 2, 2014, the respective Boards of Directors of Westcott and Dala, along with Westcott, as the sole stockholder of Merger Subsidiary, and Dala’s sole stockholder Chisholm Partners II, LLC, a Louisiana limited liability company (“Chisholm II”) owning 100% of the outstanding voting securities of Dala approved the Merger by written consent, and the Articles of Merger were filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on such date, which was the effective date of the Merger.  Accordingly, Westcott will issue 10,000,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Dala, to be distributed to Dala Petroleum’s sole shareholder that will immediately distribute the shares on a pro rata basis to its members.  Dala had no other outstanding stock options, warrants, preferred stock or securities on the closing of the Merger.  There will then be 12,500,000 outstanding shares of Westcott common stock.  Current Westcott stockholders will own 2,500,000 of these shares or approximately 20% of the outstanding voting securities of Westcott; and Dala stockholders will own approximately 10,000,000 of these shares or approximately 80% of these outstanding voting securities of Westcott. Also, see the following Capitalization Tables for additional information about the Merger, and Item 9.01, where a copy of the Merger Agreement is filed as an Exhibit.


Several conditions precedent as set forth in the Merger Agreement were completed prior to the Merger. One critical condition precedent set forth in the Merger Agreement is that Westcott would raise no less than $2,000,000 (the minimum Offering) from persons who are “accredited investors” in consideration of the issuance (or the conversion) of a minimum of 2,000 shares up to a maximum of 2,500 shares of its Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock at the offering price of $1,000 per Unit. As of the date of this Report, the Company sold 2, 025 Units in the Offering. Each Unit consists of one share of Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock that is convertible at any time at the option of the Holder into common stock at the conversion price of $0.70 per common share based on the total dollar amount invested (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Company’s Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation that was filed on May 30, 2014) and 1,429 warrants to purchase common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $1.35 within three years of the “Effective Date” as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement for the Offering. The Effective Date is defined as the earliest date of the following to occur: (a) the initial registration statement required by the Offering Documents has been declared effective by the Commission, (b) all of the underlying shares have been sold pursuant to Rule 144 or may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or (c) following the one year anniversary of the Closing Date provided that a holder of underlying shares is not an Affiliate of the Company, all of the underlying shares may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(1) of the Securities Act without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and Company counsel has delivered to such holders a standing written unqualified opinion that re-sales may then be made by such holders of the underlying shares pursuant to such exemption which opinion shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such holders.

Accounting Treatment of the Merger


For financial reporting purposes, the Merger represents a “reverse merger” rather than a business combination and Dala is deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction.  The Merger is being accounted for as a reverse-merger and recapitalization. Dala is the acquirer for financial reporting purposes and Westcott is the acquired company. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the operations that will be reflected in the historical financial statements prior to the Share Exchange will be those of Dala and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of Dala, and the consolidated financial statements after completion of the Share Exchange will include the assets and liabilities of Dala and Westcott, and the historical operations of Dala and operations of the Company from the closing date of the Merger Agreement. Dala has not commenced any significant operations and, in accordance with ASC Topic 915, Dala is considered an exploration stage company.


Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.


On June 3, 2014, Dala entered into a Master Services Agreement with Chisholm II (the “Master Services Agreement”). Pursuant to the Master Services Agreement, Chisholm II agreed to act as an independent contractor for the Company and provide services and personnel to develop, drill, operate, and maintain oil and gas wells and properties used to produce oil and gas within the State of Kansas for a period of twelve (12) months. The Company will pay Chisholm II $25,000 up front and $25,000 per month for its services and reimburse Chisholm II for any expenses directly incurred during the related operations.


On June 3, 2014, Dala also entered into an Option Participation Agreement with Chisholm II (the “Option Participation Agreement”). Pursuant to the Option Participation Agreement, Chisholm II granted Dala the option, at Dala’s own election, to participate for up to twenty-five percent (25%) of Chisholm’s share of each drilling operation in search for oil or gas in the State of Kansas undertaken by Chisholm II.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities


During our past three fiscal years ended September 30, 2013, 2012, and 2011, and since then, we have sold the following unregistered securities:


(i)

Immediately following the Merger described in Item 1.01 above, the Company closed a private placement offering (the “Offering”) to certain accredited and sophisticated investors.


The Company offered, at a price of $1,000 per Unit, up to 2,500 Units (with the option to increase the maximum offering to 2,775 in the case of oversubscription), each Unit consisting of one share of Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock and 1,429 warrants for common stock at a purchase price of $1.35 per share that expire three years from the Effective Date as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement of the Offering Documents.


Holders (the “Holder” or “Holders”) of Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the rate per share of 6% per annum, payable quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1, in cash from legally available funds or, at the Company’s option, in duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock.  Each share of Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the Holder into common stock at the conversion price of $0.70 per common share based on the total dollar amount invested (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation). Unless waived by the Holder, at no time will the Holder be able to convert the Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock into common stock that is equal to more than 4.99% of the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. If the Holder gives the Company at least 61 days’ written notice, then the Holder may convert up to 9.99% of the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.


Under the Offering, a total of 2,025 Units were placed and $2,025,000 was delivered by thirteen investors to the Company. The sale of the Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D, Rule 506(b), promulgated thereunder.  There was no general solicitation, and each investor is financially sophisticated.


The Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Holders of the Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock through which the Company is required to register the common shares underlying the Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock and the warrants.


(ii)

On or about February 10, 2014, we offered and sold 1,384,200 shares of our common stock comprised of “restricted securities” in consideration of the sum of $13,842.  These shares were offered and sold pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.  The funds were utilized for partial payment of our expenses incurred in connection with our negotiation and due diligence activities related to the Dala Merger discussed in Item 1.01 above.

BUSINESS


Corporate History


Westcott Products Corporation was incorporated as “Light Tech, Inc.” under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 24, 1984. A subsidiary in the name “Westcott Products Corporation” was organized by us under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 24, 1986, for the purpose of changing our name and domicile to the State of Delaware. On June 27, 1986, we merged with the Delaware subsidiary, with the survivor being Westcott Products Corporation, a Delaware corporation.   All of our prior operations were conducted through Lee Building Products and T. A. Kilgore & Company, (“Kilgore”), which owned and operated a home center in League City, Texas, about 30 miles southeast of downtown Houston, Texas. During 1990, we ceased all operations, and the secured lenders took possession of all of its assets.




7





On March 11, 2000, our Board of Directors began the process of re-entering the development stage with the appointment of new officers and directors, and began the process of seeking the acquisition of new business opportunities, which resulted in the completion of the Dala Merger in 2014.


We have an authorized capital of 100,000,000 shares divided into 50,000,000 shares of common stock of a par value of $0.001 per share and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01, with 2,775 of the 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock being designated as our Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock. With the exception of the Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock sold under our Offering described in Item 3.02 above, no other shares of our preferred stock are outstanding. We were formed for the primary purpose of engaging in any and all lawful business.


Copies of the Certificate of Ownership and Merger and our initial Articles of Incorporation, as amended, together with our By-Laws, were filed as Exhibits to our 10-KSB Annual Report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003.


On or about November 28, 2006, we filed a Definitive Information Statement on Form 14C with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), whereby we amended our Articles of Incorporation with the State of Delaware;  and we issued common stock to the members of our Board of Directors for compensation of services.  The Amended Articles of Incorporation were unanimously adopted by our Board of Directors and certain shareholders owning approximately 13,800 shares of our common stock or approximately 59.7% of our outstanding voting securities to effect a re-capitalization of our outstanding common stock in the form of a pro rata 250,000 for one reverse split, with all fractional shares being rounded up to the nearest whole share, and an immediate 200 for one pro rata dividend of our outstanding common stock. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this re-capitalization. A copy of the Amended Articles of Incorporation was filed as an Exhibit to our Definitive Information Statement on Form 14C. This re-capitalization and compensation common stock issuance became effective December 20, 2006.


Since the recapitalization, we have been seeking and investigating potential assets, property or businesses to acquire.  Until the Merger, we have had no material business operations for more than 20 years.


As described in Item 1.01 above, on January 8, 2014, we entered into a Letter of Intent with Chisholm II, the sole shareholder of Dala, to complete an Agreement and Plan of Merger.


Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, Westcott formed a new, wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary, Dala Acquisition Corp., on May 22, 2014 which merged with and into Dala on June 2, 2014, with Dala being the surviving company and therefore becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Westcott upon the closing of the Merger.  According to the terms of the Plan of Merger, Westcott issued 10,000,000 restricted shares of its common stock to the sole shareholder of Dala in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Dala common stock.  Following the Merger, the Company had a total of 12,500,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.


The Post-Merger Company


Following the Merger, the Company’s operations will be those of Dala. Dala has the rights to engage in oil exploration and development on approximately 300 leases in north central Kansas with total acreage of approximately 80,000 acres (the “Property”). The cost of the 300 lease assets was $1,898,946.


Dala will operate as an early-stage oil exploration company focused on the Property, which has oil potential at depths of less than 6,000 feet. Dala was assigned the rights to explore the Property from Chisholm II, and, through a Service Agreement with Chisholm II, will utilize Chisholm II’s existing technical exploration team to further explore and develop the property.




8





Dala’s operations will be focused on shallow oil opportunities. Dala has a ready-to-drill inventory of seismically defined (2-D and 3-D) prospects in and around existing production in central, southern and northwest Kansas.  In addition, Dala has leases to approximately 80,000 net acres along a productive trend of fields (1-17 million barrels of oil) in central Kansas, which will be explored via conventional seismic evaluation and vertical drilling. Dala has a full team of experienced (major oil company trained) technical and land personnel to support its operations.  Its founders and management have a track record of creating shareholder value through early stage oil and gas ventures. In partnership with Chisholm II, an exploration and production company focused on the acquisition of Kansas oil leasehold interests and exploration and development and Dala’s sole shareholder prior to the Merger and the closing of the Offering, Dala has an inventory of drill-ready oil prospects.  Most of the prospects are supported by modern seismic data and are a combination of field extensions, step out locations and offsets to existing production. The initial eight prospects estimated ultimate recovery range in potential from one hundred thousand to one-half million barrels of oil, and are expected to be drilled and tested over the next 12 months.  Another eight plus prospects are currently being developed by Dala and Chisholm II.  Together, the companies will continue to acquire new leases and seismic data in support of their ongoing programs.  This prospect development is being conducted by two teams of geologists and geophysicists in Denver, CO.  One team focuses on western Kansas, where they have 10 years of experience and a successful track record; and the second team focuses on a high potential exploration area where Dala’s 80,000 acres are located.  This team has already generated two field offset prospects for Dala, using high resolution 2-D seismic data.


Dala is establishing a substantial land position over a shallow, conventional oil play in north central Kansas.  The "Play" or exploration concept is located across a four county area and is geographically defined by the boundaries of the productive North American Rift System.  The land position is concentrated over a lightly explored portion of the Rift, bordered immediately on the south by over 400 million barrels of rift-related oil fields, and to the north by significant new discoveries in southeast Nebraska, where per well productive rates have recently been reported.  This Play concept was developed by a team of highly experienced international geologists, geophysicists and land experts, who applied regional geologic theory, proprietary geophysical data bases and high resolution seismic.  Based on adjacent productive analogies, the expected field target size in this exploration area is from 1-17 million barrels of recoverable oil, with individual per well rates estimated to be from 200-800 barrels of oil per day, depending upon the reservoir.


In addition to the Play, Dala will begin an eight well drilling program with working interests ranging between 12.5%-25% in order to provide operating income while further validating the thesis of the 80,000 acres.  This additional Kansas non-operated opportunity is provided under the Chisholm II agreement in support of unlocking the value of the separate 80,000 acres.  If successful, this initiative will provide operating capital and data critical to unlocking the potential value of the 80,000 acres.


Business Strategy


Our business strategy is to create value for our shareholders by growing reserves, production and cash flow on a cost-efficient basis.  Key elements of our business strategy will include:


·

Development and exploration of our existing oil and gas leases in the North American Rift System is our primary objective.  Our current acreage position consists of 100% working interest and will require the Company to register as a licensed Oil and Gas Operator within the state of Kansas;

·

To selectively participate, on a non-operated basis, in seismically driven prospects that correspond geologically with our existing footprint within the state of Kansas;

·

Our goal is to remain financially strong, yet flexible, through the prudent management of our current limited cash resources;

·

To complement our organic growth strategy, we will seek to aggregate existing production in order to accelerate the Company’s production and reserve profile;

·

Once the Company has reached a set level of daily production, we will seek to use a variety of derivatives to lock in current value and hedge against any potential downturn in crude pricing;

·

Retaining qualified personnel to carry out the Company’s growth strategy.

Industry Operating Environment


The oil and natural gas industry is affected by many factors that we generally cannot control. Government regulations, particularly in the areas of taxation, energy, climate change and the environment, can have a significant impact on operations and profitability.  Significant factors that will impact oil prices in the current fiscal year and future periods include: political and social developments in the Middle East; demand in Asian and European markets; and the extent to which members of OPEC and other oil exporting nations manage oil supply through export quotas.  Additionally, natural gas prices continue to be under pressure due to concerns over excess supply of natural gas due to the high productivity of emerging shale development in the United States and continued lower product demand caused by a weakened economy.  Natural gas prices are generally determined by North American supply and demand and are also affected by imports of liquefied natural gas.  Weather also has a significant impact on demand for natural gas since it is a primary heating source.


Development


We will primarily engage in oil and natural gas exploration and production singly on the Property using a technical exploration team to further explore and develop the Property. Dala has a full team of experienced (major oil company trained) technical and land personnel to support its operations, which is provided under the Chisholm II Master Service Agreement. Dala has an inventory of drill-ready oil prospects.  Most of the prospects are supported by modern seismic data and are a combination of field extensions, step out locations and offsets to existing production. The initial eight prospects estimated ultimate recovery range in potential from one hundred thousand to one-half million barrels of oil, and are expected to be drilled and tested over the next 12 months.  Another eight plus prospects are currently being developed by Dala and Chisholm II.  Together, the companies will continue to acquire new leases and seismic data in support of their ongoing programs.  This prospect development is being conducted by two teams of geologists and geophysicists in Denver, CO.  One team focuses on western Kansas, where they have 10 years of experience and a successful track record; and the second team focuses on a high potential exploration area where Dala’s 80,000 acres are located.  This team has already generated two field offset prospects for Dala, using high resolution 2-D seismic data.


Dala is assembling a substantial land position over a shallow, conventional oil play in north central Kansas.  The "Play" or exploration concept is located across a four county area and is geographically defined by the boundaries of the productive North American Rift System.  The land position is concentrated over a lightly explored portion of the Rift, bordered immediately on the south by over 400 million barrels of rift-related oil fields, and to the north by significant new discoveries in southeast Nebraska, where per well productive rates of 400-600 barrels per day have recently been reported.  This Play concept was developed by a team of highly experienced international geologists, geophysicists and land experts, who applied regional geologic theory, proprietary geophysical data bases and high resolution seismic.  Based on adjacent productive analogies, the expected field target size in this exploration area is from 1-17 million barrels of recoverable oil, with individual per well rates estimated to be from 200-800 barrels of oil per day, depending upon the reservoir.

In addition to the Play, Dala will begin an eight well drilling program with working interests ranging between 12.5% - 25% in order to provide operating income while further validating the thesis of the 80,000 acres.  This additional Kansas non-operated opportunity is provided under the Chisholm II agreement in support of unlocking the value of the separate 80,000 acres.    If successful, this initiative will provide operating capital and data critical to unlocking the potential value of the 80,000 acres.


Competition


The oil and natural gas industry is intensely competitive, and we will be competing with numerous other oil and natural gas exploration and production companies.  Most of these companies have substantially greater resources than we have.  Not only do they explore for and produce oil and natural gas, but also many carry on midstream and refining operations and market petroleum and other products on a regional, national or worldwide basis.  The operations of other companies will be able to pay more for exploratory prospects and productive oil and natural gas properties.  They will also have substantially more resources to define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than our limited financial or human resources permit.


Our larger or integrated competitors will have the resources to be better able to absorb the burden of existing, and any changes to federal, state, and local laws and regulations more easily than we can, which will adversely affect our competitive position.  Our ability to discover reserves and acquire additional properties in the future will be dependent upon our ability and resources to evaluate and select suitable properties and to consummate transactions in this highly competitive environment.  In addition, we will be at a disadvantage in producing oil and natural gas properties and bidding for exploratory prospects, because we have substantially fewer financial and human resources than other companies in our industry.  Should a larger and better financed company decide to directly compete with us, and be successful in its efforts, our business model and any business operations could be adversely affected.

Marketing and Customers


The market for oil and natural gas that may be produced from our properties depends on factors beyond our control, including the extent of domestic production and imports of oil and natural gas, the proximity and capacity of natural gas pipelines and other transportation facilities, demand for oil and natural gas, the marketing of competitive fuels and the effects of state and federal regulation. The oil and natural gas industry also competes with other industries in supplying the energy and fuel requirements of industrial, commercial and individual consumers.


Our oil production, if any, is expected to be sold at prices tied to the spot oil markets.  Our natural gas production, if any, is expected to be sold under short-term contracts and priced based on first of the month index prices or on daily spot market prices.  We will rely on any operating partners to market and sell our production, where we contract with such operators in drilling prospects.  We currently have a Management Services Agreement with Chisholm II and an Option Participation Agreement with Chisholm II.


Principal Agreements Affecting Our Ordinary Business


We do not own any physical real estate, but, instead, our acreage is comprised of leasehold interests subject to the terms and provisions of lease agreements that provide us the right to explore and develop the Property in specific geographic areas.  All lease arrangements that comprise our current acreage positions are established using industry-standard terms that have been established and used in the oil and natural gas industry for many years, and our leases are with the State of Kansas. All of our current leases were assigned to us by Chisholm II, our majority shareholder, that obtained the original leasehold interest prior to the assignment.


We have entered into a Master Services Agreement with Chisholm. Pursuant to the Master Service Agreement, Chisholm agreed to act as an independent contractor for the Company and provide services and personnel to develop, drill, operate, and maintain oil and gas wells and properties used to produce oil and gas within the State of Kansas for a period of twelve (12) months. The Company will pay Chisholm $25,000 per month for its services and reimburse Chisholm for any expenses directly incurred during the related operations.


We have also entered into an Option Participation Agreement with Chisholm. Pursuant to the Option Participation Agreement, Chisholm granted Dala the option, at Dala’s own election, to participate for up to twenty-five percent (25%) of Chisholm’s share of each drilling operation in search for oil or gas in the State of Kansas undertaken by Chisholm.

 

In general, our current lease agreements have a term of five years from the effective date with an option to extend for an additional three years. The effective dates of the leases vary lease to lease. The oldest effective date is October 3, 2011, and the most recent effective date is March 13, 2013.  There are over 300 lease agreements that have been assigned to Dala by Chisholm II. Royalty rates will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis consistent with industry standard pricing.  Once a well is drilled and production established, the leased acreage in the applicable spacing unit is customarily considered developed acreage and is held by production.  Other locations within the drilling unit created for a well may also be drilled at any time with no time limit as long as the lease is held by production.  We do not believe lease expiration issues will materially affect our current leasehold acreage position.


Governmental Regulation and Environmental Matters


Our operations are subject to various rules, regulations and limitations impacting the oil and natural gas exploration and production industry as whole.




12






Regulation of Oil and Natural Gas Production


Oil and natural gas exploration, production and related operations, when developed, are subject to extensive rules and regulations promulgated by federal, state, tribal and local authorities and agencies.  For example, Kansas requires permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds and reports concerning operations and imposes other requirements relating to the exploration and production of oil and natural gas.  Kansas may also have statutes or regulations addressing conservation matters, including provisions for the unitization or pooling of oil and natural gas properties, the establishment of maximum rates of production from wells, and the regulation of spacing, plugging and abandonment of such wells.  Failure to comply with any such rules and regulations can result in substantial penalties.  The regulatory burden on the oil and natural gas industry will most likely increase our cost of doing business and may affect our profitability.  Although we believe we are currently in substantial compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, because such rules and regulations are frequently amended or reinterpreted, we are unable to predict the future cost or impact of complying with such laws.  Significant expenditures may be required to comply with governmental laws and regulations and may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.


Environmental Matters


Our operations and properties are subject to extensive and changing federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection, including the generation, storage, handling, emission, transportation and discharge of materials into the environment, and relating to safety and health. The recent trend in environmental legislation and regulation generally is toward stricter standards, and this trend will likely continue. These laws and regulations may:


·

require the acquisition of a permit or other authorization before construction or drilling commences and for certain other activities;

·

limit or prohibit construction, drilling and other activities on certain lands lying within wilderness and other protected areas; and

·

impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from such operations.


The permits required for our operations may be subject to revocation, modification and renewal by issuing authorities.  Governmental authorities have the power to enforce their regulations, and violations are subject to fines or injunctions, or both.  In the opinion of management, we anticipate that we will be in substantial compliance with current applicable environmental laws and regulations, and we have no material commitments for capital expenditures to comply with existing environmental requirements. Nevertheless, changes in existing environmental laws and regulations or in interpretations thereof could have a significant impact on us, as well as the oil and natural gas industry in general.


The Comprehensive Environmental, Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) and comparable state statutes impose strict, joint and several liability on owners and operators of sites and on persons who have disposed of or have arranged for the disposal of “hazardous substances” found at such sites. It is not uncommon for the neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the hazardous substances released into the environment.  The Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) and comparable state statutes govern the disposal of “solid waste” and “hazardous waste” and authorize the imposition of substantial fines and penalties for noncompliance. Although CERCLA currently excludes petroleum from its definition of “hazardous substance,” state laws affecting our operations may impose clean-up liability relating to petroleum and petroleum related products. In addition, although RCRA classifies certain oil field wastes as “non-hazardous,” such exploration and production wastes could be reclassified as hazardous wastes thereby making such wastes subject to more stringent handling and disposal requirements.




13






The Endangered Species Act (“ESA”) seeks to ensure that activities do not jeopardize endangered or threatened animal, fish and plant species, nor destroy or modify the critical habitat of such species.  Under ESA, exploration and production operations, as well as actions by federal agencies, may not significantly impair or jeopardize the species or its habitat.  ESA provides for criminal penalties for willful violations of ESA.  Other statutes that provide protection to animal and plant species and that may apply to our operations include, but are not necessarily limited to, the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, the Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the National Historic Preservation Act.  Although we believe that our operations will be in substantial compliance with such statutes, any change in these statutes or any reclassification of a species as endangered could subject us (directly or indirectly through any operating partners) to significant expenses to modify our operations or could force discontinuation of certain operations altogether.


On April 17, 2012, EPA finalized rules proposed on July 28, 2011, which establish new air emission controls for oil and natural gas production and natural gas processing operations. Specifically, the EPA’s rule package includes New Source Performance Standards to address emissions of sulfur dioxide and volatile organic compounds (“VOCs”) and a separate set of emission standards to address hazardous air pollutants frequently associated with oil and natural gas production and processing activities. The rules establish specific new requirements regarding emissions from compressors, dehydrators, storage tanks and other production equipment. In addition, the rules revise leak detection requirements for natural gas processing plants. These rules may require a number of modifications to our planned operations and those of any of our potential third-party operating partners, including the installation of new equipment to control emissions from compressors. Although we cannot predict the cost to comply with these new requirements at this point, compliance with these new rules could result in significant costs, including increased capital expenditures and operating costs, and could adversely impact our business.


These new regulations and proposals and any other new regulations requiring the installation of more sophisticated pollution control equipment could have a material adverse impact on our business model and business, results of operations and financial condition.


The Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972, or the Clean Water Act (the “CWA”), imposes restrictions and controls on the discharge of produced waters and other pollutants into navigable waters. Permits must be obtained to discharge pollutants into state and federal waters and to conduct construction activities in waters and wetlands. The CWA and certain state regulations prohibit the discharge of produced water, sand, drilling fluids, drill cuttings, sediment and certain other substances related to the oil and gas industry into certain coastal and offshore waters without an individual or general National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System discharge permit. In addition, the Clean Water Act and analogous state laws require individual permits or coverage under general permits for discharges of storm water runoff from certain types of facilities. Some states also maintain groundwater protection programs that require permits for discharges or operations that may impact groundwater conditions. Costs may be associated with the treatment of wastewater and/or developing and implementing storm water pollution prevention plans. The CWA and comparable state statutes provide for civil, criminal and administrative penalties for unauthorized discharges of oil and other pollutants and impose liability on parties responsible for those discharges, for the costs of cleaning up any environmental damage caused by the release and for natural resource damages resulting from the release.


The underground injection of oil and natural gas wastes are regulated by the Underground Injection Control program authorized by the Safe Drinking Water Act.  The primary objective of injection well operating requirements is to ensure the mechanical integrity of the injection apparatus and to prevent migration of fluids from the injection zone into underground sources of drinking water.  All of leased acreage in which we have interest may be required to be developed from unconventional sources that require hydraulic fracturing as part of the completion process.  Hydraulic fracturing involves the injection of water, sand and chemicals under pressure into the formation to stimulate gas production.  Legislation to amend the Safe Drinking Water Act to repeal the exemption for hydraulic fracturing from the definition of “underground injection” and require federal permitting and regulatory control of hydraulic fracturing, as well as legislative proposals to require disclosure of the chemical constituents of the fluids used in the fracturing process, were proposed in recent sessions of Congress.  The U.S. Congress continues to consider legislation to amend the Safe Drinking Water Act to subject hydraulic fracturing operations to regulation under the Act’s Underground Injection Control Program to require disclosure of chemicals used in the hydraulic fracturing process.



14






Scrutiny of hydraulic fracturing activities continues in other ways.  The federal government is currently undertaking several studies of hydraulic fracturing’s potential impact.  Several states, including Kansas, where our current leased properties are located, have also proposed or adopted legislative or regulatory restrictions on hydraulic fracturing.  We cannot predict whether any other legislation will ever be enacted and if so, what its provisions would be.  If additional levels of regulation and permits were required through the adoption of new laws and regulations at the federal or state level, it could lead to delays, increased operating costs and process prohibitions that would materially adversely affect our revenue and results of operations.


The National Environmental Policy Act, or NEPA, establishes a national environmental policy and goals for the protection, maintenance and enhancement of the environment and provides a process for implementing these goals within federal agencies.  A major federal agency action having the potential to significantly impact the environment requires review under NEPA.  Many of our planned activities and those of any of our potential third-party operating partners are covered under categorical exclusions which results in a shorter NEPA review process.  The Council on Environmental Quality has announced an intention to reinvigorate NEPA reviews and on March 12, 2012, issued final guidance that may result in longer review processes that could lead to delays and increased costs that could materially adversely affect our revenues and results of operations.


Climate Change


Significant studies and research have been devoted to climate change and global warming, and climate change has developed into a major political issue in the United States and globally.  Certain research suggests that greenhouse gas emissions contribute to climate change and pose a threat to the environment.  Recent scientific research and political debate has focused in part on carbon dioxide and methane incidental to oil and natural gas exploration and production.


In the United States, legislative and regulatory initiatives are underway to limit greenhouse gas emissions. The U.S. Congress has considered legislation that would control GHG emissions through a “cap and trade” program and several states have already implemented programs to reduce GHG emissions.  The U.S. Supreme Court determined that GHG emissions fall within the federal Clean Air Act, or the CAA, definition of an “air pollutant,” and in response the EPA promulgated an endangerment finding paving the way for regulation of GHG emissions under the CAA. In 2010, the EPA issued a final rule, known as the “Tailoring Rule,” that makes certain large stationary sources and modification projects subject to permitting requirements for greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act.


In addition, in September 2009, the EPA issued a final rule requiring the reporting of GHGs from specified large GHG emission sources in the United States beginning in 2011 for emissions in 2010.  On November 30, 2010, the EPA published a final rule expanding its existing GHG emissions reporting to include onshore and offshore oil and natural gas systems beginning in 2012.  We and any of our potential third party operating partners are required to report their greenhouse gas emissions under these rules.  Because regulation of GHG emissions is relatively new, further regulatory, legislative and judicial developments are likely to occur.  Such developments may affect how these GHG initiatives will impact us.  Moreover, while the U.S. Supreme Court held in its June 2011 decision American Electric Power Co. v. Connecticut that, with respect to claims concerning GHG emissions, the federal common law of nuisance was displaced by the federal Clean Air Act, the Court left open the question of whether tort claims against sources of GHG emissions alleging property damage may proceed under state common law.  There thus remains some litigation risk for such claims.  Due to the uncertainties surrounding the regulation of and other risks associated with GHG emissions, we cannot predict the financial impact of related developments on us.


Legislation or regulations that may be adopted to address climate change could also affect the markets for our products by making our products more or less desirable than competing sources of energy.  To the extent that our products are competing with higher greenhouse gas emitting energy sources, our products would become more desirable in the market with more stringent limitations on greenhouse gas emissions.  To the extent that our products are competing with lower greenhouse gas emitting energy sources such as solar and wind, our products would become less desirable in the market with more stringent limitations on greenhouse gas emissions.  We cannot predict with any certainty at this time how these possibilities may affect our operations.




15





The majority of scientific studies on climate change suggest that stronger storms may occur in the future in the areas where we operate, although the scientific studies are not unanimous.  Although operators may take steps to mitigate physical risks from storms, no assurance can be given that future storms will not have a material adverse effect on our business.


Existing and Probable Government Regulation to Our Current and Intended Business


Exchange Act


We are subject to the following regulations of the Exchange Act, and applicable securities laws, rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act by the SEC.  Compliance with these requirements of the Exchange Act increases our legal and accounting costs.


Smaller Reporting Company


We are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 of the Exchange Act, and subject to the disclosure requirements of Regulation S-K of the SEC, as a “smaller reporting company.”  That designation will relieve us of some of the informational requirements of Regulation S-K.


Sarbanes/Oxley Act


We are also subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes/Oxley Act”).  The Sarbanes/Oxley Act created a strong and independent accounting oversight board to oversee the conduct of auditors of public companies and strengthens auditor independence.  It also requires steps to enhance the direct responsibility of senior members of management for financial reporting and for the quality of financial disclosures made by public companies; establishes clear statutory rules to limit, and to expose to public view, possible conflicts of interest affecting securities analysts; creates guidelines for audit committee members’ appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of public companies’ auditors; management assessment of our internal controls; prohibits certain insider trading during pension fund blackout periods; requires companies and auditors to evaluate internal controls and procedures; and establishes a federal crime of securities fraud, among other provisions. Compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes/Oxley Act will substantially increase our legal and accounting costs.


Exchange Act Reporting Requirements


Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act requires all companies with securities registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act like we are to comply with the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding proxy solicitations, as outlined in SEC Regulation 14A.  Matters submitted to shareholders at a special or annual meeting thereof or pursuant to a written consent will require us to provide our shareholders with the information outlined in Schedules 14A (where proxies are solicited) or 14C (where consents in writing to the action have already been received or are anticipated to be received) of SEC Regulation 14, as applicable; and preliminary copies of this information must be submitted to the SEC at least 10 days prior to the date that definitive copies are forwarded to our shareholders.


We are also required to file annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q with the SEC on a regular basis, and will be required to timely disclose certain material events (e.g., changes in corporate control; acquisitions or dispositions of a significant amount of assets other than in the ordinary course of business; and bankruptcy) in Current Reports on Form 8-K.


Number of Total Employees and Number of Full-Time Employees


We have one full-time employee, E. Will Gray II, our Chief Executive Officer and director.


Reports to Security Holders


You may read and copy any materials that we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. You may also find all of the reports that we have filed electronically with the SEC at their Internet site www.sec.gov.

RISK FACTORS


As we are a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information under this item; however, we believe this information may be of value to our shareholders for this filing. We reserve the right not to provide risk factors in our future filings. Our primary risk factors and other considerations include:


Risks Related to the Company


You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this report before making an investment decision with regard to our securities.   If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.


In any business venture, there are substantial risks specific to the particular enterprise which cannot be ascertained until a potential acquisition, reorganization or merger candidate has been identified ; however, at a minimum, the Company s present and proposed business operations will be highly speculative and be subject to the same types of risks inherent in any new or unproven venture, and will include those types of risk factors outlined below.


Extremely Limited Assets ; No Source of Revenue


The Company has virtually no assets and has had no revenue for over the past twenty years or to the date hereof.  The Company can provide no assurance that any acquired business, including the business acquired in the Merger with Dala, will produce any material revenues for the Company or its stockholders or that any such business will operate on a profitable basis.


Auditor’s ‘Going Concern’ Opinion


The Independent Auditor’s Report issued in connection with the audited financial statements of our Company for the last fiscal year expresses “substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern,” due to our Company s status as a start up and our lack of profitable operations.


No Established Market for Common Stock ; No Market for Shares


On June 14, 2007, our common stock was approved for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board of the NASD under the symbol WSPD.” Since that time, there have been few trades and a limited volume of shares sold on the OTC Bulletin Board. Since September 30, 2013 only two hundred shares have traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. There is currently no established trading market for such shares and there can be no assurance that such a market will ever develop or be maintained. Any market price for shares of common stock of our Company is likely to be very volatile, and numerous factors beyond the control of our Company may have a significant effect. In addition, the stock markets generally have experienced, and continue to experience, extreme price and volume fluctuations which have affected the market price of many small capital companies and which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. These broad market fluctuations, as well as general economic and political conditions, may adversely affect the market price of our Company’s common stock in any market that may develop. Sales of “restricted securities” under Rule 144 may also have an adverse effect on any market that may develop.





17





Risks of “Penny Stock”


Our Company’s common stock may be deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined in Section 240.3a51­1 of the Exchange Act. Penny stocks are stocks (i) with a price of less than five dollars per share ; (ii) that are not traded on a recognized national exchange ; (iii) whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated  quotation system (NASDAQ­listed stocks must still meet requirement (i) above) ; or (iv) in issuers with net tangible  assets  less than $2,000,000 (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $5,000,000 (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6,000,000 for the last three years.


Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act and Rule 15g­2 of the Securities and Exchange Commission require broker­dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor’s account. Potential investors in our Company’s common stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing any shares that are deemed to be “penny stock.”


Moreover, Rule 15g­9 of the Securities and Exchange Commission requires broker­dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker­dealer to (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives ; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions ; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker­dealer made the determination in (ii) above ; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor s financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult for investors in our Company’s common stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them.


There has been no “established public market” for the Company’s common stock. On June 14, 2007, our Company obtained a trading symbol “WSPD” on the OTC Bulletin Board of the NASD. At such time as our Company completes a merger or acquisition transaction, if at all, we may attempt to qualify for quotation on either NASDAQ or a national securities exchange. However, at least initially, any trading in our common stock will most likely be conducted in the over­the­counter market in the pink sheets, the OTCQB or the OTC Bulletin Board.


Need for any Governmental Approval of Principal Products of Services


Because our Company currently produces no products or services, we are not presently subject to any governmental regulation in this regard. However, as a result of the Merger, , we will become subject to all governmental approval requirements to which the merged or acquired entity is subject. The oil exploration industry, the industry the Company will be engaged in post-Merger, is a highly-regulated industry, and the Company will need to obtain certain government approvals for its operations.


We May Not be Able to Effectively Manage Our Growth.


Our strategy envisions growing our business.  Any growth in or expansion of our business is likely to continue to place a strain on our management and administrative resources, infrastructure and systems.  As with other growing businesses, we expect that we will need to further refine and expand our business development capabilities, our systems and processes and our access to financing sources.  We also will need to hire, train, supervise and manage new employees.  These processes are time consuming and expensive, will increase management responsibilities and will divert management attention.  We cannot assure you that we will be able to:


·

expand our products effectively or efficiently or in a timely manner;


·

allocate our human resources optimally;


·

meet our capital needs;



18






·

identify and hire qualified employees or retain valued employees; or


·

incorporate effectively the components of any business or product line that we may acquire in our effort to achieve growth.


Our inability or failure to manage our growth and expansion effectively could harm our business and materially and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.


We Will be Required to Attract and Retain Top Quality Talent to Compete in the Marketplace.


We believe our future growth and success will depend in part on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled managerial, operational, and finance personnel.  There can be no assurance of success in attracting and retaining such personnel.  Shortages in qualified personnel could limit our ability to drill for oil and continue the exploration of the Property.


We Will be Subject to Evolving and Expensive Corporate Governance Regulations and Requirements.  Our Failure to Adequately Adhere to These Requirements or the Failure or Circumvention of Our Controls and Procedures Could Seriously Harm our Business.


As a publicly traded company, we are subject to various federal, state and other rules and regulations, including applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  Compliance with these evolving regulations is costly and requires a significant diversion of management time and attention, particularly with regard to our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting.  Our internal controls and procedures may not be able to prevent errors or fraud in the future.  Faulty judgments, simple errors or mistakes, or the failure of our personnel to adhere to established controls and procedures may make it difficult for us to ensure that the objectives of the control system are met.  A failure of our controls and procedures to detect other than inconsequential errors or fraud could seriously harm our business and results of operations.


Risks Related to Our Operations Post-Merger


Oil and Gas Price Fluctuations in the Market May Adversely Affect the Results of Our Operations.


Our profitability, cash flows and the carrying value of our oil and natural gas properties are highly dependent upon the market prices of oil and natural gas. Substantially all of our sales of oil and natural gas, if any, are made in the spot market, or pursuant to contracts based on spot market prices, and not pursuant to long-term, fixed-price contracts.  Accordingly, the prices received for our oil and natural gas production are dependent upon numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include the level of consumer product demand, governmental regulations and taxes, the price and availability of alternative fuels, the level of foreign imports of oil and natural gas and the overall economic environment.


Historically, the oil and natural gas markets have proven cyclical and volatile as a result of factors that are beyond our control.  Any additional declines in oil and natural gas prices or any other unfavorable market conditions could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and on the carrying value of our proved reserves.


Actual Quantities of Recoverable Oil and Gas Reserves and Future Cash Flows from those Reserves Most Likely Will Vary from Our Estimates.


Estimating accumulations of oil and gas is complex. The process relies on interpretations of available geological, geophysical, engineering and production data. The extent, quality and reliability of this data can vary. The process also requires certain economic assumptions, some of which are mandated by the SEC, such as oil and gas prices, drilling and operating expenses, capital expenditures, taxes and availability of funds. The accuracy of a reserve estimate is a function of:


·

the quality and quantity of available data;




19





·

the interpretation of that data;


·

the accuracy of various mandated economic assumptions; and


·

the judgment of the persons preparing the estimate.


Estimates of proved reserves prepared by others might differ materially from our estimates.  Actual quantities of recoverable oil and gas reserves, future production, oil and gas prices, revenues, taxes, development expenditures and operating expenses most likely will vary from our estimates.  Any significant variance could materially affect the quantities and net present value of our reserves.  In addition, we may adjust estimates of proved reserves to reflect production history, results of exploration and development and prevailing oil and gas prices. Our reserves also may be susceptible to drainage by operators on adjacent properties.


Our Operations Will Require Significant Expenditures of Capital that May Not be Recovered.


We will require significant expenditures of capital in order to locate and develop producing properties and to drill exploratory and exploitation wells.  In conducting exploration, exploitation and development activities from a particular well, the presence of unanticipated pressure or irregularities in formations, miscalculations or accidents may cause our exploration, exploitation, development and production activities to be unsuccessful, potentially resulting in abandonment of the well.  This could result in a total loss of our investment.  In addition, the cost and timing of drilling, completing and operating wells is difficult to predict.


Compliance with, or Breach of, Environmental Laws Can be Costly and Could Limit Our Operations.


Our operations will be subject to numerous and frequently changing laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection.  Any properties we might own for the exploration and production of oil and gas and the wastes disposed on these properties may be subject to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act and analogous state laws.  Under such laws, we could be required to remove or remediate previously released wastes or property contamination.  Laws and regulations protecting the environment have generally become more stringent and may, in some cases, impose “strict liability” for environmental damage.  Strict liability means that we may be held liable for damage without regard to whether we were negligent or otherwise at fault.  Environmental laws and regulations may expose us to liability for the conduct of or conditions caused by others or for acts that were in compliance with all applicable laws at the time they were performed.  Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the imposition of administrative, civil and criminal penalties.


Although we believe that our operations are in substantial compliance with existing requirements of governmental bodies, our ability to conduct continued operations is subject to satisfying applicable regulatory and permitting controls. Our current permits and authorizations and ability to get future permits and authorizations may be susceptible on a going forward basis, to increased scrutiny, greater complexity resulting in increased costs, or delays in receiving appropriate authorizations.


We are Subject to Changing Laws and Regulations and Other Governmental Actions that Can Significantly and Adversely Affect Our Business.


Federal, state, local, territorial and foreign laws and regulations relating to tax increases and retroactive tax claims, disallowance of tax credits and deductions, expropriation or nationalization of property, mandatory government participation, cancellation or amendment of contract rights, and changes in import and export regulations, limitations on access to exploration and development opportunities, as well as other political developments may affect our operations.

Because of the speculative nature of oil and gas exploration, there is risk that we will not find commercially exploitable oil and gas and that our business will fail.


The search for commercial quantities of oil and natural gas as a business is extremely risky. We cannot provide investors with any assurance that any properties in which we obtain a mineral interest will contain commercially exploitable quantities of oil and/or gas.  The exploration expenditures to be made by us may not result in the discovery of commercial quantities of oil and/or gas.  Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations or pressures, premature declines of reservoirs, invasion of water into producing formations and other conditions involved in oil and gas exploration often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. If we are unable to find commercially exploitable quantities of oil and gas, and/or we are unable to commercially extract such quantities, we may be forced to abandon or curtail our business plan, and as a result, any investment in us may become worthless.


We May Not Produce Any Oil or Gas.


We are an exploratory company and although the Property has been thoroughly explored and tested, we may not actually discover or produced any oil or gas.


The Oil and Gas we Produce May Not be Readily Marketable at the Time of Production.


Crude oil, natural gas, condensate and other oil and gas products are generally sold to other oil and gas companies, government agencies and other industries.  The availability of ready markets for oil and gas that we might discover and the prices obtained for such oil and gas depend on many factors beyond our control, including:


·

the extent of local production and imports of oil and gas,


·

the proximity and capacity of pipelines and other transportation facilities,


·

fluctuating demand for oil and gas,


·

the marketing of competitive fuels, and


·

the effects of governmental regulation of oil and gas production and sales.


Natural gas associated with oil production is often not marketable due to demand or transportation limitations and is often flared at the producing well site.  Pipeline facilities do not exist in certain areas of exploration and, therefore, we intend on utilizing trucks to transport any oil that is discovered.


The price of oil and natural gas has historically been volatile.  If it were to decrease substantially, our projections, budgets and revenues would be adversely affected, potentially forcing us to make changes in our operations.


Our future financial condition, results of operations and the carrying value of any oil and natural gas interests we acquire will depend primarily upon the prices paid for oil and natural gas production. Oil and natural gas prices historically have been volatile and likely will continue to be volatile in the future, especially given current world geopolitical conditions. Our cash flows from operations are highly dependent on the prices that we receive for oil and natural gas. This price volatility also affects the amount of our cash flows available for capital expenditures and our ability to borrow money or raise additional capital. The prices for oil and natural gas are subject to a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control. These factors include:


·

the level of consumer demand for oil and natural gas;


·

the domestic and foreign supply of oil and natural gas;


·

the ability of the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") to agree to and maintain oil price and production controls;


·

the price of foreign oil and natural gas;



21






·

domestic governmental regulations and taxes;


·

the price and availability of alternative fuel sources;


·

weather conditions;


·

market uncertainty due to political conditions in oil and natural gas producing regions, including the Middle East; and


·

worldwide economic conditions.


These factors as well as the volatility of the energy markets generally make it extremely difficult to predict future oil and natural gas price movements with any certainty. Declines in oil and natural gas prices affect our revenues, and could reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that we can produce economically.  Accordingly, such declines could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, oil and natural gas reserves and the carrying values of our oil and natural gas properties. If the oil and natural gas industry experiences significant price declines, we may be unable to make planned expenditures, among other things. If this were to happen, we may be forced to abandon or curtail our business operations, which would cause the value of an investment in us to decline in value, or become worthless.


Because of the inherent dangers involved in oil and gas operations, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages as we conduct our business operations, which could force us to expend a substantial amount of money in connection with litigation and/or a settlement.


The oil and natural gas business involves a variety of operating hazards and risks such as well blowouts, pipe failures, casing collapse, explosions, uncontrollable flows of oil, natural gas or well fluids, fires, spills, pollution, releases of toxic gas and other environmental hazards and risks. These hazards and risks could result in substantial losses to us from, among other things, injury or loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property, natural resources and equipment, pollution or other environmental damage, cleanup responsibilities, regulatory investigation and penalties and suspension of operations. In addition, we may be liable for environmental damages caused by previous owners of property purchased and leased by us. As a result, substantial liabilities to third parties or governmental entities may be incurred, the payment of which could reduce or eliminate the funds available for exploration, development or acquisitions or result in the loss of our properties and/or force us to expend substantial monies in connection with litigation or settlements. We currently have no insurance to cover such losses and liabilities, and even if insurance is obtained, there can be no assurance that it will be adequate to cover any losses or liabilities. We cannot predict the availability of insurance or the availability of insurance at premium levels that justify our purchase. The occurrence of a significant event not fully insured or indemnified against could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and operations. We may elect to self-insure if management believes that the cost of insurance, although available, is excessive relative to the risks presented. In addition, pollution and environmental risks generally are not fully insurable. The occurrence of an event not fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations, which could lead to any investment in us becoming worthless.


We May Encounter Operating Hazards that May Result in Substantial Losses.


We will be subject to operating hazards normally associated with the exploration and production of oil and gas, including hurricanes, blowouts, explosions, oil spills, cratering, pollution, earthquakes, labor disruptions and fires.  The occurrence of any such operating hazards could result in substantial losses to us due to injury or loss of life and damage to or destruction of oil and gas wells, formations, production facilities or other properties.  We maintain insurance coverage limiting financial loss resulting from certain of these operating hazards.  We do not maintain full insurance coverage for all matters that may adversely affect our operations, including war, terrorism, nuclear reactions, government fines, treatment of waste, blowout expenses, wind damage and business interruptions.  Losses and liabilities arising from uninsured or underinsured events could reduce our revenues or increase our costs. There can be no assurance that any insurance will be adequate to cover losses or liabilities associated with operational hazards.  We cannot predict the continued availability of insurance, or its availability at premium levels that justify its purchase.




22





We Face Strong Competition From Larger Oil and Gas Companies, which Could Result in Adverse Effects on Our Business.


The exploration and production business is highly competitive.  Many of our competitors have substantially larger financial resources, staffs and facilities.  Our competitors in the United States include numerous major oil and gas exploration and production companies.  Additionally, other companies engaged in our line of business may compete with us from time to time in obtaining capital from investors.  Competitors include larger companies which, in particular, may have access to greater resources, may be more successful in the recruitment and retention of qualified employees and may conduct their own refining and petroleum marketing operations, which may give them a competitive advantage.  Actual or potential competitors may be strengthened through the acquisition of additional assets and interests.  Additionally, there are numerous companies focusing their resources on creating fuels and/or materials which serve the same purpose as oil and gas, but are manufactured from renewable resources.


Our estimates of the volume of reserves could have flaws, or such reserves could turn out not to be commercially extractable. As a result, our future revenues and projections could be incorrect.


Estimates of reserves and of future net revenues prepared by different petroleum engineers may vary substantially depending, in part, on the assumptions made and may be subject to adjustment either up or down in the future. Our actual amounts of production, revenue, taxes, development expenditures, operating expenses, and quantities of recoverable oil and gas reserves may vary substantially from the estimates.  Oil and gas reserve estimates are necessarily inexact and involve matters of subjective engineering judgment. In addition, any estimates of our future net revenues and the present value thereof are based on assumptions derived in part from historical price and cost information, which may not reflect current and future values, and/or other assumptions made by us that only represent our best estimates. If these estimates of quantities, prices and costs prove inaccurate, we may be unsuccessful in expanding our oil and gas reserves base with our acquisitions. Additionally, if declines in and instability of oil and gas prices occur, then write downs in the capitalized costs associated with any oil and gas assets we obtain may be required. Because of the nature of the estimates of our reserves and estimates in general, we can provide no assurance that reductions to our estimated proved oil and gas reserves and estimated future net revenues will not be required in the future, and/or that our estimated reserves will be present and/or commercially extractable. If our reserve estimates are incorrect, the value of our common stock could decrease and we may be forced to write down the capitalized costs of our oil and gas properties.


Our business will suffer if we cannot obtain or maintain necessary licenses.


Our operations will require licenses, permits and in some cases renewals of licenses and permits from various governmental authorities.  Our ability to obtain, sustain or renew such licenses and permits on acceptable terms is subject to change in regulations and policies and to the discretion of the applicable governments, among other factors.  Our inability to obtain, or our loss of or denial of extension of, any of these licenses or permits could hamper our ability to produce revenues from our operations.


Our Operations are Subject to Various Litigation that Could Have an Adverse Effect on Our Business.


From time to time we may become a defendant in various litigation matters.  The nature of our operations expose us to further possible litigation claims in the future.  There is risk that any matter in litigation could be adversely decided against us regardless of our belief, opinion and position, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.  Litigation is highly costly and the costs associated with defending litigation could also have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.


We May be Affected by Global Climate Change or by Legal, Regulatory, or Market Responses to Such Change.


The growing political and scientific sentiment is that increased concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are influencing global weather patterns.  Changing weather patterns, along with the increased frequency or duration of extreme weather conditions, could impact the availability or increase the cost to produce our products.  Additionally, the sale of our products can be impacted by weather conditions.




23





Concern over climate change, including global warming, has led to legislative and regulatory initiatives directed at limiting the greenhouse gas emissions.  For example, proposals that would impose mandatory requirements on greenhouse gas emissions continue to be considered by policy makers in the territories we operate.  Laws enacted that directly or indirectly affect our oil and gas production could impact our business and financial results.


Risks Related to our Securities


Our Stock Price May be Volatile, which May Result in Losses to Our Shareholders.


The stock markets have experienced significant price and trading volume fluctuations, and the market prices of companies listed on the over-the-counter Bulletin Board quotation system in which shares of our common stock are listed, have been volatile in the past and have experienced sharp share price and trading volume changes. The trading price of our common stock is likely to be volatile and could fluctuate widely in response to many factors, including the following, some of which are beyond our control:


·

variations in our operating results;


·

changes in expectations of our future financial performance, including financial estimates by securities analysts and investors;


·

changes in operating and stock price performance of other companies in our industry;


·

additions or departures of key personnel; and


·

future sales of our common stock.


Domestic and international stock markets often experience significant price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations, as well as general economic and political conditions unrelated to our performance, may adversely affect the price of our common stock.


Our Common Shares May Become Thinly Traded and You May be Unable to Sell at or Near Ask Prices, or at All.


We cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for trading our common stock will be sustained.


This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community who generate or influence sales volume.  Even if we came to the attention of such persons, those persons tend to be risk-averse and may be reluctant to follow, purchase, or recommend the purchase of shares of an unproven company such as ours until such time as we become more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained.


The market price for our common stock is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively small company, which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. You may be unable to sell your common stock at or above your purchase price if at all, which may result in substantial losses to you.




24






Shareholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.


Because the SEC Imposes Additional Sales Practice Requirements on Brokers Who Deal in Shares of Penny Stocks, Some Brokers May be Unwilling to Trade Our Securities. This Means that You May have Difficulty Reselling Your Shares, which May Cause the Value of Your Investment to Decline.


Our shares are classified as penny stocks and are covered by Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act which imposes additional sales practice requirements on brokers-dealers who sell our securities. For sales of our securities, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination and receive a written agreement prior from you to making a sale on your behalf. Because of the imposition of the foregoing additional sales practices, it is possible that broker-dealers will not want to make a market in our common stock. This could prevent you from reselling your shares and may cause the value of your investment to decline.


Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) Sales Practice Requirements May Limit Your Ability to Buy and Sell Our Common Stock, which Could Depress the Price of Our Shares.


FINRA rules require broker-dealers to have reasonable grounds for believing that an investment is suitable for a customer before recommending that investment to the customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status and investment objectives, among other things. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability such speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. Thus, FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our shares, have an adverse effect on the market for our shares, and thereby depress our share price.


Volatility in Our Common Share Price May Subject Us to Securities Litigation.


The market for our common stock is characterized by significant price volatility as compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may, in the future, be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management's attention and resources.





25





Our Business is Subject to Changing Regulations Related to Corporate Governance and Public Disclosure that have Increased Both Our Costs and the Risk of Noncompliance.


Because our common stock is publicly traded, we are subject to certain rules and regulations of federal, state and financial market exchange entities charged with the protection of investors and the oversight of companies whose securities are publicly traded. These entities, including the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the SEC and FINRA, have issued requirements and regulations and continue to develop additional regulations and requirements in response to corporate scandals and laws enacted by Congress, most notably the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our efforts to comply with these regulations have resulted in, and are likely to continue resulting in, increased general and administrative expenses and diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. Because new and modified laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations in many cases due to their lack of specificity, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This evolution may result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and additional costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to our disclosure and governance practices.


We Will Incur Increased Costs and Compliance Risks as a Result of Becoming a Public Company.


We will incur costs associated with our public company reporting requirements. We also anticipate that we will incur costs associated with recently adopted corporate governance requirements, including certain requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as new rules implemented by the SEC and FINRA.  We expect these rules and regulations, in particular Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. Like many smaller public companies, we face a significant impact from required compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 requires management of public companies to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and the independent auditors to attest to the effectiveness of such internal controls and the evaluation performed by management. The SEC has adopted rules implementing Section 404 for public companies as well as disclosure requirements. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, has adopted documentation and attestation standards that the independent auditors must follow in conducting its attestation under Section 404. We are currently preparing for compliance with Section 404; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively meet all of the requirements of Section 404 as currently known to us in the currently mandated timeframe. Any failure to implement effectively new or improved internal controls, or to resolve difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results, cause us to fail to meet reporting obligations or result in management being required to give a qualified assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting or our independent auditors providing an adverse opinion regarding management’s assessment. Any such result could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.


We also expect these new rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our Board of Directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these new rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.





26





Sales of Our Currently Issued and Outstanding Stock May Become Freely Tradable Pursuant to Rule 144 and May Dilute the Market for Your Shares and have a Depressive Effect on the Price of the Shares of Our Common Stock.


A majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (“Rule 144”). As restricted shares, these shares may be resold only pursuant to an effective registration statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and as required under applicable state securities laws. Rule 144 provides in essence that one year following a company ceasing to be a “shell company” and filing Form 10 information with the SEC to that effect, a non-affiliate who has held restricted securities for a period of at least six months may sell their shares of common stock. Under Rule 144, affiliates who have held restricted securities for a period of at least six months may, under certain conditions, sell every three months, in brokerage transactions, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of a company’s outstanding shares of common stock or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to the sale (the four calendar week rule does not apply to companies quoted on the OTCQB). Pursuant to Rule 144, shareholders must wait at least one year from the date of our filing of a Form 8-K with requisite Form 10 information to avail themselves of Rule 144 unless we file a registration statement for the sale of such shares prior thereto. A sale under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Securities Act, if available, or pursuant to subsequent registrations of our shares of common stock, may have a depressive effect upon the price of our shares of common stock in any active market that may develop.


FINANCIAL INFORMATION


Please see the pro-forma financial statements for Dala and Westcott as of March 31, 2014 .  See Item 9.01.


PROPERTIES


Dala does not own any property but has the rights to engage in oil exploration and development on approximately 300 leases in north central Kansas with total acreage of approximately 80,000 acres (the “Property”). The cost of the 300 lease assets was $1,898,946.

For the next fiscal year, we will conduct our administrative affairs from our President’s office, at minimal cost to the Company.

Background of Executive Officer and Directors


E.

Pursuant to the Merger, Westcott granted Mr. Gray 400,000 stock options and granted Mr. Cottman and Mr. Wimbish each 100,000 stock options.


Director Qualifications


In evaluating potential directors, we have considered the following factors, among others:


·

The appropriate size of our Board of Directors relative to our business;

·

Our needs with respect to the particular talents and experience of our directors;

·

The knowledge, skills and experience of directors;

·

Familiarity with our business;

·

Experience with accounting rules and practices; and

·

The desire to balance the benefit of continuity with the periodic injection of the fresh perspective that may be provided by new members, when an increase in the size of our Board of Director is deemed to be reasonable.


Our goal is to assemble a Board of Directors that brings together a variety of perspectives and skills derived from high quality business and professional experience. In doing so, we will also consider candidates with appropriate non-business backgrounds.


Term of Office


Directors serve until the next annual meeting of our shareholders or until their successors are elected and qualify or until the earlier occurrence of his or her death, resignation or removal by our Board of Directors or shareholders. Each of our executive officers is elected by our Board of Directors, and their terms of office are at the discretion of our Board of Directors.  Our executive officers serve until the earlier occurrence of the election of his or her successor at the next annual meeting of our Board of Directors, death, resignation or removal by our Board of Directors.


Identification of Significant Employees


We have no significant employees other than E. Will Gray II, our Chief Executive Officer, and a director.


Material Relationships between Our Affiliates and Dala Petroleum Corp.

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert


We do not have an audit committee or an audit committee financial expert (as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K) serving on our Board of Directors.  With our current business model, we do not believe we presently need an audit committee, but our Board of Directors will reevaluate this determination at least annually.


Code of Ethics


Our Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Ethics that is filed as an Exhibit to this Current Report.  See Item 9.01.


EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION


Our chief executive officer will be compensated according to the terms of his Employment Agreement with the Company. He will receive a salary of $175,000 annually, standard health and employment benefits, and 400,000 incentive stock options at an exercise price of $0.70 that will vest over six years.


There are no other employment contracts (except for the Employment Agreement for Mr. Gray described herein), compensatory plans or arrangements, including payments to be received from us with respect to any executive officer, that would result in payments to such person because of his or her resignation, retirement or other termination of employment with the Company, or its subsidiaries, any change in control, or a change in the person’s responsibilities following a change in control of the Company.


Outstanding Equity Awards


As part of the Merger, the Company’s newly-appointed Chief Executive Officer and Directors were granted a total of 600,000 stock options. Mr. Gray was granted 400,000 stock options at an exercise price of $0.70 that will vest over six years (unless there is a change of control of the Company or if Dala’s operations are acquired by a third party, at which time all the unvested stock options granted under the Plan will immediately vest and be exercisable). Mr. Cottman and Mr. Wimbish were each granted 100,000 stock options at an exercise price of $0.70 that will vest over six years (unless there is a change of control of the Company or if Dala’s operations are acquired by a third party, at which time all the unvested stock options granted under the Plan will immediately vest and be exercisable).


Director Compensation


Currently, our directors receive no annual compensation for their service on the Board of Directors other than their receipt of stock options granted as part of the Merger.


Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation


We currently do not have a compensation committee of our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors, comprised presently of three people, determines executive compensation.




33





Long-Term Incentive Plans


There are no arrangements or plans in which we provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for directors or executive officers.


CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE


Director Independence


For purposes of determining director independence, we have applied the definitions set out in NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2).  The OTCBB, on which shares of our common stock are quoted, does not have any director independence requirements.  The NASDAQ definition of “Independent Officer” means, among other considerations, a person other than an “Executive Officer” or an employee or any other individual having a relationship, which in the opinion of the Company’s Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.


According to the NASDAQ definition, E. Will Gray II is not an independent director because he is also an executive officer of the Company and a director.


Related Party Transactions


Dala has entered into a service agreement with Chisholm II, giving Dala the rights to use Chisholm II’s existing technical exploration team to further explore and develop the Property.


Pacific Oil & Gas LLC, a shareholder of Chisholm II, is owned in part by Clancy Cottman, our Chairman.


LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which our director, executive officer or any affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.


MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDEND ON THE REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS


Market Information


Our common stock was listed on the OTC Bulletin Board of the National Association of Securities Dealers (“NASD” [now “FINRA”] ) on June 14, 2007, under the symbol “WSPD.” There is currently no established trading market for shares of our common stock.  Management does not expect any viable market to develop in our common stock unless and until we complete an acquisition or merger. In any event, no assurance can be given that any market for our common stock will develop or be maintained.



For any market that develops for our common stock, the sale of “restricted securities” (common stock) pursuant to Rule 144 of the SEC by members of management or any other person to whom any such securities may be issued in the future may have a substantial adverse impact on any such public market.  For information regarding the requirements of resales under Rule 144, see the heading “Rule 144” of this item below.

Shell Companies


The following is an excerpt from Rule 144(i) regarding resales of securities of shell companies:


“(i)  Unavailability to securities of issuers with no or nominal operations and no or nominal non-cash assets .


(1)

This section is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by an issuer defined below:


(i)   An issuer, other than a business combination related shell company, as defined in §230.405, or an asset-backed issuer, as defined in Item 1101(b) of Regulation AB (§229.1101(b) of this chapter), that has:


(A)

No or nominal operations; and


(B)

Either :


(1)   No or nominal assets;

(2)   Assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or

(3)   Assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets; or


(ii)

An issuer that has been at any time previously an issuer described in paragraph (i)(1)(i).


(2)

Notwithstanding paragraph (i)(1), if the issuer of the securities previously had been an issuer described in paragraph (i)(1)(i) but has ceased to be an issuer described in paragraph (i)(1)(i); is subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the issue was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports (§249.308 of this chapter); and has filed current “Form 10 information” with the Commission reflecting its status as an entity that is no longer an issuer described in paragraph (i)(1)(i), then those securities may be sold subject to the requirements of this section after one year has elapsed from the date that the issuer filed “Form 10 information” with the Commission.


(3)

The term “Form 10 information” means the information that is required by Form 10 or Form 20-F (§249.220f of this chapter), as applicable to the issuer of the securities, to register under the Exchange Act each class of securities being sold under this rule.  The issuer may provide the Form 10 information in any filing of the issuer with the Commission.  The Form 10 information is deemed filed when the initial filing is made with the Commission.”


Securities of a “shell company” cannot be publicly sold under Rule 144 in the absence of compliance with subparagraph (i) of Rule 144, though the SEC has implied that these restrictions would not be enforced respecting securities issued by a “shell company” prior to it having been determined to be a “shell company.” The filing of this Current Report is intended to satisfy the filing of the “Form 10 Information” and commence the one year holding period of Rule 144(i).


Holders


We had approximately 556 common stockholders of record as of June 3, 2014.  We have 13 preferred stockholders of record as of June 3, 2014.




36





Warrants


We have issued 2,892,857 warrants to purchase our common stock at an exercise price of $1.35 per share within three years of the Effective Date  (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement of the Offering Documents.) The Effective Date is defined as earliest of the date that (a) the initial Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission, (b) all of the underlying shares have been sold pursuant to Rule 144 or may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or (c) following the one year anniversary of the Closing Date provided that a holder of underlying shares is not an Affiliate of the Company, all of the underlying shares may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(1) of the Securities Act without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and Company counsel has delivered to such holders a standing written unqualified opinion that resales may then be made by such holders of the underlying shares pursuant to such exemption which opinion shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such holders.


Dividends


To date, the Company has not declared or paid cash dividends on its common stock.  The Company presently intends to retain all future earnings, if any, for its business and does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.


The Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock offered as part of the Offering will pay a dividend of six percent (6%) per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, as further described in the Certificate of Designation filed on May 30, 2014.


When and as declared by the Board of Directors, holders of the outstanding shares of common stock offered hereby will be entitled to non-cumulative dividends.  Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be dependent upon the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, general business conditions, and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant.


Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans


The Company has granted 600,000 incentive employee stock options to its Chief Executive Officer and Directors pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

(1)    The Company offered the Units on a “best efforts” basis up to the Maximum Offering and may allow for oversubscription amounts up to 2,775 units.


(2)    The Company expects to incur certain accountable expenses related to this Offering, including printing, Blue Sky fees, filing fees, escrow fees, audit preparation and review fees, printing, postage, professional fees, the assumption of certain liabilities of Westcott, and travel expenses.


(3)    Represents estimated amounts we will apply towards dividends payable pursuant to the rights and preferences of the Series A 6% Convertible Preferred shares, working capital to cover our expected operating deficits for twelve months, salaries and general and administrative expenses and our costs to be a reporting public company.


The foregoing represents our best estimate of the allocation of the proceeds of the Offering based on our present plans and business conditions.  However, there can be no assurance that unforeseen events or changes in business conditions will not result in the application of proceeds of the Offering in a manner other than is described in this Memorandum.  Any such reallocation of the net proceeds of this Offering would be substantially limited to the categories set forth above. We believe we will have sufficient working capital for twelve months if we sell the Maximum Offering.  Pending such uses, we may invest such funds in short-term, interest-bearing securities where there is appropriate safety of principal or in interest-bearing bank accounts.


Purchases of Equity Securities by Us and Affiliated Purchasers


On February 12, 2014, E. Will Gray II (then our Secretary and Director, and currently serving as our Chief Executive Officer) purchased 890,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company at the purchase price of $0.01 per share. With the exception of the information provided under the heading “Changes in Control” of the caption “Securities Ownership of Management and Certain Beneficial Holders,” there were no other purchases of any of our outstanding securities by us or our affiliated persons during our last two fiscal years ended September 30, 2013, and 2012.




38






DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES


We have an authorized capital of 100,000,000 shares divided into 50,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01, with 2,775 of the 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock designated as Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock 2,025 of which none are outstanding.


Common Stock


Prior to the Merger, there were 2,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding. As consideration for the Merger, Chisholm II, the sole shareholder of Dala, received 10,000,000 restricted shares of Westcott. Immediately following the Merger, there will be 12,500,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding in the Company without conversion of any Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock (or exercise of any stock options or warrants) into common stock.


Preferred Stock


Prior to the Offering, no shares of Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock had been issued. Through the Offering, the Company has now issued 2,025 shares of Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock.


The Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock has been designated with certain rights, preferences and limitations. Holders of Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the rate per share of 6% per annum, payable quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1, in cash from legally available funds or, at the Company’s option, in duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock.  Each share of Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the Holder into common stock at the conversion price of $0.70 per common share based on the total dollar amount invested (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation) Unless waived by the Holder, at no time will the Holder be able to convert the Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock into common stock that is equal to more than 4.99% of the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Conversion Limitation”). If the Holder gives the Company at least 61 days’ written notice, then the Holder may convert up to 9.99% of the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.


Within sixty days of the Closing of the Offering, the Company shall file a Registration Statement registering all Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) including the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock, the warrant shares offered in the Offering, and any shares that may be paid to the Holder as dividends on the Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company shall cause the Registration Statement to become effective within 180 days following the filing date (in the event of a “full review” by the SEC) or 150 days (if there is not a “full review” by the SEC). All fees associated with the Registration shall be borne by the Company. The Company may incur certain cash liquidated damages if the terms and timelines of the Registration Rights Agreement are not met.


Stock Options


The Company issued incentive stock options in connection with the Merger. The Company’s newly-appointed Chief Executive Officer and Directors were granted a total of 600,000 stock options. Mr. Gray was granted 400,000 stock options at an exercise price of $0.70 that will vest over six years (unless there is a change of control of the Company or if Dala’s operations are acquired by a third party, at which time all the unvested stock options granted under the Plan will immediately vest and be exercisable). Mr. Cottman and Mr. Wimbish were each granted 100,000 stock options at an exercise price of $0.70 that will vest over six years (unless there is a change in control of the Company or if Dala’s operations are acquired by a third party, at which time all the unvested stock options granted under the Plan will immediately vest and be exercisable).




39






INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS


Our directors and officers is indemnified as provided by the Delaware General Corporation Law (“Section 145”) and our bylaws.  We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event of a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is asserted by one of our directors, executive officers or controlling persons,  we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy to a court of appropriate jurisdiction.  We will then be governed by the court’s decision.

Dividends in Cash or in Kind .  Holders shall be entitled to receive, and the Corporation shall pay, cumulative dividends at the rate per share (as a percentage of the Stated Value per share) of 6% per annum (subject to increase pursuant to Section 10(b)) , payable quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, beginning on the first such date after the Original Issue Date and on each Conversion Date (with respect only to Preferred Stock being converted) (each such date, a “ Dividend Payment Date ”) (if any Dividend Payment Date is not a Trading Day, the applicable payment shall be due on the next succeeding Trading Day)  in cash, or at the Corporation’s option, in duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as set forth in this Section 3(a), or a combination thereof (the dollar amount to be paid in shares of Common Stock, the “ Dividend Share Amount ”).  The form of dividend payments to each Holder shall be determined in the following order of priority: (i) if funds are legally available for the payment of dividends and the Equity Conditions have not been met during the 20 consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date (the “ Dividend Notice Period ”), in cash only, (ii) if funds are legally available for the payment of dividends and the Equity Conditions have been met during the Dividend Notice Period, at the sole election of the Corporation, in cash or shares of Common Stock which shall be valued at the Dividend Conversion Rate, (iii) if funds are not legally available for the payment of dividends and the Equity Conditions have been met during the Dividend Notice Period, in shares of Common Stock which shall be valued at the Dividend Conversion Rate, (iv) if funds are not legally available for the payment of dividends and the Equity Condition relating to an effective Conversion Shares Registration Statement has been waived by such Holder, as to such Holder only, in unregistered shares of Common Stock which shall be valued at the Dividend Conversion Rate, and (v) if funds are not legally available for the payment of dividends and the Equity Conditions have not been met during the Dividend Notice Period, then, at the election of such Holder, such dividends shall accrue to the next Dividend Payment Date or shall be accreted to, and increase, the outstanding Stated Value.  In addition, as a condition to paying dividends in shares of Common Stock, as to such Dividend Payment Date, prior to such Dividend Notice Period (but not more than five (5) Trading Days prior to the commencement of such Dividend Notice Period), the Corporation shall have delivered to each Holder’s account with The Depository Trust Company a number of shares of Common Stock to be applied against such Dividend Share Amount equal to the quotient of (x) the applicable Dividend Share Amount divided by (y) the Dividend Conversion Rate, assuming for such purposes that the Dividend Payment Date is the Trading Day immediately prior to the commencement of the Dividend Notice Period (the “ Dividend Conversion Shares ”).  The Holders shall have the same rights and remedies with respect to the delivery of any such shares as if such shares were being issued pursuant to Section 6.


b)

Corporation’s Ability to Pay Dividends in Cash or Kind .  On the Closing Date, the Corporation shall have notified the Holders whether or not it may legally pay cash dividends as of the Closing Date.  The Corporation shall promptly notify the Holders at any time the Corporation shall become able or unable, as the case may be, to legally pay cash dividends. If at any time the Corporation has the right to pay dividends in cash or shares of Common Stock, the Corporation must provide the Holders with at least 20 Trading Days’ notice of its election to pay a regularly scheduled dividend in shares of Common Stock (the Corporation may indicate in such notice that the election contained in such notice shall continue for later periods until revised by a subsequent notice).  The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to a Holder on a Dividend Payment Date shall be reduced by the number of shares of Common Stock previously issued to such Holder in connection with such Dividend Payment Date.  If any Dividend Conversion Shares are issued to a Holder in connection with a Dividend Payment Date and are not applied against a Dividend Share Amount, then such Holder shall promptly return such excess shares to the Corporation.




8





c)

Dividend Calculations . Dividends on the Preferred Stock shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30 calendar day periods, and shall accrue daily commencing on the Original Issue Date, and shall be deemed to accrue from such date whether or not earned or declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends.   Payment of dividends in shares of Common Stock shall otherwise occur pursuant to Section 6(c)(i) herein and, solely for purposes of the payment of dividends in shares, the Dividend Payment Date shall be deemed the Conversion Date.  Dividends shall cease to accrue with respect to any Preferred Stock converted, provided that, the Corporation actually delivers the Conversion Shares within the time period required by Section 6(c)(i) herein.  Except as otherwise provided herein, if at any time the Corporation pays dividends partially in cash and partially in shares, then such payment shall be distributed ratably among the Holders based upon the number of shares of Preferred Stock held by each Holder on such Dividend Payment Date.


d)

Late Fees . Any dividends, whether paid in cash or shares of Common Stock, that are not paid within three Trading Days following a Dividend Payment Date shall continue to accrue and shall entail a late fee, which must be paid in cash, at the rate of 18% per annum or the lesser rate permitted by applicable law which shall accrue daily from the Dividend Payment Date through and including the date of actual payment in full.

 

e)

Other Securities . So long as any Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding, neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary thereof shall redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any Junior Securities except as expressly permitted by Section 10(a)(ix). So long as any Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding, neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary thereof shall directly or indirectly pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution upon (other than a dividend or distribution described in Section 6 or dividends due and paid in the ordinary course on preferred stock of the Corporation at such times when the Corporation is in compliance with its payment and other obligations hereunder), nor shall any distribution be made in respect of, any Junior Securities as long as any dividends due on the Preferred Stock remain unpaid, nor shall any monies be set aside for or applied to the purchase or redemption (through a sinking fund or otherwise) of any Junior Securities or shares pari passu with the Preferred Stock.


f)

Special Reserves . The Corporation acknowledges and agrees that the capital of the Corporation in respect of the Preferred Stock and any future issuances of the Corporation’s capital stock shall be equal to the aggregate par value of such Preferred Stock or capital stock, as the case may be, and that, on or after the date of the Purchase Agreement, it shall not increase the capital of the Corporation with respect to any shares of the Corporation’s capital stock issued and outstanding on such date.  The Corporation also acknowledges and agrees that it shall not create any special reserves without the prior written consent of each Holder.


Section 4 .

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “ Liquidation ”), the Holders shall be entitled to receive out of the assets, whether capital or surplus, of the Corporation an amount equal to the Stated Value, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon and any other fees or liquidated damages then due and owing thereon under this Certificate of Designation, for each share of Preferred Stock before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Junior Securities, and if the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to pay in full such amounts, then the entire assets to be distributed to the Holders shall be ratably distributed among the Holders in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full.  A Fundamental Transaction or Change of Control Transaction shall not be deemed a Liquidation. The Corporation shall mail written notice of any such Liquidation, not less than 45 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each Holder.


Section 6 .

Conversion .


a)

Conversions at Option of Holder . Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at any time and from time to time from and after the Original Issue Date at the option of the Holder thereof, into that number of shares of Common Stock (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6(d)) determined by dividing the Stated Value of such share of Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price. Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “ Notice of Conversion ”). Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, the number of shares of Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of shares of Preferred Stock owned subsequent to the conversion at issue and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the applicable Holder delivers by facsimile such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation (such date, the “ Conversion Date ”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation is deemed delivered hereunder. No ink-original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required.   The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error.  To effect conversions of shares of Preferred Stock, a Holder shall not be required to surrender the certificate(s) representing the shares of Preferred Stock to the Corporation unless all of the shares of Preferred Stock represented thereby are so converted, in which case such Holder shall deliver the certificate representing such shares of Preferred Stock promptly following the Conversion Date at issue.  Shares of Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock or redeemed in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and shall not be reissued.


b)

Conversion Price .  The conversion price for the Preferred Stock shall equal $0.70, subject to adjustment herein (the “ Conversion Price ”).


c)

Mechanics of Conversion


i.

Delivery of Conversion Shares Upon Conversion . Not later than three (3) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “ Share Delivery Date ”), the Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder (A) the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock (including, if the Corporation has given continuous notice pursuant to Section 3(b) for payment of dividends in shares of Common Stock at least 20 Trading Days prior to the date on which the Notice of Conversion is delivered to the Corporation, shares of Common Stock representing the payment of accrued dividends otherwise determined pursuant to Section 3(a) but assuming that the Dividend Notice Period is the 20 Trading Days period immediately prior to the date on which the Notice of Conversion is delivered to the Corporation and excluding for such issuance the condition that the Corporation deliver the Dividend Share Amount as to such dividend payment prior to the commencement of the Dividend Notice Period) which, on or after the earlier of (i) the six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date or (ii) the Effective Date, shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those which may then be required by the Purchase Agreement), and (B) a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends (if the Corporation has elected or is required to pay



10




accrued dividends in cash). On or after the earlier of (i) the six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date or (ii) the Effective Date, the Corporation shall deliver the Conversion Shares required to be delivered by the Corporation under this Section 6 electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.


ii.

Failure to Deliver Conversion Shares .  If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such Conversion Shares are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before its receipt of such Conversion Shares, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Corporation shall promptly return to the Holder any original Preferred Stock certificate delivered to the Corporation and the Holder shall promptly return to the Corporation the Conversion Shares issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Conversion Notice.


iii.

Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages .  The Corporation’s obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by such Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by such Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to such Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided , however , that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Corporation of any such action that the Corporation may have against such Holder.  In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of the Stated Value of its Preferred Stock, the Corporation may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and/or enjoining conversion of all or part of the Preferred Stock of such Holder shall have been sought and obtained, and the Corporation posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 150% of the Stated Value of Preferred Stock which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment.  In the absence of such injunction, the Corporation shall issue Conversion Shares and, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Corporation fails to deliver to a Holder such Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 6(c)(i) on the third Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date applicable to such conversion, the Corporation shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $5,000 of Stated Value of Preferred Stock being converted, $50 per Trading Day (increasing to $100 per Trading Day on the third Trading Day and increasing to $200 per Trading Day on the sixth Trading Day after such damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such second Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date until such Conversion Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such conversion.  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare a Triggering Event pursuant to Section 10 hereof for the Corporation’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.  The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit a Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.




11





iv.

Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Conversion Shares Upon Conversion . In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Corporation fails for any reason to deliver to a Holder the applicable Conversion Shares by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 6(c)(i), and if after such Share Delivery Date such Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Conversion Shares which such Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Corporation shall (A) pay in cash to such Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by such Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) such Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of such Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) the shares of Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Preferred Stock submitted for conversion (in which case, such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Corporation had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 6(c)(i). For example, if a Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Preferred Stock with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Corporation shall be required to pay such Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Corporation written notice indicating the amounts payable to such Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Corporation, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Corporation’s failure to timely deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof.


v.

Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion . The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and payment of dividends on the Preferred Stock, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Preferred Stock), not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 7) upon the conversion of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and payment of dividends hereunder.  The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, if the Conversion Shares Registration Statement is then effective under the Securities Act, shall be registered for public resale in accordance with such Conversion Shares Registration Statement (subject to such Holder’s compliance with its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement).


vi.

Fractional Shares . No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock.   As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Corporation shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.




12





vii.

Transfer Taxes and Expenses .  The issuance of Conversion Shares on conversion of this Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Conversion Shares, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such Conversion Shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holders of such shares of Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such Conversion Shares unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.  The Corporation shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Conversion Shares.


d)

Beneficial Ownership Limitation .   The Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Preferred Stock, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Stated Value of Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation  subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, the Preferred Stock or the Warrants) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 6(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 6(d) applies, the determination of whether the Preferred Stock is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates) and of how many shares of Preferred Stock are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether the shares of Preferred Stock may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates) and how many shares of the Preferred Stock are convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Corporation each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Corporation shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.   In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder .  For purposes of this Section 6(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Corporation’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Corporation or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Corporation shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including the Preferred Stock, by such Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock held by the applicable Holder.  A



13




Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Corporation, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 6(d) applicable to its Preferred Stock provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Preferred Stock held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 6(d) shall continue to apply.  Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61 st day after such notice is delivered to the Corporation and shall only apply to such Holder and no other Holder.  The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 6(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of Preferred Stock.


Section 7 .

Certain Adjustments .


a)

Stock Dividends and Stock Splits .  If the Corporation, at any time while this Preferred Stock is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any other Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation upon conversion of, or payment of a dividend on, this Preferred Stock), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.


b)

Subsequent Equity Sales .  If, at any time while this Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation or any Subsidiary, as applicable sells or grants any option to purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition), any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Conversion Price (such lower price, the “ Base Conversion Price ” and such issuances, collectively, a “ Dilutive Issuance ”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the Base Conversion Price.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 7(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance.  If the Corporation enters into a Variable Rate Transaction, despite the prohibition set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Corporation shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion price at which such securities may be converted or exercised.  The Corporation shall notify the Holders in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 7(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “ Dilutive Issuance Notice ”).  For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Corporation provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 7(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holders are entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares



14




based upon the Base Conversion Price on or after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether a Holder accurately refers to the Base Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion.


c)

Subsequent Rights Offerings .  In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 7(a) above, if at any time the Corporation grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “ Purchase Rights ”), then the Holder of will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of such Holder’s Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).


d)

Pro Rata Distributions .  During such time as this Preferred Stock is outstanding, if the Corporation declares or makes any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a " Distribution "), at any time after the issuance of this Preferred Stock, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete Conversion of this Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on Conversion hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution ( provided , however , to the extent that the Holder's right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).


e)

Fundamental Transaction .  If, at any time while this Preferred Stock is outstanding, (i) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another Person, (ii) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Corporation or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the C orporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other



15




Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Preferred Stock, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 6(d) on the conversion of this Preferred Stock), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Corporation, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “ Alternate Consideration ”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Preferred Stock is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 6(d) on the conversion of this Preferred Stock).  For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Corporation shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.  If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction.  To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new Certificate of Designation with the same terms and conditions and issue to the Holders new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders’ right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate Consideration.  The Corporation shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Corporation is not the survivor (the “ Successor Entity ”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate of Designation and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of this Preferred Stock, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Preferred Stock a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Preferred Stock which is convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Preferred Stock) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the conversion price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Preferred Stock immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Certificate of Designation and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Corporation” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Corporation and shall assume all of the obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate of Designation and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Corporation herein.


f)

Calculations .  All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.  For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) issued and outstanding.




16





g)

Notice to the Holders .

3




respect to filing on Form S-3 or other appropriate form, and subject to the provisions of Section 2(d) with respect to the payment of liquidated damages; provided , however , that prior to filing such amendment, the Company shall be obligated to use diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the SEC Guidance, including without limitation, Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09.


(c)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and subject to the payment of liquidated damages pursuant to Section 2(d), if the Commission or any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced as follows:


a.

First, the Company shall reduce or eliminate any securities to be included by any Person other than a Holder;


b.

Second, the Company shall reduce Registrable Securities represented by Warrant Shares (applied, in the case that some Warrant Shares may be registered, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Warrant Shares held by such Holders); and


c.

Third, the Company shall reduce Registrable Securities represented by Conversion Shares (applied, in the case that some Conversion Shares may be registered, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Conversion Shares held by such Holders).


In the event of a cutback hereunder, the Company shall give the Holder at least five (5) Trading Days prior written notice along with the calculations as to such Holder’s allotment.  In the event the Company amends the Initial Registration Statement in accordance with the foregoing, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Initial Registration Statement, as amended.

 

(d)

If: (i) the Initial Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to its Filing Date (if the Company files the Initial Registration Statement without affording the Holders the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section 3(a) herein, the Company shall be deemed to have not satisfied this clause (i)), or (ii) the Company fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration of a Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act, within five Trading Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review, or (iii) prior to the effective date of a Registration Statement, the Company fails to file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing to comments made by the Commission in respect of such Registration Statement within twenty (20) calendar days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the Commission that such amendment is required in order for such Registration Statement to be declared effective, or (iv) a Registration Statement registering for resale all of the Registrable Securities is not declared effective by the Commission by the Effectiveness Date of the Initial Registration Statement, or (v) after the effective date of a Registration Statement, such Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, or the Holders are otherwise not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities, for more than ten (10) consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of fifteen (15) calendar days (which need not



4




be consecutive calendar days) during any 12-month period (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “ Event ”, and for purposes of clauses (i) and (iv), the date on which such Event occurs, and for purpose of clause (ii) the date on which such five (5) Trading Day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (iii) the date which such twenty (20) calendar day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (v) the date on which such ten (10) or fifteen (15) calendar day period, as applicable, is exceeded being referred to as “ Event Date ”), then, in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of 1.5% multiplied by the aggregate Subscription Amount under the Purchase Agreement of the Securities then held by such Holder. The parties agree that the maximum aggregate liquidated damages payable to a Holder under this Agreement shall be 9% of the aggregate Subscription Amount paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.  If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in full within seven days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 18% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event.


(e)

If Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the Commission.

Notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) hereof, be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one (1) Trading Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed, (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement, and (C) with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to a Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of a Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (vi) of the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development with respect to the Company that the Company believes may be material and that, in the determination of the Company, makes it not in the best interest of the Company to allow continued availability of a Registration Statement or Prospectus, provided , however , in no event shall any such notice contain any information which would constitute material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.



6





(e)

Use its best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order stopping or suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.


(f)

Furnish to each Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each such Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference to the extent requested by such Person, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission; provided, that any such item which is available on the EDGAR system (or successor thereto) need not be furnished in physical form.


(g)

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, except after the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 3(d).


(h)

 The Company shall cooperate with any broker-dealer through which a Holder proposes to resell its Registrable Securities in effecting a filing with the FINRA Corporate Financing Department pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110, as requested by any such Holder, and the Company shall pay the filing fee required by such filing within two (2) Business Days of request therefor.


(i)

Prior to any resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the Registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for the resale by the Holder under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder reasonably requests in writing, to keep each registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement; provided, that, the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.


(j)

If requested by a Holder, cooperate with such Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holder may request.


(k)

Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(d), as promptly as reasonably possible under the circumstances taking into account the Company’s good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the Company and its stockholders of the premature disclosure of such event, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to a Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither a Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance with clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section 3(d) above to suspend the use of any



7




Prospectus until the requisite changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the Holders shall suspend use of such Prospectus.  The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable.  The Company shall be entitled to exercise its right under this Section 3(k) to suspend the availability of a Registration Statement and Prospectus, subject to the payment of partial liquidated damages otherwise required pursuant to Section 2(d), for a period not to exceed 60 calendar days (which need not be consecutive days) in any 12-month period.


(l)

Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission.


(m)

The Company shall use its best efforts to maintain eligibility for use of Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto) for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities.


(n)

The Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and, if required by the Commission, the natural persons thereof that have voting and dispositive control over the shares. During any periods that the Company is unable to meet its obligations hereunder with respect to the registration of the Registrable Securities solely because any Holder fails to furnish such information within three Trading Days of the Company’s request, any liquidated damages that are accruing at such time as to such Holder only shall be tolled and any Event that may otherwise occur solely because of such delay shall be suspended as to such Holder only, until such information is delivered to the Company.


4.

Registration Expenses . All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with, this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and independent registered public accountants) (A) with respect to filings made with the Commission, (B) with respect to filings required to be made with any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading, (C) in compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws reasonably agreed to by the Company in writing (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in connection with Blue Sky qualifications or exemptions of the Registrable Securities) and (D) if not previously paid by the Company in connection with an Issuer Filing, with respect to any filing that may be required to be made by any broker through which a Holder intends to make sales of Registrable Securities with FINRA pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110, so long as the broker is receiving no more than a customary brokerage commission in connection with such sale, (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder.  In no event shall the Company be responsible for any broker or similar commissions of any Holder or, except to the extent provided for in the Transaction Documents, any legal fees or other costs of the Holders.

5.

Indemnification .


(a)

Indemnification by the Company . The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, members, partners, agents, brokers (including brokers who offer and sell Registrable Securities as principal as a result of a pledge or any failure to perform under a margin call of Common Stock), investment advisors and employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, members, stockholders, partners, agents and employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “ Losses ”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to (1) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (2) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement, such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose) or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(d)(iii)-(vi), the use by such Holder of an outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable for use by such Holder and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(d), but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected.  The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of which the Company is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified person and shall survive the transfer of any Registrable Securities by any of the Holders in accordance with Section 6(h).


(b)

Indemnification by Holders . Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, to the extent arising out of or based solely upon: (x) such Holder’s failure to comply with any applicable prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act through no fault of the Company or (y) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company



9




expressly for inclusion in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such information relates to such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose), such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (iii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(d)(iii)-(vi), to the extent, but only to the extent, related to the use by such Holder of an outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable for use by such Holder and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(d), but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected.  In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder under this Section 5(b) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.


(c)

Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings . If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “ Indemnified Party ”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “ Indemnifying Party ”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that, the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.


An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless:  (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding, or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party).  The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.


Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided, that, the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.



10





(d)

Contribution . If the indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.


The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), no Holder shall be required to contribute pursuant to this Section 5(d), in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.


The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.


6.

Miscellaneous .


(a)

Remedies .  In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement.  Each of the Company and each Holder agrees that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.


(b)

No Piggyback on Registrations; Prohibition on Filing Other Registration Statements .  Except as set forth on Schedule 6(b) , neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in any Registration Statements other than the Registrable Securities.  The Company shall not file any other registration statements until all Registrable Securities are registered pursuant to a Registration Statement that is declared effective by the Commission, provided that this Section 6(b) (i) shall not prohibit the Company from filing amendments to registration statements filed prior to the date of this Agreement and (ii) shall not prohibit the Company from filing a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 for a primary offering by the Company, provided that the Company makes no offering of securities pursuant to such shelf registration statement prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement required hereunder that includes all of the Registrable Securities.




11




(c)

Compliance . Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it (unless an exemption therefrom is available) in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.


(d)

Discontinued Disposition .  By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(d)(iii) through (vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “ Advice ”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed.  The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable.  The Company agrees and acknowledges that any periods during which the Holder is required to discontinue the disposition of the Registrable Securities hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2(d).


(e)

Piggy-Back Registrations . If, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall deliver to each Holder a written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered; provided , however , that the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 6(e) that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 (without volume restrictions or current public information requirements) promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act or that are the subject of a then effective Registration Statement.


(f)

Amendments and Waivers . The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Holders of 67% or more of the then outstanding Registrable Securities (for purposes of clarification, this includes any Registrable Securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of any Security).  If a Registration Statement does not register all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a waiver or amendment done in compliance with the previous sentence, then the number of Registrable Securities to be registered for each Holder shall be reduced pro rata among all Holders and each Holder shall have the right to designate which of its Registrable Securities shall be omitted from such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of a Holder or some Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given only by such Holder or Holders of all of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided , however , that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the first  sentence of this Section 6(f). No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.


(g)

Notices . Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be delivered as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.


(h)

Successors and Assigns . This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder. The Company may not assign (except by merger) its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all of the Holders of the then outstanding Registrable Securities.  Each Holder may assign their respective rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted under Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement.



12





(i)

No Inconsistent Agreements . Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.  Except as set forth on Schedule 6(i) , neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person that have not been satisfied in full.


(j)

Execution and Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.


(k)

Governing Law .  All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.


(l)

Cumulative Remedies . The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.


(m)

Severability . If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.


(n)

Headings . The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of the Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.


(o)

Independent Nature of Holders’ Obligations and Rights . The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Holders are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not asset any such claim, with respect to such obligations or transactions. Each Holder shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement with respect to the obligations of the Company contained was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any Holder, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Holder.  It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement is between the Company and a Holder, solely, and not between the Company and the Holders collectively and not between and among Holders.

Annex A


Plan of Distribution


Each Selling Stockholder (the “ Selling Stockholders ”) of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the [NAME OF principal Trading Market] or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions.  These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices.  A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

·

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

·

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities 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;

·

settlement of short sales;

·

in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;

·

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

·

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

·

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales.  Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume.  The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities.  The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).




The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales.  In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.  Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities.  The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Because Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder.  In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders have advised us that there is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale securities by the Selling Stockholders.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect.  The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution.  In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person.  We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT


 WESTCOTT PRODUCTS CORPORATION


Warrant Shares:________

Initial Exercise Date:  June 3, 2014


THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “ Warrant ”) certifies that, for value received, _____________ or its assigns (the “ Holder ”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date hereof (the “ Initial Exercise Date ”) and on or prior to the close of business on the three year anniversary of the Effective Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement)(the “ Termination Date ”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Westcott Products Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), up to ______ shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “ Warrant Shares ”) of Common Stock.  The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).

Section 1 .

Definitions .  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”), dated June 3, 2014, among the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto.

Section 2 .

Exercise .

a)

Exercise of Warrant .  Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto and within three (3) Trading Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Company shall have received payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank or, if available, pursuant to the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding






number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased.  The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice.   The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

b)

Exercise Price .  The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $1.35 , subject to adjustment hereunder (the “ Exercise Price ”).

c)

Cashless Exercise .  If at any time after the six month anniversary of the date of the Purchase Agreement, there is no effective Registration Statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

(A) = the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise;


(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and


(X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.


Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2(c).


(d)

Mechanics of Exercise .

i.

Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise .  Warrant Shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“ DWAC ”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the shares are eligible for resale by the Holder pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is three (3) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”).   The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by cashless exercise, if permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid.  If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $15 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise.



2



ii.

Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise .  If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

iii.

Rescission Rights .  If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

iv.

Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise .  In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder.  For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss.  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

v.

No Fractional Shares or Scrip .  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.  As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

vi.

Charges, Taxes and Expenses .  Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided , however , that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may



3



require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.  The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

vii.

Closing of Books .  The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

e)

Holder’s Exercise Limitations .  The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other  Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith.   To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.   In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.  The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.  The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after



4



giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply.  Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61 st day after such notice is delivered to the Company.  The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

Section 3 .

Certain Adjustments .

a)

Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

b)

Subsequent Equity Sales . If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, at an effective price per share less than the Exercise Price then in effect (such lower price, the “ Base Share Price ” and such issuances collectively, a “ Dilutive Issuance ”) (it being understood and agreed that if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance at such effective price), then simultaneously with the consummation of each Dilutive Issuance the Exercise Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made, paid or issued under this Section 3(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance.  The Company shall notify the Holder, in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance or deemed issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 3(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “ Dilutive Issuance Notice ”).  For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 3(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the Base Share Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Share Price in the Notice of Exercise. If the Company enters into a Variable Rate Transaction, despite the prohibition thereon in the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion or exercise price at which such securities may be converted or exercised



5



c)

Subsequent Rights Offerings .  In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “ Purchase Rights ”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

d)

Pro Rata Distributions .  During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “ Distribution ”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution ( provided , however , to the extent that the Holder's right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

e)

Fundamental Transaction . If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company , directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any

limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “ Alternate Consideration ”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant).  For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.  If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction.  “ Black Scholes Value ” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black and Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg, L.P. (“ Bloomberg ”) determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date.  The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “ Successor Entity ”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

f)

Calculations . All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

Notice to Holder .

i.

Adjustment to Exercise Price . Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

ii.

Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder . If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.  To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K.  The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice  except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

c)

Warrant Register . The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “ Warrant Register ”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time.  The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

d)

e)

Representation by the Holder .  The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.

Section 5 .

Miscellaneous .

a)

b)

Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant . The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

d)

Authorized Shares .

The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its



9



officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed.  The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

e)

Jurisdiction . All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

f)

Restrictions .  The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

g)

Nonwaiver and Expenses .  No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date.  If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

h)

Notices .  Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

i)

Limitation of Liability .  No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common



10



Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

j)

Remedies .  The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant.  The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

k)

Successors and Assigns .  Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder.  The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

l)

Amendment .  This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

m)

Severability .  Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

n)

Headings .  The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

This is an Incentive Stock Option Agreement (“ Agreement ”) between Westcott Products Corporation (the “ Company ”), and the optionee identified above (the “ Optionee ”) effective as of the date of grant specified above.

Background


A.

The Company has entered into a Merger Agreement with Dala Petroleum Corp., a Nevada corporation, as of the Date of Grant listed above.


B.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “ Board ”) hereby grants the Option to the Optionee under the terms and conditions as follows:


Terms and Conditions *


1.

Grant .  The Optionee is granted the Option to purchase the number of Shares specified at the beginning of this Agreement.


2.

Exercise Price .  The price to the Optionee of each Share subject to the Option will be the exercise price specified at the beginning of this Agreement (which price may not be less than the Fair Market Value as of the date of grant or, if the Optionee owns or is deemed to own stock possessing more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, 110% of the Fair Market Value as of the date of grant).


3.

Incentive Stock Option .  The Option is intended to be an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”), provided that to the extent the Option or part thereof fails to qualify as an incentive stock option, it will be treated as a non-statutory stock option.






4.

Exercise Schedule .  The Option will vest and become exercisable as to the number of Shares and on the dates specified in the exercise schedule at the beginning of this Agreement. The exercise schedule will be cumulative; thus, to the extent the Option has not already been exercised and has not expired, terminated or been cancelled, the Optionee or the person otherwise entitled to exercise the Option as provided herein may at any time, and from time to time, purchase all or any portion of the Shares then purchasable under the exercise schedule.


The Option may also be exercised in full (notwithstanding the exercise schedule) under the circumstances described in Section 8 of this Agreement if it has not expired prior thereto.


5.

Expiration .

(a)

Timing . The Option will expire at 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time on the earliest of:

(1)

The expiration date specified at the beginning of this Agreement;

(2)

The expiration of the period after the termination of employment of the Optionee within which the Option can be exercised (as specified in Section 7 of this Agreement); or

(3)

Upon termination of the Optionee’s employment for cause or if it is determined by the Company within ten days after termination of the Optionee’s employment by the Optionee that cause existed for termination by the Company, the date of such determination.

(b)

Expiration Final . In no event may anyone exercise the Option, in whole or in part, after it has expired, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement.

(c)

Rescission . If the Option is exercised, and prior to the delivery of the certificate representing the Shares so purchased, it is determined that cause for termination existed, then the Company, in its sole discretion, may rescind the Option exercise by the Optionee and terminate the Option.


6.

Procedure to Exercise Option .

(a)

Notice of Exercise .  The Option may be exercised by delivering written notice of exercise to the Company at the principal executive office of the Company, to the attention of the Company’s Secretary, in the form attached to this Agreement. The notice shall state the number of Shares to be purchased, and shall be signed by the person exercising the Option. If the person exercising the Option is not the Optionee, he/she also must submit appropriate proof of his/her right to exercise the Option.

(b)

Tender of Payment .  Upon giving notice of any exercise hereunder, the Optionee shall provide for payment of the purchase price of the Shares being purchased through one or a combination of the following methods:

(1)

Cash (including check, bank draft or money order);


(2)

To the extent permitted by law, through a broker assisted cashless exercise in which the Optionee simultaneously exercises the Option and sells all or a portion of the Shares thereby acquired pursuant to a brokerage or similar relationship and uses the proceeds from such sale to pay the purchase price of such Shares; or

(3)

By delivery to the Company of unencumbered Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the purchase price of such Shares.

(c)

Limitation on Payment by Shares.  Notwithstanding Section 6(b), the Option may not be exercised through payment of any portion of the purchase price with Shares if, in the opinion of the Committee, payment in such manner could have adverse financial accounting consequences for the Company that were not applicable at the time of the grant.




(d)

Delivery of Certificates .  As soon as practicable after the Company receives the notice and purchase price provided for above, it shall deliver to the person exercising the Option, in the name of such person, a certificate or certificates representing the Shares being purchased. The Company shall pay any original issue or transfer taxes with respect to the issue or transfer of the Shares and all fees and expenses incurred by it in connection therewith. All Shares so issued shall be fully paid and nonassessable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no certificate for Shares distributable under this Agreement shall be issued and delivered unless the issuance of such certificate complies with all applicable legal requirements including, without limitation, compliance with the provisions of applicable state securities laws, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.


7.

Employment Requirement .  The Option may be exercised only while the Optionee remains employed with the Company or a parent or subsidiary thereof, and only if the Optionee has been continuously so employed since the date the Option was granted; provided that:

(a)

Post-Employment.  The Option may be exercised for three months after termination of the Optionee’s employment if such cessation of employment is for a reason other than death or disability, but only to the extent that it was exercisable immediately prior to termination of employment, provided that if termination of the Optionee’s employment shall have been for cause, the Option shall expire, and all rights to purchase Shares hereunder shall terminate, immediately upon such termination.

(b)

Death or Disability .  The Option may be exercised for one year after termination of the Optionee’s employment if such termination of employment is because of death or disability of the Optionee.

8.

Acceleration of Vesting .

(a)

Death or Disability .  In the event of the death or disability of the Optionee, any portion of the Option that was not previously exercisable shall become immediately exercisable in full if the Optionee shall have been continuously employed by the Company or a parent or subsidiary thereof between the date the Option was granted and the date of such death or disability.

(b)

Change in Control .  If a Change in Control of the Company or buyout of the operations of the Company shall or is to occur, then the Option, if not already exercised in full or otherwise terminated, expired or cancelled, shall become immediately exercisable in full and shall remain exercisable during the remaining term of the Option.

(c)

Discretionary Acceleration .  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, declare at any time that the Option shall be immediately exercisable.


9.

Limitation on Transfer .  During the lifetime of the Optionee, only the Optionee or his/her guardian or legal representative may exercise the Option.

Background


A.

The Company has entered into a Merger Agreement with Dala Petroleum Corp., a Nevada corporation, as of the Date of Grant listed above.


B.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “ Board ”) hereby grants the Option to the Optionee under the terms and conditions as follows:


Terms and Conditions *


1.

Grant .  The Optionee is granted the Option to purchase the number of Shares specified at the beginning of this Agreement.


2.

Exercise Price .  The price to the Optionee of each Share subject to the Option will be the exercise price specified at the beginning of this Agreement (which price may not be less than the Fair Market Value as of the date of grant or, if the Optionee owns or is deemed to own stock possessing more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, 110% of the Fair Market Value as of the date of grant).


3.

Incentive Stock Option .  The Option is intended to be an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”), provided that to the extent the Option or part thereof fails to qualify as an incentive stock option, it will be treated as a non-statutory stock option.






4.

Exercise Schedule .  The Option will vest and become exercisable as to the number of Shares and on the dates specified in the exercise schedule at the beginning of this Agreement. The exercise schedule will be cumulative; thus, to the extent the Option has not already been exercised and has not expired, terminated or been cancelled, the Optionee or the person otherwise entitled to exercise the Option as provided herein may at any time, and from time to time, purchase all or any portion of the Shares then purchasable under the exercise schedule.


The Option may also be exercised in full (notwithstanding the exercise schedule) under the circumstances described in Section 8 of this Agreement if it has not expired prior thereto.


5.

(3)

Upon termination of the Optionee’s employment for cause or if it is determined by the Company within ten days after termination of the Optionee’s employment by the Optionee that cause existed for termination by the Company, the date of such determination.

(b)

Expiration Final . In no event may anyone exercise the Option, in whole or in part, after it has expired, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement.

(c)

Rescission . If the Option is exercised, and prior to the delivery of the certificate representing the Shares so purchased, it is determined that cause for termination existed, then the Company, in its sole discretion, may rescind the Option exercise by the Optionee and terminate the Option.


6.

Procedure to Exercise Option .

By delivery to the Company of unencumbered Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the purchase price of such Shares.

(c)

(d)

Delivery of Certificates .  As soon as practicable after the Company receives the notice and purchase price provided for above, it shall deliver to the person exercising the Option, in the name of such person, a certificate or certificates representing the Shares being purchased.

Post-Employment.  The Option may be exercised for three months after termination of the Optionee’s employment if such cessation of employment is for a reason other than death or disability, but only to the extent that it was exercisable immediately prior to termination of employment, provided that if termination of the Optionee’s employment shall have been for cause, the Option shall expire, and all rights to purchase Shares hereunder shall terminate, immediately upon such termination.

Exhibit 10.3




OPTION PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT


Chisholm Partners II LLC, a Louisiana limited liability company (“Chisholm”) and Dala Petroleum Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Dala”), (Chisholm and Dala may be referred to herein individually as “Party” and collectively as “Parties”), hereby enter into this Option Participation Agreement (“OPA”), effective May           2014, to wit:


WHEREAS , Chisholm is in the business of developing and drilling oil and/or gas wells; and


WHEREAS , Dala has capital and desires to participate as a non-operator in the drilling for oil and/or gas;


NOW, THEREFORE , the Parties hereto agree in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, as follows:


1. Option. Chisholm  hereby grants to Dala the option (the “Option”) to participate for up to twenty-five percent (25%) of Chisholm’s share of each drilling operation in search of oil and/or gas in the State of Kansas undertaken by Chisholm on the same basis as Chisholm; i.e. , if Chisholm acquires a drilling opportunity for $10,000 and Dala elects to participate for 25%, Dala shall pay to Chisholm  twenty-five (25.0%) percent of $10,000 for its interest, which interest shall be subject to 25% of any burdens placed on Chisholm’s interest.


2. Election. Within five days after Chisholm elects to participate in any such drilling operation, it shall give Dala written notice thereof, which notice shall include the cost thereof to Dala, and Dala shall have seventy-two (72) hours from receipt of such notice within which to exercise its Option by giving Chisholm written notice thereof, together with its payment of its proportionate share of the cost charged to Chisholm to participate in such drilling opportunity.  Dala’s failure to timely exercise its option shall be deemed ipso facto a decision not to exercise that Option.


3. Assignment. This OPA may not be assigned by Dala without the written consent of Chisholm.


4. Governing Law. This OPA is to be considered as having been executed in the State of Colorado and the Parties agree that Colorado law will govern.


5. Termination .  This agreement shall terminate and be of no future force and effect one year from the date hereof unless extended by mutual agreement.

4.9

Reasonableness of Restrictions . Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable as to both scope and time.  Executive further agrees that the Restrictive Covenants shall be construed in such a manner as to be enforceable under applicable laws if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction determines that a more limited scope or time is required.  Without limitation of the generality of Section 5.3 , in the event an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Restrictive Covenants do not meet the requirements of §15.50(a) of the Texas Business & Commerce Code (“ TBCC ”), then the Employer and Executive agree that the Employer is deemed to have requested reformation by the court pursuant to § 15.51(c) of the TBCC.

Executive acknowledges that the Separation Pay is good and valuable consideration for the release and other covenants Executive is making in this Agreement and is in addition to any consideration to which Executive may already be entitled.


(b)

As a material inducement for the Employer to pay the Separation Pay, Executive does hereby release the Employer and each of its directors, officers, shareholders, investors, partners, parents, predecessors, successors, affiliates, assigns, agents, current and former employees, attorneys, related entities, and all persons acting by, through, under, or in concert with any of them (collectively, the “Employer Releasees”) from any and all claims, charges, complaints, liabilities or obligations of any kind whatsoever, whether known or unknown, which Executive may have, now has, or has ever had arising from Executive’s employment with the Employer or the termination of that employment, or any other matter or event that may have occurred as of the date of this Agreement.  This release includes any claims under federal, state, or local law, including but not limited to, claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, the Texas Commission on Human Rights Act, the Texas Labor Code, and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall release the Employer of its obligations in any employment-related or other agreement that survive the termination or conclusion of Executive’s employment.

our ability to attract and retain customers and quality employees and consultants;

·

the effect of changing economic conditions;

OVERVIEW AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY


Westcott Products Corp. (“Westcott” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a fully reporting “shell company” as defined in SEC Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which is listed for stock quotations on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), Westcott will form a new, wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary which will merge with and into Dala Petroleum Corp. (“Dala”) and Dala will be the surviving company under the Merger and become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Westcott upon the closing and “Effective Date” of the Merger. Following the Merger, and the completion of the Offering, the Company’s operations will be those of Dala. Dala has the rights to engage in oil exploration and development on approximately 300 leases in north central Kansas with total acreage of approximately 80,000 acres (the “Property”). Dala will operate as an early-stage oil exploration company focused on the Property, which has oil potential at depths of less than 6,000 feet.


The proceeds of this Offering will be deposited into our legal counsel’s escrow account and held until the minimum Offering amount is reached and the Merger occurs. Following the Merger, the Offering will continue until the maximum amount is reached or the Offering is otherwise terminated by the Company.


More detailed information on the Company, the Merger, and the Company operations after the Merger can be found in “The Company” section of this Memorandum beginning on Page 21.

If the Holder gives the Company at least 61 days’ written notice, then the Holder may convert up to 9.99% of the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.  The Certificate of Designation of the Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock is attached as Exhibit A to the Securities Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit D.

Determination of Offering Price

The Offering Price of $1,000 per Unit has been arbitrarily determined by the Company. Said Offering Price was selected because the Company believes it can sell the Units at that price.

See the “Capitalization Table and Dilution” section on Page 10 of this Memorandum.

(1)   We are offering the Units on a “best efforts” basis up to the Maximum Offering.


(2)   The Company expects to incur certain accountable expenses related to this Offering, including printing, Blue Sky fees, filing fees, escrow fees, audit preparation and review fees, printing, postage, professional fees, the assumption of certain liabilities of Westcott, and travel expenses.


(3)   Represents estimated amounts we will apply towards dividends payable pursuant to the rights and preferences of the Series A 6% Convertible Preferred shares, working capital to cover our expected operating deficits for twelve months, salaries and general and administrative expenses and our costs to be a reporting public company.


The foregoing represents our best estimate of the allocation of the proceeds of this Offering based on our present plans and business conditions.  However, there can be no assurance that unforeseen events or changes in business conditions will not result in the application of proceeds of this Offering in a manner other than is described in this Memorandum.  Any such reallocation of the net proceeds of this Offering would be substantially limited to the categories set forth above. We believe we will have sufficient working capital for twelve months if we sell the Maximum Offering.  Pending such uses, we may invest such funds in short-term, interest-bearing securities where there is appropriate safety of principal or in interest-bearing bank accounts.

CAPITALIZATION TABLE AND DILUTION

The Company has an authorized capital of 100,000,000 shares divided into 50,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01, with 3,000,000 of the 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock designated as Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock of which none are outstanding.

Dilution


The net tangible book value of the Company, as of the second quarter ended March 31, 2014, based upon the balance sheet in the Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 15, 2014 and included in Exhibit B, is approximately $(0.044) per share; the net tangible book value of the combined company, post-Merger with Dala but before the Offering, is approximately $1,898,946, or $0.1519 per share; assuming the sale of all of the Offering Shares in the Offering, the net tangible book value of the Company following the Offering will be approximately $4,398,946, or $0.2588 per share; accordingly, investors in this Offering will suffer an immediate and substantial dilution of approximately $0.4412 per share, or 63%, from the Offering Price of $0.70 per common share (on a fully-diluted basis assuming conversion of the Series A 6% Convertible Preferred shares being sold as Units in this Offering but not exercise of the warrants).  The principal reason for the dilution is the difference in the price paid by Dala Petroleum for shares of the Company in the Merger (which is the value of the lease acquired by the Company in the Merger), or $0.1519 per share, when compared with the Offering Price of the Offering Shares, or $0.70 per share (on a fully-diluted basis assuming conversion of the Series A 6% Convertible Preferred shares being sold as Units in this Offering but not exercise of the warrants).  No value is or has been attributed to the Company as an “operating business” in making these computations, though management considered this and other factors is determining the Offering Price of the Offering Shares.   See the heading “Determination of Offering Price” in the “Summary of the Offering” section on Page 5.


RISK FACTORS


The Units offered are speculative, involve a high degree of risk, and should only be purchased by persons who can afford to lose their entire investment.  Prospective purchasers should carefully consider, among other things, the following risk factors concerning the business of the Company and this Offering prior to making an investment decision.  Each prospective investor should also carefully consider the risk factors associated with the Company’s business.


Investing in the Units involves substantial risk. Post-Merger, we will operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks, some of which are beyond our control. The following risk factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations, and cash flows or viability.  These risk factors may not include all of the important risks that could affect our business or our industry that could cause our future financial results to differ materially from historic or expected results, or that could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate or decline.  Because of these and other factors, past financial performance should not be considered an indication of future performance.



9







Risks Related to the Company


You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this report before making an investment decision with regard to our securities.   If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.


In any business venture, there are substantial risks specific to the particular enterprise which cannot be ascertained until a potential acquisition, reorganization or merger candidate has been identified ; however, at a minimum, the Company s present and proposed business operations will be highly speculative and be subject to the same types of risks inherent in any new or unproven venture, and will include those types of risk factors outlined below.


Extremely Limited Assets ; No Source of Revenue


The Company has virtually no assets and has had no revenue for over the past twenty years or to the date hereof. Nor will the Company receive any revenues until it completes an acquisition, reorganization or merger, at the earliest.  The Company can provide no assurance that any acquired business, including the business acquired in the Merger with Dala, will produce any material revenues for the Company or its stockholders or that any such business will operate on a profitable basis. Although management intends to apply any proceeds it may receive through the issuance of stock or debt to a suitable acquisition, subject to the criteria identified above, such proceeds will not otherwise be designated for any more specific purpose. The Company can provide no assurance that any use or allocation of such proceeds will allow it to achieve its business objectives.


Auditor’s ‘Going Concern’ Opinion


The Independent Auditor’s Report issued in connection with the audited financial statements of our Company for the last two fiscal years expresses “substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern,” due to our Company’s status as a start up and our lack of profitable operations.


Management to Devote Insignificant Time to Activities of Our Company


Members of our Company’s management are not required to devote their full time to the affairs of our Company. Because of their time commitments, as well as the fact that our Company has no business operations, the members of management currently devote one hour a week to the activities of our Company, until such time as our Company has identified a suitable acquisition target, which we think we have in Dala.


No Established Market for Common Stock ; No Market for Shares


On June 14, 2007, our common stock was approved for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board of the NASD under the symbol WSPD. Since that time, there have been few trades and a limited volume of shares sold on the OTC Bulletin Board. Since September 30, 2013, only two hundred shares have traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. There is currently no established trading market for such shares and there can be no assurance that such a market will ever develop or be maintained. Any market price for shares of common stock of our Company is likely to be very volatile, and numerous factors beyond the control of our Company may have a significant effect. In addition, the stock markets generally have experienced, and continue to experience, extreme price and volume fluctuations which have affected the market price of many small capital companies and which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. These broad market fluctuations, as well as general economic and political conditions, may adversely affect the market price of our Company’s common stock in any market that may develop. Sales of “restricted securities” under Rule 144 may also have an adverse effect on any market that may develop.

Risks of “Penny Stock”


Our Company s common stock may be deemed to be penny stock as that term is defined in Section 240.3a51­1 of the Exchange Act. Penny stocks are stocks (i) with a price of less than five dollars per share ; (ii) that are not traded on a recognized national exchange ; (iii) whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated  quotation system (NASDAQ­listed stocks must still meet requirement (i) above) ; or (iv) in issuers with net tangible  assets  less than $2,500,000 (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $5,000,000 (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6,000,000 for the last three years.


Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act and Rule 15g­2 of the Securities and Exchange Commission require broker­dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor’s account. Potential investors in our Company’s common stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing any shares that are deemed to be “penny stock.”


Moreover, Rule 15g­9 of the Securities and Exchange Commission requires broker­dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker­dealer to (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives ; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions ; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker­dealer made the determination in (ii) above ; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such  statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor’s financial situation, investment  experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult for investors in our Company’s common stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them.


There has been no “established public market” for the Company’s common stock. On June 14, 2007, our Company obtained a trading symbol “WSPD” on the OTC Bulletin Board of the NASD. At such time as our Company completes a merger or acquisition transaction, if at all, we may attempt to qualify for quotation on either NASDAQ or a national securities exchange. However, at least initially, any trading in our common stock will most likely be conducted in the over­the­counter market in the pink sheets, the OTCQB or the OTC Bulletin Board.


Need for any Governmental Approval of Principal Products of Services


Because our Company currently produces no products or services, we are not presently subject to any governmental regulation in this regard. However, in the event that our Company engages in a merger or acquisition transaction with an entity that engages in such activities, we will become subject to all governmental approval requirements to which the merged or acquired entity is subject. The oil exploration industry, the industry the Company will be engaged in post-Merger, is a highly-regulated industry, and the Company will need to obtain certain government approvals for its operations.


We may not be able to effectively manage our growth.


Our strategy envisions growing our business.  Any growth in or expansion of our business is likely to continue to place a strain on our management and administrative resources, infrastructure and systems.  As with other growing businesses, we expect that we will need to further refine and expand our business development capabilities, our systems and processes and our access to financing sources.  We also will need to hire, train, supervise and manage new employees.  These processes are time consuming and expensive, will increase management responsibilities and will divert management attention.  We cannot assure you that we will be able to:


·

expand our products effectively or efficiently or in a timely manner;


·

allocate our human resources optimally;




11






·

meet our capital needs;


·

identify and hire qualified employees or retain valued employees; or


·

incorporate effectively the components of any business or product line that we may acquire in our effort to achieve growth.


Our inability or failure to manage our growth and expansion effectively could harm our business and materially and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.


We will be required to attract and retain top quality talent to compete in the marketplace.


We believe our future growth and success will depend in part on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled managerial, product development, sales and marketing, and finance personnel.  There can be no assurance of success in attracting and retaining such personnel.  Shortages in qualified personnel could limit our ability to increase sales of existing products and services and launch new product and service offerings.


We will be subject to evolving and expensive corporate governance regulations and requirements.  Our failure to adequately adhere to these requirements or the failure or circumvention of our controls and procedures could seriously harm our business.


As a publicly traded company, we are subject to various federal, state and other rules and regulations, including applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  Compliance with these evolving regulations is costly and requires a significant diversion of management time and attention, particularly with regard to our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting.  Our internal controls and procedures may not be able to prevent errors or fraud in the future.  Faulty judgments, simple errors or mistakes, or the failure of our personnel to adhere to established controls and procedures may make it difficult for us to ensure that the objectives of the control system are met.  A failure of our controls and procedures to detect other than inconsequential errors or fraud could seriously harm our business and results of operations.


Risks Related to Our Operations Post-Merger


Oil and gas price fluctuations in the market may adversely affect the results of our operations.


Our profitability, cash flows and the carrying value of our oil and natural gas properties are highly dependent upon the market prices of oil and natural gas. Substantially all of our sales of oil and natural gas, if any, are made in the spot market, or pursuant to contracts based on spot market prices, and not pursuant to long-term, fixed-price contracts.  Accordingly, the prices received for our oil and natural gas production are dependent upon numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include the level of consumer product demand, governmental regulations and taxes, the price and availability of alternative fuels, the level of foreign imports of oil and natural gas and the overall economic environment.


Historically, the oil and natural gas markets have proven cyclical and volatile as a result of factors that are beyond our control.  Any additional declines in oil and natural gas prices or any other unfavorable market conditions could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and on the carrying value of our proved reserves.


Actual quantities of recoverable oil and gas reserves and future cash flows from those reserves most likely will vary from our estimates.


Estimating accumulations of oil and gas is complex. The process relies on interpretations of available geological, geophysical, engineering and production data. The extent, quality and reliability of this data can vary. The process also requires certain economic assumptions, some of which are mandated by the SEC, such as oil and gas prices, drilling and operating expenses, capital expenditures, taxes and availability of funds. The accuracy of a reserve estimate is a function of:


·

the quality and quantity of available data;



12







·

the interpretation of that data;


·

the accuracy of various mandated economic assumptions; and


·

the judgment of the persons preparing the estimate.


Estimates of proved reserves prepared by others might differ materially from our estimates.  Actual quantities of recoverable oil and gas reserves, future production, oil and gas prices, revenues, taxes, development expenditures and operating expenses most likely will vary from our estimates.  Any significant variance could materially affect the quantities and net present value of our reserves.  In addition, we may adjust estimates of proved reserves to reflect production history, results of exploration and development and prevailing oil and gas prices. Our reserves also may be susceptible to drainage by operators on adjacent properties.


Our operations will require significant expenditures of capital that may not be recovered.


We will require significant expenditures of capital in order to locate and develop producing properties and to drill exploratory and exploitation wells.  In conducting exploration, exploitation and development activities from a particular well, the presence of unanticipated pressure or irregularities in formations, miscalculations or accidents may cause our exploration, exploitation, development and production activities to be unsuccessful, potentially resulting in abandonment of the well.  This could result in a total loss of our investment.  In addition, the cost and timing of drilling, completing and operating wells is difficult to predict.


Compliance with, or breach of, environmental laws can be costly and could limit our operations.


Our operations will be subject to numerous and frequently changing laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection.  Any properties we might own for the exploration and production of oil and gas and the wastes disposed on these properties may be subject to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act and analogous state laws.  Under such laws, we could be required to remove or remediate previously released wastes or property contamination.  Laws and regulations protecting the environment have generally become more stringent and may, in some cases, impose “strict liability” for environmental damage.  Strict liability means that we may be held liable for damage without regard to whether we were negligent or otherwise at fault.  Environmental laws and regulations may expose us to liability for the conduct of or conditions caused by others or for acts that were in compliance with all applicable laws at the time they were performed.  Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the imposition of administrative, civil and criminal penalties.


Our ability to conduct continued operations is subject to satisfying applicable regulatory and permitting controls. Our current permits and authorizations and ability to get future permits and authorizations may be susceptible on a going forward basis, to increased scrutiny, greater complexity resulting in increased costs, or delays in receiving appropriate authorizations.


We are subject to changing laws and regulations and other governmental actions that can significantly and adversely affect our business.


Federal, state, local, territorial and foreign laws and regulations relating to tax increases and retroactive tax claims, disallowance of tax credits and deductions, expropriation or nationalization of property, mandatory government participation, cancellation or amendment of contract rights, and changes in import and export regulations, limitations on access to exploration and development opportunities, as well as other political developments may affect our operations.


We may not produce any oil or gas.


We are an exploratory company and although the Property has been thoroughly explored and tested, we may not actually discover or produced any oil or gas.



13







The oil and gas we produce may not be readily marketable at the time of production.


Crude oil, natural gas, condensate and other oil and gas products are generally sold to other oil and gas companies, government agencies and other industries.  The availability of ready markets for oil and gas that we might discover and the prices obtained for such oil and gas depend on many factors beyond our control, including:


·

the extent of local production and imports of oil and gas,


·

the proximity and capacity of pipelines and other transportation facilities,


·

fluctuating demand for oil and gas,


·

the marketing of competitive fuels, and


·

the effects of governmental regulation of oil and gas production and sales.


Natural gas associated with oil production is often not marketable due to demand or transportation limitations and is often flared at the producing well site.  Pipeline facilities do not exist in certain areas of exploration and, therefore, any actual sales of discovered oil and gas might be delayed for extended periods until such facilities are constructed.


We may encounter operating hazards that may result in substantial losses.


We will be subject to operating hazards normally associated with the exploration and production of oil and gas, including hurricanes, blowouts, explosions, oil spills, cratering, pollution, earthquakes, labor disruptions and fires.  The occurrence of any such operating hazards could result in substantial losses to us due to injury or loss of life and damage to or destruction of oil and gas wells, formations, production facilities or other properties.  We maintain insurance coverage limiting financial loss resulting from certain of these operating hazards.  We do not maintain full insurance coverage for all matters that may adversely affect our operations, including war, terrorism, nuclear reactions, government fines, treatment of waste, blowout expenses, wind damage and business interruptions.  Losses and liabilities arising from uninsured or underinsured events could reduce our revenues or increase our costs. There can be no assurance that any insurance will be adequate to cover losses or liabilities associated with operational hazards.  We cannot predict the continued availability of insurance, or its availability at premium levels that justify its purchase.


We face strong competition from larger oil and gas companies, which could result in adverse effects on our business.


The exploration and production business is highly competitive.  Many of our competitors have substantially larger financial resources, staffs and facilities.  Our competitors in the United States include numerous major oil and gas exploration and production companies.


Our operations are subject to various litigation that could have an adverse effect on our business.


From time to time we may become a defendant in various litigation matters.  The nature of our operations expose us to further possible litigation claims in the future.  There is risk that any matter in litigation could be adversely decided against us regardless of our belief, opinion and position, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.  Litigation is highly costly and the costs associated with defending litigation could also have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.




14






We may be affected by global climate change or by legal, regulatory, or market responses to such change.


The growing political and scientific sentiment is that increased concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are influencing global weather patterns.  Changing weather patterns, along with the increased frequency or duration of extreme weather conditions, could impact the availability or increase the cost to produce our products.  Additionally, the sale of our products can be impacted by weather conditions.


Concern over climate change, including global warming, has led to legislative and regulatory initiatives directed at limiting the greenhouse gas emissions.  For example, proposals that would impose mandatory requirements on greenhouse gas emissions continue to be considered by policy makers in the territories we operate.  Laws enacted that directly or indirectly affect our oil and gas production could impact our business and financial results.


Risks Related to the Offering


Our stock price may be volatile, which may result in losses to our shareholders.


The stock markets have experienced significant price and trading volume fluctuations, and the market prices of companies listed on the over-the-counter Bulletin Board quotation system in which shares of our common stock are listed, have been volatile in the past and have experienced sharp share price and trading volume changes. The trading price of our common stock is likely to be volatile and could fluctuate widely in response to many factors, including the following, some of which are beyond our control:


·

variations in our operating results;


·

changes in expectations of our future financial performance, including financial estimates by securities analysts and investors;


·

changes in operating and stock price performance of other companies in our industry;


·

additions or departures of key personnel; and


·

future sales of our common stock.


Domestic and international stock markets often experience significant price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations, as well as general economic and political conditions unrelated to our performance, may adversely affect the price of our common stock.


Our common shares may become thinly traded and you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices, or at all.


We cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for trading our common stock will be sustained.


This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community who generate or influence sales volume.  Even if we came to the attention of such persons, those persons tend to be risk-averse and may be reluctant to follow, purchase, or recommend the purchase of shares of an unproven company such as ours until such time as we become more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained.


The market price for our common stock is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively small company, which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. You may be unable to sell your common stock at or above your purchase price if at all, which may result in substantial losses to you.



15







Shareholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.


Because the SEC imposes additional sales practice requirements on brokers who deal in shares of penny stocks, some brokers may be unwilling to trade our securities. This means that you may have difficulty reselling your shares, which may cause the value of your investment to decline.

Our shares are classified as penny stocks and are covered by Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act which imposes additional sales practice requirements on brokers-dealers who sell our securities in this offering or in the aftermarket. For sales of our securities, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination and receive a written agreement prior from you to making a sale on your behalf. Because of the imposition of the foregoing additional sales practices, it is possible that broker-dealers will not want to make a market in our common stock. This could prevent you from reselling your shares and may cause the value of your investment to decline.

Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) sales practice requirements may limit your ability to buy and sell our common stock, which could depress the price of our shares.

FINRA rules require broker-dealers to have reasonable grounds for believing that an investment is suitable for a customer before recommending that investment to the customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status and investment objectives, among other things. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability such speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. Thus, FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our shares, have an adverse effect on the market for our shares, and thereby depress our share price.

Volatility in Our Common Share Price May Subject Us to Securities Litigation.


The market for our common stock is characterized by significant price volatility as compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may, in the future, be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management's attention and resources.




16






Our business is subject to changing regulations related to corporate governance and public disclosure that have increased both our costs and the risk of noncompliance.


Because our common stock is publicly traded, we are subject to certain rules and regulations of federal, state and financial market exchange entities charged with the protection of investors and the oversight of companies whose securities are publicly traded. These entities, including the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the SEC and FINRA, have issued requirements and regulations and continue to develop additional regulations and requirements in response to corporate scandals and laws enacted by Congress, most notably the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our efforts to comply with these regulations have resulted in, and are likely to continue resulting in, increased general and administrative expenses and diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. Because new and modified laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations in many cases due to their lack of specificity, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This evolution may result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and additional costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to our disclosure and governance practices.


We will incur increased costs and compliance risks as a result of becoming a public company.


We will incur costs associated with our public company reporting requirements. We also anticipate that we will incur costs associated with recently adopted corporate governance requirements, including certain requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as new rules implemented by the SEC and FINRA.  We expect these rules and regulations, in particular Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. Like many smaller public companies, we face a significant impact from required compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 requires management of public companies to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and the independent auditors to attest to the effectiveness of such internal controls and the evaluation performed by management. The SEC has adopted rules implementing Section 404 for public companies as well as disclosure requirements. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, has adopted documentation and attestation standards that the independent auditors must follow in conducting its attestation under Section 404. We are currently preparing for compliance with Section 404; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively meet all of the requirements of Section 404 as currently known to us in the currently mandated timeframe. Any failure to implement effectively new or improved internal controls, or to resolve difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results, cause us to fail to meet reporting obligations or result in management being required to give a qualified assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting or our independent auditors providing an adverse opinion regarding management’s assessment. Any such result could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.


We also expect these new rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our Board of Directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these new rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.





17






Sales of our currently issued and outstanding stock may become freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 and may dilute the market for your shares and have a depressive effect on the price of the shares of our common stock.


A majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (“Rule 144”). As restricted shares, these shares may be resold only pursuant to an effective registration statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and as required under applicable state securities laws. Rule 144 provides in essence that one year following a company ceasing to be a “shell company” and filing Form 10 information with the SEC to that effect, a non-affiliate who has held restricted securities for a period of at least six months may sell their shares of common stock. Under Rule 144, affiliates who have held restricted securities for a period of at least six months may, under certain conditions, sell every three months, in brokerage transactions, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of a company’s outstanding shares of common stock or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to the sale (the four calendar week rule does not apply to companies quoted on the OTCQB). Pursuant to Rule 144, shareholders must wait at least one year from the date of our filing of a Form 8-K with requisite Form 10 information to avail themselves of Rule 144 unless we file a registration statement for the sale of such shares prior thereto. A sale under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Securities Act, if available, or pursuant to subsequent registrations of our shares of common stock, may have a depressive effect upon the price of our shares of common stock in any active market that may develop.


THE COMPANY


The  Pre-Merger Company


Westcott Products Corp. (“Westcott” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a fully reporting “shell company” as defined in sec Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which is listed for stock quotations on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board. More information on our history is included in the historical filings as filed with the SEC (available publicly at www.sec.gov). We have also included our recent filings with the SEC for the past 12 months with this Memorandum as Exhibit B.


The Merger

On January 8, 2014, we entered into a Letter of Intent with Chisholm Partners II, LLC (“Chisholm II”), the sole shareholder of Dala Petroleum Corp. (“Dala”), to complete an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Plan of Merger” or the “Merger”) in connection with the closing of this Offering.

Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), a copy which is attached to this Memorandum as Exhibit C, Westcott will form a new, wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary, Dala Acquisition Corp., which will merge with and into Dala and Dala will be the surviving company under the Merger and become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Westcott upon the closing and “Effective Date” of the Merger.  The closing of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the receipt of not less than the minimum proceeds of this Offering.  If the closing of the Merger takes place, Westcott will issue 10,000,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Dala common stock.  Post-Merger, there would then be 12,500,000 outstanding shares of Westcott common stock; pre-Merger Westcott stockholders would own approximately 2,500,000 of these shares or approximately 20% of the outstanding voting securities of the combined companies.


A transaction like the proposed Merger between Dala Acquisition Corp. and Dala whereby a majority of the shares of Westcott will be issued to Dala shareholders is described as a “reverse” merger because the acquired company (Dala) usually has substantially greater assets than the acquiring publicly-held company (Westcott), and the shareholders of the acquired company are usually issued a controlling interest in the acquiring company by reason of the difference in the relative values of the companies.  This perceived value is speculative at best; and the shares of Westcott outstanding at the closing of the Merger, estimated to be approximately 2,500,000 shares, result in a dilution of the interest of Dala shareholders in Company, immediately on Closing.





18






Securities issued to the shareholders of the acquired company (Dala) in these types of transactions generally are “restricted securities” that cannot be immediately publicly traded, whereas many of the shares of the publicly-held company (Westcott) may be presently publicly tradeable, excluding shares presently owned by directors, officers or other “affiliates,” and further excluding shares that are presently designated as “restricted securities.”  This liquidity difference is a distinct advantage to the pre-Merger shareholders of Westcott that Dala shareholders do not share.


Within four business days of the closing of the Merger, Westcott will prepare and file with the SEC a Form 8-K that will include significant disclosures and descriptions of the post-Merger business operations of Westcott and Dala, including the “Form 10 Information” required to be filed with the SEC when a company ceases being a shell company as provided in Item 5.01(8) of SEC Form 8-K and subparagraph (i) of SEC Rule 144.


The Post-Merger Company

Following the Merger, and the completion of the Offering, the Company’s operations will be those of Dala. Dala has the rights to engage in oil exploration and development on approximately 300 leases in north central Kansas with total acreage of approximately 80,000 acres (the “Property”). The cost of the 300 lease assets was $1,898,946, and the Company believes the lease assets will be booked at the cost, excluding any technical work that has already been done.

Dala will operate as an early-stage oil exploration company focused on the Property, which has oil potential at depths of less than 6,000 feet. Dala was assigned the rights to explore the Property from Chisholm II, and, through a Service Agreement with Chisholm II, will utilize Chisholm II’s existing technical exploration team to further explore and develop the property.

Dala’s operations will be focused on shallow oil opportunities. Dala has a ready-to-drill inventory of seismically defined (2-D and 3-D) prospects in and around existing production in central, southern and northwest Kansas.  In addition, Dala has leases to approximately 80,000 net acres along a productive trend of fields (1-17 million barrels of oil) in central Kansas, which will be explored via conventional seismic evaluation and vertical drilling. Dala has a full team of experienced (major oil company trained) technical and land personnel to support its operations.  Its founders and management have a track record of creating shareholder value through early stage oil and gas ventures.

In partnership with Chisholm II, an exploration and production company focused on the acquisition of Kansas oil leasehold interests and exploration and development and Dala’s sole shareholder prior to the Merger and the closing of the Offering, Dala has an inventory of drill-ready oil prospects.  Most of the prospects are supported by modern seismic and are a combination of field extensions, step out locations and offsets to existing production. The initial eight prospects range in potential from one hundred thousand to one-half million barrels of oil, and are expected to be drilled and tested over the next 12 months.   Another eight plus prospects are currently being developed by Dala and Chisholm II.  Together, the companies will continue to acquire new leases and seismic in support of the ongoing programs.  This prospect development is being conducted by two teams of geologists and geophysicists in Denver, CO.  One team focuses on western Kansas, where they have 10 years of experience and a successful track record; and the second team focuses on a high potential exploration area where Dala’s 80,000 acres are located.  This team has already generated two field offset prospects for Dala, using high resolution 2-D seismic data.

Dala and Chisholm II have spent the last three years assembling a substantial land position over a shallow, conventional oil play in north central Kansas.  The "Play" or exploration concept is located across a three county area and is geographically defined by the boundaries of the productive North American Rift System.  The land position is concentrated over a lightly explored portion of the Rift, bordered immediately on the south by over 400 million barrels of rift-related oil fields, and to the north by significant new discoveries in southeast Nebraska, where per well productive rates of 400-600 barrels per day have recently been reported.  This Play concept was developed by a team of highly experienced international geologists, geophysicists and land experts, who applied regional geologic theory, proprietary geophysical data bases and high resolution seismic.  Based on adjacent productive analogies, the expected field target size in this exploration area is from 1-17 million barrels of recoverable oil, with individual per well rates estimated to be from 200-800 barrels of oil per day, depending upon the reservoir.



19







[EXHIBIT1011002.GIF]


In addition to the Play, Dala will begin an eight well drilling program with working interests ranging between 12.5% - 25% in order to provide operating income while further validating the thesis of the 80,000 acres.  This additional Kansas non-operated opportunity is provided under the Chisholm II agreement in support of unlocking the value of the separate 80,000 acres.   With two permitted wells at 12.5% working interests each and six additional wells at 25% working interests each, management believe net barrel oil reserves are approximately 500K and aggregate initial production rates could range between 120 barrels of oil per day to 400 barrels of oil per day.  If successful, this initiative will provide operating capital and data critical to unlocking the potential value of the 80,000 acres.

Nature of Purchasers


In order for us to qualify our offering as a Rule 506 offering, we will sell Units only to those investors who are “Accredited Investors,” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D who meet certain suitability requirements, in our sole discretion.


Accredited Investors are those investors who meet at least one of the following standards or others set forth in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, which are described in more detail in the Securities Purchase Agreement which is attached as Exhibit D to this Memorandum:


(a)

$1,000,000 Net Worth.  The investor is a natural person and his net worth, either individually or jointly with his spouse, exceeds $1,000,000, not including any equity in his home or primary residence;


(b)

$200,000 Income.  The investor is a natural person who has had individual income 1 from all sources (without including any income of his spouse unless such spouse is a co-purchaser) in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with that person’s spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of those years and has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same level of income in the current year;


(c)

Partnership, Corporate or other Entity Investors.  In general, a partnership, corporation, revocable or grantor trust or unincorporated association is deemed to be an Accredited Investor if all of the equity owners of that entity (or in the case of a revocable or grantor trust, all persons with the power to revoke the trust) qualify as Accredited Investors under subparagraph (a) or (b) above; and


(d)

Trust or Employee Benefit Plan Investors.  In general, an employee benefit plan or trust will qualify as an Accredited Investor if (i) the entity is an employee benefit plan within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and the investment decision is made by a Plan fiduciary, as defined in Section 3(21) of such Act which is a bank, savings and loan association, insurance company or registered investment advisor, or (ii) the entity is a qualified profit sharing or defined contribution Plan, the Plan provides for segregated accounts for each Plan participant, the governing documents of the Plan provide that each participant may direct the trustee to invest his or her funds in the investment vehicles of his or her choice and the purchase of Units is made pursuant to an exercise by the Plan participant, who is an Accredited Investor under Subparagraph (a) or (b) above, of such power to direct the investments of his or her segregated account; or (iii) it is a revocable trust and each person with the power to revoke the trust qualifies as an Accredited Investor under subparagraph (a) or (b) above.


General Suitability Standards


Units will be sold, in the discretion of the Company, only to a person (i) who purchases at least 100 Units, unless the Company, in its sole discretion, permits the purchase of fewer Units; (ii) who represents in writing that he qualifies as an Accredited Investor; (iii) who complies with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement; (iv) who represents that he has been furnished and has carefully read and relied solely on the information contained in this Memorandum, including all exhibits, amendments and supplements hereto; (v) whose overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to his net worth, and whose acquisition of the Units will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive; and (vi) who has no need for liquidity with respect to his investment in the Units and is capable of suffering the loss of his entire investment in any Units purchased.

1()   “Individual income” means adjusted gross income, as reported for federal income tax purposes, less any income attributable to a spouse or to property owned by a spouse, increased by the following amounts (but not including any amounts attributable to a spouse or to property owned by a spouse unless such spouse is a co-purchaser):  (i) contributions to a profit sharing or defined benefit plan made on behalf of the individual, to the extent of his vested interest under the plans, (ii) the amount of any interest income received which is tax-exempt under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), (iii) the amount of losses claimed as a Member in a limited partnership (as reported on Schedule E of Form 1040) and (iv) any deduction claimed for depletion under Section 611 et seq. of the Code.



24







A breach by an investor of any of his representations made to the Company, which results in a loss of the registration exemption provided by Regulation D or other exemption will cause such investor to be liable to the Company for all damages and to losses proximately caused thereby.


The bases for establishing the foregoing standards include the relative lack of liquidity of the Units, the risks inherent in an investment in the Units and possible adverse tax consequences of a premature sale of any Units.  The foregoing standards represent minimum requirements for a prospective purchaser and the Company reserves the right to reject any subscription notwithstanding compliance with these standards or to apply more stringent suitability standards.  Units may also be sold to corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, employee benefit plans (in limited circumstances), trusts, and other entities meeting the foregoing requirements.

Reservation and Listing of Securities .

(a)

The Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may then be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents.

If, on any date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of Common Stock is less than 130% of (i) the Required Minimum on such date, minus (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock previously issued pursuant to the Transaction Documents, then the Board of Directors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to at least the Required Minimum at such time (minus the number of shares of Common Stock previously issued pursuant to the Transaction Documents), as soon as possible and in any event not later than the 75 th day after such date; provided that the Company will not be required at any time to authorize a number of shares of Common Stock greater than the maximum remaining number of shares of Common Stock that could possibly be issued after such time pursuant to the Transaction Documents.

4.12

Participation in Future Financing .

(a)

From the date hereof until the date that the Preferred Stock is no longer outstanding, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock, Common Stock Equivalents for cash consideration, Indebtedness or a combination of units hereof (a “ Subsequent Financing ”), each Purchaser shall have the right to participate in up to an amount of the Subsequent Financing equal to 100% of the Subsequent Financing (the “ Participation Maximum ”) on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing.


(b)

At least five (5) Trading Days prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser a written notice of its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (“ Pre-Notice ”), which Pre-Notice shall ask such Purchaser if it wants to review the details of such financing (such additional notice, a “ Subsequent Financing Notice ”).  Upon the request of a Purchaser, and only upon a request by such Purchaser, for a Subsequent Financing Notice, the Company shall promptly, but no later than one (1) Trading Day after such request, deliver a Subsequent Financing Notice to such Purchaser.  The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder and the Person or Persons through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected and shall include a term sheet or similar document relating thereto as an attachment.




24







(c)

Any Purchaser desiring to participate in such Subsequent Financing must provide written notice to the Company by not later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5 th ) Trading Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice that such Purchaser is willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of such Purchaser’s participation, and representing and warranting that such Purchaser has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.  If the Company receives no such notice from a Purchaser as of such fifth (5 th ) Trading Day, such Purchaser shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it does not elect to participate.


(d)

If by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5 th ) Trading Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice, notifications by the Purchasers of their willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing (or to cause their designees to participate) is, in the aggregate, less than the total amount of the Subsequent Financing, then the Company may effect the remaining portion of such Subsequent Financing on the terms and with the Persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.


(e)

If by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5 th ) Trading Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice, the Company receives responses to a Subsequent Financing Notice from Purchasers seeking to purchase more than the aggregate amount of the Participation Maximum, each such Purchaser shall have the right to purchase its Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the Participation Maximum.  “ Pro Rata Portion ” means the ratio of (x) the Subscription Amount of Securities purchased on the Closing Date by a Purchaser participating under this Section 4.12 and (y) the sum of the aggregate Subscription Amounts of Securities purchased on the Closing Date by all Purchasers participating under this Section 4.12.


(f)

The Company must provide the Purchasers with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and the Purchasers will again have the right of participation set forth above in this Section 4.12, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice is not consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within thirty (30) Trading Days after the date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice.


(g)

The Company and each Purchaser agree that if any Purchaser elects to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the transaction documents related to the Subsequent Financing shall not include any term or provision whereby such Purchaser shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any of the Securities purchased hereunder or be required to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in connection with, this Agreement, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser.


(h)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.12 and unless otherwise agreed to by such Purchaser, the Company shall either confirm in writing to such Purchaser that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the securities in the Subsequent Financing, in either case in such a manner such that such Purchaser will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the tenth (10th) Business Day following delivery of the Subsequent Financing Notice.  If by such tenth (10th) Business Day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by such Purchaser, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and such Purchaser shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.


(i)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.12 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance.




25







4.13

Subsequent Equity Sales .

From the date hereof until one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Effective Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents.


(b)

From the date hereof until such time as no Purchaser holds any of the Warrants, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “ Variable Rate Transaction ” means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive, additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon, and/or varies with, the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price.  Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.


(c)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.13 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction shall be an Exempt Issuance.


4.14

Equal Treatment of Purchasers .  No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.  For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.

4.15

Certain Transactions and Confidentiality . Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it, nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.6.  Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.6, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Transaction Documents and the Disclosure Schedules.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.6, (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.6 and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality to the Company or its Subsidiaries after the issuance of the initial press release as described in Section 4.6.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above



26






shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.

4.16

Form D; Blue Sky Filings .  The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchasers at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any Purchaser.

4.17

Capital Changes .  Until the one year anniversary of the Effective Date, the Company shall not undertake a reverse or forward stock split or reclassification of the Common Stock without the prior written consent of the Purchasers holding a majority in interest of the shares of Preferred Stock.

4.18

Most Favored Nation Provision .  From the date hereof until such time as no Purchaser holds any of the Securities, in the event that the Company issues or sells any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, if a Purchaser then holding Securities reasonably believes that any of the terms and conditions appurtenant to such issuance or sale are more favorable to such investors than are the terms and conditions granted to the Purchasers hereunder, upon notice to the Company by such Purchaser within five Trading Days after disclosure of such issuance or sale, the Company shall amend the terms of this transaction as to such Purchaser only so as to give such Purchaser the benefit of such more favorable terms or conditions.  This Section 4.18 shall not apply with respect to an Exempt Issuance.  The Company shall provide each Purchaser with notice of any such issuance or sale in the manner for disclosure of Subsequent Financings set forth in Section 4.12.

5.12

Severability .  If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction.

5.13

Rescission and Withdrawal Right .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided , however , that in the case of a rescission of a conversion of the Preferred Stock or exercise of a Warrant, the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any shares of Common Stock subject to any such rescinded conversion or exercise notice concurrently with the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration of such Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).

5.15

Remedies .  In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents.  The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.



29







5.16

Payment Set Aside . To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

5.17

Usury .  To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any claim, action or proceeding that may be brought by any Purchaser in order to enforce any right or remedy under any Transaction Document.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “ Maximum Rate ”), and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate.  It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents from the effective date thereof forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law.  If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to any Purchaser with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be applied by such Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at such Purchaser’s election.

5.18

Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights .  The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document.  Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.  Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.  Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents.  For reasons of administrative convenience only, each Purchaser and its respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through EGS.  EGS does not represent all of the Purchasers and only represents Alpha.  The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers.

5.19

Liquidated Damages .  The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.

In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement.

5.22

The Escrow Agent is not a party to, and is not bound by, any agreement or other document out of which this Agreement may arise, including, but not limited to, the any placement memorandum, offering prospectus, or subscription agreement.  The Escrow Agent shall be under no liability to any party hereto by reason of any failure on the part of any party hereto or any maker, guarantor, endorser or other signatory of any document or any other person to perform such person’s obligations under any such document. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement or any of the terms hereof, unless evidenced by a writing delivered to the Escrow Agent signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow Agent are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to obligate the Escrow Agent to deliver any cash, instruments, documents or any other property referred to herein, unless the same shall have first been received by the Escrow Agent, and in the case of a check, has cleared and immediately available funds are available to the Escrow Agent, pursuant to this Agreement.


(c) The Escrow Agent may execute or perform any duties under this Agreement either directly or through agents, designees, nominees, and assignees, and shall not be responsible for the actions of any such party appointed with due care.

(j) The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control.  Such acts shall include but not be limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes, terrorist attacks or other disasters.


(k) The Escrow Agent is authorized to obey and comply, in any manner it deems appropriate, with all writs, order, judgments, awards, decrees issued or process entered by any court, agency, arbitrator, or tribunal with respect to this Agreement.

Exhibit 5.4(d)


Escrow Agreement


This Escrow Agreement (the “Agreement” ) is made this 3rd day of June, 2014, by and between Westcott Products Corporation, a Delaware corporation ( “Parent”) ; Jenson Services, Inc., a Utah corporation ( “Jenson Services” ); and Brunson Chandler & Jones, (the “Escrow Agent” ).


RECITALS:


WHEREAS, Parent has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement” ) between Parent; Dala Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent ( “Merger Subsidiary” ); Dala Petroleum, Inc., a Nevada corporation ( “Company” ) and wholly-owned subsidiary of Chisholm Partners II, LLC, a Louisiana limited liability company (“ Company Shareholder ” or “ Sole Company Shareholder ”); and Company Shareholder; and


WHEREAS, Jenson Services has agreed to deposit 200,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock of Parent comprised of “restricted securities” as defined in Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” ) Rule 144 (the “Escrowed Shares” ) to be held by the Escrow Agent for a period of two (2) years (the “Escrow Period”) as security for any claim against Parent related to its outstanding capitalization as described in Parent’s Information Statement dated and mailed to its shareholders on November 29, 2006, and filed with the SEC on November 28, 2006 (“Parent Information Statement” ), or otherwise related to its capitalization, or any material breach of Parent’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3 of the Merger Agreement; and


WHEREAS, as a result of the “Re-capitalization” approved in the Parent Information Statement, the then outstanding common stock of Parent was reverse split on a basis of 250,000 for one, with each fractional share being rounded up to the nearest whole share, and immediately thereafter, a 200 for one dividend was declared, pro rata to all shareholders, with a mandatory exchange required to receive the dividend, and with appropriate adjustments to the capital accounts of Parent, and the Re-capitalization and deposit of the Escrowed Shares are believed to be more than sufficient to satisfy any claim for shares related to the capitalization issues outlined in the Information Statement ; and


WHEREAS, the Escrow Agent has agreed to hold the Escrowed Shares for all purposes of this Agreement;


NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:


1.

Deposit, Use and Return of Escrowed Shares


1.1

Jenson Services hereby deposits the Escrowed Shares with the Escrow Agent, to be held, disbursed, transferred, conveyed, cancelled or otherwise utilized by Parent for a period of two (2) years as security for any claim against Parent related to its outstanding capitalization as described in Parent Information Statement or otherwise related to its capitalization, or any material breach of Parent’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3 of the Merger Agreement.  Jenson Services shall require its authorized officers to sign such stock certificates as may be required by Parent or Escrow Agent to implement this Agreement and the utilization of the Escrowed Shares as contemplated hereunder, including having its officers duly authorized in appropriate corporate resolutions and the obtaining of “Medallion Signature Guarantees” of such signatures on any such stock certificates.


1.2

The Escrow Agent is empowered, without further qualification, to deliver to Parent the number of Escrowed Shares requested of Parent’s Board of Directors (the “Board” ) to satisfy any claim made for shares of common stock by any person not listed on Parent’s shareholders list as of the Effective Date of the Merger Agreement (as defined therein), based solely on such Board’s good faith determination that any such claim is supported by reasonable evidence and should be honored.









1.3

The Escrow Agent is also empowered to deliver to Parent, subject to 15 days notice being provided to Jenson Services the (the “Demand Notice”) to allow it to cure any material default in any representations and warranties of Parent in Section 3 of the Merger Agreement, such portion of the Escrowed Shares as shall be equal to the damages actually caused by any such breach to Parent, with the valuation of the Escrowed Shares for any such purpose being: (i) during the first year of the Escrow Period, 50% of the average trading price of Parent common stock on its most recognized national market for the previous 10 days prior to the Demand Notice to Jenson Services, and (ii) during the second year of the Escrow Period, 100% of the average trading price of Parent common stock on its most recognized national market for the previous 10 days prior to the Demand Notice to Jenson Services (the “Determined Value” ).


1.4

Any Escrowed Shares remaining at the end of the Escrow Period after satisfaction of any claims in Sections 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3, shall be promptly returned to Jenson Services.


2.

The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement or any of the terms hereof, unless evidenced by a writing delivered to the Escrow Agent signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow Agent are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to obligate the Escrow Agent to deliver any cash, instruments, documents or any other property referred to herein, unless the same shall have first been received by the Escrow Agent, and in the case of a check, has cleared and immediately available funds are available to the Escrow Agent, pursuant to this Agreement.

DALA PETROLEUM CORP.

 (AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)


FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


FOR THE PERIOD FROM INCEPTION (JANUARY 17, 2014)

THROUGH MAY 21, 2014


















1





REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



The Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Dala Petroleum Corporation


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Dala Petroleum Corporation (an exploration stage company) (the Company) as of May 21, 2014, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period from inception on January 17, 2014 through May 21, 2014.  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 an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 Dala Petroleum Corporation as of May 21, 2014, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the period from inception on January 17, 2014 through May 21, 2014, 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 is in the exploration stage and, accordingly, has not yet generated revenues from operations and has incurred accumulated net losses from inception (January 17, 2014) through May 21, 2014 . These issues raise substantial doubt about its 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.

DALA PETROLEUM CORP.

(an Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period from inception (January 17, 2014) through May 21, 2014



NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Basis of Presentation

Dala Petroleum Corp. ("Dala" or the “Company”) was established on January 17, 2014 (Date of Inception). The Company is in the exploration stage and has yet to begin operations. Commencing on the Date of Inception, for the accompanying financial statements, the Company’s sponsors paid expenses, entered into agreements, and began organizing the entity on behalf of the Company. Accordingly, the Balance Sheet and related Statements of Operations, Stockholders’ Equity and Cash Flows reflect activity prior to the Company’s date of incorporation in the state of Nevada as a C-Corporation on March 20, 2014.


The Company has not commenced any significant operations and, in accordance with ASC Topic 915, the Company is considered an exploration stage company.


The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to exploration stage enterprises, and are expressed in U.S. dollars.


Nature of Operations

The Company is focused on the acquisition and development of oil and natural gas resources in the United States. The Company has not found oil and natural gas resources in potentially commercially exploitable quantities and is engaged in both determining the most advantageous development program and in exploring certain lands in an effort to discover hydrocarbons.  The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation and has not realized revenues from its planned principal operations.


Use of Estimates

The timely preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.


Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:


Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.


Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities and less observable from objective sources.


The Company has no assets that are measured at fair value.




7




Loss per share

The Company follows ASC Topic 260 to account for the loss per share. Basic loss per common share calculations are determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share calculations are determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. During periods when common stock equivalents, if any, are anti-dilutive they are not considered in the computation.


As the Company has incurred losses for the period ended May 21, 2014, the potentially dilutive shares are anti-dilutive and are thus not added into the loss per share calculations.


Oil and natural gas properties

The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas operations whereby all costs related to the exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties are initially capitalized into a single cost center (“full cost pool”). Such costs include land acquisition costs, a portion of employee salaries related to property development, geological and geophysical expenses, carrying charges on non-producing properties, costs of drilling directly related to acquisition, and exploration activities. Internal salaries are capitalized based on employee time allocated to the acquisition of leaseholds and development of oil and natural gas properties. The Company did not capitalize interest for the period ended May 21, 2014.


Proceeds from property sales will generally be credited to the full cost pool, with no gain or loss recognized, unless such a sale would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and the proved reserves attributable to these costs. No gain or loss was recognized on any sales during the period.


The Company assesses all items classified as unproved property on a quarterly basis for possible impairment or reduction in value. The assessment includes consideration of the following factors, among others: intent to drill, remaining lease term, geological and geophysical evaluations, drilling results and activity, the assignment of proved reserves, and the economic viability of development if proved reserves are assigned. During any period in which these factors indicate an impairment, the cumulative drilling costs incurred to date for such property and all or a portion of the associated leasehold costs are transferred to the full cost pool and are then subject to depletion and amortization.


Capitalized costs associated with impaired properties and properties having proved reserves, estimated future development costs, and asset retirement costs under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 410-20-25 are depleted and amortized on the unit-of-production method based on the estimated gross proved reserves. The costs of unproved properties are withheld from the depletion base until such time as they are developed, impaired, or abandoned.


Under the full cost method of accounting, capitalized oil and natural gas property costs less accumulated depletion, net of deferred income taxes, may not exceed a ceiling amount equal to the present value, discounted at 10%, of estimated future net revenues from proved oil and natural gas reserves plus the cost of unproved properties not subject to amortization (without regard to estimates of fair value), or estimated fair value, if lower, of unproved properties that are subject to amortization. Should capitalized costs exceed this ceiling, which is tested on a quarterly basis, an impairment is recognized. The present value of estimated future net revenues is computed by applying prices based on a 12-month unweighted average of the oil and natural gas prices in effect on the first day of each month, less estimated future expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves (assuming the continuation of existing economic conditions), less any applicable future taxes.


Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes oil and natural gas revenues from our interests in producing wells when production is delivered to, and title has transferred to, the purchaser and to the extent the selling price is reasonably determinable.


The Company uses the sales method of accounting for balancing of natural gas production and would recognize a liability if the existing proven reserves were not adequate to cover the current imbalance situation.


Asset retirement obligation

ARO reflects the estimated present value of the amount of dismantlement, removal, site reclamation and similar activities associated with the Company's oil and natural gas properties. Inherent in the fair value calculation of the ARO are numerous assumptions and judgments including the ultimate settlement amounts, inflation factors, credit adjusted discount rates, timing of settlement and changes in the legal, regulatory, environmental and political environments.

Income Taxes

The Company follows ASC Topic 740 for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.


Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The net operating loss carryforward for the period ended May 21, 2014 is $75,936.


The Company applies a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties. ASC Topic 740 only allows the recognition of those tax benefits that have a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. As of May 21, 2014, the Company reviewed its tax positions and determined there were no outstanding, or retroactive tax positions with less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, therefore this standard has not had a material effect on the Company.


Recent Pronouncements

The Company has evaluated the recent accounting pronouncements through May 2014 and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the company’s financial statements.


NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As noted above, the Company is in the exploration stage and, accordingly, has not yet generated revenues from operations. Since its inception, the Company has been engaged substantially in financing activities and developing its business plan and incurring startup costs and expenses. As a result, the Company incurred accumulated net losses from Inception (January 17, 2014) through the period ended May 21, 2014 of $75,936. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.


The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital from the sale of common stock and, ultimately, the achievement of significant operating revenues. Failure to obtain additional financing would have a material adverse effect on our business operations. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.


NOTE 3 – OIL AND NATURAL GAS PROPERTIES


As of May 21, 2014 the Company had $1,898,947 in capitalized costs for unproved oil and natural gas properties.


Project Description

The oil and natural gas assets were transferred from a related party to the Company in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of common stock on May 21, 2014. As the leases were transferred to the Company by significant shareholders of the Company, the leases were recorded based on the historical cost basis of the contributing shareholders. The Company has a substantial land position with 80,000 acres over a shallow, conventional oil play in north central Kansas. It is located in a four county area and is geographically defined by the boundaries of the productive North American Rift System. The Company will begin an eight well drilling program with two permitted wells at 12.5% working interests each and six additional wells at 25% working interests each.


NOTE 4 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY


The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock.

NOTE 5 – TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES


Accounts payable to related parties for reimbursement of expenses and settlement of current liabilities is $48,625 as of May 21, 2014. Those parties include Chisholm Partners II, LLC. and E. Will Gray, the Company’s CEO and Director.


The $1,898,947 of oil and natural gas assets were transferred at cost from a related party to the Company in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of common stock.


NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


From time to time, the Company may become a party to litigation matters involving claims against the Company. Management believes that there are no current matters that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.


NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES


The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.


The provision for income taxes consists of the following as of May 21, 2014:


 

 

May 21, 2014

Current Taxes

 

 

Federal

 

State

 

Deferred Taxes

 

 

Federal

 

State

 

Total Provision

 


The total deferred tax asset is calculated by multiplying a 38.62% federal and state statutory tax rate by the cumulative Net Operating Loss (“NOL”) of $75,936. This Net Operating Loss will begin to expire in 2034 for federal jurisdictions and 2024 for state jurisdictions. The total valuation allowance is equal to the total deferred tax asset.  Accordingly, deferred tax assets total approximately $29,327 as of May 21, 2014.


The tax effects of significant items comprising the Company's net deferred taxes as of May 21, 2014 were as follows:


 

May 21, 2014

NOL Deferred Tax Asset

$

29,327 

Valuation allowance

 

(29,327)

 

$


As it is the first year of operations, the valuation allowance increased by the full amount of $29,327.


The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the federal and state statutory tax rate of 38.62% to pretax income from continuing operations for the period ended May 21, 2014 due to the following:


 

May 21, 2014

Income tax benefit at U. S. federal statutory rates:

$

(25,818)

Expected state taxes, net of federal benefit

 

(3,509)

Change in valuation allowance

 

29,327 

 

$


The Company has no tax positions at May 21, 2014 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility.



10




The Company recognizes interest accrued relative to unrecognized tax benefits in interest and penalties accrued relative to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. During the period from January 17, 2014 (date of inception) through May 21, 2014 the Company recognized no income tax related interest and penalties. The Company had no accruals for income tax related interest and penalties at May 21, 2014.


The tax year 2014 remains open to examination for federal income tax purposes and by other major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject.


NOTE 8 – OTHER MATTERS


On January 8, 2014, the Company entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) with Westcott Products Corporation (“Westcott”). The LOI is subject to various conditions, including certain funding requirements. The parties continue to work towards a conclusion of the conditions of the LOI to complete the acquisition; however, no assurance can be given that the various conditions of the LOI will be satisfied or that this acquisition will be completed .

Dala Petroleum Corp.

(Formerly Westcott Products Corporation)

(An Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Pro Forma Financial Statements

For the Six Months Ended March 31, 2014 for Westcott Products Corporation and

For the Period from Inception (January 17, 2014) to May 21, 2014 for Dala Petroleum Corp.


Dala Petroleum Corp. ("Dala" or the “Company”) was established on January 17, 2014 (Date of Inception). The Company is in the exploration stage and has yet to begin operations. Commencing on the Date of Inception, for the accompanying financial statements, the Company’s sponsors paid expenses, entered into agreements, and began organizing the entity on behalf of the Company. Accordingly, the Balance Sheet and related Statements of Operations, Stockholders’ Equity and Cash Flows reflect activity prior to the Company’s date of incorporation in the state of Nevada as a C-Corporation on March 20, 2014.


The Company has not commenced any significant operations and, in accordance with ASC Topic 915, the Company is considered an exploration stage company.


The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to exploration stage enterprises, and are expressed in U.S. dollars.


On June 3, 2014, Westcott Products Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Westcott”), its newly formed and wholly-owned subsidiary, Dala Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Merger Subsidiary”), and Dala Petroleum Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Dala”), executed and delivered an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) and all required or necessary documentation to complete the merger (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), whereby Merger Subsidiary merged with and into Dala, and Dala was the surviving company under the merger and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Westcott on the closing of the merger (the “Merger”).  Effective June 3, 2014, the respective Boards of Directors of Westcott and Dala, along with Westcott, as the sole stockholder of Merger Subsidiary, and Dala’s sole stockholder Chisholm Partners II, LLC, a Louisiana limited liability company (“Chisholm II”) owning 100% of the outstanding voting securities of Dala approved the Merger by written consent, and the Articles of Merger were filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on such date, which was the effective date of the Merger.  Accordingly, Westcott will issue 10,000,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Dala, to be distributed to Dala Petroleum’s sole shareholder that will immediately distribute the shares on a pro rata basis to its members.  Dala had no other outstanding stock options, warrants, preferred stock or securities on the closing of the Merger.  There will then be 12,500,000 outstanding shares of Westcott common stock.  Current Westcott stockholders will own 2,500,000 of these shares or approximately 20% of the outstanding voting securities of Westcott; and Dala stockholders will own approximately 10,000,000 of these shares or approximately 80% of these outstanding voting securities of Westcott.







Several conditions precedent as set forth in the Merger Agreement were completed prior to the Merger. One critical condition precedent set forth in the Merger Agreement is that Westcott would raise no less than $2,000,000 (the minimum Offering) from persons who are “accredited investors” in consideration of the issuance (or the conversion) of a minimum of 2,000 shares up to a maximum of 2,500 shares of its Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock at the offering price of $1,000 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock that is convertible at any time at the option of the Holder into common stock at the conversion price of $0.70 per common share (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Company’s Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation that was filed on May 30, 2014) and 1,429 warrants to purchase common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $1.35 within three years of the “Effective Date” as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement for the Offering. The Effective Date is defined as the earliest date of the following to occur: (a) the initial registration statement required by the Offering Documents has been declared effective by the Commission, (b) all of the underlying shares have been sold pursuant to Rule 144 or may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or (c) following the one year anniversary of the Closing Date provided that a holder of underlying shares is not an Affiliate of the Company, all of the underlying shares may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(1) of the Securities Act without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and Company counsel has delivered to such holders a standing written unqualified opinion that re-sales may then be made by such holders of the underlying shares pursuant to such exemption which opinion shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such holders.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements of the Company (the “pro forma financial statements”) have been prepared for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the combined entities consolidated financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the share purchase exchange between the Company and Westcott Products Corporation had been completed as of the date indicated below. In addition, the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined entities. Future results may vary significantly from the results reflected because of various factors.


The pro forma financial statements give effect to the share exchange as if the share exchange was already consummated. The historical financial statements have been adjusted in the pro forma financial statements to give effects to events that are (1) directly attributable to the share exchange, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined entities. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations does not reflect any non-recurring charges directly related to the share exchange that the combined entities may incur upon completion of the share exchange. The pro forma financial statements were derived from and should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Company and Westcott Products Corporation.


The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2014 for Westcott Products Corporation and as of May 21, 2014 for Dala Petroleum Corp. reflects the merger as if it occurred on March 31, 2014 and the unaudited pro forma condensed statements of operations for the six months ended March 31, 2014 reflect the merger as if it occurred on October 1, 2013.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS


The unaudited pro forma adjustments are as follows:


a.

Per the merger agreement, Dala Petroleum Corp. will issue 2,025 units of Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Shares to investors for cash of $2,025,000.


b.

The issuance of Convertible Preferred Shares and related warrants were issued with down round protection.  The estimated value of the convertible preferred shares is $115,017 and the estimated value of the warrants is $89,590.


c.

To record recapitalization and eliminate accumulated deficit of Westcott Products Corporation.





d.

The adjustment eliminates the historical stockholders’ equity and reflects the issuance of shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement.


e.

The following sets forth the computation of the unaudited pro forma basic and diluted loss per share:
