SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

This Subscription Agreement (this “Agreement”) is being delivered to you in connection with your investment in a publicly-traded company, which will subsequently change its name to Image Metrics, Inc. (“Pubco”), and the concurrent acquisition by exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”) by Pubco of all of the outstanding ordinary and preferred shares of Image Metrics Limited, a private company incorporated in England and Wales. Broadband Capital Management LLC and Joseph Gunnar & Co., LLC (together, the “Placement Agents”) shall serve as co-placement agents of Pubco in conducting a private placement (the “Offering”) of units (“Units”), each Unit consisting of (i) one share of Pubco’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”), convertible into one share of Pubco’s common stock (“Common Stock”), and (ii) a detachable warrant to purchase one-half share of Common Stock (“Warrants”), at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The purchase price per Unit is $1.00. The Offering is being conducted on a “best efforts – 8,000,000 Units or none” basis with a maximum of 12,800,000 Units being offered. All funds received in the Offering shall be promptly transmitted to and deposited in a special non-interest bearing escrow account at Signature Bank, New York, New York (the “Escrow Agent”) and, upon completion of the Exchange Offer and the other conditions precedent set forth herein, shall be released from escrow and delivered to Pubco at which time the securities subscribed for as further described below shall be delivered, subject to Section 8 hereof, to you. The Company and the Placement Agents may continue to offer and sell Units and conduct additional closings (each, a “Closing”) for the sale of additional Units after the Initial Closing until the termination of the Offering.

Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2 hereof, the undersigned hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase the number of Units indicated on page F-10 hereof on the terms and conditions described herein. The minimum number of Units that may be purchased is 50,000. Subscriptions for lesser amounts may be accepted at the sole discretion of Pubco and the Placement Agents.

1.2           Purchase of Securities. The undersigned understands and acknowledges that the purchase price to be remitted to the Placement Agents in exchange for the Units shall be $1.00 per Unit, for an aggregate purchase price as set forth on page 10 hereof (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”).  The undersigned’s delivery of this Agreement to the Placement Agents shall be accompanied by payment for the Units subscribed for hereunder, payable in United States dollars, by check or wire transfer, to “Signature Bank, as Escrow Agent for Image Metrics,” with the undersigned’s delivery of this Agreement to the Placement Agents.

(b)          The undersigned understands and agrees that Pubco and the Placement Agents reserve the right to reject this subscription for the Units in whole or part in any order at any time prior to the closing (the “Closing”) of the purchase and sale of the Units for any or no reason, notwithstanding the undersigned’s prior receipt of notice of acceptance of the undersigned’s subscription.

(c)          In the event of rejection of this subscription by Pubco or the Placement Agents in accordance with Section 2.1(b), or the sale of the Units is not consummated by the Placement Agents for any reason, this Agreement and any other agreement entered into between the undersigned and Pubco relating to this subscription shall thereafter have no force or effect, and the Placement Agents shall promptly return or cause to be returned to the undersigned the purchase price remitted to the Escrow Agent, without interest thereon or deduction therefrom.

3.            INVESTOR’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The undersigned hereby acknowledges, agrees with and represents and warrants to Pubco and the Placement Agents, as follows:

3.1       The undersigned has full right, power and authority, without the necessity of any consent or approval of any other person or entity, to enter into and perform his, her or its obligations under this Agreement, the execution and delivery of which has been duly authorized, if applicable, and this Agreement constitutes the undersigned’s valid, legal and binding obligation, enforceable against the undersigned in accordance with its terms. The performance of the undersigned’s obligations hereunder will not constitute a breach or violation of, or conflict with, any agreement, commitment or other obligation to which the undersigned is a party or by which the undersigned is bound.

3.2       The undersigned acknowledges his, her or its understanding that the offering and sale of the Units is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by virtue of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and the provisions of Regulation D promulgated thereunder (“Regulation D”). In furtherance thereof, the undersigned represents and warrants to Pubco and the Placement Agents as follows:

(a)          The undersigned realizes that the basis for the exemption from registration may not be available if, notwithstanding the undersigned’s representations contained herein, the undersigned is merely acquiring the Units for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise.  The undersigned does not have any such intention;

(b)          The undersigned is acquiring the Units solely for the undersigned’s own beneficial account, for investment purposes, and not with view to, or resale in connection with, any distribution of the shares of Preferred Stock, or shares of Common Stock into which the Preferred Stock is convertible and the Warrants are exercisable;

(c)          The undersigned has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of his, her or its investment, has adequate means for providing for his, her or its current needs and contingencies, and has no need for liquidity with respect to the investment in Pubco;

(d)          The undersigned and the undersigned’s attorney, accountant, purchaser representative and/or tax advisor, if any (collectively, “Advisors”), have received the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum, dated January 26, 2010, together with all appendices thereto (as such documents may be amended or supplemented, the “Memorandum”), relating to the private placement by Pubco of the Units, and all other documents requested by the undersigned or Advisors, if any, have carefully reviewed them and understand the information contained therein, prior to the execution of this Agreement; and
 
 
4

 

(e)          The undersigned (together with his, her or its Advisors, if any) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Units.  If other than an individual, the undersigned also represents it has not been organized solely for the purpose of acquiring the Units.

3.3          The information in the Investor Questionnaire completed and executed by the undersigned (the “Investor Questionnaire”) is true and accurate in all respects, and the undersigned is an “accredited investor,” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.

3.4          The undersigned is not relying on the Placement Agents or their respective affiliates or sub-agents with respect to economic considerations involved in this investment. The undersigned has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only his Advisors. Each Advisor, if any, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Units as such are described in the Memorandum, and each Advisor, if any, has disclosed to the undersigned in writing (a copy of which is annexed to this Agreement) the specific details of any and all past, present or future relationships, actual or contemplated, between the Advisor and the Placement Agents or any respective affiliate or sub-agent thereof.

3.5          The undersigned represents, warrants and agrees that he, she or it will not sell or otherwise transfer the Units, the shares of Preferred Stock or Warrants (including such shares of Common Stock into which the Preferred Stock is convertible and Warrants are exercisable, and collectively with the Units, Preferred Stock and Warrants, the “Securities”) without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and fully understands and agrees that the undersigned must bear the economic risk of his, her or its purchase because, among other reasons, the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under the applicable securities laws of such states, or an exemption from such registration is available. In particular, the undersigned is aware that the Securities are “restricted securities,” as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), and they may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 unless all of the conditions of Rule 144 are met. The undersigned also understands that, except as otherwise provided herein, Pubco is under no obligation to register the Securities on his, her or its behalf or to assist them in complying with any exemption from registration under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws.  The undersigned understands that any sales or transfers of the Securities are further restricted by state securities laws and the provisions of this Agreement.

3.6          No representations or warranties have been made to the undersigned by Pubco, Image Metrics Limited or the Placement Agents, or any of their respective officers, employees, agents, sub-agents, affiliates or subsidiaries, other than any representations of Pubco contained herein and in the Memorandum, and in subscribing for Units the undersigned is not relying upon any representations other than those contained herein or in the Memorandum.

3.7          The undersigned understands and acknowledges that his, her or its purchase of the Units is a speculative investment that involves a high degree of risk and the potential loss of their entire investment and has carefully read and considered the matters set forth in the Memorandum and in particular the matters under the caption “Cautionary Language Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Industry Data” and “Risk Factors” therein, and, in particular, acknowledges that Image Metrics Limited provides facial animation services in the highly competitive interactive entertainment and film industries, and has a limited financial and operating history for purposes of assessing its future financial results, including its ability to ever generate significant revenue or have profits.

3.8          The undersigned’s overall commitment to investments that are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the undersigned’s net worth, and an investment in the Units will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.

3.9          The undersigned understands and agrees that the certificates for the Securities shall bear substantially the following legend until (i) such Securities shall have been registered under the Securities Act and effectively disposed of in accordance with a registration statement that has been declared effective or (ii) in the opinion of counsel for Pubco such Securities may be sold without registration under the Securities Act, as well as any applicable “blue sky” or state securities laws:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  SUCH SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, DELIVERED AFTER SALE, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED BY THE ISSUER WITH THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION COVERING SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

3.10        Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved the Units or the Securities, or passed upon or endorsed the merits of the Offering or confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy of the Memorandum. The Memorandum has not been reviewed by any Federal, state or other regulatory authority.

3.11        The undersigned and his, her or its Advisors, if any, have had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from a person or persons acting on behalf of Pubco and Image Metrics Limited concerning the offering of the Units and the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of Pubco, and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of the undersigned and his, her or its Advisors, if any.

3.12        The undersigned is unaware of, is in no way relying on, and did not become aware of the offering of the Units through or as a result of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising including, without limitation, any article, notice, advertisement or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television, radio or electronic mail through the Internet, in connection with the offering and sale of the Units and is not subscribing for Units and did not become aware of the offering of the Units through or as a result of any seminar or meeting to which the undersigned was invited by, or any solicitation of a subscription by, a person not previously known to the undersigned in connection with investments in securities generally.

3.13        The undersigned has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finders’ fees or the like relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (other than commissions to be paid by Pubco to the Placement Agents, their respective sub-agents or as otherwise described in the Memorandum) and, in turn, to be paid to other selected dealers.

3.14        The undersigned is not relying on Pubco, the Placement Agents or any of their respective employees, agents or sub-agents with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations of an investment in the Units, and the undersigned has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only his, her or its own Advisors.

3.15        The undersigned acknowledges that any estimates or forward-looking statements or projections included in the Memorandum were prepared by the future management of Pubco in good faith, but that the attainment of any such projections, estimates or forward-looking statements cannot be guaranteed by Pubco or its management and should not be relied upon.

3.16        No oral or written representations have been made, or oral or written information furnished, to the undersigned or his, her or its Advisors, if any, in connection with the offering of the Units which are in any way inconsistent with the information contained in the Memorandum.

3.17        The undersigned’s substantive relationship with one or both of the Placement Agents or their respective sub-agents through which the undersigned is subscribing for Units predates such Placement Agent’s or such sub-agent’s contact with the undersigned regarding an investment in the Units.

3.18         The undersigned acknowledges that the foregoing representations, warranties and agreements shall be relied upon by Pubco and the Placement Agents in conducting the Offering and shall survive the Closing.

The Company is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not have or reasonably be expected to result in (i) a material adverse effect on the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, (ii) a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business or financial condition of the Company, or (iii) adversely impair the Company’s ability to perform in any material respect on a timely basis its obligations under this Agreement (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material Adverse Effect”).

The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder.

4.4           Filings, Consents and Approvals. The Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other foreign, federal, state, local or other governmental authority or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement, other than (a) the filing with the SEC of the Registration Statement and applicable blue sky filings, (b) such as have already been obtained or such exemptive filings as are required to be made under applicable securities laws, (c) such other filings that have been made pursuant to applicable state securities laws and post-sale filings pursuant to applicable state and federal securities laws which the Company undertakes to file within the applicable time periods. Subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of each Investor set forth in Section 3 hereof, the Company has taken all action necessary to exempt: (i) the issuance and sale of the Securities, (ii) the issuance of the Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants, and (iii) the other transactions contemplated by the transaction documents from the provisions of any stockholder rights plan or other “poison pill” arrangement, any anti-takeover, business combination or control share law or statute binding on the Company or to which the Company or any of its assets and properties may be subject and any provision of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or By-laws that is or could reasonably be expected to become applicable to the Investors as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation, the issuance of the Securities and the ownership, disposition or voting of the Securities by the Investors or the exercise of any right granted to the Investors pursuant to this Agreement.

4.5          Issuance of the Securities. The shares of Preferred Stock are duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with this Agreement, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens.  The Warrants have been duly and validly authorized.  Upon the due conversion of the Preferred Stock, the underlying Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, security interests, encumbrances or other adverse claims or interests of any kind whatsoever (collectively, “Liens”). Upon the due exercise of the Warrants, the underlying Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable free and clear of all Liens.

4.6          Capitalization.  The Memorandum accurately sets forth the number of shares of capital stock issued and to be issued by the Company as of the Closing Date. All of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid, nonassessable and free of pre-emptive rights and were issued in full compliance with applicable state and federal securities law and any rights of third parties. No person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar right to participate in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. There are no outstanding options, warrants, script rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or obligations convertible into or exchangeable for, or giving any Person any right to subscribe for or acquire, any shares of Common Stock, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock, or securities or rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock, other than in connection with the Exchange Offer and the Company’s stock option plans. The issue and sale of the Securities will not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any person (other than the Investors) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under such securities. There are no voting agreements, buy-sell agreements, option or right of first purchase agreements or other agreements of any kind among the Company and any of the securityholders of the Company relating to the securities of the Company held by them. No person has the right to require the Company to register any securities of the Company under the Securities Act, whether on a demand basis or in connection with the registration of securities of the Company for its own account or for the account of any other person.

4.7          SEC Reports; Financial Statements.  Pubco has filed all reports and registration statements required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the two years preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period as the Company was required by law to file such material) (the foregoing materials, including the exhibits thereto, being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports” and, together with the Memorandum, the “Disclosure Materials”) on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension. As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved in the United States (“GAAP”), except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the Securities thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes required by United States GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit adjustments.

4.11        Regulatory Permits. The Company possesses all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports and the Memorandum, except where the failure to possess such permits would not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (“Material Permits”), and the Company has not received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any Material Permit.

The Company has timely paid all applicable local, state, federal and foreign taxes due and payable (whether or not shown on filed tax returns), except where the failure to so pay would not have a Material Adverse Effect.  There are no pending assessments, asserted deficiencies or claims for additional local, state, federal and foreign taxes that have not been paid. The reserves for taxes, if any, reflected in the SEC Reports or in the Memorandum are adequate, and there are no Liens for taxes on any property or assets of the Company (other than Liens for taxes not yet due and payable).

No claim has been made by any governmental or regulatory authority, agency or commission (a “Governmental Body”) in a jurisdiction where the Company does not file tax returns that it is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. To the knowledge of the Company, no state of facts exists or has existed which would constitute grounds for the assessment of any penalty or any further tax liability beyond that shown on the respective tax returns.

The Company has not received a written notice that the Intellectual Property Rights used by the Company violates or infringes upon the rights of any person. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable.  The Company has taken reasonable steps to protect the Company’s rights in its Intellectual Property Rights and confidential information (the “Confidential Information”).  Each employee, consultant and contractor who has had access to Confidential Information which is necessary for the conduct of Company’s business as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted has executed an agreement to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information and has executed appropriate agreements that are substantially consistent with the Company’s standard forms thereof.  Except under confidentiality obligations, there has been no material disclosure of any of the Company’s Confidential Information to any third party.

5.            COVENANTS

5.1          Registration Rights.

(a)          Pubco shall file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock into which the Preferred Stock is convertible and the Warrants are exercisable (the “registrable shares”) on or around, but no later than, 90 days after the Closing Date. Pubco shall use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable after the initial filing, but in any event not later than 270 days after the Closing Date (or 300 days in the event of a full review by the SEC of the Registration Statement), and agrees to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to respond to any SEC comments or questions regarding the Registration Statement on or prior to the date which is 20 business days from the date such comments or questions are received, but in any event not later than 30 business days from the date such comments or questions are received.  Pubco will maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement from the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement until 18 months after that date; provided, however, that, if at any time or from time to time after the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, Pubco notifies the undersigned in writing of the existence of a Potential Material Event (as defined below), the undersigned shall not offer or sell any of the registrable shares, or engage in any other transaction involving or relating to the Securities, from the time of the giving of notice with respect to a Potential Material Event until Pubco notifies the undersigned that such Potential Material Event either has been disclosed to the public or no longer constitutes a Potential Material Event; provided, further that, Pubco may not suspend the right of the undersigned pursuant to this Section 5.1(a) for more than 60 days in the aggregate. “Potential Material Event” means the possession by Pubco of material information regarding a potential transaction not ripe for disclosure in a registration statement, which shall be evidenced by determinations in good faith by the Board of Directors of Pubco that disclosure of such information in the registration statement would be detrimental to the business and affairs of Pubco.

 
12

 

(b)          If (i) Pubco fails to file the Registration Statement with the SEC on or prior to 90 days after the Closing Date, (ii) Pubco fails to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC on or prior to 270 days (or 300 days in the event of a full review) after the Closing Date or, if earlier, within three days after the SEC states that there will be no review or has no further comments, (iii) Pubco fails to respond to the SEC, within 30 days after receipt, to any questions and comments from the SEC regarding the Registration Statement or (iv) Pubco fails to timely file its periodic reports with the SEC in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Pubco shall be obligated to pay liquidated damages in cash equal to 2% of the Aggregate Purchase Price of the Units subscribed for by the undersigned for each month (or portion thereof) that the Registration Statement is not so filed, effective or responded to or Pubco fails to satisfy its periodic reporting requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) Pubco shall not be obligated to pay to the undersigned pursuant to this paragraph an aggregate liquidated damages amount greater than 12% of the Aggregate Purchase Price of the Units subscribed for by the undersigned and (B) any such liquidated damages may be waived entirely in the event the Board of Directors of Pubco determines that Pubco’s management has exerted its best efforts to cause the registrable shares to be registered within the aforementioned time periods and to remain current in filing its periodic reports.

(c)          Pubco shall notify the undersigned at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. At the request of the undersigned, Pubco shall also prepare, file and furnish to the undersigned a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such shares, such prospectus shall not include 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 not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. The undersigned agrees not to offer or sell any registrable shares covered by the Registration Statement after receipt of such notification until the receipt of such supplement or amendment.

(d)          Pubco may request the undersigned to furnish Pubco such information with respect to the undersigned and the undersigned’s proposed distribution of the registrable shares pursuant to the Registration Statement as Pubco may from time to time reasonably request in writing or as shall be required by law or by the SEC in connection therewith, and the undersigned agrees to furnish Pubco with such information.

(e)          Pubco agrees to bear all SEC registration and filing fees, printing and mailing expenses, and fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants for Pubco.

ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING REQUIREMENTS

       
How big is the problem and
The USA PATRIOT Act
  
What is money laundering?
  
why is it important?
The USA PATRIOT Act is designed to detect, deter, and punish terrorists in the United States and abroad. The Act imposes new anti-money laundering requirements on brokerage firms and financial institutions. Since April 24, 2002, all brokerage firms have been required to have new, comprehensive anti-money laundering programs.
 
Money laundering is the process of disguising illegally obtained money so that the funds appear to come from legitimate sources or activities. Money laundering occurs in connection with a wide variety of crimes, including illegal arms sales, drug trafficking, robbery, fraud, racketeering, and terrorism.
 
The use of the U.S. financial system by criminals to facilitate terrorism or other crimes could taint our financial markets. According to the U.S. State Department, one recent estimate puts the amount of worldwide money laundering activity at $1 trillion a year.
         
To help you understand theses efforts, we want to provide you with some information about money laundering and our steps to implement the USA PATRIOT Act.
       

What are we required to do to eliminate money laundering?  
Under new rules required by the USA PATRIOT Act, our anti-money laundering program must designate a special compliance officer, set up employee training, conduct independent audits, and establish policies and procedures to detect and report suspicious transactions and ensure compliance with the new laws.
 
As part of our required program, we may ask you to provide various identification documents or other information. Until you provide the information or documents we need, we may not be able to effect any transactions for you.

PRIVACY POLICIES

It is the policy of each of Broadband Capital Management LLC and Joseph Gunnar & Co., LLC (each, a “Placement Agent” and together, the “Placement Agents”) to respect the privacy of customers who subscribe to transactions placed by the Placement Agents.

Whether its own brokers introduce Customers to the Placement Agents or the introduction was made through Selling Agents (hereinafter referred to as “Subscribers”) non-public personal information is protected by each of the Placement Agents.

Neither of the Placement Agents will disclose any non-public personal information about Subscribers to anyone, except as required or permitted by law and to effect, administer or enforce transactions requested by Subscribers in the ordinary processing, servicing or maintaining their accounts. Furthermore, the Placement Agents do not reserve the right to disclose Subscriber’s non-public personal information in the future without first notifying the Subscriber of a change in privacy policy and providing a convenient opportunity for Subscriber to opt out of information sharing with non-affiliated third parties.

Under the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56)(together with all rules and regulations promulgated hereunder, the “Patriot Act”), the Placement Agents and/or your broker may be required or requested to disclose to one or more regulatory and/or law enforcement bodies certain information regarding transactions relating to your account involving transactions with foreign entitles and individuals, other transactions in your account as required in the Patriot Act and other activities described in the Patriot Act as “suspicious activities.” Neither the Placement Agents nor your broker shall have any obligation to advise you of any such disclosures or reports made in compliance with the Patriot Act.
