THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated on the signature page, is by and between Tecogen Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the subscriber identified on the signature page (the “Subscriber”).
WHEREAS, the Company and the Subscriber are executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance upon an exemption from securities registration afforded by the provisions of Section 4(a)(2), Section 4(6) and/or Regulation D (“Reg. D”) as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); and
WHEREAS, the parties desire that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, the Company shall issue and sell to the Subscriber, as provided herein, and the Subscriber shall purchase, in the aggregate, at the Closing (as defined below), $5,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”) of shares of the Company’s Common Stock (such shares, the “Shares”) at a purchase price per Share set forth on the signature page (“Per Share Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price shall be payable to the Company at the Closing, which is taking place simultaneously with the execution and deliver of this Agreement by the parties.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement, the Company and the Subscriber hereby agree as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale of Shares. The Subscriber hereby purchases the Shares at the Per Share Purchase Price (the total purchase price being referred to herein as the “Purchase Price”), and the Company hereby sells the Shares to the Subscriber.
2. Closing; Deliveries Etc.
(a) Company’s Deliveries. Immediately after receipt of the Purchase Price for the Shares, the Company shall irrevocably instruct the Company’s transfer agent to deliver, on an expedited basis, a certificate evidencing the Shares registered in the name of the Subscriber.
(b) Subscriber’s Deliveries. The Subscriber shall immediately deliver or cause to be delivered to the Company the Purchase Price by wire transfer to the account specified in writing by the Company.
