Stock Purchase Agreement

 

On October 28, 2013, Pan Global, Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Pan Global”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pan Asia Infratech, Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Pan Asia”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Regency Yamuna Energy Limited, a privately held corporation formed in India under the Companies Act of 1956, as amended (“RYEL”), Mr. Arun Sharma, a Director and majority stockholder of RYEL (“Sharma”), and the remaining stockholders of RYEL (the “Selling Stockholders”).

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Pan Asia has agreed to invest an aggregate of 387.5 million (387,500,000) Indian Rupees (“Rs.”), or approximately $6,352,459 USD based on the average currency exchange rate of 61 Rupees for every U.S. dollar (“USD”) for the recent period prior to October 28, 2013 and used by Pan Global for the sole purpose of providing approximate U.S. dollar equivalents in this Form 8-K (the “Exchange Rate”), in RYEL (the “Transaction”) for the following purposes:

 

1.To fund the completion of RYEL’s 5.7 MW (4.9 MW allotted) Small Hydro Project in Badyar, India having a valuation of Rs. 671.1 million (671,100,000) (approximately $11,001,629 USD based on the Exchange Rate) (the “Project”);

 

2.To enable RYEL to restructure its outstanding secured bank credit facility with the State Bank of Patalia (“SBOP Term Credit Facility”) of Rs. 283.6 million (283,600,000) (approximately $4,649,480 USD based on the Exchange Rate) and personally guaranteed by Sharma; and

 

3.To purchase common shares (the “Shares”) from RYEL and 100% of the outstanding Shares and convertible debt (if not previously converted) from Sharma and the Selling Stockholders;

 

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Transaction is scheduled to be consummated in several stages, commencing with Pan Asia purchasing the Debenture (as defined below) from RYEL:

 

First Closing:

 

 The first round of closings is scheduled to be consummated in several tranches, commencing no later than the 5th Business Day after the Debenture Issue Date (as defined below) and pursuant to which Pan Global is to purchase an aggregate of 2,758,621 Shares in consideration for an aggregate of Rs. 40 million (40,000,000) (approximately $655,738 USD based on the Exchange Rate), constituting approximately 13.4005% of the outstanding Shares of RYEL.

 

Second Closing:

 

No later than fifteen (15) Business Days of the date power is generated by the Project to the grid (the “Commercial Operational Date”) and Pan Asia’s receipt of certain documentation as specified in the Purchase Agreement, Pan Asia is to purchase an aggregate of 8,127,094 Shares, consisting of (i) 6,896,552 Shares from RYEL, Sharma and the Selling Stockholders in consideration for an aggregate of Rs. 100 million (100,000,000) (approximately $1,639,344 USD based on the Exchange Rate) and (ii) 1,230,542 Shares from Sharma in consideration for shares of Preferred Stock of Pan Global having a stated face value of Rs. 17,842,861 (approximately $292,506 USD based on the Exchange Rate), constituting approximately 38.0758% of the outstanding Shares of RYEL.

 

 
 

 

Upon the consummation of the Second Closing, Pan Asia will have invested an aggregate of Rs. 140 million (140,000,000) (approximately $2,295,082 USD based on the Exchange Rate) in RYEL in exchange for 10,885,715 Shares, representing approximately 51% of outstanding Shares of RYEL.

 

Third Closing:

 

No later than ninety (90) days after the Commercial Operation Date, Pan Asia has agreed to consummate a financing with a third party and have a registration statement on Form S-1, or such other appropriate form (the “Registration Statement”), filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) therein registering an amount of Common Stock of Pan Global sufficient for the financing; and shall use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as possible.

 

No later than thirty (30) days after the date the SEC declares the Registration Statement to be effective under the Securities Act, Pan Asia has agreed to commence purchasing for an aggregate purchase price of Rs. 247.5 million (247,500,000) (approximately $4,057,377 USD based on the Exchange Rate) (adjusted up or down for the difference between the purchase price and the Rupee value of prior payments calculated on the day of each prior payment):

 

the 15,195,468 remaining outstanding Shares from the Selling Stockholders

 

the Pan Global Preferred Stock issued to Sharma in the Second Closing at the Stated Value;

 

certain liabilities of RYEL; and

 

certain indebtedness of Sharma and his associates (or the Shares issued upon the conversion of such indebtedness).

 

Pan Asia shall have ninety (90) days to fully consummate the Third Closing, resulting in Pan Asia owning 100% of the outstanding equity of RYEL and RYEL having no debt other than the restructured SBOP Term Loan Credit Facility of Rs. 283.6 million (283,600,000), subject to Pan Asia’s option to extend such ninety (90) day period by up to an additional ninety (90) days in its sole discretion (the “Drop Dead Date”).

 

Upon the consummation of the Third Closing, Pan Asia will have invested an aggregate of Rs. 387.5 million (387,500,000) (approximately $6,352,459 USD based on the Exchange Rate) in RYEL in exchange for 26,081,182 Shares, representing 100% of outstanding Shares of RYEL.

 

In addition to the foregoing, Pan Asia has agreed to promptly take all necessary actions to either substitute or release Sharma’s personal guarantee of the SBOP Term Loan Credit Facility as soon as it is required. In consideration for Sharma’s agreement to continue his personal guarantee of the SBOP Term Loan Credit Facility for the time period from such required date to the date on which such substitution or release is effected, Pan Asia agrees to pay Sharma 1% (one percent) of the outstanding indebtedness under the SBOP Term Loan Credit Facility per annum, payable on an annual basis.

 

The Purchase Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Drop Dead Date, by the unanimous written consent of the parties, or by any of the parties upon the breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement and such breach, inaccuracy or failure has not been cured by defaulting parties within ten days of written notice, or by Pan Asia if RYEL, Sharma or the Selling Stockholders fail or refuse to complete the Transaction by the Drop Dead Date. Upon termination of the Purchase Agreement, Pan Asia will retain such proportionate equity interest in the Project based on funds invested by Pan Asia in relation to the total equity of the Project;provided, however, Pan Asia shall have the right to require RYEL to repurchase all the equity of RYEL (“Put Option”) purchased by Pan Asia as of the date of termination for 125% of the purchase price paid by Pan Asia as of the Drop Dead Date; and in the event Pan Asia exercises the Put Option, RYEL shall have 30 days to complete its repurchase of such equity, with penalty interest accruing at a rate of 1% per month thereafter.

 

 
 

 

The consummation of the Transaction is contingent upon, among other matters:

 

(a) RYEL providing Pan Asia with financial statements for its two most recently completed fiscal years, prepared in accordance with U.S. generally acceptable accounting principles (“GAAP”) and audited by a PCAOB-registered accountant, as well as unaudited interim financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP;
   
(b) RYEL amending its charter documents to permit the Transaction;
   
(c) Pan Asia’s satisfactory completion of its engineering, financial and legal due diligence of RYEL and the Project;
   
(d) Regulatory approval; and
   
(e) Third party consents.

 

15% Convertible Debenture

 

On October 28, 2013 (the “Debenture Issue Date”), Pan Asia purchased a debenture from RYEL in the aggregate principal amount of Rs. 4.2 million (4,200,000) (approximately $68,852 USD based on the Effective Rate), bearing interest at the rate of 15% per year, maturing on the October 18, 2014 and convertible into Shares of RYEL at the rate of Rs. 14.50 per Share (the “Debenture”). Amounts due under the Debenture are secured as a secondary (residual) charge against all of the assets of RYEL, registered as a second lien on all of RYEL’s assets that have been pledged to RYEL’s senior secured indebtedness and as a first lien on any other assets of RYEL’s that have not been so pledged. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Pan Asia agreed to convert the Debenture at the first tranche of the First Closing.

 

Stockholders’ Agreement

 

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the parties to the Purchase Agreement also entered into a stockholders’ agreement, dated October 28, 2013(the “Stockholders’ Agreement”). Generally, pursuant to the Stockholders’ Agreement, RYEL and the RYEL stockholders agreed to take all necessary or desirable actions within their control, to ensure that the number of directors constituting the board of directors of RYEL (each a “Director” and, collectively, the “Board”) is fixed and remains at all times at four (4), and that the following individuals are elected and continue to serve as Directors of the Board:

“Small hydro” power generation facilities are a fast-growing component of India’s electricity generation sector. These projects typically comprise hydropower plants less than 25 MW and are different than traditional large-scale hydropower because they have a significantly reduced environmental impact. Small- and mini-hydro facilities are typically “run-of-the-river” power plants, which do not dam the water channel, thereby retaining a light environmental footprint on the channel hydrology and surrounding terrain. Various Indian states with small hydro potential have assessed their resource during the past two decades and in the last 5-10 years have been calling tenders for hundreds of mega-watts of such projects.

 

The Purchase Agreement, Debenture, Stockholders’ Agreement and Escrow Agreement are filed as exhibits to this Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing summary of the agreements is qualified in its entirety by the agreements filed herewith.

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENTPage 47
 

 

(a) Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is Selling Stockholder, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Company, or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 8.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Selling Stockholder and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 5.08) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

 

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENTPage 48
 

 

(b) Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 8.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

(c) Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30 day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(d) Tax Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the control of any claim, assertion, event or proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company (including, but not limited to, any such claim in respect of a breach of the representations and warranties in Section 3.21(a) hereof or any breach or violation of or failure to fully perform any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in Article VI) shall be governed exclusively by Article VI hereof.

 

Section 8.06 Payments. Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within 15 Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such 15 Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to and including the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to 20%. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed, without compounding.

 

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENTPage 49
 

 

Section 8.07 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

 

Section 8.08 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in Section 7.02 or Section 7.03, as the case may be.

 

Section 8.09 Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 10.12, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Article VI and this Article VIII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Article VI and this Article VIII. Nothing in this Section 8.09 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any party’s fraudulent, criminal or intentional misconduct.

Article III

Pre-emptive Rights

 

Section 3.01 Pre-emptive Right.

 

(a) Issuance of New Securities. The Company hereby grants to the Investor (a “Pre-emptive Stockholder”) a separate right to purchase its Pre-emptive Pro Rata Portion of any New Securities that the Company may from time to time propose to issue or sell to any party; provided, that the provisions of this Section 3.01 shall not apply to any Excluded Issuance.

 

(b) Additional Issuance Notices. The Company shall give written notice (an “Issuance Notice”) of any proposed issuance or sale of New Securities described in Section 3.01(a) to the Pre-emptive Stockholders within five (5) Business Days following any meeting of the Board at which any such issuance or sale is approved. The Issuance Notice shall, if applicable, be accompanied by a written offer from any prospective purchaser seeking to purchase the applicable New Securities (a “Prospective Purchaser”) and shall set forth the material terms and conditions of the proposed issuance or sale, including:

 

(i) the number and description of New Securities proposed to be issued;

 

(ii) the proposed issuance date, which shall be at least twenty (20) Business Days from the date of the Issuance Notice;

 

(iii) the proposed purchase price per share of New Securities and all other material terms of the offer or sale; and

 

(iv) if the consideration to be paid by the Prospective Purchaser includes non-cash consideration, the Fair Market Value thereof.

Stockholders AgreementPage 11
 

 

(c) Exercise of Pre-emptive Rights. The Pre-emptive Stockholder shall for a period of ten (10) Business Days following the receipt of an Issuance Notice (the “Pre-emptive Exercise Period”) have the right to elect irrevocably to purchase all or any portion of its Pre-emptive Pro Rata Portion of any New Securities on the terms and conditions, including the purchase price, set forth in the Issuance Notice by delivering a written notice to the Company (a “Pre-emptive Acceptance Notice”) specifying the number of New Securities it desires to purchase up to its Pre-emptive Pro Rata Portion. The delivery of a Pre-emptive Acceptance Notice by a Pre-emptive Stockholder shall be a binding and irrevocable offer by such Stockholder to purchase the New Securities described therein. The failure of a Pre-emptive Stockholder to deliver a Pre-emptive Acceptance Notice by the end of the Pre-emptive Exercise Period shall constitute a waiver of its rights under this Section 3.01(c) with respect to the purchase of such New Securities, but shall not affect its rights with respect to any future issuances or sales of New Securities.

 

(d) Sales to the Prospective Purchaser. Following the expiration of the Pre-emptive Exercise Period and, if applicable, the Company shall be free to complete the proposed issuance or sale of New Securities described in the Issuance Notice with respect to which Pre-emptive Stockholders declined to exercise the pre-emptive right set forth in this Section 3.01 on terms no less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Issuance Notice (except that the amount of New Securities to be issued or sold by the Company may be reduced); provided, that: (i) such issuance or sale is closed within twenty (20) Business Day after the expiration of the Pre-emptive Exercise Period (subject to the extension of such twenty (20) Business Day period for a reasonable time not to exceed forty (40) Business Days to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain any third-party approvals); and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, the price at which the New Securities are sold to the Prospective Purchaser is at least equal to or higher than the purchase price described in the Issuance Notice. In the event the Company has not sold such New Securities within such time period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first again offering such securities to the Pre-emptive Stockholders in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.01.

 

(e) Closing of the Issuance. The closing of any purchase by the Pre-emptive Stockholder shall be consummated concurrently with the consummation of the issuance or sale described in the Issuance Notice. Upon the issuance or sale of any New Securities in accordance with this Section 3.01, the Company shall deliver the New Securities in certificated form, free and clear of any liens (other than those arising hereunder and those attributable to the actions of the purchasers thereof), and the Company shall so represent and warrant to the purchasers thereof, and further represent and warrant to such purchasers that such New Securities shall be, upon issuance thereof to such purchasers and after payment therefor, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Pre-emptive Stockholder shall deliver to the Company the purchase price for the New Securities purchased by it by certified or bank check or wire transfer of immediately available funds. Each party to the purchase and sale of New Securities shall take all such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the purchase and sale including, without limitation, entering into such additional agreements as may be necessary or appropriate.

(ii) The initial right of the Company to purchase any Offered Stock shall be exercisable with the delivery of a written notice (the “Company ROFR Exercise Notice”) by the Company to the Offering Stockholder and the Applicable ROFR Rightholders within twenty (20) Business Day of receipt of the ROFR Notice (the “Company Option Period”), stating the applicable number(s) (including where such number is zero) and type(s) of Offered Stock the Company elects to purchase on the terms and purchase price(s) set forth in the ROFR Notice.

The Applicable ROFR Rightholder Exercise Notice shall be binding upon delivery and irrevocable by the Applicable ROFR Rightholder.

 

(iv) If the Applicable ROFR Rightholders pursuant to Section 4.03(d)(iii) do not, in the aggregate, elect to purchase all of the remaining Offered Stock not purchased by the Company, each Applicable ROFR Rightholder electing pursuant to Section 4.03(d)(iii) to purchase its entire ROFR Pro Rata Portion of each class or series of remaining Offered Stock (each, an “Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholder”) shall have the right to purchase all or any portion of any class or series of remaining Offered Stock not elected to be purchased by the Company and the Applicable ROFR Rightholders. As promptly as practicable following the Applicable ROFR Rightholder Exercise Period, the Offering Stockholder shall deliver a written notice to each Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholders (an “Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholder Notice”) stating the number(s) and type(s) of remaining Offered Stock available for purchase following the Applicable ROFR Rightholder Exercise Period. For a period of ten (10) Business Days following the receipt of an Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholder Notice (such period, the “Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholder Option Period”), each Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholder shall have the right to elect to purchase all or any portion of each class or series of remaining Offered Stock by delivering a written notice to the Company and the Offering Stockholder (an “Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholder Exercise Notice”) specifying the number(s) and type(s) of additional remaining Offered Stock it desires to purchase on the terms and applicable purchase price(s) set forth in the ROFR Notice.

(v) The failure of the Company or any Applicable ROFR Rightholder to deliver a Company ROFR Exercise Notice or an Applicable ROFR Rightholder Exercise Notice, respectively, by the end of the Company Option Period or the Applicable ROFR Rightholder Option Period, respectively, shall constitute a waiver of the applicable rights of first refusal under this Section 4.03 with respect to the Transfer of the Offered Stock, but shall not affect their respective rights with respect to any future Transfers.

 

Stockholders AgreementPage 17
 

 

(e) Allocation of Offered Stock. Upon the expiration of the Applicable ROFR Rightholder Option Period or, if applicable, the expiration of the Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholder Option Period, each class or series of remaining Offered Stock not selected for purchase in its entirety by the Company pursuant to Section 4.03(d)(ii) shall be allocated for purchase among the Exercising Applicable ROFR Rightholders, as follows:

(ii) Each Tag-along Stockholder shall execute the applicable purchase agreement, if any, and shall make or provide the same representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities as the Selling Stockholder makes or provides in connection with the Tag-along Sale; provided, that each Tag-along Stockholder shall only be obligated to make representations and warranties that relate specifically to a Stockholder (as opposed to the Company and its business) with respect to the Tag-along Stockholder’s title to and ownership of the applicable Shares (or Stock Equivalents), authorization, execution and delivery of relevant documents, enforceability of such documents against the Tag-along Stockholder, and other similar representations and warranties made by the Selling Stockholder, and shall not be obligated to make any of the foregoing representations and warranties with respect to any other Stockholder or their Shares (or Stock Equivalents); provided, further, that all indemnities and other obligations shall be made by the Selling Stockholder and each Tag-along Stockholder severally and not jointly and severally (A) with respect to breaches of representations, warranties and covenants made by the Selling Stockholder and the Tag-along Stockholders relating to the Company and its business, if any, pro rata based on the aggregate consideration received by the Selling Stockholder and each Tag-along Stockholder in the Tag-along Sale, and (B) in an amount not to exceed for the Selling Stockholder or any Tag-along Stockholder, the aggregate consideration received by the Selling Stockholder and each such Tag-along Stockholder in connection with the Tag-along Sale, as applicable, plus the amount of any consideration forfeited by the Selling Stockholder or such Tag-along Stockholder, as applicable, to which it is entitled but has not yet received (including, without limitation, as a result of an escrow agreement, earn-out or similar arrangement).

 

(f) Cooperation.

10. Taxes. Each of the parties agree that, for purposes of federal and other taxes based on income, Buyer shall be treated as the owner of the Escrow Funds and that Buyer shall report the income, if any, that is earned on, or derived from, the Escrow Funds as its income, in the taxable year or years in which such income is properly includible and pay any taxes attributable thereto.

12. Force Majeure. None of the parties shall be liable or responsible to the other parties, nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement or Ancillary Document, when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by: (a) natural calamities and other acts of God; (b) flood, fire or explosion; (c) war, terrorism, invasion, riot or other civil unrest; (d) embargoes or blockades in effect on or after the date of this Agreement; (e) national or regional emergency;(f) strikes, lock-outs, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances;(g) any passage of law or governmental order, rule, regulation or direction, or any action taken by a governmental or public authority, including imposing an embargo, export or import restriction, quota or other restriction or prohibition; (h) national or regional shortage of adequate power or telecommunications or transportation facilities; (i) any effects of the “shutdown” of the U.S. government as a result of any impasse in the United States Congress over the budget or federal debt ceiling, including delays or failures to act by any Governmental Authority or (j) any disruption in the banking systems or financial markets in the United States or India (each of the foregoing, a “Force Majeure Event”), in each case provided that (A) such event is outside the reasonable control of the affected party; (B) the affected party provides prompt notice to the other party, stating the period of time the occurrence is expected to continue; and (C) the affected party uses diligent efforts to end the failure or delay and minimize the effects of such Force Majeure Event.

 

13. Notices.

Pan Global Corp. Enters into Definitive Agreement to

 

Acquire 100% of 5.7MW Small-Hydro Plant in India

 

Carson City, NV--(Marketwired–October 29, 2013 8:30 AM EST) – Pan Global, Corp. (OTCQB: PGLO) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce today that through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pan Asia Infratech, Corp. (“Pan Asia Infratech”), it has entered into a definitive stock purchase agreement (“Agreement”) to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares and convertible debt (if not previously converted) of Regency Yamuna Energy Limited (“RYEL”), a privately held Indian corporation which is commissioning a 5.7 MW small-hydro project in northern India (the “Project”). The Project is estimated to be 95% complete and commercial operation is expected to commence during the fourth quarter of 2013.

 

Pan AsiaInfratech entered into the Agreement with RYEL, Mr. Arun Sharma, a Director and majority stockholder of RYEL (“Mr. Sharma”),and the remaining stockholders of RYEL (the “Sellers”) on October 28, 2013, which includes, among others, the following terms:

 

The parties have agreed upon the Project’s valuation of Rs. 671,100,000 (approximately $11,001,639 USD);
The agreed upon total purchase price in the Agreement is Rs. 387,500,000 (approximately $6,352,459 USD);
The long terms loans provided by the State Bank of Patiala (“SBOP”) to the RYEL totaling Rs. 283,600,000 (approximately $4,649,180 USD)will remain in place at closing and Mr. Sharma has agreed to maintain his current personal guarantees with SBOP until the Company can arrange alternative security to SBOP;
RYEL will be acquired over several tranches through a series of closings. In each closing, the Company will receive portions of the equity of RYEL until it has reached 100% ownership; and
The first set of tranches totaling approximately Rs. 20,000,000 (approximately $327,869 USD)will purchase new equity in RYEL. These first closings will allow RYEL to complete the remaining construction on the Project thereby enabling it to become commercially operational or “Connected to the Grid,” and begin producing revenue.

 

The Company’s management stated, “We are excited to have reached another step in developing our business. Execution of this definitive agreement stems from our commitment to establish ourselves in the green economy. We believe our capital structure, combined with current and potentially new investors and our professional team, provides us with the tools to complete this acquisition and share the benefits with our stockholders for years to come.”
