Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

  1. Subscription. The person (the “Purchaser”) named on the front of this subscription agreement (this “Subscription Agreement”), intending to be legally bound, hereby irrevocably agrees to purchase from Worldwide Stages, Inc., a Tennessee corporation (the “Company”) and certain shareholders of the Company (the “Selling Shareholders”), the number of shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock (the “Class B Stock”) set forth on the front of this Subscription Agreement at a purchase price of $10.00 (USD) per share and upon the terms and conditions herein. The rights of the Class B Stock are as set forth in the Company’s Charter, which is an exhibit to the Offering Statement on Form 1-A (the “Offering Statement”) filed by the Company with the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), a copy of which the Purchaser has received and read. The minimum subscription is $1,000.00, or 100 shares of Common Stock.

 

This subscription is submitted by the Purchaser in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions described in this Subscription Agreement, relating to the exempt offering by the Company and the Selling Shareholders named in the Offering Statement of up to 7,500,000 shares of the Class B Stock for maximum aggregate gross proceeds of $75,000,000 (the “Offering”). In the Offering, the Company is offering up to 6,000,000 shares of the Class B Stock. The Selling Shareholders are offering up to 1,500,000 shares of the Securities. There is no minimum required offering amount and the Company may accept subscriptions until the termination of the Offering in accordance with its terms (the “Termination Date”). The Company may elect at any time to close all or any portion of this offering, on various dates at or prior to the Termination Date (each a “Closing Date”).

 

Upon the basis of the representations and warranties, and subject to the terms and conditions, set forth herein, the Company agrees to issue and sell the Securities to the Purchaser on a Closing Date (the “Closing”) for the aggregate purchase price set forth on the front page hereto (the “Subscription Price”).

 

  2. Payment. Concurrent with the execution hereof, the Purchaser authorizes (i) North Capital Private Securities Corporation (the “Escrow Agent”) as escrow agent for the Company, to request the Subscription Price from the Purchaser’s bank (details of which are set out in the “Payment Details” section above) or (ii) the transfer of funds in an amount equal to the Subscription Price from the Purchaser’s bank account into the escrow account [insert escrow account information] [operated by the Company]. The Company shall cause the Escrow Agent to maintain all such funds for the Purchaser’s benefit in a segregated non-interest-bearing account until the earliest to occur of: (i) a Closing, (ii) the rejection of such subscription or (iii) the termination of the Offering by the Company in its sole discretion.

 

  3. Termination of Offering or Rejection of Subscription.

 

  3.1. In the event that (a) the Company does not effect a Closing on or before the date which is one year from the Offering being qualified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which period may be extended for an additional six (6) months by the Company in its sole discretion, or (b) the Offering is terminated by the Company in its sole discretion, the Company will cause its payment services provider or the Escrow Agent, as applicable, to refund promptly the Subscription Price paid by the Purchaser, without deduction, offset or interest accrued thereon and this Subscription Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force or effect.

 

  3.2. The Purchaser understands and agrees that the Company, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to accept or reject this or any other subscription for Class B Stock, in whole or in part, and for any reason or no reason, notwithstanding prior receipt by the Purchaser of notice of acceptance of this subscription. If the Company rejects a subscription, either in whole or in part (which decision is in its sole discretion), the Company shall cause its payment services provider or the Escrow Agent, as applicable, to return promptly the rejected Subscription Price or the rejected portion thereof to the Purchaser without deduction, offset or interest accrued thereon. If this subscription is rejected in whole this Subscription Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force or effect. If this subscription is rejected in part, this Subscription Agreement will continue in full force and effect to the extent this subscription was accepted.

  4. Acceptance of Subscription. At the Closing, if the Company accepts this subscription in whole or in part, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchaser a counterpart executed copy of this Subscription Agreement and cause the Escrow Agent to release the Subscription Price (or applicable portion thereof if such subscription is only accepted in part) to the Company and the Selling Shareholders, as applicable (less any Offering Expenses as defined in the Offering Circular). The Company shall have no obligation hereunder until the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchaser an executed copy of this Subscription Agreement, and until the Purchaser shall have executed and delivered to the Company this Subscription Agreement and a substitute Form W-9 (if applicable) and shall have deposited the Purchase Price in accordance with this Agreement. The Purchaser understands and agrees that this subscription is made subject to the condition that the Class B Stock to be issued and delivered on account of this subscription will be issued only in the name of and delivered only to the Purchaser. Effective upon the Company’s execution of this Subscription Agreement, the Purchaser shall be a shareholder of the Company, and the Purchaser agrees to adhere to and be bound by, the terms and conditions of the Company’s Charter and Bylaws.

 

5.Representations and Warranties, Acknowledgments, and Agreements. The Purchaser hereby acknowledges, represents, warrants and agrees to and with the Company as follows:

 

(a) The Purchaser is aware that an investment in the Class B Stock involves a significant degree of risk, and has received the Company’s Offering Circular dated ●, 2023 (the “Offering Circular”), which contains, in particular, the “Risk Factors” section therein. The Purchaser understands that the Company is subject to all the risks applicable to early-stage companies, whether or not set forth in such “Risk Factors”. The Purchaser acknowledges that no representations or warranties have been made to it or to its advisors or representatives with respect to the business or prospects of the Company or its financial condition.

 

(b) The offering and sale of the Class B Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws. The Purchaser understands that the offering and sale of the Class B Stock is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Tier 2 of Regulation A thereof, based, in part, upon the representations, warranties and agreements of the Purchaser contained in this Subscription Agreement, including, without limitation, the investor qualification (“Investor Qualification and Attestation”) immediately following the signature page of this Subscription Agreement. The Purchaser is purchasing the Class B Stock for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to or intent of resale or distribution thereof in violation of any applicable securities laws, in whole or in part.

 

(c) The Purchaser, as set forth in the Investor Certification attached hereto, as of the date hereof is a “qualified purchaser” as that term is defined in Regulation A (a “Qualified Purchaser”). The Purchaser agrees to promptly provide the Company, the Broker (as defined on the first page hereto) and their respective agents with such other information as may be reasonably necessary for them to confirm the Qualified Purchaser status of the Purchaser.

 

(d) The Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchaser’s responses to the investor qualification questions posed and reflected in the Investor Qualification and Attestation, are complete and accurate as of the date hereof.

(g) Except as previously disclosed in writing to the Company, the Purchaser has taken no action that would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finders’ fees or the like relating to this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and, in turn, to be paid to its selected dealers, and in all instances the Purchaser shall be solely liable for any such fees and shall indemnify the Company with respect thereto pursuant to paragraph 6 of this Subscription Agreement.

 

(h) The Purchaser, together with its advisors, if any, has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax, and business matters, and, in particular, investments in securities, so as to enable it to utilize the Offering Circular to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Class B Stock and the Company and to make an informed investment decision with respect thereto.

(i) The Purchaser is not relying on the Company, the Broker or any of their respective employees or agents with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations of an investment in the Class B Stock, other than with respect to the opinion of legality of legal counsel provided at Exhibit 12.1 to the Offering Statement, and the Purchaser has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only its own advisors, if any, whom the Purchaser has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Class B Stock.

 

(j) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court, governmental agency or body or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Purchaser or any of the Purchaser’s affiliates is required for the execution of this Subscription Agreement or the performance of the Purchaser’s obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the purchase of the Class B Stock Interests by the Purchaser.

The execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement will not violate or be in conflict with any order, judgment, injunction, agreement or controlling document to which the Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound.

 

(m) If an entity, the Purchaser has its principal place of business or, if a natural person, the Purchaser has its primary residence, in the jurisdiction (state and/or country) set forth in the “Investor Qualification and Attestation” section of this Subscription Agreement. The Purchaser first learned of the offer and sale of the Class B Stock in the state listed in the “Investor Qualification and Attestation” section of this Subscription Agreement, and the Purchaser intends that the securities laws of that state shall govern the purchase of the Purchaser’s Class B Stock.

 

(n) The Purchaser is either (i) a natural person resident in the United States, (ii) a partnership, corporation or limited liability company organized under the laws of the United States, (iii) an estate of which any executor or administrator is a U.S. person, (iv) a trust of which any trustee is a U.S. person, (v) an agency or branch of a foreign entity located in the United States, (vi) a non-discretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or trust) held by a dealer or other fiduciary for the benefit or account of a U.S. person, or (vii) a partnership or corporation organized or incorporated under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction that was formed by a U.S. person principally for the purpose of investing in securities not registered under the Securities Act, unless it is organized or incorporated, and owned, by accredited investors who are not natural persons, estates or trusts.

(o) Any information which the Purchaser has heretofore furnished or is furnishing herewith to the Company is true, complete and accurate and may be relied upon by the Company, the Company and the Broker, in particular, in determining the availability of an exemption from registration under federal and state securities laws in connection with the Offering. The Purchaser further represents and warrants that it will notify and supply corrective information to the Company immediately upon the occurrence of any change therein occurring prior to the Company’s issuance of the Class B Stock.

 

(p) The Purchaser is not, nor is it acting on behalf of, a “benefit plan investor” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101(f)(2), as modified by Section 3(42) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (such regulation, the “Plan Asset Regulation”, and a benefit plan investor described in the Plan Asset Regulation, a “Benefit Plan Investor”). For the avoidance of doubt, the term Benefit Plan Investor includes all employee benefit plans subject to Part 4, Subtitle B, Title I of ERISA, any plan to which Section 4975 of the Code applies and any entity, including any insurance company general account, whose underlying assets constitute “plan assets”, as defined under the Plan Asset Regulation, by reason of a Benefit Plan Investor’s investment in such entity.

 

(q) The Purchaser is satisfied that the Purchaser has received adequate information with respect to all matters which it or its advisors, if any, consider material to its decision to make this investment.

 

(r) Within five (5) days after receipt of a written request from the Company, the Purchaser will provide such information and deliver such documents as may reasonably be necessary to comply with any and all laws and ordinances to which the Company is subject.

THE CLASS B STOCK IS SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. THE CLASS B STOCK HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SEC, ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR ANY OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY, NOR HAVE ANY OF THE FOREGOING AUTHORITIES PASSED UPON OR ENDORSED THE MERITS OF THIS OFFERING OR THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE MEMORANDUM OR THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL.

 

(t) The Purchaser should check the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) website at http://www.treas.gov/ofac before making the following representations. The Purchaser represents that the amounts invested by it in the Company in the Offering were not and are not directly or indirectly derived from activities that contravene federal, state or international laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering laws and regulations. Federal regulations and Executive Orders administered by OFAC prohibit, among other things, the engagement in transactions with, and the provision of services to, certain foreign countries, territories, entities and individuals. The lists of OFAC prohibited countries, territories, persons and entities can be found on the OFAC website at http://www.treas.gov/ofac. In addition, the programs administered by OFAC (the “OFAC Programs”) prohibit dealing with individuals, including specially designated nationals, specially designated narcotics traffickers and other parties subject to OFAC sanctions and embargo programs, or entities in certain countries regardless of whether such individuals or entities appear on the OFAC lists. Furthermore, to the best of the Purchaser’s knowledge, none of: (1) the Purchaser; (2) any person controlling or controlled by the Purchaser; (3) if the Purchaser is a privately-held entity, any person having a beneficial interest in the Purchaser; or (4) any person for whom the Purchaser is acting as agent or nominee in connection with this investment is a country, territory, individual or entity named on an OFAC list, or a person or entity prohibited under the OFAC Programs. Please be advised that the Company may not accept any amounts from a prospective investor if such prospective investor cannot make the representation set forth in the preceding paragraph. The Purchaser agrees to promptly notify the Company should the Purchaser become aware of any change in the information set forth in these representations. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that, by law, the Company may be obligated to “freeze the account” of the Purchaser, either by prohibiting additional subscriptions from the Purchaser, declining any redemption requests and/or segregating the assets in the account in compliance with governmental regulations, and the Company may also be required to report such action and to disclose the Purchaser’s identity to OFAC. The Purchaser further acknowledges that the Company may, by written notice to the Purchaser, suspend the redemption rights, if any, of the Purchaser if the Company reasonably deems it necessary to do so to comply with anti-money laundering regulations applicable to the Company or any of the Company’s other service providers. These individuals include specially designated nationals, specially designated narcotics traffickers and other parties subject to OFAC sanctions and embargo programs.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no representation, warranty, covenant or acknowledgment made herein by the Purchaser shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any rights granted to it under the Securities Act or state securities laws.

The Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that the subscription hereunder is irrevocable by the Purchaser, except as required by applicable law, and that this Subscription Agreement shall survive the death or disability of the Purchaser and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns. If the Purchaser is more than one person, the obligations of the Purchaser hereunder shall be joint and several and the agreements, representations, warranties, and acknowledgments herein shall be deemed to be made by and be binding upon each such person and such person’s heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns.

 

  8. Modification. This Subscription Agreement shall not be modified or waived except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom any such modification or waiver is sought.

 

  9. Assignability. This Subscription Agreement and the rights, interests and obligations hereunder are not transferable or assignable by the Purchaser and the transfer or assignment of the Class B Stock shall be made only in accordance with all applicable laws. Any assignment contrary to the terms hereof shall be null and void and of no force or effect.
     
  10. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction. This Subscription Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Purchaser arising out of or in connection with this Subscription Agreement, the Offering Statement (including any exhibits thereto) and the Offering Circular shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of Tennessee without regard to principles of conflict of laws.

    (5) A private business development company as defined in section 202(a)(22) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940;

    (7) A trust, with total assets in excess of $5,000,000, not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the securities offered, whose purchase is directed by a sophisticated person as described in § 230.506(b)(2)(ii) under the Act;
     
    (8) An entity in which all of the equity owners are accredited investors as described above;

 

 
2In calculating your net worth: (i) your primary residence shall not be included as an asset; (ii) indebtedness that is secured by your primary residence, up to the estimated fair market value of the primary residence at the time of entering into this Subscription Agreement, shall not be included as a liability (except that if the amount of such indebtedness outstanding at the time of entering into this Subscription Agreement exceeds the amount outstanding 60 days before such time, other than as a result of the acquisition of the primary residence, the amount of such excess shall be included as a liability); and (iii) indebtedness that is secured by your primary residence in excess of the estimated fair market value of the primary residence at the time of entering into this Subscription Agreement shall be included as a liability. In calculating your net worth jointly with your spouse, your spouse’s primary residence (if different from your own) and indebtedness secured by such primary residence should be treated in a similar manner.
