Exhibit 3.27

 

FORM OF SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

 

The undersigned investor (“Investor”) hereby tenders this Subscription Agreement (the “Agreement”) in connection with such Investor’s purchase, in accordance with the terms hereof, of DPW Notes (each, a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”) issued by DPW Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“DPW” or the “Company”). Investor understands that the Offering is being made without registration of the Notes under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company has qualified with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), in a Regulation A offering of the Notes, the Company’s Form 1-A and amendments and supplements thereto (collectively, the “Offering Statement”), which can be obtained from the SEC EDGAR filing website. No decision to invest in the Notes should be made without reading the Offering Statement and the other Note Purchase Documents (as defined herein).

 

1.           Subscription. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Investor hereby irrevocably subscribes for Notes in the amount set forth on the signature page hereto, which is payable as described in the applicable Note and subject to Section 2 of this Agreement. Investor acknowledges that the Notes will be subject to the terms and conditions, including without limitation, restrictions on transfer, as set forth in this Agreement, the Notes, the Securities Act, the Offering Statement, the DPW Terms of Use (“Terms of Use”), the Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”), and the Frequently Asked Questions (“FAQs”) available on the www.monthlyinterest.com website (collectively, the “Note Purchase Documents”). Investor agrees to read the Note Purchase Documents in their entirety to fully understand, prior to making a purchase, the terms therein, which will be made in accordance with the Note Purchase Documents.

 

2.           Acceptance of Subscription and Issuance of Notes. The Company shall have the sole right, at its sole and absolute discretion, to accept or reject this subscription, in whole or in part, for any reason.

 

(a)         Investor will not be deemed to have purchased any Notes unless and until such time as all of the following conditions have occurred: (A) this Agreement and such other documentation as may be requested by the Company has been duly and validly executed by Investor, delivered to the Company and accepted by the Company and (B) the purchase price for the Notes has been delivered pursuant to instructions provided by the Company.

 

(b)         Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not offer, and shall have no obligation to issue any of the Notes to any person who is a resident of a jurisdiction in which any such offering or the issuance of Notes to him, her or it would constitute a violation of any applicable law, including without limitation, a violation of the securities, “blue sky” or other similar laws of such jurisdiction. Investor agrees to pay to the Company the aggregate purchase price for the Notes in the amount set forth on the signature page attached hereto.

 

3.           Terms of the Notes and Investor Acknowledgments. Investor hereby acknowledges and agrees that:

  

(a)         EACH NOTE SHALL HAVE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE APPLICABLE NOTE ISSUED BY THE COMPANY, WHICH IS AVAILABLE FOR THE INVESTOR’S REVIEW ON THE SITE PRIOR TO PURCHASE.

 

(b)         The Notes have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, or under the securities act of any other jurisdiction, nor is any such registration contemplated. The Notes will be offered and sold under the exemption provided by Section 3(b)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Regulation A promulgated thereunder pursuant to an Offering Circular forming a part of the Offering Statement on Form 1-A (the “Offering Circular”) filed with the SEC, available on the SEC’s EDGAR filing database at www.sec.gov, and other exemptions of similar import in the laws of the states and other jurisdictions where the offering will be made. Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has passed upon the merits of or given its approval of any securities offered or the terms of the offering nor passed upon the accuracy or completeness of any offering circular or other selling literature. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. The Notes are being offered pursuant to an exemption from registration with the SEC; however, the SEC has not made an independent determination that the securities offered thereunder are exempt from registration.

 

   
 

 

(c)         AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES IS HIGHLY RISKY AND THE INVESTOR MAY LOSE ALL OF SUCH INVESTOR’S INVESTMENT. THE NOTES ARE HIGHLY SPECULATIVE SECURITIES. THE INVESTOR SHOULD PURCHASE THESE SECURITIES ONLY IF SUCH INVESTOR CAN AFFORD A COMPLETE LOSS OF SUCH INVESTOR’S INVESTMENT. BEFORE PURCHASING ANY NOTE OFFERED BY THE COMPANY, THE INVESTOR HAS REVIEWED THE RISK DISCLOSURES AND OTHER TERMS OF THE DPW NOTE OFFERING AVAILABLE IN THE OFFERING STATEMENT AND THE OTHER NOTE PURCHASE DOCUMENTS.

 

(d)         THE NOTES DO NOT REPRESENT AN OWNERSHIP INTEREST IN ANY DPW LOANS, THEIR PROCEEDS, OR THEIR ASSETS. THE NOTES ARE OBLIGATIONS OF DPW ONLY AND NOT ANY BORROWER OF DPW.

 

(e)         THE INVESTOR HAS NO RIGHT, AND SHALL NOT MAKE ANY ATTEMPT, DIRECTLY OR THROUGH ANY THIRD-PARTY, TO CONTACT ANY BORROWER OF DPW. ALL AGREEMENTS AND OBLIGATIONS RELATING TO THE NOTES ARE BETWEEN THE INVESTOR AND DPW AND NOT WITH DPW’S THIRD-PARTY CUSTOMERS. THE INVESTOR IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH INVESTOR’S INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS BOTH WITHIN THE SITE AND OUTSIDE OF THIS SITE. IT IS PROHIBITED FOR USERS TO CONTACT EACH OTHER OUTSIDE OF THE SITE FOR PURPOSES RELATED TO ACTIVITIES ON THE SITE.

  

(f)         SUCH INVESTOR WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY PAYMENTS AFTER THE APPLICABLE MATURITY DATE OF EACH NOTE. EACH NOTE WILL MATURE ON THE MATURITY DATE, UNLESS DPW EXERCISES ITS OPTION TO CALL THE NOTE PRIOR TO ITS MATURITY DATE.

 

(g)          DPW HAS INCURRED NET LOSSES IN THE PAST AND EXPECTS TO INCUR NET LOSSES IN THE FUTURE.

(o)         Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement in any way.

 

9.         Notice of Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration and Class Action/Class Arbitration Waiver.

The parties agree that the arbitration shall be administered by JAMS and the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Expedited Procedures of the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures except as otherwise agreed in this Agreement. The arbitrator shall be chosen in accordance with the procedures of JAMS, and shall base the award on applicable New York law. The parties agree that the arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The non-prevailing party will be responsible to pay the costs of arbitration of the prevailing party. Each party may pursue arbitration solely in an individual capacity, and not as a representative or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s or entity’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. This arbitration section is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16.
