THIS INDEMNIFICATION AND ESCROW AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made
and entered into as of this 28th day of September, 2004 by and among CCP
Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), Dyadic International, Inc.,
a Florida corporation (the "Company"), Mark Tompkins ("Tompkins"), Vitel
Ventures ("Vitel," and together with Tompkins referred to individually as a
"Stockholder" and collectively as "Stockholders"), and Jenkens & Gilchrist, a
Professional Corporation, as escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent").
RECITALS
A. CCP Acquisition Corp, a Florida corporation and wholly-owned
subsidiary of Parent (the "Acquisition"), Parent and the ----------- Company
have entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of
September 28, 2004 (the "Merger Agreement"), whereby Acquisition will be merged
with and into the Company (the "Merger").
B. If the Merger is consummated, Stockholder will receive substantial
benefits and value.
C. Stockholders intend to indemnify and hold harmless, on a
non-recourse basis, Parent, the Company and their respective officers,
directors, and employees and each person, if any, who controls such persons
within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act against certain
Indemnified Losses (as hereinafter defined).
D. Vitel desires to escrow, or cause to be escrowed, with an escrow
agent 225,000 shares of Parent Common Stock, which are shares that are to be
issued to Vitel pursuant to the Merger in respect to Vitel's shares of common
stock in the Company, to secure Stockholders' obligations to indemnify the
Indemnified Parties (as hereinafter defined) against the Indemnified Losses.
E. As an accommodation to the other parties, and notwithstanding the
fact that the Escrow Agent is legal counsel to the Company, the other parties
have requested that the Escrow Agent also serve in the capacity of an escrow
agent in the performance of this Agreement.
F. By execution of this Agreement, the parties hereto desire to set
forth more specifically their rights and obligations with respect to the
indemnification and escrow obligations of Stockholders to the Indemnified
Parties.
G. Section 6.18 of the Merger Agreement requires Stockholders to
execute and deliver this Agreement to Parent and the Company.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals (which are
hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement) and the mutual and
dependent covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not
otherwise defined shall have the meanings given them in the Merger Agreement, a
copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
2. Regulatory Indemnification Provisions. Stockholders, jointly and
severally, agree on a non-recourse basis (a) to indemnify and hold harmless
Parent, the Company and their respective officers, directors and employees, and
each person, if any, who controls such person within the meaning of the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties"),
against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense and/or actions in respect
thereof (collectively, the "Regulatory Indemnified Losses") arising from,
relating to or incurred under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any SEC
rule, other federal or state statutory law or regulation, the rules and
regulations of any self-regulatory organization (including without limitation,
the National Association of Securities Dealers or NASDAQ) or common law
(collectively, the "Applicable Laws") (including in settlement of any
litigation, investigation or administrative proceeding, if such settlement is
effected with the written consent of Stockholder, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), insofar as such Regulatory Indemnified Losses
arise out of or are based upon any failure of Parent to have complied on or
before the Merger Effective Time with any of the Applicable Laws, including,
without limitation: (i) the failure of any registration, information or proxy
statement, report or other document filed by Parent with the SEC or any state
securities regulatory authority (each a "Filed Document") to be timely filed or
otherwise conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Applicable
Laws; or (ii) the inclusion in any Filed Document of any untrue statement of
material fact or the omission from any Filed Document of any material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading; and
(b) to reimburse the Indemnified Parties for any legal and other expense
incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with investigating, defending,
settling, compromising or paying any such Regulatory Indemnified Loss. Without
limitation, the amount of any such Regulatory Indemnified Loss shall include
Parent's expenses, including its legal and accounting fees, incurred with
respect to (i) any amendment of any Filed Document, including responding to SEC
comments or the comments of any state securities regulatory authority related to
any Filed Documents, and\or (ii) the performance of any additional services
relating to the preparation of and\or amendment of any registration, information
or proxy statement, report or other document filed by Parent with the
Commission, any state securities regulatory authority, and/or NASDAQ following
the Merger Effective Time, including without limitation, Parent's registration
statement under the Exchange Act and its reports on Form 8-K reporting the
Merger, the Merger Agreement and related transactions, made necessary or
advisable as a result of deficiencies in the Filed Documents or any other
failure of Parent to have complied with Applicable Laws prior to the Merger
Effective Time. For avoidance of any doubt, no additional services referred to
in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been performed
with respect to the preparation of Parent's reports on Form 8-K reporting the
Merger, the Merger Agreement and related transactions in the absence of any
deficiencies in the Filed Documents or any other failure of Parent to have
complied with Applicable Laws prior to the Merger Effective Time.
3. Breaches of Agreements by Parent and Affiliates. Stockholders,
jointly and severally, agree on a nonrecourse basis (a) to indemnify and hold
harmless the Indemnified Parties against any loss, claim, damage, liability or
expense and/or actions in respect thereof (collectively, the "Agreement
2
Indemnified Losses") arising from, relating to or incurred as a result of (i)
any breach by Parent on or before the Merger Effective Time of any
representation, warranty or covenant of Parent contained in the Merger Agreement
or (ii) any breach by David R. Allison ("Allison") or Custom Craft Packaging,
Inc., a North Carolina corporation ("Custom Craft"), of any of their respective
representations, warranties or covenants contained in that certain Split-Off
Agreement dated as of September 28, 2004 (the "Split-Off Agreement"), between
Parent, the Company, Custom Craft and Allison; and (b) to reimburse the
Indemnified Parties for any legal and other expense incurred by the Indemnified
Parties in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or
paying any such Agreement Indemnified Loss. Stockholders acknowledge that the
representations, warranties and covenants of Parent contained in the Merger
Agreement survive beyond the Merger Effective Time, as provided in Section 8 of
the Merger Agreement.
4. Additional Indemnification Provisions. Stockholders, jointly and
severally, shall also (a) indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties
against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense and/or actions in respect
thereof (collectively, the "Additional Indemnification Losses") (including in
settlement of any litigation, investigation or administrative proceeding, if
such settlement is effected with the written consent of Stockholder, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) insofar as such
Additional Indemnification Losses arise out of, relate to or are based upon (i)
any liability or obligation of Parent for any federal, state or local taxes as a
result of the Split-Off, (ii) the failure of Parent to have more than three
hundred (300) round lot holders (as computed in accordance with the rules of the
NASDAQ Stock Market), without counting the stockholders and investors in the
Company existing as of the date of this Agreement, by the ninetieth (90th)
Business Day following the Merger Effective Time, or (iii) any violations of
federal or state securities laws attributable to any past or future purchases or
sales by either of Stockholders of Parent Common Stock, or any derivative
securities thereof; and (b) reimburse the Indemnified Parties for any legal and
other expense incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with
investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such Additional
Indemnified Loss.
5. Escrow Deposit. Simultaneously with the execution of this
Agreement, Vitel has deposited, or cause to be deposited, --------------- with
the Escrow Agent 225,000 shares of Parent Common Stock (or 225,000 shares of the
Company's common stock to be exchanged for Parent Common Stock as a result of
the Merger) (the "Escrow Shares"), which will be available to satisfy any
amounts owed to any of the Indemnified Parties with respect to Regulatory
Indemnified Losses, Agreement Indemnified Losses and/or Additional Indemnified
Losses (collectively, the "Indemnified Losses"). Vitel shall endorse over the
certificates representing the Escrow Shares to the Escrow Agent, and Vitel,
Parent and Escrow Agent shall cause the Escrow Shares to be registered in Escrow
Agent's name under the style "Jenkens & Gilchrist, a Professional Corporation,"
as Escrow Agent" with Parent's transfer agent and registrar for the Parent
Common Stock. The Escrow Agent shall take physical possession of certificates
representing the Escrow Shares registered in its name as aforesaid and hold such
certificates representing the Escrow Shares in an "Escrow Account" subject to
and in accordance with this Agreement. If Vitel deposits Company Common Stock
instead of Parent Common Stock, Vitel will cooperate to effect the exchange of
each Company Common Stock for Parent Common Stock in accordance with the terms
of the Merger.
3
6. Administration of Escrow Account. The Escrow Agent shall
administer the Escrow Account and Escrow Shares as follows:
(a) If an Indemnified Party has incurred or suffered an
Indemnified Loss for which, based on its good faith belief, such Person is
entitled to be indemnified by the Stockholders pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement (the "Claim"), it may request the release of some or all of the Escrow
Shares by giving written notice of its Claim in accordance with the provisions
of Section 12 hereof (the "Claim Notice") to the Escrow Agent and the other
parties hereto prior to or on the Termination Date (as hereinafter defined),
describing in such notice the amount of the claimed Indemnified Losses and a
reasonable description of the basis for such Claim; provided, however, that a
Claim Notice shall be deemed to be sufficient and properly made even if at the
time of the giving of the Claim Notice the amount of the Claim has not been
determined, is not known or can only be described in general terms so long as
the Claim Notice so states and in such event, the Claim shall be deemed to be an
Open Claim (as hereinafter defined) and the Escrow Agent shall reserve all
Escrow Shares remaining in the Escrow Account (plus all dividends received on
the Escrow Shares, which shall constitute part of the Escrow Account), which
shall be deemed a Claim Reserve (as hereinafter defined) until a subsequent
Claim Notice relating to the original Claim Notice that contains a specific
amount is delivered to the Escrow Agent and at that time Stockholders may make a
written objection to such Claim pursuant to Section 6(c) hereof. The one (1)
year anniversary of the consummation of the Merger shall be referred to herein
as the "Termination Date."
(b) If the Escrow Agent has not received written objection
to a Claim by an Indemnified Party from Stockholders within thirty (30) days
after delivery to the Escrow Agent and Stockholders of the Claim Notice with
respect to such Claim from such Indemnified Party, the Claim stated in such
notice shall be conclusively deemed to be approved by Stockholders, and the
Escrow Agent shall on the second (2nd) banking day thereafter issue to the
applicable Indemnified Party the number of Escrow Shares from the Escrow Account
having a Value (as hereinafter defined) equal to the amount of the Claim.
(c) If within such thirty (30) days the Escrow Agent shall
have received from Stockholders a written objection to any Claim or any portion
of a Claim made by an Indemnified Party, reasonably specifying the nature of and
grounds for such objection (a copy of which shall in each case be sent to such
Indemnified Party in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 below), then
such Claim or such portion of the Claim shall be deemed to be an "Open Claim"
and the Escrow Agent shall reserve within the Escrow Account the number of
Escrow Shares having a Value equal to the amount of the Open Claim (which amount
for each Open Claim is referred to herein as a "Claim Reserve"). Any portion of
the Claim that Stockholders have not specifically objected to pursuant to this
subsection shall be deemed to be approved by Stockholders, and the Escrow Agent
shall on the second (2nd) banking day after expiration of such thirty (30) day
period release to such Indemnified Parties from the Escrow Account the number of
Escrow Shares having a Value equal to the portion of the Claim not objected to
pursuant to this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Stockholders may object
to a Claim or a portion of a Claim pursuant to this Section 6 only based upon a
good faith belief that all or any portion of the Claim does not constitute
Indemnified Losses for which such Indemnified Parties are entitled to
indemnification under this Agreement or that the amount of any Claim is
overstated.
4
(d) The amount constituting the Claim Reserve for each
Open Claim shall be paid by the Escrow Agent from the Escrow Account to such
Indemnified Parties only in accordance and consistent with (i) a joint written
instruction by such Indemnified Parties and Stockholders (a "Joint Instruction")
or (ii) a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction (a
"Final Determination"). The Escrow Agent shall act on a Joint Instruction or a
Final Determination without further question. Any portion of an Open Claim not
payable to the Indemnified Parties shall be no longer subject to the Claim
Reserve and shall remain part of the Escrow Account.
(e) For purposes of this Agreement, the "Value" of each of
the Escrow Shares shall be $3.33 per share.
(f) In connection with the performance of this Agreement
each of the parties expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Escrow Agent is
not providing legal services in connection with its escrow services rendered
under this Agreement but that, for other matters, Escrow Agent is legal counsel
to the Company, and following the consummation of the Merger, will be legal
counsel to Parent, and therefore agrees that in no event shall the mere fact
that the Escrow Agent is serving as the escrow agent hereunder give rise to any
conflict of interest or other grounds by which the Company, or subsequent to the
Merger, the Parent, shall be deprived of the benefit of the Escrow Agent's legal
counsel, provided that if there shall arise any dispute between any of the
parties hereto in connection with the performance of this Agreement, the Escrow
Agent shall resign its position as Escrow Agent hereunder in favor of a new
escrow agent mutually agreed to by the other parties hereto.
7. Deliveries from Escrow. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow
Shares in escrow in accordance with this Agreement and shall make deliveries of
Escrow Shares only as follows:
(a) Deliveries shall be made to an Indemnified Party for
Claims made by such Indemnified Party under this Agreement with respect to the
Escrow Account when, and to the extent, authorized under Section 6 above.
(b) Promptly after the six (6) month anniversary of the
consummation of the Merger (the "6-Month Anniversary"), the Escrow Agent shall
deliver to Vitel 75,075 of the Escrow Shares then held in the Escrow Account;
provided, however, if the aggregate amounts of any and all Claim Reserves as of
the 6-Month Anniversary exceed $500,000, the number of Escrow Shares to be
delivered under this paragraph (b) by the Escrow Agent to Vitel shall be reduced
by the number equal to (i) the excess of the aggregate amounts of any and all
Claim Reserves as the 6-Month Anniversary over $500,000 divided by (ii) $3.33.
(c) Promptly after the Termination Date, the Escrow Agent
shall deliver to Vitel all of the remaining Escrow Shares then held in the
Escrow Account less the number of Escrow Shares having a Value equal to the
aggregate amounts of any and all Claim Reserves as of the Termination Date.
After the Termination Date, the number of Escrow Shares constituting the Claim
Reserve for each Open Claim shall be delivered by the Escrow Agent from the
Escrow Account to an Indemnified Party or Vitel upon a Joint Instruction or a
Final Determination with respect to such Open Claim.
5
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
all deliveries made to an Indemnified Party or Vitel under this Agreement shall
be made to the primary address for notices for that Person set forth in Section
12 hereof, unless the Escrow Agent receives other written delivery instructions
from such Person.
(e) All deliveries to any Person under this Agreement of
Escrow Shares shall be effected by transfers from the Escrow Agent of registered
ownership of the required number of Escrow Shares using stock powers and
physical delivery and reissuance of certificates representing the Escrow Shares
to be delivered by the Escrow Agent with the assistance of the transfer agent
and registrar for the Parent Common Stock. Parent shall cooperate, and shall
instruct its transfer agent and registrar to cooperate, in any efforts by the
Escrow Agent to effect a delivery of Escrow Shares through a transfer of
registration of certificates representing such Escrow Shares in favor of any
Person.
(f) This Agreement shall terminate when the entire Escrow
Account has been delivered in accordance with this Section 7.
8. Conditions to Escrow. The Escrow Agent agrees to hold the Escrow
Account and to perform in accordance with the terms and provisions of this
Agreement. The parties hereto agree that the Escrow Agent does not assume any
responsibility for the failure of any of the parties hereto to perform in
accordance with the Merger Agreement or this Agreement. The acceptance by the
Escrow Agent of its responsibilities hereunder is subject to the following terms
and conditions, which the parties hereto agree shall govern and control with
respect to the Escrow Agent's rights, duties, liabilities and immunities:
(a) The Escrow Agent shall be protected in acting upon any
written notice, consent, receipt or other paper or document furnished to it, not
only as to its due execution and validity and effectiveness of its provisions,
but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information therein contained,
which the Escrow Agent in good faith believes to be genuine and what it purports
to be. Should it be necessary for the Escrow Agent to act upon any instructions,
directions, documents or instruments issued or signed by or on behalf of any
corporation, fiduciary, or individual acting on behalf of another party hereto,
it shall not be necessary for the Escrow Agent to inquire into such
corporation's, fiduciary's or individual's authority. The Escrow Agent is also
relieved from the necessity of satisfying itself as to the authority of the
persons executing this Agreement in a representative capacity.
(b) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any error of
judgment or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it in good faith, or
for any mistake of fact or law, or for anything which it may do or refrain from
doing in connection herewith, except for its own gross negligence, recklessness
or willful misconduct.
(c) The Escrow Agent may consult with, and obtain advice
from, legal counsel in the event of any question as to any of the provisions
hereof or the duties hereunder, and it shall incur no liability and shall be
fully protected in acting in good faith in accordance with the opinion and
instructions of such counsel. The reasonable costs of such counsel's services
shall be paid to the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 11 below.
6
(d) The Escrow Agent shall have no duties except those
which are expressly set forth herein and it shall not be bound by the Merger
Agreement or any agreement of the other parties hereto (whether or not it has
any knowledge thereof) or by any notice of a claim, or demand with respect
thereto, or any waiver, modification, amendment, termination or rescission of
this Agreement, until received by an officer in its Corporate Trust Department
in writing.
(e) The Escrow Agent reserves the right to resign at any
time by giving thirty (30) days written notice of resignation, specifying the
effective date thereof. Within thirty (30) days after receiving the aforesaid
notice, the parties to this Agreement, other than the Escrow Agent, agree to
appoint a successor Escrow Agent to which the Escrow Agent may distribute the
property then held hereunder, less the Escrow Agent's fees, costs and expenses.
If a successor Escrow Agent has not been appointed and has not accepted such
appointment by the end of the 30-day period, the Escrow Agent may apply to a
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent,
and the costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees which are incurred in
connection with such a proceeding shall be paid by the parties to this
Agreement.
(f) Upon delivery of all of the Escrow Account pursuant to
the terms of Section 6 or 7 above or to a successor escrow agent, the Escrow
Agent shall thereafter be discharged from any further obligations hereunder. The
Escrow Agent is hereby authorized, in any and all events, to comply with and
obey any and all final judgments, orders and decrees of any court of competent
jurisdiction which may be filed, entered or issued, and all final arbitration
awards and, if it shall so comply or obey, it shall not be liable to any other
person by reason of such compliance or obedience.
(g) In the event that any escrow property shall be
attached, garnished, or levied upon by any court order, or the delivery thereof
shall be stayed or enjoined by an order of a court, or any order, judgment or
decree shall be made or entered by any court order affecting the property
deposited under this Agreement, or any part thereof, the Escrow Agent is hereby
expressly authorized, in its sole discretion, to obey and comply with all writs,
orders or decrees so entered or issued, which it is advised by legal counsel of
its own choosing is binding upon it, whether with or without jurisdiction, and
in the event that the Escrow Agent obeys or complies with any such writ, order,
judgment or decree, it shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to
any other person, firm or corporation, by reason of such compliance
notwithstanding that such writ, order, judgment or decree is subsequently
reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.
(h) If the Escrow Agent becomes involved in litigation on
account of this Agreement, it shall have the right to retain counsel and shall
have a first lien on the property deposited hereunder for any and all costs,
attorneys' fees, charges, disbursements, and expenses in connection with such
litigation; and shall be entitled to reimburse itself therefor out of the
property deposited hereunder, and if it shall be unable to reimburse itself from
the property deposited hereunder, both parties agree to pay to the Escrow Agent
on demand its reasonable charges, counsel and attorneys' fees, disbursements and
7
expenses in connection with such litigation in accordance with the terms of
Section 11 below. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Escrow Agent shall
not be entitled to take from the property deposited hereunder nor be entitled to
receive moneys from the parties in the event such litigation finally determines
that the Escrow Agent acted with gross negligence, recklessness or willful
misconduct.
(i) In the event that conflicting demands are made upon
the Escrow Agent for any situation not addressed in this Agreement, the Escrow
Agent may withhold performance of the terms of this Agreement until such time as
said conflicting demands shall have been withdrawn or the rights of the
respective parties shall have been settled by court adjudication, arbitration,
joint order or otherwise.
(j) Any corporation or association into which the Escrow
Agent may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to
which it may sell or transfer its corporate trust business and assets as a whole
or substantially as a whole, or any corporation or association resulting from
any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which it is a
party, shall be and become the successor Escrow Agent hereunder and vested with
all of the title to the whole property or trust estate and all of the trusts,
powers, immunities, privileges, protections and all other matters as was its
predecessor, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further
act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
9. Indemnification. Stockholders, Parent and the Company, jointly and
severally, hereby agree to indemnify the Escrow Agent for and to hold it
harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross
negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part of the Escrow Agent
arising out of or in connection with its performance under this Agreement. The
indemnification provided for under this Section 9 shall be allocated and paid in
the same manner as fees, costs and expenses under Section 11 below and shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the
Escrow Agent.
10. Banking Days. If any date on which the Escrow Agent is required
to make a delivery pursuant to the provisions hereof is not a day on which the
Escrow Agent is open for business, then the Escrow Agent shall make such
delivery on the next succeeding business day.
11. Escrow Costs. Parent and Stockholders shall each pay one-half of
the reasonable fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) of the
Escrow Agent for the services to be rendered by the Escrow Agent pursuant to
this Agreement. The Escrow Agent may deduct the fees and expenses allocated to
each of the parties hereto from any cash amounts to be paid to such party from
the Escrow Account. The Escrow Agent agrees to serve as Escrow Agent in
accordance with the fee schedule attached as Exhibit B hereto. The Escrow Agent
shall have, and is hereby granted, a prior lien upon any property, cash, or
assets of the Escrow Account, with respect to its unpaid fees, nonreimbursed
expenses and unsatisfied indemnification rights, superior to the interests of
any other persons or entities. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled and is hereby
granted the right to set off and deduct any unpaid fees, nonreimbursed expenses
and/or unsatisfied indemnification rights from property on deposit in the Escrow
Account.

16. Taxation of Interest Earned on Investment of Escrow Account.

with a Form W-9 or W-8, as applicable. The Escrow Agent shall report to the

obligation to pay any taxes or estimated taxes.
17. Interpretation. The headings in this Agreement are inserted for
convenience of reference only and shall not be a part of or control or affect
the meaning hereof. As used herein, a reference to "he" or "his" or like

association, trust, governmental agency (or division thereof) or any other legal
entity.
18. No Waiver. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no
failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege

other right, power or privilege.
19. Severability. The parties agree that (a) the provisions of this
Agreement shall be severable in the event that for any reason whatsoever the
provisions hereof were invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, (b) such
invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable provisions shall be automatically
replaced by other provisions which are as similar as possible in terms to such

laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.
21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties
hereto, in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all

FORM OF SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT ("Subscription Agreement") made as of this __ day
of __________________, 2004, by and among CCP Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), Dyadic International, Inc., a Florida corporation
and upon the Closing Date (as defined below) a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company ("Dyadic") and the undersigned (the "Subscriber").
WHEREAS, the Company and Dyadic are parties to a certain Agreement of
Merger and Plan of Reorganization dated as of September 28, 2004 (the "Merger
Agreement"), pursuant to which a newly organized, wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company will merge with and into Dyadic, Dyadic will become a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, and the existing Dyadic stockholders will obtain
majority ownership and control of the Company (the "Merger"). Immediately after
the effective time of the Merger (the "Closing Date"), the Company will change
its name to Dyadic International, Inc. and will assume, through Dyadic, its
business and operations.
WHEREAS, to facilitate the Merger, and as a condition to the closing of
the Merger, the Company intends to issue, in a private placement transaction
(the "Offering") pursuant to Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), its Units (the "Units") consisting of (i) one
(1) share of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common
Stock"), and (ii) one (1) five (5) year callable warrant for every two (2) Units
purchased hereunder, each warrant to purchase one (1) share of the Company's
Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $5.50 per share (the "Warrants" and
the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants the "Warrant
Shares"), on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, and the Subscriber
desires to acquire that number of Units set forth on the signature page hereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:
1. Subscription Procedure
1.1 Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the
Subscriber hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company such
number of Units as is set forth upon the signature page hereof at a price of
$3.33 per Unit (the "Purchase Price"). The Company agrees to sell such Units to
the Subscriber for the Purchase Price.
1
1.2 The subscription period will begin as of October 1, 2004 and will
terminate (if the Closing Date has not earlier occurred) at 5 PM Eastern
Standard Time on November 5, 2004, unless extended by the Company, Dyadic and
the Placement Agents (as defined below) for up to an additional 90 days (the
"Termination Date"). The Units will be offered on a "best efforts" basis as more
particularly set forth in the Confidential Offering Memorandum dated October,
2004 and any supplements thereto (the "Offering Memorandum"). The minimum dollar
amount of Units that may be purchased by the Subscriber is $25,000 unless Dyadic
and the Company waive the requirement. The consummation of the Offering is
subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions, as further described in
the Offering Memorandum, one or more of which conditions may not occur.
1.3 Placement of Units will be made by [redacted names of Placement
Agents] (collectively, the "Placement Agents"), which will receive certain
compensation therefor as provided in that certain Engagement Agreement, dated
June 15 2004, between the Placement Agents and Dyadic and which is more fully
described in the Offering Memorandum.
1.4 The Purchase Price will be placed in escrow pursuant to an escrow
agreement by and among the Placement Agents, the Company, and McGuireWoods LLP
as escrow agent (the "Escrow Agreement") and shall be paid over to the Company
at the closing of the purchase of the Units in the Offering (the "Closing") to
occur on the Closing Date.
1.5 The certificates for the Common Stock together with the accompanying
Warrants bearing the name of the Subscriber will be delivered by the Company no
later than fifteen (15) days following the Closing Date. The Subscriber hereby
authorizes and directs the Company to deliver the securities to be issued to
such Subscriber pursuant to this Subscription Agreement to the residential or
business address indicated in the Investor Questionnaire.
1.6 The Purchase Price for the Units purchased hereunder shall be paid by
certified check, payable to McGuireWoods LLP, as escrow agent, or by wire

[redacted name of Placement Agent]-Dyadic Subscription Escrow
1.7 The Company and Dyadic may, in their sole discretion, reject any
subscription, in whole or in part, or terminate or withdraw the Offering in its
entirety at any time prior to a closing in relation thereto. Neither the Company
nor any Placement Agent shall be required to allocate among investors on a pro
rata basis in the event of an over-subscription.
2. Representations and Covenants of Subscriber
2.1 The Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of Units involves a high
degree of risk in that (i) the Company will need additional capital but has no
assurance of additional necessary capital; (ii) an investment in the Company is
highly speculative and only investors who can afford the loss of their entire
investment should consider investing in the Company and the Units; (iii) an
investor may not be able to liquidate his investment; (iv) transferability of
the securities comprising the Units is extremely limited; and (v) an investor
could sustain the loss of his entire investment, as well as other risk factors,
as more fully set forth herein and in the Offering Memorandum.
2
2.2 The Subscriber represents that he is an "accredited investor" as such
term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act, as
indicated by his responses to the Investor Questionnaire, the form of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit A, and that he or it is able to bear the economic
risk of an investment in the Units. The Subscriber must complete the Investor
Questionnaire to enable the Company and Dyadic to access the Subscriber's
eligibility for the Offering.
2.3 The Subscriber acknowledges that he has prior investment experience,
including investment in non-listed and non-registered securities, or he has
employed the services of an investment advisor, attorney or accountant to read
all of the documents furnished or made available by the Company or Dyadic both
to him and to all other prospective investors in the Units and to evaluate the
merits and risks of such an investment on his behalf, and that he recognizes the
highly speculative nature of this investment.
2.4 The Subscriber acknowledges receipt and careful review of the Offering
Memorandum, this Subscription Agreement, the Common Stock Purchase Warrant and
the attachments hereto and thereto (collectively, the "Offering Documents") and
hereby represents that he has been furnished or given access by the Company or
Dyadic during the course of this Offering with or to all information regarding
the Company and Dyadic and their respective financial conditions and results of
operations which he had requested or desired to know; that all documents which
could be reasonably provided have been made available for his inspection and
review; that he has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and
receive answers from duly authorized representatives of the Company and Dyadic
concerning the terms and conditions of the Offering, and any additional
information which he had requested.
2.5 The Subscriber acknowledges that this Offering of Units may involve
tax consequences, and that the contents of the Offering Documents do not contain
tax advice or information. The Subscriber acknowledges that he must retain his
own professional advisors to evaluate the tax and other consequences of an
investment in the Units.
2.6 The Subscriber acknowledges that this Offering of Units has not been
reviewed or approved by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") because the Offering is intended to be a nonpublic offering pursuant to
Section 4(2) of the Act. The Subscriber represents that the Units are being
purchased for his own account, for investment and not for distribution or resale
to others. The Subscriber agrees that he will not sell or otherwise transfer any
of the securities comprising the Units unless they are registered under the Act
or unless an exemption from such registration is available and, upon the
Company's request, the Company receives an opinion of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Company confirming that an exemption from such registration
is available for such sale or transfer.
2.7 The Subscriber understands that the Units have not been registered
under the Act by reason of a claimed exemption under the provisions of the Act
which depends, in part, upon his investment intention. The Subscriber realizes
that, in the view of the SEC, a purchase now with an intent to distribute would
represent a purchase with an intent inconsistent with his representation to the
Company, and the SEC might regard such a distribution as a deferred sale to
which such exemption is not available.
3
2.8 The Subscriber understands that Rule 144 (the "Rule") promulgated
under the Act requires, among other conditions, a one year holding period prior
to the resale (in limited amounts) of securities acquired in a non-public
offering, such as the Offering, without having to satisfy the registration
requirements under the Act. The Subscriber understands that the Company makes no
representation or warranty regarding its fulfillment in the future of any
reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act"), or its dissemination to the public of any current
financial or other information concerning the Company, as is required by Rule
144 as one of the conditions of its availability. The Subscriber consents that
the Company may, if it desires, permit the transfer of the Common Stock included
in the Units or issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants out of his name only
when his request for transfer is accompanied by an opinion of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Company that neither the sale nor the proposed transfer
results in a violation of the Act or any applicable state "blue sky" laws
(collectively, "Securities Laws"). The Subscriber agrees to hold the Company,
Dyadic and their respective directors, officers and controlling persons and
their respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns harmless and to
indemnify them against all liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by them as a
result of any misrepresentation made by him contained herein or in the Investor
Questionnaire or any sale or distribution by the undersigned Subscriber in
violation of any Securities Laws.
2.9 The Subscriber consents to the placement of one or more legends on any
certificate or other document evidencing his Units and the Common Stock or
Warrants included in the Units or issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants
stating that they have not been registered under the Act and setting forth or
referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale thereof.
2.10 The Subscriber understands that the Company and Dyadic will review
this Subscription Agreement and the Investor Questionnaire and is hereby given
authority by the undersigned to call his bank or place of employment or
otherwise review the financial standing of the Subscriber; and it is further
agreed that the Company and Dyadic reserve the unrestricted right to reject or
limit any subscription and to close the offer at any time.
2.11 The Subscriber hereby represents that the address of Subscriber
furnished by him at the end of this Subscription Agreement and in the Investor
Questionnaire is the undersigned's principal residence if he is an individual or
its principal business address if it is a corporation or other entity.
2.12 The Subscriber acknowledges that if the Subscriber is a Registered
Representative of a National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD")
member firm, he must give such firm the notice required by the NASD Conduct
Rules, or any applicable successor rules of the NASD, receipt of which must be
acknowledged by such firm on the signature page hereof. The Subscriber shall
also notify the Company if the Subscriber or any affiliate of Subscriber is a
registered broker-dealer with the SEC, in which case the Subscriber represents
that the Subscriber is purchasing the Units in the ordinary course of business
and, at the time of purchase of the Units, has no agreements or understandings,
directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Units or any portion
thereof.
2.13 The Subscriber hereby represents that, except as set forth in the
Offering Documents, no representations or warranties have been made to the
Subscriber by either the Company or Dyadic or their agents, employees or
affiliates and in entering into this transaction, the Subscriber is not relying
on any information, other than that contained in the Offering Documents and the
results of independent investigation by the Subscriber.
2.14 The Subscriber agrees that he will purchase securities in the
Offering only if his intent at such time is to make such purchase for investment
purposes and not with a view toward resale.
4
2.15 If the undersigned Subscriber is a partnership, corporation, trust or
other entity, such partnership, corporation, trust or other entity further
represents and warrants that: (i) it was not formed for the purpose of investing
in the Company; (ii) it is authorized and otherwise duly qualified to purchase
and hold the Units; and (iii) that this Subscription Agreement has been duly and
validly authorized, executed and delivered and constitutes the legal, binding
and enforceable obligation of the undersigned.
2.16 If the Subscriber is not a United States person, such Subscriber
hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the
laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the
Units or any use of this Subscription Agreement, including (i) the legal
requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Units, (ii) any
foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any
governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income
tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase,
holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Units. Such Subscriber's
subscription and payment for, and his or her continued beneficial ownership of
the Units and of the shares of Common Stock included therein or issuable upon
the exercise of the Warrants, will not violate any applicable securities or
other laws of the Subscriber's jurisdiction.
2.17 The undersigned hereby covenants and agrees that it will not have an
open position (e.g., short sale) in the Common Stock prior to the Registration
Statement (as defined below) being declared effective by the SEC with the intent
of covering such open position with Common Stock being registered in the
Registration Statement. The undersigned hereby acknowledges and understands that
the SEC has taken the position that such an open position would constitute a
violation of Section 5 of the Act.
2.18 The Subscriber acknowledges that (i) the Offering Memorandum contains
material, non-public information concerning the Company within the meaning of
Regulation FD promulgated by the SEC, and (ii) the Subscriber is obtaining such
material, non-public information solely for the purpose of considering whether
to purchase the Units pursuant to a private placement that is exempt from
registration under the Act. In accordance with Regulation FD, the Subscriber
agrees to keep such information confidential and not to disclose it to any other
person or entity except the Subscriber's legal counsel, other advisors and other
representatives who have agreed (i) to keep such information confidential, (ii)
to use such information only for the purpose set forth above, and (iii) to
comply with applicable securities laws with respect to such information. In
addition, the Subscriber further acknowledges that the Subscriber and such legal
counsel, other advisors and other representatives are prohibited from trading in
the Company's securities while in possession of material, non-public information
and agrees to refrain from purchasing or selling securities of the Company until
such material, non-public information has been publicly disseminated by the
Company. The Subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and
its officers, directors, employees and affiliates
5
and each other person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing, against any
loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not
limited to, any and all expenses whatsoever reasonably incurred in
investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation commenced or
threatened or any claim whatsoever) arising out of or based upon any false
representation or warranty by the Subscriber, or the Subscriber's breach of, or
failure to comply with, any covenant or agreement made by the Subscriber herein
or in any other document furnished by the Subscriber to the Company or its
officers, directors, employees or affiliates or each other person, if any, who
controls any of the foregoing in connection with this transaction.
2.19 The Subscriber understands and acknowledges that (i) the Units are
being offered and sold to Subscriber without registration under the Act in a
private placement that is exempt from the registration provisions of the Act
under Section 4(2) of the Act and (ii) the availability of such exemption
depends in part on, and that the Company will rely upon the accuracy and
truthfulness of, the foregoing representations, and such Subscriber hereby
consents to such reliance.
3. Representations by the Company and Dyadic
Except as set forth in the reports filed by the Company pursuant to
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "SEC Reports"), each of the
Company and, as applicable, Dyadic severally represent and warrant to the
Subscriber that:
3.1 Organization and Authority. The Company and Dyadic, and each of their
respective subsidiaries, (i) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation,
(ii) has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate
its properties and to carry on its business as presently conducted, and (iii)
has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform
their obligations under this Subscription Agreement and the Offering Documents
being executed and delivered by it in connection herewith, and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
3.2 Qualifications. The Company and Dyadic, and each of their respective
subsidiaries, is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is
in good standing in all jurisdictions where such qualification is necessary and
where failure so to qualify could have a material adverse effect on the
business, properties, operations, condition (financial or other), results of
operations or prospects of the Company and Dyadic, and each of their respective
subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
3.3 Capitalization of the Company. The capitalization of the Company as of
June 30, 2004, is as described in the Company's Form 10-QSB for the six months
ended June 30, 2004. The Company has not issued any capital stock since such
date other than pursuant to the conversion or exercise of outstanding common
stock equivalents or as contemplated by the Merger Agreement. No person has any
right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar
right to participate in the transactions contemplated by the Offering Documents.
Except as a result of the purchase and sale of the Units, as contemplated in the
Merger Agreement or as disclosed in the SEC Reports, 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
6
any right to subscribe for or acquire from the Company, any shares of Common
Stock, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the
Company or any subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional shares of
Common Stock, or securities or rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of
Common Stock. The issuance and sale of the Units will not obligate the Company
to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any person (other than
the Subscribers) 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. The outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have
been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable.
None of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or options, warrants, or rights
or other securities entitling the holders to acquire Common Stock has been
issued in violation of the preemptive rights of any security holder of the
Company. No holder of any of the Company's securities has any rights, "demand,"
"piggy-back" or otherwise, to have such securities registered by reason of the
intention to file, filing or effectiveness of the Registration Statement (as
defined below). The Common Stock and the Warrants to be issued to the Subscriber
have been duly authorized, and when issued and paid for in accordance with this
Subscription Agreement, the Common Stock will be duly and validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable, and the Warrant Shares, when issued upon exercise of
the Warrants in exchange for the payment in full of the exercise price for such
Warrant Share therein specified, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable. The Common Stock is eligible for quotation on the NASD OTC
Bulletin Board, the Company and the Common Stock meet the criteria for continued
quotation and trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, and no suspension of trading in
the Common Stock is in effect.
3.4 Corporate Authorization. The Offering Documents have been duly and
validly authorized by the Company and Dyadic. This Subscription Agreement,
assuming due execution and delivery by the Subscriber, and the Warrants, when
the Subscription Agreement and the Warrants are executed and delivered by the
Company and Dyadic, will be, valid and binding obligations of the Company and
Dyadic enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as the
enforceability hereof and thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect
relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally and general principles of
equity, regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law.
3.5 Non-Contravention. The execution and delivery of the Offering
Documents by the Company and Dyadic, the issuance of the Units as contemplated
by the Offering Documents and the completion by the Company and Dyadic of the
other transactions contemplated by the Offering Documents do not and will not,
with or without the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, (i) result
in any violation of any provision of the articles of incorporation or by-laws or
similar instruments of the Company or Dyadic or their respective subsidiaries,
(ii) conflict with or result in a breach by the Company or Dyadic or their
respective subsidiaries of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a
default under, or result in the modification of, or result in the creation or
imposition of any lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance upon any of the
properties or assets of the Company or Dyadic or their respective subsidiaries
pursuant to, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other agreement or
instrument to which Company or Dyadic or any of their respective subsidiaries is
a party or by which Company or Dyadic or any of their respective subsidiaries or
any of their respective properties or assets are bound or affected, in any such
case which would have a material adverse effect on the business, properties,
7
operations, condition (financial or other), results of operations or prospects
of the Company and Dyadic and their respective subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
or the validity or enforceability of, or the ability of the Company or Dyadic to
perform their obligations under, the Offering Documents, (iii) violate or
contravene any applicable law, rule or regulation or any applicable decree,
judgment or order of any court, United States federal or state regulatory body,
administrative agency or other governmental body having jurisdiction over the
Company or Dyadic or any of their respective subsidiaries or any of their
respective properties or assets which would have a material adverse effect on
the business, properties, operations, condition (financial or other), results of
operations or prospects of the Company and Dyadic and their respective
subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the validity or enforceability of, or the
ability of the Company or Dyadic to perform its obligations under, the Offering
Documents, or (iv) have any material adverse effect on any permit,
certification, registration, approval, consent, license or franchise necessary
for the Company or Dyadic or their respective subsidiaries to own or lease and
operate any of its properties and to conduct any of its business or the ability
of the Company or Dyadic or any of their respective subsidiaries to make use
thereof.
3.6 Information Provided. The Company hereby represents and warrants to
the Subscriber that the Offering Memorandum, the SEC Reports and any other
information provided by or on behalf of the Company to the Subscriber in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement,
does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of
the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, it being understood
that for purposes of this Section 3.6, any statement contained in such
information shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this
Section 3.6 to the extent that a statement in any document included in such
information which was prepared and furnished to the Subscriber on a later date
or filed with the SEC on a later date modifies or replaces such statement,
whether or not such later prepared and furnished or filed statement so states.
Dyadic hereby represents and warrants to the Subscriber that the Offering
Memorandum and any other information provided by or on behalf of Dyadic to the
Subscriber in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Subscription
Agreement, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.
3.7 Absence of Certain Proceedings. Except as disclosed in the SEC
Reports, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before
or by any court, public board or body, or governmental agency pending or, to the
knowledge of the Company or Dyadic, threatened against or affecting the Company
or Dyadic or any of their respective subsidiaries, in any such case wherein an
unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would have a material adverse effect on
the business, properties, operations, condition (financial or other), results of
operations or prospects of the Company or Dyadic, or the transactions
contemplated by the Offering Documents or which could adversely affect the
validity or enforceability of, or the authority or ability of the Company or
Dyadic to perform its obligations under, the Offering Documents; and to the best
of the Company's and Dyadic's knowledge there is not pending or contemplated
any, and there has been no, investigation by the SEC involving the Company or
Dyadic or any of their current or former directors or officers.
8
3.8 Compliance with Law. Neither the Company nor Dyadic nor any of their
respective subsidiaries is in violation of or has any liability under any
statute, law, rule, regulation, ordinance, decision or order of any governmental
agency or body or any court, domestic or foreign, except where such violation or
liability would not individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse
effect on the business, properties, operations, condition (financial or other),
results of operations or prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as
a whole; and to the knowledge of the Company and Dyadic there is no pending
investigation which would reasonably be expected to lead to such a claim.
3.9 Tax Matters. The Company and Dyadic and each of their respective
subsidiaries has filed all federal, state and local income and franchise tax
returns required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown by such returns to be
due, and no tax deficiency has been determined adversely to the Company or
Dyadic or any of their respective subsidiaries which has had (nor does the
Company or Dyadic or any of their respective subsidiaries have any knowledge of
any tax deficiency which, if determined adversely to the Company or Dyadic or
any of their respective subsidiaries, might have) a material adverse effect on
the business, properties, operations, condition (financial or other), results of
operations, or prospects of the Company or Dyadic or any of their respective
subsidiaries and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
4. Registration Rights
4.1 Registration Requirement. The Company shall file a registration
statement on Form SB-2 or other appropriate registration document under the Act
(the "Registration Statement") for resale of the Common Stock and the Warrant
Shares (the "Registrable Securities") and shall use its reasonable best efforts
to maintain the Registration Statement effective, at the Company's expense, for
a period expiring on the later to occur of (i) twenty-four (24) months after it
is declared effective by the SEC and (ii) twelve (12) months after the full
exercise or expiration of the Warrants held by the Subscriber (the
"Effectiveness Period"). The Company shall file such Registration Statement no
later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, and shall use reasonable best
efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective within one
hundred and fifty (150) days after the Closing Date. Failure to file timely the
Registration Statement or obtain its effectiveness within 150 days of the
Closing Date shall require the Company to make a cash payment, as liquidated
damages, to the Subscriber of 0.0333% of the Purchase Price of the Units sold to
the Subscriber under this Subscription Agreement for each day of such failure.
Prior to the date the Registration Statement is declared effective, the Company
shall not file with the SEC any other new registration statement under the Act,
other than a Form S-8 registration statement, with respect to any securities of
the Company.
4.2 Limitation to Registration Requirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company shall not be obligated to take any action pursuant to this Section
in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute
a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration,
qualification or compliance unless the Company is already subject to service in
such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Act.
9
4.3 Expenses of Registration. Except as otherwise expressly set forth, the
Company shall bear all expenses incurred by the Company in compliance with the
registration obligation of the Company, including, without limitation, all
registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of
counsel for the Company incurred in connection with any registration,
qualification or compliance pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and all
underwriting discounts, selling commissions and expense allowances applicable to
the sale of any securities by the Company for its own account in any
registration. All underwriting discounts, selling commissions and expense
allowances applicable to the sale by Subscriber of Registrable Securities and
all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Subscriber shall be borne by the
Subscriber.
4.4 Indemnification.
(a) To the extent permitted by law the Company will indemnify each
Subscriber, each of its officers, directors, agents, employees and partners, and
each person controlling such Subscriber, with respect to each registration,
qualification or compliance effected pursuant to this Agreement, and each
underwriter, if any, and each person who controls any underwriter, and their
respective counsel against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or
actions, proceedings or settlements in respect thereof) arising out of or based
on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact
contained in any prospectus, offering circular or other document prepared by the
Company (including any related registration statement, notification or the like)
incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any
omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or
any violation by the Company of the Act or any rule or regulation thereunder
applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the
Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance,
and will reimburse each such Subscriber, each of its officers, directors,
agents, employees and partners, and each person controlling such Subscriber,
each such underwriter and each person who controls any such underwriter, for any
legal and any other expenses as they are reasonably incurred in connection with
investigating and defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action,
provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that
any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on
any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged
omissions) based upon written information furnished to the Company by such
Subscriber or underwriter; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement
contained in this subsection shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of
any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected
without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is
based upon a violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such
registration by such Subscriber, partner, officer, director, employee, agent,
underwriter or controlling person of such Subscriber, provided, however, that
the obligations of the Company hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to
the portion of net proceeds represented by the Registrable Securities pursuant
to this Subscription Agreement.
10
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each Subscriber whose
Registrable Securities are included in any registration, qualification or
compliance effected pursuant to this Subscription Agreement will indemnify the
Company, and its directors, officers, agents, employees and each underwriter, if
any, of the Company's securities covered by such a registration statement, each
person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of the
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, each other such Subscriber and
each of their officers, directors, partners, agents and employees, and each
person controlling such Subscriber, and their respective counsel against all
claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising
out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a
material fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering
circular or other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and such
Subscribers, directors, officers, partners, persons, underwriters or control
persons for any legal or any other expenses as they are reasonably incurred in
connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage,
liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that
such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged
omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular
or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by such Subscriber; provided, however, that the
obligations of any Subscriber hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to
the net proceeds to such Subscriber from Registrable Securities sold under such
registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document as
contemplated herein; provided, further, that the indemnity agreement contained
in this subsection shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without
the consent of the Subscriber, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed.
(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section (the
"Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to provide
indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified Party
has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall
permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any
litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying
Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting
therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not
unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such
defense at such party's expense; and provided further that if any Indemnified
Party reasonably concludes that there may be one or more legal defenses
available to it that are not available to the Indemnifying Party, or that such
claim or litigation involves or could have an effect on matters beyond the scope
of this Agreement, then the Indemnified Party may retain its own counsel at the
expense of the Indemnifying Party; and provided further that the failure of any
Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement unless and only to
the extent that such failure to give notice results in material prejudice to the
Indemnifying Party. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or
litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to
entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or
litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding
itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request
in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of
such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.
11
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section is held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with
respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein,
then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party
hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified
Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying
Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection
with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, liability, claim,
damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified
Party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
4.5 Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights. The benefits to the
Subscriber hereunder may be transferred or assigned by the Subscriber to a
permitted transferee or assignee of any of the Registrable Securities, provided
that the Company is given written notice that such right has been transferred,
stating the name and address of said transferee or assignee and identifying the
securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred
or assigned; provided further that the transferee or assignee of such rights
shall be deemed to have assumed the obligations of the Subscriber under this
Subscription Agreement by the acceptance of such assignment and shall, upon
request from the Company, evidence such assumption by delivery to the Company of
a written agreement assuming such obligations of the Subscriber.
4.6 Registration Procedures. In the case of the registration effected by
the Company pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Company will keep the
Subscriber advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration and as
to the completion thereof. The Company will:
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to
such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such
registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the
Act with respect to the disposition of securities covered by such registration
statement;
(b) Respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments
received from the SEC with respect to a registration statement or any amendment
thereto.
(c) Notify the Subscriber as promptly as reasonably practicable and
(if requested by any such person) confirm such notice in writing no later than
one trading day following the day (A) when a prospectus or any prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment to a registration statement is proposed
to be filed and (B) with respect to a registration statement or any
post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective;
(d) Furnish such number of prospectuses and other documents incident
thereto, including supplements and amendments, as the Subscriber may reasonably
request;
(e) Furnish to the Subscriber, upon request, a copy of all documents
filed with and all correspondence from or to the SEC in connection with any such
registration statement other than non-substantive cover letters and the like, to
the extent such items do not constitute material, non-public information;
12
(f) Use its reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if
issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of a
registration statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or
exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in
any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment; and
(g) Use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable
rules and regulations of the SEC.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time or from time to time after the
date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Company notifies the
Subscriber in writing of the existence of an event or circumstance that is not
disclosed in the Registration Statement and that may have a material effect on
the Company or its business (a "Potential Material Event"), the Subscriber shall
not offer or sell any Registrable Securities, or engage in any other transaction
involving or relating to the Registrable Securities, from the time of the giving
of notice with respect to a Potential Material Event until the Company notifies
the Subscriber that such Potential Material Event either has been added to the
Registration Statement by amendment or supplement or no longer constitutes a
Potential Material Event; provided, that the Company may not so suspend the
right of Subscriber for more than 120 days in the aggregate.
4.7 Statement of Beneficial Ownership. The Company may require the
Subscriber to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to the number of
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Subscriber and the controlling
person thereof and any other such information regarding the Subscriber, the
Registrable Securities held by the Subscriber and the intended method of
disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably required with respect to
the registration of the Subscriber's Registrable Securities. The Subscriber
hereby understands and agrees that the Company may, in its sole discretion,
exclude the Subscriber's shares of Common Stock (including such shares into
which the Warrants are exercisable) from the Registration Statement in the event
that the Subscriber fails to provide such information within ten (10) trading
days of the request therefor by the Company.
4.8 Compliance. Subscriber covenants and agrees that such Subscriber will
comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Act as applicable to
such Subscriber in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to
the registration statement required hereunder.
4.9 Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time during the Effectiveness
Period there is not an effective registration statement covering all of the
Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with
the SEC a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or
the account of others under the Act of any of its Common Stock, other than an
offering of securities issued pursuant to a Strategic Issuance (as defined
below) and other than a Form S-4 or Form S-8 registration statement (each as
promulgated under the Act or their then equivalents relating to equity
securities to be issued solely in connection with any business combination
transaction, acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable
in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans), then the
Company shall send to the Subscriber (together with any other holders of its
Common Stock or Warrants possessing "piggyback registration rights" comparable
to those granted to the Subscriber hereunder ("Rightsholders")) written notice
of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such
notice, the Subscriber shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in
13
such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such
Subscriber requests to be registered; provided, that, the Company shall not be
required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section that
are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Act. In
order to effectuate these piggyback rights, in no event shall the Company be
required by these provisions to keep up to date or to supplement any prospectus
more than nine (9) months after the effective date of the registration statement
of which such prospectus is a part. If the registration statement is being filed
for an underwritten public offering, the Subscriber must timely execute and
deliver the usual and customary agreement among the Company, such Subscriber and
the underwriters relating to the registration; If the registration statement is
being filed for an underwritten offer and sale by the Company of securities for
its own account and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that
in their opinion the offering contemplated by the registration statement cannot
be successfully completed if the Company were to also register the Registrable
Shares of the Subscriber requested to be included in such registration
statement, then the Company will include in the registration: (i) first, any
securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, any securities of any
person who se securities are being registered as a result of the exercise of a
demand registration right, and (iii) third, that portion of the aggregate number
of shares being requested for inclusion in the registration statement by (X) the
Subscriber and (Y) all other Rightsholders, which in the opinion of such
managing underwriters can successfully be sold, such number of shares to be
taken pro rata from the Rightsholders on the basis of the total number of shares
being requested for inclusion in the registration statement by each
Rightsholder. "Strategic Issuance" shall mean an issuance of securities: (i) in
connection with a "corporate partnering" transaction or a "strategic alliance"
(as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith); (ii) in
connection with any financing transaction in respect of which the Company is a
borrower; or (iii) to a vendor, lender, or customer of the Company, or a
research, manufacturing or other commercial collaborator of the Company, in a
transaction approved by the Board of Directors, provided in any case, that such
issuance is not being made primarily for the purpose of avoiding compliance with
this Subscription Agreement.

5.3 This Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and to their respective heirs, legal

the entire agreement and understanding between the parties as to the subject
matter hereof and merges and supersedes all prior discussions, agreements and
understandings of any and every nature among them.
5.4 Notwithstanding the place where this Subscription Agreement may be
executed by any of the parties hereto, the parties expressly agree that all the
terms and provisions hereof shall be construed in accordance with and governed
by the laws of the State of Delaware.
5.5 This Subscription Agreement may be executed in counterparts. It shall
not be binding upon the Company and Dyadic unless and until it is accepted by

Subscription Agreement.

registration statement under the Act that may be filed by the Company pursuant
to the requirements of this Subscription Agreement.
5.10 The obligation of the Subscriber hereunder is several and not joint
with the obligations of any other subscribers for the purchase of Units in the
Offering (the "Other Subscribers"), and the Subscriber shall not be responsible
in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Subscribers.
Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at the
Closing, and no action taken by the Subscriber pursuant hereto, shall be deemed
to constitute the Subscriber and the Other Subscribers as a partnership, an
association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a
presumption that the Subscriber and the Other Subscribers are in any way acting
in concert with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by
this Subscription Agreement. The Subscriber shall be entitled to protect and
enforce the Subscriber's rights, including without limitation the rights arising
out of this Subscription Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any Other
Subscriber to be joined
15
as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The language used in
this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to
express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied
against any party. The Subscriber is not acting as part of a "group" (as that
term is used in Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act) in negotiating and entering into
this Subscription Agreement or purchasing the Units or acquiring, disposing of
or voting any of the underlying shares of Common Stock or the Warrant Shares.
The Company hereby confirms that it understands and agrees that the Subscriber
is not acting as part of any such group.

Re: Lock-Up of Shares of Common Stock
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned is delivering this letter agreement (this "letter
agreement") to you in connection with and as a condition to (i) the closing of
the private placement conducted by CCP Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), of "Investment Units" (the "Private Placement") consisting of
shares of common stock of the Company (the "Common Stock") and warrants to
purchase shares of the Common Stock ("Investor Warrants"), and (ii) the
consummation of a reverse triangular merger between Dyadic International, Inc.,
a Florida corporation ("Dyadic"), and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
pursuant to which Dyadic will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
and Dyadic's shareholders will become the owners of shares of Common Stock (the
"Merger") (the Private Placement and the Merger being hereinafter collectively
referred to as the "Transactions"). Following the consummation of the
Transactions, the Company will be renamed "Dyadic International, Inc."
The undersigned is currently the holder of outstanding shares of common
stock of Dyadic ("Dyadic Shares") that will be exchanged for shares of Common
Stock as a result of the Merger. In connection with the Transactions, the
Company has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts file a Form SB-2
Registration Statement (the "Registration Statement") with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") in order to register the resale of the shares of
Common Stock sold in the Private Placement and certain of the shares of Common
Stock received by existing Dyadic stockholders, including the undersigned, as a
result of the Merger. The Company expects that the SEC will declare the
Registration Statement effective on a date (the "Effective Date") that is no
later than six (6) months following the consummation of the Merger (the "Outside
Date"). As a condition to the consummation of the Merger, the Company and Dyadic
have required, and as a condition to participating in the Private Placement, the
placement agents, Brean Murray & Co., Inc. ("BMCI") and Sanders Morris Harris
Inc. ("SMH"), have required, that certain existing holders of Dyadic Shares,
including the undersigned, enter into lock up agreements with the Company by
which they agree not to transfer the shares of Common Stock that they receive in
the Merger for a specified period following consummation of the Transactions.
