AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made this 4th day of March, 2009, by and between Inhibiton Therapeutics, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Inhibiton”), HPI Partners, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“HPIP”), and the security holders of HPIP (the “HPIP Security Holders”) who are listed on Exhibit 1.1 hereto and have executed Subscription Agreements in the form attached in Exhibit 1.2, hereto.
WHEREAS, Inhibiton desires to acquire all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of HPIP (the “HPIP Interests”) from the HPIP Security Holders in exchange for newly issued unregistered shares of common stock of Inhibiton;
WHEREAS, HPIP desires to assist Inhibiton in acquiring all of the HPIP Interests pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, all of the HPIP Security Holders, by execution of Exhibit 1.2 hereto, agree to exchange all of the HPIP Interests they hold as set forth in Exhibit 1.1 hereto, for common shares of Inhibiton as set forth in Article 1 hereto.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and representations contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
Exchange of Securities
1.1 Issuance of Securities. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Inhibiton agrees to issue and exchange its fully paid and non-assessable unregistered shares of Inhibiton’s $.001 par value common stock (the “Inhibiton Shares”) in such amount as is set forth in Paragraph 1.4(a) and (b) below for all HPIP Interests held by the HPIP Security Holders set forth in Exhibit 1.1 hereto. Inhibiton will also issue common stock purchase warrants to HPIP warrant holders as set forth on Exhibit 1.1 hereto, on the basis of one Inhibiton warrant for each HPIP warrant outstanding at the Closing Date, pursuant to Paragraph 1.5 below. All Inhibiton securities will be issued directly to the HPIP Security Holders on the date the transaction contemplated by this Agreement closes (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the schedule set forth in Exhibit 1.1.
1.2 Exemption from Registration. The parties hereto intend that all Inhibiton securities to be issued to the HPIP Security Holders shall be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), pursuant to Section 4(2) and/or Regulation D of the Act and rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In furtherance thereof, each of the HPIP Security Holders will execute and deliver to Inhibiton on the Closing Date a copy of the Subscription Agreement set forth in Exhibit 1.2 hereto.
1.3 Private Placement. Following the Closing Date, Inhibiton may issue additional shares of its common stock to complete the private placement of HPIP Interests as described in Paragraph 1.4(c) below.
1.4 Computation of Inhibiton Shares Issuable to HPIP Security Holders. At the Closing Date all of the HPIP Interests outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date shall be acquired by Inhibiton in exchange for the greater of:
(a) that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Inhibiton common stock equal to (i) $12,000,000, divided by (ii) the average of the prior 20 trading day closing prices of the Inhibiton Common Stock immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement, the quotient of which shall be distributed pro rata by the total dollar amount of HPIP Interests outstanding as of the Closing Date of $2,000,000, provided, however, that in no case shall the number of shares to be issued be less than 80,000,000; or
(b) that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Inhibiton common stock equal to 85% of the total number of shares of Inhibiton common stock outstanding immediately following the Closing Date of this Agreement.
(c) HPIP has commenced a private placement of HPIP Interests that includes an over-allotment provision allowing for the sale of up to $300,000 of HPIP Interests over and above the $2,000,000 of HPIP Interests for up to 90 days following the Closing Date. Accordingly, immediately following the Closing Date, Inhibiton shall commence a 90-day private placement of Inhibiton common stock to be offered solely to the Members of HPIP at a per share price equal to and in accordance with the terms of Paragraph 1.4(a) above.
(d) Should there be more than $2,000,000 of HPIP Interests outstanding at the Closing Date, the number of shares of Inhibiton common stock issued under either (a) or (b) above shall be increased on a proportional basis based on the percentage increase in HPIP Interests over $2,000,000 (i.e., if there are $2,100,000 of HPIP Interests outstanding, or a 5% increase, then the $12,000,000 in (i) above shall be increased by 5% to $12,600,000).
(e) In addition, HPIP’s total number of shares of Inhibiton issued hereunder shall be increased post Closing Date by the same percentage increase as the increase in the total number of outstanding shares of Inhibiton resulting from Inhibiton’s issuance, between the Closing Date and 90 days following the Closing Date, of all shares it shall issue in exchange for debt due from Inhibiton to third party debt holders.
1.5 Computation of Inhibiton Warrants Issuable To HPIP Warrant Holders. Inhibiton agrees to exchange its warrants for all HPIP warrants outstanding as set forth in Exhibit 1.1 hereto, on the basis of one Inhibiton warrant for each HPIP warrant, at an exercise price of $0.12 per share and exercisable until March 4, 2012
1.6 Promissory Note. HPIP shall pay to Inhibiton $200,000 on the Closing Date evidenced by a promissory note in such amount bearing interest at 5% per annum and due and payable by HPIP on or before March 4, 2014.
