Each of the Stockholders is the record and beneficial owner of the number of shares of Company Stock set forth opposite such Stockholder’s name on Exhibit A. Each of the Stockholders has agreed to transfer all of his, her or its (hereinafter “its”) shares of Company Stock in exchange for the number of newly issued shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Parent (the “Parent Stock”) listed opposite such Stockholder’s name on Exhibit A, which in the aggregate amount to a total of 45,000,000 shares of Parent Stock (the “Shares”).
The exchange of Company Stock for Parent Stock is intended to constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as amended or such other tax free reorganization exemptions that may be available under the Code.
The Board of Directors of the Parent and of the Company has determined that it is desirable to effect this plan of reorganization and share exchange.

No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed by the Company, the Parent and the Stockholders holding a majority of the Shares. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

SECTION 8.03. Replacement of Shares. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Parent shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Parent of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested.

22

The obligations of each Stockholder under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Stockholder, and no Stockholder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Stockholder under this Agreement. The decision of each Stockholder to acquire Shares pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Stockholder independently of any other Stockholder. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Stockholder pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Stockholders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Stockholders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated herein. Each Stockholders acknowledges that no other Stockholder has acted as agent for such Stockholder in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Stockholder will be acting as agent of such Stockholder in connection with monitoring its investment in the Shares or enforcing its rights under this Agreement. Each Stockholder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Stockholder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each of the Company and the Parent acknowledge that each of the Stockholders has been provided with this same Agreement for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Stockholders and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Stockholder.
SECTION 8.06. Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Parent and the Company acknowledge and agree that the liability of a Stockholder arising directly or indirectly, under any transaction document of any and every nature whatsoever shall be satisfied solely out of the assets of such Stockholder, and that no trustee, officer, other investment vehicle or any other affiliate of such Stockholder or any investor, shareholder or holder of shares of beneficial interest of such Stockholder shall be personally liable for any liabilities of such Stockholder.
SECTION 8.07. Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to a Section, such reference shall be to a Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”.
SECTION 8.08. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that Transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
23
SECTION 8.09. Counterparts; Facsimile Execution.
