The Member is the record and beneficial owner, and has good and marketable title to its Membership Interest being exchanged by such Member pursuant to this Agreement, with the right and authority to sell and deliver such Membership Interest to Parent as provided herein. Upon registering of the Parent as the new owner of such Membership Interest in the register of the Company, the Parent will receive good title to such Membership Interest, free and clear of all Liens.

The obligations of the Member under this Agreement constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Member, enforceable against such Member in accordance with the terms hereof.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Member and the performance by the Member of his obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof: (i) will not require the consent of any Governmental Entity under any Laws; (ii) will not violate any Laws applicable to such Member; and (iii) will not violate or breach any contractual obligation to which such Member is a party.

2.5         Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Parent Preferred Stock proposed to be acquired by the Member or its designee(s) hereunder will be acquired for investment for its or its designee(s) own account, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and the Member has no present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the Parent Preferred Stock or any other securities of the Parent into which the Parent Preferred Stock are or may be convertible, exercisable or exchangeable (collectively with the Parent Preferred Stock, the “Parent Securities”), except in compliance with applicable securities laws.

 

 

 

 

2.6         Available Information. The Member, and its designee(s) as the case may be, has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Parent. The Member, and its designee(s) as the case may be, acknowledges that it has had access to the documents filed by Parent under the Exchange Act, since the end of its most recently completed fiscal year to the date hereof, and has carefully reviewed the same. The Member, and its designee(s) as the case may be, further acknowledges that Parent has made available to it the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from Parent’s officers and directors concerning the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the business and financial condition of Parent, and has received to its satisfaction, such information about the business and financial condition of Parent and the terms and conditions of the Agreement as it has requested. The Member, and its designee(s) as the case may be, has carefully considered the potential risks relating to Parent and investing in the Exchange Consideration, and fully understands that such securities are speculative investments, which involve a high degree of risk of loss of the Company and its Members’ entire investment. Among others, the Member, and its designee(s) as the case may be, has carefully considered each of the risks identified under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Parent SEC Documents, which are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Company and the Parent in Articles 3 and 4 of this Agreement, respectively, or the right of the Member to rely thereon.

 

2.7         Non-Registration. The Member understands that, and that its designee(s) must understand that, the Parent Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and, if issued in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, will be issued by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Member’s representations as expressed herein. The non-registration shall have no prejudice with respect to any rights, interests, benefits and entitlements attached to the Parent Securities in accordance with the Parent charter documents or the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation.

 

2.8         Restricted Securities. The Member understands, and that its designee(s) must understand that, that the Parent Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act inasmuch as this Agreement contemplates that, if acquired by the Member pursuant hereto, the Parent Securities would be acquired in a transaction not involving a public offering. The Member further acknowledges that if the Parent Securities are issued to the Member in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, such Parent Securities may not be resold without registration under the Securities Act or the existence of an exemption therefrom.

 

2.9         Legends. The Member understands that, and that its designee(s) must understand that, the Parent Securities will bear the following legend or another legend that is similar to the following:

 

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

 

and any legend required by the “blue sky” laws of any state to the extent such laws are applicable to the securities represented by the certificate so legended.

The Member also acknowledges that the Parent will rely on the information contained in the Member Representation Letter in assessing the suitability of such Member for the Exchange in compliance with applicable state and federal law.

 

 

 

 

2.12       Acknowledgement of Inability to Convert Parent Preferred Shares and Current Capitalization. The Member represents, acknowledges, and confirms its understanding that, and that its designee(s) must understand that, due to the Parent’s current number of authorized common stock and its issued and outstanding shares of common stock or reservation for future issuances of common stock, the Company does not have enough authorized but unissued common stock to issue any shares of its common stock upon conversion of the Parent Preferred Shares and that the Parent Preferred Shares may not be able to convert into shares of the Parent’s common stock upon initial receipt or ever, unless the Company is able to get the proper authorization to initiate the corporate actions that would enable it to issue such shares. The Member further represents, acknowledges and confirms its understanding, and that its designee(s) must have an understanding, of and ramifications of the Parent’s current capitalization, as set forth on Schedule 4.3, and the anticipated capitalization of the Parent after the Exchange and that the Member and the Member’s designee accepts the Exchange Consideration acknowledging that the Parent Preferred Shares may not be able to convert into shares of the Parent’s common stock upon initial receipt or ever.

Parent and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the ownership or leasing of its properties makes such qualification or licensing necessary, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or licensed (individually or in the aggregate) would not have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Parent. Parent has taken all steps required to qualify shares of common stock of Parent, par value $0.002 (“Parent Common Stock”), to become quoted on the OTC PINK under the corporate name and symbol described in Section 8.3(i), including filing of Form 211, establishment of DTC eligibility and submission of all materials required by the OTC Markets Group for such quotation. If the Parent has no Subsidiaries, all other references to the Subsidiaries or any of them in this Agreement, shall be disregarded.

This Agreement has been duly executed and when delivered by Parent, shall constitute a valid and binding obligation of Parent, enforceable against Parent in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity. The execution and delivery of this Agreement does not, and the consummation of the Transactions and compliance with the provisions hereof will not, conflict with, or result in any breach or violation of, or Default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of or “put” right with respect to any obligation or to loss of a material benefit under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or Assets of Parent under, (i) the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, or other charter documents of Parent, (ii) any loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement, instrument, Permit, concession, franchise or license applicable to Parent, its properties or Assets, or (iii) subject to the governmental filings and other matters referred to in the following sentence, any judgment, Order, decree, statute, Law, ordinance, rule, regulation or arbitration award applicable to Parent, its properties or Assets, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), any such conflicts, breaches, violations, Defaults, rights, losses or Liens that individually or in the aggregate could not have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Parent or could not prevent, hinder or materially delay the ability of Parent to consummate the Transactions.

Except as set forth in the Parent SEC Documents, at the date of the most recent financial statements of Parent included in the Parent SEC Documents, Parent has not incurred any liabilities or monetary obligations of any nature (whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise), which, individually, or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Parent.

(a)         There is no suit, action or proceeding or investigation pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened against or affecting Parent or any basis for any such suit, action, proceeding or investigation that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Parent or prevent, hinder or materially delay the ability of Parent to consummate the Transactions, nor is there any judgment, decree, injunction, rule or Order of any Governmental Entity or arbitrator outstanding against Parent having, or which, insofar as reasonably could be foreseen by Parent, in the future could have, any such effect.

4.11.      Tax Returns and Tax Payments.

 

(a)         Parent and each of its Subsidiaries has timely filed with the appropriate taxing authorities all Tax Returns required to be filed by it (taking into account all applicable extensions). All such Tax Returns are true, correct and complete in all respects. All Taxes due and owing by Parent and each of its Subsidiaries has been paid (whether or not shown on any Tax Return and whether or not any Tax Return was required). Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is currently the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return or pay any Tax. No claim has ever been made in writing or otherwise addressed to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries by a taxing authority in a jurisdiction where Parent does not file Tax Returns that it is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. The unpaid Taxes of Parent did not, as of the Parent Balance Sheet Date, exceed the reserve for Tax liability (excluding any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the face of the financial statements (rather than in any notes thereto). Since the Parent Balance Sheet Date, Parent has not incurred any liability for Taxes outside the ordinary course of business consistent with past custom and practice. As of the Closing Date, the unpaid Taxes of Parent and its Subsidiaries will not exceed the reserve for Tax liability (excluding any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the books and records of Parent.

 

(b)         No material claim for unpaid Taxes has been made or become a Lien against the property of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or is being asserted against Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, no audit of any Tax Return of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is being conducted by a tax authority, and no extension of the statute of limitations on the assessment of any Taxes has been granted by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries and is currently in effect. Parent has withheld and paid all Taxes required to have been withheld and paid in connection with amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, stockholder or other third party.

 

4.12.      Environmental Matters. Parent and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all requisite Environmental Laws in all material respects. Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice regarding any violation of any Environmental Laws, including any investigatory, remedial or corrective obligations, which, if determined adversely to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Parent and each its Subsidiaries holds all Permits and authorizations required under applicable Environmental Laws, unless the failure to hold such Permits and authorizations would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Parent, and is compliance with all terms, conditions and provisions of all such Permits and authorizations in all material respects. No releases of Hazardous Materials have occurred at, from, in, to, on or under any real property currently or formerly owned, operated or leased by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any predecessor thereof and no Hazardous Materials are present in, on, about or migrating to or from any such property which could result in any liability to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries. Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has transported or arranged for the treatment, storage, handling, disposal, or transportation of any Hazardous Material to any off-site location which could result in any liability to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries. Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has any liability, absolute or contingent, under any Environmental Law that if enforced or collected would have a Material Adverse Effect on Parent or any of its Subsidiaries. There are no past, pending or threatened claims under Environmental Laws against Parent or any of its Subsidiaries and neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is aware of any facts or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to result in a liability or claim against Parent or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to Environmental Laws.

 

4.13.      Material Contract Defaults. The Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Parent for the year ended December 31, 2015 lists the Parent’s Material Contracts. Parent is not, or has not received any notice or has any Knowledge that any other party is, in Material Contract Default under any Parent Material Contract; and there has not occurred any event that with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute such a Material Contract Default. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Parent Material Contract” means any Contract that is effective as of the Closing Date to which the Parent is a party (i) with expected receipts or expenditures in excess of $5,000, (ii) requiring the Parent to indemnify any person, (iii) granting exclusive rights to any party, (iv) evidencing indebtedness for borrowed or loaned money in excess of $5,000, including guarantees of such indebtedness, or under which a security interest has been imposed on any of its Assets, tangible or intangible; (v) any agreement (or group of related agreements) for the lease of real or personal property, including capital leases; (vi) any licensing agreement, or any agreement forming a partnership, strategic alliances, profit sharing or joint venture; (vii) any profit sharing, deferred compensation, severance, or other material plan or arrangement for the benefit of its current or former officers, directors and managers or any of the Parent’s employees; (viii) any employment or independent contractor agreement providing post-termination or severance payments or benefits or that cannot be cancelled without more than thirty (30) days’ notice; (ix) any agreement with any current or former officer, director, shareholder, members, manager or affiliate of the Parent; (x) any agreements relating to the acquisition (by merger, purchase of units or assets or otherwise) by the Parent of any operating business or material assets or the capital stock of any other person; (xi) any agreements for the sale of any of the Assets of the Parent, other than in the ordinary course of business; (xii) any outstanding agreements of guaranty, surety or indemnification, direct or indirect, by the Parent; (xiii) any royalty agreements, licenses or other agreements relating to Intellectual Property (excluding licenses pertaining to “off-the-shelf” commercially available software used pursuant to shrink-wrap or click-through license agreements on reasonable terms for a license fee of no more than $5,000); and (xiv) any other agreement under which the consequences of a default or termination could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Parent.

 

 

 

 

4.14.      Accounts Receivable. All of the accounts receivable of Parent that are reflected in the Parent SEC Documents or the accounting records of Parent as of the Closing (collectively, the “Parent Accounts Receivable”) represent or will represent valid obligations arising from sales actually made or services actually performed in the ordinary course of business and are not subject to any defenses, counterclaims, or rights of set off other than those arising in the ordinary course of business and for which adequate reserves have been established. The Parent Accounts Receivable are fully collectible to the extent not reserved for on the balance sheet on which they are shown.

 

4.15.      Properties. Parent and each its Subsidiaries has valid land use rights for all real property that is material to its business and good, clear and marketable title to all the tangible properties and tangible Assets reflected in the latest balance sheet as being owned by Parent or acquired after the date thereof which are, individually or in the aggregate, material to Parent’s business (except properties sold or otherwise disposed of since the date thereof in the ordinary course of business), free and clear of all Material Liens, encumbrances, claims, security interest, options and restrictions of any nature whatsoever. Any real property and facilities held under lease by Parent or its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases of which Parent and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance, except as could not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

4.16.      Intellectual Property. Parent and each of its Subsidiaries owns or has valid rights to use the Trademarks, trade names, domain names, copyrights, patents, logos, licenses and computer software programs (including, without limitation, the source codes thereto) that are necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted. All of Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ licenses to use Software programs are current and have been paid for the appropriate number of users. To the Knowledge of Parent, none of Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ Intellectual Property infringe upon the rights of any third party that may give rise to a cause of action or claim against Parent or each of its successors.

Except as set forth on Schedule 4.3, the Exchange Consideration has been duly and validly authorized and, upon issuance in accordance with this Agreement, will be duly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free (and not issued or sold in violation) of statutory and contractual preemptive rights, resale rights, rights of first refusal and similar rights, taxes, claims, liens, charges, encumbrances or other restrictions (other than as provided herein and restrictions under federal and applicable state securities laws).

 

4.19.      Undisclosed Liabilities. Other than as disclosed in the Parent SEC Documents, Parent has no liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether fixed or unfixed, secured or unsecured, known or unknown and whether absolute, accrued, contingent, or otherwise).

 

4.20.      Full Disclosure. All of the representations and warranties made by Parent in this Agreement, including the Parent Disclosure Schedules attached hereto, and all statements set forth in the certificates delivered by Parent at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement, are true, correct and complete in all material respects and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make such representations, warranties or statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, misleading.

10.4.      Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other rights. Except as otherwise provided hereunder, all rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

 

10.5.      Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

This Agreement, to the extent delivered by means of a facsimile machine or electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”), shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto, each other party hereto shall re-execute original forms hereof and deliver them in person to all other parties. No party hereto shall raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each such party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense related to lack of authenticity.

The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.

10.15    Remedies.

Each of the parties hereto agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

10.16    Independent Nature of Each Member's Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Member under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Member (or, for the avoidance of doubt, with the obligations of the Company or the Parent under this Agreement), and each Member shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Member party to this Agreement (or, for the avoidance of doubt, the performance of the obligations of the Company or the Parent under this Agreement).

Each Member 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 Member to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

VIA ELECTRONIC MAIL

RE: Series B Convertible Preferred Shares

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This letter confirms the agreement (this “Agreement”) between 3DIcon Corporation, an Oklahoma corporation (the “Company” or “Corporation”), and all holders of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Holders”), whose signatures appear on the signature page herein. Upon execution by all parties hereto, this Agreement will constitute a binding agreement among the parties hereto that may not be amended without such parties’ written consent.

 

Notwithstanding the Certificate of Designation for the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred”), the Parties hereby agree to the following:

 

1.                   Conversion or Redemption. Shares of Series B Preferred shall be subject to the following discretionary and mandatory conversion and redemption provisions:

 

(a)                 Discretionary Conversion. At any time after its issuance the holder of such Series B Preferred, at its option, may convert all or part of its Series B Preferred into One Thousand Nine Hundred Fourteen (1,914) shares of Common Conversion Shares per share of Series B Preferred (a “Discretionary Conversion”).

 

(b)                 Mandatory Conversion Event.

 

(i)                   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the Mandatory Conversion Event, all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred shall, at the option of the Corporation, be converted automatically into such number of shares of Common Stock determined by the same method as a Discretionary Conversion.

 

(ii)                 “Capitalization Adjustment” means any corporate action that has the effect of allowing the Company to issue, on a fully diluted basis, all shares of Common Stock into which all Series B Preferred are convertible.

 

(iii)                “Mandatory Conversion Event” means any time after the occurrence of both (i) a Capitalization Adjustment; and (ii) the closing of a Share Exchange or Merger Transaction.

 

(iv)               “Share Exchange or Merger Transaction” means any transaction for which the Company enters into a share exchange agreement or agreement and plan of merger, which agreement is executed within ninety (90) days after the date hereof and pursuant to which the Company thereafter becomes a consolidated company with another entity, and the Company issues equity securities of the Company, even if such issuance would be deemed a Change of Control.

 

(c)                 Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion of Series B Preferred shall be conducted in the following manner:

 

(i)                   Holder’s Delivery Requirements. To convert Series B Preferred into full shares of securities of the Corporation on any date the shares are available (the “Conversion Date”), the holder thereof shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York time on such date, a copy of a fully executed notice of conversion, to the Corporation(the “Conversion Notice”), and (B) with respect to the final conversion of shares of Series B Preferred held by any holder, such holder shall surrender to a common carrier for delivery to the Corporation as soon as practicable following such Conversion Date but in no event later than six (6) business days after such date the original certificates representing the shares of Series B Preferred being converted (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to such shares in the case of their loss, theft or destruction) (the “Series B Preferred Certificates”). Upon the Conversion Date, the rights of the holder as holder of the shares of Series B Preferred shall cease and the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of securities of the Corporation shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares of such securities represented thereby. The Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of securities issuable upon such conversion unless certificates evidencing such shares of Series B Preferred so converted are either delivered to the Corporation or any such transfer agent.

 

 

 

 

(ii)                 Corporation’s Response. Upon receipt by the Corporation of a facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice, the Corporation shall immediately send, via facsimile, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such holder and the Corporation or its designated transfer agent, as applicable, shall, within three (3) business days following the date of receipt by the Corporation of the executed Conversion Notice, issue and deliver or cause to be delivered a certificate or certificates registered in the name of the holder or its designee, for the number of common shares of securities to which the holder shall be entitled.

 

(iii)                Record Holder. The person or persons entitled to receive the shares of securities of the Corporation issuable upon a conversion of the Series B Preferred shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of securities on the Conversion Date.

 

2.                   Conversion Limitation. The Holders acknowledges that the Series B Preferred Stock is governed by a beneficial ownership blocker whereby each Holder, unless such holder is an officer or director of the Company, is prohibited from effecting a conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and receiving shares of Common Stock upon such conversion, such that the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder and its affiliates after such conversion exceeds 4.99% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company.

 

3.                   Assignment. The rights provided in this Agreement may not be assigned or transferred by the Holders without the Company's written consent; provided that, an Holders that is not an individual may assign or transfer such rights to an affiliate of the Holders without the Company's consent in connection with the transfer of the Note to such affiliate. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or will confer upon any other person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

4.                   Termination.

The confidentiality obligations of the Holders referenced herein will survive any such termination.
