WHEREAS, Seller owns and operates a technology licensing and government contracting company, including having a License Agreement with the Purchaser and a Phase 1 development contract with the U.S. Army (the “Business”); and

 

WHEREAS, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Purchaser desires to purchase substantially all of the assets of Seller, and Seller desires to sell such assets and have Purchaser assume certain of the liabilities of Seller, in each case relating to the Business; and

 

WHEREAS, the parties intend and desire that this transaction constitutes a business combination and tax-free reorganization under the IRS Code, and shall cooperate to take all such actions necessary to accomplish such treatment.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, Purchaser, Seller and Shareholder hereby agree as follows:

 

A.           Assets Being Sold.  Upon the terms and subject to the Conditions to Closing (as defined in Section 3.4 below), Seller is selling, conveying, assigning and transferring to Purchaser, and Purchaser is purchasing and acquiring from Seller, all of Seller’s right, title to and interest in all of the properties, rights and assets of Seller, wherever situated, of every kind, nature and description, tangible or intangible, constituting part of the Business, whether arising by contract, law or otherwise, except for the Excluded Assets (as hereinafter defined), all as the same shall exist on the Closing Date (such assets being referred to collectively as the “Assets”), including, without limitation, the following:

 

a.           all accounts receivable (“Accounts Receivable”) due in connection with the Business, as specifically listed in Schedule 1.1(a);

 

b.           each contract, agreement, commitment or arrangement of any kind that is specifically set forth on Schedule 1.1(b) hereto (the “Assigned Contracts”); and

 

c.           all lists, mailing lists, documents, information and records (whether in printed form or computer or other electronic media) related, in each case, to past, present and prospective customers of the Business;

 

 

d.           copies of all existing files, accounting records, correspondence, internal reports and contractual documents related to the Business, including databases and records, whether in printed form or electronic media;

 

e.           all intellectual property used in the Business, including, without limitation, all trade names, trademarks, service marks, product names, brand names, slogans and logos (the “Intellectual Property”); and

 

f.           all of the goodwill and going concern value related to the Business.

 

B.           Assumed Liabilities. On the Closing Date, Purchaser agrees to assume, pay, perform and discharge or otherwise satisfy, as applicable, all executory obligations of Seller arising from and after the Closing Date under the Assigned Contracts, except for any obligations in respect of non-performance or breach by Seller of any Assigned Contract, any Excluded Liabilities in Section 1.3, and any items that are to be resolved prior to closing, as listed in Section 3.4 Condition to Closing (the “Assumed Liabilities”).

 

C.            Excluded Liabilities.  Except for the Assumed Liabilities, Purchaser is not assuming any liabilities of Seller of any nature whatsoever, whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise, disclosed or undisclosed, and whether or not relating to the Assets, the Business, or any other business of Seller, including, without limitation those listed on Schedule 1.3 (the “Excluded Liabilities”).

 

 

A.           Purchase Price.  In consideration of the sale, transfer, conveyance and assignment of the Assets by Seller to Purchaser, Purchaser hereby agrees to assume the Assets and Liabilities on the Closing Date and to pay to Seller One Million Five Hundred Thousand (1,500,000) shares of Cyclone common stock.

 

2.2          Claw-Back. Within twelve (12) months of Closing, in the instance that the Army Contract is terminated or revised downward in price by the Army prior to its full completion, a proportion of the 1,500,000 shares shall be subject to a “claw-back” provision. The total amount of the claw back shall equal 75% of the total common shares issued (i.e., 1,125,000 shares), which shall be forfeited pro-rata against the total amount of the Army Contract that has been unbilled as of the date the Closing versus the date of such termination or revision, if any, by the Army.  For example, if the Army Contract is reduced in value by $500,000, or terminated with $500,000 left of unbilled revenue, and the total value of the contact is $1 million at the time of Closing, then 562,500 shares shall be forfeited (50% of 75% of the total shares issued). The share certificates shall contain a special legend allowing the Purchaser to have the right to contact the transfer agent directly, and provide instructions to cancel said shares upon this occurrence.

2.3          Leak-Out. The Shareholder agrees that he shall not sell more than 200,000 shares of the common stock issued to him in connection with this Agreement per month, during the first two years after Closing.

 

 

 

A.           Closing Date.  The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall occur at the office of the Purchaser on or before January 15, 2012 (the “Closing Date”), unless extended by agreement of the parties.

 

B.            Deliveries by Seller and the Company.  At the Closing, Seller and the Shareholder shall execute and deliver to Purchaser the following:

 

g.           a Bill of Sale, Assignment and Assumption in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Bill of Sale”);

 

h.           the Consulting Agreement by and between Purchaser and the Shareholder in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Consulting Agreement”);

 

i.            an Accredited Investor representation, or a similar representation, for purposes of Securities Act compliance from each shareholder of Seller; and

 

(d)         a representation letter of “no material change” from Seller and Shareholder, and such other documents as may be necessary to effect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

D.           Title to and Condition and Sufficiency of Assets.  Seller has, and is transferring to Purchaser hereunder, good, valid and marketable title to all of the Assets, free and clear of any and all Liens.
