AGREEMENT

 

THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for good and valuable consideration, intending to be legally bound, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Sale of Shares.

 

(a) Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing (as defined below), the Seller agrees to sell to the Purchaser and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Seller, the Hukui Shares, consisting of 140,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock of Hukui, for a purchase price of $350,000 (the “Purchase Price”). At the Closing, title to the Hukui Shares shall pass to the Purchaser, who, as record and beneficial owner thereof, shall succeed to all rights, obligations and restrictions underlying the Hukui Shares, as provided in the Articles of Association, Bylaws and other governing documents and agreements of Hukui (collectively, the “Hukui Governing Documents”).

 

(b) Closing. The sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) that will occur remotely via the exchange of documents, or at such other place as may be mutually agreed to by the Parties, as soon as reasonably possible after all conditions set forth herein to such Closing are completed or waived by the Parties. At the Closing, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a certificate or certificates representing the Hukui Shares, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by an appropriate assignment separate from certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, against payment by the Purchaser of the full amount of the Purchase Price, payable by wire transfer to a bank account designated by the Seller against instructions provided by the Seller to the Purchaser.

 

 

 

2. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. In connection with the sale of the Hukui Shares to Purchaser, the Purchaser represents and warrants to the Seller and Hukui that:

 

(a) The Purchaser is acquiring the Hukui Shares for investment purposes, for the Purchaser’s own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” of the Hukui Shares within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

(b) The Purchaser understands that the Hukui Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed herein.

 

(c) The Purchaser further understands that the Hukui Shares have not registered under the laws of any other jurisdiction, including the Republic of China.

 

(d) The Purchaser understands that the Hukui Shares are “restricted securities” under U.S. federal and applicable state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Purchaser must hold the Hukui Shares indefinitely unless it is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and qualified by such state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. The Purchaser acknowledges that Hukui has no obligation to register or qualify the Hukui Shares for resale in the United States of any other jurisdiction. The Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Hukui Shares, and requirements relating to Hukui which are outside the Purchaser’s control, and which Hukui is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.

 

(e) The Purchaser will not sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of any of the Hukui Shares purchased by the Purchaser hereunder unless and until (a) such Hukui Shares are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or the laws of any other jurisdiction or (b) (i) an exemption from such registration is available thereunder; and (ii) the Purchaser has notified Hukui of the proposed transfer and has furnished Hukui with an opinion of counsel in a form reasonably satisfactory to Hukui, or such other documentation that Hukui may reasonably request, that such transfer will not require registration of such shares under the Securities Act or the laws of any other jurisdiction, including the Republic of China. The Purchaser understands that Hukui is not obligated, and does not have any present intent, to register the Hukui Shares either under the Securities Act, any applicable state securities laws or the laws of any other jurisdiction, including the Republic of China. The Purchaser authorizes Hukui to issue stop transfer instructions to its stock transfer agent, or, so long as Hukui may act as its own transfer agent, to make a stop transfer notation in its appropriate records, in order to ensure the Purchaser’s compliance with this provision.

 

(f) The Purchaser has received all information he considers necessary or appropriate in deciding whether to purchase the Hukui Shares and make the investment in Hukui contemplated herein. None of such information has come from, or been provided by, the Seller. The Purchaser represents that he has relied exclusively on sources other than the Seller to obtain such information as he wished to consider in making his investment decision and has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from Hukui regarding Hukui in general and the Hukui Shares in particular.

 

(g) The Purchaser has had a reasonable opportunity to consult with counsel of his own choosing (as well as tax and financial advisors of his own choosing) regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein. The Purchaser has had opportunity to review with his tax advisors applicable tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Seller is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Seller or any of its agents. The Purchaser understands that it (and not the Seller) shall be responsible for any tax liability incurred by the Purchaser, any related interest and penalties, if any, that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and any other stock transfer or other fees that arise in, or may imposed by, any jurisdiction in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
