Section 1.05 Effects of the Exchange. Subject to the foregoing, the effects of the Exchange shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of the laws of the Turks and Caicos.

 

Section 1.06 Stock of CLAVO RICO.

 

 

	A.	Clavo Rico Common Stock. The common stock of Clavo Rico, Ltd issued and outstanding at the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Stock Exchange and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, be exchanged on a pro rata basis for 66,391,160 shares of Inception common stock.
	B.	Exchange of CLAVO RICO Common Stock.

 

	(i)	INCEPTION shall authorize one or more persons to act as exchange agent hereunder (the “Exchange Agent”) pursuant to an agreement or agreements satisfactory to Inception and CLAVO RICO. Promptly after Closing, Inception shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent the number of certificates representing the shares of INCEPTION Common Stock payable to the holders of CLAVO RICO Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.01 based on the number of shares of INCEPTION common Stock to be issued to the Shareholders.
	(ii)	As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of CLAVO RICO Common Stock (the “Certificates”), a form letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effective, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates(s) shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificate(s) to the Exchange Agent) and instructions for such holder’s use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for certificates representing shares of INCEPTION Common Stock.
	(iii)	As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall distribute to holders of shares of CLAVO RICO Common Stock, upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of one or more Certificates for cancellation, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal one or more certificates representing the number of whole shares of INCEPTION Common Stock into which the shares represented by the Certificate(s) shall have been converted pursuant to Section 1.01 and the Certificates surrendered shall be cancelled.
	(iv)	All shares of INCEPTION Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of CLAVO RICO Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of CLAVO RICO Common Stock.
	(v)	As of the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates representing shares of CLAVO RICO Common Stock shall cease to have any rights as shareholders of CLAVO RICO, except such rights, if any, as they may have pursuant to the laws of the Turks and Caicos.
