NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises exchanged herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, MagneGas and Alpha hereby memorialize their agreement as follows:

 

 

 

 

ARTICLE I.

 

Mutual Releases

 

1.1 Alpha’s Release of MagneGas. Subject to and conditioned upon receipt of the Exchange Shares (as defined below) on the terms provided herein, and other than with respect to any obligation of MagneGas or any of its corporate parents, subsidiaries and Affiliates, along with its and their former and current partners, members, principals, directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents, attorneys, contractors, representatives, predecessors, administrators, successors and assigns (collectively the “MagneGas Persons”) set forth in this Agreement and/or the breach by any MagneGas Person of, or inaccuracy in, any representation, warranty and/or covenant given or made by any MagneGas Person as set forth in this Agreement. Alpha on behalf of itself and all of its corporate parents, subsidiaries and Affiliates, along with its and their former and current partners, members, principals, directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents, attorneys, contractors, representatives, predecessors, administrators, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Alpha Persons”), hereby releases and discharges MagneGas and any and all of the MagneGas Persons, from liability with respect to all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, costs, expenses, accounts, contracts, agreements, promises, compensation and all other liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever, in each case, relating in any way to any business dealing (including, without limitation, any contract or other agreement entered into) between Alpha and/or any its corporate parents, subsidiaries and Affiliates, on the one hand, and MagneGas and/or any its corporate parents, subsidiaries and Affiliates, on the other hand, that accrued through the Effective Date (but for the avoidance of doubt, not to the extent after the Effective Date).

1.2 MagneGas’s Release of Alpha. Subject to and conditioned upon tender and receipt of the Senior Convertible Debenture as provided for below, and other than with respect to any obligation of Alpha or any Alpha Person set forth in this Agreement and/or the breach by any Alpha Person of, or inaccuracy in, any representation, warranty and/or covenant given or made by any Alpha Person as set forth in this Agreement, MagneGas, on behalf of itself and the MagneGas Persons, hereby releases and discharges Alpha and any and all of the Alpha Persons, from liability with respect to all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, costs, expenses, accounts, contracts, agreements, promises, compensation and all other liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever, in each case, relating in any way to any business dealing (including, without limitation, any contract or other agreement entered into) between Alpha and/or any its corporate parents, subsidiaries and Affiliates, on the one hand, and MagneGas and/or any its corporate parents, subsidiaries and Affiliates, on the other hand, that accrued through the Effective Date (but for the avoidance of doubt, not to the extent after the Effective Date).

 

1.3 Release of Unknown Claims. With respect to the releases provided in this Agreement, each party waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits afforded by section 1542 of the California Civil Code and all other similar rules, statutes, regulations and legal principles of any applicable jurisdiction. Section 1542 of the California Civil Code provides that:

 

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.

 

Each party further understands that the facts in respect of which it has granted a release pursuant to this Agreement may hereafter turn out to be other than or different from the facts now known or believed by each party to be true; and each party hereby accepts and assumes the risk of the facts turning out to be different and agrees that this Agreement shall be and remain in all respects effective and not subject to termination or rescission for any reason, including, but not limited to, any such difference in facts. The parties acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 1.3 were separately negotiated for, and constitute key elements of this Agreement.

Settlement Consideration

 

2.1 Exchange. On the Effective Date, pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), Alpha shall convey, assign and transfer the Senior Convertible Debenture to MagneGas in exchange for which MagneGas shall immediately direct its transfer agent to issue 1.6 million unrestricted shares (the “Exchange Shares”) of MagneGas’s common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”) as provided for herein (the “Exchange”).

 

2.2 Tender of Senior Convertible Debenture. On or prior to Effective Date, Alpha shall tender to MagneGas a copy (which may be delivered by facsimile or electronic mail) of the original certificate evidencing the Senior Convertible Debenture (or a duly executed and delivered lost debenture affidavit, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to MagneGas) and the Senior Convertible Debenture shall be free and clear of all Liens (as defined below). On or prior to the second business day after the Effective Date, Alpha shall deliver the original certificate evidencing the Senior Convertible Debenture (or a duly executed and delivered lost debenture affidavit, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to MagneGas) to MagneGas. Upon receipt of the Exchange Shares as provided for herein, all of Alpha’s rights under the Senior Convertible Debenture shall be extinguished. “Liens” shall mean any security or other property interest or right, claim, lien, pledge, option, charge, security interest, contingent or conditional sale, or other title claim or retention agreement, interest or other right or claim of third parties, whether perfected or not perfected, voluntarily incurred or arising by operation of law, and including any agreement (other than this Agreement) to grant or submit to any of the foregoing in the future; provided that “Liens” shall not include (i) any “Lien” on the Senior Convertible Debenture imposed by any MagneGas Person, (ii) any transfer restrictions imposed by any applicable law or (iii) any transfer restrictions or similar rights or obligations set forth in the Senior Convertible Debenture or any agreement ancillary thereto.

2.3 Delivery of Exchange Shares. In exchange for the Senior Convertible Debenture, MagneGas shall credit the Exchange Shares to Alpha or its designee’s balance account with the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) in accordance with the DTC instructions delivered by Alpha to MagneGas on or prior to the Effective Date (provided that, to the extent any such instruction is delivered after the Effective Date, such event shall not relieve MagneGas of any of its obligations hereunder). On the Effective Date, Alpha shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Exchange Shares, irrespective of the date such Exchange Shares are credited to the Investor’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC in accordance herewith.

 

2.4 Further Documentation. MagneGas and Alpha shall execute and/or deliver such other documents and agreements as are customary and reasonably necessary to effectuate the Exchange on the terms provided herein.

2.6 Leak-out. During the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on February 28, 2018, neither Alpha nor any of its Affiliates (as defined below), collectively, shall sell, directly or indirectly, on any trading day, more than 15 percent of the daily average composite trading volume of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, LP at a price per share less than $0.40 per share (subject to adjustment for any stock splits or combinations, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar event after the date hereof). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that there will be no restrictions on Alpha’s ability to sell shares at a price above $0.40 (subject to adjustment for any stock splits or combinations, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar event after the date hereof). “Affiliate” means, with respect to any specified Person, (a) any other Person who or which, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such specified Person, including, without limitation, any partner, officer, director, member of such Person and any fund now or hereafter existing that is controlled by or under common control with one or more general partners or managing members of, or shares the same management company with, such Person, or (b) if such Person is a natural person, such Person’s spouse, lineal descendant (including any adopted child or adopted grandchild) or other family member, or a custodian or trustee of any trust, partnership or limited liability company for the benefit of, in whole or in part, or the ownership interests of which are, directly or indirectly, controlled by, such Person or any other member or members of such Person’s family.

MagneGas hereby represents and warrants to Alpha that MagneGas is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

3.2 Authorization. MagneGas hereby represents and warrants to Alpha that all corporate action on the part of its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of all obligations of MagneGas hereunder, and the authorization of the Exchange and the issuance of the Exchange Shares, have been taken on or prior to the Effective Date.

3.3 Valid Issuance of the Exchange Shares. MagneGas hereby represents and warrants to Alpha that Exchange Shares when issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, for the consideration expressed herein, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

3.4 Offering. Subject to the truth and accuracy of Alpha’s representations set forth in Section 4.2 and 4.4 herein, MagneGas hereby represents and warrants to Alpha that the offer and issuance of the Exchange Shares as contemplated by this Agreement are exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and the qualification or registration requirements of state securities laws or other applicable blue sky laws.

MagneGas acknowledges and agrees that Alpha is acting solely in the capacity of arm’s-length purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the other documents entered into in connection herewith (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) and the transactions contemplated hereby and that Alpha is not (a) an officer or director of MagneGas, (b) an “affiliate” of MagneGas (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act), or (c) to the knowledge of MagneGas, a “beneficial owner” of more than 10 percent of the shares of Common Stock (as defined for purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the 1934 Act). MagneGas further acknowledges that Alpha is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of MagneGas (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby, and any advice given by Alpha or any of its representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby, is merely incidental to Alpha’s acceptance of the Exchange Shares. MagneGas further represents to Alpha that MagneGas’s decision to enter into the Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation of MagneGas and its representatives.

3.9 Validity; Enforcement; No Conflicts. MagneGas hereby represents and warrants to Alpha that this Agreement and each Transaction Document to which MagneGas is a party have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of MagneGas and shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of MagneGas enforceable against MagneGas in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies. The execution, delivery and performance by MagneGas of this Agreement, each Transaction Document to which MagneGas is a party and the consummation by MagneGas of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (a) result in a violation of the organizational documents of MagneGas, (b) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which MagneGas is a party or by which it is bound, or (c) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities or “blue sky” laws) applicable to MagneGas, except in the case of clause (b) above, for such conflicts, defaults or rights which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of MagneGas to perform its obligations hereunder.

 

3.10 Disclosure. Other than as set forth in the 8-K Filing (as defined below), MagneGas confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided Alpha or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute material, nonpublic information.

Alpha and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of MagneGas. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by Alpha or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect Alpha’s right to rely on MagneGas’s representations and warranties contained herein. Alpha understands that its investment in the Exchange Shares involves a high degree of risk. Alpha has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Exchange Shares.

4.5 No Governmental Review. Alpha hereby represents and warrants to MagneGas that Alpha understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Exchange Shares or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Exchange Shares nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Exchange Shares.

 

4.6 Validity; Enforcement; No Conflicts.

The execution, delivery and performance by Alpha of this Agreement, each Transaction Document to which Alpha is a party and the consummation by Alpha of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (a) result in a violation of the organizational documents of Alpha, (b) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which Alpha is a party, or (c) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities or “blue sky” laws) applicable to Alpha, except in the case of clause (b) above, for such conflicts, defaults or rights which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of Alpha to perform its obligations hereunder.
