NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.       Conversion and Cancellation of the Indebtedness. Effective automatically upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by all the parties (the “Closing”), the Indebtedness shall be cancelled and converted into an aggregate of 5,900,000 newly issued and outstanding restricted shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”).

 

2.       The Closing. The Closing shall take place on August 2, 2017. At the Closing, the following actions shall take place simultaneously;

Neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, nor the performance of the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation the issuance of the Shares will: (i) constitute a breach or violation of the Company’s constituent documents; (ii) conflict with or constitute (with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice) a breach of, or default under any material agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Company is a party or by which its assets are bound; or (iii) violate any court order, judgment, administrative or judicial order, writ, decree, stipulation, arbitration award or injunction or statute, law, ordinance, rule and regulation applicable to the Company.

 

 

 

 

3.2       Issuance.
