Each of the parties to this Agreement is individually referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”

 

BACKGROUND

 

The Company has Two Million, Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand (2,250,000) shares of common stock (the “Company Shares”), all of which are held by the Shareholders. The Shareholders have agreed to transfer the Company Shares in exchange for an aggregate of Two Million, One Hundred Thirty-seven Thousand and Five Hundred (2,137,500) newly issued shares of common stock (the “Exchange Shares”), par value $0.001 per share, of the Parent (the “Parent Stock”).

 

The exchange of Company Shares for Exchange Shares is intended to constitute a reorganization within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or such other tax free reorganization or restructuring provisions as may be available under the Code.

 

The Board of Directors of each of the Parent and the Company has determined that it is desirable to effect the transaction contemplated in this Agreement (the “Share Exchange”).

SECTION 1.02.         Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Share Exchange”) shall take place at such places as the Parties shall agree upon, commencing upon the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions and obligations of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (other than conditions and obligations with respect to the actions that the respective parties will take at Closing) on or before November 19, 2017 or such other date and time as the parties may mutually determine (the “Closing Date”).

 

 

 

 

ARTICLE II
Representations and Warranties of the Shareholder

 

Shareholder hereby represents and warrants to the Parent, as follows:

 

SECTION 2.01.         Good Title. The Shareholder is the record and beneficial owner, and has good and marketable title to the Company Shares (as set forth on Exhibit A), with the right and authority to sell and deliver such Company Shares to Parent as provided herein. Upon registering of the Parent as the new owner of such Company Shares in the share register of the Company, the Parent will receive good title to such Company Shares, free and clear of all liens, security interests, pledges, equities and claims of any kind, voting trusts, shareholder agreements and other encumbrances (collectively, “Liens”).

 

SECTION 2.02.         Power and Authority. All acts required to be taken by the Shareholder to enter into this Agreement and to carry out the Share Exchange have been properly taken. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Shareholder, enforceable against such Shareholder in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

SECTION 2.03.         No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the performance by the Shareholder of his obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof: (i) will not require the consent of any third party or any federal, state, local or foreign government or any court of competent jurisdiction, administrative agency or commission or other governmental authority or instrumentality, domestic or foreign (“Governmental Entity”) under any statutes, laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, judgments, or decrees (collectively, “Laws”); (ii) will not violate any Laws applicable to such Shareholder; and (iii) will not violate or breach any contractual obligation to which such Shareholder is a party.

SECTION 2.05.         Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Parent Stock proposed to be acquired by the Shareholder hereunder will be acquired for investment for his own account, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and the Shareholder has no present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the Parent Stock, except in compliance with applicable securities laws.

 

SECTION 2.06.         Available Information. The Shareholder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Parent. The Shareholder has received and reviewed the 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed by the Parent with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2016 as well as such other reports filed by the Parent with the Securities and Exchange Commission after December 31, 2015 up to the date of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.07.         Non-Registration. The Shareholder understands that the Parent Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and, if issued in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, will be issued by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Shareholder’s representations as expressed herein. The non-registration shall have no prejudice with respect to any rights, interests, benefits and entitlements attached to the Parent Stock in accordance with the Parent charter documents or the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation.

 

SECTION 2.08.         Restricted Securities. The Shareholder understands that the Parent Stock is characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act inasmuch as this Agreement contemplates that, if acquired by the Shareholder pursuant hereto, the Parent Stock would be acquired in a transaction not involving a public offering. The Shareholder further acknowledges that if the Parent Stock is issued to the Shareholder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, such Parent Stock may not be resold without registration under the Securities Act or the existence of an exemption therefrom. The Shareholder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

 

SECTION 2.09.         Legends. It is understood that the Parent Stock will bear the following legend or another legend that is similar to the following:

 

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.
