RECITALS
WHEREAS, from time to time, the Creditor has unpaid debt owed by the Company in an aggregate amount of $36,072 (the “Accounts Payable”);
WHEREAS, the Company has an aggregate of $36,072 of indebtedness that it owes to Creditor as a result of such Accounts Payable, and such amount is currently outstanding on the books and records of the Company;
WHEREAS, the Company desires to satisfy $36,072 of the Company’s debt outstanding under the Accounts Payable by issuing up to an aggregate of 7,214,400 shares of newly issued restricted common stock of the Company (the “Shares”) to Creditor, and Creditor desires to receive the Shares in exchange for, and in full satisfaction of, $36,072.00 of the Accounts Payable.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing premises, the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. | Conversion of the Accounts Payable; Issuance of the Shares. |
a. | At the Closing (as defined in Section 2 hereof) and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Creditor hereby agrees to convert $36,072.00 of the outstanding balance owed to Creditor pursuant to the Accounts Payable into the Shares at a conversion price of one-half of a cent ($0.005) per share (the “Conversion Price”), and the Company hereby agrees to issue an aggregate of 7,214,400 shares of newly issued restricted common stock to Creditor (the “Shares”). |
b. | By agreeing to convert $36,072.00 of the outstanding balance owed to Creditor pursuant to the Accounts Payable into the Shares, Creditor acknowledges the Company’s indebtedness to Creditor under the Accounts Payable will be cancelled and terminated in all respects and for all purposes, and Creditor will be deemed to have released all claims held by Creditor with respect to the Accounts Payable. |
c. | Full Satisfaction. Creditor acknowledges that it is accepting the Shares in full satisfaction of $36,072.00 of the outstanding balance owed to Creditor under the Accounts Payable, which is being converted into the Shares, and Creditor will no longer have any rights related to the Accounts Payable at such time as the Shares are issued to Creditor. |
2. | Closing; Delivery of Shares. |
a. | Closing. The closing of the conversion of the Company’s debt outstanding under the Accounts Payable and the issuance of the Shares shall occur as soon as practicable after the execution of this Agreement, but in no event no later than ten (10) business days from the execution of this Agreement, at the offices of Portlogic Systems Inc, 2 Toronto Street, Suite 209, Toronto, Ontario, M5C 2B5, Canada, or such other place, date and time as set forth in this Agreement or as the parties hereto may otherwise agree (the “Closing”). |
b. | Delivery. At the Closing, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the transfer agent to deliver to Creditor, by courier or FedEx, stock certificate, or certificates, registered in the name of Creditor and representing the outstanding balance of the Accounts Payable divided by the Conversion Price. |
3. | Representations and Warranties of Creditor. Creditor represents and warrants to the Company that: |
a. | Purchase Entirely for Own Account. Creditor is acquiring the Shares for Creditor’s own account for investment purposes only, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, a distribution of the Shares within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Creditor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of the Securities Act without prejudice; however, Creditor has a right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by Creditor to hold Shares for any period of time. Creditor is not a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or an entity engaged in a business that would require it to be so registered. |
b. | Accredited Investor. Creditor is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, as amended, under the Securities Act. |
c. | Creditor’s Qualifications. By reason of such Creditor’s business or financial experience, Creditor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment, has the ability to protect its own interests in this transaction, and is financially capable of bearing a total loss of the investment. |
d. | Understanding of Risks. Creditor is aware of the highly speculative nature of the investment in the Shares and the financial hazards involved in such investment. |
e. | Disclosure of Information. Creditor has had an opportunity to receive all information related to the Company requested by it and to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company regarding the Company, its business and the terms and conditions of the conversion and issuance of the Shares. |
f. | Restricted Securities. Creditor understands and acknowledges that: |
i. | the Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances; |
ii. | the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and are being offered and sold in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and state securities laws, and the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and Creditor’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Creditor contained in this Agreement in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of Creditor to acquire the Shares; |
2
iii. | the Shares must be held indefinitely unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act or is exempt from such registration; |
iv. | the Shares will bear a legend substantially in the form set forth in Section 3(g) herein; and |
v. | the Company will make a notation on its transfer books to such effect. |
g. | Legends. It is understood that certificates evidencing the Shares may bear the following or any similar legend: |
i. | “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY 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 TRANSFERRED UNLESS (I) SUCH SECURITIES HAVE BEEN REGISTERED FOR SALE PURSUANT TO THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH REGISTRATION STATEMENT REMAINS EFFECTIVE, (II) SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144, OR (III) IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY, THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COMPANY COUNSEL, STATING THAT SUCH TRANSFER MAY LAWFULLY BE MADE WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.” | |
ii. | If required by the authorities of any state in connection with the issuance of the Shares, the legend required by such state authority. |
h. | Restrictions on Transfer. Creditor understands that it may not transfer any Shares unless such Shares are registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws, or unless exemptions from such registration and qualification requirements are available. |
i. | No Registration Rights. Creditor further understands that there are no registration rights associated with the Shares being acquired pursuant to this Agreement. |
j. | No General Solicitation. Creditor did not learn of the investment in the Shares as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising. |
k. | Investment Decision. Creditor understands that nothing in the Agreement or any other materials presented to Creditor in connection with the purchase and sale of the Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Creditor has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Shares. |
