2.4

Share Exchange Agreement

On or about May 15, 2011, the Company and Pubco entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger which was terminated in October 2011 and in place of such agreement the shareholders of the Company and Pubco entered into the Share Exchange Agreement, dated October 28, 2011 (the Share Exchange Agreement), under which the Company’s shareholders will, subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions set forth in the Share Exchange Agreement, exchange Common Shares held by them for Pubco Shares on a share-for-share basis. Pubco has no material assets and no material liabilities but is obligated to file annual, quarterly and other reports with the SEC. As a result of the Share Exchange and the other transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company will become a 100%-owned subsidiary of Pubco and the Purchaser and the Company Shareholders (including the investor named in the Subscription Agreement) will own all of the Pubco Shares issued in the Share Exchange (after giving effect to certain share cancellations required as a condition to the closing of the Share Exchange under the terms and conditions of the Share Exchange Agreement and before giving effect to any Pubco shares which Company Shareholders may have acquired prior to the Share Exchange).

Any Subscription Shares acquired by the Purchaser or any Other Purchaser prior to the Share Exchange will be exchanged for Pubco Shares on the following terms:

(a)

Pubco will not have any other form of securities in issue other than a single class of common stock and a single series of preferred stock which shall not be preferred in liquidation or as to dividends to the common stock, but shall be convertible into shares of the common stock of Pubco on a basis equivalent to the holder’s share ownership in the Company immediately prior to the Share Exchange.

(b)

Pubco Shares currently are quoted on the OTCBB and will continue to be quoted on the OTCBB, or another comparable interdealer quotation system in the USA, as long as Pubco files with the SEC all reports required to be filed as a condition to continued eligibility for quotation.

(c)

To the extent that the Share Exchange occurs prior to any Closing, then the remainder of the shares to be acquired by the Purchaser under this Agreement at such Closing and any subsequent Closing shall be shares of the common stock of Pubco, substituted on a one-for-one basis and subscribed for at the Issue Price. Accordingly, the obligations of the Purchaser to subscribe for Common Shares shall then relate to shares of common stock of Pubco, and, as part of the Share Exchange, Pubco shall have assumed the obligations of the Company to issue new shares to the Purchaser and the Other Purchasers, with the effect that the Company shall no longer have any obligations whatsoever to issue new Common Shares.

If Pubco does not agree to amend the Share Exchange Agreement to permit the Company to comply with the requirements of this Agreement, the Company may enter into a share exchange agreement with another SEC-registered company, the shares of which are quoted on the OTCBB, on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Share Exchange Agreement, in which event such other company shall have the rights and obligations of Pubco under this Agreement and shall be substituted for Pubco.

The Purchaser’s Undertaking to Subscribe for Subscription Shares

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the basis of the representations and warranties set forth on Annex 2 to this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby undertakes to subscribe for in the aggregate 300,000 Common Shares (the Subscription Shares) at the Issue Price, each to be subscribed for and taken up on or before the applicable Instalment Date as provided in Section 3.3.

On and with effect as of each Closing, the Purchaser shall pay in cash the Issue Price for the Subscription Shares from time to time, but not later than the Instalment Date for each Subscription Amount referenced below in this Section 3.3, up to the Aggregate Subscription Amount, to the Company’s regular account as notified by the Company to the Purchaser reasonably prior to the relevant Closing Date. The Subscription Shares to be subscribed for and purchased by the Purchaser are as follows:

(i)

$100,000.00 will be paid for 100,000 Common Shares on or before November 28, 2012;

(ii)

$100,000.00 will be paid for 100,000 Common Shares on or before December 21, 2012; and

(iii)

Time shall be of the essence in connection with the performance by the Purchaser of its obligations to purchase each Share Instalment at the Closing on or before each Instalment Date. All payments for the Subscription Shares shall be made according to the instructions sets forth in Annex 4 to this Agreement. If the Purchaser fails to comply with its obligations to purchase any Subscription Shares at a Closing on or before an Instalment Date as set forth above, the Company shall have the right to terminate and rescind as provided in Section 6 below, and the Company shall further retain all of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise against the Purchaser. The sale and issuance of the Subscription Shares to the Purchaser will be made by the Company or Pubco, as the case shall be, in reliance on the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Purchaser set forth in Annex 3 to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation of the Purchaser to subscribe for all 300,000 Subscription Shares shall be a single obligation under this Agreement.

3.4

Right to Purchase Additional Shares

Provided, that the Purchaser has purchased the Subscription Shares in compliance with Section 3.3, the Purchaser shall have the right (referred in this Agreement as the Additional Purchase Right), exercisable from time to time prior to or on the Termination Date, to purchase from the Company for resale to the Other Purchasers, or to place with the Other Purchasers on the Company’s behalf, up to 2,700,000 (in words: two million seven hundred thousand) additional Common Shares from the Company (if the Share Exchange has not occurred by the Closing Date) or from Pubco (if Share Exchange has occurred by the Closing Date), in either case at the Issue Price. The Company shall not have any obligation to sell any shares to the extent that the Additional Purchase Right has been exercised after the Termination Date. The Additional Purchase Right shall be exercisable on such other terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.4 at any time or from time to time prior to the Termination Date.

To exercise the Additional Purchase Right, the Purchaser shall send to the Company (a) a written notice (the Additional Purchase Right Exercise Notice) (if prior to or on the date of the closing of the Share Exchange) or to Pubco (if after the closing of the Share Exchange) which states: (i) the name, address, telephone and telefax numbers, email address, company registration number or other similar identifying data of the Other Purchaser that will purchase the shares, together with the complete identity of the proposed individual ultimate beneficial owners of the shares, (ii) the number of Common Shares or the number of Pubco Shares to be purchased by each proposed Other Purchaser and (iii) the date on which the closing of the purchase and sale of the Common Shares to be purchased by the Other Purchasers will occur, which date will not be more than three (3) business days after the date of the notice and not later than the Termination Date ,and (b) the Agreement of Joinder in the form of Annex 5 to this Agreement executed by each Other Purchaser. The Company or Pubco, as the case shall be, shall have the right to object to any proposed Other Purchaser on the grounds that the Company or Pubco does not believe that any such proposed Other Purchaser is suitable as an investor or that the information provided in the Additional Purchase Right Exercise Notice is incomplete (provided. that the Company shall exercise its right of rejection reasonably) and if such objection is made, the Company or Pubco shall send a written notice stating the grounds for objection within two (2) business days after its receipt of the Additional Purchase Right Exercise Notice. If the Purchaser corrects the deficiencies noted by the Company or Pubco prior to end of the Additional Purchase Right Exercise Period to the satisfaction of the Company or Pubco, then the closing of the of the purchase and sale of the shares shall occur within three (3) business days after the date on which the deficiencies have been corrected. For each sale of shares as to which the Company or Pubco has not objected or, if objection was made, the deficiencies were completed to satisfaction, the Company or Pubco, as the case shall be, will execute the Agreement of Joinder submitted with the Additional Purchase Right Exercise Notice and deliver the fully executed counterpart to each Other Purchaser named in the Additional Purchase Right Exercise Notice at the closing of the purchase and sale of the shares. If any Other Purchaser fails to purchase and pay for any shares, neither the Company nor Pubco shall have any obligation to sell any shares whatsoever to such Other Purchaser under this Agreement in connection with the exercise of the Additional Purchase Right.

The sale and issuance of shares to the Other Purchasers under this Section 3.4 will be made in reliance on the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Purchaser and the Other Purchasers set forth in Annex 3 to this Agreement. All payments for the shares to be purchased upon the exercise of the Additional Purchase Right shall be made according to the instructions sets forth in Annex 4 to this Agreement or as otherwise instructed in writing by Pubco.

If this Agreement is terminated or rescinded pursuant to Section 6 prior to the Termination Date, then notwithstanding such termination or rescission, the Company or Pubco shall be obligated to complete the issuance of any shares to be sold to any Other Purchaser who was named in an Additional Purchase Right Exercise Notice delivered to the Company or Pubco prior to the date of such termination or rescission to the extent of the shares referenced in such Additional Purchase Right Exercise Notice, but not as to any other shares.

RESTRICTionS ON SALES OF SHARES; REGISTRATION OF RESALES OF SHARES

Under the rules and regulations of the SEC, the Pubco Shares are “restricted securities” and, unless the resale of the Pubco Shares has been registered with the SEC under the Securities Act, Pubco Shares may not be resold in any transaction which involves (i) any “U.S. Person” (as defined by the rules of the SEC) or (ii) any means of commerce connected to the USA. Therefore, until the Restrictions Lapse Date, neither the Purchaser nor any Other Purchaser shall sell, assign or transfer any Pubco Shares (i) without the prior written consent of the Company or (ii) in a transaction which has been notified to the Company and does not involve any “U.S. Person” (as defined by the rules of the SEC) or any means of commerce connected to the USA. No Pubco Shares shall be pledged, assigned by way of security or otherwise used as security and shall remain free and clear of any liens, encumbrances, charges or any other third party rights.

In light of the foregoing restrictions, as soon as practicable after the Share Exchange has occurred and with Pubco’s best efforts to effect such filing prior to January 11, 2013, Pubco will file with the SEC a registration statement (the Registration Statement) that seeks to register the resale of 100% of the Pubco Shares then owned by the Purchaser and the Other Purchasers at the time of filing the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto (together with such other Pubco Shares as the Board may determine). To the extent that the Purchaser purchases Subscription Shares and the Purchaser and the Other Purchasers exercise the Additional Purchase Right to purchase additional shares after the date on which Pubco has filed the Registration Statement with the SEC, the Company will use its best efforts to amend the Registration Statement as filed, consistent with the rules and regulations of the SEC, to include the Subscription Shares and other shares so purchased. If Pubco is not able to so amend the Registration Statement, then as soon as practicable after the initial Registration Statement has been declared effective, Pubco will file another registration statement with the SEC to register the resale of any shares of the Purchaser and the Other Purchasers that were not included in the initial Registration Statement as declared effective.

Pubco will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the SEC to declare the Registration Statement effective reasonably promptly and will maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for a period of three (3) years or until all of the Common Shares registered in the Registration Statement have been sold, if sooner. The Purchaser and the Other Purchasers will cooperate fully with Pubco in the discharge of its obligations under this Section and will provide all information and enter into such further agreements as may be required to have the Registration Statement declared effective, including agreements to reduce the number of shares to be included in the Registration Statement to an amount which Pubco believes in good faith will allow the SEC to conclude that the offering is a secondary (i.e., resale) offering and not a primary offering.

Within 10 Business Days after receipt of such nomination, subject to Section 8.1.2, unless the Board determines in the exercise of its reasonable judgment that the Purchaser’s nominee is not reasonably acceptable, the Board will increase itself by one member and will fill the vacancy created thereby with the Purchaser’s nominee.

8.1.2

Pubco and the Purchaser will agree on procedures under which the Purchaser will identify its nominee and provide Pubco with all information regarding such nominee as Pubco may request at such times and within such deadlines as Pubco may reasonably establish.

Annex 3

Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser and the Other Purchasers

Each of the Purchaser and the Other Purchasers (each being referred to in this Annex as a Purchaser ) further represents or acknowledges the following:

Knowledge of Investment and its Risks. Each Purchaser has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of Purchaser’s investment in the Common Shares and the Pubco Shares (the Acquired Shares). Purchaser understands that an investment in the Acquired Shares represents a high degree of risk and there is no assurance that the business or operations will be successful. Purchaser has considered carefully the risks attendant to an investment in the Company and Pubco, and that, as a consequence of such risks, Purchaser could lose its entire investment in the Acquired Shares.

Investment Intent. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants that (i) it is acquiring the Acquired Shares for investment purposes only and for its own account, and not as a nominee or agent and not with a view to the resale or distribution of all or any part of the Acquired Shares, and Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in or otherwise distributing any of the Acquired Shares within the meaning of the Securities Act, except that the right to dispose of any of the Acquired Shares shall remain within the discretion of each Purchaser; and (ii) Purchaser does not have any contracts, understandings, agreements or arrangements with any person and/or entity to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person and/or entity, with respect to any of the Acquired Shares.

Disclosure. Purchaser has reviewed information provided by the Company in connection with the decision to purchase the Acquired Shares, and has reviewed Pubco’s publicly-available filings with the SEC. The Company has provided or made available to Purchaser all the information that Purchaser has requested in connection with the decision to purchase the Acquired Shares. Purchaser further represents that Purchaser has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company and Pubco. Purchaser ackowledges that the Company has made no representations or warranties whatsoever with respect to the trading value or range of its shares in any market or quotation system and trading prices of the shares will likely fluctuate and may never achieve their full value in the view of the Purchaser.

No Registration. Purchaser understands that it must bear the economic risk of its investment in the Company and Pubco for an indefinite period of time. Purchaser further understands that (i) neither the offering nor the sale of the Acquired Shares has been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable securities laws of other applicable jurisdictions in reliance upon exemptions from the registration requirements of such laws, (ii) the Acquired Shares must be held by Purchaser indefinitely unless the sale or transfer thereof is subsequently registered under the Securities Act, or an exemption from such registration requirements is available, (iii) except to the extent set forth in the Subscription Agreement to which this Annex is attached, Pubco is not under any obligation to register any of the Acquired Shares on Purchaser’s behalf or to assist Purchaser in complying with any exemption from registration, and (iv) Pubco will rely upon the representations and warranties made by Purchaser in this Agreement in order to establish such exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or the securities laws of other applicable jurisdictions.

Transfer Restrictions. Except for the Share Exchange, Purchaser will not sell, assign or transfer any of the Acquired Shares unless such transfer is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and the securities laws of other applicable jurisdictions, and, if requested, Purchaser has furnished an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Pubco that such transfer is so exempt. Each Purchaser understands that certificates or other evidence of the Acquired Shares shall bear a legend substantially similar to the following:

“THIS CERTIFICATE HAS NOT BEEN AND MAY NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (“THE SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR ANY INTEREST HEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.”

Purchaser further understands and agrees neither the Company nor Pubco shall have any obligation to honor transfers of any of the Acquired Shares in violation of such transfer restrictions, and the Company and Pubco may instruct any transfer agent to refuse to honor such transfers.

Non-U.S. Person. No Purchaser is a “U.S. Person,” as defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S. The Purchaser is not acquiring the Acquired Shares for the benefit of any U.S. Person. The Purchaser will be the sole beneficial owner of Stock and the Purchaser has not pre-arranged any sale with respect to any of the foregoing to any persons in the United States. For purposes of this representation, a “U.S. person” shall include, without limitation, any natural person resident in the United States, any partnership or corporation organized or non-U.S. banks or insurance companies, any estate of which executor or person (with certain exceptions) and any agency or bank of a foreign entity located in the United States, but does not include a natural person not resident in the United States; and the “United States” means the United States of America, its territories and possessions, any state of the United States and the District of Columbia.

Outside the United States. Each Purchaser is outside the United States as of the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and will be outside the United States at the time of the closing of the purchase and sale of any Acquired Shares; provided, that delivery of the Acquired Shares may be effected within the United States through the Purchaser’s agent as long as the Purchaser is outside the United States at the time of any such delivery.

Limitation on Resale and Transferability. Each Purchaser understands that the Acquired Shares being acquired cannot be offered for sale, sold, or otherwise transferred unless (i) in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, (ii) pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or (iii) pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. No Purchaser has engaged in any “Directed Selling Efforts” (as defined in Regulation S) and has any present intention to sell or otherwise transfer the Acquired Shares except in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S of the Securities Act, pursuant to registration under the Securities Act, pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act or upon compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Purchaser understands that under Rule 903 of Regulation S, Pubco is required to refuse to register the transfer of any the Acquired Shares that is not made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act, in compliance with Regulation S or otherwise pursuant to an available exemption from registration.
