WHEREAS, the sole consideration for 100% of the outstanding common stock of GBC shall be the exchange of a like number of shares of $0.001 par value common stock of GHI (which shares are all “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission) as outlined in Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, the GBC Stockholders shall acquire in exchange such “restricted securities” of GHI in a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Reorganization”), and/or any other “tax free” exemption thereunder that is available for this exchange, if applicable; and
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to execute and deliver this Agreement and all related, required or necessary documentation that may be reasonably required to complete the Agreement as contemplated by the Parties (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”);
WHEREAS, upon completion of the exchange of outstanding securities of GBC, GHI will be the sole shareholder of GBC, and GBC will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of GHI; and
WHEREAS, as a condition to the Closing of the Reorganization (as defined below), the GHI Stockholder has agreed to cancel 100,000 shares of GHI common stock that are the only shares of GHI common stock that are presently outstanding;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained herein, it is agreed:
Section 1
Exchange of Stock
1.1 Exchange of Shares. The GBC Stockholders agree to transfer to GHI at the closing (the “Closing”) 100% of the outstanding common stock of GBC listed in Exhibit A, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the “GBC Shares”), in exchange for a like number of shares of common stock of GHI, pro rata.
1.2 Exchange of Certificates by GBC Stockholders and Cancellation of Presently Outstanding Securities of GHI. The transfer of the GBC Shares shall be effected by the delivery to GHI at the Closing of stock certificate or certificates representing the transferred shares.
(a) Each of the shares of common stock of GBC, par value $0.001 per share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing will be converted into the right to receive one (1) share of common stock or an aggregate of 3,600,000 shares of common stock of GHI, par value $0.001 per share; and
(b) Subject to the Closing and exchange of the GBC Shares for the number of shares of common stock of GHI as outlined in the preceding paragraph, the GHI Stockholder shall deliver to GHI for cancellation 100,000 shares of common stock of GHI, which shares of common stock shall be returned to the authorized and unissued common stock of GHI.
1.3 Further Assurances. At the Closing and from time to time thereafter, the Parties shall execute such additional instruments and take such other action as GHI may request in order to exchange and transfer clear title and ownership in the GBC Shares to GHI, and to result in the only shares of common stock of GHI to be outstanding immediately following the Closing being those shares of GHI issued in exchange for the GBC Shares.
1.4 Present Directors and Executive Officers and Designation of New Directors and Executive Officers. On Closing, the present directors and executive officers of GHI shall remain the same and will hold the same designations in GBC, a wholly-owned subsidiary.
1.5 Closing. This Agreement will be deemed to be completed on the execution and delivery of the Agreement by all of the GBC Stockholders.

GHI hereby represents and warrant to GBC and the GBC Stockholders as follows:
3.1 Corporate Organization, etc. GHI is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Utah with the requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as it is now being conducted and to own, operate and lease its properties and assets, is duly qualified or licensed to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing in every other jurisdiction in which the character or location of the properties and assets owned, leased or operated by it or the conduct of its business requires such qualification or licensing, except in such jurisdictions in which the failure to be so qualified or licensed and in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on GHI.
2
3.2 Authorization, etc. GHI has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by GHI and is the valid and binding legal obligation of GHI enforceable against GHI in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, moratorium, principles of equity and other limitations limiting the rights of creditors generally.
3.3 Non-Contravention. Neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and each other agreement to be entered into in connection with this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will:

3.5 Issuance of GHI Common Stock.
