PARTIES agree that the PRICE be paid on the date of signature of this present contract without injuring the reasonable time lapse that the corresponding paper work might take and issuing in favor of the VENDOR the amount of 460,000 (four hundred and sixty thousand) common shares pertaining to the PURCHASER, same that will be subjected to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, of forceful application of the stock market in which the described shares are quoted among other applicable and current legal disposition (the SHARES).

Regarding the SHARES, it is expressly convened that the corresponding title will be delivered in favor of the VENDOR as soon as possible once the corresponding issuing paper work is completed before the respective stock authority.

The VENDOR accepts that the SHARES may be exercised and, consequently sold in the corresponding stock market within a time term of 6 (six) months as of the date of issuance and delivery of the respective title in its favor.

On its part, the PURCHASER commits itself to guarantee in this act and guarantees that the SHARES’ stock value at the date of their exercise and sale by the VENDOR must be $2.00 Dollars (Two Dollars 00/100 in United States Currency) each.

It is expressly agreed that in the event the stock value of the SHARES at the date of their exercise and sale by the part of the VENDOR be less than $2.00 Dollars, (two Dollars 00/100 United States Currency), each, the PURCHASER will issue in favor of the VENDOR the amount of shares required that, derived from their sale, this latter may effectively collect the total amount of $920,000.00 Dollars (Nine thousand and twenty Dollars 00/100 in United States Currency), same that will be issued subject to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, of forceful application in the stock market in which the described shares are quoted, among other applicable and current legal dispositions.

Finally, the PARTIES agree that the VENDOR will be the only responsible party of instituting the paper work for the sale of the SHARES at its opportune time, assuming the respective cost, and notifying in all opportunity the PURCHASER of the corresponding stock value in order to proceed, under the terms of the foregoing paragraphs, without injury of respecting the right of preference foreseen in the following Sixth Clause.

Thus, the PURCHASER will not be held responsible due to the impossibility of the sale of the SHARES in the stock market for reasons attributable to the VENDOR or to any other person related to it, but only upon the validity, legality and stock situation of the SHARES as has been established.
