The Parties agree that the valuation of the Beneficial Rights being conveyed to Company hereunder is equal to the appraised value, or One Hundred Nineteen Million, Eight Hundred Sixty-Two Thousand, Six Hundred One United States dollars (US$119,862,601.00).

This appointment is for Investors’ operational convenience and does not confer any rights, ownership, or authority over unicoins, the Company, the Property, or the Investor Company upon the SPV. The SPV acts as a service provider and is not a party to this Agreement. Investors are solely responsible for actions, omissions, liabilities, and expenses of the SPV related to the unicoin ledger or this Agreement. Any issues or disputes between the SPV and Investors are the sole responsibility of Investors, and Unicoin bears no liability. Investors shall indemnify and hold Unicoin harmless from claims arising from the SPV’s activities or its relationship with Investors. Unicoin retains absolute discretion to modify or terminate the arrangement with the SPV, at its sole election, if (i) the SPV violates any applicable law, rule, or regulation, or (ii) the SPV’s actions or omissions unreasonably impede Unicoin’s obligations herein. Such modification or termination does not prejudice the rights and obligations of Unicoin and Investors. Upon such termination, the Parties shall continue performing their respective obligations as if the SPV was never appointed as Investors’ agent for managing unicoin ledgers.

 

(b) Unicoin Rights Certificate(s): The Allocated Unicoins will be represented by “Unicoin Rights Certificate(s),” reflecting the total number of unicoins to be received by Investors hereunder. Each Investor authorizes the SPV to receive the Unicoin Rights Certificate(s) on their behalf, subsequently allocating the number of unicoins to each Investor according to the Investor’s ownership percentages. Investors agree that the receipt of the Unicoin Rights Certificate(s) by the SPV will constitute full performance by the Company under this agreement and serve as payment in full for all rights conveyed to the Company herein. Unicoin reserves the right in its sole discretion to issue one or more Unicoin Rights Certificates, either in the name of the SPV or in the name of each Investor, for the total number of Allocated Unicoins.

6.1. The Beneficial Rights, including the economic benefits acquired by Company pursuant to this Agreement, are expressly tied to and dependent upon the ownership and rights associated with the Properties described in Exhibit A.

In the event of default by Long Island under this Agreement, Company shall have the right to enforce its security interest by using the Properties as collateral and taking any action against the collateral as a secured party. A default by Long Island occurs when: (i) it attempts to lease, transfer, convey, or encumber the Properties without the prior written consent of Company; (ii) it attempts to gain any economic benefit from the Properties without the prior written consent of the Company; (iii) it makes a material misrepresentation or omission in connection with the Properties, the Books and Records, or this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of any default by Long Island, Company shall have the right to enforce the security interest, in addition to any other remedies available under applicable law. Long Island further agrees to promptly notify Company of any attempt by a third party to assert a claim against the Properties or to take any action that may affect Company’s security interest.

Mr. Eduardo Serrano
777 Brickell Ave

Suite 500

Miami, Florida 33131

 

Dear Mr. Serrano,

 

Re: Opinion on Declaration of Trust

 

I am counsel and attorney of the Supreme Court of The Bahamas in my twenty-eight years of practice. The areas of my practice are diverse and include land law and conveyancing, company law, commercial law and civil litigation and criminal law. Accordingly, I render this Opinion based on my knowledge and expertise of Bahamian law,

 

I have been asked to render my opinion on whether the Declaration of Trust executed by the Shareholders of Newport Harbour Ltd., and on whether the Declaration of Trust executed by the Shareholders of and Long Island Investments Ltd., to Unicoin Inc., is effectual.

 

The agreement executed by Long Island Investment Ltd., and Newport Harbour Ltd., and Unicoin provides that in the event six (6) months expires and there is no activity by Unicorn relative to the shareholdings in (LIIL) or (NHL) the agreement will terminate.

 

The Declarations of Trust are prima facie the transfer of the beneficial interest in both companies to Unicoin Inc.. Consequently, I am of the view that Unicoin is able to utilize the shareholding of both companies to its beneficial use.

 

Once the shares are utilized by Unicoin for any purpose it will be necessary for the parties to obtain the Foreign Investments Board approval, Exchange Control approval and to pay the requisite Government fees upon the registration of Unicoins beneficial interest in the share capital.

 

20

 

 

The requirement for granting Investment Board approval is that the government will vet Unicoin and its principals for legitimacy and if approved will grant the company ‘approved investor status’. After which the government will instruct the Central Bank to grant exchange controls approval for investment purposes.

 

In the event that Unicoin is prepared to enter into a Debenture and Floating Charge with (LIIL) and (NHL) the stamp duty will be one (1%) percent of the consideration.

 

In the event the Government agencies determine that the transfer of these shares take effect from the execution of Declarations of Trust there can be a penalty of Two Hundred and fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) assessed for delayed compliance together with payment of all taxes. The nature of this agreement between the parties will not attract any criminal liabilities against Unicoin, LIIL, NHL or the SPV.

 

There is no evidence of deliberate intent on the part of the parties to defraud the government of taxes. Hence, without clear evidence of deliberate intent there can be no criminal repercussions.

 

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have further questions relative to the foregoing.

 

Yours sincerely,

   
  /s/ Barry A. Sawyer
