3.CONVEYANCE OF BENEFICIAL RIGHTS, CONSIDERATION

 

3.1. Conveyance of Beneficial Ownership and Conversion Rights.

 

(a) Conveyance of Beneficial Ownership: Upon Closing (as defined below), Investors shall convey and assign to the Company, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Investor Shares (the “Beneficial Ownership Interest”). This conveyance shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall be further elaborated upon in the Trust Declaration.

(“SPV”), a Bahamian registered company located at New Providence Global Financial Centre, East Bay Street, Nassau, Bahamas, as the exclusive agent for managing Investors’ unicoin ledgers and receiving the Allocated Unicoins upon issuance. 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.

The Beneficial Rights must be conveyed to the Company by Investors within 10 days after the completion of the Due Diligence (the “Closing”). The term “Closing” refers to the completion of the transfer of Beneficial Rights as specified in this Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of all Closing Conditions detailed in Section 4.1(b) and compliance with the closing deliverables specified in Section 4.2.

5.2. The Trust Declaration shall be deemed an integral part of this Agreement, and any breach or violation of its terms shall be considered a breach of this Agreement. The Trust Declaration, once executed, shall be irrevocable, binding on the Parties, and enforceable in accordance with applicable laws. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Trust Declaration is a key document governing the transfer of beneficial ownership and shall be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Investor Company is incorporated.

 

6.THE PROPERTIES, COLLATERAL

 

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. Any transfer, sale, or encumbrance of the Properties without the prior written consent of Company shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement.

6.2. Newport Harbour, Ltd. agrees to maintain accurate and complete books and records pertaining to the Properties, including but not limited to financial records, bank accounts, deeds, and tax records (together, the “Books and Records”). The Company shall have the right to access and audit Books and Records at any time during normal business hours upon reasonable notice. Newport Harbour, Ltd. shall cooperate fully with any such audit and provide all necessary assistance, information, and documentation requested by the Company to ensure the accuracy and completeness of such records. Company shall have such audit and inspection rights before Closing (as part of its due diligence), and after Closing.

 

6.3. To secure the economic benefits granted to Company as it pertains to the Properties, Newport Harbour, Ltd. hereby grants to Company a security interest in the Properties. This security interest shall become effective upon Closing. Newport Harbour, Ltd. agrees to execute any additional documents necessary to perfect and record this security interest as required by applicable law. In the event of default by Newport 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 Newport 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 Newport, Company shall have the right to enforce the security interest, in addition to any other remedies available under applicable law. Newport 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.

 

7.REPRESENTATIONS

7.3. Each Investor enters into this Agreement for its own account, not as a nominee or agent for any other person.

 

7.4. This Agreement does not constitute an offer, promotion, invitation, or solicitation for investment purposes, and the private placement memorandum for Unicoin’s ongoing pre-sale, as well as its filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, contain a description of the unicoins and the risks involved in purchasing them.

Mr. Eduardo Serrano

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
