Each of the parties to this Agreement is individually referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively, as the “Parties.”






BACKGROUND






The Company has 1,000 shares of capital stock (the “Company Stock”) outstanding, all of which are held by the Shareholders. Each Shareholder is the record and beneficial owner of the number of shares of Company Stock set forth opposite such Shareholder’s name on Annex A hereto. Each Shareholder has agreed to transfer all of his, her or its (hereinafter “its”) shares of Company Stock in exchange for 1,576,782 newly issued shares of the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Parent (the “Parent Stock”) that will, in the aggregate, constitute approximately 90% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Parent on a fully-diluted basis as of and immediately after the Closing (as defined hereinafter). The number of shares of Parent Stock to be received by each Shareholder is listed opposite each such Shareholder’s name on Annex A. The aggregate number of shares of Parent Stock that is reflected on Annex A is referred to herein as the “Shares”.






The exchange of Company Stock for Parent Stock is intended to constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as amended.






The board of directors of the Parent and the Company have determined that it is desirable to effect this plan of reorganization and share exchange.






AGREEMENT






NOW THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:

Section 2.07. Non-Registration. The Shareholder understands that the Parent Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and, if issued in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, will be issued by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Shareholder’s representations as expressed herein.
