Mabwe desires to acquire the assets of Fonon and Fonon agrees to sell its assets (the "Acquisition") in exchange for shares of Mabwe common stock to provide Fonon with voting control of Mabwe and on the additional terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.


 


Mabwe and Fonon entered into a letter of intent ("LOI") on January 22, 2015 under which Mabwe agreed to exchange a majority of its shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share ("Mabwe Common Stock"), for certain assets of Fonon.


 


Mabwe and Fonon have agreed to have Fonon acquire 85% of the Mabwe's issued and outstanding common stock, par value $.001 per share ("Mabwe Common Stock"), in two steps, the first being by having Mabwe issue 325,241,608 shares of its common stock, to give Fonon 65% ownership of all issued and outstanding shares of Mabwe's capital stock, and the second to effect a 1:10 reverse split of all issued and outstanding shares of Mabwe's capital stock as a result of which the current shareholders of Mabwe, following the issuance of 65,000,000 shares of Mabwe Common Stock to Fonon, will own 17,475,839, of the issued and outstanding shares of Mabwe Common Stock, Fonon will own 32,524,161 shares of Mabwe Common Stock of the issued and outstanding shares of Mabwe Common Stock on a fully diluted basis and Fonon will receive an additional 65,000,000 shares of Mabwe Common Stock to achieve its ownership of 97,524,161 shares or 85% of Mabwe's 115,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of Mabwe's capital stock.

7.2           Survival of Representations and Warranties.  Each of the representations and warranties made by Fonon and/or Shareholder in this Agreement or pursuant hereto shall survive the Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months except for the representations and warranties made by Fonon set forth in Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.10, 3.13 and 3.14 which shall survive the Closing for the applicable period of limitations.  Notwithstanding any knowledge of facts determined or determinable by any party by investigation, each party shall have the right to fully rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the other parties contained in this Agreement or in any other documents or papers delivered in connection herewith.  Each representation, warranty, covenant and agreement of the parties contained in this Agreement is independent of each other representation, warranty, covenant and agreement.  Each of the representations and warranties made by Mabwe shall expire at the Closing.

10.2           Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement (including the exhibits and schedules attached hereto) and other documents delivered at the Closing pursuant hereto, contains the entire understanding of the parties in respect of its subject matter and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (oral or written) between or among the parties with respect to such subject matter.  The parties agree that prior drafts of this Agreement shall not be deemed to provide any evidence as to the meaning of any provision hereof or the intent of the parties with respect thereto.  The exhibits and schedules constitute a part hereof as though set forth in full above.  Except for the Mabwe Affiliates and other persons expressly stated herein to be indemnitees, this Agreement is not intended to confer upon any Person, other than the parties hereto, any rights or remedies hereunder.


 


10.3           Expenses; Sales Tax.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the parties shall pay their own fees and expenses, including their own counsel fees, incurred in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby.  The parties agree that Fonon shall pay all sales, transfer or similar taxes required to be paid by reason of the sale by Fonon to Mabwe of the Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement.


 


10.4           Amendment; Waiver.  This Agreement may not be modified, amended, supplemented, canceled or discharged, except by written instrument executed by all parties.  No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  No waiver of any breach of any provision shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other provision, nor shall any waiver be implied from any course of dealing between the parties.  No extension of time for performance of any obligations or other acts hereunder or under any other agreement shall be deemed to be an extension of the time for performance of any other obligations or any other acts.  The rights and remedies of the parties under this Agreement are in addition to all other rights and remedies, at law or equity, that they may have against each other.


 


10.5           Binding Effect; Assignment.  The rights and obligations of this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns.  Nothing expressed or implied herein shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable rights hereunder.  The rights and obligations of this Agreement may not be assigned by Mabwe or the Selling Parties without the prior written consent of the other party.


 


10.6           Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  A telecopy signature of any party shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as an original signature.


 


10.7           Interpretation.  When a reference is made in this Agreement to an article, section, paragraph, clause, schedule or exhibit, such reference shall be deemed to be to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.  The headings contained herein and on the schedules are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or the schedules.  Whenever the words "include," "includes" or "including" are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words "without limitation."


 


10.8           Construction.  The parties agree and acknowledge that they have jointly participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.  In the event of an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumptions or burdens of proof shall arise favoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.  Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise.  If any party has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.  The mere listing (or inclusion of copy) of a document or other item shall not be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein (unless the representation or warranty relates solely to the existence of the document or other items itself).


 




  





-13-











  











10.9           Governing Law; Severability.  This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed for all purposes by the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed and to be wholly performed within such State.  If any word, phrase, sentence, clause, section, subsection or provision of this Agreement as applied to any party or to any circumstance is adjudged by a court to be invalid or unenforceable, the same will in no way affect any other circumstance or the validity or enforceability of any other word, phrase, sentence, clause, section, subsection or  provision of this Agreement.  If any provision of this Agreement, or any part thereof, is held to be unenforceable because of the duration of such provision or the area covered thereby, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or area of such provision, and/or to delete specific words or phrases, and in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced.


 


10.10           Arm's Length Negotiations.  Each party herein expressly represents and warrants to all other parties hereto that (a) before executing this Agreement, said party has fully informed itself of the terms, contents, conditions and effects of this Agreement; (b) said party has relied solely and completely upon its own judgment in executing this Agreement; (c) said party has had the opportunity to seek and has obtained the advice of counsel before executing this Agreement; (d) said party has acted voluntarily and of its own free will in executing this Agreement; (e) said party is not acting under duress, whether economic or physical, in executing this Agreement; and (f) this Agreement is the result of arm's length negotiations conducted by and among the parties and their respective counsel.


 


10.11           Waiver of Jury Trial. IN ANY CIVIL ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM, OR PROCEEDING, WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, WHICH ARISES OUT OF, CONCERNS OR RELATES TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER, THE PERFORMANCE HEREOF OR THE RELATIONSHIP CREATED HEREBY, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, TRIAL SHALL BE TO A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION AND NOT TO A JURY.  EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES  ANY RIGHT (STATUTORY, CONSTITUTIONAL, COMMON LAW OR OTHERWISE) IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY.  ANY PARTY MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE WAIVER OF THE OTHER PARTIES' RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.  NO PARTY HAS MADE OR RELIED UPON ANY ORAL REPRESENTATIONS BY ANY OTHER PARTY REGARDING THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION.  EACH PARTY HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THE EFFECT OF THIS JURY WAIVER PROVISION.


 


10.12           Arbitration.  Upon demand of any party hereto, whether made before or after institution of any judicial proceeding, any claim or controversy arising out of, or relating to this Agreement ("Disputes") between parties hereto shall be resolved by binding arbitration conducted under and governed by the Commercial Financial Disputes Arbitration Rules (the "Arbitration Rules") of the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") and the Federal Arbitration Act. Disputes may include, without limitation, breach of contract claims, tort claims, counterclaims, disputes as to whether a matter is subject to arbitration, claims brought as class actions and other claims arising from this Agreement.  A judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  A hearing shall begin within ninety (90) days of demand for arbitration and all hearings shall be concluded within one hundred twenty (120) days of demand for arbitration. These time limitations may not be extended unless a party shows cause for extension and then no more than a total extension of sixty (60) days.  Arbitrators shall be licensed attorneys selected from the Commercial Financial Dispute Arbitration Panel of the AAA.  The place of the arbitration shall be Orlando, Florida. The parties do not waive applicable Federal or state substantive law except as provided in this Agreement.


 


10.13           No Reliance on Promises Not Set Forth Herein.  No promise or representation has been made to Fonon or the Shareholder to induce them to enter into this Agreement that is not set forth in this Agreement and each of Fonon and the Shareholder executed this Agreement freely, voluntarily and without reliance upon any statement or representation by Mabwe except as set forth in this Agreement.
