Exhibit 10.3


 




AGREEMENT AND RELEASE













THIS AGREEMENT is entered into on this 31st day of May, 2007, by Grifco International, Inc., a Nevada corporation with its principal place of business in Conroe, Texas (“Grifco”), James Dial (a.k.a. Jim Dial), a resident of Conroe, Texas (“Dial”), Coil Tubing Technology, Inc., a Nevada corporation with its principal place of business in Spring, Texas (“CTBG”), Coil Tubing Technology Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of CTBG (“CTT Holdings”), and Jerry Swinford a resident of Spring, Texas (“Swinford”).







WHEREAS, in an effort to enhance the profitability and ultimately the return to shareholders related to its coil tubing business, in late 2005, Grifco acquired IPMC Holdings Inc., a public company, and via a merger formed CTBG. In connection with this transaction, Grifco acquired 75,000,000 shares of the then approximate 100,000,000 outstanding shares of common stock of CTBG. Grifco anticipated that subject to obtaining audited financial statements for CTBG, its shares would be distributed to its shareholders (resulting in a “spin-off”).







WHEREAS, difficulties were encountered in finalizing and effecting the distribution of CTBG shares to Grifco shareholders. In particular, the auditor refused to issue an audit opinion regarding CTBG because IPMC had failed to file appropriate reports with the SEC and it was impossible to obtain the necessary information in order to bring IPMC (now CTBG) into compliance with those reporting requirements.







WHEREAS, in order to provide Swinford with substantial control over CTBG and to reflect his continuing efforts on behalf of CTBG, 75,000,000 shares of CTBG common stock were issued to Swinford.







WHEREAS, various representations were made in the market place regarding the number of issued and outstanding shares of CTBG.







WHEREAS, Grifco has made various contributions of capital to CTBG in part to pay for additional expenses associated with the difficulties associated with the IPMC acquisition, damages done to CTBG’s equipment while the equipment was in Grifco’s control and to fund operations while alternatives were evaluated and developed to allow CTBG to be a separate, distinct reporting public company.







WHEREAS, the parties have developed a two part plan to effect the intent of the initial acquisition of IPMC. In the very near term, Grifco will distribute its 75,000,000 shares of CTBG to its shareholders. However, because of the reporting difficulties associated with CTBG and in order to allow shareholders to fully realize the value of the coil tubing business, CTT Holdings will file an appropriate registration statement and attempt to register the distribution of CTT Holdings shares to CTBG shareholders. The result of these combined distributions is that the shareholders of CTBG will receive shares of CTT Holdings, a fully reporting company.







WHEREAS, to reflect Swinford’s continuing efforts on behalf of CTBG and to allow him to maintain control over CTBG, its operations and to ease the various corporate approvals needed to effect the transactions indicated above, on May 7, 2007, CTBG’s Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. Such Preferred Stock has the right to vote fifty-one percent (51%) of the shareholder vote on all matters put to a vote of the shareholders. As such Preferred Stock is intended to allow Swinford to control CTBG during the time necessary to effect the CTT Holdings’ share distribution and his efforts will be focused
on the operation and development of the coil tubing business, Grifco has expressed an interest in acquiring these shares of Preferred Stock.




 




  





  











  







 





WHEREAS, there have been a number of agreements entered into and arrangements made between the parties, not all of which have been fully documented or approved. As a result, this agreement is intended to clarify those arrangements and establish the parties future rights and obligations.










NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and undertakings set forth in this Agreement and Release, and for other good and valuable consideration, the Parties agree as follows:













	  	
1.

	
CTBG will issue to Grifco 1,000,000 shares Series B Preferred Stock. Series B Preferred Stock will have no voting rights and will not participate in the CTT Holdings share distribution. Series B Preferred Stock, however, will be convertible into 20,000,000 shares of CTBG common stock if Grifco exercises the option to purchase the Series A Preferred Stock held by Swinford, as described herein below.
















	  	
2.

	
During the “Option Period” (defined herein below), Swinford hereby grants Grifco the option to purchase the Series A Preferred Stock he currently holds for $100. The “Option Period” is a two (2) year period which starts when Swinford determines that he no longer desires or needs to hold the Preferred Stock. It is anticipated that the inception of the Option Period will occur after the CTT Holdings distribution has been completed and there remains no items which require or would be facilitated by Swinford retaining the Preferred Stock. It is further anticipated, especially should the CTT Holdings share distribution not be consummated, that the Option Period will be started once Swinford has
determined that he no longer requires the Preferred Stock and/or control over CTBG. Notice of the inception of such period will be provided to Grifco in writing and Swinford will not unreasonably withhold establishment of the inception of the Option Period.
















	  	
3.

	
Swinford will cancel the 75,000,000 shares of common stock issued to him by CTBG.








 





	  	
4.

c.
