in reliance on the representations, warranties, covenants and conditions herein contained, the
Company hereby agree to sell, assign and deliver to CornerWorld the Shares, in exchange for the
Acquisition Shares on the Closing Date.
2.2 Recapitalization. Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Company
shall cause its shareholders owning an aggregate of (i) 7,296,000 of the then outstanding
11,400,000 free trading shares, and (ii) all of the outstanding 62,700,000 restricted Shares of
the Company, to deposit such shares, along with duly executed stock powers, in escrow with
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Escrow Agent”) pending the payment of the
Purchase Price, as defined in Section 2.3 of this Agreement, and execution of this Agreement.
The
balance of the 11,400,000 outstanding shares, being an aggregate of 4,104,000 free trading shares, shall remain outstanding, with (i) 3,000,000 shares being deposited in the name of Dynasty
Capital LLC at an account at Xxxxxx Xxxxx & Co., Inc. or such other brokerage firm as may be
designated by CornerWorld, as further provided for in Section 2.3 herein, and (ii) 1,104,000 of
such shares being held in escrow by the Escrow Agent, or at such other place as may be mutually
agreed upon, pending (i) payment of the Purchase Price and (ii) the Closing of this Agreement or
termination of this transaction.
Upon payment of the Purchase Price and the Closing of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall
release the Shares to the Shareholders. The holders of such 1,004,000 free trading shares of the
Company agree to restrict the resale of such shares for a period of six (6) months following the
payment of the Purchase Price. Such persons further agree to only sell such shares in limited
amounts for the one (1) year period following the initial six (6) month restricted sale period
such that their sales are not to exceed twenty five percent (25%) of such shares in every three
(3) month period, although the Company may waive any such restrictions.
In order to assure compliance with these agreed upon contractual restrictions, an appropriate
restrictive legend reflecting such agreement shall be placed upon the certificates representing
such shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, in its sole discretion, at any time
following payment of the Purchase Price, agree to waive the foregoing restrictions on resale of
the 700,000 shares.
2.3 Purchase Price. The purchase price for the purchase of the Acquisition Shares shall
be the Shares, which shall be issued in accordance with Exhibit A attached hereto,
following
6
satisfaction of the Purchase Price (as defined below) to be paid to the shareholders of the
Company and the completion of the Recapitalization, is to occur as follows:
(a) | 3,000,000 of the outstanding free trading Shares of the Company shall be deposited in the name of Dynasty Capital LLC (“Dynasty”) or a Dynasty designee at an account at Xxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co., Inc. or such other brokerage firm as may be designated by the Parties, with such account to be managed by a mutually agreed upon, un-affiliated third party. Such 3,000,000 shall thereafter be sold for a price of not less than $1.05 per share (unless such $1.05 minimum sale price is waived by CornerWorld in its sole and absolute discretion) and the proceeds of up to $975,000 (the “Purchase Price”) shall be delivered to the holders of such shares as the funds are received. | ||
(b) | Should the proceeds from the sale of the shares total at least $500,000 but still be less than the Purchase Price within sixty (60) days of the execution of this Agreement (the “Purchase Price Closing Period”), then and in such event Dynasty or a Dynasty designee and the Company agree to extend the period during which they shall continue to make sales of the shares towards satisfying the payment of the Purchase Price for an additional ninety (90) days period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CornerWorld shall have the option, at any time during the Purchase Price Payment Period (including the time during with such period may be extended), to deliver the balance of the Purchase Price to the Company in cash and to receive the remaining unsold Shares, together with duly executed stock powers, for disposition. If, however, the proceeds of the sale of the 3,000,000 Shares exceed the Purchase Price, Dynasty and the Company agree, on behalf of themselves and the Company’s shareholders, to contribute such excess funds to the Company. | ||
(c) | In the event that the Company does not receive proceeds from the sale of the shares totaling the Purchase Price within the Purchase Price Payment Period (as such period may be extended as provided above), then the Company and its shareholders shall have the right to cause the Escrow Agent to return all of the shares deposited by them in escrow, retain all funds received from the sale of shares and to have the transaction unwound with each party taking away what they contributed to the proposed transaction, at their original basis of contribution to effect no gain or loss to either party. |
2.4 Adherence with Applicable Securities Laws. The Company agrees that it is acquiring
the Acquisition Shares for investment purposes and will not offer, sell or otherwise transfer,
pledge or hypothecate any of the Acquisition Shares issued to it (other than pursuant to an
effective Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”) directly or indirectly unless:
(a) | the sale is to CornerWorld; | ||
(b) | the sale is made pursuant to the exemption from registration under the Securities Act, provided by Rule 144 thereunder; or | ||
(c) | the Acquisition Shares are sold in a transaction that does not require registration under the Securities Act or any applicable United States state laws and regulations governing the offer and sale of securities, and the vendor has furnished to the Company an opinion of counsel to that effect or such other written opinion as may be reasonably required by |
7
the Company. |
The Shareholders acknowledge that the certificates representing the Acquisition Shares shall bear
the following legend:

The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Claim. |

(c) | The failure of the Indemnified Party to give reasonably prompt notice of any Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate actual loss and prejudice as a result of such failure. |
