STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the 19th day of November, 2014, by and among the entities listed as Buyer(s) on the signature page and Schedule B attached hereto (collectively the “Buyers”, and each individually a “Buyer”) and the persons listed as Sellers on the signature page and Schedule A attached hereto (collectively the “Sellers,” and each individually a “Seller”).
RECITALS:
This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions upon which Sellers are selling to the Buyers and the Buyers are purchasing from the Sellers 2,308,343 (the “Shares”), representing approximately 78.3% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Hotel Outsource Management International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).
NOW THEREFORE, in Consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:
I. SALE OF THE SHARES
1.01
Shares being Sold. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Sellers are selling and transferring the Shares to the Buyers at the closing provided for in Section 1.05 hereof (the “Closing”), free and clear of all liens, charges, or encumbrances of whatsoever nature.
1.02 Escrow Agent. Parties hereto agree that the Seller’s law firm of Xxxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx, LLP (the “Escrow Agent”) located at 00 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 shall act as the Escrow Agent for the transfer of the Funds and the Shares pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A.
1.03
Consideration. An aggregate total of $340,000 shall be due and payable under the terms of this Agreement in conjunction with purchase of the Shares as well as for the payment of certain consultants. Prior to the date of execution of this Agreement, at the time of execution of a letter of intent between the parties relating to the transaction described herein, the Buyers deposited the sum of U.S. $40,000 to the account of the Escrow Agent to be held pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A. The parties hereby acknowledge that prior to the execution of this Agreement, Buyer authorized the Escrow Agent to release $5,000 out of the initial $40,000 xxxxxxx money deposit to Sellers solely for the purpose of use by Sellers for payment of costs incurred by the Company in conjunction with preparation of the Company’s report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2014. Buyer has agreed that it will pay $2,500 toward the cost of the Form 10-Q, so upon Closing, Buyer shall wire an additional $2,500 to Seller to cover said payment. Upon Closing, Buyer will wire an additional $50,000 to Escrow Agent. In the event the transaction does not close, and
1
provided that the failure to close is not the result of a default by Sellers under this Agreement and/or any of the representations or warranties herein, the $5,000 released from escrow shall be treated as non-refundable xxxxxxx money and be forfeited by Buyer. Within 5 business days of signing of this Agreement, Buyers shall deposit the additional sum of U.S. $160,000 to the account of the Escrow Agent to be held pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A, so that the total amount to be held by Escrow Agent shall be $200,000. Prior to Closing, Buyers shall deposit an additional sum of $60,000 with Frascona, Joiner, Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxxx, P.C., counsel for the Buyers, of which $50,000 shall be deposited with the Escrow Agent at the time of Closing. The remaining $80,000 due and payable under the terms of this Agreement shall be held and dispersed by Fullsino Investments Limited, a consultant to the transaction, to cover certain consultancy and professional fees in relation to the transaction contemplated herein.
1.04
Delivery of Shares. Prior to Closing, the Sellers shall deliver to the Escrow Agent named in Section 1.02 certificates representing the Shares, duly endorsed in blank and otherwise in form acceptable for transfer on the books of the Company or accompanied by stock powers signed in blank with medallion signature guarantees.
1.05
Closing. The Closing of the transactions provided for herein shall take place within five (5) business days following filing by the Company, in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.01(e) hereof, of its report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2014, or at such other date and time as the parties may mutually agree in writing. If Closing does not take place on or before December 1, 2014, this Agreement shall be null and void and all remaining escrowed funds shall be returned to the Buyer and all escrowed Shares shall be returned to the Seller unless the Closing is extended by the parties, in writing. However, if the Company has filed its report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2014 in a timely manner on or before November 14, 2014, or November 19, 2014 if a timely Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 has been filed by the Company, and the Closing has not taken place within five (5) business days following such filing, and the parties have not agreed in writing to extend the date of Closing, provided Sellers are not in default under this Agreement and/or any of the representations or warranties herein, then Sellers and Buyers hereby agree that Escrow Agent shall be authorized to release to Sellers the remaining balance of the funds then held by the Escrow Agent ($200,000), as well as the escrowed Shares. Alternatively, in the event the Company fails to file its report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2014 in a timely manner on or before November 14, 2014, or November 19, 2014 if a timely Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 has been filed by the Company, then the Buyer in the Buyer’s sole subjective discretion may elect to terminate this Agreement, in which case the remaining balance of the funds then held by the Escrow Agent shall be returned to the Buyer and the escrowed Shares shall be returned to the Seller, or Buyer may elect to continue with the transaction contemplated herein. These provisions are included in the Escrow Agreement, as well.
1.06
Delivery of Share Certificates. At the Closing, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Buyers certificates representing the Shares, endorsed in blank and otherwise in
2
form acceptable for transfer on the books of the Company, or accompanied by stock powers signed in blank with medallion signature guarantees.
1.07
Payments/Deliveries at Closing. At the Closing, Sellers shall deliver to the Escrow Agent and to Buyer copies of invoices for legal and accounting fees, and other bona fide costs and expenses incurred by the Company in conjunction with preparation and filing of its report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2014. For all amounts over $5,000, Buyer and Seller shall split the bona fide fees, costs and expenses related to the 10Q evenly between them, up to a maximum cost of $10,000, so in no event shall Buyer be responsible for paying more than $2,500 toward the costs related to the 10-Q. Seller estimates that the total costs of the 10Q total $10,500. As a result, Buyer has agreed to wire $2,500 to Seller at the Closing. The Escrow Agent shall disburse any funds deposited by Buyer for payment of fees, costs and expenses for direct payment of those items, and shall disburse the remaining balance of funds from escrow to the persons and in the amounts shown on schedule 1.07. The Buyer shall wire an additional $50,000 to Escrow Agent at the Closing. The remaining $80,000 shall be held and dispersed by Fullsino Investments Limited, a consultant to the transaction, to cover certain consultancy and professional fees in relation to the transaction contemplated herein.

The Closing (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) shall take place within five (5) business days following filing by the Company, in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.01(e) of the Stock Purchase Agreement, of its report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2014, or at such other date and time as the parties may mutually agree in writing. If Closing does not take place on or before December 1, 2014, the Stock Purchase Agreement shall be null and void and Escrow Holder shall return all remaining Escrowed Funds to the Purchaser and all Escrowed Shares to the Seller unless the Closing is extended by the parties, in writing. However, if the Company has filed its report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2014 in a timely manner on or before November 14, 2014, or November 19, 2014 if a timely Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 has been filed by the Company, and the Closing has not taken place within five (5) business days following such filing, and the parties have not agreed in writing to extend the date of Closing, then Sellers and Purchasers hereby agree that Escrow Agent shall be authorized to release to Sellers the remaining balance of the funds then held by the Escrow Agent , as well as the escrowed Shares, without any liability to Escrow Agent. Alternatively, in the event the Company fails to file its report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2014 in a timely manner on or before November 14, 2014, or November 19, 2014 if a timely Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 has been filed by the Company, then the Purchaser in the Purchaser’s sole subjective discretion may elect to terminate this Agreement, in which case the remaining balance of the funds then held by Escrow Agent shall be returned to the Purchaser and the escrowed Shares shall be returned to the Seller, or Purchaser may elect to continue with the transaction contemplated herein
(b)
The parties hereby acknowledge that prior to the execution of this Agreement, Purchaser authorized the Escrow Holder to release $5,000 out of the initial $40,000 xxxxxxx money deposit to Sellers solely for the purpose of use by Sellers for payment of costs incurred by the Company in conjunction with preparation of the Company’s report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2014. Upon Closing, the $5,000 released from escrow shall be credited toward the purchase price for the Shares. In the event the transaction does not close, and provided that the failure to close is not the result of a default by Sellers under this Agreement and/or any of the representations or warranties herein, the $5,000 released from escrow shall be treated as non-refundable xxxxxxx money and be forfeited by Purchaser.
(c)
At the Closing, Sellers shall deliver to the Escrow Agent and to Buyer copies of invoices for legal and accounting fees, and other bona fide costs and expenses incurred by the Company in conjunction with preparation and filing of its report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2014. For all amounts over $5,000, Buyer and Seller shall split the bona fide fees, costs and expenses related to the 10Q evenly between them, up to a maximum cost of $10,000, so in no event shall Buyer be responsible for paying more than $2,500 toward the costs related to the 10-Q. Seller estimates that the total costs of the 10Q total $10,500. As a result, Buyer has agreed to wire $2,500 to Seller at the Closing. The Escrow Agent shall disburse any funds deposited by Buyer for payment of fees, costs and expenses for direct payment of those items, and shall disburse the remaining balance of funds from escrow to the persons and in the amounts shown on schedule 1.07. The Buyer shall wire an additional $52,500 (representing
19
$50,000 of the purchase price plus $2,500 for expenses related to the Company’s 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2014) to Escrow Agent at the Closing. The remaining $80,000 shall be held and dispersed by Fullsino Investments Limited, a consultant to the transaction, to cover certain consultancy and professional fees in relation to the transaction contemplated in the Stock Purchase Agreement, and shall not be part of this Escrow Agreement.
