ARTICLE III
ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES
3.1 Assumed Liabilities. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser shall assume, pay, perform and discharge when due, effective as of the Sale Date and thereafter, any and all liabilities as set forth on Schedule "B" hereto (collectively "Assumed Liabilities").
3.2 Purchaser will, upon the Closing Date, assume the existing obligation of Versifi regarding the legal fees, administrative fees and other fees associated with, and necessary to, the wind down, or termination, of the AdapativeInfo Liquidating Trust. Such wind down, or termination, and the fees associated therewith are made pursuant to Section 8 of the Trust Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit "B". Additionally, on the Closing Date herein, the wind down and termination of the AdaptiveInfo Liquidating Trust, including the manner of, reasons for and timing of the wind down and termination, has been agreed to by those who are, and were, party to the AdaptiveInfo Liquidating Trust, including those defined as "Trustees" or "Shareholders" therein.
3.2.1 Purchaser's assumption of the obligation referenced in section 3.2 above, i.e., Versifi's obligation regarding the legal fees, administrative fees and other fees associated with, and necessary to, the wind down, or termination, of the AdapativeInfo Liquidating Trust, shall be limited to and not exceed fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000.00).
3.3 Purchaser expressly does not assume the liability of any of Seller's tax, income or otherwise, whether Federal, State, Local, or other governmental entity or subdivision, or whether past, present or future. As such, said tax is to remain the liability of Seller, unless otherwise expressly provided for herein.
4.1 Purchase Price. Subject to any deductions and prorations and upon the terms of this Agreement, in consideration of the aforesaid sale, transfer, conveyance, and assignment, at the Closing, the total consideration to be paid by the Purchaser and which shall be delivered or caused to be delivered to the Sellers in full payment for the Purchased Assets, the amount of 1,200,000 common shares, such shares to be issued under Regulation 144 of the Rules and Regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Acts and to be subject to certain trade restrictions thereto (the "Purchase Price").
(a) Purchaser acknowledges that on the Closing Date the common shares of the Purchaser shall be trading at a minimum price of USD$1.00 per share (the "Minimum Price").
(b) If the Purchaser's shares are not trading at a minimum price of $1.00 on the Closing Date, a condition to the Seller's obligation to closing the transaction shall be the Purchaser's closing on a fund raising of a minimum of $750,000 USD of an anticipated $1,350,000 USD initial financing.
(c) Seller has acquired the consent and agreement of all of its existing shareholders to hold its shares, i.e., those provided for in Section 4.1, herein, for a minimum of twelve (12) months from the Closing Date at which time, such Amazing shares may be unrestricted. The purpose and intent of requiring the Seller's shareholders to hold the restricted Amazing shares for a minimum of twelve (12) months (i.e., without selling the Amazing shares) provided for in Section 4.1, herein, is that at the time of the Closing Date, it will be difficult to value the Amazing shares provided for in Section 4.1, herein, since such shares are, and will be, restricted (Section 144 stock) in a "pinksheet" company.
5
(d) All parties agree that if in twelve (12) months from the Closing Date, herein, the Amazing shares become unrestricted, there is a likelihood that the Amazing shares could be valued more objectively. As such, the expiration of the twelve (12) month holding period, should establish a better occasion to value the Amazing shares and thus a more superior opportunity to wind down, or terminate, the AdaptiveInfo Liquidating Trust, under Section 3.2, herein, and proportionately distribute the Amazing shares under Section 4.1, herein, than at the Closing Date, herein.
(e) Purchaser also agrees to grant 'piggyback registration rights' (i.e. the filing process a company performs in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regulations prior to offering a new issue to the public, enabling the SEC to confirm that the issue meets all regulatory requirements), if Purchaser completes a financing of at least ten million dollars ($10,000,000.00) involving the issuance of registered securities. As such, permitting Seller's shareholders the piggyback registration will allow the shareholders of the restricted common shares in Amazing to have their Amazing shares registered with the SEC.
(f) In addition to the Purchase Price, Seller shall have the right to appoint one director to serve on the Purchaser's board of directors.
4.2 Adjustments to Purchase Price. The Purchase Price will be adjusted as follows:
(a) Adjustments on a pro rata basis as of the Closing Date will be made for all prepaid expenses, accrued expenses (including real and personal property taxes), prepaid income, rental and customer prepayments, and accounts receivable related to the Business, all as determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, and to reflect the principle that all expenses and income attributable to the Business for the period prior to the Closing Date are for the account of Seller, and all expenses and income attributable to the Business for the period on and after the Closing Date are for the account of the Purchaser.
(b) All advance payments to, or funds of third parties on deposit with, Seller as of the Closing Date, relating to the Business, including advance payments and deposits by customers served by the Business, shall be assumed by the Purchaser and credited to the account of the Purchaser.

(c) If the indemnifying Party, within a reasonable time after notice of any such claim, fails to defend the indemnified Party against which such claim has been asserted, the indemnified Party shall (upon further notice to the indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise, or settlement of such claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the indemnifying Party, at the indemnifying Party's expense, subject to the right of the indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such claim at any time prior to settlement, compromise, or final determination thereof.
(d) If, in the opinion of the indemnified Party's legal counsel, a conflict of interest with respect to any claim exists between the indemnified Party against which a claim has been asserted and the indemnifying Party, then such indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with respect to such claim; provided that the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying Party.
10.4 Reliance on Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements. Notwithstanding any
investigation by Purchaser, or any information obtained pursuant thereto, Purchaser shall be entitled to rely upon the representations,
warranties, covenants, and agreements of Seller contained in this Agreement or any Transaction Document as to compliance with or performance by Seller of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the Transaction Documents.
10.5 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties in this Agreement
and in any other document delivered in connection herewith shall survive the Closing for a period of six
(6) months; provided that such representations and warranties shall survive as to any claim properly made prior to the termination of such period
until such claim is fully paid or otherwise resolved by the Parties hereto or by a court of competent jurisdiction; and provided, further, that it is
specifically understood that the expiration of any survival period or the exhaustion of any indemnity hereunder shall not have the effect of or be construed as an assumption by Purchaser or any of its
Affiliates of any liability of Seller, the Purchaser having agreed to assume only the Assumed Liabilities.
11.1 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or changed only in writing executed by the Party against which enforcement of the amendment, modification or change is sought.
11.2 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any right created hereby is assignable by any Party
hereto, except by (i) Purchaser to a direct or indirect wholly owned
subsidiary of Purchaser and (ii) by Seller, pursuant to any financings consummated by Seller, and provided that the rights and remedies of
Purchaser hereunder are not materially impaired by such assignment. This Agreement and the rights,
12
interests, and obligations hereunder shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, estates, devisees, successors, and permitted assigns.
11.3 Costs and Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each
Party shall bear its own costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and costs), and
each Party agrees to pay the costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, incurred by the prevailing Party in litigation or other proceeding to enforce or interpret this
Agreement.
11.4 Notices. All notices or other communications hereunder shall be deemed to have been duly given
and made if in writing and if served by personal delivery upon the Party for
whom it is intended, if delivered by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by a national courier service, to the person at the address set forth below, or such other address as

entire agreement among the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters.
11.6 Headings. The heading references herein and in the table of contents hereto are for convenience
purposes only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement, and shall not be
deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
11.7 Specific Performance. Each Party hereto acknowledges that money damages would be both
incalculable and an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by such Parties and that
any such breach would cause the other Parties hereto irreparable harm. Accordingly, each Party hereto also agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this
Agreement by such Party, the other Parties hereto shall be entitled to equitable relief without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, including in the form of injunctions and orders for
specific performance.

governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of
Nevada.
11.9 Risk of Loss. The risk of any loss or damage to the Assets shall be borne by Seller for all
periods prior to Closing. In the event that any such loss or damage shall be
sufficiently substantial so as to preclude and prevent resumption of normal operations of any material portion of the Business or the replacement or restoration of the lost or damaged property prior
to the Closing Date, Seller shall immediately notify Purchaser in writing of the inability to resume normal operations or to replace or restore the lost or damaged property, and Purchaser shall have
the right to terminate this Agreement upon ten (10) days notice to Seller. If no such election is timely made by Purchaser, insurance proceeds payable as a result of the occurrence of the event
resulting in such loss or damage shall be delivered by Seller to Purchaser at Closing, or the rights thereto shall be assigned by Seller to Purchaser if not yet paid over to Purchaser.
