WHEREAS, one of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, contemporaneously with this Agreement, is entering into a Stock Exchange Agreement (the “Stock Exchange Agreement”) to purchase all of the capital stock of Liberty Electric Cars Ltd., an England and Wales private company limited and LEC 2, Limited, an England and Wales private company limited (the “Liberty Shares”).
WHEREAS, Buyer desires to purchase from Seller and Seller desires to sell to Buyer up to one hundred thousand (120,000) shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred stock (the “Shares”) pursuant to the terms hereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.
Share Price. The price shall be $5.00 per Share, (the “Share Price”).
2.
Incremental Purchase.
a.
Buyer shall have the right to purchase up to ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THOUSAND (120,000) shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred stock from Seller (the “Shares”). Buyer shall have the right to purchase the Shares in increments of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1,000). Buyer agrees to purchase at least 10,000 Shares per month (“Minimum Monthly Share Purchase”). For the $50,000 Minimum Monthly Share Purchase, $40,000 of that amount is earmarked to be sent to the LEC Entities to fund their operations and growth, and $10,000 of that amount is earmarked to fund the costs associated with GACR being a public company.
b.
For each increment of money paid to Seller by Buyer (“Incremental Payment”), Seller shall sell, assign, transfer and convey to Buyer, a number of Shares equal to the Incremental Payment divided by the Share Price; so, for example, an Incremental Payment by Buyer to Seller of $10,000 would result in the purchase of 2,000 Shares.
c.
Subsequent to each incremental purchase of Shares, as described in Article 2.b., Seller shall assign, transfer and convey to Buyer, together with all rights and benefits of any kind or nature, including but not limited to, the right to vote the Shares so purchased and receive dividends if any, arising on or after the date hereof, and Buyer accepts such conveyance and assumes the obligations attendant to being the lawful owner and holder of the Shares with respect to all matters arising on or after the date hereof.
d.
Upon receipt of the Incremental Payment, Seller shall duly endorse and tender to Buyer the certificate evidencing the Shares so purchased.
