respective Boards of Directors of Pubco and the Company have determined that an
acquisition of the Company’s outstanding shares by Pubco through a voluntary
share exchange with the Selling Shareholder (the “Exchange”), upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, would be fair and in the

have approved such Exchange, pursuant to which shares of capital stock of the
Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (as
defined in Section 1.04) and all securities convertible or exchangeable into
capital stock of the Company (the “Shares”) will be exchanged
(including by reservation for future issuances) for the right to receive
15,000,000 shares of common stock of Pubco (the “Exchange
Shares”).
B. At
the Closing, the Selling Shareholder’s ownership interest in Pubco shall
represent no less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the issued and outstanding
shares of Pubco.
C. Pubco,
XYT, the Company, and the Selling Shareholder, desire to make certain
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the
Exchange and also to prescribe various conditions to the Exchange.

conducted. Pubco is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is
in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the
ownership or leasing of its properties makes such qualification or licensing
necessary, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified
or licensed (individually or in the aggregate) would not have a material adverse
effect with respect to Pubco. Shares of common stock of Pubco, par
value $0.001 (“Pubco Common
Stock”), trade on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “FCPG.”
(b) Subsidiaries. Pubco

shares of Pubco Common Stock will be issued and outstanding as of the date of
this Agreement and no shares of Pubco Common Stock are issuable upon the
exercise of outstanding warrants, convertible notes, options and
otherwise. Except as set forth above, no shares of capital stock or
other equity securities of Pubco are issued, reserved for issuance or

and all shares which may be issued pursuant to this Agreement will be, when
issued, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, not
subject to preemptive rights, and issued in compliance with all applicable state
and federal laws concerning the issuance of securities. Except as set forth
above, there are no outstanding bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness
or other securities of Pubco having the right to vote (or convertible into, or
exchangeable for, securities having the right to vote). Except as set
forth above, there are no outstanding securities, options, warrants, calls,
rights, commitments, agreements, arrangements or undertakings of any kind to
which Pubco is a party or by which any of them is bound obligating Pubco to

(d) Corporate Authority;
Noncontravention. Pubco
has all requisite corporate and other power and authority to enter into this
Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The
execution and delivery of this Agreement by Pubco and the consummation by Pubco
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been (or at Closing will
have been) duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of
Pubco. This Agreement has been duly executed and when delivered by
Pubco, shall constitute a valid and binding obligation of Pubco, enforceable
against Pubco in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity.
The execution and delivery of this Agreement do not, and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and compliance with the provisions
of this Agreement will not, conflict with, or result in any breach or violation
of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give
rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of or “put” right
with respect to any obligation or to loss of a material benefit under, or result
in the creation of any lien upon any of the properties or assets of Pubco under,
(i) its articles of incorporation, bylaws or other charter documents of Pubco,
(ii) any loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or
other agreement, instrument, permit, concession, franchise or license applicable
to Pubco, its properties or assets, or (iii) subject to the governmental filings

decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule, regulation or arbitration award
applicable to Pubco, its properties or assets, other than, in the case of
clauses (ii) and (iii), any such conflicts, breaches, violations, defaults,
rights, losses or liens that individually or in the aggregate could not have a
material adverse effect with respect to Pubco or could not prevent, hinder or
materially delay the ability of Pubco to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
13
(e) Government
Authorization. No
consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or
filing with, or notice to, any Governmental Entity, is required by or with
respect to Pubco in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement
by Pubco, or the consummation by Pubco of the transactions contemplated hereby,
except, with respect to this Agreement, any filings under the Nevada Statutes,
the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.
(f) SEC Documents; Undisclosed
Liabilities. Pubco
has timely filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents
as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and Pubco has delivered
or made available to the Company all reports, schedules, forms, statements and
other documents filed with the SEC (collectively, and in each case including all
exhibits and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein,
the “Pubco SEC
Documents”). As of their respective dates, the Pubco SEC
Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and
regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to such Pubco SEC
Documents, and none of the Pubco SEC Documents (including any and all
consolidated financial statements included therein) as of such date contained
any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. Except to the extent revised or superseded by a
subsequent filing with the SEC (a copy of which has been provided to the Company
prior to the date of this Agreement), none of the Pubco SEC Documents, to the
knowledge of Pubco’s management, contains any untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state any material fact or omitted to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. The consolidated financial statements of Pubco included
in such Pubco SEC Documents comply as to form in all material respects with
applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of
the SEC with respect thereto, have been prepared in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (except, in the case of unaudited
consolidated quarterly statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC) applied
on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in
the notes thereto) and fairly present the consolidated financial position of
Pubco and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the
consolidated results of operations and changes in cash flows for the periods
then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited quarterly statements, to normal
year-end audit adjustments as determined by Pubco’s independent
accountants). Except as set forth in the Pubco SEC Documents, at the
date of the most recent audited financial statements of Pubco included in the
Pubco SEC Documents, Pubco has not incurred any liabilities or obligations of
any nature (whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise) which,
individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect with respect to Pubco.
(g) Absence of Certain Changes
or Events. Except
as disclosed in the Pubco SEC Documents or as set forth on Schedule 2.02(g),
since the date of the most recent financial statements included in the Pubco SEC
Documents, Pubco has conducted its business only in the ordinary course
consistent with past practice in light of its current business circumstances,
and there is not and has not been any:

materially delay the ability of Pubco to consummate the transactions

case, material to Pubco, other than transactions and commitments in the ordinary
course consistent with past practices and those contemplated by this
Agreement;
(vii) labor
dispute, other than routine, individual grievances, or, to the knowledge of

prepayment or discharge of liability other than in the ordinary course of

of Pubco;
(xi) damage,
destruction or loss having, or reasonably expected to have, a material adverse
effect on Pubco;

condition, event or occurrence which individually or in the aggregate could

or commitment to do any of the foregoing.
15
(h) Certain
Fees. No
brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by Pubco to any
broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent, investment
banker, bank or other person with respect to the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement.
(i) Litigation; Labor Matters;
Compliance with Laws.
(i) There
is no suit, action or proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge
of Pubco, threatened against or affecting Pubco or any basis for any such suit,
action, proceeding or investigation that, individually or in the aggregate,
could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect with respect to
Pubco or prevent, hinder or materially delay the ability of Pubco to consummate
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor is there any judgment,
decree, injunction, rule or order of any Governmental Entity or arbitrator
outstanding against Pubco having, or which, insofar as reasonably could be
foreseen by Pubco, in the future could have, any such effect.
(ii) Pubco
is not a party to, or bound by, any collective bargaining agreement, contract or
other agreement or understanding with a labor union or labor organization, nor
is it the subject of any proceeding asserting that it has committed an unfair
labor practice or seeking to compel it to bargain with any labor organization as
to wages or conditions of employment nor is there any strike, work stoppage or
other labor dispute involving it pending or, to its knowledge, threatened, any
of which could have a material adverse effect with respect to
Pubco.
(iii) The
conduct of the business of Pubco complies with all statutes, laws, regulations,
ordinances, rules, judgments, orders, decrees or arbitration awards applicable
thereto.
(j) Benefit
Plans. Pubco
is not a party to any Benefit Plan under which Pubco currently has an obligation
to provide benefits to any current or former employee, officer or director of
Pubco.
(k) Certain Employee
Payments. Pubco
is not a party to any employment agreement which could result in the payment to
any current, former or future director or employee of Pubco of any money or
other property or rights or accelerate or provide any other rights or benefits
to any such employee or director as a result of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, whether or not (i) such payment, acceleration or provision would
constitute a “parachute payment” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the
Code), or (ii) some other subsequent action or event would be required to cause
such payment, acceleration or provision to be triggered.
16
(l) Tax Returns and Tax
Payments.
(i) Pubco
has timely filed with the appropriate taxing authorities all Tax Returns
required to be filed by it (taking into account all applicable
extensions). All such Tax Returns are true, correct and complete in
all respects. All Taxes due and owing by Pubco has been paid (whether
or not shown on any Tax Return and whether or not any Tax Return was
required). Pubco is not currently the beneficiary of any extension of
time within which to file any Tax Return or pay any Tax. No claim has
ever been made in writing or otherwise addressed to Pubco by a taxing authority
in a jurisdiction where Pubco does not file Tax Returns that it is or may be
subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. The unpaid Taxes of Pubco
did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements included in the
Pubco SEC Documents, exceed the reserve for Tax liability (excluding any reserve
for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and
Tax income) set forth on the face of the financial statements (rather than in
any notes thereto). Since the date of the most recent financial
statements included in the Pubco SEC Documents, Pubco has not incurred any
liability for Taxes outside the ordinary course of business consistent with past
custom and practice. As of the Closing Date, the unpaid Taxes of
Pubco will not exceed the reserve for Tax liability (excluding any reserve for
deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax
income) set forth on the books and records of Pubco.
(ii) No
material claim for unpaid Taxes has been made or become a lien against the
property of Pubco or is being asserted against Pubco, no audit of any Tax Return
of Pubco is being conducted by a tax authority, and no extension of the statute
of limitations on the assessment of any Taxes has been granted by Pubco and is
currently in effect. Pubco has withheld and paid all Taxes required
to have been withheld and paid in connection with amounts paid or owing to any
employee, independent contractor, creditor, stockholder or other third
party.
(m) Environmental
Matters. Pubco
is in compliance with all Environmental Laws in all material
respects. Pubco holds all permits and authorizations required under
applicable Environmental Laws, unless the failure to hold such permits and
authorizations would not have a material adverse effect on Pubco, and is
compliance with all terms, conditions and provisions of all such permits and
authorizations in all material respects. No releases of Hazardous
Materials have occurred at, from, in, to, on or under any real property
currently or formerly owned, operated or leased by Pubco or any predecessor
thereof and no Hazardous Materials are present in, on, about or migrating to or
from any such property which could result in any liability to
Pubco. Pubco has not transported or arranged for the treatment,
storage, handling, disposal, or transportation of any Hazardous Material to any
off-site location which could result in any liability to Pubco. Pubco
has no liability, absolute or contingent, under any Environmental Law that if
enforced or collected would have a material adverse effect on
Pubco. There are no past, pending or threatened claims under
Environmental Laws against Pubco and Pubco is not aware of any facts or
circumstances that could reasonably be expected to result in a liability or
claim against Pubco pursuant to Environmental Laws.
(n) Material Contract
Defaults. Pubco
is not, or has not, received any notice or has any knowledge that any other
party is, in default in any respect under any Pubco Material Contract; and there
has not occurred any event that with the lapse of time or the giving of notice
or both would constitute such a material default. For purposes of this
Agreement, a “Pubco Material
Contract” means any contract, agreement or commitment that is effective
as of the Closing Date to which Pubco is a party (i) with expected receipts or
expenditures in excess of $50,000, (ii) requiring Pubco to indemnify any person,
(iii) granting exclusive rights to any party, (iv) evidencing indebtedness for
borrowed or loaned money in excess of $50,000 or more, including guarantees of
such indebtedness, or (v) which, if breached by Pubco in such a manner would (A)
permit any other party to cancel or terminate the same (with or without notice
of passage of time) or (B) provide a basis for any other party to claim money
damages (either individually or in the aggregate with all other such claims
under that contract) from Pubco or (C) give rise to a right of acceleration of
any material obligation or loss of any material benefit under any such contract,
agreement or commitment.
17
(o) Accounts
Receivable. All
of the accounts receivable of Pubco that are reflected in the Pubco SEC
Documents or the accounting records of Pubco as of the Closing Date
(collectively, the “Pubco Accounts Receivable”)
represent or will represent valid obligations arising from sales actually made
or services actually performed in the ordinary course of business and are not
subject to any defenses, counterclaims, or rights of set off other than those
arising in the ordinary course of business and for which adequate reserves have
been established. The Pubco Accounts Receivable are fully collectible
to the extent not reserved for on the balance sheet on which they are
shown.
(p) Properties. Pubco
has valid land use rights for all real property that is material to its business
and good, clear and marketable title to all the tangible properties and tangible
assets reflected in the latest balance sheet as being owned by Pubco or acquired
after the date thereof which are, individually or in the aggregate, material to
Pubco’s business (except properties sold or otherwise disposed of since the date
thereof in the ordinary course of business), free and clear of all material
liens, encumbrances, claims, security interest, options and restrictions of any
nature whatsoever. Any real property and facilities held under lease
by Pubco are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases of
which Pubco is in compliance, except as could not, individually or in the
aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse
effect.
(q) Intellectual
Property. Pubco
owns or has valid rights to use the Trademarks, trade names, domain names,
copyrights, patents, logos, licenses and computer software programs (including,
without limitation, the source codes thereto) that are necessary for the conduct
of its business as now being conducted. All of Pubco’s licenses to
use Software programs are current and have been paid for the appropriate number
of users. To the knowledge of Pubco, none of Pubco’s Intellectual Property or
Pubco License Agreements infringe upon the rights of any third party that may
give rise to a cause of action or claim against Pubco or its
successors.
(r) Board
Determination. The
Board of Directors of Pubco has unanimously determined that the terms of the
Exchange are fair to and in the best interests of Pubco and its
shareholders.
(s) Compliance With
Anti-Corruption Laws. Neither
Pubco nor to the knowledge of Pubco, any director, officer, agent, employee or
other person acting on behalf of Pubco has, in the course of its actions for, or
on behalf of, Pubco (i) used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution,
gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity;
(ii) made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic
government official or employee from corporate funds; (iii) violated or is in
violation of any applicable U.S. laws; or (iv) made any unlawful bribe, rebate,

domestic government official or employee.

Pubco, nor to the knowledge of Pubco, any director, officer, agent, employee,
affiliate or person acting on behalf of Pubco, is currently subject to any U.S.
sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S.
Treasury Department.
(u) Required Pubco Share
Issuance Approval. Pubco
represents that the issuance of the Exchange Shares to the Selling Shareholder
will be in compliance with the Nevada Statutes and the Bylaws of
Pubco.
(v) Undisclosed
Liabilities. Pubco
has no liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether fixed or unfixed,
secured or unsecured, known or unknown and whether absolute, accrued,
contingent, or otherwise) except for liabilities or obligations reflected or
reserved against in the financial statements included in the Pubco SEC Documents
incurred in the ordinary course of business.
(w) Money Laundering
Laws. The
operations of Pubco are and have been conducted at all times in compliance with
the Money Laundering Laws, and no action, suit or proceeding by or before any
court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving
Pubco with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the best
knowledge of Pubco, threatened.
(x) Full
Disclosure. All
of the representations and warranties made by Pubco in this Agreement, and all
statements set forth in the certificates delivered by Pubco at the Closing
pursuant to this Agreement, are true, correct and complete in all material
respects and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to

warranties or statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, misleading. The copies of all documents furnished by Pubco pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement are complete and accurate copies of the original

INDEMNIFICATION AND RELATED
MATTERS
7.01 Survival of Representations
and Warranties. The
representations and warranties in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered
pursuant to this Agreement shall survive until twelve (12) months after the
Effective Time (except for with respect to Taxes which shall survive for the

7.02 Indemnification.
(a) Irrespective
of any due diligence investigation conducted by the Company with regard to the
transactions contemplated hereby, Pubco shall indemnify and hold the Selling
Shareholder, the Existing Company Entities, and the Existing Company Entities’
officers and directors (the “Company Representatives”)
harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, damages, losses,
deficiencies, costs, penalties, interest and expenses (including, but not
limited to, any and all expenses whatsoever reasonably incurred in
investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or
threatened, or any claim whatsoever) (collectively, “Losses”) to which Pubco, the
Selling Shareholder, the Existing Company Entities, or any of the Company
Representatives may become subject resulting from or arising out: (1) of any
breach of a representation, warranty or covenant made by Pubco as set forth
herein; or (2) any and all liabilities arising out of or in connection with: (A)
any of the assets of Pubco prior to the Closing; or (B) the operations of Pubco
prior to the Closing.
(b) The

26
7.03 Notice of
Indemnification.
Promptly after the receipt by any indemnified party (the “Indemnitee”) of notice of the
commencement of any action or proceeding against such Indemnitee, such
Indemnitee shall, if a claim with respect thereto is or may be made against any
indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) pursuant
to this Article VII, give such Indemnifying Party written notice of the
commencement of such action or proceeding and give such Indemnifying Party a
copy of such claim and/or process and all legal pleadings in connection
therewith. The failure to give such notice shall not relieve any
Indemnifying Party of any of its indemnification obligations contained in this
Article VII, except where, and solely to the extent that, such failure actually
and materially prejudices the rights of such Indemnifying Party. Such
Indemnifying Party shall have, upon request within thirty (30) days after
receipt of such notice, but not in any event after the settlement or compromise
of such claim, the right to defend, at its own expense and by its own counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, any such matter involving the asserted
liability of the Indemnitee; provided, however, that if the Indemnitee
determines that there is a reasonable probability that a claim may materially
and adversely affect it, other than solely as a result of money payments
required to be reimbursed in full by such Indemnifying Party under this Article
VII or if a conflict of interest exists between Indemnitee and the Indemnifying
Party, the Indemnitee shall have the right to defend, compromise or settle such
claim or suit; and, provided, further, that such settlement or compromise shall
not, unless consented to in writing by such Indemnifying Party, which shall not
be unreasonably withheld, be conclusive as to the liability of such Indemnifying
Party to the Indemnitee. In any event, the Indemnitee, such
Indemnifying Party and its counsel shall cooperate in the defense against, or
compromise of, any such asserted liability, and in cases where the Indemnifying
Party shall have assumed the defense, the Indemnitee shall have the right to
participate in the defense of such asserted liability at the Indemnitee’s own
expense. In the event that such Indemnifying Party shall decline to
participate in or assume the defense of such action, prior to paying or settling
any claim against which such Indemnifying Party is, or may be, obligated under
this Article VII to indemnify an Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall first supply
such Indemnifying Party with a copy of a final court judgment or decree holding
the Indemnitee liable on such claim or, failing such judgment or decree, the
terms and conditions of the settlement or compromise of such
claim. An Indemnitee’s failure to supply such final court judgment or
decree or the terms and conditions of a settlement or compromise to such
Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party of any of its
indemnification obligations contained in this Article VII, except where, and
solely to the extent that, such failure actually and materially prejudices the
rights of such Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party is
defending the claim as set forth above, the Indemnifying Party shall have the
right to settle the claim only with the consent of the Indemnitee.
