Dear Xx.
Xxxxx:
Reference
is made to that certain Stock Purchase, Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of
April 16, 2008 (the “Xxxxx Agreement”), between Water Chef, Inc. (the
“Corporation”) and yourself (“Xxxxx”), pursuant to which the Corporation sold
and issued to Xxxxx 6,500,000 shares (the “Xxxxx Shares”), of the common stock,
par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Corporation for the
aggregate purchase price of $547,950 (the “Xxxxx Consideration”) and loaned (the
“Xxxxx Loan”) Xxxxx an amount equal to the Xxxxx Consideration to be used solely
for the purpose of Xxxxx’x purchase of the Xxxxx Shares. The
obligation of Xxxxx to repay the Xxxxx Loan is evidenced by a non-recourse
promissory note (the “Xxxxx Note”), payable to the Corporation and in the
original principal amount equal to the Xxxxx Consideration. Based on
discussions between the Corporation and Xxxxx, the Corporation and Xxxxx have
each determined that it is in the best interests of the Corporation and Xxxxx
that the transactions contemplated by the Xxxxx Agreement, as well as the Xxxxx
Loan, Xxxxx Note and Xxxxx’x obligation to repay the Xxxxx Loan, be rescinded in
their entireties, ab
initio.
This
letter agreement confirms the understanding (the “Understanding”) of the
Corporation and Xxxxx that the Xxxxx Agreement, as well as the Xxxxx Loan, Xxxxx
Note and Xxxxx’x obligation to repay the Xxxxx Loan, are, subject to the terms
and conditions set forth below, rescinded in their entireties, ab initio (collectively, the
“Rescission”).
The
Rescission shall become effective automatically upon the occurrence of all of
the following matters, which the Corporation and Xxxxx hereby agree to use their
respective best efforts to complete at the earliest possible time:
(1)
|
Xxxxx’x
execution of the duplicate copy of this letter agreement in the space
indicated below, confirming Xxxxx’x confirmation of the Understanding and
agreement to, and acknowledgement, acceptance and conformation of, all of
the terms and provisions of this letter agreement;
and
|
(2)
|
Xxxxx’x
delivery to the Corporation for cancellation of the stock certificate(s)
evidencing the Xxxxx Shares.
|
The
Corporation and Xxxxx each agree that upon the Rescission becoming effective in
accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph:
(a)
|
the
Xxxxx Agreement be deemed rescinded in all respects ab initio and shall be
treated as if the Xxxxx Agreement was never entered into, and that all
mutual promises, covenants and/or agreements contained in the Xxxxx
Agreement shall be of no force and/or
effect;
