THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated October 4, 2011, is by and among CONSORTEUM HOLDINGS, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Buyer”), TARSIN, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and TARSIN LTD, a company organized under the laws of the United Kingdom (the “Seller”) (individually, a “Party”; collectively, the “Parties”).
RECITALS
A. The capital stock of the Company consists of 25,000,000 authorized shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value, of which 100% are currently issued and outstanding and held by Seller (the “Shares”) such that the Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Seller.
B. Upon the terms and conditions set forth below, Seller desires to sell all of the Shares to Buyer, such that, following such transaction, the Company will be a 100% owned subsidiary of Buyer.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
SALE AND PURCHASE OF THE SHARES
1.1 Issuance of the Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, and on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, Seller shall sell and transfer to Buyer the Shares which constitute 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company.
1.2 Consideration. In consideration for this Agreement, the Parties shall provide the following:
1.2.1 Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Shares shall be 100 million shares of common stock of Buyer, currently equal to 20% of the Buyer’s outstanding common stock, on a fully-diluted basis (the “Purchase Shares”);
1.2.2 Buyer Assumption of Liabilities. Any indebtedness of the Company incurred through the Closing (as defined in Article 4 of this Agreement) shall be the responsibility of Seller. Any indebtedness of the Company incurred after the Closing shall be the responsibility of Buyer;
1.2.3 Seller License Agreement to Buyer. Seller is the sole owner of the Capsa Mobile Platform technology (“Capsa”). On or before December 30, 2011, Seller agrees to enter into a licensing agreement with Company, whereby Seller shall grant to Company an exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide perpetual license to use, distribute, and sell Capsa in consideration of $500,000 received from Buyer (the “License Agreement”). Seller acknowledges that the License Agreement is a material term of this Agreement of which the Buyer is placing reliance upon and, without which, the Buyer would not have otherwise been induced to enter into the Agreement;
1.2.4 Company’s Board of Directors. The Company shall, at the next meeting of Company shareholders and in accordance with the Company’s bylaws, nominate Xxxx Xxxxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxx to the Company’s Board of Directors for election by the Company shareholders;
1.2.5 Buyer’s Board of Directors. Buyer shall, at the next meeting of Buyer shareholders and in accordance with Buyer’s bylaws, nominate Xxxx Xxxxxxx to the Buyer’s Board of Directors for election by the Buyer’s shareholders;
1.2.6 Buyer’s Working Capital Obligation. Buyer shall provide or procure the provision of working capital to Company as follows: (1) $750,000 no later than January 1, 2012, and (2) an additional $500,000 no later than June 1, 2012. Failure to provide or procure the working capital as described herein shall constitute a material breach; and
1.2.7 Anti-Dilution Protection. Until such time as the Buyer has a market capitalization equal to or greater than $100,000,000 on any business day, if the Buyer issues additional shares of its common stock which cause the Seller’s Purchase Shares’ percentage ownership of the Buyer to decrease, the Buyer shall issue to Seller that certain number of additional shares of common stock in order to restore Seller’s percentage ownership interest in the Buyer (“Anti-Dilution Protection”), except, however, that without triggering Anti-Dilution Protection adjustments, shares of common stock and/or options therefore may be sold or reserved for issuance by the Buyer to (i) employees, officers, directors, consultants, contractors or advisors of the Buyer pursuant to stock purchase or stock option plans or arrangements or other incentive arrangements approved by the Buyer’s Board of Directors, (ii) to lender, equipment lessors, or other parties providing goods or services to the Buyer, (iii) the issuance of securities pursuant to stock splits, stock dividends, or similar transactions, (iv) the issuance of securities in connection with acquisition or strategic partnership transactions, and (v) the issuance of common stock in any other transaction in which exemption from the Anti-Dilution Protection is approved by the Seller.

The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in any such violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree, or contract, or an event that results in the creation of any lien, charge, or encumbrance upon any assets of any Party or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization, or approval applicable to any Party, its businesses, or operations, or any of its assets or properties.

All real property and tangible personal property of the Parties is in good operating condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

Except for sales made in the ordinary course of business, all inventory is the property of the Parties. No items are subject to security interests, except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedules.
