ARTICLE I
SALE AND PURCHASE OF SHARES
1.1
Sale and Purchase of Shares.
(a)
The Seller hereby agrees to sell to the Purchaser the Shares, and the Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase such Shares, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The purchase price for that portion of the Shares to be paid for and issued in each Closing (as defined below) will be equal to the thirty (30) day volume weighted average price of the Common Stock as traded on the Pink Sheets calculated from the last trading day prior to each Closing date multiplied by the number of shares set forth below for each Closing (number of Shares at a Closing x 30 day VWAP of DTGW).
(b)
The Purchase Price will be paid as follows: i) five hundred thousand dollars (US$500,000) for the First Closing (as defined below) on December 6, 2017, ii) five hundred thousand dollars (US$500,000) for the Second Closing (as defined below) on March 1, 2018; iii) five hundred thousand dollars (US$500,000) for the Third Closing on June 1, 2017; and iv) five hundred thousand dollars (US$500,000) for the Fourth Closing on September, 2018.
(c)
The purchase price per share for that portion of the Shares to be paid for and issued in each Closing (as defined below) will be equal to five hundred thousand dollars (US$500,000) divided by the 30 (thirty) day volume weighted average closing price of the Common Stock as traded on the OTCMarkets calculated from the last trading day prior to each Closing date (US$500,000 ÷ 30 day VWAP of DTGW, the “VWAP Calculation”). Each of the First Closing, Second Closing, Third Closing and Fourth Closing, is a “Closing” and collectively
the “Closings”. By way of example, if at the date of Closing the VWAP Calculation is $.25, the number of shares to be issued to the Purchaser will be two million (2,000,000)
(d)
Except to any written commitments by the Seller prior to the date of this Agreement but which may be effectuated in the future, if in the ninety (90) days prior to a Closing (“Look-Back Period), as defined in Section 1.1(b) above, the Seller sell shares of its common stock for a price per share that is less than the price per share as determined by Section 1.1(c) above, the Seller shall issue additional shares to the Purchaser, so that the price per share of the shares issued to the Purchaser within the Look-Back Period equals the lowest price per share issued by the Seller during the Look-Back Period. This provision only affects shares issued during the Look-Back Period.
(e)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the number of Shares to be issued pursuant to Section 1.1(c) above shall result in the Purchaser owning more than twenty percent (20%) of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Seller, the Purchaser shall not be required to make the full payment. The Purchaser shall only be required to make a payment equal to an amount that will result in Purchaser owning nineteen and nine/tenths percent (19.9%) of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Seller, after such issuance.
(f)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Seller will be sold, merged or otherwise acquired, or intends to sell all or substantially all of its assets prior to all Closings having taken place, in such event, Seller shall provide Purchaser with not less than 30 (thirty) days prior written notice of such event, and Purchaser shall have the right to purchase any unpurchased Shares prior to such event.
