Each of the parties to this Agreement is individually referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”
WHEREAS, in a share exchange transaction to be accounted for under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US GAAP”) as a reverse acquisition, the Company Shareholders desire to exchange (the “Exchange”) the issued and outstanding equity interests of Company (“Company Shares”) for up to an aggregate of 15,500,001 shares (the “Exchange Shares”) of the common stock, par value $0.0001 of CryptoSign (“CryptoSign Common Stock”);
WHEREAS, the issuance of the Exchange Shares to the Company Shareholders is to be made in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Regulation S or Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”);
WHEREAS, Company is entering into this Agreement for the purpose of evidencing its consent to the consummation of the Exchange and for the purpose of making certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements;
WHEREAS, the Company Shareholders have appointed Mads X. Xxxxxxxxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxx as the Company Shareholders’ Representatives to act as representative of the Company Shareholders in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, on the basis of the foregoing stated premises and for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and the mutual benefits to the parties to be derived here from, and intending to be legally bound hereby, it is hereby agreed as follows:
ARTICLE I: THE EXCHANGE
1.1 Exchange of Shares. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, at the Closing, each of the Company Shareholders will sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to CryptoSign all of the Company Shares owned by such Company Shareholder, as specified in Column I on Schedule I hereto, and CryptoSign will issue to each Company Shareholder, in exchange for the Company Shares held by such Company Shareholder, a stock certificate representing the number of Exchange Shares set forth opposite such Company Shareholder’s name in Column II on Schedule I hereto, which Exchange Shares shall be issued in proportion to the number of issued and outstanding Company Interests owned by each such Company Shareholder.
1
1.2 Closing. The closing of the Exchange (the “Closing”) shall take place by electronic communication on the date when all of the closing conditions set forth in Article VI of this Agreement are either satisfied or waived, or on such other date as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties. Such date is referred to herein as the “Closing Date”.
1.3 Name Change. As soon as possible following the Closing, the name of CryptoSign, Inc. shall be changed to “NABUfit Global Inc.”
1.4 Rights of Holders of Company Shares. On or prior to the Closing, any certificate or instrument that immediately prior to the Closing represented Company Interests owned by any Company Shareholder shall be deemed for all purposes, to evidence ownership of and to represent the number of Exchange Shares into which such Company Interests have been exchanged pursuant to Section 1.1 above. The record holder of each such outstanding certificate or other instrument representing Company Interests, shall, after the Closing Date, be entitled to vote the number of Exchange Shares into which such Company Interests have been exchanged on any matters on which the holders of record of Cryptosign Common Stock, as of any date subsequent to the Closing Date, shall be entitled to vote. Following the Closing, in accordance with Section 70 of the Danish Companies Act and the governing documents of the Company, CryptoSign, will offer to any Company Shareholder that has not consented to the Exchange (the “Non-Consenting Shareholders”) and therefore has not exchanged such Company Shareholder’s Company Shares for Exchange Shares, the pro rata portion of the number of Exchange Shares such Company Shareholder would have been entitled to if such Company Shareholder had consented to the Exchange. Any remaining Exchange Shares that have not been issued to the Company Shareholders at the Closing, or to the Non-Consenting Shareholders following the Closing, shall be distributed pro rata among the Company Shareholders that have received Exchange Shares based on the number of CryptoSign Common Stock issued to such Company Shareholders in connection with the Exchange and this Agreement.

CryptoSign shall not be obligated to deliver any such Exchange Shares to which any former holder of Company Shares is entitled until such holder surrenders the certificate or other instrument representing such Company Shares. Upon surrender, each certificate or other instrument evidencing Company Shares shall be cancelled.
(b) All shares of CryptoSign Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of Company Interests, in accordance with the above terms and conditions shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Interests.
2
(c) Any shares of CryptoSign Common Stock issued in the Exchange will not be transferable except (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (ii) upon receipt by CryptoSign of a written opinion of counsel for the holder reasonably satisfactory to CryptoSign to the effect that the proposed transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and with respect to those shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Regulation S under the Securities Act, in accordance with Regulation S.

7.1 Termination by Mutual Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated at any time by mutual consent of the Parties, provided that such consent to terminate is in writing and is signed by each of the Parties.
7.2 Termination for Failure to Close. This Agreement may be terminated at any time by any of the Parties if the Closing shall not have occurred by November 30, 2015; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall not be available to any Party whose breach of any provision of this Agreement results in the failure of the Closing to have occurred by such time.
7.3 Termination by Operation of Law. This Agreement may be terminated by any Party hereto if there shall be any statute, rule or regulation issued by a Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction that renders consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Contemplated Transactions”) illegal or otherwise prohibited, or a court of competent jurisdiction or any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have issued an order, decree or ruling, or has taken any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of such transactions and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and non-appealable.
7.4 Termination for Failure to Perform Covenants or Conditions. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Effective Time:
(a) by CryptoSign if the Company shall have breached or failed to observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement or if any representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement shall be inaccurate or shall have become inaccurate as of a date subsequent to the date of this Agreement (as if made on such subsequent date), in each case, such that any condition set forth in Section 6.2 would not be satisfied; provided, that such breach is not cured within ten (10) days of written notice of such breach from CryptoSign (to the extent such breach is curable); provided, further, that CryptoSign may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.4(a) if it is then in breach in any material respect of this Agreement; or
25
(b) by the Company if CryptoSign shall have breached or failed to observe or perform in any material respect any of their respective covenants or obligations under this Agreement or if any representation or warranty of CryptoSign contained in this Agreement shall be inaccurate or shall have become inaccurate as of a date subsequent to the date of this Agreement (as if made on such subsequent date), in each case, such that any condition set forth in Section 5.1 would not be satisfied; provided, that such breach is not cured within ten (10) days of written notice of such breach from the Company (to the extent such breach is curable); provided, further, that the Company may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.4(b) if it is then in breach in any material respect of this Agreement.
7.5 Effect of Termination or Default; Remedies. In the event of termination of this Agreement as set forth above, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability on the part of any Party hereto, provided that the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any Party for its fraud or from any liability for any willful and material breach of any term or provision of this Agreement.
7.6 Remedies; Specific Performance. The rights and remedies of the Parties shall be cumulative (and not alternative). The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Parties (on behalf of themselves and the third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement) shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled to at law or in equity, in each case without the requirement of posting any bond or other type of security. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity.

8.10 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified.
28
8.11 Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware) in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Agreement or the matters contemplated herein, agrees that process may be served upon them in any manner authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware for such persons and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, and covenants not to assert or plead any objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Any Party may make service on another Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 8.7. Nothing in this Section 8.11, however, shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.
