Exhibit 10.1
CANCELLATION AGREEMENT, dated February 10, 2010 (this “Agreement”), by and among, Deerfield Resources, Ltd., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and United Fertilisers (UK) Ltd. (the “Cancelling Party”).
BACKGROUND
Concurrently herewith, the Company is entering into a Share Exchange Agreement with Leading Asia Pacific Investment Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Leading Asia”), and the sole shareholder of Leading Asia, Unitech International Investment Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands Company (the “Shareholder”), pursuant to which the Company will acquire from the Shareholder all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Leading Asia in exchange for 25,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Share Exchange Transaction”).
It is a condition precedent to the consummation of the Share Exchange Transaction that the Cancelling Party enter into this Agreement, which will effectuate the cancellation of 272,250,000 shares of the common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company held by the Cancelling Party (the “Subject Shares”). The Cancelling Party is entering into this Agreement to, among other things, induce Leading Asia and the Shareholder to enter into the Share Exchange Transaction and the Cancelling Party acknowledges that Leading Asia and the Shareholder would not consummate the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Transaction unless the transactions contemplated hereby are effectuated in accordance herewith.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.
Cancellation of Subject Shares. The Cancelling Party has delivered to the Company for cancellation stock certificates representing the Subject Shares along with duly executed medallion guaranteed stock powers covering the Subject Shares (or such other documents acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent) and hereby irrevocably instructs the Company and the Company’s transfer agent to cancel the Subject Shares such that the Subject Shares will no longer be outstanding on the stock ledger of the Company and such that the Cancelling Party shall no longer have any interest in the Subject Shares whatsoever. The Company shall immediately deliver to the Company’s transfer agent irrevocable instructions providing for the cancellation of the Subject Shares.
2.
Representations by the Cancelling Party.
(a)
The Cancelling Party owns the Subject Shares, of record and beneficially, free and clear of all liens, claims, charges, security interests, and encumbrances of any kind whatsoever. The Cancelling Party has sole control over the Subject Shares or sole discretionary authority over any account in which they are held. Except for this Agreement, no person has any option or right to purchase or otherwise acquire the Subject Shares, whether by contract of sale or otherwise, nor is there a “short position” as to the Subject Shares.
(b)
The Cancelling Party has full right, power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby.
