(Advances)
This Debt Conversion Agreement made as of this 11th day of January,
2006 between XXXxxx.xxx, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") having a
principal place of business at 000 XX Xxxxxxx 00, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 and
Gennaro Vendome ("Lender") having an address at 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, XX
00000.
WHEREAS, Lender has from time to time advanced funds to the Company
totaling $50,308.33, including accrued interest of $308.33 as of the date of
this Agreement (the "Loan"); and
WHEREAS, Lender is willing to release the Company from its obligation
to repay the Loan upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms, conditions and agreements
contained in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:
1. ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES.
(a) Lender agrees to accept 75,087 shares of the Company's
common stock, calculated by dividing the Loan by $0.67 per share, in full
satisfaction of the Company's obligation to repay the Loan. The Company agrees
to issue and deliver the shares to Lender at the above address promptly
following the execution of this Agreement.
(b) The certificate, in due and proper form, representing the
shares will bear a legend substantially in the following form:
"THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. THE SHARES HAVE
BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED
OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT FOR THESE SHARES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR
AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER
SAID ACT".
2. LENDER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
The Lender hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants to, and agrees
with, the Company as follows:
(a) The Lender is acquiring the shares for Lender's own
account as principal, for investment purposes only, and not with a view to, or
for, resale, distribution or fractionalization thereof, in whole or in part, and
no other person has a direct or indirect beneficial interest in such shares.
1
(b) The Lender acknowledges its understanding that the
issuance of the shares is intended to be exempt from registration under the Act
by virtue of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act")
and the provisions of Regulation D thereunder.
(c) The Lender has the financial ability to bear the economic
risk of his investment, has adequate means for providing for his current needs
and personal contingencies and has no need for liquidity with respect to his
investment in the Company.
(d) The Lender is an "accredited investor" as that term is
defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Act (17 C.F.R. 230.501(a)).
(e) The Lender has made an independent investigation of the
Company's business, and is not relying on any representation made by the Company
except as set forth in this Agreement. The Lender represents and warrants that
its agreement to accept shares of the Company's common stock in lieu of
repayment of the Loan is not conditioned upon any other creditor taking similar
actions.
(f) The Lender represents, warrants and agrees that Lender
will not sell or otherwise transfer the shares unless registered under the Act
or in reliance upon an exemption therefrom, and fully understands and agrees
that Lender must bear the economic risk of his purchase for an indefinite period
of time because, among other reasons, the shares or underlying securities have
not been registered under the Act or under the securities laws of certain states
and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of
unless they are subsequently registered under the Act and under the applicable
securities laws of such states or an exemption from such registration is
available. The Lender also understands that the Company is under no obligation
to register the shares on his behalf or to assist the Lender in complying with
any exemption from registration under the Act. The Lender further understands
that sales or transfers of the shares or underlying securities are restricted by
the provisions of state securities laws.
(g) The Lender has not transferred or assigned an interest in
the Loan to any third party.
(h) The foregoing representations, warranties and agreements
shall survive the delivery of the shares under this Agreement.
3. COMPANY REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
The Company hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants to, and agrees
with the Lender as follows:
(a) The Company has been duly organized, is validly existing
and is in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has
full corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and this
Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the
Company and is a valid and binding obligation of the Company,
2
enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforcement may be limited by the United States Bankruptcy Code and laws
effecting creditors rights, generally.

obligations under this Agreement and the accuracy of the representations and
warranties of the Lender, the offering and sale of the shares will be exempt
from the registration requirements of the Act.

performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement will not contravene any provision of applicable
law or the charter documents of the Company or any agreement or other instrument
binding upon the Company, or any judgment, order or decree of any governmental
body, agency or court having jurisdiction over the Company, and no consent,
approval, authorization or order of, or qualification with, any governmental
body or agency is required for the performance by the Company of its obligations
under this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(d) The foregoing representations, warranties and agreements
shall survive the Closing.

from all and all manner of actions, suits, debts, sums of money, contracts,
agreements, claims and demands at law or in equity, that Lender had, or may have
