Gentlemen:
Reference is made to that certain Agreement of Transfer, dated as of May 11, 2016, by and between Hologram FOTV Productions Inc., a Delaware corporation (“FOTV”), and HUSA Development Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HUSA”), a copy of which is attached (the “Agreement of Transfer”), pursuant to which HUSA transferred assets and properties associated with the set-up and installation of projection systems at theaters and other venues for presenting holographic shows (the “Business”) to FOTV. Reference is also made to that certain Distribution Agreement, dated as of May 11, 2016, by and between HUSA and FOTV (the “Distribution Agreement”), pursuant to which HUSA granted FOTV control of the sales, licensing, distribution and other commercial exploitation of holograms owned by HUSA. As FOTV and HUSA now desire to return the Business back to HUSA and terminate the Distribution Agreement, FOTV and HUSA hereby agree to (a) reverse the transfer pursuant to the Agreement of Transfer of the Business, returning the Business to HUSA without reversing the transfer of or returning, any assets or liabilities with respect to the FilmOn TV Hologram USA Theater located at 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx., Xxx Xxxxxxx, XX 00000 and 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx., Xxx Xxxxxxx, XX 00000 (the “Theater”), and (b) terminate the Distribution Agreement, in exchange for FOTV’s receipt of 625,000 shares of common stock of Hologram USA Networks Inc. worth $5,000,000. For the foregoing consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree, intending to be legally bound hereby, that FOTV hereby (x) sells, conveys, assigns, transfers and delivers to HUSA free and clear of all liens and encumbrances all of the FOTV’s right, title and interest in, to and under the assets of the Business (not including the Theater) previously transferred by the Transfer Agreement (to the extent not separately sold, conveyed, assigned, transferred and delivered pursuant to other documents and agreements between the parties) and (y) terminates the Distribution Agreement. Further, HUSA hereby assumes all of the liabilities in connection with the assets of the Business (not including the Theater) previously transferred by the Transfer Agreement (to the extent not separately assumed pursuant to other documents and agreements between the parties) and agrees to the termination of the Distribution Agreement.
The re-transfer of assets from FOTV to HUSA and the termination of the Distribution Agreement contemplated hereby are part of a plan of reorganization of Hologram USA Networks Inc. (“Networks”) and its subsidiaries, which reorganization includes the contribution of interests in Hologram USA Inc. (“Inc.”), Hologram USA Entertainment Inc. (“Entertainment”) and HUSA to Networks pursuant to contribution agreements which are to be entered into contemporaneously herewith, such that each of Inc., Entertainment and HUSA shall be wholly-owned subsidiaries of Networks. The parties hereto intend that the re-transfer of assets from FOTV to HUSA contemplated hereby be treated as first a transfer of such assets to Networks, with a subsequent transfer by Networks to its wholly-owned subsidiary HUSA and that, for convenience only, the assets are being transferred directly to HUSA.
Each of the parties agrees that the transactions contemplated by this letter agreement shall be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a contribution governed by Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. None of the parties shall take a position on any tax return or attachment thereto, before any tax authority, in any proceeding, or for any other tax purpose that is in any way inconsistent with such tax treatment, unless specifically required to do so pursuant to a determination by a tax Authority.
