Seller operates a web site specific to the online rubber-stamping
crafts community under the name Xxxxxxxxx.xxx (the "Business").
Seller desires to sell to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase
from Seller, certain assets of Seller used in the Business, subject to
the terms of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. Transfer of Assets. At the Closing, subject to the terms of this
Agreement, Seller shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to
Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase from Seller, free and clear of all liens,
encumbrances, claims, clouds, charges, equities or imperfections of any
nature, all software, databases, contract rights, customer lists,
trademarks, trade names, intellectual property, goodwill, materials,
supplies, telephone numbers, business records, and other assets owned by
Seller and used or useful in the Business and related operations. The
assets and properties to be transferred by Seller to Buyer shall include,
without limitation those identified in Exhibit A attached hereto. It is
understood that other than the website operating hardware and operating and
application software currently used by Seller, that Seller has no other
assets or liabilities that would appear on a financial statement prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
2. Conveyance and Transfer Documents. Seller agrees to deliver to
Buyer at the Closing such stock certificates, bills of sale, documents of
title and other instruments of conveyance and transfer, in form and content
satisfactory to Buyer, as shall be effective to vest in Buyer good and
marketable title in and to any property to be sold, assigned, transferred,
conveyed and delivered hereunder.
3. Payment of Purchase Price. In exchange for full payment for all of the
items purchased from Seller, Buyer shall issue Seller 100,000 shares of its
common stock. Such issued shares shall be "restricted securities" and shall
be imprinted with the following legend or a reasonable facsimilie thereof
on the front and reverse sides thereof:
"The shares of stock represented by this certificate have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be
sold or otherwise transferred unless compliance with the registration
provisions of such Act has been made or unless availability of an exemption
from such registration provisions has been established, or unless sold
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act."

writing, Buyer does not and shall not assume or agree to pay any of

Re: Sale of assets of Xxxxxxxxx.xxx, Inc., a Massachusetts
Corporation ("Stamparoo") in exchange for shares of
Xxxxxxxxxx.xxx, Inc., a Utah corporation ("Craftclick
or "the Company")
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement (the
"Agreement") between the undersigned I acknowledge that I have approved
this sale and exchange; that I am aware of all of the terms and
conditions of the Agreement; that I have received and personally
reviewed a copy of any and all material documents regarding the Company,
including, but not limited to Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, minutes
of meetings of directors and stockholders, financial statements and the
Company's Annual and Quarterly and Current Reports filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for the past twelve months which can
be reviewed in the Xxxxx Archives at xxx.xxx.xxx. I represent and
warrant that no director or officer of the Company or any associate of
either has solicited this exchange; that I am an "accredited investor"
as that term is known under the Rules and Regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission; and/or, I represent and warrant that I have
sufficient knowledge and experience to understand the nature of the
exchange and am fully capable of bearing the economic risk of the loss
of my entire cost basis. I hereby compromise and waive any claims I
have or may have against Stamparoo under any federal or state securities
laws, rules or regulations or otherwise, or for any other reason
whatsoever.
I understand that you have and will make books and records
of your Company available to me for my inspection in connection with the
contemplated exchange of my shares, and that I have been encouraged to
review the information and ask any questions I may have concerning the
information of any director or officer of the Company or of the legal
and accounting firms for the Company. I understand that the accounting
firm for Craftclick is Xxxxxxx, XxXxxxxxxx & Assoc., 0000 Xxxxx 000
Xxxx, #000, Xxxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxx 00000; Telephone: (000) 000-0000; and
that legal counsel for Craftclick is Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxx, Esq., 000
Xxxx 0xx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxx 00000, Telephone #801-
000-0000.
I also understand that I must bear the economic risk of
ownership of any of the Craftclick shares for a long period of time, the
minimum of which will be one (1) year, as these shares are
"unregistered" shares and may not be sold unless any subsequent offer or
sale is registered with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission or otherwise exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), or other applicable
laws, rules and regulations.
I intend that you rely on all of my representations made
herein and those in the personal questionnaire (if applicable) I
provided for use by Craftclick as they are made to induce you to issue
me the shares of Craftclick under the Agreement, and I further represent
(of my personal knowledge or by virtue of my reliance on one or more
personal representatives), and agree as follows, to-wit:
1. That the shares being acquired are being received for
investment purposes and not with a view toward further distribution;
2. That I have a full and complete understanding of the
phrase "for investment purposes and not with a view toward further
distribution";
3. That I understand the meaning of "unregistered shares"
and know that they are not freely tradeable;
4. That any stock certificate issued by you to me in
connection with the shares being acquired shall be imprinted with a
legend restricting the sale, assignment, hypothecation or other
disposition unless it can be made in accordance with applicable laws,
rules and regulations;
5. I agree that the stock transfer records of your
Company shall reflect that I have requested the Company not to effect
any transfer of any stock certificate representing any of the shares
being acquired unless I shall first have obtained an opinion of legal
counsel to the effect that the shares may be sold in accordance with
applicable laws, rules and regulations, and I understand that any
opinion must be from legal counsel satisfactory to the Company and,
regardless of any opinion, I understand that the exemption covered by
any opinion must in fact be applicable to the shares;
6. That I shall not sell, offer to sell, transfer,
assign, hypothecate or make any other disposition of any interest in the
shares being acquired except as may be pursuant to any applicable laws,
rules and regulations;
7. I fully understand that my shares which are being
exchanged for shares of the Company are "risk capital," and I am fully
capable of bearing the economic risks attendant to this investment,
without qualification; and
8. I also understand that without approval of counsel for
Craftclick, all shares of Craftclick to be issued and delivered to me
shall be represented by one stock certificate only and which such stock
certificate shall be imprinted with the following legend or a reasonable
facsimile thereof on the front and reverse sides thereof:
The shares of stock represented by this
certificate have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not
be sold or otherwise transferred unless
compliance with the registration provisions of
such Act has been made or unless availability of
an exemption from such registration provisions
has been established, or unless sold pursuant to
Rule 144 under the Act.
Any request for more than one stock certificate must be
accompanied by a letter signed by the requesting stockholder setting
forth all relevant facts relating to the request. Craftclick will
attempt to accommodate any stockholders' request where Craftclick views
the request is made for valid business or personal reasons so long as in
the sole discretion of Craftclick, the granting of the request will not
facilitate a "public" distribution of unregistered shares of common
voting stock of Craftclick.
You are requested and instructed to issue a stock certificate as
follows, to-wit:
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx
(Name(s) and Number of Shares)
000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx
(Xxxxxxx)
Xxxxxxx, XX 00000
(City, State and Zip Code)
If joint tenancy with full rights of
survivorship is desired, put the initials JTRS
after your names.

Very truly yours,
