In addition, S2C holds North American patents protecting the proprietary operating dispensary and loading mechanism.

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to make certain representations, warranties and agreements in connection with completion of the proposed share exchange transaction; and,
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, which shall be considered an integral part of this Agreement, and the covenants, conditions, representations and warranties hereinafter set forth, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I THE EXCHANGE
1.1 The Exchange. At the Closing (as hereinafter defined), United shall acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of S2C Common Stock from the Shareholders, free and clear of all liens, charges or encumbrances, in exchange for shares of common stock of United (the “Exchange Shares”), as provided for in Section 1.3 hereof. The Exchange shall take place upon the terms and conditions provided for in this Agreement and applicable state laws of Nevada. For United States federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Exchange shall constitute a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
1.2 Closing and Closing Date. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Parties shall close (the “Closing”) on (i) the first business day on which the last of the Closing conditions set forth in Article is fulfilled or waived or (ii) such other date as the Parties hereto may agree (the “Closing Date”), at such time and place as the Parties hereto may agree.
1.3 Exchange of Shares; Stock Certificates.
(a) Conversion. On the Closing Date, each share of S2C Common Stock surrendered to United by a Shareholder will be converted on from its present capital structure of 7,500,000 issued and outstanding into a one for one hundred and thirty three and a third (1:133.333) basis into Exchange Shares to an accumulated total of no more than 100 million (100,000,000) common shares of United. No fractional shares of United Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Exchange. In lieu of such fractional shares, any Shareholder who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of United Common Stock (after separately aggregating all fractional shares of stock issuable to such holder) shall be issued one (1) whole share of United Common Stock.
1
(b) Exchange of Certificates. On and after the Closing Date, each Shareholder shall be entitled to receive in exchange for the outstanding shares of S2C Common Stock held by such Shareholder, upon surrender thereof to United or its exchange agent, a certificate or certificates representing the number of whole Exchange Shares into which such Shareholder's shares(s) of S2C Common Stock were converted pursuant to Section 1.3(a).
