Escrow Agent shall not incur any such liability for (i) any act or failure to act made or omitted in good faith, or (ii) any action taken or omitted in reliance upon any instrument, including but not limited to, any written statement or affidavit provided for in this Amended Agreement that Escrow Agent shall in good faith believe to be genuine, nor will Escrow Agent be liable or responsible for forgeries, fraud, impersonations, or determining the scope of any representative authority.

Escrow Agent may hold all documents and funds and may wait for settlement of any such controversy by final appropriate legal proceedings or other means as, in Escrow Agent's sole discretion, Escrow Agent may require, despite what may be set forth elsewhere in this Amended Agreement. In such event, Escrow Agent will not be liable for damages. Furthermore, Escrow Agent may at its option, file an action of interpleader requiring the Parties to answer and litigate any claims and rights among themselves.

If Escrow Agent reasonably requires other or further instruments in connection with this Amended Agreement or obligations in respect hereto, the necessary Parties shall join in furnishing such instruments.
4.
Reliance on Counsel. Escrow Agent may act relative hereto upon advice of counsel in reference to any matter connected herewith and shall not be liable for any mistake of fact or error of judgment or for any acts or omissions of any kind unless caused by its willful misconduct or gross negligence.

8.
Expenses of Escrow Agent. In the event that the conditions of this Amended Agreement are not promptly fulfilled, or if Escrow Agent renders any service not provided for in this Amended Agreement, or if the Parties request a substantial modification of its terms, or if any controversy arises, or if Escrow Agent is made a Party to, or intervenes in, any litigation pertaining to this Amended Agreement or its subject matter, Escrow Agent shall be reasonably compensated for such extraordinary services and reimbursed for all costs, attorney's fees, including allocated costs of in-house counsel, and expenses occasioned by such default, delay, controversy or litigation and Escrow Agent shall have the right to retain all documents and/or other things of value at any time held by Escrow Agent in this escrow until such compensation, fees, costs, and expenses are paid.

EXHIBIT A
To AMENDMENT #2
Allegro Beauty Products, Inc. may refer to itself as “ABP,” the “Company,” "we," or "us.”
The Offering
ABP is offering for sale a maximum of 2,750,000 shares of common stock at a fixed price of $0.02 per share. There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold for the offering to close. We will retain all proceeds from the sale of any offered shares. The offering is being conducted on a self-underwritten, direct primary basis, which means our president and chief executive officer, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, will attempt to sell the shares. This prospectus permits Ms. Chardi to sell the shares directly to the public, with no commission or other remuneration payable to her for any shares she may sell. Ms. Chardi intends to offer the shares to friends, family members and business acquaintances. Intended methods of communication include, but are not limited to, telephone and personal contact. In offering the securities on ABP’s behalf, she will rely on the safe harbor from broker-dealer registration set out in Rule 3a4-1 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).
The proceeds from the sale of shares in this offering will be made payable to Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Law – IOLTA Account, ABP’s escrow agent. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Law acts as legal counsel for ABP and therefore may not be considered an independent third party. All subscription agreements and checks for payment of shares (except as to any states that require a statutory cooling-off period or provide for rescission rights) are irrevocable and should be delivered to Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Law at the address provided in the Subscription Agreement (see Exhibit 99.1). All subscription funds will be held in a noninterest-bearing account until the escrow agent receiving notice in writing evidencing the acceptance of the subscription agreement from the Company. ABP’s escrow agent will release all subscribed-to funds to the Company within five (5) business days of receiving written approval and acceptance of a subscription agreement by the Company.
The Company will deliver stock certificates attributable to the shares of common stock purchased directly by the subscribers within 30 days of the acceptance of their subscription agreement by the Company or as soon thereafter as practicable.
The offering price of the common stock has been determined arbitrarily and bears no relationship to any objective criterion of value. The price does not bear any relationship to our assets, book value, historical earnings (if any), or net worth.
Common stock offered | A maximum of 2,750,000 shares. No minimum number of shares must be sold for the offering to close. |
|
|
Use of proceeds | ABP will use the majority of the proceeds from the offering to first pay for professional fees and other general expenses attributed to the offering. The total estimated costs of the offering ($30,000) is less than the maximum amount of offering proceeds ($55,000), leaving the Company with $25,000 to use towards nominally fulfilling its business objectives. The Company will need to raise at least $50,000 to $100,000 in additional funding beyond the maximum offering amount. This is required in order for the Company to fulfill its business objectives in a material way. Please refer to the section entitled “Use of Proceeds” for additional details on how offerings proceeds will be utilized. |
|
|
Termination of the offering | The offering will conclude when all 2,750,000 shares of common stock have been sold, or 180 days after this prospectus becomes effective with the Securities and Exchange Commission. ABP’s board of directors may at its discretion extend the offering for an additional 180 days. |
|
|
Risk factors | The purchase of our common stock involves a high degree of risk. The common stock offered in this prospectus is for investment purposes only and currently no market for our common stock exists. Please refer to the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Dilution” before making an investment in our common stock. |
|
|
Trading market | None. While a market maker has been approached to file a Rule 211 application with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) in order to apply for the inclusion of our common stock in the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”), such efforts may not be successful and our shares may never be quoted and therefore owners of our common stock may not have a market in which to sell their shares. Also, no estimate may be given as to the time that this application process will require. Even if ABP's common stock is quoted or granted listing, a market for the common shares may never develop. |
