May 30, 2017
Dear Xxxx Xxxxxx,
This exclusive binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) sets forth the basic terms under which SocialPlay USA, Inc., a Nevada corporation will engage in a corporate transaction between itself and Friendship Socks Inc., a Canadian corporation registered in British Columbia. (collectively, SPLY, FS shall be sometimes referred to herein as the “Parties” and individually a “Party”). The basic terms of the proposed transaction are as follows:
| 1. | Acquisition Agreement and Right of First Refusal |
No later than June 30, 2017, the Parties shall enter into a definitive Acquisition Agreement for SPLY to acquire a 33% equity interest in FS and a Right of First Refusal to provide additional financing and acquire up to 100% equity interest in FS, as defined herein (“Acquisition Agreement”).
| 2. | Cash Investment |
The parties agree that a cash investment in FS of $150,000 USD will result in a 33% equity acquisition by SPLY.
| • | In order to acquire a 33% equity interest in FS, SPLY |
Shall:
(i) Deliver to FS, $50,000 towards the “Total Cash Investment” (equivalent to 11% equity interest) upon execution of this LOI.
(ii) Upon satisfaction by FS of “Milestone 1” as defined in “Schedule B” attached hereto, deliver to FS an additional $50,000 towards the “Total Cash Investment” (equivalent to 11% equity interest) no later than 30 days from execution of definitive Acquisition Agreement.
(iii) Upon satisfaction by FS of “Milestone 2” as defined in “Schedule C” attached hereto, deliver to FS an additional $50,000 towards the “Total Cash Investment” (equivalent to 11% equity interest) no later than 60 days from execution of definitive Acquisition Agreement.
Upon completion of all payments as set forth above, FS shall immediately issue and/or cause to be issued sufficient shares of its capital in the name of SPLY equal to 33% of its issued and outstanding stock. All obligations under 2.(a) above must be completed prior to commencement of 2.(b) below.
Should the definitive Acquisition Agreement not be entered into by either party than SPLY shall receive 11% equity interest in FS as a result of the initial $50,000 USD Investment. Should the definitive Acquisition Agreement be entered into but Milestone 1 or 2 not be reached then SPLY will have the right to waive these milestones and still provide the “Total Cash Investment” for each milestone and receive the equivalent equity share (11% per milestone) or SPLY and FS can terminate this agreement with no penalty to either party.
| 1 |
(b) Right of First Refusal: In order to acquire up to 100% equity interest in FS, FS shall:
Xxxxx to SPLY a Right of First Refusal.

If SPLY responds with a written financing offer, FS shall negotiate in good faith with SPLY for a period of an additional fifteen (15) days in order to reach an agreement on terms. If the parties are able to reach an agreement, the financing shall be consummated within thirty (30) days after the agreement is reached. If the parties are unable to reach agreement, or if SPLY declines to offer financing or does not respond in a timely manner, then FS shall be free to solicit financing proposals from third parties.
| 3. | Shareholder Agreement |
Upon entering into the definitive Acquisition Agreement the parties, including all shareholders of FS will enter into a separate Shareholder Agreement which will define the terms and conditions pertaining to the Buy, Sell or Buyout of shares of FS.
| 4. | Material Breach |
Where either Party fails to meet its obligations pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement in any material way, the non-breaching party shall notify the breaching party of such breach (“Notice of Breach”) and the breaching party shall then have 20 days in which to cure the breach (“Cure Period”). Should the breach not be cured then the non-breaching party may terminate this agreement.
