AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
THE ACQUISITION
1.1 The Acquisition. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, at the Closing (as hereinafter defined) the parties shall do the following:
(a) The Shareholder will sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to Pubco certificates representing the Soul Equity Interest held by the Shareholder, which in the aggregate shall constitute 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Soul, accompanied by a properly executed and authenticated stock power or instrument of like tenor.
(b) As consideration for the acquisition of the Soul Equity Interest, Pubco shall issue an aggregate of Thirty-seven Million (37,000,000) newly and duly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares (the “Issuable Shares”) of Pubco common stock, par value $.001 (“Pubco Common Stock”). At the Closing, the outstanding Soul Equity Interests beneficially owned by the Shareholder shall be contributed and transferred to Pubco and Pubco shall issue, and authorize its transfer agent to issue, the Issuable Shares. The Issuable Shares shall equal approximately 80% of the outstanding shares of Pubco Common Stock immediately subsequent to the Closing.
(c) No fractional shares of Pubco Common Stock shall be issued in the Acquisition. If the number of Soul Shares held by the Shareholder immediately prior to the Closing would result in the issuance of a fractional share of Pubco Common Stock, that product will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Pubco Common Stock if it is less than the fraction of one-half (.5) of one share of Pubco Common Stock or rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of Pubco Common Stock if the said product is equal to or greater than the fraction of one-half (.5) of one share of Pubco Common Stock.
1.2 Closing Date. The closing of the Acquisition (the “Closing”) shall take place on February 7, 2013, or on such other date as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement. Such date is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”
1.3 Surrender and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) At the Closing, Pubco shall deliver to its transfer agent a letter of instruction to prepare and deliver to Soul’s counsel, who shall act as exchange agent for the benefit of the Shareholder (the “Exchange Agent”), certificates representing the appropriate number of shares of Pubco Common Stock issuable hereunder in exchange for all outstanding Soul Equity Interests. The Issuable Shares evidenced by the certificates shall be registered in the name of the Shareholder.
(b) Promptly after the Closing and upon surrender of a certificate or certificates representing the Soul Equity Interest outstanding immediately prior to the Closing (or an affidavit and indemnification in form reasonably acceptable to counsel for Pubco stating that the Shareholder has lost their certificate or certificates or that such have been destroyed), Pubco shall issue to the Shareholder so surrendering such certificate or certificates, a certificate or certificates registered in the name of the Shareholder representing the number of shares of Pubco Common Stock that such Shareholder shall be entitled to receive. Until the certificate, certificates or affidavit is or are surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.3(b) hereof, each certificate or affidavit that immediately prior to the Closing represented any outstanding Soul Equity Interest shall be deemed at and after the Closing to represent only the right to receive upon surrender as aforesaid the Pubco Common Stock.
1.4 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Closing, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the Shareholder, Soul, and/or Pubco (as applicable) shall take all such lawful and necessary action.

5.3 Method of Asserting Claims, Etc. The party claiming indemnification is hereinafter referred to as the “Indemnified Party” and the party against whom such claims are asserted hereunder is hereinafter referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.” All Claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party under this Article 5 shall be asserted as follows:
(a) In the event that any Claim or demand for which an Indemnifying Party would be liable to an Indemnified Party hereunder is asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a third party, said Indemnified Party shall, within ten (10) business days from the date upon which the Indemnified Party has Knowledge of such Claim, notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim or demand, specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim or demand and the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Claim or demand) (the “Claim Notice”). The Indemnified Party’s failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of liability hereunder unless such failure materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend against the claim or demand. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days from the giving of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party: (i) whether or not the Indemnifying Party disputes the liability of the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to such Claim or demand, and (ii) whether or not the Indemnifying Party desires, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to defend the Indemnified Party against such Claims or demand; provided, however, that any Indemnified Party is hereby authorized prior to and during the Notice Period to file any motion, answer or other pleading which he shall deem necessary or appropriate to protect his interests or those of the Indemnifying Party and not prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that he, she or it does not dispute liability for indemnification under this Article 5 and that such person desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand and except as hereinafter provided, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be promptly settled or prosecuted by him to a final conclusion. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party except to the extent that the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing, the Indemnifying Party has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Indemnifying Party and the position of such Indemnified Party (a “Material Conflict”). If requested by the Indemnifying Party and there is no Material Conflict, the Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and his, her or its counsel in contesting any Claim or demand which the Indemnifying Party elects to contest or, if appropriate and related to the Claim in question, in making any Counterclaim against the person asserting the third party Claim or demand, or any cross-complaint against any person. No Claim for which indemnity is sought hereunder and for which the Indemnifying Party has acknowledged liability for indemnification under this Article 5 may be settled without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
| - 15 - |
(b) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a Claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder which does not involve a Claim or demand being asserted against or sought to be collected from him by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall give a Claim Notice with respect to such Claim to the Indemnifying Party. If, after receipt of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that he, she or it disputes such Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have admitted liability for such Claim in the amount set forth in the Claim Notice.
(c) The Indemnifying Party shall be given the opportunity to defend the respective Claim.
