(“LegatumX”), a Delaware corporation (each a Party”, and collectively, the “Parties”).
THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. Purchase and Sale of Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including Xxxxxxxx 0, 0 xxx 0 xxxxx), XxxxxxxX shall sell to BII, and BII shall purchase from LegatumX [●] shares of LegatumX’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, (the “Initial Shares”) at a price of [●] per share for an aggregate purchase price of One Million Three Hundred Thousand (USD $1,300,000) Dollars (the “Purchase Price”). The Initial Shares shall equal, on a Fully- Diluted Basis (as hereinafter defined), Thirty (30%) percent of the outstanding capital stock of LegatumX immediately following the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined). “Fully-Diluted Basis” means the aggregate number of shares in LegatumX calculated as if all outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible securities have been exercised for or converted into common stock and all options reserved for issuance in the option pool have been issued and exercised for common stock. **[NTD: The Purchase Price, and the corresponding number of Initial Shares, presumably, will correspond to a total ascribed value of LegatumX equal to USD
$4,333,333.33].
2. Consideration and Issuance of LegatumX Shares. The Purchase Price shall consist of Cash Consideration and Stock Consideration, respectively, each as hereinafter defined.
a. Cash Consideration. The payments (“Cash Consideration”) to be made by BII to Legatum, and the corresponding number of Initial Shares allocable thereto, shall be as follows:
Amount | Payment Date | # of Initial Shares | Percentage of Total Equity (computed on a Fully-Diluted Basis) | |||
USD $100,000 | Closing Date | [●] | 20% | |||
USD $200,000 | 90 Days Following Closing | [●] | 5% |
b. Stock Consideration. LegatumX shall receive One Hundred Thousand (100,000) shares of common stock of BII (the “BII Stock”) in exchange for such number of Initial Shares equal to Five (5%) percent of the outstanding capital stock LegatumX on a Fully- Diluted Basis.
c. Earnout Adjustment. The Parties acknowledge that BII anticipates filing with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a Form 10 for the registration of the common stock of BII pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act (the “Registration Statement”). BII shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC on or before December 31, 2018 (the “Registration Deadline”). During the one-year period beginning on the date that the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC and ending on the one-year anniversary thereof (the “Earnout Period”), BII and LegatumX shall cooperate with each other, in good faith, in order to determine a mutually-agreeable manner and timing for LegatumX to sell the BII Stock (the “Earnout Period Sales”). If LegatumX realizes gross proceeds on the Earnout Period Sales equal to or exceeding Two Million Three Hundred Thousand (USD $2,300,000) Dollars, BII shall receive additional shares of LegatumX’s common stock equal to Five (5%) percent of the outstanding capital stock LegatumX on a Fully- Diluted Basis (the “Lower Threshold Earnout Shares”). Alternatively, if LegatumX realizes gross proceeds on the Earnout Period Sales equal to or exceeding Ten Million One Hundred Thousand (USD $10,100,000) Dollars, BII shall receive additional shares of LegatumX’s common stock equal to Ten (10%) percent of the outstanding capital stock LegatumX on a Fully- Diluted Basis (the “Higher Threshold Earnout Shares”, and together with the Lower Threshold Earnout Shares, the “Earnout Shares”).

d. Mandatory Loan. If, as of the Registration Deadline, BII does not have an effective Registration Statement, reasonably promptly thereafter, BII shall make a cash advance, or series of cash advances, to LegatumX in the amount of One Million (USD $1,000,000) Dollars (the “Mandatory Loan”). The Mandatory Loan shall be secured by a first lien priority security interest in all of the BII Stock and shall bear no interest. The Mandatory Loan shall become immediately due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC (the “Registration Effective Date”) or (ii) the sale or issuance by LegatumX of New Securities (as defined in Section 8 below) for cash in a single transaction or series of transaction resulting in gross proceeds equal to or in excess of Five Million (USD $5,000,000) Dollars (a “Qualified Capital Raise”). In the event that a Qualified Capital Raise shall precede and occur prior to the Registration Effective Date, LegatumX repay the full amount of the Mandatory Loan from the proceeds of the Qualified Capital Raise. Upon the Registration Effective Date, LegatumX shall repay the Mandatory Loan if and in such amount as the Mandatory Loan shall remain outstanding and unpaid, and the provisions of Section 2.c. above automatically shall apply with respect to the sale of BII Stock by LegatumX or an affiliate.
3. Closing. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is herein referred to as the “Closing”, and the date on which the Closing occurs is herein referred to as the “Closing Date.” The Closing shall take place via the electronic exchange of documents and signatures at such other time and place as the BII and LegatumX may mutually agree. At the Closing, LegatumX shall deliver to BII a certificate representing the Initial Shares against payment by BII of the Cash Consideration by check or wire transfer and delivery by BII of a certificate representing the BII Stock to LegatumX.

The Optional Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note, subject to a commercially reasonable rate of interest, as mutually agreed upon by the Parties, and secured by a pledge of the BII Stock. The Optional Loan term and maturity schedule shall be determined in the discretion of BII, and the Optional Loan shall be subject to such other terms and conditions as LegatumX and BII set forth in writing (the “Loan Agreement”). The Parties shall enter into an “Optional Loan Agreement”, and the full amount of the Optional Loan shall be transferred to LegatumX, within a commercially reasonable amount of time after written notice requesting the Optional Loan is provided by LegatumX to BII. For the avoidance of doubt, LegatumX shall have no obligation to accept the Optional Loan.
