Dear Xxxx, Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx:
Re: Proposed acquisition of Thinking Drone, Inc. by Bitzio Holdings, Inc.
This letter agreement confirms our recent discussions with respect to the proposed acquisition (the “Acquisition”) from Xxxx Xxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxx and Xxxxxxx Xxx (collectively, the “Vendors”) of all the Vendors’ right, title and interests in and to Thinking Drone, Inc. (the “Business”), a California corporation, by Bitzio Holdings, Inc. (the “Purchaser”), a Nevada corporation having an office in San Francisco, California, in exchange for the consideration and pursuant to the terms and conditions set out in this letter agreement. The Business includes the assets described in Schedule “A” attached hereto.
The parties acknowledge that the Purchaser is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bitzio, Inc., a Nevada corporation whose common stock is quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, shares of which corporation are intended to be given as consideration for the Acquisition.
It has been the objective of our discussions to execute and carry out as soon as practical a definitive agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”) between the Purchaser and the Vendors that, among other things, would provide for the various matters set out below.
1.
Acquisition.
1.01
The Purchaser will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Business on October 1, 2011 (the “Closing Date”). It is contemplated that the Acquisition will be accomplished by a triangular merger or other form as depicted in the Definitive Agreement. Following the Acquisition, the Business will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Purchaser.
1.02
Upon execution of this letter agreement, the parties will take all reasonable actions to facilitate the proposed transaction and cause to be prepared the Definitive Agreement and all other necessary documentation required for consummation of the transactions contemplated in this letter agreement. The Definitive Agreement will contain the terms hereof and such other terms including representations and warranties, conditions and indemnities.
2.
Consideration.
2.01
As consideration for the transactions contemplated herein and the representations, warranties and covenants of the Vendors as set out in this letter agreement, the Purchaser will pay to the Vendors:
a)
$500,000.00 cash (the “Cash Consideration”) payable in the following amounts on the following dates:
(i)
$300,000.00 on or before the Closing Date,
(ii)
$100,000.00 on or before the date that is 90 days following the Closing Date, and
(iii)
$100,000.00 on or before the date that is 180 days following the Closing Date; and
b)
on or before the Closing Date, 4,000,000 previously unissued shares of the common stock of Bitzio, Inc. (the “Shares”).
All Shares will be deemed “restricted securities” as defined by Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. It is the intent of the parties hereto that the Shares qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the applicable provisions of Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and related sections thereunder; however, the Purchaser makes no representations as to such eligibility. The Vendors acknowledge that they have obtained the advice of their own tax consultants and are satisfied and accept the tax consequences of the transactions as described in this letter agreement.
2.02
As collateral security and contingent upon full accord and satisfaction of the cash consideration and Shares described in section 2.01 hereof, the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Vendors have a continuing security interest in all right, title and interest of the Purchaser in and to the shares of the Business owned by it for so long as any part of such consideration is unpaid.
3.
Consents.
3.01
Upon execution of this letter agreement, the parties will immediately take the necessary and appropriate actions to authorize the transactions contemplated herein.
4.
Representations of the Purchaser.
4.01

6.
Due Diligence.
6.01
From the date hereof, the Vendors will make available to the Purchaser and its agents for review at the Purchaser’s expense, financial statements, books, records and other documents relating to the Business as the Purchaser and its agents may reasonably request. The Purchaser and its agents will have the opportunity to meet with the Business’s accountants and key personnel to discuss the financial and business conditions of the Business and to make whatever further independent investigation the Purchaser deems necessary and prudent. The Vendors will cooperate with the Purchaser and its agents in providing such documentation and information as the Purchaser may request. In the event that the transactions contemplated herein are not consummated, the Purchaser will promptly return all financial statements, books, records and other corporate documents to the Vendors.
6.02
On or before the Closing Date, the Purchaser may, at its sole option, elect to not complete the transactions contemplated herein based upon its investigation. If the Purchaser so elects, the obligations of the parties in this letter agreement shall terminate.
6.03
The Purchaser may, at its expense, cause the Financial Statements to be audited by an independent registered public accountant satisfactory to the Purchaser within 71 days following the Closing Date. The Vendors will cooperate with the Purchaser and its agents in providing such documentation and information as the Purchaser and its agents may request to carry out such audits.
7.
Confidentiality.
7.01
This letter agreement, the Definitive Agreement and the terms, conditions and transactions contemplated by such documents, are to be kept confidential by the parties hereto and will not be disclosed to the public or any other party except for any requisite filings to be made with the Securities and Exchange Commission and disclosures to the Purchaser’s stockholders, which may be required, and by an appropriate public press release to be made only by the Purchaser and upon the prior written approval of the Vendors, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
8.
Non-Competition
8.01
None of the Vendors shall, directly or indirectly, for a period of 18 months after the Closing Date:
a)
be a director, officer, consultant, employee, contractor or controlling owner of any corporation or other entity that owns or will own business interests with products or services which are the same or substantially similar to, or in competition with, those of the Business at the Closing Date without the prior written consent of the Purchaser;
b)
directly or indirectly contact or solicit any customers of the Business for the purpose of selling to those customers any products or services which are the same as or substantially similar to, or in competition with, those of the Business at the Closing Date; or

directly or indirectly persuade any officers, employees or contractors of the Business to resign or offer or cause to be offered employment (on the Vendor’s own behalf or on behalf of a third party) to any such officer, employee or contractor.
8.02
The parties acknowledge and agree that the restrictions set out in section 8.01 are reasonable under the circumstances to protect the Business’s legitimate business interests and do not oppressively restrain the Vendors. The Vendors acknowledge that a breach by the Vendors of section 8.01 may cause irreparable harm to the Purchaser and the Business; therefore, the Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to any other right or remedy it may have at law, to seek and obtain injunctive relief against the Vendors.
8.03
The parties agree that the restrictions set forth and incorporated in this article 8 are reasonable in order to protect the Purchaser and the Business. If any such restrictions shall be deemed to be unenforceable by reason of the extent, duration, geographical scope or other provisions, then the parties contemplate that the court or arbitrator shall reduce such extent, duration, geographical scope or other provisions and enforce this agreement to the fullest extent in its reduced form for all purposes.
8.04
The Purchaser agrees to retain the Vendors’ services and provide compensation therefor based on mutually agreed upon terms and conditions to be executed by the parties in a separate written agreement on or after the Closing Date, but no later than 60 days following the Closing Date.
