TRUST, XXXXXX XXXXX, XXXXXXX XXXXXXX, XXXXX XXXXXXXXX, XXXXXXX XXXXXXXX (each of
said individuals hereinafter referred to individually as a "Stockholder" and all
of them collectively as the "Stockholders"), and MEGATRAN INVESTMENTS LIMITED, a
corporation organized under the laws of the Province of Ontario (hereinafter
referred to as the "Megatran").
WHEREAS, Megatran is the sole stockholder of Mega Blow Moulding Limited, a
Canadian corporation ("Mega Blow"); and
WHEREAS, Stockholders wish to sell to Treasury and Treasury wishes to
purchase from Stockholders all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of
Megatran upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; and
WHEREAS, the boards of directors of Treasury and Megatran (each hereinafter
referred as a "Board of Directors") deem it advisable and in the best interests
of their stockholders to engage in the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant
to which Treasury will acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock
of Megatran (the "Acquisition"); and
WHEREAS, the respective parties desire to make certain representations,
warranties and agreements in connection with the Acquisition.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein and such other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending
to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
Article I. Sale and Purchase of Shares.
1.1 Purchase Price. Stockholders do hereby agree to sell and deliver
to Treasury, and Treasury does hereby agree to purchase from Stockholders, all
of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Megatran, aggregating two hundred
forty shares of common stock, without par value, for a total consideration of
$3,535,000.00 (CDN) (the "Purchase Price").
1.2 Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be paid as
follows:
(a) Stockholders acknowledge receipt, prior to the date hereof,
of $25,000 (US);
(b) simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Treasury
has delivered to Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, as nominee for all Stockholders, against
receipt from each Stockholder of one or more stock certificates representing the
number of shares of Megatran set forth opposite his name on Schedule 1.2,
endorsed to Treasury or accompanied by a signed stock power transferring such
shares to Treasury, together with all applicable stock transfer tax stamps
relative to said certificates, $2,535,000 (in Canadian dollars) less the
Canadian equivalent of the payment described in Section 1.2(a); and
(c) simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Treasury
has delivered to Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, as nominee for all Stockholders, a duly
executed convertible debenture in the principal amount (Canadian dollars) of
$1,000,000. Said debenture
-2-
is secured by a second lien upon all machinery, furnishings and equipment of
Mega Blow located at 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, as
evidenced by a security agreement provided by Treasury simultaneously with the
execution of this Agreement. Treasury represents and warrants that the security
interest granted by such agreement shall rank subsequent only to existing

1.3 Profits of Mega Blow. (a) The parties acknowledge and agree that
certain Stockholders are entitled to the sum of $130,583.00 (CDN) (the "1996

statement of Mega Blow for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1996. The parties
agree that the equivalent value of the 1996 Profits is represented by 283,876
shares of Treasury common stock (the "Share Equivalent"). Within ten (10) days
after the date hereof, Treasury shall issue to each such Stockholder common
stock of Treasury representing his proportionate share of the Share Equivalent,
pursuant to written directions delivered to Treasury on the date hereof. The
determination of each Stockholder's proportionate share of the Share Equivalent
shall be made by multiplying the Share Equivalent by a fraction, the numerator
of which shall be the number of shares transferred by such Stockholder to
Treasury on the date hereof and the dominator of which shall be 240. Treasury
warrants and represents to the Stockholders that in the event the issuance of
the such shares is not exempt from the
-3-
registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by
reason of Regulation S promulgated thereunder, Treasury will, not later than
January 15, 1997, file a registration statement to register such shares under
