(C) Qest:

(1) Qest hereby agrees to convey to Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx on the Closing Date 219,978,410 shares of the Puget common stock held by Qest as of the date of this Agreement.

(2) The Puget shares to be transferred to Xx.

Xxxxxxxxxx in lieu of book entry ownership:

“The securities represented by this certificate were issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or comparable state laws in reliance on the provisions of Sections 4(a)(1) and 4(a)(2) of such Act, and comparable state law provisions.
