into shares of Coil Tubing’s common stock at the rate of $0.0033333 per share (the “Conversion Rights”);

WHEREAS, Xxxxx and Holdings previously entered into an Executive Compensation and Retention Agreement dated on or around June 16, 2009, to be effective as of June 1, 2009, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Compensation Agreement”), pursuant to which Xxxxx agreed to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of Holdings;
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Compensation Agreement, Xxxxx was to receive cash consideration for services rendered pursuant to the terms of the Compensation Agreement, 750,000 shares of Holding’s common stock upon his entry into the Compensation Agreement (the “Sign-On Shares”), as well as shares of common stock at the end of each year that Xxxxx was employed under the Compensation Agreement equal to 5% of Holdings then issued and outstanding shares of common stock (as otherwise provided for in the Compensation
Agreement)(the “Yearly Shares”);
WHEREAS, Xxxxx is due 1,140,000 shares in connection with the Yearly Shares owed to Xxxxx as of December 31, 2009 (collectively with the Sign-On Shares, the “Shares”); and
WHEREAS, Coil Tubing desires to prepay the Note and discharge the Security Agreement, Xxxxx desires to cancel and exchange the Shares for shares of common stock of Coil Tubing, and Xxxxx desires to resign from Holdings and terminate the Compensation Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration for the promises and pledges contained below and other good and valuable consideration, which consideration the Parties acknowledge receipt of, and the premises and the mutual covenants, agreements, and considerations herein contained, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Repayment of the Note.
In consideration for the Termination and Cancellation, Coil Tubing agrees to repay the Note prior to the Maturity Date (the “Repayment”) in connection with and pursuant to the following repayment schedule:
|
(a)
|
$32,191.76 shall be paid by Coil Tubing to Xxxxx within five (5) Business Days from the Parties’ entry into this Agreement; and
|
|
(b)
|
$32,880.84 shall be paid by Coil Tubing to Xxxxx on or before the date which is thirty (30) days from the Effective Date (the date of such payment being defined herein as the “Payment Date”).
|
Xxxxx also agrees to cancel and terminate any Conversion Rights effective as of the Effective Date of this Agreement. “Business Day” means a day other than (i) a Saturday, (ii) a Sunday or (iii) a day on which commercial banks in the City of Houston, Texas are authorized or required to be closed for business. Xxxxx shall have no rights to the Security Agreement, which, along with the Note, shall automatically be terminated and all rights thereunder relinquished by Xxxxx upon the Payment Date.
2. Resignation and Termination of Compensation Agreement.
In consideration for the Repayment and the issuance to Xxxxx of the Coil Tubing Shares (defined below), Xxxxx agrees to resign as President, Chief Executive Officer and from any other position whatsoever that Xxxxx holds with Holdings, to terminate the Compensation Agreement, and to waive, forgo and forever release Coil Tubing for any and all requirements thereunder (except as specifically provided below) and all compensation or consideration due to Xxxxx pursuant to the terms of the Compensation Agreement effective as of the Effective Date, whether in connection with the Yearly Shares, any of the obligations of Coil Tubing upon termination of the Compensation
Agreement (as provided in Section 6(b) of the Compensation Agreement) or otherwise, other than the payment of his annual salary (as provided for in the Compensation Agreement) through the Effective Date (collectively the “Termination”). Xxxxx and Coil Tubing agree that the indemnification rights and confidential information requirements of the Compensation Agreement (as set forth in Sections 7 and 8 therein) shall survive the Termination.
3. Cancellation of Shares.
(a) In consideration for the Repayment and the issuance to Xxxxx of the Coil Tubing Shares (defined below), Xxxxx agrees, that effective upon the Effective Date, Xxxxx shall take whatever action necessary to cancel the Shares (provided that the Parties confirm that no certificates have ever been issued evidencing such Shares)(the “Cancellation”). For the sake of clarity and in an abundance of caution, Xxxxx further agrees to waive, release and relinquish any and all rights to the Shares and hereby
confirms the Cancellation of such Shares effective as of the Effective Date.
(b) The Parties agree that the Company’s Transfer Agent shall be able to rely on this Agreement and the terms and conditions herein to affect the Cancellation, as well as the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Xxxxx agrees to supply the Transfer Agent with whatever documentation and confirmations that the Transfer Agent may reasonably request from time to time to affect the Cancellation.
(c) Xxxxx agrees that he will have no rights to the Shares or any other Yearly Shares or other securities due to Xxxxx pursuant to the terms of the Compensation Agreement, or any rights in connection therewith subsequent to the Cancellation.
4. Issuance of Coil Tubing Shares.
In consideration for the Termination and the Cancellation, Coil Tubing agrees to issue Xxxxx three million (3,000,000) restricted shares of Coil Tubing’s common stock (the “Coil Tubing Shares”), which shares shall be issued and delivered to Xxxxx within five (5) Business Days of the Effective Date.
5. Consideration.
Each of the Parties agrees and confirms by signing below that they have received valid consideration in connection with this Agreement and/or will receive valid consideration pursuant to and in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.
6. Representations and Warranties of Xxxxx.
Xxxxx hereby represents, confirms, acknowledges and warrants to Coil Tubing as follows:
|
(a)
|
Xxxxx has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that Xxxxx is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in Coil Tubing and the suitability of the Coil Tubing Shares as an investment for Xxxxx;
|
|
(b)
|
Due to Xxxxx’x position as Chief Executive Officer and President of Holdings (which is the operating subsidiary of Coil Tubing), Xxxxx has access to, is aware of and/or has reviewed similar information regarding Coil Tubing’s operations, financial position, results of operations, assets, liabilities, and risks associated with its operations, as would be found in a Registration Statement filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”);
|
|
(c)
|
Xxxxx is acquiring the Coil Tubing Shares for his own account for long-term investment and not with a view toward resale, fractionalization or division, or distribution thereof, and he does not presently have any reason to anticipate any change in his circumstances, financial or otherwise, or particular occasion or event which would necessitate or require his sale or distribution of the Coil Tubing Shares;
|
|
(d)
|
Xxxxx is able to bear the economic risk of the investment in the Coil Tubing Shares and Xxxxx has sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of Xxxxx’x entire investment in Coil Tubing without economic hardship if such a loss should occur;
|
|
(e)
|
There are substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Coil Tubing Shares; the Coil Tubing Shares will not be, and Xxxxx has no right to require that the Coil Tubing Shares be registered under the Act; there may not be any public market for the Coil Tubing Shares; Xxxxx may not be able to use the provisions of Rule 144 of the Act with respect to the resale of the Coil Tubing Shares; and accordingly, Xxxxx may have to hold the Coil Tubing Shares indefinitely and it may not be possible for Xxxxx to liquidate Xxxxx’x Coil Tubing Shares. Xxxxx agrees that the Coil Tubing Shares shall not be sold, transferred, pledged or hypothecated unless such sale is exempt from registration under the Act. Xxxxx also acknowledges
that Xxxxx shall be responsible for compliance with all conditions on transfer imposed by any blue sky or securities law administrator and for any expenses incurred by Coil Tubing for legal or accounting services in connection with reviewing a proposed transfer; and
|
|
(f)
|
Xxxxx has carefully considered and has, to the extent he believes such discussion is necessary, discussed with his professional, legal, tax and financial advisors, the suitability of an investment in the Coil Tubing Shares for his particular tax and financial situation and that Xxxxx and his advisers, if such advisors were deemed necessary, have determined that the Coil Tubing Shares are a suitable investment for him;
|
|
(g)
|
Xxxxx understands and agrees that a legend will be placed on any certificate(s) or other document(s) evidencing the Coil Tubing Shares in substantially the following form:
|
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR ANY STATE SECURITIES ACT. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS (I) THEY SHALL HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES ACT, OR (II) THE CORPORATION SHALL HAVE BEEN FURNISHED WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO COUNSEL FOR THE CORPORATION, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER ANY SUCH ACTS."
7. Former Shell Coil Tubing Status.
(a) Coil Tubing represents to Xxxxx that, pursuant to Rule 144 of the Act (“Rule 144”), a “shell company” is defined as a company that has no or nominal operations; and, either no or nominal assets; assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets.
(b) As such, Coil Tubing acknowledges that it was once a “shell company” pursuant to Rule 144, and resales of its securities pursuant to Rule 144 may not be made until all of the following criteria set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) have been met: (1) Coil Tubing has ceased to be a shell company, (2) Coil Tubing is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Coil Tubing Shares Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), (3) Coil Tubing has filed all of its required periodic reports (other than 8-k’s) for the prior one year period, and (4) a period of at least twelve months has elapsed from the date “Form 10 like information” was filed with the Coil Tubing Shares and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) reflecting Coil Tubing’s status as a non-shell company.
(c) Because none of Coil Tubing’s securities can be resold pursuant to Rule 144, until at least a year after Coil Tubing has complied with Rule 144(i)(2), the Coil Tubing Shares will have no liquidity until and unless such Coil Tubing Shares are registered with the Commission, an exemption for sales can be relied upon other than Rule 144 and/or until a year after Coil Tubing has complied with the requirements of Rule 144(i)(2) as described above. As a result, Xxxxx may never be able to sell the Coil Tubing Shares.
(d) Coil Tubing has advised Xxxxx that it may be substantially more difficult or impossible for Coil Tubing to fund its operations and pay its consultants with Coil Tubing’s securities instead of cash. Furthermore, Coil Tubing represents that it will be substantially more difficult for Coil Tubing to obtain funding through the sale of debt or equity securities unless Coil Tubing agrees to register such securities with the Commission, which could cause Coil Tubing to expend additional resources in the future. Coil Tubing’s status as a former
“shell company” is highly likely to prevent Coil Tubing from raising any additional funds, engaging consultants, using Coil Tubing’s securities to pay for any acquisitions (although none are currently planned), which could cause the value of Coil Tubing’s securities, if any, to decline in value or become worthless. Furthermore, as Coil Tubing may not ever comply with Rule 144(i)(2), Xxxxx may be forced to hold such Coil Tubing Shares indefinitely.
8. Mutual Representations, Covenants and Warranties.
(a) The Parties have all requisite power and authority, corporate or otherwise, to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

enforceable against each party in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles.
(b) The execution and delivery by the Parties of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and shall not, by the lapse of time, the giving of notice or otherwise: (a) constitute a violation of any law; or (b) constitute a breach or violation of any provision contained in the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, or such other document(s) regarding organization and/or management of the Parties, if applicable; or (c) constitute a breach of any provision contained in, or a default under, any governmental approval, any writ,
injunction, order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or any contract to which either Party is a party or by which either Party is bound or affected.
