SHARE EXCHANGEAGREEMENT
SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of May 30, 2013 (the “Execution Date”), by and among SOURCE FINANCIAL, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Source”), MONEYTECH LIMITED, an Australian corporation (“Moneytech”), XXXXX XXXXXXXXX, (“Garibaldi”), XXXXXX XXXXXXXX, (“XxXxxxxx”), XXXX XXXXX, (“Xxxxx”), and THE SHAREHOLDERS OF MONEYTECH LIMITED that elect to participate in the exchange contemplated hereby (the “Moneytech Shareholders”).
Preliminary Statement
Source, f/k/a The Wiki Group, Inc., is an early stage technology company, which provides financial technology solutions primarily in the United States (the “Wiki Business”). Source’s shares of common stock, par value $0.01 (“Source Stock”) are quoted on the OTCQB Pink Sheets, currently under the symbol “SRCF,” and Source is currently a voluntary filer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Garibaldi is the Chairman of the board of directors of Source (the “Source Board”) and XxXxxxxx is the Chief Executive Officer of Source. Garibaldi and XxXxxxxx are sometimes referred to collectively in this Agreement as the “Source Representatives”.
Moneytech is a financial services firm with operations in Australia. Xxxx Xxxxx is an officer, director and the principal shareholder of Moneytech.
Source desires to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Moneytech (the “Moneytech Shares”) from the Moneytech Shareholders in consideration for 5,300,000 shares of Source Stock (the “Source Exchange Shares”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (the “Share Exchange”). The Moneytech Shareholders have signed or will sign joinder agreements, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Joinder Agreements”), whereby each Moneytech Shareholder becomes a party to this Agreement and appoints Xxxx Xxxxx his or her attorney-in-fact to execute any agreements that may be deemed necessary in connection herewith. For the avoidance of doubt, the number of Source Exchange Shares to be issued to the Moneytech Shareholders gives effect to a 1 for 100 reverse stock split recently completed by Source. Unless specifically indicated otherwise, all references to an amount of shares of Source contained herein give effect to such reverse stock split.
The Share Exchange is intended to constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or such other tax free reorganization or restructuring provisions as may be available under the Code.
In connection with the Share Exchange, Source caused WikiTechnologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Wiki Sub”), to be formed and no later than the consummation of the Share Exchange, Source shall contribute (the “Contribution”) to Wiki Sub the assets comprising the Source Business (the “Source Assets”), and Wiki Sub shall assume all of the liabilities of Source, including the obligations of the Wiki Business, in exchange for 900 shares of the common stock of Wiki Sub (the “Transfer of the Wiki Business”), pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement by and between Source and Wiki Sub in the form annexed as Exhibit B hereto (the “Contribution Agreement”).
As a condition to the Share Exchange, Garibaldi shall deposit 1,120,000 shares of Source Stock (the “Garibaldi Shares”) and XxXxxxxx shall deposit 1,120,000 shares of Source Stock (the “XxXxxxxx Shares,” together with the Garibaldi Shares, the “GD Escrow Shares”) in escrow with Xxxxx & Xxx Xxxxxx LLP (the “Escrow Agent”) and Source shall deposit in escrow with the Escrow Agent 1,000 shares of the common stock of Wiki Sub, representing all of the outstanding shares of Wiki Sub (the “Wiki Sub Escrow Shares,” and together with the GD Escrow Shares, the “Escrow Shares”). The Escrow Shares shall be held by the Escrow Agent on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.3 of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement in the form annexed as Exhibit C hereto (the “Escrow Agreement.)
2
There are currently 4,061,632 shares of Source Stock outstanding. Source anticipates that prior to or at about the time of the closing of the transaction contemplated hereby it will issue or authorize for issuance: i) 300,000 shares issuable upon exercise of options to be granted to a service provider; ii) 600,000 shares to be issued in consideration for the cancellation of certain debt currently outstanding; and iii) 338,368 shares to be issued to certain service providers. Thus, if the Moneytech Shareholders are issued 5,300,000 shares of Source Stock, upon consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby there will be 10,600,000 shares of Source Stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis, without giving effect to an option for 20,000 shares exercisable at a price of $10.00 per share.
NOW, THEREFORE, on the stated premises and for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and the mutual benefits to the parties to be derived here from, it is hereby agreed as follows:

4.1 The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities other than those expressly set forth herein. The Agent shall have no duty to enforce any obligation of any person to make any payment or delivery, or to direct or cause any payment or delivery to be made, or to enforce any obligation of any person to perform any other act. The Agent shall be under no liability to the other parties hereto or to anyone else by reason of any failure on the part of any party hereto or any maker, guarantor, endorser or other signatory of any document or any other person to perform such person’s obligations under any such document. Except for amendments to this agreement referred to below, and except for instructions given to the Agent by Source, on the one hand, and Garibaldi and XxXxxxxx, on the other hand, relating to the Escrow Shares under this Agreement, the Agent shall not be obligated to recognize any agreement between any and all of the persons referred to herein, notwithstanding that references hereto may be made herein and whether or not he has knowledge thereof.
4.2 The Agent shall not be liable to Source, Garibaldi, DeFeudis, or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted by it, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment. The Agent may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Agent), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained), which is believed by the Agent to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons. The Agent shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this agreement or any of the terms thereof, unless evidenced by a writing delivered to the Agent signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Agent are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto.

4.7 For the purposes hereof, the term “expense or loss” shall include all amounts paid or payable to satisfy any claim, demand or liability, or in settlement of any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding settled with the express written consent of the Agent, and all costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, paid or incurred in investigating or defending against any such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding.
