Reorganization and Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of December 12, 2002 (the
"Prior Agreement"), which included Xxxxxx Xxxxxx ("Xxxxxx"), who previously
served as President, Chief Executive Officer and a Director of HNS. On March 7,
2003, Xxxxxx resigned in all capacities with HNS.
In light of the resignations of Xxxxxx, the parties agreed to terminate
the Prior Agreement and have agreed to enter into this Agreement which shall
supercede and replace the prior agreement in all respects.
The Stockholders own all of the issued and outstanding shares of the
capital stock of the Company as set forth on Exhibit A hereto.
HNS is willing to acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital
stock of the Company, making the Company a wholly-owned subsidiary of HNS, and
the Stockholders desire to exchange all of their shares of the Company's capital
stock for shares of HNS' authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as
hereinafter provided.
It is the intention of the parties hereto that: (i) HNS shall acquire
all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company in exchange
solely for 31,253,904 shares of HNS' authorized but unissued Common Stock set
forth below (the "Exchange"); (ii) the Exchange shall qualify as a tax-free
reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, and related sections thereunder; and (iii) the Exchange shall
qualify as a transaction in securities exempt from registration or qualification
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Act") and under the
applicable securities laws of the state or jurisdiction where the Stockholders
reside.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
SECTION 1. EXCHANGE OF SHARES AND DISPOSITION OF ASSETS OF HNS
1.1 Exchange of Shares. HNS and the Stockholders hereby agree that the
Stockholders shall, on the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), exchange all
of their issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Company (the
"NBG Shares") for 31,253,904 shares of HNS Common Stock, $0.001 par value (the
"HNS Shares") set forth in Exhibit A hereto. The number of shares of capital
stock owned by the Stockholders and the number of HNS Shares which the
Stockholders will be entitled to receive in
1
the Exchange is set forth in Exhibit A hereto. In the event the Company shall
issue any more shares of its common stock prior to the Closing Date for this
Agreement, the number of HNS Shares will not be increased but shall be
reallocated based on the percentage of NBG Shares held by the Stockholders of
the Company as of the Closing Date. In addition all Stockholders subsequent to
the date hereof shall become signatories to this Agreement or otherwise provide
their written consent to the terms of this Agreement.
1.2 Delivery of Shares. On the Closing Date, the Stockholders will
deliver to HNS the certificates representing the NBG Shares, duly endorsed (or
with executed stock powers) so as to make HNS the sole owner thereof. HNS shall
deliver to the Stockholders 31,253,904 shares of HNS' common stock, representing
approximately 62.5 of HNS' common stock to be outstanding at the Closing Date on
a fully-diluted basis.
1.3 Tax Free Reorganization. The Stockholders acknowledge that, in the
event that capital stock of the Company representing at least 80% in interest of
the Company is not exchanged for shares of HNS voting capital stock pursuant
hereto, the Exchange will not qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section
368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
1.4 Investment Intent. The HNS Shares have not been registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as Amended, and may not be resold unless the HNS
Shares are registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is
available. The Stockholders represent and warrant that they are acquiring the
HNS Shares for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the
sale or distribution of the HNS Shares. Each certificate representing the HNS
Shares will have a legend thereon incorporating language as follows:
"The shares represented by this certificate have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"). The shares have been acquired for investment and may
not be sold or transferred in the absence of an effective
Registration Statement for the shares under the Act unless in
