STOCK PURCHASE AND EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.8
THIS STOCK PURCHASE AND EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is effective as of July 1, 2011 by and between 808 Renewable Energy Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx (“Purchaser”).
The parties agree as follows:
(a) Purchaser is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Series A Preferred Shares. Purchaser is purchasing the Series A Preferred Shares for investment for Purchaser’s own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
-1-
(b) Purchaser understands that the Series A Preferred Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends on, among other things, the bona fide nature of Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, Purchaser understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the statutory basis for such exemption may not be present if Purchaser’s representations meant that Purchaser’s present intention was to hold the Series A Preferred Shares for a minimum capital gains period under applicable tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for a market rise, for a sale if the market does not rise or for a year or any other fixed period in the future.
(c) Purchaser further acknowledges and understands that the Series A Preferred Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Purchaser further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Series A Preferred Shares.
4. Purchaser’s Additional Representations and Warranties. In addition to Purchaser’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 3, Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company the following:
(a) Purchaser has the full power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver this Agreement (and all agreements and documents executed and delivered by Purchaser in connection herewith) and to perform all of Purchaser’s obligations hereunder (and under all other agreements and documents executed and delivered by Purchaser in connection herewith) and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and by all agreements and documents executed and delivered by Purchaser in connection herewith). Purchaser has duly executed and delivered this Agreement (and all agreements and documents executed and delivered by Purchaser in connection herewith). This Agreement (and each agreement and document executed and delivered by Purchaser in connection herewith), assuming its (and their) due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company (as required), constitutes Purchaser’s legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its (and their) terms.
(b) Purchaser has good and transferable title to the Exchanged Common Shares, and as of the date of the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Exchanged Common Shares shall be free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance.
(c) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement by Purchaser will (i) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any agreement, contract, loan, understanding or instrument to which Purchaser is now a party or by which Purchaser (or any of Purchaser’s properties) is or may be bound, or constitute a default or result in an acceleration of indebtedness under any of the foregoing; (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of any law, rule or regulation; (iii) result in the violation of any order, judgment or decree to which Purchaser (or any of Purchaser’s properties) is subject; or (iv) result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance on any of Purchaser’s properties pursuant to the terms of any mortgage, deed of trust, contract or other instrument.
-2-
(d) No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or registration or filing with, or notice to, any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction or regulatory authority over Purchaser (or any of Purchaser’s properties) or any other person or entity is required for (i) Purchaser’s execution and delivery of this Agreement (and each agreement and document executed and delivered by Purchaser in connection herewith) or (ii) the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and each agreement and document executed and delivered by Purchaser in connection herewith). No consent, approval or authorization of, or declaration or filing with, any governmental authority is required to be obtained or made by Purchaser for the valid execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and Purchaser’s investment in the Series A Preferred Shares.
(e) There are no actions or suits pending or, to Purchaser’s knowledge, threatened against Purchaser, which, if decided adversely to Purchaser, would have a material adverse effect on Purchaser’s ability to perform Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND MAY BE OFFERED AND SOLD ONLY IF REGISTERED AND QUALIFIED PURSUANT TO FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR IF THE COMPANY IS PROVIDED AN OPINION OF LEGAL COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION UNDER FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.

(c) The rights and benefits of the Company under this Agreement shall be transferable to any one or more persons or entities, and all covenants and agreements hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Company’s successors and assigns. The rights and obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement may be assigned only with the prior written consent of the Company, and any purported transfer otherwise shall be null and void.
(d) Either party’s failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not in any way be construed as a waiver of any such provision and shall not prevent that party thereafter from enforcing each and every other provision of this Agreement.

(e) Purchaser agrees upon request to execute all further documents or instruments necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes or intent of this Agreement.
(f) All representations, warranties and agreements of Purchaser contained in this Agreement shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

All references in this Agreement to “Section” or “Sections” refer to the corresponding Section or Sections of this Agreement unless otherwise expressly specified. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the word “including” wherever it appears in this Agreement does not and shall not limit the words or terms preceding such word.
(i) If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, then such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, and the balance of this Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
