NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for
other good and valuable consideration the receipt and adequacy of which are
hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties do
hereby agree as follows:
-2-
ARTICLE I
THE CONSIDERATION
--------------------
SECTION 1.01. CONSIDERATION/ACQUISITION; EFFECTIVE TIME
The Acquisition shall become effective upon the delivery of the duly
executed stock certificates in Acquiree representing 100% of Acquiree
outstanding shares of common stock and delivery of the following consideration:
1. On April 19, 2010, $50,000 was paid.
2. 60,000,000 shares of restricted common stock of ASPI constituting
80% fully diluted and non-dilutable (immediately post closing)
ownership shall be issued to Acquiree's Shareholders pro rata in
exchange for 100% of Acquiree's outstanding common stock (4,000,000
shares of Acquiree). Further funding efforts post closing and further
mergers after 6 months will be dilutable to such shareholders.
SECTION 1.02. EFFECTS OF THE EXCHANGE.
At the Effective Time and by virtue of the Exchange, all of the
outstanding Acquiree common shares shall be conveyed to ASPI which shall be the
owning entity of the outstanding common shares of common stock of Acquiree.
SECTION 1.03. CONVERSION OF SECURITIES.
As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Exchange:
(a) All of the outstanding common shares of Acquiree that are issued
and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be exchanged for
shares of ASPI in the conversion amount. All such shares of Acquiree shall be
conveyed to ASPI, and each holder of a certificate representing such shares
shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive
the number of shares of ASPI Common Stock to be issued in consideration
therefore upon surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 1.03(b).
(b) Each 1% ownership shares in Acquiree shall be entitled to receive
1/100th of 60,000,000 shares of ASPI in exchange for their shares in Acquiree.
SECTION 1.04. EXCHANGE PROCEDURES.
(a) As soon as practicable after the execution hereof, ASPI shall
provide to each Acquiree shareholder a letter of transmittal and instructions
for use in effecting the surrender of certificates representing shares of
Acquiree outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the
"Certificates") in appropriate and customary form with such provisions as the
board of directors of ASPI after the Exchange may reasonably specify. Upon
surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to ASPI, together with such letter
of transmittal, duly and properly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall
be entitled to receive in exchange therefore a certificate representing that
number of shares of ASPI Common Stock as is equal to the product of the
percentage of Acquiree's shares represented by the certificate multiplied by the
-3-
Conversion Amount, and the Certificate so surrendered shall be canceled. Until
surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.05, each Certificate shall, at and
after the Effective Time, be deemed to represent only the right to receive, upon
surrender of such Certificate, ASPI Common Stock as contemplated by this Section
1.05, together with any dividends and other distributions payable as provided in
Section 1.05 hereof, and the holders thereof shall have no rights whatsoever as
stockholders of ASPI. Shares of ASPI Common Stock issued in the Exchange shall
be issued, and be deemed to be outstanding, as of the Effective Time. ASPI shall
cause all such shares of ASPI Common Stock issued pursuant to the Exchange to be
duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject
to preemptive rights.
(b) If any certificate representing shares of ASPI Common Stock is to
be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in
exchange therefore is registered, it shall be a condition of such exchange that
the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in
proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange shall pay
any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of certificates
for such shares of ASPI Common Stock in a name other than that of the registered
holder of the Certificate so surrendered.
(c) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or
destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming
such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and upon the posting by such
person of a bond in such amount as ASPI may reasonably direct as an indemnity
against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate,
ASPI will issue in respect of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate one or
more certificates representing shares of ASPI Common Stock as contemplated by
this Section 1.04 and such person shall be entitled to the dividend and other
distribution rights provided in Section 1.05 hereof.
(d) If any Certificates shall not have been surrendered prior to three
years after the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on
which any payment in respect hereof would otherwise escheat or become the
property of any governmental unit or agency), the payment in respect of such
Certificates shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the
property of the Surviving Entity, free and clear of all claims or shares of any
person previously entitled thereto.
(e) ASPI shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the
consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of a
Certificate surrendered for shares of ASPI Common Stock (and dividends or
distributions with respect to ASPI Common Stock as contemplated by Section 1.05
hereof) such amount as ASPI is required to deduct and withhold with respect to
the making of such payment under the Code, or provisions of any state, local or
foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such
amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid
to the holder of such Certificate.
-4-
SECTION 1.05. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS.
No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to
ASPI Common Stock with a record date on or after the Effective Time shall be
paid to the holder of a Certificate entitled by reason of the Exchange to
receive certificates representing ASPI Common Stock until such holder surrenders
such Certificate as provided in Section 1.04 hereof. Upon such surrender, there
shall be paid by ASPI to the person in whose name certificates representing
shares of ASPI Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to the terms of this
Article I (i) at the time of the surrender of such Certificate, the amount of
any dividends and other distributions theretofore paid with respect to that
number of whole shares of such ASPI Common Stock represented by such surrendered
Certificate pursuant to the terms of this Article I, which dividends or other
distributions had a record date on or after the Effective Time and a payment
date prior to such surrender and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the
amount of dividends and other distributions payable with respect to that number
of whole shares of ASPI Common Stock represented by such surrendered Certificate
pursuant to the terms of this Article I, which dividends or other distributions
have a record date on or after the Effective Time and a payment date subsequent
to such surrender.
