 1 

 

            a.        Seller has all requisite authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and any other document contemplated by this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions hereunder. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Seller and constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligations of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

            b.        The Twenty-Five million [25,000,000] shares of common stock is free and clear of all liens, mortgages, pledges, security interests, encumbrances, or charges of any kind or description. Seller has the sole and unrestricted right to sell The Twenty-Five million [25,000,000] shares of common stock.  Upon transfer to Buyer by Seller, Buyer will have good and unencumbered title to The Twenty-Five million [25,000,000] shares of common stock in Eco, free and clear of any and all liens or claims.

The Twenty-Five million [25,000,000] shares of common stock are restricted shares under Rule 144, and cannot be resold unless said shares are either registered under Section 5 of the Securities Act, or found to be exempt from registration pursuant to an applicable legal exemption, such as Section 4.1 or Rule 144.

     4.        Representations of Buyer. Buyer hereby represents and covenant to Seller that:

            a.        Buyer has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and any other document contemplated by this Agreement to be signed by Buyer and to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

            b.        With respect to the shares of Eco common shares acquired by the Buyer, the Buyer acknowledges that the Eco common shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and accordingly are “Restricted Securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Act, as that term is defined in Title 17 Part 230.144 of the Federal Code of Regulations.

            c.        Buyer has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in securities of companies similar to the Company and acknowledges that it can protect its own interests. Buyer has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company. Buyer is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501(a), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The Buyer acknowledges that he has been fully informed that Eco is an “Alternative Reporting” company on the OTC Markets, and that Eco has, from time to time, filed informational and financial disclosures on the OTC Markets. The Buyer acknowledges having had full and fair opportunity to review Eco’s informational and financial disclosures on the OTC Markets, and to the extent the Buyer found it prudent and reasonable, had a full and fair opportunity to meet and confer with his own legal and financial consultants and advisors regarding the Agreement.

           e.       The Buyer is acquiring the Eco common shares for his own account, and not with a view towards a public distribution of those shares as an underwriter for Eco, or the Seller as an Affiliate of Eco. The Buyer acknowledges that he is not acquiring the Eco common stock as the result of any advertisement or solicitation, including any publicly issued or circulated newspaper, mail, radio, television or other form of general advertising or solicitation in connection with the offer, sale and purchase, from either Eco or the Seller as an Affiliate of Eco, regarding his investment in the Eco common stock acquired by virtue of this Agreement. The Eco common stock to be acquired by the Buyer hereunder will be purchased for investment purposes and for the Buyer’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the public resale or distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the Buyer has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing such Eco common stock.

            a.        This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by Fax or by E-Mail, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of that Party (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as an original thereof. Any photographic, photocopy, or similar reproduction copy of this Agreement, with all signatures reproduced on one or more sets of signature pages, shall be considered for all purposes as if it were an executed counterpart of this Agreement.

            b.        This Agreement, and all references, documents, or instruments referred to herein, contains the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties in respect to the subject matter contained herein. The Parties have expressly not relied upon any promises, representations, warranties, agreements, covenants, or undertakings, other than those expressly set forth or referred to herein. This Agreement supersedes (i) any and all prior written or oral agreements, understandings, and negotiations between the Parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein; and, (ii) any course of performance and/or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof.

            c.        Each and every provision of this Agreement is severable and independent of any other term or provision of this Agreement. If any term or provision hereof is held void or invalid for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect the remainder of this Agreement.

            d.        This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of California. If any court action is necessary to enforce the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Parties hereby agree that the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego, shall be the sole jurisdiction and venue for the bringing of such action.

            f.        No failure by any Party to insist on the strict performance of any covenant, duty, agreement, or condition of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy on a breach shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of any other covenant, duty, agreement, or condition.

            g.        In the event of any legal action (including any arbitration) to enforce or interpret the provisions of this Agreement, the non-prevailing Party shall pay the reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses including expert witness fees of the prevailing Party in such amount as the court shall determine. In addition, such non-prevailing Party shall pay reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the prevailing Party in enforcing, or on appeal from, a judgment in favor of the prevailing Party. The preceding sentence is intended by the Parties to be severable from the other provisions of this Agreement and to survive and not be merged into such judgment.
