SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT


This SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated as of July 15, 2016, is by and among ZOSANO, INC., a Delaware corporation ("ZOSN"), ESSENTIAL ELEMENT LIMITED, a corporation organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands ("ESEL"), and Leung Chi Wah Earnest (the "Shareholder").  Each of the parties to this Agreement is individually referred to herein as a "Party" and collectively, as the "Parties."  Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Annex B hereto.

BACKGROUND

A   ZOSN is a publicly traded corporation quoted on the OTC Markets (the "OTC").
B.   ESEL has one (1) share of common stock (the "ESEL Stock"), issued and outstanding, which share is owned by the Shareholder.  The Shareholder is the record and beneficial owner of the number of shares of ESEL Stock, or the right to receive such shares, set forth opposite such Shareholder's name on Annex A hereto.
C.   ESEL owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of J.E.M. Capital Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of Hong Kong.
D.   The Shareholder has agreed to transfer all of his shares of ESEL Stock, or the right to receive such stock, in exchange for two million five thousand four hundred (2,005,400) newly issued shares of the Common Stock, $0.001 par value, of ZOSN (the "ZOSN Stock").  In the aggregate, the shares of ZOSN Stock issuable to the Shareholder will be approximately twenty percent (20%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock of ZOSN as of and immediately after the Closing.

F.   The Board of Directors of each of ZOSN and ESEL has determined that it is desirable to effect this plan of reorganization and share exchange.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

     1.1.   Exchange by the Shareholder.  At the Closing, the Shareholder shall sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to ZOSN its ESEL Stock free and clear of all Liens in exchange for the ZOSN Stock.
     1.2.   Closing.  The closing (the "Closing") of the transactions contemplated hereby (the "Transactions") shall take place at the offices of Kline Law Group, PC in Irvine, CA commencing at 9:00 a.m. local time on the second business day following the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the obligations of the Parties to consummate the Transactions (other than conditions with respect to actions that the respective parties will take at Closing) or such other date and time as the Parties may mutually determine (the "Closing Date").
 
 

Exhibit 4.1 -- Page 2



 
ARTICLE II
Representations and Warranties of the Shareholder

     The Shareholder hereby represents and warrants to ZOSN with respect to itself, as follows.
     2.1.   Good Title.  The Shareholder is the record and beneficial owner, and has good title to its ESEL Stock, with the right and authority to sell and deliver such ESEL Stock.  Upon delivery of any certificate or certificates duly assigned, representing the same as herein contemplated and/or upon registering of ZOSN as the new owner of such ESEL Stock in the share register of ESEL, ZOSN will receive good title to such ESEL Stock, free and clear of all Liens.
     2.2.   Reserved.
     2.3.   Power and Authority.  The Shareholder has the legal power, capacity and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and each Transaction Document to be delivered by it hereunder and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and to consummate the Transactions.  All acts required to be taken by the Shareholder to enter into this Agreement, to deliver each Transaction Document to which it is a party and to carry out the Transactions have been properly taken.  This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Shareholder, enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance with the terms hereof, except as such enforcement is limited by general equitable principles, or by bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally.
     2.4.   No Conflicts.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the performance by the Shareholder of its obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof: (a) will not require the consent of any third party or Governmental Entity under any Laws; (b) will not violate any Laws applicable to the Shareholder ; and (c) will not violate or breach any contractual obligation to which the Shareholder is a party.
     2.5.   Litigation.  There is no pending proceeding against the Shareholder that involves the Shares or ESEL Options or that challenges, or may have the effect of preventing, delaying or making illegal, or otherwise interfering with, any of the Transactions and, to the knowledge of the Shareholder, no such proceeding has been threatened, and no event or circumstance exists that is reasonably likely to give rise to or serve as a basis for the commencement of any such proceeding.
     2.6.   No Finder's Fee.  The Shareholder has not created any obligation for any finder's, investment banker's or broker's fee in connection with the Transactions.
     2.7.   Purchase Entirely for Own Account.  The ZOSN Stock proposed to be acquired by the Shareholder hereunder will be acquired for investment for its own account, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and the Shareholder has no present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the ZOSN Stock, except in compliance with applicable securities laws.
     2.8.   Available Information.  The Shareholder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investment in ZOSN.
 
 

Exhibit 4.1 -- Page 3

 

 

     2.9.   Non-Registration.  The Shareholder understands that the ZOSN Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act and, if issued in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, will be issued by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Shareholder's 's representations as expressed herein.  The non-registration shall have no prejudice with respect to any rights, interests, benefits and entitlements attached to the ZOSN Stock in accordance with ZOSN's charter documents or the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation.
     2.10.   Restricted Securities.  The Shareholder understands that the Shares are characterized as "restricted securities" under the Securities Act inasmuch as this Agreement contemplates that, if acquired by the Shareholder pursuant hereto, the Shares would be acquired in a transaction not involving a public offering. The issuance of the Shares hereunder have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state of the U.S. and that the issuance of the ZOSN Stock is being effected in reliance upon an exemption from registration afforded under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. The Shareholder further acknowledges that if the Shares are issued to the Shareholder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, such Shares may not be resold without registration under the Securities Act or the existence of an exemption therefrom.  The Shareholder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.
     2.11.    Accredited Investor.  The Shareholder is an "Accredited Investor" within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act.
     2.12.   Legends.   The Shareholder hereby agrees with ZOSN that the ZOSN Stock will bear the following legend or one that is substantially similar to the following legend:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER SUCH SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (1) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (2) PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, IN WHICH CASE THE HOLDER MUST, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER, FURNISH TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE MANNER CONTEMPLATED PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
 
 
Exhibit 4.1 -- Page 4

 

 

     2.13.   Additional Legend; Consent. Additionally, the ZOSN Stock will bear any legend required by the "blue sky" laws of any state to the extent such laws are applicable to the securities represented by the certificate so legended.

     3.5.   No Conflicts; Consents.  The execution and delivery by ESEL of this Agreement does not, and the consummation of the Transactions and compliance with the terms hereof will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to loss of a material benefit under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of ESEL or any of its subsidiaries under, any provision of (i) the ESEL Charter, the ESEL Bylaws or the comparable charter or organizational documents of any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any material Contract to which ESEL or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which any of their respective properties or assets is bound or (iii) any material judgment, order or decree or material Law applicable to ESEL or any of its subsidiaries or their respective properties or assets, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, any such items that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a ESEL Material Adverse Effect.
