SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

 

This Share Exchange Agreement (this “ Agreement ”), dated as of September 11, 2009 is by and among Princeton Acquisitions, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“ Princeton Acquisitions ”), Hunter Bates Mining Corporation (“ Hunter Bates ”), and the shareholders of Hunter Bates identified on Annex A hereto (the “ Shareholder(s) ”).  Each of the parties to this Agreement is individually referred to herein as a “ Party ” and are collectively, the “ Parties .”

 

BACKGROUND

 

As of the date hereof, 100% of the capital stock of Hunter Bates issued and outstanding (the “ Hunter Bates Stock ”) is owned and held by Wits Basin Precious Minerals Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“ Wits Basin ”).  Prior to the Effective Time (as defined herein), Hunter Bates contemplates completing a private placement offering of up to 3,000,000 shares of its common stock and 3,000,000 warrants to purchase shares of its common stock, after which (assuming a maximum offering) Hunter Bates anticipates having approximately 21,500,000 shares of capital stock issued and outstanding and held by the shareholders of Hunter Bates (actual shares held as of Effective Time being referred to herein as the “ Shareholders Stock ”) and an additional 4,500,000 shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants.  The Shareholders have agreed to transfer each share of Shareholders Stock (and each right to acquire a share of Shareholders Stock) to Princeton Acquisitions in exchange for one newly issued share of common stock of Princeton Acquisitions (the “ Princeton Acquisitions Stock ”) (and right to acquire a share of Princeton Acquisitions Stock, as applicable), and as a result the shareholders of Hunter Bates immediately prior to the Effective Time will hold approximately 99% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Princeton Acquisitions on a fully-diluted basis as of and immediately after the Effective Time (assuming a maximum offering).  The number of shares of Princeton Acquisitions Stock to be received by the Shareholders are listed on Annex A and are referred to herein as the “ Shares .”  The transaction shall be referred to as the “ Share Exchange .”

 

The exchange of the Shareholders Stock for Princeton Acquisitions Stock is intended to constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or such other tax free reorganization exemptions that may be available under such code.

 

The Board of Directors of Princeton Acquisitions and Hunter Bates have each 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

Exchange of Shares

 

1.1.          Exchange by the Shareholders .  At the Effective Time, and subject to the terms and conditions herein, the Shareholders shall sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to Princeton Acquisitions the Shareholders Stock, free and clear of all Liens, in exchange for fully paid and nonassessable shares of Princeton Acquisitions Stock on a one-for-one basis (collectively, the Princeton Acquisitions Stock issued hereunder shall be referred to herein as the “ Shares ”).  Further, at the Effective Time, all securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Hunter Bates Stock (including without limitation warrants to purchase shares of Hunter Bates Stock) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “ Hunter Bates Derivative Securities ”) shall automatically convert into and be exchanged for securities convertible into or exchangeable for that number of shares of Princeton Acquisitions Stock.

1.2.          Closing .  The closing (the “ Closing ”) of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “ Transactions ”) shall take place at the offices of Maslon Edelman Borman & Brand, LLP in Minneapolis, Minnesota, 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 ”).  To the extent required under applicable law, on the Closing Date, or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable, the Parties will cause a Statement of Share Exchange to be filed with the Colorado Secretary of State and an Articles of Exchange to be filed with the Minnesota Secretary of State, and the Share Exchange shall be effective at such time necessary filings are made, or such later time the parties agree as specified in such filings (the “ Effective Time ” or “ Effective Date ”).

 

ARTICLE II

2.2.          Hunter Bates Subsidiaries; Equity Interests .  Hunter Bates does not own, directly or indirectly, any capital stock, membership interest, partnership interest, joint venture interest or other equity interest in any person or entity.  Hunter Bates is in the process of obtaining from Wits Basin 100% of the equity interest of Gregory Gold Producers, Inc., a Colorado corporation.

2.5.          No Conflicts; Consents .

 

(a)           Except as noted in the Hunter Bates Disclosure Letter, the execution and delivery by Hunter Bates 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 Hunter Bates under, any provision of (i) the Hunter Bates Constituent Instruments, (ii) subject to the Hunter Bates Consents (as defined in Section 5.1(n) hereof), any Contract to which Hunter Bates is a party or by which its properties or assets is bound, or (iii) subject to the filings and other matters referred to in Section 2.5(b) , any material judgment, order or decree or material Law applicable to Hunter Bates or its 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 Hunter Bates Material Adverse Effect.
