Re:
MKHD – GCS Letter of Intent
Dear Sirs:
This Letter of Intent (“LOI”) confirms our preliminary discussions regarding a proposed acquisition by Mount Knowledge Holdings, Inc. and/or one of its affiliates (“theCompany”) of Global Convergence Solutions (“GCS”).This LOI is intended to be a non-binding expression of the current understanding of the parties regarding the terms of the proposed transaction, to be incorporated into and superseded by the execution of the Definitive Documentation as set forth in Section 3 below, the date of execution being the formal date of the closing of the contemplated transaction (“Closing” and/or Closing Date”). The Definitive Documentation will include such additional terms, conditions, representations and warranties and undertakings as mutually agreed to by the parties. Except as provided inSection 5 through 11 below, no legally binding obligations will be created until the Definitive Documentation is executed and delivered by the Company and GCS.
1.
Structure; Transaction Consideration
(a)
Structure. The Company is a publicly traded company whose common stock trades on the Over-the-Counter Stock Exchange under the symbol “MKHD”. The acquisition would be accomplished by acquiring 100% of the ownership interest of GCS (the “Acquisition”) from its shareholders (the “GCS Shareholders”), thereby becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Company, in accordance with the terms of an executed definitive stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) to be negotiated by the parties. The parties will jointly determine the optimum tax structure for the transaction in order to best satisfy tax planning, regulatory and other considerations. In addition, the total liability of the GCS Shareholders in connection with the transaction under the Stock Purchase Agreement and any other documents executed in connection therewith shall be limited to 25% of the consideration initially received by the GCS Shareholders under the Stock Purchase Agreement.

(b)
Transaction Consideration. Based upon current and projected financials of GCS and other information provided by GCS and the GCS Shareholders, the Company’s understanding of GCS’s business, and the due diligence conducted to date, and assuming GCS continues to conduct business in the ordinary course prior to the Closing of the Acquisition and there is no meaningful change in its borrowing and distribution practices (other than the contemplated distribution to the GCS Shareholders prior to Closing) , the Company would be prepared to provide total aggregate transaction consideration in accordance with the terms and conditions of Schedule A, attached hereto.
2.
Definitive Documentation. The Company and the GCS Shareholders shall negotiate in good faith to finalize and execute as soon as is reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than July 20, 2012: (a) a definitive Stock Purchase Agreement, containing terms and conditions consistent with those described herein including the limitation on liability of the GCS Shareholders , and other covenants, representations, warranties, indemnities, closing conditions and other provisions customary for transactions of this type, and (b) such other ancillary agreements as are customary to consummate the transactions contemplated herein (collectively, the “Definitive Documentation”).
3.
Post-Closing Officers and Directors. Upon the Closing of the Acquisition: (i) all of the officers and employees of the Company serving at the time of the Acquisition shall resign their respective positions with Company, unless otherwise required for the transition after the Acquisition, as mutually agreed, which resignations shall be effective immediately and new officers shall be appointed , as set forth in Schedule A, attached hereto, and(ii) the board of directors of Company shall be reconstituted such that complies with an adopted corporate governance policy of the Company, as required by the rules and regulations set forth by Sarbanes-Oxley and consistent with the terms set forth in Schedule A ..

Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey or the Superior Court of New Jersey for Middlesex County for any litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein and agrees not to commence any litigation relating thereto except in such courts.
