RE:Potential transaction by and among XCR Diagnostics, Inc., a Delaware, corporation (hereinafter "XCR Diagnostics") and Bioethics, Ltd. ("PubCo"), a Nevada corporation, wherein XCR Diagnostics becomes a financially consolidated subsidiary of a public entity.   

 

Additional Parties:PubCo, and certain of its creditors and affiliates, are interested parties in this transaction ("BOTH Parties").   

 

(All Bold items above refer to parties to the transaction and shall be referred to collectively as "Parties", or individually as a "Party").

 

Dear Mr. Powelson:

 

This non-binding letter memorandum ("Memo" or "Term Sheet") is being conveyed to formalize and memorialize the terms we propose regarding the above referred to Acquisition (hereinafter referred to as "Acquisition" or "Transaction").  

 

The primary objectives of XCR Diagnostics are to (1) ensure that the current owners of XCR Diagnostics can maintain management control and remain entitled to the majority of the profits from XCR Diagnostics’ operations through management fees and dividends; (2) improve its ability to raise money and on better terms by being in a position to offer to investors shares in a publicly traded company; (3) be able to enhance publicity about XCR Diagnostics via public press releases; and (4) provide a path to liquidity for its stockholders through ownership of public stock shares.

 

The primary objectives of PubCo are to investigate potential opportunities, particularly focusing upon existing privately held businesses whose owners are willing to consider merging their businesses into PubCo to salvage and/or increase value for PubCo’s existing stockholders. The business(es) we acquire is expected to need an injection of cash to facilitate their future operations. That expectation is mapped out herein.

 

Upon approval by the Parties to the proposed Transaction, counsel for: (i) XCR Diagnostics and (ii) PubCo shall be charged to commit these terms to legal documents.

 

The terms contained herein shall not be binding as terms in the final Acquisition agreement or as a legal commitment to engage in the Transaction (or any Transaction for that matter); however, insofar as a particular term specifically addresses and

modifies a prior written and binding term of a prior written agreement, subject to a prospective writing to contrary, the terms contained herein shall be the legal terms

agreed to by and among the Parties with respect to that term in this Memo and the related prior writing.
