SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

 

This Settlement Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made the 14th day of November 2014 (the “Execution Date”) by and between Forex International Trading Corp., a Nevada corporation with an address at 49 Front Street, Suite 206, Rockville Centre, New York 11570, (“FXIT”), and Leova Dobris (“Holder”) (each a “Party” and collectively the “Parties”).

 

WITNESSETH:

 

Whereas, on January 26, 2012, Direct JV Investments Inc. ("JV"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of FXIT, and Vulcan Oil & Gas Inc. ("Vulcan"), entered into an agreement whereby JV agreed to provide funding to certain alternative, green and solar energy projects that Vulcan was associated with, in exchange for a 40% interest in Vulcan’s portion of such projects (the “Joint Venture”);

 

Whereas, JV provided Vulcan with $68,000 in cash and services valued at $31,327.93 for a total investment of $99,327.93 (the “Investment”);

 

Whereas, on January 7, 2013, JV, FXIT and Vulcan entered into an agreement pursuant to which the parties terminated the Joint Venture and FXIT issued a Convertible Promissory Note to Vulcan in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 (the “Forex Note”) and, in consideration for FXIT issuing the Forex Note, Vulcan issued to FXIT a Secured and Collateralized Promissory Note in the principle amount of $400,000 which included the Investment (the “Vulcan Note”);  

 

Whereas, Holder claims that prior to December 15, 2012, a debt investment in the amount of $50,000 (the "Vulcan Debt Investment") was made by Holder or on Holder's behalf in order to fund Vulcan and that FXIT had guaranteed the Vulcan Investment made by Holder;

 

Whereas, Vulcan has since been dissolved and, prior to Vulcan's dissolution, Vulcan failed to pay Holder back the Vulcan Debt Investment and assigned the Forex Note to Holder;

 

Whereas, Holder has threatened to commence litigation against Forex in connection with its guarantee of the Vulcan Debt Investment and to proceed against Forex in connection with the Forex Note;

 

Whereas, the Parties now desire to terminate any and all agreements between them and to resolve all disputes existing between them, which are the subject of Holder’s draft complaint which has yet to be filed, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, releases, and payments provided for herein, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.                  Obligations Among the Parties; Option. (a) By the Parties executing this Agreement and in consideration of the release set forth below, FXIT hereby agrees to issue the Holder 1,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Settlement Shares”) at a cost basis of $0.12 per share representing aggregate consideration of $120,000 (the “Settlement Amount”). The stock certificate representing the Settlement Shares shall bear the standard 1933 Act restrictive legend. If the Settlement Shares are not received by Holder by the 28th day of November 2014, FXIT shall be deemed to be in default of this Agreement. In the event of a default by FXIT without obtaining prior approval by Holder, Holder may, upon five (5) days written notice to FXIT, pursue legal action to enforce the terms of this Agreement, plus agreed 100% damages. The Certificate representing the Settlement Shares shall be sent to Holder at the following address:
