UPNT is not subject to any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any court, arbitrator or administrative, governmental or regulatory authority or body.
(ix)
No Violation of Agreements. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the carrying out of its purposes by the Sellers, nor the execution and delivery and the carrying out of the agreements and performance of the obligations by UPNT as contemplated herein, will result in the breach of any of the terms or conditions of, or constitute a default under or violate, UPNT's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or any agreement, lease, mortgage, bond, indenture, license or other document or undertaking, oral or written, to which UPNT is a party or is bound or may be affected, nor will such execution, delivery and carrying out violate any
4
order, writ, injunction, decree, law, rule or regulation of any court, regulatory agency or other governmental body.
(x)
Trading Status. UPNT’s common stock is listed for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, with the symbol “UPNT.” To the knowledge of Sellers and UPNT, UPNT has not been threatened and is not subject to removal of its common stock from the OTC Bulletin Board nor is it aware that its DTC eligible status is in any way threatened or impaired.
(xi)
SEC Status. The common stock of UPNT is registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). UPNT has filed all reports required by the applicable regulations of the SEC. All of the filings by UPNT under the Exchanges Act within the past two years were true, correct and complete in all material respects when filed, were not misleading and did not omit to state any material fact which was necessary to make the statements contained in such public filings not misleading in any material respect.
(xii)
Compliance with Laws. UPNT’s operations have been conducted in all material respects in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws, rules and regulations. UPNT is not in violation of any Applicable Law.
(xiii)
Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Since August 9, 2013, the date UPNT’s last Form 10-Q was filed on Edgar:
(A)
there has not been (i) any change that has had or would have a Material Adverse Effect on the business, operations, properties, assets, or condition of UPNT or (ii) any damage, destruction, or loss to UPNT (whether or not covered by insurance) materially and adversely affecting the business, operations, properties, assets, or condition of UPNT;

Finders or Agents.

UPNT’s counsel, who is also the Escrow Agent, is being paid a flat fee of $10,000 to be deducted out of the Purchase Price in connection with doing the legal work necessary to complete this transaction and functioning as Escrow Agent, a fee that will also extinguish approximately $4,250

(xv)
No Insurance. UPNT maintains no insurance, nor does it maintain any insurance in connection with its marketing of X-Mint and Tonify on the Internet through its website, www.upliftnutrition.com. UPNT maintains no such insurance because the company that manufactures X-Mint and Tonify carries insurance and it is UPNT’s understanding that no such insurance is necessary or required.

(ii)

6

Each Purchaser is also an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 405 of the General Rules and Regulations of the Commission and as may be further defined in all relevant state and federal securities laws, including the amendments thereto in the Frank-Dodd Financial Reform Act of 2010, and each acknowledges that by the date of Closing, each will have had access to the kind of information about UPNT that would be available to them had UPNT filed a registration statement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
(e)
Sophistication.

7
(h)
Finders or Agents. No Purchaser has employed or utilized any finder in connection with this transaction, the execution of this Agreement and the carrying out of its purposes which would give any individual or firm a valid legal claim to a finder’s or agent’s fee.

1 H. Deworth Williams is also purchasing Uplift Holdings, LLC’s convertible note outstanding as part of his consideration for the shares he is and will be receiving. See Exhibit “A” hereto. At Closing, Mr. Williams will thus be UPNT’s only creditor. Mr. Williams has also agreed to pay half of the costs of the filing of the last Form 10-Q, an amount that will be run or processed through Uplift Holdings, LLC’s bank account and thus added to the outstanding balance on its convertible note.

1 Three (3) 5,000 share certificates comprising a total of 15,000 shares cannot be found by Uplift Holdings, otherwise this figure would be 10,964,000 as set forth as of today on Uplift’s shareholders’ list. Because it is not known where the certificates representing the 15,000 shares are currently located and no assurance can be made that they aren’t somehow held by, or in the possession of, a third party, and based on the small number of shares, they have been excluded from this Agreement.
2 Uplift Holdings, LLC, as part of the consideration for the sale of its 10,401,550 shares, also agrees to assign its revolving line of credit/convertible note to H. Deworth Williams, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances, at Closing, all as further set forth in footnote 1 above. A copy of the form of Assignment is attached hereto as Exhibit “A”.
3 This figure is 35,000 shares less than Mr. Lewis selling a total of 80% of his shares. This is because such 35,000 shares are subject to a claim or interest by a relative and are thus being withheld by Mr. Lewis for that purpose, resulting in his selling slightly less than 80%.
4 Subject to the preceding footnotes, this figure is generally consistent with Item 12 of Uplift Nutrition’s last Annual Report on Form 10-K other than Uplift Holdings over-reported its holdings in the 10-K by 186,000 shares. Nonetheless, the Sellers have not acquired any more shares since the date such was document filed on Edgar in late March 2013.
5 As disclosed in Section 5(a)(xiv) above, this figure will be reduced, proportionately or pro rata to each Seller, by $10,000, an amount payable to UPNT’s counsel and the Escrow Agent upon Closing.

EXHIBIT “A” to Stock Purchase Agreement
ASSIGNMENT OF CONVERTIBLE NOTE
In exchange for ten dollars ($10.00) and good and other valuable consideration from H. Deworth Williams (“Assignee”), the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, and as part of a certain Stock Purchase Agreement dated September 3, 2013, Uplift Holdings, LLC (“Assignor”), hereby demises, quit claims and forever assigns unto Assignee, all right, title and interest in and to a certain Convertible Promissory Note (“Note”) in which Uplift Nutrition, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Company”), is the Maker and in which Assignor is the Payee and Beneficiary.
There are no liens or encumbrances on the Note that are against the interests of Assignor. Assignor has full power and authority to convey its interest in and to the Note to Assignee, free and clear of any and all liens, encumbrances or other interests of anyone other than Assignor.
The purpose of the Note was to create a mechanism to finance Uplift Nutrition, Inc., in its accounting, legal and SEC filings and thereby remain current in its SEC obligations. The balance on this Note is set forth as a “shareholder payable” or “stockholder advance” item in the balance sheets of the various Edgar filings filed by the Company. The balance on the Convertible Note as of the last Form 10-Q filed by the Company slightly exceeded $25,000. This balance typically increases quarterly depending upon the advances made by Uplift Holdings, LLC, during any one quarter. It is anticipated though not guaranteed that, for the quarter ending September 30, 2013, the balance on the Note, which is hereby being assigned to Assignee, will likely be approximately $60,000.
DATED the 3rd day of September, 2013.
