William R. Doyle (collectively, the “Guarantors”).

 

WHEREAS, Borrower borrowed up to $1,500,000 from Lender (the “Loan”), and Lender
is the current holder of one or more promissory notes (the “Notes”) with respect
to the Loan;

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Loan Borrower has outstanding principal of $1,500,000
plus accrued interest of $0 (the “Total Obligation”);

 

WHEREAS, Lender has agreed to accept 15,000,000 shares of common stock issued as
of June 10th, of Borrower in escrow (the “Escrow”) to TBD, as the escrow agent
(the “Escrow Agent”), as payment in full for the Loan;

 

WHEREAS, Lender has a security interest in certain assets or all assets of the
Borrower to secure the Loan (the “Security Interest”);

 

WHEREAS, Lender borrowed funds from Atlantic Capital Bank (“ACB”) and used all
the proceeds from such loan (the “ACB Loan”) to make the Loan to Borrower;

 

WHEREAS, Guarantors guaranteed the Lender’s debt to ACB;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promise,
obligations and agreements contained herein, the parties intending to be legally
bound do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

  

1.No later than five (5) business days from the date hereof (the “Closing”),
Borrower shall cause its transfer agent to deliver a certificate representing
the Shares in the name of the Lender in Escrow pursuant to the instructions of
the Escrow Agent Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

2.Upon confirmation of delivery of the Shares in Escrow, (a) the obligations
under the Notes shall be deemed to be paid, (b) the Lender shall return all of
the Notes marked “Paid”, (c) the security interest shall be deemed terminated,
and (d) any control agreement, security agreement, pledge agreement, collateral
assignment or other security interest shall be automatically terminated.

 

3.As of the Closing, Borrower shall undertake to make, and shall make directly,
all interest payments due under the ACB Loan directly to ACB (or its successor)
for a period of six months for a total of six consecutive monthly payments. In
the event extra time is required to free up the shares, the six-monthterm can be
extended by 30 days by CMA.

 

4.The instructions to the Escrow Agent Agreement shall be as follows: the Escrow
Agent shall be authorized to sell the Shares from time to time, after six (6)
months from the date hereof, upon the joint instruction of Borrower and Lender,
at a price of no less than $.035 per share (subject to any adjustment for stock
split, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, reverse stock split
or stock dividend) (the “Floor”), so that the Escrow Agent shall complete sales
of the shares no later than July 1, 2022.

 

5.In the event that the total value received upon sale of the Shares was less
than the Total Obligation, Borrower shall promptly pay the “shortfall” in cash
or additional shares based on the fair market value of the shares of common
stock of Borrower at such time. Fair Market Value shall be defined as the value
of the shares based on the closing price on June 30, 2022, as set forth on the
OTC Pink Sheets or, if not so available, on any similar exchange, subject to
Floor price per share, it being understood that Borrower may choose to pay cash
in lieu of such shares at any time.

 

 

 

 

6.In the event the total value received upon sale of the Shares was more, at any
time based on a quarterly review, than the Total Obligation, upon receipt of the
Total Obligation, Lender shall instruct the Escrow Agent to allow the repurchase
of such remaining shares by Borrower at par value, or, at Borrower’s written
request, the assignment of such remaining shares pursuant to a call option
agreement agreed to by Borrower.

 

7.Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Borrower may prepay in cash
any unpaid portion of the Total Obligation without premium or penalty at any
time, and upon, all Borrower shall purchase all Shares held by the Escrow Agent
at a price equal to par value.

 

8.This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance
with the laws of the State of Delaware. The parties consent to the jurisdiction
of the courts located in the State of Delaware.

 

9.This Agreement, together with the Escrow Agent Agreement and instructions
thereunder, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement may be executed in
one or more counterparts. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the
parties hereto, which terms supersede and replace any prior agreements related
to the Loan, the Notes, or any security interest thereunder. Any amendment must
be in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto.

 

10.If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any party or
circumstances shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement, or the
application of such provision to the parties or circumstances other than those
to which it is so determined invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected
thereby, and each provision hereof shall be valid and shall be enforced to the
fullest extent permitted by law.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed
as of the day and year first above written.
