Exhibit 10.2

 

GUARANTY COMPENSATION AGREEMENT

 

This Guaranty Compensation Agreement (this “Agreement”) dated October 31, 2018
and effective November 1, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), is by and among Donald P.
Monaco, an individual (“Monaco”) and Monaker Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation
(“Monaker”), each a “Party” and collectively the “Parties.”

W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, Monaco, as a member of the Board of Directors and as a significant
shareholder of Monaker, has previously entered into a personal guarantee with a
financial institution providing a line of credit to the Company, on behalf of
and at the request of Monaker (collectively, the “Guarantees”);

 

WHEREAS, the Guarantees were entered into solely for the benefit of Monaker and
were, and are still, of substantial benefit to Monaker;

 

WHEREAS, Monaker desires for Monaco to continue to maintain such Guarantees and
provide certain additional guarantees in the future; and

 

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to enter into this Agreement to provide Monaco
consideration for providing, and continuing to maintain, the Guarantees, as set
forth in greater detail below.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants,
agreements, and considerations herein contained, and other consideration, which
consideration the Parties hereby acknowledge and confirm the receipt and
sufficiency thereof, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.             Guarantee Consideration.

 

(a)           For as long as Monaco continues to serve on the Board of Directors
of Monaker and continues to maintain the Guarantees (which term shall include
any and all guarantees which Monaco shall enter into in favor of Monaker after
the date of this Agreement), Monaker shall pay him a $2,000 per month guarantee
fee (the “Guarantee Fee”).

 

(b)           In the event (i) Monaco is not nominated for re-appointment to the
Board of Directors at any meeting where directors of Monaker are nominated for
appointment (except in the event Monaker adopts a classified Board and it is not
yet Monaco’s year to be re-elected and/or in the event that Monaco is appointed
via written consent of the shareholders without a meeting) or (ii) Monaco is
removed from the Board of Directors by the shareholders of Monaker (each (i) and
(ii), as applicable, a “Triggering Termination” and the date of such Triggering
Termination, the “Triggering Termination Date”), Monaker will immediately use
commercially reasonable best efforts to eliminate and terminate any and all
Guarantees.

(c)           If all the Guarantees are not terminated by the thirtieth (30th)
day following a Triggering Termination Date, for each month the Guarantees
remain in place, beginning on the thirty-first (31st) day of the Triggering
Termination Date, the monthly Guarantee Fee will be $10,000 per month.
Notwithstanding the above, all Guarantee Fees will terminate upon Monaker
assuming or terminating such Guarantees (the “Guarantee Termination”).

 

(d)           This Agreement shall remain in place until the earlier of (i) the
Guarantee Termination; and (ii) the date this Agreement, or the obligations
hereunder, are mutually terminated by Monaco and Monaker.

 

2.             Mutual Representations, Covenants and Warranties. Each of the
Parties, for themselves and for the benefit of each of the other Parties hereto,
represents, covenants and warranties that:

otherwise, to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. This Agreement constitutes the
legal, valid and binding obligation of such Party enforceable against such Party
in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws
affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles;

 

(b)           The execution and delivery by such Party and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and shall not, by the
lapse of time, the giving of notice or otherwise: (i) constitute a violation of
any law; or (ii) constitute a breach of any provision contained in, or a default
under, any governmental approval, any writ, injunction, order, judgment or
decree of any governmental authority or any contract to which such Party is
bound or affected; and

 

(c)           Any individual executing this Agreement on behalf of an entity has
authority to act on behalf of such entity and has been duly and properly
authorized to sign this Agreement on behalf of such entity.

 

3.             Further Assurances. The Parties agree that, from time to time,
each of them will take such other action and to execute, acknowledge and deliver
such contracts, deeds, or other documents as may be reasonably requested and
necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement

at arm’s-length between persons knowledgeable in the matters set forth within
this Agreement. Accordingly, given that all Parties have had the opportunity to
draft, review and/or edit the language of this Agreement, no presumption for or
against any Party arising out of drafting all or any part of this Agreement will

constitute one and the same instrument. Any such counterpart, to the extent
delivered by means of a facsimile machine or by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg or

Agreement and deliver such form to all other Parties. No Party shall raise the
use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature

Party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates
to lack of authenticity.
