NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, Company and Investor hereby agree as follows:

the date of the issuance and sale of the Note pursuant to this Agreement (the “Closing Date”) shall be March
5, 2021, or another mutually agreed upon date. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”)
shall occur on the Closing Date by means of the exchange by email of signed .pdf documents, but shall be deemed for all purposes

costs, due diligence, monitoring and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities
(the “Transaction Expense Amount”), all of which amount is included in the initial principal balance of the
Note. The “Purchase Price”, therefore, shall be $11,000,000.00, computed as follows: $13,210,000.00 initial
principal balance, less the OID, less the Transaction Expense Amount. The portions of the OID and the Transaction Expense Amount
allocated to the Initial Cash Purchase Price are as set forth on Exhibit C.

4.
Company Covenants. Until all of Company’s obligations under all of the Transaction Documents are paid and performed
in full, or within the timeframes otherwise specifically set forth below, Company will at all times comply with the following
covenants: (i) Company will timely file on the applicable deadline all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to Sections
13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act; (ii) when issued, the Conversion Shares will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid for and
non-assessable, free and clear of all liens, claims, charges and encumbrances; (iii) the Common Stock shall be listed or quoted
for trading on any of (a) NYSE, (b) NASDAQ, (c) OTCQX, (d) OTCQB, or (e) OTC Pink; (iv) trading in Company’s Common Stock
will not be suspended, halted, chilled, frozen, reach zero bid or otherwise cease trading on Company’s principal trading
market; (v) Company will not enter into any equity line of credit or other financing transaction that places any limitations or
restrictions on Company’s ability to issue Common Stock to Investor; (vi) Company will not transfer, assign, sell, pledge,
hypothecate or otherwise alienate or encumber the Investor Notes in any way without the prior written consent of Investor, which
consent may be given or withheld in Investor’s sole and absolute discretion; (vii) Company will use the proceeds hereunder
to pay for audit and accounting fees related to the 2020 Form 10-K filing; and (viii) Company will not make any Variable Security
Issuance (as defined below) without Investor’s prior written consent, which consent may be given or withheld in Investor’s
sole and absolute discretion. For purposes hereof, the term “Variable Security Issuance” means any issuance
of Company securities that (A) have or may have conversion rights of any kind, contingent, conditional or otherwise, in which
the number of shares that may be issued pursuant to such conversion right varies with the market price of the Common Stock, or
(B) are or may become convertible into Common Stock (including without limitation convertible debt, warrants or convertible preferred
stock), with a conversion price that varies with the market price of the Common Stock, even if such security only becomes convertible
following an event of default, the passage of time, or another trigger event or condition. For avoidance of doubt, the issuance
of shares of Common Stock under, pursuant to, in exchange for or in connection with any contract or instrument, whether convertible
or not, is deemed a Variable Security Issuance for purposes hereof if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued is based
upon or related in any way to the market price of the Common Stock, including, but not limited to, Common Stock issued in connection
with a Section 3(a)(9) exchange, a Section 3(a)(10) settlement, or any other similar settlement or exchange.


 


5.

5.2.

these conditions are for Investor’s sole benefit and may be waived by Investor at any time in its sole discretion:


 


6.1.
Company shall have executed this Agreement and the Note and delivered the same to Investor.


 




    	4



     


    

 


6.2.
Company shall have delivered to Investor a fully executed Irrevocable Letter of Instructions to Transfer Agent (the “TA
Letter”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D acknowledged and agreed to in writing by Company’s
transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”).


 


6.3.

as Exhibit E evidencing Company’s approval of the Transaction Documents.


 


6.4.
Company shall have delivered to Investor a fully executed Share Issuance Resolution substantially in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit F to be delivered to the Transfer Agent.


 


6.5.
Company shall have delivered to Investor fully executed copies of all other Transaction Documents required to be executed by Company

7.
Reservation of Shares. On the date hereof, Company will reserve 300,000,000 shares of Common Stock from its authorized
and unissued Common Stock to provide for all issuances of Common Stock under the Note (the “Share Reserve”).
Beginning on the earlier of the date that is six (6) months from the Closing Date and the date that is one (1) month from effectiveness
of the Registration Statement (the “Share Reserve Increase Date”), Company agrees to add additional shares
of Common Stock to the Share Reserve if as of the Share Reserve Increase Date the number of shares held in the Share Reserve is
less than two (2) times the number of shares of Common Stock obtained by dividing the fully funded portion of the Outstanding
Balance (as defined in the Note) as of such date by the Conversion Price (as defined in the Note). At all times after the Share
Reserve Increase Date, Company further agrees to add additional shares of Common Stock to the Share Reserve in increments of 10,000,000
shares as and when requested by Investor if as of the date of any such request the number of shares being held in the Share Reserve
is less than two (2) times the number of shares of Common Stock obtained by dividing the fully funded portion of the Outstanding
Balance as of the date of the request by the Conversion Price. Company shall further require the Transfer Agent to hold the shares
of Common Stock reserved pursuant to the Share Reserve exclusively for the benefit of Investor and to issue such shares to Investor
promptly upon Investor’s delivery of a Conversion Notice under the Note. Finally, Company shall require the Transfer Agent
to issue shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Note to Investor out of its authorized and unissued shares, and not the Share
Reserve, to the extent shares of Common Stock have been authorized, but not issued, and are not included in the Share Reserve.
The Transfer Agent shall only issue shares out of the Share Reserve to the extent there are no other authorized shares available
for issuance and then only with Investor’s written consent.


 


8.
Terms of Future Financings. So long as the Note is outstanding, upon any issuance by Company of any security with any term
or condition more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the holder of such security that was not
similarly provided to Investor in the Transaction Documents, then Company shall notify Investor of such additional or more favorable
term and such term, at Investor’s option, shall become a part of the Transaction Documents for the benefit of Investor.
Additionally, if Company fails to notify Investor of any such additional or more favorable term, but Investor becomes aware that
Company has granted such a term to any third party, Investor may notify Company of such additional or more favorable term and
such term shall become a part of the Transaction Documents retroactive to the date on which such term was granted to the applicable
third party. The types of terms contained in another security that may be more favorable to the holder of such security include,
but are not limited to, terms addressing conversion discounts, conversion lookback periods, interest rates, original issue discounts,
stock sale price, conversion price per share, warrant coverage, warrant exercise price, and anti-dilution/conversion and exercise
price resets.


 




    	5



     


    

 


9.
Miscellaneous. The provisions set forth in this Section 9 shall apply to this Agreement, as well as all other Transaction
Documents as if these terms were fully set forth therein; provided, however, that in the event there is a conflict between any
provision set forth in this Section 9 and any provision in any other Transaction Document, the provision in such other Transaction
Document shall govern.


 


9.1.
Arbitration of Claims. The parties shall submit all Claims (as defined in Exhibit G) arising under this Agreement
or any other Transaction Document or any other agreement between the parties and their affiliates or any Claim relating to the
relationship of the parties to binding arbitration pursuant to the arbitration provisions set forth in Exhibit G attached
hereto (the “Arbitration Provisions”). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the injunction described
in Section 9.3 below may be pursued in an arbitration that is separate and apart from any other arbitration regarding all other
Claims arising under the Transaction Documents. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Arbitration Provisions are unconditionally
binding on the parties hereto and are severable from all other provisions of this Agreement. By executing this Agreement, Company
represents, warrants and covenants that Company has reviewed the Arbitration Provisions carefully, consulted with legal counsel
about such provisions (or waived its right to do so), understands that the Arbitration Provisions are intended to allow for the
expeditious and efficient resolution of any dispute hereunder, agrees to the terms and limitations set forth in the Arbitration
Provisions, and that Company will not take a position contrary to the foregoing representations. Company acknowledges and agrees
that Investor may rely upon the foregoing representations and covenants of Company regarding the Arbitration Provisions.


 


9.2.
Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the
construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State
of Utah, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any
other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Utah. Each party
consents to and expressly agrees that the exclusive venue for arbitration of any dispute arising out of or relating to any Transaction
Document or the relationship of the parties or their affiliates shall be in Salt Lake County, Utah. Without modifying the parties’
obligations to resolve disputes hereunder pursuant to the Arbitration Provisions, for any litigation arising in connection with
any of the Transaction Documents (and notwithstanding the terms (specifically including any governing law and venue terms) of
any transfer agent services agreement or other agreement between the Transfer Agent and Company, such litigation specifically
includes, without limitation any action between or involving Company and the Transfer Agent under the TA Letter or otherwise related
to Investor in any way (specifically including, without limitation, any action where Company seeks to obtain an injunction, temporary
restraining order, or otherwise prohibit the Transfer Agent from issuing shares of Common Stock to Investor for any reason)),
each party hereto hereby (i) consents to and expressly submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of any state or federal
court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah, (ii) expressly submits to the exclusive venue of any such court for the purposes hereof,
(iii) agrees to not bring any such action (specifically including, without limitation, any action where Company seeks to obtain
an injunction, temporary restraining order, or otherwise prohibit the Transfer Agent from issuing shares of Common Stock to Investor
for any reason) outside of any state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah, and (iv) waives any claim of improper
venue and any claim or objection that such courts are an inconvenient forum or any other claim, defense or objection to the bringing
of any such proceeding in such jurisdiction or to any claim that such venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Finally,
Company covenants and agrees to name Investor as a party in interest in, and provide written notice to Investor in accordance
with Section 9.9 below prior to bringing or filing, any action (including without limitation any filing or action against any
person or entity that is not a party to this Agreement, including without limitation the Transfer Agent) that is related in any
way to the Transaction Documents or any transaction contemplated herein or therein, including without limitation any action brought
by Company to enjoin or prevent the issuance of any shares of Common Stock to Investor by the Transfer Agent, and further agrees
to timely name Investor as a party to any such action. Company acknowledges that the governing law and venue provisions set forth
in this Section 9.2 are material terms to induce Investor to enter into the Transaction Documents and that but for Company’s
agreements set forth in this Section 9.2 Investor would not have entered into the Transaction Documents.

9.3.
Specific Performance. Company acknowledges and agrees that Investor may suffer irreparable harm in the event that Company
fails to perform any material provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents in accordance with its specific
terms. It is accordingly agreed that Investor shall be entitled to one or more injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the
provisions of this Agreement or such other Transaction Document and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or
thereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the Investor may be entitled under the Transaction Documents, at
law or in equity. Company specifically agrees that following an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) under the Note, Investor
shall have the right to seek and receive injunctive relief from a court or an arbitrator prohibiting Company from issuing any
of its common or preferred stock to any party unless the Note is being paid in full simultaneously with such issuance. Company
specifically acknowledges that Investor’s right to obtain specific performance constitutes bargained for leverage and that
the loss of such leverage would result in irreparable harm to Investor. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event Investor seeks
to obtain an injunction from a court or an arbitrator against Company or specific performance of any provision of any Transaction
Document, such action shall not be a waiver of any right of Investor under any Transaction Document, at law, or in equity, including
without limitation its rights to arbitrate any Claim pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents, nor shall Investor’s
pursuit of an injunction prevent Investor, under the doctrines of claim preclusion, issues preclusion, res judicata or other similar
legal doctrines, from pursuing other Claims in the future in a separate arbitration.


 


9.4.
Counterparts. Each Transaction Document may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. The parties hereto confirm that any electronic copy of another
party’s executed counterpart of a Transaction Document (or such party’s signature page thereof) will be deemed to
be an executed original thereof.


 


9.5.
Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not form part of, or affect the
interpretation of, this Agreement.


 


9.6.
Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute
or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed
modified to conform to such statute or rule of law. Any provision hereof which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.


 


9.7.
Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Transaction Documents, contains the entire understanding of the
parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither
Company nor Investor makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. For the avoidance
of doubt, all prior term sheets or other documents between Company and Investor, or any affiliate thereof, related to the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents (collectively, “Prior Agreements”), that may have been entered into
between Company and Investor, or any affiliate thereof, are hereby null and void and deemed to be replaced in their entirety by
the Transaction Documents. To the extent there is a conflict between any term set forth in any Prior Agreement and the term(s)
of the Transaction Documents, the Transaction Documents shall govern.


 


9.8.
Amendments. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by both
parties hereto.

9.13.
Investor’s Rights and Remedies Cumulative. All rights, remedies, and powers conferred in this Agreement and the Transaction
Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies, and shall be in addition to every other right, power,

is entered on all claims asserted by such party and regardless of the amount of the judgment; or where, due to the assertion of
counterclaims, judgments are entered in favor of and against both parties, then the arbitrator shall determine the “prevailing
party” by taking into account the relative dollar amounts of the judgments or, if the judgments involve nonmonetary relief,
the relative importance and value of such relief. Nothing herein shall restrict or impair an arbitrator’s or a court’s
power to award fees and expenses for frivolous or bad faith pleading. If (i) the Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for
collection or enforcement prior to commencing arbitration or legal proceedings, or is collected or enforced through any arbitration
or legal proceeding, or Investor otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under the Note or to enforce the provisions of
the Note, or (ii) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of Borrower or other proceedings affecting Borrower’s
creditors’ rights and involving a claim under the Note; then Borrower shall pay the costs incurred by Investor for such
collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including,
without limitation, attorneys’ fees, expenses, deposition costs, and disbursements.


 


9.15.
Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in the form of a writing signed by
the party granting the waiver. No waiver of any provision or consent to any prohibited action shall constitute a waiver of any
other provision or consent to any other prohibited action, whether or not similar. No waiver or consent shall constitute a continuing
waiver or consent or commit a party to provide a waiver or consent in the future except to the extent specifically set forth in
writing.


 


9.16.
Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO DEMAND
THAT ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT,
OR THE RELATIONSHIPS OF THE PARTIES HERETO BE TRIED BY JURY. THIS WAIVER EXTENDS TO ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO DEMAND A TRIAL BY JURY
ARISING UNDER COMMON LAW OR ANY APPLICABLE STATUTE, LAW, RULE OR REGULATION. FURTHER, EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SUCH
PARTY IS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVING SUCH PARTY’S RIGHT TO DEMAND TRIAL BY JURY.


 


9.17.
Time is of the Essence. Time is expressly made of the essence with respect to each and every provision of this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents.


 


9.18.
Voluntary Agreement. Company has carefully read this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents and has asked
any questions needed for Company to understand the terms, consequences and binding effect of this Agreement and each of the other
Transaction Documents and fully understand them. Company has had the opportunity to seek the advice of an attorney of Company’s
choosing, or has waived the right to do so, and is executing this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents voluntarily
and without any duress or undue influence by Investor or anyone else.

Exhibit
G


 


ARBITRATION
PROVISIONS


 


1.
Dispute Resolution. For purposes of this Exhibit G, the term “Claims” means any disputes, claims,
demands, causes of action, requests for injunctive relief, requests for specific performance, liabilities, damages, losses, or
controversies whatsoever arising from, related to, or connected with the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents
and any communications between the parties related thereto, including without limitation any claims of mutual mistake, mistake,
fraud, misrepresentation, failure of formation, failure of consideration, promissory estoppel, unconscionability, failure of condition
precedent, rescission, and any statutory claims, tort claims, contract claims, or claims to void, invalidate or terminate the
Agreement (or these Arbitration Provisions (defined below)) or any of the other Transaction Documents. For the avoidance of doubt,
Investor’s pursuit of an injunction or other Claim pursuant to these Arbitration Provisions or with a court will not later
prevent Investor under the doctrines of claim preclusion, issue preclusion, res judicata or other similar legal doctrines from
pursuing other Claims in a separate arbitration in the future. The parties to this Agreement (the “parties”)
hereby agree that the Claims may be arbitrated in one or more Arbitrations pursuant to these Arbitration Provisions (one for an
injunction or injunctions and a separate one for all other Claims). The term “Claims” specifically excludes a dispute
over Calculations. The parties to the Agreement hereby agree that the arbitration provisions set forth in this Exhibit G
(“Arbitration Provisions”) are binding on each of them. As a result, any attempt to rescind the Agreement (or
these Arbitration Provisions) or declare the Agreement (or these Arbitration Provisions) or any other Transaction Document invalid
or unenforceable for any reason is subject to these Arbitration Provisions. These Arbitration Provisions shall also survive any
termination or expiration of the Agreement. Any capitalized term not defined in these Arbitration Provisions shall have the meaning
set forth in the Agreement.


 


2.
Arbitration. Except as otherwise provided herein, all Claims must be submitted to arbitration (“Arbitration”)
to be conducted exclusively in Salt Lake County, Utah and pursuant to the terms set forth in these Arbitration Provisions. Subject
to the arbitration appeal right provided for in Paragraph 5 below (the “Appeal Right”), the parties agree that
the award of the arbitrator rendered pursuant to Paragraph 4 below (the “Arbitration Award”) shall be (a) final
and binding upon the parties, (b) the sole and exclusive remedy between them regarding any Claims, counterclaims, issues, or accountings
presented or pleaded to the arbitrator, and (c) promptly payable in United States dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset
(with respect to monetary awards). Subject to the Appeal Right, any costs or fees, including without limitation attorneys’
fees, incurred in connection with or incident to enforcing the Arbitration Award shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law,
be charged against the party resisting such enforcement. The Arbitration Award shall include default interest (as defined or otherwise
provided for in the Note, “Default Interest”) (with respect to monetary awards) at the rate specified in the
Note for Default Interest both before and after the Arbitration Award. Judgment upon the Arbitration Award will be entered and
enforced by any state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah.


 


3.
The Arbitration Act. The parties hereby incorporate herein the provisions and procedures set forth in the Utah Uniform
Arbitration Act, U.C.A. § 78B-11-101 et seq. (as amended or superseded from time to time, the “Arbitration
Act”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to, and to the maximum extent permitted by, Section 105 of the Arbitration
Act, in the event of conflict or variation between the terms of these Arbitration Provisions and the provisions of the Arbitration
Act, the terms of these Arbitration Provisions shall control and the parties hereby waive or otherwise agree to vary the effect
of all requirements of the Arbitration Act that may conflict with or vary from these Arbitration Provisions.


 


4.
Arbitration Proceedings. Arbitration between the parties will be subject to the following:


 


4.1
Initiation of Arbitration. Pursuant to Section 110 of the Arbitration Act, the parties agree that a party may initiate
Arbitration by giving written notice to the other party (“Arbitration Notice”) in the same manner that notice
is permitted under Section 9.9 of the Agreement; provided, however, that the Arbitration Notice may not be given by email
or fax. Arbitration will be deemed initiated as of the date that the Arbitration Notice is deemed delivered to such other party
under Section 9.9 of the Agreement (the “Service Date”). After the Service Date, information may be delivered,
and notices may be given, by email or fax pursuant to Section 9.9 of the Agreement or any other method permitted thereunder. The
Arbitration Notice must describe the nature of the controversy, the remedies sought, and the election to commence Arbitration
proceedings. All Claims in the Arbitration Notice must be pleaded consistent with the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure.


 




    	 



     


    

 


4.2
Selection and Payment of Arbitrator.


 


(a)
Within ten (10) calendar days after the Service Date, Investor shall select and submit to Company the names of three (3) arbitrators
that are designated as “neutrals” or qualified arbitrators by Utah ADR Services (http://www.utahadrservices.com)
(such three (3) designated persons hereunder are referred to herein as the “Proposed Arbitrators”). For the
avoidance of doubt, each Proposed Arbitrator must be qualified as a “neutral” with Utah ADR Services. Within five
(5) calendar days after Investor has submitted to Company the names of the Proposed Arbitrators, Company must select, by written
notice to Investor, one (1) of the Proposed Arbitrators to act as the arbitrator for the parties under these Arbitration Provisions.
If Company fails to select one of the Proposed Arbitrators in writing within such 5-day period, then Investor may select the arbitrator
from the Proposed Arbitrators by providing written notice of such selection to Company.


 


(b)
If Investor fails to submit to Company the Proposed Arbitrators within ten (10) calendar days after the Service Date pursuant
to subparagraph (a) above, then Company may at any time prior to Investor so designating the Proposed Arbitrators, identify the
names of three (3) arbitrators that are designated as “neutrals” or qualified arbitrators by Utah ADR Service by written
notice to Investor. Investor may then, within five (5) calendar days after Company has submitted notice of its Proposed Arbitrators
to Investor, select, by written notice to Company, one (1) of the Proposed Arbitrators to act as the arbitrator for the parties
under these Arbitration Provisions. If Investor fails to select in writing and within such 5-day period one (1) of the three (3)
Proposed Arbitrators selected by Company, then Company may select the arbitrator from its three (3) previously selected Proposed
Arbitrators by providing written notice of such selection to Investor.


 


(c)
If a Proposed Arbitrator chosen to serve as arbitrator declines or is otherwise unable to serve as arbitrator, then the party
that selected such Proposed Arbitrator may select one (1) of the other three (3) Proposed Arbitrators within three (3) calendar
days of the date the chosen Proposed Arbitrator declines or notifies the parties he or she is unable to serve as arbitrator. If
all three (3) Proposed Arbitrators decline or are otherwise unable to serve as arbitrator, then the arbitrator selection process
shall begin again in accordance with this Paragraph 4.2.


 


(d)
The date that the Proposed Arbitrator selected pursuant to this Paragraph 4.2 agrees in writing (including via email) delivered
to both parties to serve as the arbitrator hereunder is referred to herein as the “Arbitration Commencement Date”.
If an arbitrator resigns or is unable to act during the Arbitration, a replacement arbitrator shall be chosen in accordance with
this Paragraph 4.2 to continue the Arbitration. If Utah ADR Services ceases to exist or to provide a list of neutrals and there
is no successor thereto, then the arbitrator shall be selected under the then prevailing rules of the American Arbitration Association.


 


(e)
Subject to Paragraph 4.10 below, the cost of the arbitrator must be paid equally by both parties. Subject to Paragraph 4.10 below,
if one party refuses or fails to pay its portion of the arbitrator fee, then the other party can advance such unpaid amount (subject
to the accrual of Default Interest thereupon), with such amount being added to or subtracted from, as applicable, the Arbitration
Award.


 


4.3
Applicability of Certain Utah Rules. The parties agree that the Arbitration shall be conducted generally in accordance
with the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure and the Utah Rules of Evidence. More specifically, the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure shall
apply, without limitation, to the filing of any pleadings, motions or memoranda, the conducting of discovery, and the taking of
any depositions. The Utah Rules of Evidence shall apply to any hearings, whether telephonic or in person, held by the arbitrator.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the parties’ intent that the incorporation of such rules will in no event supersede
these Arbitration Provisions. In the event of any conflict between the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure or the Utah Rules of Evidence
and these Arbitration Provisions, these Arbitration Provisions shall control.


 


4.4
Answer and Default. An answer and any counterclaims to the Arbitration Notice shall be required to be delivered to the
party initiating the Arbitration within twenty (20) calendar days after the Arbitration Commencement Date. If an answer is not
delivered by the required deadline, the arbitrator must provide written notice to the defaulting party stating that the arbitrator
will enter a default award against such party if such party does not file an answer within five (5) calendar days of receipt of
such notice. If an answer is not filed within the five (5) day extension period, the arbitrator must render a default award, consistent
with the relief requested in the Arbitration Notice, against a party that fails to submit an answer within such time period.


 




    	 



     


    

 


4.5
Related Litigation. The party that delivers the Arbitration Notice to the other party shall have the option to also commence
concurrent legal proceedings with any state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah (“Litigation Proceedings”),
subject to the following: (a) the complaint in the Litigation Proceedings is to be substantially similar to the claims set forth
in the Arbitration Notice, provided that an additional cause of action to compel arbitration will also be included therein, (b)
so long as the other party files an answer to the complaint in the Litigation Proceedings and an answer to the Arbitration Notice,
the Litigation Proceedings will be stayed pending an Arbitration Award (or Appeal Panel Award (defined below), as applicable)
hereunder, (c) if the other party fails to file an answer in the Litigation Proceedings or an answer in the Arbitration proceedings,
then the party initiating Arbitration shall be entitled to a default judgment consistent with the relief requested, to be entered
in the Litigation Proceedings, and (d) any legal or procedural issue arising under the Arbitration Act that requires a decision
of a court of competent jurisdiction may be determined in the Litigation Proceedings. Any award of the arbitrator (or of the Appeal
Panel (defined below)) may be entered in such Litigation Proceedings pursuant to the Arbitration Act.


 


4.6
Discovery. Pursuant to Section 118(8) of the Arbitration Act, the parties agree that discovery shall be conducted as follows:


 


(a)
Written discovery will only be allowed if the likely benefits of the proposed written discovery outweigh the burden or expense
thereof, and the written discovery sought is likely to reveal information that will satisfy a specific element of a claim or defense
already pleaded in the Arbitration. The party seeking written discovery shall always have the burden of showing that all of the
standards and limitations set forth in these Arbitration Provisions are satisfied. The scope of discovery in the Arbitration proceedings
shall also be limited as follows:


 


(i)
To facts directly connected with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.


 


(ii)
To facts and information that cannot be obtained from another source or in another manner that is more convenient, less burdensome
or less expensive than in the manner requested.


 


(b)
No party shall be allowed (i) more than fifteen (15) interrogatories (including discrete subparts), (ii) more than fifteen (15)
requests for admission (including discrete subparts), (iii) more than ten (10) document requests (including discrete subparts),
or (iv) more than three (3) depositions (excluding expert depositions) for a maximum of seven (7) hours per deposition. The costs
associated with depositions will be borne by the party taking the deposition. The party defending the deposition will submit a
notice to the party taking the deposition of the estimated attorneys’ fees that such party expects to incur in connection
with defending the deposition. If the party defending the deposition fails to submit an estimate of attorneys’ fees within
five (5) calendar days of its receipt of a deposition notice, then such party shall be deemed to have waived its right to the
estimated attorneys’ fees. The party taking the deposition must pay the party defending the deposition the estimated attorneys’
fees prior to taking the deposition, unless such obligation is deemed to be waived as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.
If the party taking the deposition believes that the estimated attorneys’ fees are unreasonable, such party may submit the
issue to the arbitrator for a decision. All depositions will be taken in Utah.


 


(c)
All discovery requests (including document production requests included in deposition notices) must be submitted in writing to
the arbitrator and the other party. The party submitting the written discovery requests must include with such discovery requests
a detailed explanation of how the proposed discovery requests satisfy the requirements of these Arbitration Provisions and the
Utah Rules of Civil Procedure. The receiving party will then be allowed, within five (5) calendar days of receiving the proposed
discovery requests, to submit to the arbitrator an estimate of the attorneys’ fees and costs associated with responding
to such written discovery requests and a written challenge to each applicable discovery request. After receipt of an estimate
of attorneys’ fees and costs and/or challenge(s) to one or more discovery requests, consistent with subparagraph (c) above,
the arbitrator will within three (3) calendar days make a finding as to the likely attorneys’ fees and costs associated
with responding to the discovery requests and issue an order that (i) requires the requesting party to prepay the attorneys’
fees and costs associated with responding to the discovery requests, and (ii) requires the responding party to respond to the
discovery requests as limited by the arbitrator within twenty-five (25) calendar days of the arbitrator’s finding with respect
to such discovery requests. If a party entitled to submit an estimate of attorneys’ fees and costs and/or a challenge to
discovery requests fails to do so within such 5-day period, the arbitrator will make a finding that (A) there are no attorneys’
fees or costs associated with responding to such discovery requests, and (B) the responding party must respond to such discovery
requests (as may be limited by the arbitrator) within twenty-five (25) calendar days of the arbitrator’s finding with respect
to such discovery requests. Any party submitting any written discovery requests, including without limitation interrogatories,
requests for production subpoenas to a party or a third party, or requests for admissions, must prepay the estimated attorneys’
fees and costs, before the responding party has any obligation to produce or respond to the same, unless such obligation is deemed
waived as set forth above.


 




    	 



     


    

 


(d)
In order to allow a written discovery request, the arbitrator must find that the discovery request satisfies the standards set
forth in these Arbitration Provisions and the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure. The arbitrator must strictly enforce these standards.
If a discovery request does not satisfy any of the standards set forth in these Arbitration Provisions or the Utah Rules of Civil
Procedure, the arbitrator may modify such discovery request to satisfy the applicable standards, or strike such discovery request
in whole or in part.


 


(e)
Each party may submit expert reports (and rebuttals thereto), provided that such reports must be submitted within sixty (60) days
of the Arbitration Commencement Date. Each party will be allowed a maximum of two (2) experts. Expert reports must contain the
following: (i) a complete statement of all opinions the expert will offer at trial and the basis and reasons for them; (ii) the
expert’s name and qualifications, including a list of all the expert’s publications within the preceding ten (10)
years, and a list of any other cases in which the expert has testified at trial or in a deposition or prepared a report within
the preceding ten (10) years; and (iii) the compensation to be paid for the expert’s report and testimony. The parties are
entitled to depose any other party’s expert witness one (1) time for no more than four (4) hours. An expert may not testify
in a party’s case-in-chief concerning any matter not fairly disclosed in the expert report.


 


4.6
Dispositive Motions. Each party shall have the right to submit dispositive motions pursuant Rule 12 or Rule 56 of the Utah
Rules of Civil Procedure (a “Dispositive Motion”). The party submitting the Dispositive Motion may, but is
not required to, deliver to the arbitrator and to the other party a memorandum in support (the “Memorandum in Support”)
of the Dispositive Motion. Within seven (7) calendar days of delivery of the Memorandum in Support, the other party shall deliver
to the arbitrator and to the other party a memorandum in opposition to the Memorandum in Support (the “Memorandum in
Opposition”). Within seven (7) calendar days of delivery of the Memorandum in Opposition, as applicable, the party that
submitted the Memorandum in Support shall deliver to the arbitrator and to the other party a reply memorandum to the Memorandum
in Opposition (“Reply Memorandum”). If the applicable party shall fail to deliver the Memorandum in Opposition
as required above, or if the other party fails to deliver the Reply Memorandum as required above, then the applicable party shall
lose its right to so deliver the same, and the Dispositive Motion shall proceed regardless.


 


4.7
Confidentiality. All information disclosed by either party (or such party’s agents) during the Arbitration process
(including without limitation information disclosed during the discovery process or any Appeal (defined below)) shall be considered
confidential in nature. Each party agrees not to disclose any confidential information received from the other party (or its agents)
during the Arbitration process (including without limitation during the discovery process or any Appeal) unless (a) prior to or
after the time of disclosure such information becomes public knowledge or part of the public domain, not as a result of any inaction
or action of the receiving party or its agents, (b) such information is required by a court order, subpoena or similar legal duress
to be disclosed if such receiving party has notified the other party thereof in writing and given it a reasonable opportunity
to obtain a protective order from a court of competent jurisdiction prior to disclosure, or (c) such information is disclosed
to the receiving party’s agents, representatives and legal counsel on a need to know basis who each agree in writing not
to disclose such information to any third party. Pursuant to Section 118(5) of the Arbitration Act, the arbitrator is hereby authorized
and directed to issue a protective order to prevent the disclosure of privileged information and confidential information upon
the written request of either party.


 


4.8
Authorization; Timing; Scheduling Order. Subject to all other portions of these Arbitration Provisions, the parties hereby
authorize and direct the arbitrator to take such actions and make such rulings as may be necessary to carry out the parties’
intent for the Arbitration proceedings to be efficient and expeditious. Pursuant to Section 120 of the Arbitration Act, the parties
hereby agree that an Arbitration Award must be made within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the Arbitration Commencement
Date. The arbitrator is hereby authorized and directed to hold a scheduling conference within ten (10) calendar days after the
Arbitration Commencement Date in order to establish a scheduling order with various binding deadlines for discovery, expert testimony,
and the submission of documents by the parties to enable the arbitrator to render a decision prior to the end of such 120-day
period.


 




    	 



     


    

 


4.9
Relief. The arbitrator shall have the right to award or include in the Arbitration Award (or in a preliminary ruling) any
relief which the arbitrator deems proper under the circumstances, including, without limitation, specific performance and injunctive
relief, provided that the arbitrator may not award exemplary or punitive damages.


 


4.10
Fees and Costs. As part of the Arbitration Award, the arbitrator is hereby directed to require the losing party (the party
being awarded the least amount of money by the arbitrator, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be determined without regard
to any statutory fines, penalties, fees, or other charges awarded to any party) to (a) pay the full amount of any unpaid costs
and fees of the Arbitration, and (b) reimburse the prevailing party for all reasonable attorneys’ fees, arbitrator costs
and fees, deposition costs, other discovery costs, and other expenses, costs or fees paid or otherwise incurred by the prevailing
party in connection with the Arbitration.


 


5.
Arbitration Appeal.


 


5.1
Initiation of Appeal. Following the entry of the Arbitration Award, either party (the “Appellant”) shall
have a period of thirty (30) calendar days in which to notify the other party (the “Appellee”), in writing,
that the Appellant elects to appeal (the “Appeal”) the Arbitration Award (such notice, an “Appeal
Notice”) to a panel of arbitrators as provided in Paragraph 5.2 below. The date the Appellant delivers an Appeal Notice
to the Appellee is referred to herein as the “Appeal Date”. The Appeal Notice must be delivered to the Appellee
in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 4.1 above with respect to delivery of an Arbitration Notice. In addition, together
with delivery of the Appeal Notice to the Appellee, the Appellant must also pay for (and provide proof of such payment to the
Appellee together with delivery of the Appeal Notice) a bond in the amount of 110% of the sum the Appellant owes to the Appellee
as a result of the Arbitration Award the Appellant is appealing. In the event an Appellant delivers an Appeal Notice to the Appellee
(together with proof of payment of the applicable bond) in compliance with the provisions of this Paragraph 5.1, the Appeal will
occur as a matter of right and, except as specifically set forth herein, will not be further conditioned. In the event a party
does not deliver an Appeal Notice (along with proof of payment of the applicable bond) to the other party within the deadline
prescribed in this Paragraph 5.1, such party shall lose its right to appeal the Arbitration Award. If no party delivers an Appeal
Notice (along with proof of payment of the applicable bond) to the other party within the deadline described in this Paragraph
5.1, the Arbitration Award shall be final. The parties acknowledge and agree that any Appeal shall be deemed part of the parties’
agreement to arbitrate for purposes of these Arbitration Provisions and the Arbitration Act.


 


5.2
Selection and Payment of Appeal Panel. In the event an Appellant delivers an Appeal Notice to the Appellee (together with
proof of payment of the applicable bond) in compliance with the provisions of Paragraph 5.1 above, the Appeal will be heard by
a three (3) person arbitration panel (the “Appeal Panel”).


 


(a)
Within ten (10) calendar days after the Appeal Date, the Appellee shall select and submit to the Appellant the names of five (5)
arbitrators that are designated as “neutrals” or qualified arbitrators by Utah ADR Services (http://www.utahadrservices.com)
(such five (5) designated persons hereunder are referred to herein as the “Proposed Appeal Arbitrators”). For
the avoidance of doubt, each Proposed Appeal Arbitrator must be qualified as a “neutral” with Utah ADR Services, and
shall not be the arbitrator who rendered the Arbitration Award being appealed (the “Original Arbitrator”).
Within five (5) calendar days after the Appellee has submitted to the Appellant the names of the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators,
the Appellant must select, by written notice to the Appellee, three (3) of the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators to act as the members
of the Appeal Panel. If the Appellant fails to select three (3) of the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators in writing within such 5-day
period, then the Appellee may select such three (3) arbitrators from the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators by providing written notice
of such selection to the Appellant.


 


(b)
If the Appellee fails to submit to the Appellant the names of the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators within ten (10) calendar days after
the Appeal Date pursuant to subparagraph (a) above, then the Appellant may at any time prior to the Appellee so designating the
Proposed Appeal Arbitrators, identify the names of five (5) arbitrators that are designated as “neutrals” or qualified
arbitrators by Utah ADR Service (none of whom may be the Original Arbitrator) by written notice to the Appellee. The Appellee
may then, within five (5) calendar days after the Appellant has submitted notice of its selected arbitrators to the Appellee,
select, by written notice to the Appellant, three (3) of such selected arbitrators to serve on the Appeal Panel. If the Appellee
fails to select in writing within such 5-day period three (3) of the arbitrators selected by the Appellant to serve as the members
of the Appeal Panel, then the Appellant may select the three (3) members of the Appeal Panel from the Appellant’s list of
five (5) arbitrators by providing written notice of such selection to the Appellee.


 




    	 



     


    

 


(c)
If a selected Proposed Appeal Arbitrator declines or is otherwise unable to serve, then the party that selected such Proposed
Appeal Arbitrator may select one (1) of the other five (5) designated Proposed Appeal Arbitrators within three (3) calendar days
of the date a chosen Proposed Appeal Arbitrator declines or notifies the parties he or she is unable to serve as an arbitrator.
If at least three (3) of the five (5) designated Proposed Appeal Arbitrators decline or are otherwise unable to serve, then the
Proposed Appeal Arbitrator selection process shall begin again in accordance with this Paragraph 5.2; provided, however,
that any Proposed Appeal Arbitrators who have already agreed to serve shall remain on the Appeal Panel.


 


(d)
The date that all three (3) Proposed Appeal Arbitrators selected pursuant to this Paragraph 5.2 agree in writing (including via
email) delivered to both the Appellant and the Appellee to serve as members of the Appeal Panel hereunder is referred to herein
as the “Appeal Commencement Date”. No later than five (5) calendar days after the Appeal Commencement Date,
the Appellee shall designate in writing (including via email) to the Appellant and the Appeal Panel the name of one (1) of the
three (3) members of the Appeal Panel to serve as the lead arbitrator in the Appeal proceedings. Each member of the Appeal Panel
shall be deemed an arbitrator for purposes of these Arbitration Provisions and the Arbitration Act, provided that, in conducting
the Appeal, the Appeal Panel may only act or make determinations upon the approval or vote of no less than the majority vote of
its members, as announced or communicated by the lead arbitrator on the Appeal Panel. If
an arbitrator on the Appeal Panel ceases or is unable to act during the Appeal proceedings, a replacement arbitrator shall be
chosen in accordance with Paragraph 5.2 above to continue the Appeal as a member of the Appeal Panel. If Utah ADR Services
ceases to exist or to provide a list of neutrals, then the arbitrators for the Appeal Panel shall be selected under the then prevailing
rules of the American Arbitration Association.


 


(d)
Subject to Paragraph 5.7 below, the cost of the Appeal Panel must be paid entirely by the Appellant.


 


5.3
Appeal Procedure. The Appeal will be deemed an appeal of the entire Arbitration Award. In conducting the Appeal, the Appeal
Panel shall conduct a de novo review of all Claims described or otherwise set forth in the Arbitration Notice. Subject to the
foregoing and all other provisions of this Paragraph 5, the Appeal Panel shall conduct the Appeal in a manner the Appeal Panel
considers appropriate for a fair and expeditious disposition of the Appeal, may hold one or more hearings and permit oral argument,
and may review all previous evidence and discovery, together with all briefs, pleadings and other documents filed with the Original
Arbitrator (as well as any documents filed with the Appeal Panel pursuant to Paragraph 5.4(a) below). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in connection with the Appeal, the Appeal Panel shall not permit the parties to conduct any additional discovery or raise any
new Claims to be arbitrated, shall not permit new witnesses or affidavits, and shall not base any of its findings or determinations
on the Original Arbitrator’s findings or the Arbitration Award.


 


5.4
Timing.


 


(a)
Within seven (7) calendar days of the Appeal Commencement Date, the Appellant (i) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Appeal Panel copies of the Appeal Notice, all discovery conducted in connection with the Arbitration, and all briefs, pleadings
and other documents filed with the Original Arbitrator (which material Appellee shall have the right to review and supplement
if necessary), and (ii) may, but is not required to, deliver to the Appeal Panel and to the Appellee a Memorandum in Support of
the Appellant’s arguments concerning or position with respect to all Claims, counterclaims, issues, or accountings presented
or pleaded in the Arbitration. Within seven (7) calendar days of the Appellant’s delivery of the Memorandum in Support,
as applicable, the Appellee shall deliver to the Appeal Panel and to the Appellant a Memorandum in Opposition to the Memorandum
in Support. Within seven (7) calendar days of the Appellee’s delivery of the Memorandum in Opposition, as applicable, the
Appellant shall deliver to the Appeal Panel and to the Appellee a Reply Memorandum to the Memorandum in Opposition. If the Appellant
shall fail to substantially comply with the requirements of clause (i) of this subparagraph (a), the Appellant shall lose its
right to appeal the Arbitration Award, and the Arbitration Award shall be final. If the Appellee shall fail to deliver the Memorandum
in Opposition as required above, or if the Appellant shall fail to deliver the Reply Memorandum as required above, then the Appellee
or the Appellant, as the case may be, shall lose its right to so deliver the same, and the Appeal shall proceed regardless.


 




    	 



     


    

 


(b)
Subject to subparagraph (a) above, the parties hereby agree that the Appeal must be heard by the Appeal Panel within thirty (30)
calendar days of the Appeal Commencement Date, and that the Appeal Panel must render its decision within thirty (30) calendar
days after the Appeal is heard (and in no event later than sixty (60) calendar days after the Appeal Commencement Date).


 


5.5
Appeal Panel Award. The Appeal Panel shall issue its decision (the “Appeal Panel Award”) through the
lead arbitrator on the Appeal Panel. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, the Appeal Panel Award shall (a) supersede
in its entirety and make of no further force or effect the Arbitration Award (provided that any protective orders issued by the
Original Arbitrator shall remain in full force and effect), (b) be final and binding upon the parties, with no further rights
of appeal, (c) be the sole and exclusive remedy between the parties regarding any Claims, counterclaims, issues, or accountings
presented or pleaded in the Arbitration, and (d) be promptly payable in United States dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset
(with respect to monetary awards). Any costs or fees, including without limitation attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection
with or incident to enforcing the Appeal Panel Award shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be charged against the party
resisting such enforcement. The Appeal Panel Award shall include Default Interest (with respect to monetary awards) at the rate
specified in the Note for Default Interest both before and after the Arbitration Award. Judgment upon the Appeal Panel Award will
be entered and enforced by a state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah.


 


5.6

Panel deems proper under the circumstances, including, without limitation, specific performance and injunctive relief, provided
that the Appeal Panel may not award exemplary or punitive damages.


 


5.7
Fees and Costs. As part of the Appeal Panel Award, the Appeal Panel is hereby directed to require the losing party (the
party being awarded the least amount of money by the arbitrator, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be determined without
regard to any statutory fines, penalties, fees, or other charges awarded to any party) to (a) pay the full amount of any unpaid
costs and fees of the Arbitration and the Appeal Panel, and (b) reimburse the prevailing party (the party being awarded the most
amount of money by the Appeal Panel, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be determined without regard to any statutory fines,
penalties, fees, or other charges awarded to any part) the reasonable attorneys’ fees, arbitrator and Appeal Panel costs
and fees, deposition costs, other discovery costs, and other expenses, costs or fees paid or otherwise incurred by the prevailing
party in connection with the Arbitration (including without limitation in connection with the Appeal).
