to render the services contemplated by this Agreement. Consultant is not responsible for the performance of any services that
may be rendered hereunder if the Company fails to provide the requested information in writing prior thereto. The services of

shall pay Consultant $20,000.00 (exclusive of agreed upon extraordinary expenses). The first payment of $10,000.00 shall be paid
to Consultant: (i) upon execution of this Agreement, and (ii) the second payment of $10,000.00 upon the filing of the June 30,
2020 Quarterly Report. In addition, the Consultant shall receive 100,000 shares of common stock (the “Shares”) of
the Company upon execution of the Agreement. The shares shall be issued as book entry in the name of the Consultant, or its designee
(the “Shareholder”), and shall be released to the Shareholder upon the filing of the September 30, 2020 Quarterly

all applicable state and federal laws governing self-employed individuals, including obligations such as payment of taxes, social

agrees to indemnify and defend the Company against any and all such taxes or contributions, including penalties and interest.

regarding the business operations of the other and agree to keep all such information secret and confidential and not to use or
disclose any such information to any individual or organization without the non-disclosing Parties prior written consent. It is

purposes of this Agreement.

7.
INDEMNIFICATION. Each Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other
Party (the “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, and liabilities, including any and all
expense and costs, legal or otherwise, caused by the negligent act or omission of the Indemnifying Party, its subcontractors,
agents, or employees, incurred by the Indemnified Party in the investigation and defense of any claim, demand, or action arising
out of the work performed under this Agreement; including breach of the Indemnifying Party of this Agreement. The Indemnifying
Party shall not be liable for any claims, damages, or liabilities caused by the sole negligence of the Indemnified Party, its
subcontractors, agents, or employees.


 


The
Indemnified Party shall notify promptly the Indemnifying Party of the existence of any claim, demand, or other matter to which
the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations would apply, and shall give them a reasonable opportunity to settle
or defend the same at their own expense and with counsel of their own selection, provided that the Indemnified Party shall at
all times also have the right to fully participate in the defense. If the Indemnifying Party, within a reasonable time after this
notice, fails to take appropriate steps to settle or defend the claim, demand, or the matter, the Indemnified Party shall, upon
written notice, have the right, but not the obligation, to undertake such settlement or defense and to compromise or settle the
claim, demand, or other matter on behalf, for the account, and at the risk, of the Indemnifying Party.


 


The
rights and obligations of the Parties under this Article shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns,
and heirs of the Parties.
