 14.1 Right to Indemnification. Each Party (an “Indemnifying Party”) shall reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the other Party and its
directors, officers, employees and controlling shareholders (an “Indemnified Party”), to the full extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities of any nature whatsoever with respect to or arising from
any acts or omissions of the Indemnifying Party in its capacity as such, except to the extent that the Indemnified Party is liable for such acts or omissions because of its own gross negligence, bad faith or misconduct. 
  
 14.2 Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an
Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any claim or action, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in response thereof is to be made against the Indemnifying Party, promptly notify the Indemnifying 







 Party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it
from any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 14.1 hereof, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to so notify. In case any such action shall be brought against an
Indemnified Party and it shall notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to assume, conduct and control the defense or settlement thereof, with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party of its election so to assume, conduct and control the defense or settlement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party
under Section 14.1 for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses relating to such action, in each case subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party, unless (a) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually
agreed to the retention of such counsel or (b) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both Parties by the same counsel would be
inappropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party, due to actual or potential differing interests between them. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to pay or settle any such action without the consent of the Indemnified Party,
provided that such payment or settlement involves a full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the indemnified Party with the above thirty-day period of its election to assume, conduct and
control the defense or settlement of an action notified by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to contest, defend, settle or compromise the action in the exercise of its reasonable discretion at the expense of the
Indemnifying Party; provided that the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party of any compromise or settlement it intends to make. 
  
 14.3 Indemnification Payments. Any indemnification required hereunder to be made by the Indemnifying Party shall be made promptly following the
fixing of any liability, loss, damage, cost or expense incurred or suffered by an Indemnified Party, whether by a final judgment of any court, settlement, contract or otherwise. Subject to the provisions of Section 14.2 above, all reasonable
expenses incurred by an Indemnified Party in defending any action, suit or proceeding with respect to matters as to which such Indemnified Party is entitled to or may be entitled to indemnification shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party from time
to time as such expenses are incurred in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding. In order to receive such payments, the Indemnified Party shall agree to reimburse the Indemnifying Party for all reasonable expenses paid
by the Indemnifying Party in defending any such action, suit or proceeding against such Indemnified Party in the event and only to the extent that it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification by
the Indemnifying Party for such expenses under the provisions of this Agreement or otherwise. 
  
 14.4 Indemnification Obligations Cumulative. The obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this Section 14 shall be in addition to any other liability which the Indemnifying Party otherwise may have.








 15. Limitation of Liability 
  
 EXCEPT FOR CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF SECTION 8, 9, 10 OR 11.2 (IN THE CASE OF SECTION 11.2, CLAIMS ARISING FROM KOREA
ONLY, AND NOT OTHER CLAIMS), NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, OR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY,
ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY BREACH, DEFAULT OR TERMINATION HEREOF, WHETHER OR NOT IT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OR ANY LIMITED REMEDY PROVIDED IN THIS
AGREEMENT. 
  
 16. Publicity 
  
 The Parties shall issue a mutually agreeable joint press release regarding
this Agreement and shall not make any further announcement with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except as required by applicable law, without the prior written approval of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.

Party shall be solely responsible for its own costs and expenses in fulfilling the obligations defined in this Agreement.

the event of a conflict between the English version and the Korean version of this Agreement, the English version shall prevail. 
  
 19. Independent Contractor Relationship 
  
 Each Party shall at all times be an independent contractor, and not an employee or agent of the other Party, in connection with the performance of this
Agreement. Each Party (a) shall not enter into any contract, agreement or other commitment, or incur any obligation or liability, in the name or otherwise on behalf of the other Party; and (b) shall retain full control over the manner in which it
and its employees perform this Agreement. This Agreement shall not be construed to create a partnership, joint venture or employment relationship between the Parties. 
  
 20. Force Majeure 
  
 Except as expressly set forth herein, neither Party shall be liable for any nonperformance, delay or other loss caused by any event or conditions that are
beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, any nonperformance, delay or other loss caused by a failure of any part of the supply chain not controlled by the Party seeking excuse by virtue of this Section 20 that disrupts the
delivery of any vital product or service, any Act of God, war, strike or other labor unrest, civil disturbance, or other interruption in the ability of such Party to perform this Agreement which is beyond the reasonable control of such Party.








 21. Currency 
  
 Payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in the currency earned. 
  
 22. Further Assurances. Upon the reasonable request of either
party, the other party shall agree to and execute such documents as may be necessary to clarify the provisions hereof. 
  
 23. Notices 
  
 Any notice or other communication under this Agreement given by either Party to the other Party shall be either (a) in writing and delivered by first
class, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid or by express courier service; or (b) sent by facsimile with proof of successful transmission to the intended recipient. Notices shall be deemed received only upon actual
delivery thereof to the intended recipient. Notices shall be directed to the intended recipient at the address or numbers specified below. Either Party may from time to time change such address or numbers by giving the other Party notice of such
change in accordance with this Section 23.

 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: 
  
 e-Smart Technologies, Inc., a Nevada USA corporation, hereby acknowledges for the benefit of MYBi, Inc., a Korean corporation, that it is fully aware of
the contents of the Agreement as contained hereinabove. Further that to the best of its knowledge, all representations, warranties and covenants made by its wholly owned subsidiary, e-Smart Korea, are true and correct in all material aspects. With
respect to the proposed stock purchase and Debenture purchase, our group of companies is undergoing a corporate restructuring in order to minimize the possibility of double taxation that exists between the USA and a number of the foreign
jurisdictions in which our group is involved. Until this restructuring is finalized, neither e-Smart Korea nor the undersigned are able to state which affiliate will be the counterparty to the aforementioned securities transactions with MYBi. We can
state, however that e-Smart Korea was authorized at the holding company level of our group to make the representations concerning these purchases to you and that as of the date hereof, we have no reason to suspect that they will not occur in a
timely manner with MYBi’s cooperation. 
  
 Acknowledged By:

  
 e-Smart Technologies, Inc.
