5.              Mutual Release.  In consideration of the agreements set forth herein, the Company and each Purchaser hereby agree as follows:

 

a.  Release by Company:

 

i.                  Company does hereby release, acquit and forever discharge each Purchaser and their respective past and present officers, directors, attorneys, affiliates, members, managers, employees and agents, of and from any and all claims, demands, obligations, liabilities, indebtedness, breaches of contract, breaches of duty or of any relationship, acts, omissions, misfeasance, malfeasance, causes of action, defenses, offsets, debts, sums of money, accounts, compensation, contracts, controversies, promises, damages, costs, losses and expenses, of every type, kind, nature, description or character, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, liquidated or unliquidated, each as though fully set forth herein at length (each, a “Company Released Claim” and collectively, the “Company Released Claims”), that Company hereunder has as of the Effective Date or may acquire in any way arising out of, connected with or related to the Original First Tranche Notes.

 

ii.               Each person signing below on behalf of Company hereunder acknowledges that he or she has read each of the provisions of this Section 5(a). Each such person fully understands that this Section 5(a) has important legal consequences, and each such person realizes that they are releasing any and all Company Released Claims that Company may have. Company hereby acknowledges that each of them has had an opportunity to obtain a lawyer’s advice concerning the legal consequences of each of the provisions of this Section 5(a).

 

iii.            Company hereby specifically acknowledges and agrees that: (x) none of the provisions of this Section 5(a) shall be construed as or constitute an admission of any liability on the part of any Purchaser; (y) the provisions of this Section 5(a) shall constitute an absolute bar to any Company Released Claim of any kind, whether any such Company Released Claim is based on contract, tort, warranty, mistake or any other theory, whether legal, statutory or equitable; and (z) any attempt to assert a Company Released Claim barred by the provisions of this Section 5(a) shall subject Company to the provisions of applicable law setting forth the remedies for the bringing of groundless, frivolous or baseless claims or causes of action.

 

iv.           Company expressly waives any and all rights and benefits conferred upon it by Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California (and any similar or like statute or other law which may be applicable), which states as follows:

 

3

 

“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

 

The Company expressly agrees and understands that the release given by it pursuant to this provision applies to all unknown, unsuspected and unanticipated Claims which it may have against the Purchasers that it has released. Company understands and acknowledges that the significance and consequence of this waiver of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code (and any similar or like statute or other law which may be applicable) is that even if it should eventually suffer additional damages relating in any way to any dispute, that Company will not be permitted to make any claim for those damages against the Purchasers that it has released pursuant to this Agreement. Furthermore, Company acknowledges that it intends these consequences even as to claims for damages that may now exist as of the date of this Agreement but which are not known to exist, and which, if known would materially affect its decision to execute these releases, regardless of whether their lack of knowledge, or the lack of knowledge of any one of them, is the result of ignorance, oversight, error, negligence, or any other cause.

 

b. Release by the Purchasers.

 

i.                  Each Purchaser hereunder, for itself and on behalf of its respective successors and assigns, does hereby release, acquit and forever discharge Company and Jaguar and all of their respective past and present officers, directors, attorneys, affiliates, employees and agents, of and from any and all claims, demands, obligations, liabilities, indebtedness, breaches of contract, breaches of duty or of any relationship, acts, omissions, misfeasance, malfeasance, causes of action, defenses, offsets, debts, sums of money, accounts, compensation, contracts, controversies, promises, damages, costs, losses and expenses, of every type, kind, nature, description or character, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, liquidated or unliquidated, each as though fully set forth herein at length (each, a “Purchaser Released Claim” and collectively, the “Purchaser Released Claims”), that any Purchaser hereunder now has as of the Effective Date or may acquire in any way arising out of, connected with or related to the Original First Tranche Notes.

 

ii.               Each person signing below on behalf of any Purchaser hereunder acknowledges that he or she has read each of the provisions of this Section 5(b). Each such person fully understands that this Section 5(b) has important legal consequences, and each such person realizes that they are releasing any and all Purchaser Released Claims that any such Purchaser may have. Each Purchaser hereunder hereby acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to obtain a lawyer’s advice concerning the legal consequences of each of the provisions of this Section 5(b).

 

4

 

iii.            Each Purchaser hereby specifically acknowledges and agrees that: (x) none of the provisions of this Section 5(b) shall be construed as or constitute an admission of any liability on the part of Company; (y) the provisions of this Section 5(b) shall constitute an absolute bar to any Purchaser Released Claim of any kind, whether any such Purchaser Released Claim is based on contract, tort, warranty, mistake or any other theory, whether legal, statutory or equitable; and (iii) any attempt to assert a Purchaser Released Claim barred by the provisions of this Section 5(b) shall subject each Purchaser to the provisions of applicable law setting forth the remedies for the bringing of groundless, frivolous or baseless claims or causes of action.

 

iv.           Each Purchaser expressly waives any and all rights and benefits conferred upon it by Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California (and any similar or like statute or other law which may be applicable), which states as follows:

 

“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

 

Each Purchaser expressly agrees and understands that the release given by it pursuant to this provision applies to all unknown, unsuspected and unanticipated Claims which it may have against the Company that it has released. Each Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the significance and consequence of this waiver of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code (and any similar or like statute or other law which may be applicable) is that even if it should eventually suffer additional damages relating in any way to any dispute, that no Purchaser will be permitted to make any claim for those damages against the Company that it has released pursuant to this Agreement. Furthermore, each Purchaser acknowledges that it intends these consequences even as to claims for damages that may now exist as of the date of this Agreement but which are not known to exist, and which, if known would materially affect its decision to execute these releases, regardless of whether their lack of knowledge, or the lack of knowledge of any one of them, is the result of ignorance, oversight, error, negligence, or any other cause.

 

6.              Conditions to Effectiveness.  This Second Amendment shall become effective when executed and delivered by each of the parties hereto.

 

7.              Ratifications.  Except as expressly modified and superseded by this Second Amendment as set forth in Section 2 hereof, the terms and provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement are ratified and confirmed and shall continue in full force and effect.

 

8.              Severability.  Any provision of this Second Amendment held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable shall not impair or invalidate the remainder of this Second Amendment and the effect thereof shall be confined to the provision so held to be invalid or unenforceable.

 

5

 

9.              APPLICABLE LAW.  THIS SECOND AMENDMENT AND ALL OTHER DOCUMENTS EXECUTED PURSUANT HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE.

 

10.       Counterparts.  This Second Amendment may be executed and delivered in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  Execution of this Second Amendment via facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g., .pdf) shall be effective, and signatures received via facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be binding upon the parties hereto and shall be effective as originals.

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into this 12th day of February, 2018, (“Effective Date”) by and between Lone Star Gold, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Corporation"), and William R. Alessi, Jr. (the "Employee").

 

R E C I T A L S:

 

WHEREAS, the Corporation desires to employ the Employee for the term provided herein, and the Employee desires to be employed by the Corporation for such term, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

AGREEMENT

 

The Corporation hereby employs the Employee and the Employee accepts such employment, on the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.

 

	
 
	
1. 
	
Term

  

	
 
	a.	Basic Term: The Corporation shall employ Employee for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending upon the earlier of (i) two (2) year(s) from the Effective Date (the "Term Date"), as extended under Section 1(b); or (ii) the date upon which the employment is terminated in accordance with Section 1.(c) or 4.
	
 
	
 
	
 

	
 
	b.	Renewal: Employee's employment will be renewed automatically for an additional one (1) year period (without any action by either party) on the Term Date and on each anniversary thereof, unless one party gives to the other written notice sixty (60) days in advance of the beginning of any one-year renewal period that the employment is to be terminated. Either party may elect not to renew this Agreement with or without cause, in which case Employee shall not be entitled to any Severance. Nothing stated in this Agreement or represented orally or in writing to either party shall create an obligation to renew this Agreement.
	
 
	
 
	
 

	
 
	c.	The employment of the Employee hereunder shall at all times be “at will” and shall continue unless earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

 

	
 
	2.	Position and Responsibilities

 

	
 
		Position: Employee shall hold the titles of Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Principal Financial Officer (“CFO”) and shall report directly to the Board of Directors. Employee's duties and responsibilities shall be commensurate with his positions as CEO and CFO. Employee shall abide by the Corporation's rules, regulations, and practices as they may from time-to-time be adopted or modified.

 

	 
	1
	

 
	 

 

	
 
	3.	Compensation and Benefits

 

	
 
	a.	Base Salary: In consideration of the services to be rendered under this Agreement, the Corporation shall pay Employee a salary at the rate of $30,100 Thirty Thousand One Hundred Dollars per year ("Base Salary") payable in the restricted preferred stock of the Corporation, par value $0.001, or the equivalent of Thirty Million preferred shares in addition to the restricted common stock of the Corporation, par value $0.001, or the equivalent of One Hundred Thousand shares per year (the “Shares”), both are earned in full on the Effective Date each year, subject to deduction for applicable payroll taxes, and non-refundable, non-cancellable, and non-apportionable upon execution hereof and the shares were not, are not, and shall not be construed as a prepayment for future services. The Corporation also agrees that if the Agreement is terminated for any reason, the Shares cannot and will not be returned to the Corporation. The Base Salary may not be decreased, except upon a mutual written agreement between the parties.
	
 
	
 
	
 

	
 
	b.	Liquidity/Non-Dilution/Non-Split Protection/Enforcement: In consideration of the risk that Employee will take by accepting the Corporation’s restricted and unmarketable Shares as payment in lieu of cash for compensation, employee shall have the following liquidity, non-dilution, and non-reverse-split protection:
	
 
	
 
	
 

	
 
	
 
	
As long as Employee holds at least one hundred (100) shares of the Shares immediately prior to the change of control event in this sub-paragraph, for the five-year period following the effective date of a change of control event with the management of the Corporation, Employee shall retain an equity position in the Corporation equivalent to four and 95/100th’s percent (4.95%) of the Corporation’s post-reverse split and share issuance shares. Upon each issuances of the Corporation’s shares regardless of reason, or the incurrence of any debt obligation by the Corporation (whether payable in the Corporation’s equity by its terms or not), whether incurred voluntarily or involuntarily, and upon each reverse-split declared by the Corporation, the Corporation shall automatically issue and deliver to Employee a stock certificate for the Corporation’s preferred shares in the amount of the difference between Employee’s number of post-reverse-split and/or post-dilutive issuance of shares and the number of Employee’s pre-reverse-split and/or pre-dilutive shares. 

 

	 
	2
	

 
	 

 

 

	
 
	
 
	
For the purpose of calculating the equity issuable upon settlement of a debt obligation of the Corporation, the issued and outstanding shares of the Corporation of which Employee shall maintain 4.95% shall be based upon the preferred shares theoretically issuable to settle the full principal and interest due on the obligation at maturity based upon the lesser of the value per share actually of $0.001, regardless of whether a settlement will occur, has occurred, or is unlikely to occur.

 

Corporation may at any reasonable time obtain from Employee evidence of the quantity of Employee’s Shares outstanding.

 

As long as Employee holds at least one hundred (100) shares of the Shares, the Corporation shall quarterly and annually prepare its financial statements according to generally accepted accounting principles and post them publicly in order for the Employee to be able to sell the Shares in compliance with the requirements of SEC Rule 144. 

 

The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur to Employee’s property and livelihood if this subsection (b) was not performed in accordance with the terms hereof. In addition to any other remedy to which Employee is entitled at law or in equity, this sub-paragraph (b) is enforceable by Employee by the remedy of specific performance, plus payment of all reasonable attorney’s fees, expenses and costs, in addition to special and consequential damages for any loss of market opportunity available to Employee but for the Corporation’s failure to deliver Shares or failure to allow Employee to remove any restriction or restrictive legend from Shares. 

 

	
 
	c.	Bonus: Employee shall be eligible for any bonus program or plan that is established by the Corporation for similarly situated employees. The Corporation's Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, may establish a bonus program or plan for Employee.
	
 
	
 
	
 

	
 
	d.	Benefits: The Corporation will provide Employee with all medical, dental, eye-care, disability and life insurance benefits in accordance with the benefit plans established by the Corporation for similarly-situated executives (as may be amended from time to time in the Corporation's sole discretion) and will pay all premiums for coverage of Employee and his family. The Corporation shall also provide Employee with at least five weeks of paid vacation leave annually, which shall accrue monthly (i.e., 2 1/12th days shall accrue each month) and shall be governed by the Corporation's regular policies and practices regarding vacation leave (as may be amended from time to time in the Corporation's sole discretion). Employee shall also be eligible to participate in any additional benefits made generally available by the Corporation to similarly-situated employees, in accordance with the benefit plans established by the Corporation, which may be amended or terminated at any time in the Corporation's sole discretion.

 

	 
	3
	

 
	 

 

	
 
	e.	Expenses: The Corporation shall reimburse Employee for all reasonable business expenses incurred in the performance of his or her duties hereunder in accordance with the Corporation's expense reimbursement guidelines.

	9.	Waiver. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
