Mr. Mark Bradley, CEO

Green Leaf Farms Holdings, Inc.

Players Network

1771 East Flamingo Road, Suite 201A

Las Vegas, Nevada 89119

 

Dear Mr. Bradley:

Please be advised that Agritek Venture
Holdings, Inc. (“Agritek”) is terminating the Consulting Financial and Licensing Agreement (the “Agreement”)
dated March 18, 2015, by and between Agritek Holdings, Inc. and Green Leaf Farms Holdings, Inc. (“Green Leaf”) due
to a breach of contract by Green Leaf.

 

The first paragraph of the Agreement and Paragraph A are
as follows:

 

This Consulting, Financing and Licensing Agreement (“Agreement”)
is executed as of the 18th day of March, 2015 (“Effective Date”) between Agritek Venture Holdings,
Inc. (“CONSULTANT or LICENSOR”), a Delaware corporation with offices at 319 Clematis Street, Ste. 1008,
West Palm Beach, FL33401, and Green Leaf Farms Holdings Inc. (“COMPANY or LICENSEE”), with a mailing
address at 1771 East Flamingo Rd suit 201A Las Vegas Nevada, 89119. The parties enter into the following agreement.

		A.	Whereas the COMPANY has a signed Five (5) year lease agreement with two five (5) year options, to the real property located
at 203 Mayflower, North Las Vegas or such other location as the parties agree (“The Site”); as well CONSULTANT’S
own the right to land in Apex, North Las Vegas zoned for cultivation,

 

Agritek previously requested a copy
of the lease mentioned in Paragraph A, and upon receipt of such lease, Agritek learned that Green Leaf’s lease is for three
years and contains no renewal clauses. Based on this gross misrepresentation, Agritek is hereby terminating the Agreement and is
reserving all of its legal rights it may have against Green Leaf and Players Network.

 

Sincerely,

Agritek Venture Holdings, Inc.

Ms. Joan Durkin

 

 

Dear Joan:

In recognition of your prior and continued service as SVP, Chief Accounting Officer and your current additional responsibilities as Interim Chief Financial Officer for J. Crew Group, Inc. and its operating subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), we would like to make you eligible for a special discretionary long term incentive bonus pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this letter agreement (the “Agreement”).  All capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Non-Disclosure, Non-Solicitation, Non-Competition and Dispute Resolution Agreement between you and the Company dated January 22, 2013 (the “Non-Compete Agreement”).

1.Long Term Incentive Bonus.  

Provided you remain continuously and actively employed and in good standing with the Company through each applicable payment date, you will be entitled to receive the sum of $100,000.00, less any applicable and required withholdings, on or about May 5, 2015, (the “First Cash Incentive”) and the sum of $100,000.00, less any applicable and required withholdings, payable on or about May 5, 2016 (“the Second Cash Incentive”).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are terminated for Cause (as defined in the Non-Compete Agreement) or resign from your employment for any reason (other than by reason of death or disability, as determined by the Company): 

 

	
a)
	
on or before May 5, 2016, you agree to immediately repay the Company the full gross amount of the First Cash Incentive; or,

	
b)
	
on or before May 5, 2017, you agree to immediately repay the Company the full gross amount of the Second Cash Incentive.

 

 

If your employment with the Company terminates for any reason prior to any or all of the payment dates above, you will no longer be entitled to receive any of the cash incentive that would have otherwise become payable on any date subsequent to your termination.

In the event that you fail to reimburse the Company fully for the applicable amount described in the preceding sections, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies available to the Company, the Company shall be entitled to offset, in accordance with (and to the extent permitted by) Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the amounts owed by you to the Company pursuant to this Agreement against any amounts otherwise payable by the Company to you.

 

2.   Miscellaneous.

(a)This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and the Company with respect to the First and Second Cash Incentives.  This agreement is limited to the terms herein and shall not be construed to create any relationship between you and the Company other than at-will employment for all purposes.

(b)All terms, conditions and restrictions of Sections 6, 7, 9 and 10 of the Non-Compete Agreement are incorporated herein and made part hereof as if stated herein.

 

If the terms of this Agreement meet with your approval, please sign and return one copy to me.

Sincerely,

 

 

 

/s/ Lynda Markoe

This “First Amendment to Settlement Agreement” (hereinafter, the “FASA”) shall be effective as of May 1, 2015 (the “Effective Date”) by and between SPIRIT BEAR LIMITED (“Spirit Bear”) and its Assignees, and HPEV, INC. (“HPEV”); each of Spirit Bear and its Assignees and HPEV, individually a “Party” or collectively, the “Parties”.

 

WHEREAS, the Parties are signatories to that certain Settlement and Release Agreement, effective as of May 1, 2015 (the “May 1 SRA”), to resolve with finality all issues related to and arising directly and indirectly from previous agreements between them and litigations in connection therewith;

 

WHEREAS, the Parties wish to amend certain provisions of the May 1 SRA, as provided herein below;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

Except as otherwise provided in the separate indemnification agreement executed contemporaneously herewith (the “Indemnification Agreement”), such Warrants shall be delivered to Spirit Bear’s counsel as provided in Section 3.6 hereof (the date of delivery being the “Delivery Date”).

Spirit Bear agrees to return the Prior Warrants to HPEV consistent with the terms of the Indemnification Agreement.

In the event that the Court in the SDNY Matter does not enter an order of dismissal with an express right to reopen within 75 days, then the Parties agree and acknowledge that all limitations and other applicable periods are tolled, and all positions and defenses are preserved, such that the Parties’ rights in any action re-filed in the ensuing 75-day period will be as they existed as of the date of initial filing of the SDNY Matter. The Parties hereby stipulate and agree that as of the Effective Date, to the fullest extent of their ability, any and all discovery or other deadlines in or associated with the Lawsuits are and shall be treated as stayed or held in abeyance until such time as the Lawsuits are dismissed, all discovery (including third-party discovery) is and shall be withdrawn, and that they shall make any such court filings as are appropriate in furtherance of effecting a complete standstill of all litigation related to the Lawsuits; and, with the exception that both parties recognize that HPEV has filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) Preliminary Proxy Statements dated December 24, 2014, and January 21, 2015, in which notice for a shareholders’ meeting has been provided, no annual meeting or special meeting of the shareholders shall be publicly noticed, scheduled or held, or any action of any nature taken by HPEV (including its management, management directors, advisory board members, and all HPEV Related Persons) with respect to the filing with the SEC of a Definitive Proxy Statement and/or the composition of the HPEV Board of Directors, until, at the earliest, June 1, 2015, regardless of a demand from any shareholder, specifically including Mark Hodowanec, for an earlier meeting.
