Background
Context

 

Rainmaker
Worldwide Inc. (“RAKR”) is a Nevada company which operates through two wholly owned subsidiaries; Rainmaker Worldwide Inc.
(Ontario) (“ RWI”) which hosts the Company’s head office in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, and Rainmaker Holland B.Y.
(“RHBV”) which functions as the Company’s innovation and manufacturing center in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The Company’s
patented water technology provides economical drinking water wherever it’s needed and at scale.

 

    	 	 	 2

    	 

    

 

The
company began in 2008 as Dutch Rainmaker BV (“DRM”) by inventor Piet Oosterling together with an affiliated company,
Wind En Water Technologie Holding BV (“WWT”). DRM and WWT evolved through 2014, with units of the first-generation
technology deployed in Kuwait and Northern Holland. Rainmaker Worldwide Inc. (Ontario) was formed in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada in
2014 to consolidate all assets, intellectual property, and the executive management expertise of DRM and WWT. The restructuring of DRM
and WWT was completed with asset sale transactions by each company to RWI completed in December 2015 contemporaneously with a Round 1
financing of RWI. The first full year of operation of RWI was 2016. RHBV was established in late 2015 as a wholly owned subsidiary of
RWI as part of the DRM-WWT-RWT restructuring (“RM BV”). RM BV fulfills R&D, assembly and manufacturing operations
in the Netherlands for the group. The creation of DR BV also facilitated a loan from an affiliate of the Port of Rotterdam (“SOFIE”)
the proceeds of which supplemented the working capital necessary to outfit the Rotterdam assembly facility with the necessary tools
and equipment.

 

In
July 2017, the shareholders of RWI entered into a share exchange agreement with RAKR that resulted in RWI becoming a wholly owned subsidiary
of RAKR trading on OTC pink sheet markets.

 

To-date,
over $15 million has been collectively invested in technology research, development and deployment within DRM, WWT and RWI.

 

RA.KR
builds two types of energy-efficient, fresh water-producing technologies:

 

l.
Air-to-Water, which harvests fresh water from humidity in the atmosphere. Thermal energy created by the power unit is used to cool and
condense moisture in air. Air-to-Water units are available in three sizes, producing 5,000, 10,000 or 20,000 liters of drinking water
per day.

 

2.
Water-to-Water, which transforms seawater or polluted water into drinking water. With the WW unit, the energy generated is utilized in
a state-of-the-art membrane distillation system to evaporate and then condense input water from a water source to create fresh, pure
water. Water to-Water units are available in three sizes producing 37,500, 75,000 or 150,000 liters per day.

 

In
both instances, the RA.KR products have the possibility to drive the process using 100% renewable energy from the wind and / or the sun.
The proprietary power unit converts the wind or solar energy directly and efficiently into heat by driving a series of heat pumps, without
the need of an intermediate step of an inverter to create electricity. The unit operates completely stand alone, so it does not need
a grid connection. It is also possible to drive the power unit using (or combining renewable energy sources with) conventional fossil
energy sources such electricity or a diesel generator. The technology can easily and quickly be deployed where drinking water is needed
most.

 

1)
Final Agreement

 

RWSRI
and RAKR will undertake to prepare drafts of the legal documents necessary to effect the Joint Venture. All parties shall use their good
faith efforts to complete and be in a position to; (i) execute a partnership agreement (the “Partnership Agreement”) relating
to the Joint Venture on or before August 17’\ 2020 (or such other date as may be mutually agreed to by RWSRI and RA.KR); (ii) to
have obtained the respective support agreements from the shareholders of RWSRI and RA.KR;

 

The
Partnership Agreement shall be mutually acceptable to RWSRI and RAKR and its shareholders and shall be substantially in a form customarily
used in connection with such a transaction including, customary indemnities, representations and warranties and conditions. In addition,
the Parh1ership Agreement shall provide that the obligations of RWSRI and RAKR thereunder to complete the Joint Venture shall be conditional
on, among other things, receipt of all required third party(s) and shareholder approvals, on terms and conditions satisfactory to RWSRI
and RAKR, acting reasonably.
