2.     EXERCISE OF WARRANT

		2.1	Payment.  Subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant and applicable securities laws, this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date, and on or before the Expiration Date by the delivery (including, without limitation, delivery by facsimile) of the form of Notice of Exercise attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (the "Notice of Exercise"), duly executed by the Holder, at the principal office of the Company, subject to the conditions subsequent of the surrender, as soon as practicable after such date.

		(a)	this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, and

		(b)	payment in cash (by check) or by wire transfer of an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased upon such exercise by the then effective Purchase Price (the "Exercise Amount").

		2.2	Stock Certificates; Fractional Shares.  As soon as practicable on or after the date of any exercise of this Warrant but in any event within 5 business days after its receipt of the Exercise Amount, the Company shall issue and deliver to the person or persons designated by the Holder a certificate or certificates for the aggregate number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise.  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon an exercise of this Warrant.

		2.3	Partial Exercise; Effective Date of Exercise.  In case of any partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall cancel this Warrant upon surrender hereof and shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date for the balance of the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder.  The person entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such shares as of the close of business on the date the Company receives the Notice of Exercise, subject to the conditions subsequent of surrender of the original warrant and receipt of the Exercise Amount.

		2.4	Vesting.  The warrants shall vest fully upon issuance.

	3.	VALID ISSUANCE; TAXES.  All shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Exhibit 10.3.1 -- Page 2

  

	4.	ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES.  The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities or property receivable or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) and the Purchase Price are subject to adjustment upon occurrence of the following events:

		4.1	Adjustment for Stock Splits, Stock Subdivisions or Combinations of Shares.  The Purchase Price of this Warrant shall be proportionally decreased and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be proportionally increased to reflect any stock split or other subdivision of or Common Stock dividend on the Company's Common Stock.  The Purchase Price of this Warrant shall be proportionally increased and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be proportionally decreased to reflect any reverse stock split or combination of the Company's Common Stock.

		4.2	Reclassification.  If the Company, by reclassification of securities or otherwise, shall change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities that were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification or other change, and the Purchase Price therefore shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 4.  No adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 4.2 upon any conversion or redemption of the Common Stock which is the subject of Section 4.4.

Exhibit 10.3.1 -- Page 3

		4.3	Adjustment for Capital Reorganization, Merger or Consolidation.  In case of any capital reorganization of the capital stock of the Company (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise provided for herein), or any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company then, and in each such case, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the Purchase Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) to which the holder of the shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled to receive in such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 4., instead of the shares of stock etc., which the Holder would have been entitled to receive of this Warrant had it been exercised immediately before such reorganization, etc.  The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.3 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers and to the stock or securities of any other corporation that are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant.  In all events, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this Warrant.

		4.4	Conversion of Common Stock.  In case all or any portion of the authorized and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company are redeemed or converted or reclassified into other securities or property pursuant to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or otherwise, or the Common Stock otherwise ceases to exist, then, in such case, the Holder of this Warrant, upon exercise hereof at any time after the date on which the Common Stock is so redeemed or converted, reclassified or ceases to exist (the "Termination Date"), shall receive, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the Termination Date, the securities or property that would have been received if this Warrant had been exercised in full and the Common Stock received thereupon had been simultaneously converted immediately prior to the Termination Date, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant.  Additionally, the Purchase Price shall be immediately adjusted such that the aggregate Purchase Price of the maximum number of securities or other property for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the Termination Date is equal to the aggregate Purchase Price of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Termination Date, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

	5.	LOSS OR MUTILATION.  Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new Warrant of like tenor as the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant.

	6.	RESERVATION OF COMMON STOCK.  The Company hereby covenants that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company as are from time to time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and, from time to time, will take all steps necessary to amend its Certificate of Incorporation to provide sufficient reserves of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.  All such shares shall be duly authorized, and when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions on sale and free and clear of all preemptive rights, except encumbrances or restrictions arising under federal or state securities laws. Issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to the Company's Officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

	7.	TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant and compliance with all applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder may be transferred to any Registered Holder's parent, subsidiary or affiliate or to any officer, director, partner or member of any such parent, subsidiary or affiliate, in whole or in part, on the books of the Company maintained for such purpose at the principal office of the Company referred to above, by the Registered Holder hereof in person, or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer.  Upon any permitted partial transfer, the Company will issue and deliver to the Registered Holder a new Warrant or Warrants with respect to the shares of Common Stock not so transferred.  Each taker and holder of this Warrant, by taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that when this Warrant shall have been so endorsed, the person in possession of this Warrant may be treated by the Company, and all other persons dealing with this Warrant, as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented hereby, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however that until a transfer of this Warrant is duly registered on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the Registered Holder hereof as the owner for all purposes.

 

 

Exhibit 10.3.1 -- Page 5

 

  

	8.	RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. By acceptance hereof, the Holder acknowledges that this Warrant and the capital stock of the Company that may be issued upon its exercise have not been registered under the Securities Act, and Holder agrees not to sell, pledge, distribute, offer for sale, transfer or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any capital stock issued upon its exercise in the absence of (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act as to this Warrant or such securities and registration or qualification of this Warrant or such securities under any applicable Blue Sky or state securities laws then in effect, or (ii) an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such registration and qualification are not required.  In the reasonable discretion of the Company, the Company may condition any transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant or the capital stock of the Company that may be issued upon its exercise (other than a disposition satisfying the conditions set forth in Section 7 above) upon the transferee's delivery to the Company of a written agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, whereby the transferee makes such representations and warranties to and for the benefit of the Company as are comparable to the representations and warranties of the Holder set forth in Section 9 below.

	9.	COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS.  By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder hereby represents, warrants and covenants that any shares of stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be acquired for investment only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof; that the Holder has had such opportunity as such Holder has deemed adequate to obtain from representatives of the Company such information as is necessary to permit the Holder to evaluate the merits and risks of its investment in the Company; that the Holder is able to bear the economic risk of holding such shares as may be acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant for an indefinite period; that the Holder understands that the shares of stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant are not be registered under the Securities Act and are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and that the exemption from registration under Rule 144 will not be available for at least six months from the date of exercise of this Warrant and even then may not be available unless other terms and conditions of Rule 144 are complied with; and that all stock certificates representing shares of stock issued to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant or upon conversion of such shares may have affixed thereto a legend substantially in the following form:

THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS AND HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH OTHER SECURITIES LAWS.

In the absence of affirmative action by such Holder to purchase Common Stock by exercise of this Warrant or Common Stock upon conversion thereof, no provisions of this Warrant, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder hereof shall cause such Holder hereof to be a stockholder of the Company for any purpose.

This AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made this 17th Day of August, 2016 ("Effective Date"), by and between Glazer Kennedy Insider Circle, a Delaware limited liability company having its principal place of business at 8430 West Bryn Mawr, Suite 500, Chicago, IL 60631 ("Publisher" or "GKIC"), and Mexico Sales Made Easy, Inc. a Nevada corporation having its principal place of business at 1785 E Sahara Ave, Suite 490--‐941, Las Vegas, NV 89104 ("Licensee"). Publisher and Licensee may be referred to herein individually as a "Party" and "Parties" collectively.

		1.	
LICENSEE RIGHTS: During the Term, GKIC hereby grants to Licensee the exclusive, non--‐transferable, non--‐ sublicenseable, limited right and license to establish a GKIC--‐like membership organization ("Licensee Organization") and to print, publish and use the GKIC materials (and intellectual property rights contained therein) listed on Appendix A ("Licensed Products") solely within the United Mexican States ("Licensed Area"). Licensee has the further right to translate the Licensed Products into the Spanish language ("Translated Products") and print, publish, market and use the Translated Products solely within the Licensed Area.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, exclusivity does not extend to online or internet publications or sales of the Licensed Products or Translated Products. Prior to Licensee's printing and distribution of the Translated Products to the customer, Publisher may request final editorial approval for publication of the Translated Products in such format, style and manner as reasonably determined by Publisher, in consultation with Licensee. Furthermore, it is understood by the Parties that the overall design, trademark and logo usage and all other decisions regarding the layout and content with the Translated Products, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, shall be approved by GKIC. The Licensed Products and the Translated Products, in both their original and translated formats, shall be owned solely by Publisher, whether developed solely or jointly by either or both Parties.

$50,000 (fifty thousand dollars) of the license fee will be paid by Licensee to Publisher upon signature of this Agreement.

		b.	
$[OMITTED] of the license fee will be paid by Licensee to Publisher on each of the first and second anniversary of the Effective Date of this Agreement.

		c.	
For purposes of this Agreement, "Net Sales" means the gross sales from the Translated Products and membership fees less refunds, taxes, and shipping/handling charges provided that such deductions actually pertain to the sale of the Translated Products or memberships to the Licensee Organization and are separately invoiced.

 

 

 

  

		d.

		e.

Further, if overdue, the Royalties under this Agreement shall bear interest until payment at a per annum rate of two percent (2%) above the prime rate in effect as reported in The Wall Street Journal (U.S. Edition) on the due date and Publisher shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and costs related to the collection of Royalties following such failure to pay.

In the event Licensee underpaid the amounts due hereunder with respect to the audited period, Licensee shall pay the underpayment and interest from the due date of such payment, calculated at the rate set forth in Section 2(e), within thirty (30) days of receiving notice thereof from Publisher and, in the event Licensee underpaid the amounts due hereunder with respect to the audited period by more than five percent (5%), Licensee shall also pay the reasonable cost of such examination within thirty (30) days of receiving notice thereof from Publisher.

		3.	
PUBLISHER'S PAYMENTS TO LICENSEE: Publisher agrees to pay Licensee a [OMITTED]% ([OMITTED] Percent) commission on the Publisher's Net Sales (as defined above) of the Translated Products that Publisher sells outside of the Licensed Area ("Licensee Commission").

		a.

		4.	
COPYRIGHT REGISTRATIONS: Publisher may, at its own expense, take all reasonable steps to obtain in the name of Publisher, registered copyright protection in the Licensed Area for each Translated Product pursuant to this Agreement.

		5.	
OWNERSHIP OF LICENSED PRODUCTS AND TRANSLATED PRODUCTS: As between the Parties, all right, title and interest in the Licensed Products and the Translated Products shall remain at all times the sole property of Publisher. Except as set forth herein, Licensee acknowledges that it has no interest in, and agrees that it will not at any time assert or claim an interest in, nor register or attempt to register any copyright, trademark (or substantially similar trademark), patent or any other intellectual property right in the Licensed Products or the Translated Products. Licensee further agrees that it shall cooperate with Publisher in Publisher's enforcement or registration of the Licensed Products and the Translated Products in the Licensed Area. Furthermore, if during the development and adaptation of the Licensed Products,   the Parties determine that certain new content must be specifically developed or created for inclusion within the Licensed Products ("Adaptation Content"), Licensee shall be responsible for creating or commissioning such Adaptation Content at its sole cost and expense, provided that all third parties   creating the Adaptation Content for the Licensed Products shall enter into a written agreement directly with Licensee for the creation of such Adaptation Content under which all copyright and other rights therein shall be assigned to Publisher. Licensee hereby assigns and agrees to assign to Publisher, and shall require any third--‐parties engaged by Licensee to assign herein, all right, title and interest in and to the copyright and any other intellectual property rights in any of the Licensed Products, Adaptation Content and the Translated Products or in any such portions thereof and agrees to execute and deliver to Publisher, upon request, and require any third--‐party to execute and deliver, appropriate assignments of such intellectual property rights and such other documents and instruments as Publisher may reasonably request to fully and completely assign such intellectual property to Publisher, its successors or nominees. Licensee hereby appoints Publisher as its attorney--‐in--‐fact to execute and deliver any such documents on   its behalf in the event Licensee should fail or refuse to do so within a reasonable period following Publisher's reasonable request of such documents.

Such notices, consents, and approvals shall be by personal delivery, by certified or registered mail (postage prepaid and return receipt requested), by a nationally--‐recognized overnight carrier, or by facsimile or   email transmission with electronic confirmation of transmission. Notice will be effective upon receipt or refusal of delivery. Each Party may change its address for receipt of notice by giving notice of such change to the other Party.

		22.	
ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This Agreement supersedes any and all other agreements, either oral or in writing, between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and constitutes the entire and final understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that no representations, inducements or agreements, oral or otherwise, have been made by either Party, or anyone acting on behalf of either Party that are not embodied herein, and no other agreement, statement or promise not contained in this Agreement shall be valid or binding with respect to the subject matter hereof.

		23.	
WAIVERS; AMENDMENT: No waiver of any terms or conditions of this Agreement will be valid or binding on a Party unless such Party makes the waiver in writing. Any such waiver shall constitute a waiver only with respect to the specific matter described therein and shall in no way impair the rights of the Party granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other time. The failure of one Party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, or the failure to require at any time the performance of the other Party of any of the provisions of this Agreement, will in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provisions, nor in any way affect the ability of a Party to enforce each and every provision thereafter. This Agreement may not be altered, amended, modified, or otherwise changed in any way except by a written instrument signed by the authorized representatives of each Party.

		24.	
SEVERABILITY: If any provision of this Agreement is found or held to be invalid or unenforceable by any tribunal of competent jurisdiction, then the meaning of such provision will be construed, to the extent feasible, so as to render the provision enforceable, and if no feasible interpretation would save such provision, it will be severed from the remainder of this Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect.

		25.	
CONSTRUCTION: The headings of sections of this Agreement are included solely for convenience of reference and are not to be used to interpret, construe, define, or describe the scope of any aspect of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the word "including" means "including but not limited to." Each Party represents that it has had the opportunity to participate in the preparation of this Agreement, and any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting Party will not be followed in connection with the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the word "will" shall be equivalent in meaning to the word "shall," both of which describe an act or forbearance which is mandatory under this Agreement. The word "may" describes an act or forbearance which is optional under this Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly stated to the contrary herein, all remedies are cumulative, and the exercise of any express remedy by either Party does not by itself waive such Party's right to exercise its other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

		26.	
FEES AND EXPENSES: The Parties agree that each Party shall bear and pay the fees, costs and expenses (including all legal fees and expenses) that have been incurred by it or on behalf of or for the benefit of it in connection with the negotiation, preparation and review of this Agreement and other instruments and documents delivered or to be delivered in connection herewith.

		27.
