Dear Mr. Nechio:

The Company is party to a Scope of Work with Light Switch Digital (“LSD”), dated October 1, 2022, as amended (the “LSD Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue 500,000 shares of Common Stock to LSD as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof as consideration for the services provided by LSD under the LSD Agreement.

In order to prevent dilution to the Company’s stockholders in connection with the Company’s issuance of shares of Common Stock to LSD, PKGD, Tribe of Five, BLVD, Jonesworks and L&L, respectively, the Stockholder hereby forfeits to the Company, for no consideration, 602,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company.

 

The Stockholder hereby irrevocably appoints the Chief Financial Officer or Secretary of the Company, with full power of substitution, to transfer the shares of Common Stock set forth above on the books and records of the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

The Company and the Stockholder acknowledge that the shares of Common Stock to be forfeited by the Stockholder under this Agreement represent 60% of the total shares of Common Stock to be issued by the Company to LSD, PKGD, Tribe of Five, BLVD and Jonesworks, respectively, and 100% of the shares of Common Stock to be issued by the Company to L&L, and that the Company is entering into an agreement with Damian Novak providing for the forfeiture by Damian Novak of the remaining 40% of the total shares of Common Stock to be issued by the Company to LSD, PKGD, Tribe of Five, BLVD and Jonesworks, respectively, on the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Agreement. While certain of the LSD Agreement, PKGD Agreement, Tribe of Five Agreement, BLVD Agreement, Jonesworks Agreement and L&L Agreement may provide for additional shares of Common Stock to be issued upon the achievement of certain milestones, the Stockholder is not agreeing to forfeit any shares of Common Stock in connection with such additional issuances and any additional forfeiture by the Stockholder will be subject to the written approval of the Stockholder, which may be withheld in its sole discretion.

 

All expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Stockholder in connection with the forfeitures contemplated herein shall be borne by the Company. In addition, the Company agrees to hold the Stockholder and its members, managers, officers and agents (each an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and indemnify any Indemnified Party against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party relating to or arising out of the forfeitures contemplated herein.

 

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Nevada, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by electronic signature and in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
