NEW MITEXSTREAM AGREEMENT

13. NEW MITEXSTREAM AGREEMENT

In February 2021, Black Bird entered into a Manufacturing, Sales and Distribution License Agreement (the New MiteXstream Agreement) with a related party, Touchstone Enviro Solutions, Inc., which replaced a prior similar agreement (the Original MiteXstream Agreement) and served to expand Black Bird’s rights with respect to MiteXstream, an EPA-registered biopesticide. The New MiteXstream Agreement contains the following important provisions as compared to the Original MiteXstream Agreement:

	New MiteXstream Agreement	Original MiteXstream Agreement
Term	December 31, 2080	Initial terms of 10 years, with one 10-year renewal term
Territory	Worldwide Exclusive (1)	United States and Canada
Royalty	$10.00 per gallon manufactured	Effective royalty of an estimated $50 per gallon
Minimums	2,500 gallons of concentrate manufactured per year (2)	$20,000 of product per year
Sublicensing	Right to sublicense granted	No right to sublicense
Trademarks	For no extra consideration, rights granted to use “MiteXstream” and “Harnessing the Power of Water”	For no extra consideration, rights granted to use “MiteXstream”

(1) (2) Exclusivity ends and becomes non-exclusive, if the minimum of 2,500 gallons per year is not met. The minimum (2,500 gallons per year) is deemed to have been satisfied through December 31, 2022.

The disinterested Directors of the Company approved the New MiteXstream Agreement.
