4. Mutual General Releases by Cuentas and CIMA.

 

4.1. Cuentas, on behalf of itself individually and its respective attorneys, current or former agents, employees, representatives, predecessors, successors, parent corporations, subsidiaries, subdivisions, heirs, and assigns (collectively, “Cuentas Releasing Parties”), do hereby voluntarily, knowingly, unconditionally, and absolutely waive, remise, generally release, acquit, satisfy and forever discharge CIMA and their predecessors, parent corporations, subsidiaries, members, affiliates, franchisees, and all of their and those entities’ current or former agents, officers, principals, directors, executives, employees, attorneys, insurers, members, managers, successors, and assigns (collectively, “CIMA Released Parties”), from or concerning any causes of action, claims, complaints, liabilities, suits, debts, dues, sums of money, accounts, indemnities, guarantees, contributions, reckonings, bonds, bills, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises, damages (actual, statutory, or other), injuries, judgments, executions, claims, attorney fees, costs, expenses, penalties, and all other damages now accrued, or hereafter to accrue, of any kind or character, in any country or jurisdiction, in law or equity, known or unknown, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, suspected or unsuspected, including, but not limited to, any claims under federal, state, or local law, or the laws of any country, arising out of or relating to any matters, transactions, or events which existed from the beginning of time through the completion of items in Section 3, above, including, but not limited to, those based upon, related to, arising out of, or resulting from the License Agreement, Purchase Agreement, the Side Letter, anything related to CIMA’s position as a shareholder or any member of the Cuentas Board of Directors appointed by CIMA (specifically including Edward Maldonado), and any and all related or unrelated agreements of any kind or nature between the parties and/or the Claims (“Cuentas Released Claims”). The Cuentas Released Claims encompass any potential claims for relief by the Cuentas Releasing Parties no matter how denominated, including, but not limited to, compensatory damages, statutory damages, penalties, punitive damages, and attorney fees and costs; provided, however, such release does not include any breach of the promises, covenants, conditions or representations contained in this Settlement Agreement.

 

4.2. CIMA, on behalf of itself individually and its respective attorneys, current or former agents, employees, representatives, predecessors, successors, parent corporations, subsidiaries, subdivisions, heirs, and assigns (collectively, “CIMA Releasing Parties”), do hereby voluntarily, knowingly, unconditionally, and absolutely waive, remise, generally release, acquit, satisfy and forever discharge Cuentas and its predecessors, parent corporations, subsidiaries, members, affiliates, franchisees, and all of their and those entities’ current or former agents, officers, principals, directors, executives, employees, attorneys, insurers, members, managers, shareholders, successors, and assigns (collectively, “Cuentas Released Parties”), from or concerning any causes of action, claims, complaints, liabilities, suits, debts, dues, sums of money, accounts, guarantees, reckonings, bonds, bills, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises, damages (actual, statutory, or other), injuries, judgments, executions, claims, attorney fees, costs, expenses, penalties, and all other damages now accrued, or hereafter to accrue, of any kind or character, in any country or jurisdiction, in law or equity, known or unknown, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, suspected or unsuspected, including, but not limited to, any claims under federal, state, or local law, or the laws of any country, arising out of or relating to any matters, transactions, or events which existed from the beginning of time through the Effective Date of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, those based upon, related to, arising out of, or resulting from (i) the License Agreement, Purchase Agreement, Side Letter, and any and all related or unrelated agreements of any kind or nature, including the Side Letter Agreement between the parties (the “License and Related Agreements”), (ii) CIMA’s status a shareholder or as a member of the Cuentas Board of Directors, (iii) any and all related contractual, intentional torts, negligence, fraud, or fiduciary duty claims of any kind or nature (the “CIMA Released Claims”). The CIMA Released Claims encompass any potential claims for relief by the CIMA Releasing Parties no matter how denominated, including, but not limited to, compensatory damages, statutory damages, penalties, punitive damages, and attorney fees and costs; provided, however, such release does not include any breach of the promises, covenants, conditions or representations contained in this Settlement Agreement.

4.3. The Cuentas Releasing Parties and the CIMA Releasing Parties mutually intend to grant a full, general, and unconditional release each to the other of the Cuentas Released Claims and CIMA Released Claims, whether or not the Releasing Parties have knowledge of the existence of any such Released Claims, or of any fact which would give rise to, or support, any such Released Claims, and irrespective of whether the facts presently known to the Releasing Parties are correct or complete. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Cuentas Releasing Parties and the CIMA Releasing Parties intend their mutual general releases to extend to any claims they do not know of or suspect to exist in their favor at the time of execution of this Settlement Agreement, even if such claim would materially affect their decision to enter into this Settlement Agreement. The Cuentas Releasing Parties and the CIMA Releasing Partiesintend their mutual general releases to be, and remain in effect as, a full and complete general release, notwithstanding the discovery or existence of different or additional facts, relating to the Released Claims, now or in the future, and that their mutual general releases be interpreted as broadly as possible as releasing each from the other of any and all claims of any kind or nature, excluding only the parties’ obligations, promises, covenants, conditions or representations contained in this Settlement Agreement.

 

4.4. Cuentas represents that other than the Claims, it has no pending complaints, actions, charges or claims of any nature against any of the CIMA Released Parties. Cuentas further agrees that this Agreement shall be construed to be, and is, a covenant by Cuentas, for itself and its agents, heirs, employees, attorneys, successors, and assigns acting on its behalf, not to sue, institute, instigate, or act to cause, facilitate, or encourage the commencement of, any arbitration, lawsuit (whether in law or at equity), administrative, regulatory or self-regulatory investigation or proceeding, or any other action of any kind on its behalf relating to or based upon the Cuentas Released Claims. Cuentas agrees that if it files or causes to be filed on its behalf any claim or action asserting claim(s) released by this Settlement Agreement, the CIMA Released Parties may assert this Settlement Agreement as a complete defense and may seek to recover from Cuentas any costs or attorneys’ fees incurred in such an action or claim. Cuentas agrees and acknowledges that the covenants not to sue in this Settlement Agreement are made to inure to the benefit of, and are specifically enforceable by, the CIMA Released Parties.

4.5. CIMA further agrees that this Agreement shall be construed to be, and is, a covenant by CIMA, for itself and its agents, heirs, employees, attorneys, successors, and assigns acting on its behalf, not to sue, institute, instigate, or act to cause, facilitate, or encourage the commencement of, any arbitration, lawsuit (whether in law or at equity), administrative, regulatory or self-regulatory investigation or proceeding, or any other action of any kind on its behalf relating to or based upon the CIMA Released Claims. Except as set forth in Section 4.9, CIMA agrees that if it files or causes to be filed on its behalf any claim or action asserting claim(s) released by this Settlement Agreement, the Cuentas Released Parties may assert this Settlement Agreement as a complete defense and may seek to recover from CIMA any costs or attorneys’ fees incurred in such an action or claim. CIMA agrees and acknowledges that the covenants not to sue in this Settlement Agreement are made to inure to the benefit of, and are specifically enforceable by, the Cuentas Released Parties. To avoid doubt, nothing in this Section negates, limits, or alters Section 4.9, below.

 

4.6. Each party represent and warrant that it is the current legal and beneficial owner of the Released Claims and that it has not sold, assigned, pledged, transferred, conveyed, or contracted to sell, assign, pledge, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of any such Released Claims to any person or entity.

 

4.7. Each party represents and warrants that it has asserted no claims except those that it owns, that it can provide a complete resolution of the claims, and that no part of the claims will remain viable after the execution of this Settlement Agreement.

 

4.8. The terms of the release and covenants provided and effectuated by this Settlement Agreement are to be construed as broadly as possible and in favor of a complete resolution of the any and all claims of any kind or nature between or among the parties, so that no exceptions are implied.

 

4.9. Cuentas agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CIMA from any lawsuit initiated by a third party against CIMA for any action related to Cuentas. Nothing in this Settlement Agreement (including Sections 4 and 9) precludes CIMA from defending itself (1) through making statements relating to Cuentas and/or (2) in prosecuting and defending lawsuits (including against Cuentas) relating to any third party’s comments, actions or claims made regarding CIMA. For avoidance of doubt, this reservation of rights includes CIMA retaining the right to sue Cuentas for indemnity, subrogation, or contribution relating to claims made by a third party against CIMA, and retaining the right to make any truthful comments about Cuentas to address allegations about CIMA related to Cuentas.

 

4.10. Cuentas’s release of CIMA shall be effective upon Cuentas signing this Settlement Agreement. CIMA’s release of Cuentas shall be effective upon the completion of all items identified in Section 3, above. If Cuentas fails to comply with any portion of Section 3, CIMA’s release of Cuentas is null and void.

 

5. Stipulated Judgment. In the event Cuentas fails to perform any of its obligations under this Settlement Agreement, Cuentas stipulates to have judgment entered in the Action against it in favor of CIMA, in the amount of $770,239.78, less any payments received by CIMA from Cuentas under this Settlement Agreement, plus interest on any unpaid principal balance accrued at the maximum legal rate from the Effective Date (“Stipulated Judgment”). Under such circumstances, CIMA, through counsel, shall be entitled to seek and secure entry of judgment in the Action, with or without notice to Cuentas or its counsel. The Stipulated Judgment shall be in the form of Exhibit A1, substantially in the form attached hereto, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. Cuentas hereby waives all defenses to liability, any rights of appeal or other rights it may have to contest the validity of the Stipulated Judgment except defense of payment. This Settlement Agreement may be presented to the Court to show the entitlement to the Stipulated Judgment.

 

 

1For the avoidance of doubt, Exhibit A includes blank lines to be completed by CIMA to reflect the amounts owed upon a circumstance that permits CIMA to cause the Stipulated Judgment to be entered by the Court.

Gentlemen:

 

Reference is made to that certain letter agreement, dated December 31, 2019 (the “Side Letter Agreement”), by and among CIMA Telecom, Inc., a Florida corporation (“CIMA”), Cuentas, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Cuentas”), Dinar Zuz, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Dinar”), Michael De Prado (“Michael”) and Arik Maimon (“Arik”). Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed in the Side Letter Agreement.

 

Pursuant to Section 4 of the Side Letter Agreement, (i) Cuentas has a primary right of first refusal to purchase shares of Common Stock which CIMA intends to sell to a bona fide third party purchaser on the same terms and conditions as CIMA would have sold such shares of Common Stock to any third party purchaser (the “Primary ROFR”) and (ii) each of Dinar, Michael and Arik have a secondary right of first refusal to purchase such shares of Common Stock if Cuentas does not exercise the Primary ROFR (the “Secondary ROFR”).

 

On even date herewith, Cuentas and CIMA entered into a Settlement Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, Cuentas agreed to (i) facilitate a third party purchase of all of the share of common stock of Cuentas held by CIMA at the higher of: (i) the average per share trading price for the three day average before notice in writing is provided by Cuentas of the intent to purchase CIMA’s Cuentas shares, or (ii) the minimum price of $0.50 per share on or before 5:00 p.m. New York City time on August 31, 2022 (the “Contemplated Transaction”), and (ii) cause Dinar, Michael and Arik to provide waivers of the Secondary ROFR granted in their favor pursuant to the terms of the Side Letter Agreement.

 

We hereby request that you waive your right to exercise such Primary ROFR and Secondary ROFR. By signing this letter agreement, you confirm that (i) you understand that you have the right to purchase Common Stock pursuant to the Primary ROFR or the Secondary ROFR, as applicable, and (ii) you hereby elect to waive any and all rights of first refusal pursuant to the Side Letter Agreement with respect to the Contemplated Transaction.

 

This letter agreement may be executed 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.
