COLLATERAL AGENT AGREEMENT

This Collateral Agent Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of April 26, 2023, by and among Steel Sporran, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Collateral Agent”), and the parties identified on Schedule A hereto, as such may be amended to include such other parties who become parties hereto and sign this Agreement (each, individually, a “Lender,” and, collectively, the “Lenders”), who hold or will acquire senior secured promissory notes issued or to be issued by Code Green Apparel Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), at or about the date of this Agreement and in the future upon the occurrence of certain events as described in the Security Agreement referred to below (collectively herein, the “Senior Notes”).

WHEREAS, the Lenders have made, are making and will be making loans to the Company to be secured by certain collateral; and

WHEREAS, it is desirable to provide for the orderly administration of such collateral by requiring each Lender to appoint the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent has agreed to accept such appointment and to receive, hold and deliver such collateral, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth; and

WHEREAS, it is desirable to allocate the enforcement of certain rights of the Lenders under the Notes for the orderly administration thereof.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.	Collateral.

(a) Contemporaneously with, or shortly after, the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Collateral Agent and the Lenders, (1) Collateral Agent has or will have entered into a Security Agreement between Collateral Agent and the Company(the “Security Agreement”), regarding the grant of a security interest in certain assets of the Company (such assets are referred to herein and in the Security Agreement as the “Collateral”) to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, and (2) the Company is issuing the Notes to the Lenders.

(b) For purposes solely of perfection of the security interests granted to Collateral Agent, as agent on behalf of the Lenders, and on its own behalf under the Security Agreement, Collateral Agent hereby acknowledges that any Collateral held by Collateral Agent is held for the benefit of the Lenders, in accordance with this Agreement and the Security Agreement. No reference to the Security Agreement or any other instrument or document shall be deemed to incorporate any term or provision thereof into this Agreement, unless expressly so provided.

(c) Collateral Agent is to distribute, in accordance with the Security Agreement, any proceeds received from the Collateral which are distributable to the Lenders in proportion to their respective interests in the Obligations as defined in the Security Agreement.

2.	Appointment of the Collateral Agent.

The Lenders hereby appoint Collateral Agent (and Collateral Agent hereby accepts such appointment) to take any action including, without limitation, the registration of any Collateral in the name of Collateral Agent or its nominees prior to, or during the continuance of, an Event of Default (as defined in the Security Agreement), the application of any cash collateral received by Collateral Agent to the payment of the Obligations, the making of any demand under the Security Agreement, the exercise of any remedies given to Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Agreement and the exercise of any authority pursuant to the appointment of Collateral Agent as an attorney-in-fact pursuant to the Security Agreement that Collateral Agent deems necessary or proper for the administration of the Collateral pursuant to the Security Agreement. Upon disposition of the Collateral in accordance with the Security Agreement, Collateral Agent shall promptly distribute any cash or Collateral in accordance with Section 8.3 of the Security Agreement.

3.	Action by the Majority in Interest.

(a) Certain Actions. Each of the Lenders covenants and agrees that only a Majority in Interest shall have the right, but not the obligation, to undertake the following actions (it being expressly understood that less than a Majority in Interest hereby expressly waive the following rights that they may otherwise have under the Notes, but only insofar as such waiver affects their right to receive proceeds from the Collateral):

(i) Acceleration. If an Event of Default occurs, after the applicable cure period, if any, a Majority in Interest may, on behalf of all the Lenders, instruct the Collateral Agent to provide to the Company notice to cure such default and/or declare the unpaid principal amount of the Notes to be due and payable, together with any and all accrued interest thereon and all costs payable pursuant to such Notes;

SECURITY AGREEMENT | PAGE 1

(ii) Enforcement. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default after the applicable cure period, if any, a Majority in Interest may instruct the Collateral Agent to proceed to protect, exercise and enforce, on behalf of all the Lenders, their rights and remedies under the Notes against the Company, and such other rights and remedies as are provided by law or equity;

(iii) Waiver of Past Defaults. A Majority in Interest may instruct the Collateral Agent to waive any Event of Default by written notice to the Company, and the other Lenders; and

(iv) Amendment. A Majority in Interest may instruct the Collateral Agent to waive, amend, supplement or modify any term, condition or other provision in the Notes or the Security Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Notes or the Security Agreement so long as such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification is made with respect to all of the Notes and with the same force and effect with respect to each of the Notes.

(b) Permitted Subordination. A Majority in Interest may instruct the Collateral Agent to agree to subordinate any Collateral to any claim and may enter into any agreement with the Company to evidence such subordination; provided, however, that, subsequent to any such subordination, each Note shall remain pari passu with the other Notes held by the Lenders.

(c) Further Actions. A Majority in Interest may instruct the Collateral Agent to take any action that it may take under this Agreement by instructing the Collateral Agent in writing to take such action on behalf of all the Lenders.

(d) Majority in Interest. For so long as any obligations remain outstanding on the Notes, Majority in Interest shall mean Lenders who hold not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes.

4.	Power of Attorney.

(a) To effectuate the terms and provisions hereof, the Lenders hereby appoint the Collateral Agent as their attorney-in-fact, and the Collateral Agent hereby accepts such appointment, for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation, taking any action on behalf of, or at the instruction of, the Majority in Interest at the written direction of the Majority in Interest and executing any consent authorized pursuant to this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable (and lawful) to accomplish the purposes hereof.

(b) All acts done under the foregoing authorization are hereby ratified and approved and neither the Collateral Agent nor any designee nor agent thereof shall be liable for any acts of commission or omission, for any error of judgment, for any mistake of fact or law except for acts of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(c) This power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable while this Agreement remains in effect.

5.	Expenses of the Collateral Agent.

The Company has agreed to pay any and all costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent, all waivers, releases, discharges, satisfactions, modifications and amendments of this Agreement, the administration and holding of the Collateral, insurance expenses, and the enforcement, protection and adjudication of the parties’ rights hereunder by the Collateral Agent, including, without limitation, the reasonable disbursements, expenses and fees of the attorneys the Collateral Agent may retain, if any, each of the foregoing in proportion to their holdings of the Notes.

6.	Reliance on Documents and Experts.

The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, statement, paper, document, writing or communication reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or persons, and upon opinions and advice of its own legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by the Collateral Agent.

(b) The Collateral Agent shall act in good faith and with that degree of care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances.

Within five (5) days of the giving of such notice, a successor collateral agent shall be appointed by the Majority in Interest; provided, however, that if the Lenders are unable so to agree upon a successor within such time period, and notify the Collateral Agent during such period of the identity of the successor collateral agent, the successor collateral agent may be a person designated by the Collateral Agent, and any and all fees of such successor collateral agent shall be the joint and several obligation of the Lenders. The Collateral Agent shall continue to serve until the effective date of the resignation or until its successor accepts the appointment and receives the Collateral held by the Collateral Agent but shall not be obligated to take any action hereunder. The Collateral Agent may deposit any Collateral with any court located in the State of Texas with proper jurisdiction.

9.	Exculpation.

The Collateral Agent and its officers, employees, attorneys and agents, shall not incur any liability whatsoever for the holding or delivery of documents or the taking of any other action in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, for any mistake or error in judgment, for compliance with any applicable law or any attachment, order or other directive of any court or other authority (irrespective of any conflicting term or provision of this Agreement), or for any act or omission of any other person engaged by the Collateral Agent in connection with this Agreement, unless occasioned by the exculpated person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; and each party hereto hereby waives any and all claims and actions whatsoever against the Collateral Agent and its officers, employees, attorneys and agents, arising out of or related directly or indirectly to any or all of the foregoing acts, omissions and circumstances.

10.

Indemnification.

The Lenders hereby agree to indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and its directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents, jointly and severally, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses and expenses that may be imposed upon, incurred by, or asserted against any of them, arising out of or related directly or indirectly to this Agreement or the Collateral, except such as are occasioned by the indemnified person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

11.

Miscellaneous.

(a) Rights and Remedies Not Waived. No act, omission or delay by the Collateral Agent shall constitute a waiver of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder or otherwise. No single or partial waiver by the Collateral Agent of any default hereunder or right or remedy that it may have shall operate as a waiver of any other default, right or remedy or of the same default, right or remedy on a future occasion.

(b) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas without regard to principles of conflicts or choice of law (or any other law that would make any substantive laws of any state other than the State of Texas applicable hereto).
