RE: Cause No. 2018-005801-1; In County Court at Law No. 1 of Tarrant County, TX; Wildcat Consulting Group LLC vs. Greenway Technologies, Inc. (Consulting Agreement)

Our File No. 7538 Cause No. 2018-006416-2; In County Court at Law No. 2 of Tarrant County, TX; Wildcat Consulting Group LLC vs. Greenway Technologies, Inc. (Promissory Note)

Our File No. 7539 Dear Mr. Farrar:

The purpose of this Rule 11 Agreement ("Agreement") is to memorialize the agreement reached between the parties in the above-referenced lawsuits as a result of the mediation and settlement discussions conducted between Wildcat Consulting Group LLC ("Wildcat") and Greenway Technologies, Inc. ("Greenway"). The terms of this Agreement are to be incorporated into settlement documents including a Promissory Note and Compromise Settlement Agreement ("CSA"), which will incorporate the terms of this Agreement as set forth below. If the parties fully and timely perform the obligations as set forth herein, it is intended that the settlement of these lawsuits should result in a dismissal with prejudice of the claims pending in the above-referenced lawsuits. Upon full execution, this Agreement will be filed with the Court in each of the above-referenced lawsuits.

 

Wildcat and Greenway hereby agree to the following:

 

1.            With regard to the claims pending in Cause No. 2018-006416-2, referred to as the "Promissory Note Lawsuit":

1 
 

a.                   The parties agree that Greenway shall execute a new Promissory Note payable to Wildcat in the original principal amount of $100,000. This new Promissory Note shall be effective as of November 13, 2017 and shall provide for interest accruing since the effective date at the rate of 10% per annum, which shall be compounded annually. The new Promissory Note will have a maturity date of March 1, 2020 and shall provide for the payments of principal only to be paid in four installments of $25,000 each to be paid to Wildcat on or before 5:00 p.m. on June 1, 2019, September 1, 2019, December 1, 2019 and March 1, 2020. All unpaid principal and interest shall become due and payable on maturity or in the event of default. The new Promissory Note shall provide for a default interest rate of 18% per annum, compounded annually, and shall provide that Wildcat shall be entitled to recover reasonable and necessary attorney's fees and costs of court in the event of a default. The new Promissory Note shall provide that "time is of the essence" with regard to all payments to be made pursuant to that note.

 

b.                  As additional consideration, Greenway shall issue 500,000 shares of Restricted 144a Common A stock to Wildcat as soon as practical after Greenway has taken actions necessary to provide for the issuance of such shares. In no event shall such shares be issued after October 15, 2019.

 

c.                   Wildcat hereby agrees that upon issuance of the above-referenced shares, all warrants issued to Wildcat prior to this Agreement shall be terminated. Wildcat, Mr. Marshall Gleason and all affiliated entities hereby represent that they currently have no claim for any additional warrants, or claims for any warrant for Greenway stock which are not terminated by this Agreement. Nothing herein shall prevent the issuance of additional warrants after this date, under separate agreement to Wildcat, Mr. Gleason or affiliated entities. Wildcat, Mr. Gleason and all affiliated entities hereby agree not to exercise any previously issued warrants so long as Greenway is not in default of this Agreement.

 

d.                  Wildcat and Greenway hereby agree that Wildcat currently has 1,700,000 unrestricted shares and 3,000,000 Rule 144a shares of stock in Greenway.

 

e.                   Wildcat and Greenway agree that the Promissory Note Lawsuit shall be abated until October 15, 2019 to allow for the preparation and execution of settlement documents and for the timely payment of amounts due and stock issuance prior to that date. In the event all payments and/or obligations imposed in this Agreement are not timely performed, Wildcat shall be entitled to proceed with the all claims pending in the Promissory Note Lawsuit on the original Promissory Note, subject to any credits provided as described herein. The New Promissory Note shall

2 
 

not be construed as a wavier or novation of the claims pursuant to the original Promissory Note. To the extent Wildcat pursues claims on the original Promissory Note, Wildcat shall have no claims under the New Promissory Note.

 

2.                 With regard to the claims pending in Cause No. 2018-005801-1, referred to as the "Consulting Agreement Lawsuit":

 

a.                  The parties agree to execute a CSA which will provide that Greenway shall pay Wildcat a total settlement of amount of $300,000 to be paid by 60 monthly payments of $5,000 each with the first payment being due to Wildcat on or before 5:00 p.m. on or before March 15, 2019 and by 5:00 p.m. on the 1st day of each month thereafter until paid in full.

 

b.                 The CSA shall provide that Greenway stipulates that the Overriding Royalty Agreement ("ORRI") between Greenway Innovative Energy, Inc. (a wholly- owned subsidiary of Greenway) and Wildcat executed on or about October 30, 2017 is valid and enforceable for all purposes and that Greenway shall not contest Wildcat's right to receive payments pursuant to such agreement. The parties agree to amend the ORRI, to increase Wildcat's royalties from 1/4 of 1 % or .25% to 3/8 of 1 % or .375%. Greenway agrees that it will not contest Wildcat's right to receive payments pursuant to the amended ORRI. The amended ORRI shall be executed on or before April 1, 2019.

 

c.                  The CSA shall provide that Greenway stipulates that the Royalty Agreement between Greenway and Wildcat executed on or about October 30, 2017 is valid and enforceable for all purposes and that Greenway shall not contest Wildcat's right to receive payments pursuant to such agreement.

 

d.                 The CSA shall provide that the parties agree that in the event Wildcat receives any payments pursuant to the amended ORRI and/or the Royalty Agreement referenced above, prior to the full timely payment of the settlement amount referenced above, Greenway shall be entitled to a dollar-for-dollar credit against the settlement amount. In the event Greenway fails to timely make any monthly payment of the settlement amount, it shall only have a right to a credit for any ORRI or Royalty Agreement payment(s) made to Wildcat prior to such default.

 

e.                  The CSA shall provide that Greenway shall issue 1,000,000 shares of Restricted 144a Common A stock to Wildcat as soon as practical after Greenway has taken actions necessary to provide for the issuance of such shares. In no event shall such shares be issued after October 15, 2019.

3 
 

f.                   The CSA shall provide that Greenway, effective immediately, releases Wildcat from any and all claims arising out of the past transactions between the parties. The CSA shall further provide that Wildcat shall release Greenway of any and all claims arising from past transactions effective as of October 15, 2019, subject to Greenway's timely performance of its obligations under this Agreement, prior to that date. In the event of a default prior to October 15, 2019, the parties agree that Greenway shall be entitled to a credit against Wildcat's claims for any amounts paid or stock issued by Greenway to Wildcat prior the date of default, and Wildcat shall be entitled to pursue claims under the Consulting Agreement or the CSA at its election. Wildcat's election of pursuing claims under either the Consulting Agreement or the CSA in no way limits any defenses available to Greenway.

 

g.                  The CSA shall provide that the Consulting Agreement Lawsuit shall be abated until October 15, 2019 to allow for the preparation and execution of settlement documents and for the timely payment of amounts due and stock issuance prior to that date. In the event all payments and/or obligations imposed in this Agreement are not timely performed, Wildcat shall be entitled to proceed with all claims pending in the Consulting Agreement Lawsuit, subject to any credits provided as described herein above.
