W I T N E S S E T H :

 

WHEREAS, as of March 2, 2021, Laura Anthony is owed $97,155.00 by the Company for legal services rendered by to the Company (the “Obligations”);

 

WHEREAS, in satisfaction in full of the Obligations, Laura Anthony is willing to accept the Securities (as defined in this Agreement) (the “Exchange”);

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto, being duly sworn, do covenant, agree and certify as follows:

 

1. Recitals. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the foregoing recitals are true and accurate and constitute part of this Agreement to the same extent as if contained in the body hereof.

 

3. Exchange and Satisfaction. The Obligations will be exchanged for the Securities and other considerations according to the following terms and conditions and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement:

 

  a. Within three (3) business days of the Effective Date, the Company shall issue 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Initial Shares”) to Laura Anthony. The Initial Shares shall bear a customary restrictive legend as further contemplated by Section 7 of this Agreement.
     
  b. If the Market Value (as defined below) is less than $100,000.00 (the “Aggregate Value”) on the date which such securities are deposited into a brokerage account and accepted as freely tradeable (the “Make-Whole Date”), then the Company shall within two (2) business days of Laura Anthony’s request, issue additional shares of the Company’s common stock to Laura Anthony, equal to the Aggregate Value divided by the Make-Whole Price (as defined below), minus the number of Initial Shares (the result of which shall be referred to herein in the aggregate as the “Additional Shares”) (the Initial Shares and Additional Shares shall collectively be referred to herein as the “Securities”). In addition, if on a date six months from the date of issuance, Laura Anthony has been unable to sell the Securities for $100,000, the Company shall issue Additional Shares calculated as the Aggregate value, minus the number of Initial Shares and Additional Shares issued up to that date, to Laura Anthony.

 

 

 

 

  c. Market Value shall mean the number of Initial Shares multiplied by the Make-Whole Price. The Make-Whole Price shall mean the average of the volume weighted average prices of the Company’s common stock during the seven (7) trading days prior to the Make-Whole Date.
     
  d. The number of Initial Shares utilized in all of the calculations with respect to the Additional Shares shall be subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits effectuated by the Company with respect to the Common Stock.
     
  e. The Securities shall be deemed earned in full as of the date of this Agreement. The Additional Shares, if required to be issued pursuant to this Agreement, shall be issued as provided in this Agreement, provided, however, that in no event shall Laura Anthony be entitled to receive shares of the Company’s common stock in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding at the time of the respective calculation hereunder. Beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Accordingly, if Additional Shares are required to be issued pursuant to this Agreement, such shares shall be issued in accordance with such Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and in successive tranches if required to comply with such beneficial ownership limitations (each an “Additional Tranche”). If applicable, the Company shall issue each Additional Tranche within two (2) business days of the request by Firm.
