(b) Post-Split. The Company is in the process of effecting a 1:10,000 reverse stock split, the result of which will result in the aforementioned shares equalling approximately Six Hundred Two Thousand Six Hundred Thirty Six (602,636) shares on a post split basis with Three Billion Five Hundred Million (3,500,000,000) shares of the Company’s capital stock authorized for issuance, Three Billion Four Hundred Ninety Nine Thousand (3,499,000) shares of which will be designated as Common Stock, $0,001 par value; and One Million (1,000,000) shares of which are designated a Preferred Stock, no par value; One Hundred (100) of the shares of Preferred Stock have been designated as Series A Preferred Stock, Ninety (90) of which are issued and outstanding on a post split basis the remaining Nine Hundred Ninety Nine Thousand Nine Hundred (999,900) shares are authorized but undesignated and unissued.

SECTION 4.6 Restricted Securities. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Transferred Membership Interests being issued or transferred pursuant to the Contemplated Transactions are being issued or transferred pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

SECTION 4.10 Spin-Off of Existing Business. SIERRA is a “shell” company and as such, there is no existing business to be “spun off,” sold or otherwise terminated.

 

SECTION 4.11 Payment to Somerset. The Member(s) receiving the Ninety (90) shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall paid to Somerset Capital, Ltd. or its assigns as Robert Stevens may have directed, the sum of $25,000, which sum was paid upon execution of the original agreement among the parties hereto. On or about the time that the original agreement was executed by the parties hereto, the Company and Somerset entered into a consulting agreement that provided for the issuance of 4,000,000 of the Company’s common stock. At Stevens’ request and the Company’s agreement, the parties agreed to assign the consulting agreement to Thistle Investments, LLC so that the shares would be issued to Thistle as part of Stevens’ estate planning. To effect that assignment, rather than execute a document of assignment, the parties agreed that the Somerset consulting agreement was terminated and then agreed to execute a new consulting agreement with Thistle Investments, LLC. However, the economic purpose for issuing the 4,000,000 shares was compensation for relinquishing control of Sierra and therefore was in addition to the $25,000 consideration paid for the 90 shares of Series A Preferred Stock that were transferred by Somerset. In order to properly reflect the economic reality of the underlying transaction, the parties hereto now agree that both consulting agreements are null and void by mutual agreement and that the 4,000,000 shares referenced therein are issuable by the Company as additional consideration for relinquishing control of the Company through the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock; and that, pursuant to Stevens’ instructions (given in connection with his estate planning) and the consent of Somerset, the Company may issue the 4,000,000 shares of its common stock to Thistle Investments, LLC, a family limited liability company. Upon the issuance of said shares, the Company will have no further liability to Stevens, Somerset, or Thistle Investments, LLC, their officers, directors, managers, members, employees, independent contractors or any other party that may have had a claim to receive shares of the Company, whether from the sale and transfer of the Series A Preferred Shares or for any other reason, provided that the shares are issued on or prior to February 28, 2020. In the event that the 4,000,000 shares are not issued on or before February 28, 2020, the Company shall owe Thistle Investments, LLC, the sum of $100,000, which sum shall be payable on or before August 20, 2020. Robert Stevens on behalf of Somerset and Thistle Investments, LLC, by and through its duly authorized agent, Jodi Stevens, agrees that the 4,000,000 shares shall be subject to the following bleed-out provisions: The purpose of this bleed out provisions are to allow for the 4,000,000 shares to be sold in an orderly manner. These bleed-out provisions shall be effective for a period of two years beginning on the day that they are first eligible to have the restrictive legend removed (the “Bleed-Out Period.) Thistle Investments, LLC, by and through its duly authorized agent, Jodi Stevens, affirmatively states that she understands and agrees that Thistle Investments, LLC will not sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of any of the common stock of the Company owned directly by Thistle Investments, LLC or with respect to which it or its affiliates has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Exchanged Common Shares”), except in compliance with the following share limitation and selling restriction during the Bleed-Out Period. In each case, sales of the Exchanged Common Shares shall be limited to the greater of (A) ten percent (10%) of the 10 day average daily trading volume as reported by a nationally recognized source (e.g. Bloomberg) or (B) $1,000 worth of shares, exclusive of commissions (the “Share Limitation”), during any trading day (the “Selling Restriction”). This Selling Restriction and Share Limitation is not cumulative. Therefore, if Thistle Investments, LLC forgoes selling shares for a particular day, in the following day it will be limited by the Share Limitation. Further, Thistle Investments, LLC and its managers understand and agree that this provision is irrevocable and shall be binding upon them and Thistle Investments, LLC as the shareholder, its members, managers, legal representatives, successors, and assigns. NSR and Raynor agree that following the Closing of this Agreement, that when the 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock issued to Thistle Investments, LLC become eligible to legally have the restrictive legend removed, that they will not obstruct Thistle from having the restrictive legend removed, provided that there is an available exemption under Rule 144 or 4(a)l and it provides a legal opinion acceptable to the transfer agent that such exemption(s) are available.

SECTION 4.12 Reorganization into a Holding Company Structure. SIERRA and SOMERSET agree that following Closing, SIERRA shall change domiciles to Delaware and to effect a reorganization under Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) Section 251(g) in to a holding company formation and that regardless of the filing of the reorganization under DGCL 251(g) that for purposes of this Agreement, because of certain other “house keeping” items, even if the filing with the Delaware Secretary of State Division of Corporations were to occur at a later date, that the reorganization shall be deemed to pre-date this agreement and the any and all prior agreements.

SECTION 6.2 Obligation of the Members to Indemnify. The Members agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless SIERRA (and their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, successors and assigns) from and against all Claims, losses, Liabilities, Regulatory Actions, damages, deficiencies, judgments, settlements, costs of investigation or other expenses (including Taxes, interest, penalties and reasonable attorneys’ fees and fees of other experts and disbursements and expenses incurred in enforcing this indemnification) (collectively, the “Losses”) suffered or incurred by SIERRA, or any of the foregoing persons arising out of any breach of the representations and warranties of the Members contained in this Agreement, or of the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement or in the Schedules or any other Transaction Document.

 

SECTION 6.3 Obligation of SIERRA, STEVENS and SOMERSET to Indemnify. SIERRA, STEVENS and SOMERSET jointly and severally agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Members (and any heirs, successor or assignee thereof) from and against any Losses suffered or incurred by the Members or any of the foregoing persons arising out of any breach of the representations and warranties of SIERRA, STEVENS or SOMERSET or of the covenants and agreements of SIERRA, STEVENS or SOMERSET contained in this Agreement or in the Schedules or any other Transaction Document.

 

SECTION 6.4 Notice and Opportunity to Defend Third Party Claims. (a) Within ten (10) days following receipt by any party hereto (the ‘Indemnitee”) of notice of any demand, claim, circumstance or Tax Audit which would or might give rise to a claim, or the commencement (or threatened commencement) of any action, proceeding or investigation that may result in a Loss (an “Asserted Liability”), the Indemnitee shall give notice thereof (the “Claims Notice”) to the party or parties obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to Sections 6.2, or 6.3 (collectively, the “Indemnifying Party”). The Claims Notice shall describe the Asserted Liability in reasonable detail and shall indicate the amount (estimated, if necessary, and to the extent feasible) of the Loss that has been or may be suffered by the Indemnitee.

 

(b) The Indemnifying Party may elect to defend, at its own expense and with its own counsel, any Asserted Liability unless: (i) the Asserted Liability includes a Claim seeking an Order for injunction or other equitable or declaratory relief against the Indemnitee, in which case the Indemnitee may at its own cost and expense and at its option defend the portion of the Asserted Liability seeking equitable or declaratory relief against the Indemnitee, or (ii) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably, and in good faith, after consultation with the Indemnifying Party, concluded that: (x) there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party which could prevent or negatively influence the Indemnifying Party from impartially or adequately conducting such defence; or (y) the Indemnitee shall have one or more defences not available to the Indemnifying Party but only to the extent such defence cannot legally be asserted by the Indemnifying Party on behalf of the Indemnitee. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend such Asserted Liability, it shall within ten (10) days (or sooner, if the nature of the Asserted Liability so requires) notify the Indemnitee of its intent to do so, and the Indemnitee shall cooperate, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, in the defence of such Asserted Liability.

19

 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnitee may settle or compromise any claim over the reasonable written objection of the other, provided that the Indemnitee may settle or compromise any claim as to which the Indemnifying Party has failed to notify the Indemnitee of its election under this Section 6.4(b) or as to which the Indemnifying Party is contesting its indemnification obligations hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party desires to accept a reasonable, final and complete settlement of an Asserted Liability so that such Indemnitee’s Loss is paid in full and the Indemnitee refuses to consent to such settlement, then the Indemnifying Party’s liability to the Indemnitee shall be limited to the amount offered in the settlement. The Indemnifying Party will exercise good faith in accepting any reasonable, final and complete settlement of an Asserted Liability. In the event the Indemnifying Party elects to defend any Asserted Liability, the Indemnitee may participate, at its own expense, in the defence of such Asserted Liability. In the event the Indemnifying Party is not permitted by the Indemnitee to defend the Asserted Liability, it may nevertheless participate at its own expense in the defence of such Asserted Liability. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any Asserted Liability, the Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnifying Party any books, records or other documents within its control that are necessary or appropriate for such defence.

Schedule 2.10

Material Changes to NSR Operations That Would have an Adverse Impact

 

Since NSR is rapidly expanding its operations and has a limited operating history, “ordinary course of business,” as it is generally used may not be the best measure. Particularly since its ordinary course of business is obtaining equipment and assets, financing them and working to capitalize on certain large and significant opportunities. Because these can involve debt, it could be argued that they could have an adverse impact. However this is necessary and was carefully considered as the company has been steadily executing on its business plan.

 

Schedule 2.11

NSR Leases on Real Property

 

203 W 1st Street, Apopoka, FL 32703

 

The current corporate offices for NSR are located at in Apopoka, Florida and are leased on a month to month basis.

 

24200 County Road 561, Astatula, FL 34705

 

In addition to its current corporate offices, NSR has a lease on a 100 acre facility located in Astatula, Florida, with an option to purchase. It intends to exercise this purchase option upon final receipt of zoning approval and thereafter, it intends to relocate its corporate offices to this location as well as operate it as a mulch production and packaging facility. Part of the property has improvements built that were used for television production and it has an area that was used for RV’s for events that were held on the property. Management believes that, in addition to the mulch production and packaging, the property is ideal for promotional events that it will organize as part of its marketing plans, such as a lumberjack festival, and this will bring wider exposure to NSR and its operations.

242 W. Keene Rd., Apopoka, FL 32703 and

5400 Rex Drive, Winter Garden, FL 34787

 

Also, as part of its strategic partnership and agreement with Waste Management, NSR currently leases space at two of Waste Management’s locations for its mulch production operations. The leases have a multi-year term and in exchange for NSR grinding a certain amount of its yearly tree waste per site per year the leases were steeply discounted After processing Waste Management’s tree waste, NSR will then bag and sell it as mulch; and any material that is too dirty to use as mulch will be used as landfill cover.

 

Schedule 2.12
Liens of Assets

 

NSR has liens on its equipment from the various sellers that are part of the equipment’s purchase and financing.

For the property located at 24200 County Road 561, Astatula, FL 34705, following three hearings NSR successfully applied for and received zoning approval to operate its mulch business.

 

For the properties located at 242 W. Keene Rd., Apopoka, FL 32703 and 5400 Rex Drive, Winter Garden, FL 34787, these sites are already permitted for NSR’s operations.
