Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Effective July 10, 2019, Canbiola, Inc. (the “Company” or “CANB”) entered into an Employee Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Johnny J. Mack PhD (“Mack”), pursuant to which Mack agreed to serve as the Company’s interim Chief Operating Officer (“Interim COO”). In consideration for Mack’s services, Mack will (i) receive a base salary of $7,500 per month, subject to increase after each yearly anniversary of the Agreement (the “Base Salary”), (ii) be eligible to receive annual cash or stock bonuses, as determined by the Company’s compensation committee, (iii) be entitled to vacation time and paid days for illness in accordance with the Company’s Employee Handbook policies, and (iv) receive a one-time issuance of 3,500,000 common shares of the Company. The Company also agreed to hold harmless and indemnify Mack as authorized or permitted by law and the Company’s governing documents, as the same may be amended from time to time, except for acts constituting negligence or willful misconduct by Mack.

The Agreement has an initial term of 90 days and shall renew for additional 90-day terms upon mutual consent of the parties (each, a “Term”), unless otherwise terminated with 30 days prior written notice. If the Agreement is terminated by the Company without “Cause,” or by Employee for “Good Reason,” then: (i) the Company shall continue to pay Mack the Base Salary through the longer of the end of the Term over the course of the then remaining Term in accordance with the Company’s payroll and payment practices plus an amount equal to the premiums charged by the Company to maintain COBRA benefits continuation coverage for Mack and his eligible dependents to the extent such coverage is then in place. A termination of the Agreement by reason of a merger or acquisition is considered the same as a termination by the Company without Cause or by Employee for Good Reason.

Upon termination of Mack’s employment prior to the expiration of the Term by reason of Mack’s death, the Company shall pay Mack’s designated beneficiary or beneficiaries, within 30 days of his death, in a lump sum in cash equal to (i) three months of Mack’s Base Salary and pro-rated incentive bonus, if any, from the date of Mack’s death, and (ii) any accrued obligations or benefits owed the Mack for that same period of time. If, as a result of Mack’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness (“Disability”), Mack is absent from the full-time performance of his duties with the Company for a period of three consecutive months and, within 30 days after written notice is provided to Mack by the Company, Mack’s employment under the Agreement may be terminated by the Company for Disability and Mack or his designee will be paid in the same manner as in termination by his death.

The Agreement otherwise contains standard terms and conditions. The foregoing discussion is for summary purposes only and is qualified in its entirety by the actual terms of the Agreement, which is included herewith as an Exhibit.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

See Item 1.01 for discussion regarding Mack’s appointment as Interim COO pursuant to the Agreement. Additionally, on July 10, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) appointed Mack as a director of the Company to fill a vacancy on the Board. Mack also serves on the Company’s Corporate Advisory Board.

Johnny J. Mack PhD, age 66, has a distinguished career as senior executive in healthcare, mortgage banking, community development, and nonprofit organizations. He is a founding member of the board of directors of Realizing the Dream, Inc., with Ambassador Andrew Young and Martin Luther King, III, and now serves as the president of its rebrand, Realizing the Dream International. Mack has also served as the executive director of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change and president of the Drum Major Institute, a New York based NGO co-founded by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He also founded Communities Without Boundaries International, a peace and development organization, and through it has worked in more than 25 countries globally. Mack is also principal and managing partner of the Jonymak Group, LLC, a global research and consulting firm that works across sectors – private, public, and community – focusing on strategic, advisory, development, and public affairs services to business, government, and nonprofit organizations.

EXHIBIT A

INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

This Indemnity Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into this 10^th day of July 2019 by and between Canbiola, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), and Johnny Mack, (“Employee”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Employee performs a valuable service to the Company in his capacity as Executive Vice President Sales for Canbiola, Inc.

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) providing for the indemnification of the directors, officers, Employees and other agents, including persons serving at the request of the Company in such capacities with other corporations or enterprises; and

WHEREAS, in order to induce Employee to continue to serve as Executive Vice President Sales of Canbiola, Inc., the Company has determined and agreed to enter into this Agreement with Employee;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Employee’s continued service after the date hereof, the parties hereto agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1. Indemnity of Employee. The Company hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Employee to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by the provisions of the Bylaws and applicable law against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), witness fees, damages, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and any other amounts that Employee becomes legally obligated to pay because of any claim or claims made against or by him in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, arbitrational, administrative or investigative (including an action by or in the right of the Company) to which Employee is, was or at any time becomes a party, or is threatened to be made a party, by reason of the fact that Employee is, was or at any time becomes a director, officer, Employee or other agent of Company, or is or was serving or at any time serves at the request of the Company as a director, officer, Employee or other agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, Employee benefit plan or other enterprise.

2. Limitations on Indemnity. No indemnity shall be paid by the Company:

(a) on account of any claim against Employee solely for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by Employee of securities of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and amendments thereto or similar provisions of any federal, state or local statutory law;

(b) on account of Employee’s conduct that is established by a final judgment as knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest or that constituted willful misconduct;

5

(c) on account of Employee’s conduct that is established by a final judgment as constituting a breach of Employee’s duty of loyalty to the Company or resulting in any personal profit or advantage to which Employee was not legally entitled;

(d) for which payment is actually made to Employee under a valid and collectible insurance policy or under a valid and enforceable indemnity clause, bylaw or agreement, except in respect of any excess beyond payment under such insurance, clause, bylaw or agreement;

(e) if indemnification is not lawful (and, in this respect, both the Company and Employee have been advised that the Securities and Exchange Commission believes that indemnification for liabilities arising under the federal securities laws is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable and that claims for indemnification should be submitted to appropriate courts for adjudication); or

(f) in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by Employee, or any proceeding by Employee against the Company or its directors, officers, Employees or other agents, unless (i) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (ii) the proceeding was authorized by the board of directors of the Company, (iii) such indemnification is provided by the Company, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under the NYCRR, or (iv) the proceeding is initiated pursuant to Section 9 hereof.

3. Continuation of Indemnity. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period Employee is a director, officer, Employee or other agent of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, Employee or other agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, Employee benefit plan or other enterprise) and shall continue thereafter so long as Employee shall be subject to any possible claim or threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, arbitrational, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that Employee was serving in the capacity referred to herein.

4. Partial Indemnification. Employee shall be entitled under this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for a portion of the expenses (including attorneys’ fees), witness fees, damages, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and any other amounts that Employee becomes legally obligated to pay in connection with any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 1 hereof even if not entitled hereunder to indemnification for the total amount thereof, and the Company shall indemnify Employee for the portion thereof to which Employee is entitled.

5. Notification and Defense of Claim. Not later than thirty (30) days after receipt by Employee of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, Employee will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the Company will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to Employee otherwise than under this Agreement. With respect to any such action, suit or proceeding as to which Employee notifies the Company of the commencement thereof:

(a) the Company will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense;

(b) except as otherwise provided below, the Company may, at its option and jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified and electing to assume such defense, assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Employee. After notice from the Company to Employee of its election to assume the defense thereof, the Company will not be liable to Employee under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by Employee in connection with the defense thereof except for reasonable costs of investigation or otherwise as provided below. Employee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in such action, suit or proceeding but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of Employee unless (i) the employment of counsel by Employee has been authorized by the Company, (ii) Employee shall have reasonably concluded, and so notified the Company, that there is an actual conflict of interest between the Company and Employee in the conduct of the defense of such action or (iii) the Company shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of Employee’s separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Company. The Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any action, suit or proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company or as to which Employee shall have made the conclusion provided for in clause (ii) above; and

6

(c) the Company shall not be liable to indemnify Employee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim affected without its written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall be permitted to settle any action except that it shall not settle any action or claim in any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on Employee without Employee’s written consent, which may be given or withheld in Employee’s sole discretion.

6. Expenses. The Company shall advance, prior to the final disposition of any proceeding, promptly following request therefore, all expenses incurred by Employee in connection with such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of Employee to repay said amounts if it shall be determined ultimately that Employee is not entitled to be indemnified under the provisions of this Agreement, the Bylaws, applicable law or otherwise.

7. Enforcement. Any right to indemnification or advances granted by this Agreement to Employee shall be enforceable by or on behalf of Employee in any court of competent jurisdiction if (i) the claim for indemnification or advances is denied, in whole or in part, or (ii) no disposition of such claim is made within ninety (90) days of request therefore. Employee, in such enforcement action, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting his claim. It shall be a defense to any action for which a claim for indemnification is made under Section 1 hereof (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses pursuant to Section 6 hereof, provided that the required undertaking has been tendered to the Company) that Employee is not entitled to indemnification because of the limitations set forth in Section 2 hereof. Neither the failure of the Company (including its board of directors or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such enforcement action that indemnification of Employee is proper in the circumstances, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its board of directors or its stockholders) that such indemnification is improper shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Employee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise.

8. Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Employee, who shall execute all documents required and shall do all acts that may be necessary to secure such rights and to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

9. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on Employee by this Agreement shall not be exclusive of any other right which Employee may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office.

7

10. Survival of Rights.

(a) The rights conferred on Employee by this Agreement shall continue after Employee has ceased to be a director, officer, Employee or other agent of the Company or to serve at the request of the Company as a director, officer, Employee or other agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, Employee benefit plan or other enterprise and shall inure to the benefit of Employee’s heirs, executors and administrators.

(b) The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

11. Severability. Each of the provisions of this Agreement is a separate and distinct agreement and independent of the others, so that if any provision hereof shall be held to be invalid for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. Furthermore, if this Agreement shall be invalidated in its entirety on any ground, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Employee to the fullest extent provided by the Bylaws, the NYCRR or any other applicable law.

12. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

13. Amendment and Termination. No amendment, modification, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing signed by both parties hereto.

14. Identical Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Only one such counterpart need be produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement.

15. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction hereof.

16. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) upon delivery if delivered by hand to the party to whom such communication was directed or (ii) upon the third business day after the date on which such communication was mailed if mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid to the parties address of record, or to such other address as may have been furnished to Employee by the Company.
