WHEREAS, the Company now desires to offer a combination of (i) an immediate payment to Holder of Twenty Two Thousand Four Hundred Dollars ($22,400) (the “Cash Payment”), and (ii) a new promissory note to each of Holder and SA, each in the same form and as part of the same series as the New Note (as such term is defined in the Exchange Agreement), and each in the principal amount of Fifty Eight Thousand Eight Hundred Dollars ($58,800), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, the “Additional Note”), in exchange for and in place of the Stock Grant.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the existence and sufficiency of which is expressly recognized by all of the parties hereto, the parties agree as follows:
