COMPENSATION; NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION
2.1
Value of Services. As consideration for the services to be provided by IRTH to the Company pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall pay a monthly non-refundable retainer of US $7,500 (Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars). The initial retainer amount is to be paid upon execution of the Agreement, followed by eleven (11) consecutive monthly payments in the amount of $7,500 (Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars) to be paid on the corresponding day of this Agreement, every thirty (30) days. Wiring instructions are outlined in Appendix B and attached hereto.
For undertaking this engagement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the Company agrees to issue to IRTH and/or its assignee(s), as a single one-time retainer payment, $100,000 (One Hundred Thousand Dollars) worth of shares of the Companys Class A common stock; calculated by the average closing price of the Companys Class A common stock on its principal exchange for the 10 (ten) trading days immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement (the "Restricted Retainer Shares"); which shares shall be Restricted Securities pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Company acknowledges and agrees that all Restricted Retainer Shares is non-cancellable, non-refundable, and is deemed to be earned and issued as of the date this Agreement is signed by the Company and IRTH. The Company shall deliver to IRTH the Restricted Retainer Shares no later than fifteen (15) calendar days from the approval of this agreement by the board and Victory Park Capital, along with a signed resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of this Agreement, and a written approval of counsel for the Company stating that the Restricted Retainer Shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and that the issuance of the Restriicted Retainer Shares to IRTH has been duly authorized by the Company consistent with the Companys by-laws, and the laws of the State of Incorporation. The Company understands and agrees that IRTH has foregone significant opportunities to accept this engagement, and that the Company derives substantial benefit from IRTHS decision to enter into and sign this Agreement. The Restricted Retainer Shares therefore, constitute payment only for IRTHS agreement to consult with the Company, and are a nonrefundable, non- apportionable, and non-ratable retainer; such Restricted Retainer Shares are not a prepayment for future services. IRTH acknowledges that the receipt of the Restricted Retainer Shares involves a high degree of risk and further acknowledges that is can bear the economic risk of receiving the shares, which may include the total loss of its compensation. IRTH represents that it is an "accredited investor" as that term is defined in Securities Act. IRTH is not an underwriter of, or dealer in, the Class A common shares of the Company, nor is IRTH participating, pursuant to a contractual agreement or otherwise, in the distribution of the shares. Delivery instructions are included in Appendix B and attached hereto.
If the Company decides to terminate this Agreement at any time after the effective date of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, it is agreed and understood that IRTH will not be requested or demanded by the Company to return any of the Restricted Retainer Shares. Further, if and in the event the Company is acquired in whole or in part, during the term of this Agreement, it is agreed and understood IRTH will not be requested or demanded by the Company to return any of the Restricted Retainer Shares. It is further agreed that if at any time during the term of this Agreement, the Company or substantially all of the Companys assets are merged with or acquired by another entity, or some other change occurs in the legal entity that constitutes the Company, IRTH shall retain and will not be requested by the Company to return any of the Restricted Retainer Shares.
IRTH and Company understand that the issuance of the Restricted Retainer Shares is being made pursuant to an exemption from registration under state securities law and in accordance with an exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act relating to transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. Consequently, the Shares are Restricted Securities as that term is defined under the Securities Act. IRTH acknowledges that the Restricted Retainer Shares may not be sold or otherwise transferred unless they are subsequent registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities law or an exemption from such registration is available. IRTH further acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to register the resale of the Restricted Retainer Shares.

At such time as IRTH is eligible to resell the Restricted Retainer Shares in accordance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act, or otherwise, the Company agrees to take any and all reasonable action(s) necessary to assist IRTH in the resale by IRTH of the Restricted Retainer Shares upon presentation of any Rule 144(b) application by IRTH or its broker, together with customary representation letters from IRTH and its broker and an opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company (collectively, the "Rule 144(b) Application") including, but not limited to: (1) Authorizing the Companys transfer agent to remove the restrictive legend on the restricted securities in accordance with the Rule 144(b) Application; and (2) Cooperating and communicating with IRTH and its broker in order to use Companys reasonable best efforts to clear the Restricted Retainer Shares for resale in accordance with Rule 144 as soon as possible after presentation of a Rule 144(B) Application by IRTH (or its broker) to either the Company and/or the Companys transfer agent with a copy to the Company. Further, the Company agrees to not unreasonably withhold or delay approval of any Rule 144(b) Application submitted by IRTH to facilitate the resale of the Restricted Retainer Shares in accordance with Rule 144.
IRTH and the Company acknowledge and agree that IRTH will suffer irreparable harm and anticipated and actual damages in the event that the Company unreasonably withholds or delays any Rule 144(b) Application by IRTH to either the Company or the Companys transfer agent, with a copy to the Company. The Company agrees that money damages could not compensate IRTH for its irreparable harm.
IRTH and the Company therefore agree that the Company shall have a period of ten (10) business days from the date IRTHS Rule 144(b) Application is tendered to either the Company or its transfer agent (with a copy to the Company) by either IRTH and/or its broker, to take any and all necessary actions consistent the covenants in Section 5.4 above. The Company and IRTH agree that this ten (10) day period is reasonable and consistent with industry standards concerning the handling and processing of resales of restricted securities under Rule 144 by publicly traded companies. The Company also acknowledges that IRTHS ability to resell the Restricted Retainer Shares, by virtue of the Companys reasonable best efforts, cooperation, covenants and representations in this regard, is a material part of this Agreement and is a reasonable and material expectation of IRTH in entering into this Agreement. Should events occur that require further expense of time beyond this ten (10) day time period, the Company and IRTH shall reasonably agree in a writing signed by each to an extension for a specific amount of time. In no event shall an extension be agreed to unless the Company comports with its reasoanble best efforts obligations, as set out above, and communicates with IRTH bona fide and reasonable attempts at meeting Companys obligations to clear the subject restricted securities, as described herein. Any written extension herein may be executed in counterparts by the principals of the Company and IRTH, and facsimile signatures may be tendered in lieu of originals. It is agreed that the separate signature of each principal on any agreement to extend time shall be deemed a complete original. Notwithstanding the anything contained in this Agreement, the Company makes no representation or warranty to IRTH that it will be able to resell the Restricted Retainer Shares for at least the amount of assigned value in accordance with this Agreement, if at all.
Should the Company fail to successfully take any and all reasonable actions necessary to clear the subject securities of restriction within the ten (10) day time period after IRTH or its brokers presentation of a Rule 144(d) Application, or seek to extend time as provided for above, and in light of the irreparable harm that IRTH will suffer in the event of any intentional and/or unintentional delay in IRTHS Rule 144(b) Application, the Company herein irrevocably consents and agrees that IRTH shall be entitled to injunctive relief in order to immediately enforce IRTHS right to facilitate its efforts to resell the Restricted Retainer Shares in accorance with the provisions of Rule 144. The Company further agrees that IRTH shall be entitled to immediately seek the injunctive relief contemplated and described herein in the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County. Both the Company and IRTH agreed that IRTHS access to injunctive relief; and the Companys consent to IRTHS ability to obtain such injunctive relief, shall not otherwise amend, supersede or modify the parties agreement to submit any other disputes to mediation and arbitration as provided herein.
