five hundred thousand (7,500,000) shares of Seller's Series Z Preferred shares
(the "REDG Series Z Stock" or "REDG Z Shares"); and
WHEREAS, Seller is agreeable to these terms and is willing to tender its
ownership of the Properties in exchange for two million five hundred thousand
REDG Series Z Shares, the value of which is believed to be an equivalent
exchange; and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants, and
representations contained herein, the parties hereto intending to be legally
bound hereby, agree as follows:

which are hereby assigned to Buyer, to the Buyer free and clear of any and all
Encumbrances whatsoever, and the Seller further agrees to waive any moral rights
that the Seller may have with respect to the Properties in favor of the Buyer.
1.3 NO ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES. It is expressly understood and agreed

violation, default or failure to perform with respect to the Properties.
1.4 FURTHER ASSURANCES. At any time after Closing, and from time to time
thereafter, the Seller shall, upon the Buyer's written request, and at the
Buyer's expense, take any and all action and execute, acknowledge and deliver to

Affiliate or Seller's Affiliate to transfer, assign, convey or release in favor
of the Buyer any and all right, title or interest that such Affiliate or
Seller's Affiliate may have in or to the Properties without payment of any
additional consideration by the Buyer. The Seller hereby irrevocably designates

proceedings at law, in equity or otherwise, to execute, acknowledge and deliver
any and all instruments and assurances necessary or expedient in order to fully
vest in the Buyer or perfect the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of
the Properties to the Buyer or to protect the same or to enforce any claim or
right of any kind with respect thereto. The foregoing power is coupled with an
interest and is irrevocable.
1.5 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNERSHIP. The Parties acknowledge and agree
that, as between Buyer and Seller, Seller irrevocably assigns to Buyer herewith,
and acknowledges that, to the extent permitted under applicable law, Buyer owns
and retains, the entire and exclusive right, title, and interest in and to the
Properties including all their included works and other characteristics
associated therewith and any and all objects, sound and works embodied in the
Properties, and all Intellectual Property or other identifications used with or
in conjunction with the Properties created, designed or developed by Seller or
its contractors from the inception of the development of the Properties, and
each of them individually, and all renewals and extensions thereof inclusive of
Seller's institutional trademarks.
To the extent Seller owns or controls intellectual property rights related
to the Properties but not assigned herein, Seller hereby licenses such rights to
Buyer on a non-exclusive, non-transferable basis solely to the extent necessary
to fulfill the spirit of this Agreement.
1.6 REVENUE. As per the Effective Date, any and all revenue derived
directly or indirectly from the Properties is the property of the Buyer
exclusively.

title, and interest in the Properties shown on Schedule "A" of this Agreement
owned by Seller, and Seller hereby agrees to transfer full title and interest in
the Properties to Buyer, subject to the terms of this Agreement. Delivery of the
