B.Novastar and GGL entered into that certain Sale and Purchase Agreement dated July 28, 2016 (“PSA”), by which Novastar sold certain limited liability companies to GGL (the “GGL Acquisition”) including 100% of NTE-Utah, LLC.

 

C.In connection with the GGL Acquisition, GGL issued a promissory note to Novastar, dated July 28, 2016, in the amount of USD$3,422,353 (the “GGL Note”).

 

D.TBL, as seller, is entering into a Purchase and Sale Agreement, as seller, with FEOI as buyer dated as of December 30, 2016 (the “TBL SPA”)

 

E.The TBL SPA inter alia contemplates that FEOI will acquire GGL from TBL and that the GGL Note will be assigned, satisfied, and wholly discharged as to GGL with Novastar looking solely to TBL for any payment or any other satisfaction thereon.

 

F.The TBL SPA requires that the GGL Note be removed as an obligation of GGL upon delivery by FEOI of a $6 million promissory note to TBL as part of the purchase consideration under the TBL SPA (the “Buyer Note”) and that thereupon, as to GGL, Novastar shall deem the GGL Note shall be fully satisfied and wholly discharged.

 

G.TBL has made separate arrangements with Novastar concerning satisfaction of the GGL Note as to which neither GGL nor FEOI is a party.

Novastar further represents and warrants that it has not assigned nor transferred any of its rights to or under the GGL Note to any third person or party.

 
 

 

3.      The parties acknowledge that the entry into this Agreement is a material consideration and a principal inducement under the TBL SPA without which FEOI would not enter into the TBL SPA.

 

4.      In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby in such jurisdiction, and such provision or obligation shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby in any other jurisdiction.
