WHEREAS, the Company is in the business of Alternative Energy Project Development and has developed valuable funding relationships and lines of credit, a sales pipeline, and proprietary sales strategies;

WHEREAS, the Buyer has developed a platform for the marketing, sale, finance, and installation of alternative energy and related products (“Buyer Platform”); and

WHEREAS, the Parties believe Buyer’s phased acquisition of the Company, including an 18-month period of onboarding of the Company onto the Buyer Platform and integrating the Company into Buyer’s operations, will provide substantial value and growth opportunities to both the Buyer and Company; and

WHEREAS, in exchange for being onboarded onto the Buyer Platform and integrated into the Buyer’s operations, the Company wishes to issue 4,593,313 shares of Company Common Stock (the “Purchased Shares”), the equivalent of 51% of the Company, to the Buyer;

WHEREAS, at the expiration of the 18-month onboarding period or sooner as agreed upon by the Parties, and in the event neither party elects to opt out in accordance with Section 1.2(b), the Company desires to sell 4,413,183 shares of common stock constituting 49% of the Company (the “Remaining Shares”) to the Buyer, and the Buyer desires to purchase the Additional Shares upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals (which are incorporated herein by this reference) and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, as well as other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE PURCHASED SHARES

1.1 Purchase and Sale of the Purchased Shares.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, the Buyer shall purchase from the Company, and the Company shall sell and issue to the Buyer, all of the Purchased Shares, free and clear of all Liens other than restrictions on transfer under the Organizational Documents of the Company and applicable state and federal securities laws and any Liens created by or imposed by the Buyer. The issuance of the Purchased Shares to Buyer will result in Buyer owning 51% of the Company.

- 1 -

(b) Upon the Closing of this Agreement, an onboarding period will commence for the purpose of effectuating the payment of the Purchased Shares as set forth in Section 1.2(a), and calculating the purchase price of the Remaining Shares as set forth in Section 1.2(b) (the “Onboarding Period”). Except as otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, the Onboarding Period will commence on July 25, 2025 and expire on or about July 25, 2026. At the expiration of the Onboarding Period, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 1.2(b), the Buyer shall purchase from the Company, and the Company shall sell and issue to the Buyer, all of the Remaining Shares, free and clear of all Liens other than restrictions on transfer under the Organizational Documents of the Company and applicable state and federal securities laws and any Liens created by or imposed by the Buyer. Profit distributions during the Onboarding Period will be distributed according to ownership percentages, with 51% to Buyer and 49% to Company.

(c) The period from the date of closing until the determination in writing of the commencement of the 12-month period to determine valuation shall be utilized for the purpose of preparing Company to maximize profitability. During this period, all terms and conditions of the agreement shall apply, and all profits during this period will continue to be distributed according to ownership percentages, with 51% to Buyer and 49% to Company.

1.2 Purchase Price.

(a) As payment in full for the Purchased Shares, ▇▇▇▇▇ commits to onboard the Company onto the Buyer Platform, pay Company’s operating expenses, and integrate the Company into Buyer’s operations (the “Onboarding Plan”), which includes:

	·	Payment of the Company’s operating expenses incurred between January 25, 2025, and the Closing Date, attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A.
	·	Providing capital needed to pay Company’s monthly operating expenses and facilitate the growth projections of the Company via proforma agreed upon by all parties prior to the Closing, attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit B, which is subject to reasonable adjustment in writing as necessary.
	·	Implementation of all TAG Programs into the Company.
	·	Executive business acumen.
	·	Proprietary Growth Strategies.
	·	Necessary Human Capital, including the retention of all current Company employees and the provision to the Company of sufficient administrative support to facilitate, process, fund, and implement all projects sold by Company.
	·	Provision of all Shared Services to Company, including but not limited to Marketing, Human Resources and Accounting.
	·	Placement in TAG Grid to promote additional Business Opportunities.

(b) Subject to the opt-out provisions contained herein, within thirty (30) days of the expiration of the Onboarding Period payment in full for the Remaining Shares (49%) shall be due from Buyer to Company and calculated as four times the Adjusted EBITDA for the Company calculated for the duration of the Onboarding Period (the “Final Payment”). By way of illustration, if the Onboarding Period is 12 months, and the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA for that period is $2MM, then the Final Payment due from Buyer to Company shall be $2MM x 4 = $8MM x .49% remaining ownership= $3,920,000. Payout to be via 75% stock issuance, and 25% cash payment.

(i) “EBITDA” means net income, calculated as services revenues from the operations of the Company, including any portion of revenue jointly earned by Buyer and Company and allocated to Company by mutual agreement, less the total expenses of the Company towards employee salaries (including benefits), payroll costs, payroll taxes, independent contractor payments (and any corresponding benefits) and vendor payments, all as determined in accordance with GAAP as consistently applied by the Company less all overhead expenses and every business related expense excluding income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization.

- 2 -

(ii) “Adjusted EBITDA” means EBITDA as measured on a US GAAP basis for the Onboarding Period and adjusted to add back any management fees, general overhead expenses, or other intercompany charges, of whatever kind or nature, charged by Buyer to the Company, except that Buyer may charge interest on any loans or advances made by Buyer to the Company in connection with their business operations. For the avoidance of doubt, the Adjusted EBITDA of the Company includes any portion of profits ultimately due to Buyer as a 51% shareholder in the Company.

(iii) In the event the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA is calculated to be less than $250,000, Buyer may opt out of its agreement to purchase the Remaining Shares from Company.

1.3 Closing; Closing Date.

The Company has complied with all Form 5500 series filing obligations with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan.

(f) No Employee Benefit Plan or other arrangement maintained by the Company, either individually or collectively, exists that, as a result of the execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, alone or in connection with any subsequent event(s), would (i) result in any increase in any payment or benefit, the vesting or funding (through a grantor trust or otherwise) of any payment or benefit, or the payment of or acceleration of the payment of any payment or benefit, in each case under any Employee Benefit Plan, (ii) limit the right to merge, amend or terminate any Employee Benefit Plan, or (iii) result in any “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code (disregarding for this purpose whether or not such payment is considered to be reasonable compensation for services rendered).

(a) The execution and delivery by the Buyer of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which the Buyer is or will be a party, the compliance by the Buyer with its obligations hereunder and thereunder and/or the consummation by the Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, do not and will not: (i) result in a violation or breach of or conflict with the Organizational Documents of the Buyer, or (ii) assuming that (x) all consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations, qualifications, declarations, filings, notifications and other actions described in Section 3.3(b) are obtained or made, (y) any applicable waiting periods required thereunder have been terminated or expired, and (z) any condition precedent or other obligation to any such consent, approval, authorization or waiver has been satisfied, (A) conflict with, violate or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) a violation of, in any material respect, any material Law applicable to the Buyer or by which any property or asset of the Buyer is bound, or (B) require the delivery of any notice or consent under, result in a violation or breach of, conflict with any provision of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) a default or give rise to any right of termination, acceleration or cancellation or loss of material benefit under, or accelerate the performance required by, or give rise to any obligation of the Buyer to make any material payment under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any material Contract to which the Buyer is a party or by which the Buyer or any of its properties or assets are bound.

(b) The execution and delivery by the Buyer of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which the Buyer is or will be a party, the compliance by the Buyer with its obligations hereunder and thereunder and/or the consummation by the Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, do not and will not require any consent, approval or authorization of, waiting period expiration or termination, or registration, qualification, declaration or filing with or notification to, any Governmental Authority or any other Person, other than any consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations, qualifications, declarations, filings, or notifications that, if not obtained, made, or given, would not have a material impact on the Buyer.

3.4 No Proceedings.

No Action is pending or, to the knowledge of the Buyer, threatened before any Governmental Authority (a) seeking to prohibit the Buyer from (i) entering into this Agreement, (ii) performing its covenants and obligations hereunder, and/or (iii) consummating the transactions contemplated hereby; (b) seeking to prohibit the Closing; and/or (c) seeking Damages against the Buyer or any of the assets or properties of the Buyer as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

3.5 Brokers.

All negotiations relating to this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been carried out without the intervention of any Person acting on behalf of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates in such a manner as to give rise to any valid claim against the Company for any investment banker, brokerage or finder’s commission, fee or similar compensation.

3.6 Investment Representations.

(a) The Buyer is acquiring the Purchased Shares solely for its own account for investment purposes and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof. Other than the LLC Agreement, the Buyer has not entered into any written or oral agreement or understanding to sell or transfer or pledge the Purchased Shares.

(b) The Buyer is aware that the Purchased Shares are being offered and sold by means of an exemption under the Securities Act, as well as exemptions under certain state securities laws for nonpublic offerings, and that the Buyer makes the representations, declarations and warranties as contained in this Section 3.6 with the intent that the same shall be relied upon in determining the Buyer’s suitability as a purchaser of the Purchased Shares. The Buyer understands that the Purchased Shares have not been, and will not be, approved or disapproved by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or by any other federal or state agency, and that no such agency has passed on the accuracy or adequacy of disclosures made to the Buyer by the Company and the Company. The Buyer understands that no federal or state governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Purchased Shares or an investment in the Company.

- 29 -

(c) The Buyer is an “Accredited Investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Buyer is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Company and of making an informed investment decision.

(d) The Buyer understands and acknowledges that the Purchased Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state and, unless such Purchased Shares are so registered, they may not be offered, sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or any rules and regulations thereunder. The Buyer recognizes that there will be no public market for the Purchased Shares, and that the Company is under no obligation to register the resale of the Purchased Shares under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, or to comply with any exemption available for the resale of the Purchased Shares without registration. The transferability of the Purchased Shares will also be restricted by the LLC Agreement. Thus, the Buyer realizes that it cannot expect to be able to liquidate its investment in the Company readily or at all. The Buyer is able to bear the economic risk of holding the Purchased Shares for an indefinite period (including total loss of its investment).

(e) The Buyer has not received any general solicitation or general advertisement in connection with its purchase of or investment in the Purchased Shares.

3.7 No Other Representations or Warranties.

Except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Article 3, neither the Buyer nor any Person on behalf of the Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates, has made or makes any express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Buyer or any of its assets, properties and businesses, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or with respect to any other information provided to the Company, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

ARTICLE 4

INDEMNIFICATION

4.1 Survival.

The representations and warranties of the Company and the Company contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect until the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date (the date of expiration of such eighteen (18)-month period, the “General Expiration Date”); provided, however, that (a) the Fundamental Representations shall not expire and shall survive indefinitely; (b) the Specified Representations shall survive until the date that is sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the underlying subject matter of such representations and warranties (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof), and (c) in the event of fraud, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation with respect to a representation or warranty, such representation or warranty shall survive indefinitely; and provided, further, that all representations and warranties of the Company and the Company shall survive beyond the General Expiration Date or other survival periods specified above with respect to any breach thereof or inaccuracy therein if a claim is made hereunder in writing setting forth the specific claim and the basis therefor prior to the expiration of the survival period for such representation and warranty, in which case such representation and warranty shall survive as to such claim until such claim has been finally resolved. The representations and warranties of the Buyer contained herein or in any certificate or other instrument required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate at the Closing. All covenants and other agreements contained herein shall survive the Closing indefinitely or for the period explicitly specified therein. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the foregoing respective survival periods and termination dates supersede any applicable statutes of limitations that would otherwise apply to such representations and warranties.

- 30 -

4.2 Indemnity by the Company.

Subject to the other provisions of this Article 4, from and after the Closing, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Damages paid, incurred, suffered or sustained by the Buyer Indemnified Parties, or any of them, directly or indirectly, arising out of, resulting from or in any way related to any of the following:

(a) any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any of the representations or warranties contained in Article 2 of this Agreement;

(b) any breach by the Company of any covenant, obligation, or agreement in this Agreement;

(c) any fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation on the part of the Company in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby;

(d) any Indemnified Taxes; and/or

(e) any of the matters identified in Schedule 4.2(e), if any.

The parties acknowledge and agree that, if after the Closing the Company suffers, incurs or otherwise becomes subject to any Damages as a result of or in connection with any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation, then (without limiting any of the rights of the Company as a Buyer Indemnified Party) the Buyer shall also be deemed, by virtue of its Ownership of the Company, to have incurred Damages as a result of and in connection with such inaccuracy or breach.

4.3 Limitations on Indemnification.

The indemnification provided for in Section 4.2 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) Claims Basket. The Buyer Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 4.2(a) to the extent the aggregate amount of all Damages incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 4.2(a) exceeds $50,000 (the “Basket Amount”), and the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to indemnification for such Damages to the extent such Damages exceed the Basket Amount; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to (i) claims for breaches of, or inaccuracies in, any of the Fundamental Representations, or (ii) claims based on fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations set forth in this Section 4.3(a) shall not apply to indemnification claims under Sections 4.2(b) through 4.2(e), inclusive.

(b) Indemnification Cap. The aggregate amount of Damages for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 4.2(a) will not exceed $250,000 (the “Indemnification Cap”); provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to (i) claims for breaches of, or inaccuracies in, any of the Fundamental Representations, or (ii) claims based on fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations set forth in this Section 4.3(b) shall not apply to indemnification claims under Sections 4.2(b) through 4.2(e), inclusive. In no event shall the liability of the Company in respect of any indemnification obligation pursuant to this Article 4, individually or in the aggregate, exceed $250,000, except in the case of fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation by the Company.

- 31 -

(i) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, but subject to Section 4.3(c)(ii), the parties agree that: (A) in the event any Buyer Indemnified Party (other than the Company) suffers any direct Damages and is entitled to the indemnification pursuant to the terms of this Article 4, the Company shall pay such Damages directly to the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party (other than the Company); and (B) in the event the Company suffers any direct Damages (and the Buyer Indemnified Parties (other than the Company) only suffer indirect Damages related thereto by virtue of its direct or indirect ownership in the Company), and the Buyer Indemnified Parties are entitled to the indemnification pursuant to the terms of this Article 4, the Company shall pay (or cause to be paid) such Damages directly to the Company.

(ii) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 4, with respect to claims for Damages under Section 4.2, each Buyer Indemnified Party shall have the right to demand from the Company and the Company the satisfaction of such Damages through, at the election of such Buyer Indemnified Party in such Buyer Indemnified Party’s sole discretion, any or all of the following means: (A) by payment of cash; (B) the surrender and cancellation of all or a portion of the Company Shares or (C) any combination of the foregoing; provided, that (x) before a Buyer Indemnified Party may surrender and cancel all or a portion of the Company Shares, the Company shall be given a reasonable opportunity to satisfy any such Damages through the payment of cash, and (y) with respect to any surrender and cancellation of Company Shares, such Company Shares shall be valued at the fair market value thereof as determined at the time of such surrender and cancellation.

(d) Materiality. For any and all purposes of this Article 4, all qualifications and exceptions relating to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or words of similar import (but not specific dollar thresholds) shall be disregarded, including for purposes of determining whether or not a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement has occurred, determining whether or not any deductible or threshold amounts have been surpassed (including the Basket Amount), and/or determining or calculating the amount of any Damages.

4.4 Indemnification Claims Procedure.

(a) Third Party Claims.

(i) If any claim or demand for which the Company and the Company would be liable to a Buyer Indemnified Party is asserted against or sought to be collected from such Buyer Indemnified Party by a third party (other than any Buyer Indemnified Party) (a “Third Party Claim”), said Buyer Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness notify in writing the Company of such Third Party Claim (a “Third Party Claim Notice”), which Third Party Claim Notice shall include a description in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by the Buyer Indemnified Party) of the nature of the Third Party Claim and a good faith non-binding, preliminary estimate of the amount of Damages such Buyer Indemnified Party claims to have so incurred or suffered; provided, however, that any failure to give such Third Party Claim Notice will not waive any rights of the Buyer Indemnified Party except to the extent the rights of the Company and the Company are actually prejudiced (or the Company and the Company forfeit rights or defenses by reason of such failure) or to the extent that any applicable period set forth in Section 4.1 has expired without such notice being given.

- 32 -

(ii) After receipt by the Company of a Third Party Claim Notice, upon notice from the Company to the Buyer Indemnified Party (an “Election Notice”) within ten (10) days of the date the Company receives such Third Party Claim Notice, the Company shall have the right (at its option) to defend, manage, conduct and control the defense of the Third Party Claim set forth in such Third Party Claim Notice (including the selection of recognized and reputable counsel satisfactory to the Buyer to handle such Third Party Claim and any proceedings, negotiations, communications or other matters with any claimant in such Third Party Claim), so long as (A) the Company notifies the Buyer Indemnified Party in the Election Notice that the Company and the Company will indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Party from and against any and all Damages the Buyer Indemnified Party could reasonably be expected to suffer resulting from or arising out of the Third Party Claim, and (B) the Company conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently; provided, however, that the Company shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense if (1) such Third Party Claim seeks injunctive, equitable or other non-monetary relief, (2) such Third Party Claim involves criminal or quasi-criminal allegations, (3) it is reasonably likely that the Damages arising from such Third Party Claim will exceed the Indemnification Cap, (4) upon petition by the Buyer Indemnified Party, the appropriate court rules that the Company failed or is failing to conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently, or (5) the Buyer Indemnified Party is advised by counsel that representation of the Company and the Company, on the one hand, and the Buyer Indemnified Party, on the other hand, by the same counsel presents a conflict of interest under applicable standards of professional conduct, in which case the Buyer Indemnified Party shall have the right to control such defense, and the reasonable expenses incurred by such Buyer Indemnified Party in the defense of such Third Party Claim shall constitute indemnifiable Damages.

(iii) If the Company delivers an Election Notice to the Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to a Third Party Claim within ten (10) days of the date the Company receives a Third Party Claim Notice for such Third Party Claim, and so long as the Company is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 4.4(a)(ii), then (A) the Buyer Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, (B) the Buyer Indemnified Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), settle or compromise such Third Party Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim, (C) the Buyer Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith with the Company in the defense of such Third Party Claim, (D) the Company shall have the right to take such action as he deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Buyer Indemnified Party, and (E) the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Buyer Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), settle or compromise such Third Party Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim unless the terms of such settlement provide for a complete, unconditional and final release of the claims that are the subject of such Third Party Claim in favor of the Buyer Indemnified Party, without any finding or admission of any violation of Law on behalf of the Buyer Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives, or any equitable remedies or material non-monetary obligations on the Buyer Indemnified Party.

(iv) If the Company does not deliver an Election Notice to the Buyer Indemnified Party within ten (10) days of the date the Company receives a Third Party Claim Notice, or if any of the conditions set forth above is or becomes unsatisfied, then (A) the Buyer Indemnified Party may defend, manage, conduct and control any proceedings, negotiations, communications or other matters involving or relating to the Third Party Claim set forth in such Third Party Claim Notice, (B) the Company shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it, (C) the Company and the Company will jointly and severally reimburse the Buyer Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the reasonable costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), (D) the Company and the Company will remain jointly and severally responsible for any Damages the Buyer Indemnified Party suffers resulting from or arising out of the Third Party Claim, and (E) the Buyer Indemnified Party may not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

- 33 -

(b) Direct Claims. Any claim by a Buyer Indemnified Party under Section 4.2 on account of Damages that do not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Buyer Indemnified Party giving the Company reasonably prompt written notice thereof (a “Direct Claim Notice”), which Direct Claim Notice shall include a description in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by the Buyer Indemnified Party) of the nature of the Direct Claim and a good faith non-binding, preliminary estimate of the amount of Damages such Buyer Indemnified Party claims to have so incurred or suffered; provided, however, that any failure to give such Direct Claim Notice will not waive any rights of the Buyer Indemnified Party except to the extent the rights of the Company and the Company are actually prejudiced (or the Company and the Company forfeit rights or defenses by reason of such failure) or to the extent that any applicable period set forth in Section 4.1 has expired without such notice being given. The Company shall have thirty (30) days from the receipt of the Direct Claim Notice (the “Direct Claim Response Period”) to respond in writing any such Direct Claim, which written response shall contain a reasonably detailed description of the facts and circumstances supporting an objection to the applicable Direct Claim. During such Direct Claim Response Period, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith to permit the Company and its Representatives to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim. If the Company does not so respond to a Direct Claim Notice within the Direct Claim Response Period, the Company shall be deemed to have irrevocably accepted the Direct Claim set forth in such Direct Claim Notice and acknowledged that the Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to the full amount of the claim for Damages set forth in such Direct Claim Notice. In the event the Company notifies the Buyer Indemnified Party that it seeks to contest any individual Damages asserted in the Direct Claim during the Direct Claim Response Period and within thirty (30) days after the Buyer Indemnified Party’s receipt of such notice from the Company the parties are unable to agree on the rights of the respective parties with respect to any disputed items set forth in the Direct Claim Notice, either the Buyer Indemnified Party or the Company may bring suit in the courts identified in Section 6.5 hereof to resolve the matter.

4.5 Characterization of Indemnity Payments.

Any payment made to a Buyer Indemnified Party by the Company or the Company pursuant to the indemnification obligations under this Article 4 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

4.6 Sole Remedy.

Except with respect to claims based on fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation, and claims for specific performance of covenants or agreements contained herein or claims for specific performance of covenants or agreements in any Ancillary Agreement, following the Closing, indemnification pursuant to this Article 4 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties and any parties claiming by or through any party (including the Buyer Indemnified Parties) related to or arising from any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in, or otherwise pursuant to, this Agreement and none of the Buyer, the Company or the Company shall have any other rights or remedies in connection with any breach of this Agreement or any other liability arising out of the negotiation, entry into or consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability, other Laws or otherwise. All representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are contractual in nature only and subject to the sole and exclusive remedies set forth in this Article 4.

5.4 Release.

(a) For good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which the Company hereby agrees and acknowledges, effective for all purposes as of the Closing, the Company, on behalf of the Company and each of the Company’s executors, administrators, estate, successors, heirs and assigns, voluntarily, knowingly and irrevocably releases and forever discharges the Company, the Buyer and each of their respective officers, directors, managers, employees and Affiliates from any and all actions, agreements, amounts, claims, damages, expenses, liabilities and obligations of every kind, nature or description, known or unknown, arising or existing prior to the Closing, including any and all of the foregoing arising out of or relating to the Company’s capacity as a member, employee, consultant, contractor or other service provider of the Company, but in each case, except for any right, claim or entitlement of the Company under this Agreement. The Company acknowledges that there is a risk that, after the execution of this Agreement or the Closing, the Company will discover, incur or suffer claims which were unknown or unanticipated as of the date or this Agreement or the Closing Date and which, if known by the Company on the date of this Agreement or on the Closing Date, may have materially affected the Company’s decision to enter into this Agreement and/or grant the releases under this Section 5.4. The Company acknowledges and agrees that, by reason of entering into this Agreement, the Company is assuming the risk of all unknown, unsuspected or unanticipated claims released in and by this Section 5.4. The Company, on behalf of the Company and each of the Company’s executors, administrators, estate, successors, heirs and assigns, hereby irrevocably agrees to refrain from directly or indirectly asserting any claim or demand or commencing (or causing to be commenced) any suit, action, or proceeding of any kind, in any court or before any tribunal, against the Company, the Buyer and each of their respective officers, directors, managers, employees and Affiliates based upon any claim released pursuant to this Section 5.4.

(b) The Company acknowledges that the Company is familiar with Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, which provides as follows:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.

The Company acknowledges that the Company may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those that the Company now knows or believes to be true with respect to the subject matter of this release, but it is the Company’s intention, subject to the limitations in this Section 5.4, to fully and finally and forever settle and release any and all claims that do now exist, may exist or heretofore have existed with respect to the subject matter of this release. In furtherance of this intention, the releases contained herein shall be and remain in effect as full and complete general releases notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or different facts.

EXHIBIT A: OPTION AGREEMENT

Upon the Closing of this Agreement, an onboarding period will commence for the purpose of effectuating the payment of the Purchased Shares as set forth in Section 1.2(a), and calculating the purchase price of the Remaining Shares as set forth in Section 1.2(b) (the “Onboarding Period”). Except as otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, the Onboarding Period will commence on July 25, 2025 and expire on or about July 25, 2026. At the expiration of the Onboarding Period, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 1.2(b), the Buyer shall purchase from the Company, and the Company shall sell and issue to the Buyer, all of the Remaining Shares, free and clear of all Liens other than restrictions on transfer under the Organizational Documents of the Company and applicable state and federal securities laws and any Liens created by or imposed by the Buyer. Profit distributions during the Onboarding Period will be distributed according to ownership percentages, with 51% to Buyer and 49% to Company.

The period from the date of closing until the determination in writing of the commencement of the 12-month period to determine valuation shall be utilized for the purpose of preparing Company to maximize profitability. During this period, all terms and conditions of the agreement shall apply, and all profits during this period will continue to be distributed according to ownership percentages, with 51% to Buyer and 49% to Company.

Subject to the opt-out provisions contained herein, within thirty (30) days of the expiration of the Onboarding Period payment in full for the Remaining Shares (49%) shall be due from Buyer to Company and calculated as four times the Adjusted EBITDA for the Company calculated for the duration of the Onboarding Period (the “Final Payment”). By way of illustration, if the Onboarding Period is 12 months, and the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA for that period is $2MM, then the Final Payment due from Buyer to Company shall be $2MM x 4 = $8MM x .49% remaining ownership= $3,920,000. Payout to be via 75% stock issuance, and 25% cash payment.

“EBITDA” means net income, calculated as services revenues from the operations of the Company, including any portion of revenue jointly earned by Buyer and Company and allocated to Company by mutual agreement, less the total expenses of the Company towards employee salaries (including benefits), payroll costs, payroll taxes, independent contractor payments (and any corresponding benefits) and vendor payments, all as determined in accordance with GAAP as consistently applied by the Company less all overhead expenses and every business related expense excluding income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortizati

“Adjusted EBITDA” means EBITDA as measured on a US GAAP basis for the Onboarding Period and adjusted to add back any management fees, general overhead expenses, or other intercompany charges, of whatever kind or nature, charged by Buyer to the Company, except that Buyer may charge interest on any loans or advances made by Buyer to the Company in connection with their business operations. For the avoidance of doubt, the Adjusted EBITDA of the Company includes any portion of profits ultimately due to Buyer as a 51% shareholder in the Company.

In the event the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA is calculated to be less than $250,000, Buyer may opt out of its agreement to purchase the Remaining Shares from Company.
