RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Asset Holder controls certain verifiable collateral (“Collateral”);

WHEREAS the Asset Holder desires to transfer to the Recipient, and the Recipient desires to receive from the Asset Holder, a specific amount of Collateral equal to ONE BILLION USD for the purpose and general use of monetization;

WHEREAS, the Parties would like to confirm and evidence their intent that all rights, title and interest in the Collateral will be transferred to the Recipient as outlined herein;

WHEREAS, the transfer will result in the Parties entering into a series of other agreements related to the management and responsibilities of the Parties as administered by a Fiduciary for the benefit of the Recipient; and

WHEREAS, except as otherwise specified herein or as the context may otherwise require, the terms not defined in this Agreement have the respective meanings outlined in the other Agreements.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals and mutual promises herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Transfer of Collateral.

(a) The Asset Holder hereby agrees to transfer, assign, set over, quitclaim, and otherwise convey to the Recipient, without recourse, representation, or warranty except as provided herein, and the Recipient agrees to accept from the Asset Holder on each date set forth on the related Transfer Supplement (each such date, the “Transfer Date”) all the rights, title, and interest of the Asset Holder, in and to the related Collateral with the verification of said Collateral to be executed as specifically directed by the Asset Holder without deviation or alteration. The consideration for the applicable Collateral is based on the bound and committed monetization amount as arranged by the Recipient, the receipt of which by the Asset Holder is hereby acknowledged by the parties to be good and valuable consideration, consisting of cash equal to fifteen (15%) percent of the monetization, advanced within five (5) business days of clear access to the monetization or monetization facility.

(b) The parties hereto intend that the transfer of Collateral under this Agreement and the related Transfer Supplement shall be duly validated and authenticated by third-party audit procedures, said audit will allow for the transfer and monetization of the transferred Collateral, free and clear of any liens, claims or encumbrances, from the Asset Holder to the Recipient and that the Collateral shall not be part of the Asset Holder’s property for any purposes under state or federal law. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the arrangements concerning the Collateral shall constitute an asset transfer and not a loan. In the event, however, that a court was to hold that the transactions evidenced hereby constitute a loan and not an asset transfer, it is the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement shall be deemed to have created and does hereby create in favour of the Recipient a first-priority perfected security interest in all of the Asset Holder’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Collateral and all proceeds thereof, to secure the obligations of the Asset Holder hereunder.

(c) The Asset Holder hereby authorizes the filing of any financing statements or continuation statements, and amendments to financing statements, in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as the Recipient may determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest described in the preceding paragraph. Such financing statements may describe the collateral in the same manner as described in this Agreement or any other security agreement, assignment, transfer document or pledge agreement entered by the parties in connection therewith.

(d) The Asset Holder will be entitled to an annual distribution of ten (10%) percent of net profits as identified by an independent auditor based on the Recipient’s business activity resulting from the direct investment of any funds derived from the monetization of transferred Collateral. Asset Holder will be notified of any investment the Recipient is undertaking with the capital attributed to the monetization of Collateral.
