2. Buyer’s Representations and Warranties. The Buyer represents and warrants to the Company that:
a. The Buyer has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, the execution and delivery of which has been duly authorized and this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Buyer, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and similar laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of rights of creditors, and except as enforceability of the obligations hereunder are subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or law).
b. The Buyer acknowledges its understanding that the offering and sale of the Series C Shares and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Shares (such shares of common stock being collectively referred to herein as the “Conversion Shares” and, collectively with the Series C Shares, the “Securities”) is intended to be exempt from registration under the 1933 Act, by virtue of Rule 506(b) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the provisions of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. In furtherance thereof, the Buyer represents and warrants to the Company and its affiliates as follows:
i. The Buyer realizes that the basis for the exemption from registration may not be available if, notwithstanding the Buyer’s representations contained herein, the Buyer is merely acquiring the Securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise. The Buyer does not have any such intention.
ii. The Buyer realizes that the basis for exemption would not be available if the offering is part of a plan or scheme to evade registration provisions of the 1933 Act or any applicable state or federal securities laws, except sales pursuant to a registration statement or sales that are exempted under the 0000 Xxx.
iii. The Buyer is acquiring the Securities solely for the Buyer’s own beneficial account, for investment purposes, and not with a view towards, or resale in connection with, any distribution of the Securities.
iv. The Buyer has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of the Buyer’s investment, has adequate means for providing for its current needs and contingencies, and has no need for liquidity with respect to an investment in the Company.
v. The Buyer and the Buyer’s attorney, accountant, purchaser representative and/or tax advisor, if any (collectively, the “Advisors”) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of a prospective investment in the Securities. The Buyer also represents it has not been organized solely for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.
2
vii. The Buyer (together with its Advisors, if any) has received all documents requested by the Buyer, if any, and has carefully reviewed them and understands the information contained therein, prior to the execution of this Agreement.
c. The Buyer is not relying on the Company or any of its employees, agents, sub-agents or advisors with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations involved in this investment. The Buyer has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only its Advisors.
d. The Buyer has carefully considered the potential risks relating to the Company and a purchase of the Securities, and fully understands that the Securities are a speculative investment that involves a high degree of risk of loss of the Buyer’s entire investment. Among other things, the Buyer has carefully considered each of the risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s SEC filings.
e. The Buyer will not sell or otherwise transfer any Securities without registration under the 1933 Act or an exemption therefrom, and fully understands and agrees that the Buyer must bear the economic risk of its purchase because, among other reasons, the Securities have not been registered under the 1933 Act or under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the 1933 Act and under the applicable securities laws of such states, or an exemption from such registration is available. In particular, the Buyer is aware that the Securities are “restricted securities,” as such term is defined in Rule 144, and they may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 unless all of the conditions of Rule 144 are met. The Buyer also understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities on behalf of the Buyer. The Buyer understands that any sales or transfers of the Securities are further restricted by state securities laws and the provisions of this Agreement.
f. The Buyer and its Advisors, if any, have had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from a person or persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning the offering and the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Company, and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of the Buyer and its Advisors, if any.
g. The Buyer represents and warrants that: (i) the Buyer was contacted regarding the sale of the Securities by the Company (or an authorized agent or representative thereof) with whom the Buyer had a prior substantial pre-existing relationship; and (ii) no Securities were offered or sold to it by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising, and in connection therewith, the Buyer did not: (A) receive or review any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in a newspaper or magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, whether closed circuit, or generally available; or (B) attend any seminar meeting or industry investor conference whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or general advertising; or (C) observe any website or filing of the Company with the SEC in which any offering of securities by the Company was described and as a result learned of any offering of securities by the Company.
3
h. The Buyer has taken no action that would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finders’ fees or the like relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
i. The Buyer is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.
j. Legends. The Buyer understands that until such time as the Securities have been registered under the 1933 Act or may be sold pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration, the Securities shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE PLEDGED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (1) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (2) THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER OF SUCH SECURITIES, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE ISSUER’S TRANSFER AGENT, THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”
The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of any Security upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by applicable state securities laws, (a) such Security is registered for sale under an effective registration statement filed under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, or (b) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected. The Buyer agrees to sell all Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed, in compliance with applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any. In the event that the Company does not accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Buyer with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144, at the Deadline (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), it will be considered an Event of Default (as defined in the Certificate of Designation).

Re: Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions
Ladies and Gentlemen:
FRIBNDABLB, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) and Xxxxxx Xxxx Remark Holdings, Inc., a New York corporation (the “Investor”) have entered into four (4) Series C Preferred Stock Purchase Agreements dated as of December 10, 2019, March 24, 2020, October 27, 2020 and December 15, 2020 (collectively, (he “Agreements”) providing for the issuance of the 58,300 shares, 38,000 shares, 36,300 shares and 42,350 shares of Series C Preferred Stock of the Company (“Series C Shares”) respectively, which arc convertible into shares of common stock of the Company pursuant to the Certificate of Designation for a total current balance of 164,950 shares of Series C Shares owned by the Investor. A copy of the Certificate of Designation with respect to the Series C Shares is attached hereto (the “Certificate of Designation”).
You are hereby irrevocably authorized and instructed to reserve two hundred three million, one hundred twenty-four thousand, seven hundred fifty-nine (203,124,759) shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) of the Company for the Investor for issuance upon the terms stated below. The amount of Common Stock so reserved for the Investor may be increased, from time to time, by written instructions of the Company and the Investor. Once the reserve shares have been issued Nevada Agency and Transfer Company (the “Transfer Agent”) shall have no further duty or obligation to issue shares until the reserve has been increased by the Company and the Investor. You are hereby further irrevocably authorized and directed to issue the shares of Common Stock so reserved upon your receipt from the Investor of: (A)(i) a notice of conversion (“Notice of Conversion”) executed by the Investor that includes the number of shares, number of preferred shares being converted and conversion ratio; and (ii) if the Investor requests that the shares be issued without a restrictive legend, an opinion of counsel of the Investor, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions (and satisfactory to the Transfer Agent), to the effect that the share of Common Stock of the Company issued to the Investor pursuant to the Conversion Notice are not “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 and should be issued to the Investor without any restrictive legend; and (B) the number of shares to be issued is less than 4.99% of the total issued common stock of the Company. You shall have no duty or obligation to confirm the accuracy or the information set forth on the Notice of Conversion or any of the documents related thereto including, but not limited to, any legal opinion or the underlying documents between the Company and the Investor upon which govern the transaction to which the Notice of Conversion is related. The Company recognizes that if the Company desires the Transfer Agent to refrain from issuing the Common Stock as instructed on the Notice of Conversion, for any reason, the Company must obtain an order from a court of competent jurisdiction prohibiting the issuance. In the event of a stock split (forward or reverse) the reserve will automatically adjust to reflect such stock split.
The parties acknowledge that the Transfer Agent has no access to information which would allow it to monitor the Investor’s ownership of the Company’s common stock as the Investor could beneficially own shares registered in the name of a third party. Accordingly, the parties agree the Transfer Agent shall have no duty to monitor or require compliance with the limitations on the Investor’s ownership of the Company’s common stock as specified in these instructions.
The Company must be participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program in order for the shares to be delivered electronically, The shares to be issued arc to be registered in the names of the registered holder of the securities submitted for conversion or exercise. The Transfer Agent shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of shares caused by the Holder’s broker failing to initiate the electronic request in the FAST system.
Once the Series C Shares arc fully converted, the Investor agrees to provide written notification (an email being acceptable) to the Transfer Agent that the remaining reserved shares may be released. The Investor agrees to provide a copy of all conversion requests to the Company at the time the conversion request is submitted to the Transfer Agent. The terms of these Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions are non-assignablc and may not be transferred for the benefit of any third party without the express written consent of the Company. Any attempted assignment or transfer without such written consent shall be deemed void from its inception and shall have no legal effect. The Company hereby represents and warrants that the Investor is aware of, and agrees to, the provisions of these Instructions in connection with the transaction which led to execution of these Instructions.
The shares will be issued within three (3) business days, not counting the day of receipt, following receipt of the Notice of Conversion and legal opinion. If the Company’s account is at least 30 days past due, the Investor is responsible for the prepaid Transfer Agent conversion and DWAC fees. In no event shall the Transfer Agent be required to issue and deliver shares without the prior payment of all its fees.
The Company and the Investor intend that these instructions require the placement of a restrictive legend on all applicable share certificates unless the requirements listed below are met and the Investor provides the Transfer Agent with an acceptable legal opinion stating that share certificates can be issued without a legend. If the instructions exceed 4.99% of the total issued and outstanding the Transfer Agent shall have no duty or obligation to issue shares. So long as you have previously received confirmation from the Company (or Investor counsel) that the shares have been registered under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction, such shares should be transferred, at the option of the holder of the Series C Shares as specified in the Notice of Conversion, either (i) electronically by crediting the account of a Prime Broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system if the Company is a participant or (ii) in certificated form without any legend which would restrict the transfer of the shares, and you should remove all stop-transfer instructions relating to such shares. So long as the number of shares to be issued is less than 4.99% of the total issued and outstanding common stock of the Company and you are advised by Investor counsel that the shares have been registered under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction, you are hereby instructed to place the following legends on the certificates:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT, OR AN OPINION OF INVESTOR COUNSEL IN FORM, SUBSTANCE AND SCOPE CUSTOMARY FOR OPINIONS OF COUNSEL IN COMPARABLE TRANSACTIONS, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.
The legend set forth above shall be removed and you are instructed to issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of any shares upon which it is stamped, if: (a) such shares arc registered for sale under an effective registration statement filed under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction and the number of shares to be issued is less than 4.99% of the total issued common stock of the Company, (b) such holder provides the Company and the transfer agent with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions (and satisfactory to the transfer agent), to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such security may be made without registration under the 1933 Act and such sale or transfer is effected. Nothing herein shall be construed to require the Transfer Agent to take any action which would violate state or federal rules, regulations or law. If an instruction herein would require such a violation, such instructions, but not any other term herein, shall be void and unenforceable.
The Company shall indemnify and defend you and your officers, directors, principals, partners, agents and representatives, and hold each of them harmless from and against any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of its and Transfer Agent’s attorney) incurred by or asserted against you or any of them arising out of or in connection the instructions set forth herein, the performance of your duties hereunder and otherwise in respect hereof, including the costs and expenses of defending yourself or themselves against any claim or liability hereunder, except that the Company shall not be liable hereunder as to matters in respect of which it is judicially determined that you have acted with gross negligence or in bad faith. You shall have no liability to the Company or the Investor in respect to any action taken or any failure to act in respect of this if such action was taken or omitted to be taken in good faith, and you shall be entitled to rely in (his regard on the advice of counsel.
The Company agrees that in the event that the Transfer Agent resigns, is terminated or removed as the Company’s transfer agent, the Company shall engage a suitable replacement transfer agent that will agree to serve as transfer agent for the Company and be bound by the terms and conditions of these Irrevocable Instructions within five (5) business days. The Company and the Investor agree that any action which names the Transfer Agent as a party shall be brought in a court of general jurisdiction in Washoe County, Nevada and no other court.
The Investor is a party to these instructions and accordingly is bound by these terms.
