Company by CCI, if applicable.
2. Fairness Hearing. Upon the execution hereof, Company and CCI agree, pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"), to immediately
submit the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the Court for a hearing on the fairness of such terms and conditions, and the issuance exempt from registration
of the Settlement Shares. This Agreement shall become binding upon the parties only upon entry of an Order by the Court substantially in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit A (the "Order").
3. Settlement Shares. Following entry of an Order by the Court in accordance with Paragraph 2 herein and the execution by CCI and Company of the Stipulation
and Order of Dismissal (as defined below) subject to paragraph 7 herein, Company shall issue and deliver to CCI shares of its Common Stock (the "Settlement Shares")
as follows:
a. In settlement of the Claims, Company shall initially issue and deliver to CCI, in one or more tranches as necessary subject to paragraph 3(f) herein, shares
of Common Stock (the "Initial Issuance"), subject to adjustment and ownership limitations as set forth below, sufficient to satisfy the compromised amount at a fifty
percent (50%) discount to market (the total amount of the claims divided by 50%) based on the market price during the valuation period as defined herein through the
issuance of freely trading securities issued pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act (the "settlement shares"). The Company shall also issue to CCI, on
the issuance date(s), One Million Seven Hundred Four Thousand Eight Hundred Fifty Nine (1,704,859) freely trading shares pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the
Securities Act in accordance herewith as a settlement fee.
b. No later than the first business day following the date that the Court enters the Order, time being of the essence, Company shall: (i) cause its legal counsel
to issue an opinion to Company's transfer agent, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to CCI and such transfer agent, that the shares of Common Stock to be
issued as the Initial Issuance and Additional Issuance (as defined below) and shares issued as a settlement fee are legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable, are
exempt from registration under the Securities Act, may be issued without restrictive legend, and may be resold by CCI without restriction; (ii) transmit via email,
facsimile and overnight delivery an irrevocable and unconditional instruction to Company's stock transfer agent in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B; and (iii)
within three (3) days thereof, issue and deliver to CCI Settlement Shares and settlement fee shares in one or more tranches as necessary, without any legends or
restrictions on transfer, sufficient to satisfy the compromised amount along with settlement fee shares, through the issuance of freely trading securities issued
pursuant to Section 3(a)10 of the Securities Act. Pursuant to this agreement, CCI may deliver a request to CLKA either directly or through Company's Transfer Agent
pursuant to Exhibit "B" which states the dollar amount (designated in U.S. dollars) of Common Stock to be issued to CCI (the "Share Request" or "Conversion Notice").
The date upon which the first tranche of the Initial Issuance shares along with any shares issued as a settlement fee have been received into CCI's account and are
available for sale by CCI shall be referred to as the "Issuance Date". Additionally, the Company shall be fully responsible for all of the Transfer Agent's costs for
each and every conversion of the Settlement Shares and Settlement Fee Shares pursuant to this section which shall be promptly paid upon request by said Transfer Agent
of CCI. In the event that Company is delinquent on issuance of shares of stock to CCI pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 3 within five (5) business
days of a request for issuance of shares pursuant to Court Order Granting Approval of this Settlement Agreement, then the Discount shall be increased by five percent
(5%), as well as an additional five percent (5%) for each additional delinquency of five (5) Trading Days up to a maximum Discount of ninety percent (90%) until all
Settlement Shares and settlement fee shares have been received by CCI and Company has fully complied with all terms and conditions and obligations pursuant to this
Settlement Agreement and Stipulation.
c. During the Valuation Period, the Company shall deliver to CCI, through
the Initial Issuance and any required Additional Issuance subject to paragraph 3(f) herein that number of shares (the "Final Amount") with an aggregate value equal to (A) the sum of the Claim Amount, divided by (B) the Purchase Price. The parties acknowledge that the number of Settlement Shares along with any settlement fee shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement is indeterminable as of the date of its execution, and could well exceed the current existing number of shares outstanding as of the date of its execution.
d. If at any time during the Valuation Period the Market Price is below 90% of the Market Price on the day before the Issuance Date, Company will immediately cause to be issued and delivered to CCI in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(b) herein, such additional shares as may be required to effect the purposes of this Settlement Agreement (each, an "Additional Issuance"), subject to the limitation in the paragraph below. At the end of the Valuation Period, if the sum of the Initial Issuance and any Additional Issuance is greater than the Final Amount, CCI shall promptly deliver any remaining shares to Company or its transfer agent for cancellation.
e. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is the
intention of the parties that the Settlement Shares along with settlement fee shares beneficially owned by CCI at any given time shall not exceed the number of such shares that, when aggregated with all other shares of Company then beneficially owned by CCI, or deemed beneficially owned by CCI, would result in CCI owning more than 9.99% of all of such Common Stock as would be outstanding on such date, as determined in accordance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder. In compliance therewith, the Company agrees to deliver the Initial Issuance and any Additional Issuances in one or more tranches.
f. For the avoidance of doubt, the price used to determine the number of
shares of Common Stock to be delivered pursuant to any Share Request shall be rounded up to the nearest decimal place of .00001.
4. Necessary Action. At all times after the execution of this Agreement and entry of the Order by the Court, each party hereto agrees to take or cause to be taken all such necessary action including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents, as may be reasonably requested by any party for such purposes or otherwise necessary to effect and complete the transactions contemplated hereby.
5. Releases. Upon receipt of all of the Settlement Shares and settlement fee shares for and in consideration of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and except for the obligations, representations, indemnifications pursuant to paragraph 15 herein and covenants arising or made hereunder or a breach hereof, the parties hereby release, acquit and forever discharge the other and each, every and all of their current and past officers, directors,
shareholders, affiliated corporations, subsidiaries, agents, employees, representatives, attorneys, predecessors, successors and assigns (the "Released Parties"), of and from any and all claims, damages, cause of action, suits and costs, of whatever nature, character or description, whether known or unknown, anticipated or unanticipated, which the parties may now have or may hereafter have or claim to have against each other with respect to the Claims.
