4.     Retainer to Consultant

Consultant has provided exemplary services and proven extremely integral to ABI’s corporate operations, business development efforts, and investment financing activities. Given the increased level of responsibility and workload assigned to the Consultant during the engagement, ABI agrees to pay Consultant a monthly cash retainer of $15,000 (the “Retainer”) effective retroactively as of January 1, 2020 for continuing the performance of Services specified in Exhibit A upon the execution of this Amendment. It is understood that ABI may have insufficient cash funds to make payment of Retainer at the time of signing this Amendment. ABI agrees that upon such time it and/or its affiliate companies receives adequate investment financing proceeds, ABI will immediately pay on demand any and all past due Retainer payments in its entirety to Consultant. Note that the payable difference of $7,000 between the retroactive cash retainer increase ($15,000) and original cash retainer ($8,000) shall not be applied as a convertible promissory note; rather it shall be designated payable as a simple cash promissory note at the minimal interest required by law for such promissory note. Notwithstanding, a nominal portion of the Retainer in the amount of four thousand US dollars ($4,000) shall continue to be payable in advance by the 5th day of each month as has been the case since September 2019.

Consultant hereby agrees to timely pay all federal income tax withholdings, self-employment tax, FITA, FUCA, and any other items payable with respect to the compensation received by Consultant from ABI.
