WHEREAS, subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Parties have agreed to release one another from any and all claims and have agreed to pay any and all previous obligations or responsibilities to one another,

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained, the Parties hereby agree as follows: 

1. Consideration.

(a) On the Closing Date, subject to the payments by GGI to Investview under Section 1(b) of this Agreement, Investview shall sell, convey and transfer to GGI, and GGI shall redeem and cancel on the books and records of GGI, all of the GGI Shares.

(b) On the Closing Date, GGI will make a payment to Investview in the amount of One Million One Hundred Forty Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,147,500). The payment will be made by wire transfer to Investview pursuant to instructions provided by Investview. This payment shall be made in full and shall not be offset or reduced in any way by any claims or liabilities of GGI in connection with the Gate Agreement or any other matter.

(c) Within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date, (i) GGI will pay the outstanding liabilities of GGI as originally set forth under Schedule 1.3 of the Gate Agreement, specifically $75,000 owed by GGI to Prudential Insurance of America and $25,000 owed to TransferOnline (and, if any of such liabilities are not able to be paid within such 30-day period, then GGI shall deposit such funds necessary to pay any liabilities outstanding as of such date in an escrow account established solely for the purpose of settling such liabilities) and (ii) Investview will issue and deliver certificates representing the shares of common stock of Investview in the amounts and to the parties set forth under Schedule A hereto.

(d) Investview will retain, and GGI shall not claim, the $10,637.60 of revenue received by GGI as custodian into Investview’s account, less $2,500.00 the amount equal to 10% of the transaction that derived $25,000.00 in Gross revenue, whereas GGI Inc. will deliver funds to the trustee account per the Gate Agreement. This amount has been reduced from Item 1.(b) and no additional payment is needed by Investview.

(e) During the period commencing on the Closing Date through the five (5) year anniversary of the Closing Date, Investview shall receive 5% of the Adjusted Gross Revenue (as defined below) of GGI, solely in respect of GGI’s social impact investment activity as currently conducted as of the Effective Date (the “Royalty”). The Royalty shall be paid within five (5) business days after the end of every quarter. GGI shall establish and maintain a reasonable accounting system that enables Investview to readily identify GGI’s revenue and costs of goods or services. Upon Investview’s written request, Investview and GGI shall mutually select an independent public accounting firm (not associated with or providing services to either Party) to perform at Interview’s request and sole expense, a maximum of one (1) time per calendar year, an examination of all financial and related records of GGI’s social impact investment activity (in whatever form they may be kept, whether written, electronic, or other) of GGI for the purposes of determining the accuracy of the Royalty. Such examination will be done during normal working hours and will commence within five (5) business days upon Investview providing written notice to GGI of such examination. “Adjusted Gross Revenue” is defined as gross revenues received by GGI less (i) payments to Gate Global pursuant to the Gate Agreement and (ii) cost of goods sold directly incurred by GGI, which includes direct labor costs to create the product or service but excludes indirect expenses including, but not limited to, distribution costs, sales force costs, employee and executive salaries, travel and entertainment. The Royalty shall not exceed, and is capped at, $2,500,000 in the aggregate, and Investview acknowledges that they shall have no right to any portion of any revenue related to GGI’s non-social impact investing activity, or any derivative or other activity related to GGI’s social impact investment activity developed after the Effective Date.

1

(f) During the period commencing on the Closing Date through the five (5) year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Period”), with respect to GGI’s social impact investment activity, in the event GGI (i) disposes of all or a portion of its assets in an arm’s length transaction with a bona fide third party, (ii) enters into a merger agreement in an arm’s length transaction with a bona fide third party or (iii) enters any other arm’s length transaction with a bona fide third party which results in GGI disposing of all or a portion of its social impact business line (which, for the purposes of clarity, shall not include bona fide fundraising offerings), then Investview shall receive a one-time cash payment equal to 5% of the Net Sales Price (as defined below) received by GGI in such transaction, which shall be paid to Investview at the closing of such transaction. Such payment to Investview shall not exceed, and is capped at, $2,500,000. “Net Sales Price” is defined as gross sales price less (a) the assumption of bona fide corporate debt by the purchaser or (b) the repayment of bona fide corporate debt by GGI or the making of loans to affiliates, either of which is incurred or made, as applicable, for valid corporate purposes, but excluding debt incurred for the purposes of paying executive salaries or bonuses, or making loans to affiliates not for a valid corporate purpose. Investview acknowledges that they shall have no right to any portion of the proceeds of any transaction related to GGI’s social impact investing activity after the first transaction of the kind described above in this Section 5(f).

2. Release of Claims. Subject to the payments set forth under Section 1(b) being made to Investview and the redemption and cancellation of the GGI Shares pursuant to Section 1(a), and except for claims that may arise under this Agreement, each Party on their own behalf, and on behalf of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, investors, shareholders, administrators, affiliates, divisions, subsidiaries, predecessor and successor corporations, and assigns, hereby fully and forever release, waive, and forever discharge the other Party, from any claim, duty, complaint, charge, obligation, or cause of action relating to any matters of any kind, whether presently known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, that either Party may possess arising from any acts, omissions, representations, or facts that have occurred up until and including the Closing Date, including without limitation:
