Whereas, pursuant to a loan advanced by Lender to Borrower on March 1, 2016 in the amount of One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) (the “Loan”), Borrower is indebted to Lender;
Whereas, the Parties have agreed that Borrower will issue shares of its Class B Common Stock to Lender in full satisfaction of all indebtedness under the Loan, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Now, therefore, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Lender and Borrower hereby agree as follows:

To the extent such Offsets exist, they are fully, forever and irrevocably waived and released by Borrower pursuant to Section 7 hereof.
2. Payment by Borrower. Borrower shall pay Lender the total sum of One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) (the “Settlement Payment”) as provided herein. The Settlement Payment shall be paid by Borrower’s issuance to Lender of ten thousand (10,000) shares of fully paid and non-assessable Class B Common Stock of Borrower at a deemed price of ten dollars ($10.00) per share (the “Stock”), not later than five (5) business days after Borrower receives an executed copy of this Agreement from Lender (the “Settlement Payment Date”). On or before the Settlement Payment Date, Borrower shall provide a fully executed copy of this Agreement to Lender and Borrower shall (a) issue the Stock, (b) prepare and issue a stock certificate representing Lender’s beneficial ownership of the Stock, and deliver such stock certificate to Lender, and (c) take such actions as are necessary to reflect Lender’s ownership of the Stock on Borrower’s books and records. From and after the Settlement Payment Date, Lender shall have all rights and privileges of beneficial owners of Borrower’s Class B Common Stock as set forth in Borrower’s (x) Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation dated February 26, 2015, as the same may be amended from time to time, and (y) Amended and Restated Bylaws dated February 26, 2015, as the same may be amended from time to time.
3. Satisfaction of the Loan. Lender acknowledges and agrees that the Settlement Payment has substantial value that is equal or greater than the Remaining Indebtedness, and that Lender is receiving full and adequate consideration for the full satisfaction of the Loan. By execution of this Agreement, Lender agrees to accept the Settlement Payment in full satisfaction of the Loan. Lender agrees that (a) from and after the Settlement Payment Date, no interest on the Remaining Indebtedness shall accrue and the Loan shall be paid in full by the Borrower, and (b) on or before the Settlement Payment Date, Lender shall (i) take whatever actions are necessary to ensure that the Loan is reflected on Lender’s books and records as satisfied in its entirety as to all borrowers named therein, including but not limited to the Borrower, with prejudice and without costs or fees, and (ii) return the original [Loan Agreement/Promissory Note] to Borrower.
4. Taxes. Each Party shall be solely responsible for, and is legally bound to make payment of, any taxes determined to be due and owing (including penalties and interest related thereto) by it to any federal, state, local or regional taxing authority as a result of the Settlement Payment.

This Agreement resolves any Claim or cause of action for relief that is, or could have been alleged, no matter how characterized, including, without limitation, compensatory damages, damages for breach of contract, bad faith damages, reliance damages, liquidated damages, costs and attorneys’ fees related to or arising from the Loan.

Lender, for itself and for its Affiliates, hereby waives and relinquishes all the rights and benefits to that it may have with respect to the Claims released herein and Section 1542 of the California Civil Code and any similar provision of law, rule or decision.
