THIS SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT and STIPULATION dated as of June, 2014 by and between Frontier Beverage Company, Inc. ("Frontier" or the "Company"), a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Nevada, and IBC Funds, LLC ("IBC"), a Nevada Limited Liability Company.

"PRINCIPAL MARKET" shall mean the Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, QB marketplace, the American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange, whichever is at the time the principal trading exchange or market for the Common Stock.

 

"PURCHASE PRICE" shall mean the Market Price during the Valuation Period (or such other date on which the Purchase Price is calculated in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement) less the product of the Discount and the Market Price.

a.    In settlement of the Claims, Company shall initially issue and deliver to IBC, 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").

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 IBC and such transfer agent, that the shares of Common Stock to be issued as the Initial Issuance and Additional Issuance (as defined below) 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 IBC without restriction; (ii) transmit via email, facsimile and overnight delivery an irrevocable and unconditional instruction to Company's stock transfer agent; and (iii) within three (3) days thereof, issue and deliver to IBC Settlement Shares in one or more tranches as necessary, without any legends or restrictions on transfer, sufficient to satisfy the compromised amount, through the issuance of freely trading securities issued pursuant to Section 3(a)10 of the Securities Act. Pursuant to this agreement, IBC Funds, LLC may deliver a request to Frontier which states the dollar amount (designated in U.S. dollars) of Common Stock to be

issued to IBC Funds, LLC (the "Share Request"). The date upon which the first tranche of the Initial Issuance shares have been received into IBC's account and are available for sale by IBC shall be referred to as the "Issuance Date". In the event that Company is delinquent on issuance of shares of stock to IBC 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 have been received by IBC 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 IBC, 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 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 IBC 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, IBC 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 beneficially owned by IBC 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 IBC, or deemed beneficially owned by IBC, would result in IBC 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.

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.
