Even though the ownership of the 51% of the Membership Interest (Capital Stock) of The Company has not been transferred to Buyer, there is a firm commitment to do so within the terms of this contract. In the same

way, from this moment, it will not be possible to sell, alienate, indebt, distribute dividends of SMARTBIZ TELECOM LLC (The Company), shares, assets or bank accounts, without the express authorization of Buyer. Seller is committed to maintaining The Company in full and complete operability.

The Purchase Agreement is irrevocable between the parties, except by a condition later specified.

The Seller and the Buyer have agreed that:

2.2.   The total purchase price of the 51% of the Membership Interest (Capital Stock) of The Company is ONE MILLION DOLLARS (US$ 1,000,000.00) ("The Company Purchase Price") in IQST common stocks. Seller will determine under his convenience to value the IQST common stock at the moment of the signature of the MOU, at an average value of the last 5 days of the signature, and with a 10% discount; or to value the IQST common stock at the moment of the issue of the stocks, at an average value of the last 5 days of its issue, and with a 10% discount.

2.3.   The common stocks shall be issued within 30 days after the signature of the MOU, or when Seller indicated it, in favor of the shareholders of SMARTBIZ TELECOM, LLC.

2.4.    Once the common stock are issued, they will be in the Escrow Account of a lawyer selected by Buyer. These stocks will be released when the 51% of the Membership Interest (Capital Stock) of the Company is transferred to Buyer, but not before January 1st, 2022.

2.5.    True-Up Shares. The payment in IQST common stock will be restricted when issued and will have a holding period of 180 days after the common stock is issued under rule 144.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this true up provision only exists for one year from issuance, such that if Buyer sells the shares later than one year from issuance, the requirement to true up Seller to $1,000,000 shall be of no force and effect.

3.1.    Prior to the signing of the final Purchase Agreement, the Buyer will enter into an Agreement with the Management to guarantee the operational continuity of the Company over the next years.

3.2.   In case the Buyer can't reach an Agreement with the Management to guarantee the operational continuity of the Company, either of the parties may terminate the Acquisition process, since operational continuity will not be guarantee.

3.3.    It is of most importance to iQSTEL that the operational continuity to be guaranteed, hence the parties consider that once the 51% of the Membership Interest (Capital Stock) of the Company is acquired by Buyer, synergies can be obtained, that would make SMARTBIZ TELECOM LLC generate higher net Income after the acquisition.
