(b)Reservation of Rights: Except for the rights expressly granted in this Section, Supplier reserves all other rights, title, and interest in and to the Products, including all intellectual property rights.

 

3. Payment, Royalties and Sales Minimums.

 

(a)Exclusive License Fee: As part of the consideration for the exclusive license and distribution rights, Distributor agrees to issue to Supplier a total of One Million (1,000,000) shares of restricted common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), of the Distributor.
   
(b)Royalties: Distributor agrees to pay Supplier a royalty equal to ten percent (10%) (the “Royalty Percentage”) of all Net Sales derived by Distributer of Diabetinol® or any byproducts of Diabetinol® for as long as this Agreement is in effect (the “Royalty Payment”). Royalty Payments shall be calculated as of the end of each calendar quarter, and paid by the Distributor to the Supplier by the 15th day after the end of such calendar quarter.
   
  Net Sales” means an amount determined as of the end of any applicable period of determination, equal to the sum of any cash revenues received by the Distributor in connection with the sale of Products for such applicable period of determination, minus the amount of any cost of goods sold (COGS) (including raw materials, production costs and packaging), sales commissions, reasonable allowances for returns, chargebacks and other refunds, freight and logistics expenses, sales taxes or VAT taxes, credits or allowances actually granted for rejections or returns of products, including recalls (not to exceed the original invoiced amount) and any marketing and advertising expenses specifically allocated to Diabetinol® sales during the applicable period, or for any other period during which the royalty has previously been paid, if affected during the current period, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Distributor.

If Distributor is unable to meet the Sales Minimums within Sales Minimum Period, Distributor shall have sixty (60) days to cure and remedy the shortfall.

During the term of this Agreement, and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, each Party agrees to treat all proprietary non-public information pertaining to this Agreement and the relationship created thereunder (collectively, “Confidential Information”), as confidential and will not disclose any Confidential Information, to any third parties without the other Party’s prior written consent, except as authorized hereunder or required by applicable law or regulations, and except to its outside legal, accounting, tax and financial advisors, bona fide potential acquirors and potential investors, and potential and existing lenders, financing sources, sub-licensees, consultants, and contractors, provided that they have been informed of the confidential nature of such information and are bound by confidentiality obligations no less stringent than the obligations contained herein. Confidential Information shall not be deemed Confidential Information to the extent that:

 

a. said information becomes known to third parties not under any obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party, or becomes publicly known through no fault of the receiving party;

 

b. contemporaneously dated written records demonstrate that said information was already in the receiving party’s possession prior to the disclosure of said information to the receiving party, except in cases when the information has been covered by a preexisting confidentiality agreement;

Page 3 of 17

 

 

f. said information is proven by contemporaneously dated written records to have been independently developed by the receiving party without recourse or access to the information.

 

Each Party hereto acknowledges that the obligations undertaken by it pursuant to this Section are unique and that the other party will have no adequate remedy at law if such party shall fail to perform any of its obligations hereunder, and such party therefor confirms the other Party’s right to specific performance of the terms of this Section is essential to protect the rights and interests of the other Party. Accordingly, each Party agrees that, in addition to any other remedies that the other Party may have at law or in equity, the other Party shall have the right to sue in equity to have all obligations of such Party pursuant to this Section specifically performed by such Party, and the other Party shall have the right to seek preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to secure specific performance and to prevent a breach or contemplated breach of this Section by such party. Each Party hereby expressly waives the defense that a remedy in damages will be adequate for a breach by it under this Section. Each Party further agrees that the other Party shall not be required to post a bond as a condition to obtaining or exercising such remedies, and such Party hereby waives any such requirement or condition.

 

6. Warranties and Representations of Supplier. Supplier represents warrants and covenants to Distributor as follows:

f. The execution and delivery by the Supplier of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and shall not, by the lapse of time, the giving of notice or otherwise: (a) constitute a violation of any law; or (b) constitute a breach or violation of any provision contained in the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, or such other document(s) regarding organization and/or management of the Supplier, if applicable; or (c) constitute a breach of any provision contained in, or a default under, any governmental approval, any writ, injunction, order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or any contract to which the Supplier is bound or affected.

j. Securities Representations:

 

(a) Purchase for Own Account. The Shares to be issued to Supplier hereunder will be acquired for investment for Supplier’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the public resale or distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Supplier has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same.

 

(b) Disclosure of Information.

 

(i) Supplier has received or has had full access to all the information Supplier considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to the Shares to be issued to Supplier hereunder. Supplier has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Distributor regarding the Distributor and the Shares, and all such questions, if any, have been satisfactorily answered as of the date of this Agreement.

 

(ii) Supplier acknowledges that it (A) is aware of, has received and had an opportunity to review (x) MGRX’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 20, 2025 (the “Annual Report”); and (y) MGRX’s current reports on Form 8-K from January 1, 2025, to the date of this Agreement (which filings can be accessed by going to https://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/companysearch.html, typing “Mangoceuticals” in the “Name, ticker symbol, or CIK” field, and clicking the “Submit” button), in each case (x) through and (y), including, but not limited to, the audited and unaudited financial statements, description of business, risk factors, results of operations, certain transactions and related business disclosures described therein (collectively the “Disclosure Documents”) and an independent investigation made by it of Distributor; and (B) is not relying on any oral representation of Distributor or any other person, nor any written representation or assurance from Distributor, in connection with Supplier’s acceptance of the Shares and investment decision in connection therewith.

 

(c) Illiquid Securities. Supplier realizes that the Shares cannot readily be sold as they will be restricted securities and therefore the Shares must not be accepted unless such Supplier has liquid assets sufficient to assure that holding such Shares indefinitely will cause no undue financial difficulties and such Supplier can provide for current needs and possible personal contingencies.

 

Page 5 of 17

 

 

(d) Discussions with Advisors. Supplier has carefully considered and has, to the extent it believes such discussion necessary, discussed with its professional, legal, tax and financial advisors, the suitability of an investment in the Shares for its particular tax and financial situation and its advisers, if such advisors were deemed necessary, have determined that the Shares are a suitable investment for it.

 

(e) No General Solicitation. Supplier has not become aware of and has not been offered the Shares by any form of general solicitation or advertising, including, but not limited to, advertisements, articles, notices or other communications published in any newspaper, magazine, or other similar media or television or radio broadcast or any seminar or meeting where, to such Supplier’s knowledge, those individuals that have attended have been invited by any such or similar means of general solicitation or advertising.

 

(f) No Registration Rights. Supplier confirms and acknowledges that Distributor is not under any obligation to register or seek an exemption under any federal and/or state securities acts for any sale or transfer of the Shares, and such Supplier is solely responsible for determining the status, in its hands, of the Shares acquired hereunder and the availability, if required, of exemptions from registration for purposes of sale or transfer of the Shares.

 

(g) Investment Experience. Supplier understands that the acquisition of Shares involves substantial risk. Supplier acknowledges that Supplier can bear the economic risk of Supplier’s investment in the Shares, and has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial or business matters such that Supplier is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment in the Shares and protecting its own interests in connection with this investment. Supplier hereby represents that it is an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

(h) Restricted Shares. Supplier understands that the Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act inasmuch as they are being acquired from Distributor in a transaction not involving a public offering and that, under the Securities Act and applicable regulations thereunder, such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, Supplier represents that Supplier is familiar with Rule 144 as promulgated under the Securities Act and as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by other applicable provisions of the Securities Act.

 

(i) Legend. Supplier acknowledges and understands that the certificates or book-entry statements evidencing the Shares will bear the legend set forth below:

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF CERTAIN STATES. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY MAY BE REQUIRED TO BEAR THE FINANCIAL RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”

Product labeling constitutes any information provided to label, describe, and detail the Product whether it be verbally communicated, written, electronic, printed, and/or video.

 

8. Indemnification. Distributor shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Supplier against any and all liability, loss, damages, injuries, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal expenses, of whatever nature in connection with any claim which might be asserted against Supplier resulting from breach of this Agreement by Distributor, or resulting from any representations and warranties regarding the Products made to any End-Users by Distributor, except for representations which Supplier has neither made to Distributor in writing or authorized Distributor in writing to make to any third party.

 

Page 7 of 17

 

 

Supplier agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Distributor, its officers, directors, employees and shareholders, against:

 

(a) any and all liability, loss, damages, injuries, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal expenses, of whatever nature, in connection with any claim which might be asserted against Distributor resulting from breach of this Agreement by Supplier;

 

(b) any claim that any Patents and Trademarks and/or the Distributor’s or End-Users’ use thereof, infringes on the rights of any other party;

 

(c) any class action which alleges claims based on End-Users’ use of the Products; and

 

(d) any and all liability, loss, damages, injuries, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal expenses, of whatever nature arising out of any third-party claim for personal injury or death where a Product supplied under this Agreement, or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Supplier, is alleged to have caused or contributed to the injury or death to such third party, but only to the extent such loss, damage, injury, cost, or expense is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Supplier.

 

The Parties agree that the indemnification provisions provided in this Section 8 shall survive for a period of 18 months following the termination of this Agreement.

 

Any Party entitled to indemnification under this Section 8 (an “Indemnified Party”) will give written notice to the Party required to indemnify such Indemnified Party (the “Indemnitor”) of any matter giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided that the failure of an Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations under this Section 8 except to the extent that the Indemnitor is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action, proceeding or claim is brought against an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnitor a conflict of interest between it and the Indemnified Party exists with respect to such action, proceeding or claim, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnitor advises an Indemnified Party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the Indemnified Party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the Indemnitor elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with the Indemnitor in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the Indemnitor and shall furnish to the Indemnitor all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party which relates to such action or claim. The Indemnitor shall keep the Indemnified Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the Indemnitor elects to defend any such action or claim, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense. The Indemnitor shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8 to the contrary, the Indemnitor shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the Indemnified Party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim. The indemnification obligations to defend the Indemnified Party required by this Section 8 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, so long as the Indemnified Party shall refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Party was not entitled to indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the Indemnified Party against the Indemnitor or others, and (b) any liabilities the Indemnitor may be subject to pursuant to the law.

Additionally, Supplier agrees to provide promotional and marketing support to Distributor in support of international sales, to include, but not be limited to, providing promotional videos and keynote speakers by physician and executive influencers, at no cost to Distributor.

 

10. Insurance. At all times during the term of the Agreement, each Party agrees to procure and maintain commercial general liability insurance, including products and contractual liability coverage, in such amounts as is normal and customary in the Market for Parties similarly situated. The Parties shall, upon written request, furnish a certificate of insurance evidencing the foregoing coverage and limits, stating that the insurer shall give the other Party thirty (30) days prior written notice of any cancellation or non-renewal in coverage. The obligations of this Section 10 shall survive for a period of 18 months following the termination of this Agreement.

 

11. Limitation of Liability. NEITHER PARTY NOR ITS AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS AND LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, EVEN IF SUCH PARTIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

 

12. Waiver and Delay. No waiver by either Party of any breach or series of breaches or defaults in performance by the other Party, and no failure, refusal, or neglect of either Party to exercise any right, power, or option given to it hereunder or to insist upon strict compliance with or performance of either Party’s obligations under this Agreement, shall constitute a waiver of the provisions of this Agreement with respect to any subsequent breach thereof or a waiver by either Party of its right at any time thereafter to require exact and strict compliance with the provisions thereof.

 

13. Intellectual Property Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as giving the Distributor any license or right in trademarks, patents, designs, copyrights, or other intellectual property belonging to the Supplier, except in connection with the distribution of the Products.

 

14. Non-Solicitation Provision: Customers and Business Affiliations. During the Term of this Agreement, and for a period of two (2) years after termination of this Agreement, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, Supplier shall not solicit or call upon any End-Users or potential End-Users of Distributor for the purpose of brokering, soliciting, selling, or responding to any request for proposal or request for quote for any Products, other products, or services to that End-Users or prospective End- Users of Distributor within any and all territories in which Distributor regularly markets, solicits, sells, and provides products and services, or within any and all territories which Supplier has actual or constructive knowledge that Distributor intends to solicit, market, sell, or distribute its products and services.

15. Termination. Either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately if the other Party has in any way materially breached this Agreement and failed to cure such breach within ninety (90) days of written notice thereof or becomes insolvent, provided that such Agreement must be terminated within thirty (30) days of such Party’s failure to cure such breach (if not cured within such 90 day period) or insolvency. In the event of a material breach, in addition to the rights provided herein, each Party may take whatever additional actions as are available to such Party at law or in equity, and in connection with such actions, recover any and all damages to such Party for the non-breaching Party’s violation or breach of this Agreement, in accordance with applicable law. Upon termination in accordance with this Agreement by Supplier, Distributor agrees that Supplier will not be liable to Distributor for any compensation, damages, or other claims of any nature arising out of a termination, including, without limitation, claims based on expenditures or investments made by Distributor or goodwill created by Distributor. Upon termination, Distributor shall cease using the Diabetinol® formulation and branding within six (6) months, subject to a sell-off period.

 

16. Miscellaneous.

 

a.The Parties shall perform all of their duties under this Agreement as independent contractors. Except as specifically set forth herein, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give either Party the power to direct or control the daily activities of the other Party, or to constitute the Parties as principal and agent, employer and employee, franchiser and franchisee, partners, joint ventures, co-owners, or otherwise as participants in a joint undertaking. The Parties understand and agree that, except as specifically provided in this Agreement, neither Party grants the other Party the authority to make or give any agreement, statement, representation, warranty, or other commitment on behalf of the other Party, or to enter into any contract or otherwise incur any liability or obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other Party, or to transfer, release, or waive any right, title, or interest of such other Party. The employees of each Party shall not be considered employees of the other and shall not be eligible for any benefits given by the other to its employees.
   
b.Distributor agrees if the Agreement is ultimately determined to be one to which §1861(v)(1)(I) of the Social Security Act (the “Act”) as amended applies, to provide access to books and records and perform such other obligations as may be specified for subcontractors in that section of the Act or in any regulations promulgated thereunder.
   
c.Each Party agrees that:
   
  If any Party is prevented from or interfered with in any material manner in fully performing its duties under this Agreement due to law, act of God, labor controversy or any other similar or dissimilar cause beyond the reasonable control of the Party claiming inability to perform (each a “Force Majeure”), then that Party’s obligations will be suspended as often as any Force Majeure event occurs and during the periods of time that those events exist. Any non- performance due to Force Majeure is not a breach of this Agreement. In order to benefit from the provisions of this Section, the Party claiming Force Majeure must notify the other reasonably promptly in writing of the Force Majeure condition. If any event of Force Majeure, in the reasonable judgment of the parties, is of a severity or duration such that it materially reduces the value of this Agreement, then this Agreement may be terminated by either party, without liability or further obligation of either Party (except for any obligation expressly intended to survive the terms of this Agreement).
