RECITALS:

Whereas, in writing dated February 12, 2019, CGI and New Horizons entered into a written consulting agreement (hereafter referred to as the “Consulting Agreement”), a copy of which is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit 1 and incorporated fully herein by reference.

WHEREAS, as consideration for retaining New Horizons’ services under the Consulting Agreement, CGI issued New Horizons the promissory note, (the “Compensation Note”), attached to this Agreement as Exhibit 2 and incorporated fully herein by reference.

WHEREAS, CGI and New Horizons met and conferred regarding the terms and conditions of the Consulting Agreement and consideration payable pursuant thereto, including the terms and conditions of the Compensation Note.

WHEREAS, CGI and New Horizons deem it to be in their mutual best interest to amend and modify the Consulting Agreement pursuant to Section 9.5 thereof, including the Effective Date and the consideration payable under the Consulting Agreement; and,

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration for the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, CGI and New Horizons hereto agree as follows:

1.1.            CGI and New Horizons acknowledge that all of the representations set forth in the RECITALS clauses of this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a material part of this Agreement with the same force and effect as if more fully set forth here at. CGI and NEW HORIZONS agree to waive any rule of contract construction or legal presumption that would prohibit any court of competent jurisdiction from construing or enforcing this Agreement based upon the contents of the RECITALS above.

2.1.             Correction of Effective Date. The Parties amend the Effective Date to correct a scrivener’s error. Affiliates acquired control over the Company on June 19, 2019. CGI was thus operational as of June 19, 2019, and the Effective Date of the Consulting Agreement is amended to delete February 12, 2019, and replace it with June 19, 2019.

2.2.             Confirmation of Section 3.1 Cash Compensation. The Parties acknowledge and confirm the contents of Section 3.1 of the Consulting Agreement, requiring CGI to pay monthly cash payments due New Horizons in the amount of six thousand dollars ($6,000.00), and an additional monthly deferred cash payment of four thousand dollars ($4,000.00), equaling a total compensation of ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) per month. The Parties also agree to amicably meet and confer regarding resolution of the deferred monthly compensation upon the end of the term.

2.3.             Cancellation of Compensation Note. The Parties agree to modify the Consulting Agreement pursuant to Section 9.5 thereof, and further agree to delete Section 3.2 of the Consulting Agreement and cancel the Compensation Note in Exhibit 2 with prejudice.

2.4.             Other Parts of Consulting Agreement Unaffected. Except as otherwise amended above, the Parties confirm the ongoing parts of the Consulting Agreement as being in full force and effect.

3.1.             Notices. All notices, offers of other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be considered as properly given or made (i) if delivered personally; or (ii) upon receipt by facsimile transmission (with written confirmation of receipt) or confirmed electronic mail; or (iii) after the expiration of the second business day following deposit with documented overnight delivery service; or (iv) five business days of transmission by regular mail.

3.2.             Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed and enforced to the extent possible or modified in such a way as to make it enforceable, and the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability thereof shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

3.3.             Binding on Affiliated Third Parties.

The prevailing party in any such action shall recover all attorney fees and costs.

3.5.             Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, all of which shall be deemed originals, and with the same effect as if all Parties had signed the same document. All of such counterparts shall be construed together with and shall constitute one Agreement, but in making proof, it shall only be necessary to produce one such counterpart. A facsimile transmission shall be as valid and enforceable as an original.

3.6.             Entire Understanding. This Agreement is the entire, final, and complete agreement of the Parties relating to the subject of this Agreement, and supersedes and replaces all prior or existing written and oral agreements between the Parties or their representatives relating thereto.

The foregoing warranties and representations shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

3.10.         Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each party hereto or to such party's heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

3.11.         Confidentiality. Each of the parties represents and agrees that it will keep the terms, provisions and amounts in this Agreement confidential and that it will not, without the consent of the other Party, disclose, divulge or furnish such confidential information to any person other than their immediate families, their attorney and accountant (all of whom will be informed of and bound by this confidentiality provision) except as required by law or, if necessary, to any applicable taxing authorities.
