Exhibit 2.2
AMENDMENT TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This AMENDMENT TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PURCHASE AGREEMENT ( this “Agreement”) is executed effective as of this 18th day of May, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), between Monaker Group, Inc. (“Monaker”), on the one hand, and IDS, Inc. a/k/a IDS International Inc. a/k/a Internet Distribution Systems a/k/a International Distribution Systems (“IDS”), TD Asset Holdings, LLC (“TD Asset”), and Ari Daniels (“Daniels”) (collectively, the “IDS Parties”) on the other hand, in connection with that certain Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement by and between Monaker, as buyer, and IDS Inc., as seller, dated as of August 15, 2019 (the “IPPA”). Monaker, IDS, TD Asset, and Daniels shall be collectively referred to as the “Parties” and individually referred to as a “Party.”
RECITALS
A. On or about August 15, 2019, the Parties entered into the IPPA. As provided under § 2.4(e) of the Agreement, Monaker entered into an Asset Management Services Agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with TD Asset, which is owned and/or under the control of Daniels.
B. The Parties wish to amend the IPPA.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the respective representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, and conditions hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
1. | PAYMENT TERMS |
1.1 Monaker agrees to make a payment to IDS in the amount of $2,850,000.00 (the “Payment”). The Payment shall consist of (i) an initial payment in the amount of $500,000.00 (the “Initial Payment”), and (ii) twelve-monthly installment payments, consisting of 11 monthly payments in the amount of $195,833.33 and a final (12th) monthly payment in the amount of $195,833.37 (the “Monthly Payments”, and each a “Monthly Payment”) totaling an aggregate amount of $2,350,000.00. The Initial Payment shall be paid by Monaker to IDS within 7 business days of the Execution Date, with the Monthly Payments commencing 30 days after the payment of the Initial Payment. Monaker may prepay any remaining Payment amount at any time and without penalty. The amount of the Payment is not contingent, related to, or in any way calculated based on the current or future share price for the common stock of Monaker Group, Inc.
1.2 At Monaker’s option, any portion of the Payment may be paid to IDS by a party separate from Monaker (either a related party of Monaker or a third-party) (a “Paying Party”), for the benefit of Monaker, which shall be treated for all purposes as a payment by Monaker hereunder. As consideration for such Paying Party making such payment on behalf of Monaker, IDS agrees to transfer the Paying Party a number of Monaker Shares (as defined below), equal to the amount of the cash payment(s) made by a Paying Party, pursuant to the schedule set forth below in Section 1.5 (as applicable, the “Transferred Shares”). Such obligation shall include IDS using its good faith efforts to facilitate the transfer of the Transferred Shares, and shall also include the requirement that IDS enter into a customary stock purchase agreement with the Paying Party to allow the Paying Party to acquire such Transferred Shares, with customary representations and warranties regarding ownership of, and title to, the Transferred Shares, being made by IDS, and taking such further actions as may be requested by Monaker’s transfer agent to affect the transfer of such Transferred Shares, including providing a blank stock power with medallion signature guaranty, for each tranche of Transferred Shares.

1.3 The Payment, or any installment thereof, shall be made payable to Brownstone Law Group, PC., Iolta Trust Account. and delivered to Thomas A. Moore, counsel for the IDS Parties. Thomas A. Moore shall provide wire instructions upon execution of this Agreement.
1.4 In the event Monaker fails to make any payment timely, IDS shall provide Monaker with written notice of default. In the event Monaker does not cure said default within 7 business days of receipt of the written notice of default, Monaker shall be deemed in default and IDS shall be entitled to entry of a default judgment against Monaker in the amount of the differential, if any, between the realized value of the Monaker Shares upon sale in the open market by IDS and the unpaid amount of the Payment. For example, if Monaker defaults on the 11th monthly payment, leaving 270,600 shares for IDS to sell on the open market, which given price fluctuations that could occur from a block of stock being sold on the open market, sells for a total of 200,000 dollars, then IDS would be entitled to a money judgment in the amount of $191,666.70, calculated as follows: 2,850,000 (Payment) - 2,458,333.30 (amount already paid) - 200,000 value of stock sold) = 191,666.70. In the event of any such default, IDS will be entitled to attorneys’ fees incurred to obtain said judgment.
1.5 IDS agrees to convey, transfer, and assign all shares free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and claims whatsoever held in Monaker Group, Inc. (the “Monaker Shares”), specifically the 1,968,000 shares acquired pursuant to the IPPA, to Monaker, or its designee or assignee (pursuant to Section 1.2 or otherwise), in proportion to and at the time payment is received by IDS of any portion of the Payment. For example:
Payment | Monaker Shares |
Initial Payment ($500,000.00) | 344,400 |
1st Monthly Payment ($195,833.33) | 135,300 |
2nd Monthly Payment ($195,833.33) | 135,300 |
3rd Monthly Payment ($195,833.33) | 135,300 |
4th Monthly Payment ($195,833.33) | 135,300 |
5th Monthly Payment ($195,833.33) | 135,300 |
6th Monthly Payment ($195,833.33) | 135,300 |
7th Monthly Payment ($195,833.33) | 135,300 |
8th Monthly Payment ($195,833.33) | 135,300 |
9th Monthly Payment ($195,833.33) | 135,300 |
10th Monthly Payment ($195,833.33) | 135,300 |
11th Monthly Payment ($195,833.33) | 135,300 |
12th Monthly Payment ($195,833.37) | 135,300 |

1.6 In the event that subsequent to the date of this Agreement any shares of capital stock or other securities of Monaker are issued on, or in exchange for, any of the Monaker Shares by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, exchange, merger or consolidation or otherwise involving Monaker, such shares of capital stock or other securities shall be deemed to be Monaker Shares for purposes of this Agreement. In the event of any such stock split, or dividend paid on the Monaker Shares, IDS will be entitled to the value of the stock split and/or dividend on all Monaker Shares yet to be acquired by Monaker pursuant to this Agreement. In the event of a consolidation of shares, reclassification, exchange, merger or consolidation otherwise involving Monaker, the number of Monaker Shares conveyed, transferred, or assigned by IDS to Monaker, or its designee or assignee, shall be adjusted proportionally. Under no circumstances will the value of the Payment, or the remaining Initial Payment, or Monthly Payments identified hereinabove in Section 1.5 be reduced by any consolidation of shares, reclassification, exchange, merger or consolidation involving Monaker which in any way affects the value of the Monaker Shares.
1.7 During the term of this Agreement, IDS shall be subject to the covenants and restrictions set forth in Section 3 with respect to the Monaker Shares. Monaker and IDS further agree to execute the Shareholder Voting Representative Agreement with respect to the Monaker Shares in the form of the agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
2. | NEXTTRIP VIDEOS |
Within 7 business days of the Effective Date, IDS shall deliver to Monaker the 800 unbranded travel videos referenced in Schedule 1 to the Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement by and between Monaker, as buyer, and IDS Inc., as seller, dated as of August 15, 2019. Upon executing this Agreement, IDS shall provide Monaker and its counsel with electronic access to the 800 videos. Access may be in the form of Dropbox, Google Drive, or other electronic media. Monaker shall have up to 3 business days to confirm receipt and acceptance of videos and send electronic confirmation of its acceptance to IDS’s counsel. Once Monaker has confirmed access, IDS shall grant Monaker authorization to download or transfer all videos to a Monaker secure online mailbox of its choosing. The IDS Parties represent and warrant that they possess a non- exclusive fully transferable fully paid up perpetual royalty free license to each video that by this Agreement they intend to transfer to Monaker and have the authority to transfer such licenses to Monaker. IDS will execute any additional agreements necessary to accomplish said transfer within seven days of the Effective Date.
Monaker may withhold all payments pursuant to this Agreement until the IDS Parties provide the required videos pursuant to this Section.

Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include, without limitation, any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to any of the Monaker Shares or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from the Monaker Shares.
