2.      Fairness Hearing. Upon the execution hereof, Company and TARPON agree, pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. 77a, et seq. (as amended) (the “Securities Act”), and any applicable section of the General Statutes of Florida, to promptly submit this Agreement to the Court for a hearing on the fairness of such terms and conditions herein set forth, including, without limitation, the issuance, exempt from registration, of the Settlement Shares. This Agreement shall become binding upon the parties only upon entry of an order by the Court approving this Agreement and the terms and conditions herein set forth (the “Order”).

3.      Settlement Shares. a. Following entry of an Order by the Court in accordance with Paragraph 2 hereof and upon the delivery, by TARPON and the Company, of the Stipulation of Dismissal (as defined below), the Company shall issue and deliver to TARPON shares of its Common Stock (the “Settlement Shares”) in one or more tranches, as necessary, sufficient to generate proceeds such that the aggregate Remittance Amount equals the Claim Amount, subject to the adjustment and ownership limitations set forth below. In addition, upon entry of the Order, the Company shall issue to TARPON shares of Common Stock with a value equal to Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) (the “Fee Shares”). The Fee Shares shall be issued pursuant to exemption provided for in Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act and shall be priced at seventy five percent (75%) of the average of the closing bid prices for the Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date of the Order.

b.      No later than the fifth Trading Day following the date that the Court enters the Order, time being of the essence, the Company shall: (i) cause its legal counsel to issue an opinion to the Company’s transfer agent, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to TARPON and such transfer agent, that the shares of Common Stock to be issued as the initial issuance and any additional issuance 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 TARPON without restriction; and, (ii) issue the Fee Shares and the Settlement Shares, in tranches as necessary, by physical delivery, or as Direct Registration Systems (DRS) shares to TARPON’s account with The Depository Trust Company (DTC) or through the Fast Automated Securities Transfer (FAST) Program of DTC’s Deposit/Withdrawal Agent Commission (DWAC) system, without any legends or restriction on transfer. The date upon which the first tranche of the Settlement Shares are deposited into TARPON’s account and are available for sale by TARPON shall be referred to as the “Issuance Date."

c.      The Company shall deliver to TARPON, through the initial tranche and any required additional tranches, that number of Settlement Shares, the proceeds from the sale of which shall generate an aggregate Remittance Amount equal to the Claim Amount. Following the sale and settlement of each tranche of Settlement Shares issued by the Company to TARPON, TARPON shall cause to be disbursed the Remittance Amount associated with such tranche to Sellers in accordance with the Claim Purchase Agreements. To the extent that the Company issues Settlement Shares in excess of that necessary to satisfy the Claim Amount, TARPON shall return any excess Settlement Shares to the Company for retirement to treasury stock. The parties reasonably estimate that the fair market value of the Settlement Shares and the Fee Shares to be received by TARPON will be in an aggregate approximate amount of $1,033,000.00. 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.     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Settlement Shares beneficially owned by TARPON at any given time shall not exceed the number of such shares that, when aggregated with all other shares of the Company's Common Stock then beneficially owned by TARPON, or deemed beneficially owned by TARPON, would result in TARPON's owning more than 9.99% of all of such Common Stock as would then be outstanding, as determined in accordance with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. § 78a, et seq. (as amended) (the "Securities 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.

4.      Necessary Action. 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.

5.      Releases. Upon receipt of all of the Settlement Shares required to be delivered by the Company to TARPON in consideration of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and excluding the obligations, representations and covenants arising or made hereunder or a breach hereof, the parties hereby release, acquit and forever discharge the other and each, every and all of their current and past officers, directors, shareholders, affiliated corporations, subsidiaries, agents, employees, representatives, attorneys, predecessors, successors and assigns (the “Released Parties”), of and from any and all claims, damages, cause of action, suits and costs, of whatever nature, character or description, whether known or unknown, anticipated or unanticipated, which the parties may now have or may hereafter have or claim to have against each other with respect to the Claims.
