15. • The Paymaster shall disburse the Monthly Return as follows: Per our agreement within the MOU, and
bank contracts “VI SA” is receiving. Historically the strength will determine the Loan to Value which
becomes the trade value. Based upon the trade value we will provide 8,5% per month return of Face
Value (Face Value = 1B). The trade groups usually reference a commitment of 100% or more of face
value annually, and keep in mind that all contract arrangements have strengths and weaknesses.

value of the instrument and disburse that value to “DKFT”, over the course of the year, or 10 (ten)

the various legal registrations and the finalization of the instrument's declarations in the event of a partial resale

suspended and revoked. Note: The Upfront Fees paid by the Client for the issuance of the SBLC will be fully
deducted from the total amount payable for the acquisition thereof. The Client will therefore pay: (48% + 2%)

e. Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and do not affect
the interpretation of this Agreement.
f. Entire Agreement. This Agreement together with the Exhibits hereto, constitutes
the sole and entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement
and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and
warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. Upon the effectiveness of
this Agreement, the License Agreements shall be deemed amended and restated in their entirety
by this Agreement, and shall be of no further force or effect.
g. Assignment. No Party shall assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights, or
delegate or otherwise transfer any of its obligations or performance under this Agreement, in
each case whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law, or otherwise, without the other
Parties' prior written consent, which consent shall not unreasonably be delayed or withheld. No
assignment, delegation, or transfer will relieve a Party of any of its obligations or performance
under this Agreement. This Agreement is binding on and inures to the benefit of the Parties
hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
h. Force Majeure.
i. No Breach or Default. In no event will a Party be liable or responsible to
another Party or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this
Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of
this Agreement, when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by
any circumstances beyond the Party's reasonable control (a "Force
Majeure Event"), including acts of God, pandemic, flood, fire,
earthquake or explosion, war, terrorism, invasion, riot or other civil unrest,
embargoes or blockades in effect on or after the Effective Date, national or
regional emergency, strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other
industrial disturbances, passage of Law or any action taken by a
governmental or public authority, including imposing an export or import
restriction, quota, or other restriction or prohibition or any complete or
partial government shutdown, or national or regional shortage of adequate
power or telecommunications or transportation. Any Party may terminate
this Agreement if a Force Majeure Event continues substantially
uninterrupted for a period of 30 days or more.
ii. Affected Party Obligations. In the event of any failure or delay caused by
a Force Majeure Event, a Party will give prompt written notice to the other
Parties stating the period of time the occurrence is expected to continue
and use commercially reasonable efforts to end the failure or delay and
minimize the effects of such Force Majeure Event.
i. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties
hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or
implied, is intended to or will confer on any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit, or
remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

j. Amendment and Modification; Waiver. No amendment to or modification of or
rescission, termination, or discharge of this Agreement is effective unless it is in writing and
signed by an authorized representative of each Party. No waiver by any Party of any of the
provisions hereof is effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the Party so
waiving. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no failure to exercise, or delay in
exercising, any rights, remedy, power, or privilege arising from this Agreement will operate or
be construed as a waiver thereof; nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy,
power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.
k. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect
any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or
provision in any other jurisdiction. On such determination that any term or other provision is
invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this
Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually
acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as
originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
l. Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance
with the internal laws of Ontario Canada without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law
provision or rule that would require or permit the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other
than those of Ontario Canada.
m. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right
it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
n. Eguitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened
breach by the other Party of any of its obligations under Section 8 of this Agreement would
cause Disclosing Party irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate
remedy and that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, Disclosing Party will be
entitled to equitable relief, including in a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance,
and any other relief that may be available from any court of competent jurisdiction, without any
requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary
damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all
other remedies that may be available at law, in equity, or otherwise.
o. Attorneys' Fees. In the event that any action, suit, or other legal or administrative
proceeding is instituted or commenced by a Party against another Party arising out of or related
to this Agreement, the prevailing Party is entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and
court costs from the non-prevailing Party.
p. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which is
deemed an original, but all of which together are deemed to be one and the same agreement. A
signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, email, or other means of electronic

transmission is deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of
this Agreement.
q. Arbitration.
1. In consideration of the promises in this Agreement, the Parties agree that
any and all controversies, claims, or disputes arising out of, relating to, or
resulting from this Agreement, shall be subject to binding arbitration
under the arbitration rules (the "rules") of, and pursuant to the state law
of, Ontario Canada, including the Ontario Canada code of civil procedure.
The Federal Arbitration Act shall continue to apply with full force and
effect notwithstanding the application of procedural rules set forth in the
Ontario Canada code of civil procedure. Disputes which the Parties agree
to arbitrate, and thereby agree to waive any right to a trial by jury, include
any statutory claims under state or federal law.
11. The Parties agree that any arbitration will be administered by JAMS
("JAMS") and that the neutral arbitrator will be selected in a manner
consistent with its national rules for the resolution of contract disputes.
The Parties agree that the arbitrator shall have the power to decide any
motions brought by any party to the arbitration, including motions for
summary judgment and/or adjudication and motions to dismiss and
demurrers, prior to any arbitration hearing. The Parties also agree that the
arbitrator shall have the power to award any remedies, including
attorneys' fees and costs, available under applicable law. The Parties
understand that they shall share equally any administrative or hearing fees
charged by the arbitrator or JAMS. The Parties agree that the arbitrator
shall administer and conduct any arbitration in a manner consistent with
the rules and that to the extent that the JAMS' national rules for the
resolution of contract disputes conflict with the rules, the rules shall take
precedence. The Parties agree that the decision of the arbitrator shall be in
writing as a reasoned award.
m. Except as provided by the JAMS rules and this agreement, arbitration shall
be the sole, exclusive and final remedy for any dispute between the
Parties. Accordingly, except as provided for by the rules and this
agreement, neither Party will be permitted to pursue court action regarding
claims that are subject to arbitration.
