This Agreement is executed to:

| 2. | Resolve any existing monetary and non-monetary defaults; |

| 3.2 | Texas Performance Note (Executed Now, Effective After 24 Months if Triggered). |
Borrower shall execute a Texas Performance Note and Deed of Trust, which will:
| ● | Not take effect unless the performance conditions below are breached; |
| ● | Secure Borrower’s obligations relating to performance, cooperation, and completion of all required work. |
| 3.2.1 | Springing Obligation. |
The Texas Performance Note becomes effective automatically if, within 24 months of the Effective Date:

| 2. | Borrower fails to complete the required obligations or fails to achieve a satisfactory resolution; |
| 3. | The entire indebtedness owed to Lender (initial $5M component AND all other notes) has not been paid in full. |
Upon springing into effect:
| ● | The Texas Performance Note becomes immediately due and payable at Lender’s election; |
| ● | Lender retains the Texas Property already conveyed under the DILF; |
| ● | Lender may enforce the Performance Note’s remedies in addition to retaining ownership of the Texas Property. |
| 3.3 | Profit-Sharing upon Sale of Texas Property. |
Upon sale of the Texas Property by Lender (or a subsequent owner):
| 1. | All amounts owed to Lender relating to the original $5,000,000 portion must be paid in full first plus any additional new funds provided for finalization of the project, including accrued interest and/or penalties. |
| 2. | After satisfaction of these amounts: |
| o | Lender shall receive 30% of remaining net sale proceeds; |
| o | Borrower shall receive 70% of remaining net sale proceeds. |
This structure incentivizes Borrower performance while protecting Lender’s capital recovery.
