Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive
Agreement.
Investment Banking Agreement
On October 12, 2021, the Registrant entered into
an investment banking agreement with Cambridge Wilkinson, LLC (“CW”) and Avalon Securities Ltd. (“ASL”,
and its affiliate Avalon Group Ltd. (“Group”). For convenience, CW, ASL and Group will be hereinafter collectively
and generically referred to as the “Investment Banker”. Pursuant to the terms of the Registrant’s agreement with
the Investment Banker:
The Investment Banker will assist the Registrant as its placement
agent and investment banker subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement. For purposes of the Agreement, any
funding source introduced by the Investment Banker to the Registrant or the Registrant’s “Transaction” is referred
to as a “Partner”“ and the term “Transaction” will include any sale by the Registrant of equity securities
or interests, debt securities, hybrid securities, or the entering into of any fund capital, credit, cash advance, factor, loan,
joint venture, buy-out, partnership, lease (property or equipment) or other debt agreements, in one transaction or a series of
transactions funded by a Partner(s) over time. The initial Transaction contemplated under the Agreement will involve a limited
offering of $20,000,000 in shares of the Registrant’s Class B Convertible Preferred Stock at a placement price of $5.00 per
share, in Units of 5,000 shares in reliance on Rule 506(b) of United States Securities and Exchange Commission (hereinafter referred
to as either the “SEC” or the “Commission”) Regulation D (the “Initial Transaction”).
The Investment Banker will act as the Registrant’s exclusive
Investment Banker in connection with a Transaction for a period of 30 days from a mutually agreed upon start date (example, the
date the first teaser is sent out) (the “Initial Exclusivity Period”) and, upon expiration of the Initial Exclusivity
Period, subject to successful conclusion of the Initial Transaction or the termination of the Agreement, the Investment Banker
will continue to assist the Registrant as non-exclusive the Investment Banker in conjunction with any subsequent Transactions.

If the Registrant closes any Transaction with a Partner or with
a person introduced to the Registrant or the Registrant’s Transaction by a Partner, including the Initial Transaction, the
Registrant will pay the Investment Banker the fees for such Transaction described below. In amplification of the foregoing, the
Registrant will have the sole discretion to close on any Transaction(s) but if the Registrant closes on any transaction with a
Partner(s), the Registrant will be obligated to pay the Investment Banker fees as hereinafter set forth in a timely manner.
Subject to successful completion of the Initial Transaction or transaction,
the Investment Banker will have the exclusive right of first refusal to raise any additional funds on any subsequent raises for
the Registrant for three years from the date of the Agreement (the “Right of First Refusal”). The Right of First Refusal
will survive the termination of the Agreement.
Depending on the nature of the Transaction, and as requested by
the Registrant, the Investment Banker may:
A.
|
Assist the Registrant in developing a marketing strategy for the Registrant’s Transaction(s);
|
B.

Solicit interest from potential Partners, including identifying potential Partners, introducing potential Partners to the Registrant and facilitating meetings and presentations; in consultation with the members of the Registrant’s management, review and evaluate all indications of interest or proposals received from potential Partners;
|
C.
|
Advise the Registrant on strategic issues relating to the Transaction, including the structure and valuation of the Transaction;
and
|
D.
|
Assist the Registrant in developing a negotiating strategy for a Transaction and, if requested by the Registrant, participate
(directly or otherwise) in such negotiations; and provide general assistance in implementing and closing a Transaction, if requested
by the Registrant.

As consideration for the Transaction related services provided by
the Investment Banker, the Registrant agrees to pay the Investment Banker the following compensation:
1.
|
The Investment Banker will be owed and paid by the Registrant a cash commission equal to ten percent (10%) of the capital arranged
for any Transactions pertaining to the Initial Transaction closed upon by the Registrant with Partner(s). The Investment Banker,
or accredited individuals selected by the Investment Banker, at its sole discretion, Investment Banker will have the right for
a two (2) year period to convert a portion or all of the Transaction Fee into Registrant shares based on the price of the Registrant’s
stock at the date of the initial funding.
|
2.
|
The Registrant will pay the Investment Banker Transaction cash fees on subsequent Transactions equal to: (a) one percent (1.0%)
times the total amount of senior debt, plus (b) two and one half percent (2.5%) times the total amount of subordinated debt or
mezzanine debt, (c) three percent (3.0%) times the total amount of equity including preferred equity and structured equity.
|
3.
|
In addition to the foregoing fees, if any Transaction not subject to the foregoing is entered into between any Partner and
the Registrant after execution of the Agreement or within 24 months after termination of the Agreement (“Tail”), the
Registrant will pay the Investment Banker a Transaction Fee in accordance with the foregoing formulae based on the investment by,
or as a result of an introduction by a Partner(s).
|
4.
|
In addition to the cash portion of the Transaction Fee, simultaneously with a closing, the Investment Banker, or accredited
individuals selected by the Investment Banker, will be granted at the Close, warrants to purchase the Registrant securities purchased
by the Partner (the “Warrants”) equal in value to five percent (5%) of the value of the Registrant’s equity value
sold in the Transaction to or through a Partner or equivalent value should the Transaction investment take an alternate form. The
Warrants will have a strike price equal to the price per share an Investor is paying for the Registrant’s securities at the
time of the closing or at a fair market valuation at the time of the closing. The Warrants will have a seven-year (7 year) term
and contain the usual and customary terms and conditions for this type of security, including a cashless exercise price.

The Registrant will pay Transaction Fees to the Investment Banker
concurrently with and as a condition to closing on any Transaction(s). In addition to any fees that may be payable to the Investment
Banker, and without regard to whether a Transaction is entered into, the Registrant will reimburse the Investment Banker promptly
upon request, from time to time, for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Agreement, including
without limitation, travel and related expenses, express mail, and other out-of-pocket expenses specifically related to this assignment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the out-of-pocket expenses charged to the Registrant will not exceed $1,500 for any particular expense
without the Registrant’s written consent, nor exceeding $10,000 in the aggregate without mutual agreement of the Parties.
Either party hereto may terminate the Agreement 90 days after the
date thereof by giving thirty-days written notice of such party’s desire to terminate to the other party but termination
will not affect the Investment Banker’s rights of first refusal for future financing nor the Registrant’s obligations
to indemnify and hold the Investment Banker harmless under detailed indemnification obligations assumed by the Registrant under
the Agreement.
