This Agreement is made with the Company and Shareholder in part in reliance upon the Shareholder’s representation to WBSI, which by the Shareholder’s execution of this Agreement Shareholder hereby confirms, that the WBSI Shares to be acquired by the Shareholder will be acquired for investment for the Shareholder’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof (other than in accordance with applicable securities laws), and that Shareholder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same except to an entity which is owned or controlled by the Shareholder and which is an accredited investor. By executing this Agreement, the Shareholder further represents that he does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the WBSI Shares.

5.5 Restricted Securities. The Shareholder understands that the WBSI Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Shareholder’s representations as expressed herein. The Shareholder understands that the WBSI Shares to be received by Shareholder are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and regulations, and that pursuant to these laws, the Shareholder must hold the WBSI Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. The Shareholder acknowledges that WBSI has no obligation to register or qualify the WBSI Shares for resale. The Shareholder further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the WBSI Shares, and requirements relating to WBSI which are outside of the Shareholder’s control and which WBSI is under no obligation, and may not be able, to satisfy.
5.6 Legends. It is understood that the WBSI Shares, and any securities issued in respect thereof or exchange therefor, may bear the following legend or a legend of similar import and any legend required by the Blue Sky laws of any state of the United States to the extent such laws are applicable to the shares represented by the certificate so legended:

WBSI will work with the creditors of WBSI to convert, reduce or mitigate the outstanding debts that WBSI has incurred with its creditors (as reflected in Section 6.8 of the WBSI Disclosure Schedules). Any conversion price shall be mutually agreed upon by Rowland Day and Saul Leal.
8.11 Conversion of Day’s Loan and Services to WBSI. The loan’s that Rowland Day made to WBSI for calendar years 2019, 2020, and 2021 (i.e., in the initial principal amount of $221,990.00) may be converted, at his option, and shall remain as valid legal obligations owed by WBSI to Rowland Day and may be paid from either the operations of WBSI, other borrowings by WBSI, or from the sale of WBSI’s capital stock.
| 25 |
8.12 Name Change. WBSI will immediately file to change its corporate name on file with the Nevada Secretary of State.
8.13 Escrow of Shareholder’s One-Half of WBSI Shares. Shareholder agrees and acknowledges that 1,363,637 of the WBSI Shares (“Escrow Shares”) shall be held in Escrow and may not be sold, transferred, assigned, or used as collateral for any debt of Shareholder, and shall not vote on any WBSI corporate matter for which votes are required. Additionally, a legend shall be placed (in addition to the standard 1933 Act Legend) on the Escrow Shares. The following legend shall be placed on the Escrow Shares:
“THESE SHARES ARE SUBJECT TO THIS LEGEND AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, OR USED AS COLLATERAL FOR ANY DEBT BY THE SHAREHOLDER AND SHAREHOLDER MAY NOT VOTE THESE ESCROW SHARES ON ANY CORPORATE MATTER UNTIL THE COMPANY HAS ACHIEVED CASH SALES OF $5 MILLION DOLLARS WITHIN 12 CONSECUTIVE MONTHS PRIOR TO DECEMBER 31, 2027. THIS ESCROW MAY ONLY BE WAIVED OR ADJUSTED BY THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ROWLAND DAY.”
8.14 Independent Legal Representation. Company acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to seek and retain its own legal counsel to represent and protect its legal and equitable interest in connection with this Agreement. Company also acknowledges that the CEO of WBSI, Rowland Day, is the majority owner of WBSI and is a licensed attorney that has represented the interests of WBSI in connection with this Agreement and has not represented the Company nor its shareholders. Upon the completion of this Agreement, Rowland Day will continue as a significant shareholder and as a creditor of WBSI and due to his stock ownership may continue as a director or officer of WBSI.
Based upon Rowland Day’s majority control of WBSI, as the largest creditor of WBSI, and as the sole director and officer of WBSI, Rowland Day controls WBSI and therefore cannot and has not represented any other party to this Agreement. Company and Shareholder acknowledge that Rowland Day, as a lawyer, has not represented either party individually or collectively.

ARTICLE XI
INDEMNIFICATION
11.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties of the Company, the Shareholder and WBSI contained herein or in any document, certificate or other instrument required to be delivered hereunder in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall survive the Closing for the period ending on the date that is (12) months after the Closing Date. No claim for indemnification for breach of a representation or warranty may be commenced after the period of survival of such representation or warranty, provided, however, that claims made within the applicable time period shall survive to the extent of such claim until such claim is finally determined and, if applicable, paid.
| 29 |
11.2 Indemnification.
(a) WBSI agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and the Shareholder from and against any and all demands, claims, actions or causes of action, assessments, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including interest, penalties and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (collectively “Damages”) asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon or incurred by the Company or the Shareholder, directly or indirectly, by reason of or resulting from (i) any breach by WBSI of this Agreement, or (ii) subject to the survival period set forth in Section 11.1 above, any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by WBSI in this Agreement.
(b) Company and the Shareholder agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless WBSI from and against any and all demands, claims, actions or causes of action, assessments, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including interest, penalties and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (collectively “Damages”) asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon or incurred by WBSI, directly or indirectly, by reason of or resulting from (i) any breach by Company and the Shareholder of this Agreement, or (ii) subject to the survival period set forth in Section 11.1 above, any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by Company and the Shareholder in this Agreement.
11.3 Claims. Whenever any claim shall arise for indemnification hereunder (a “Claim”), the party entitled to indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly give written notice to the party obligated to provide indemnity (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the nature and extent of such Claim and the Damages incurred by it. If the Damages are liquidated in amount, the notice shall so state, and such amount shall be deemed the amount of such Claim of the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party. If the amount is not liquidated, the notice shall so state and, in such event, such Claim shall be deemed asserted against the Indemnifying Party but no payment or satisfaction shall be made on account thereof until the amount of such claim is liquidated.
If the Indemnifying Party shall not, within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice by the Indemnified Party, notify the Indemnified Party in accordance herewith that the Indemnifying Party disputes the right of the Indemnified Party to indemnity in respect of such Claim, then any such Claim shall be paid or satisfied as follows: (i) if said Claim is liquidated, then payment of such Claim to the Indemnified Party shall be made by the Indemnifying Party at the end of such period; or (ii) if the amount of such Claim is unliquidated at the time notice is originally given to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall give a second notice to the Indemnifying Party when the liquidated amount of such Claim is known and, unless the Indemnifying Party shall object in writing to such amount (as opposed to the Claim itself, as to which the right to dispute had expired) within twenty (20) days after the giving of said second notice, payment of such Claim to the Indemnified Party shall be made by the Indemnifying Party.
If the Indemnifying Party shall not have made payment to the Indemnified Party of any Claim when said payment is due, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to take any and all actions required to collect from the Indemnifying Party the amount of such Claim.
Any portion of the amount of Damages asserted by the Indemnified Party in connection with a Claim shall, if not objected to by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the procedures established herein, be considered to be subject to satisfaction without further objection, as may be appropriate.
| 30 |
If the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party that he disputes any Claim or the amount thereof (which notice shall only be given if the Indemnifying Party has a good faith belief that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnity or the full amount of indemnity as claimed) then the parties hereto shall endeavor to settle and compromise such Claim, or may agree to submit the same to arbitration, and, if unable to agree on any settlement or compromise or on submission to arbitration, such claim shall be settled by appropriate litigation, and any liability and the amount of the Damages established by reason of such settlement, compromise, arbitration or litigation, or incurred as a result thereof, shall be paid and satisfied as provided herein.
11.4 Conditions of Indemnification with Respect to Third Party Claims. The Indemnified Party shall promptly give notice to the Indemnifying Party of any claim of a third party which may reasonably be expected to result in a Claim by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in and, with respect to a third party Claim as to which he is “wholly at risk,” direct the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim with counsel selected by him, provided the Indemnifying Party gives written notice to the Indemnified Party of his election to do so within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice in accordance with the preceding sentence. For the purposes of this Section 11.4, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to be “wholly at risk” except as to (i) Claims as to which the Indemnified Party may have any direct monetary risk for which it is not fully indemnified by the terms hereof or (ii) Claims as to which the Indemnified Party in its reasonable judgment has any risk or liability for which compensation by monetary damages would not be adequate. If the Indemnifying Party fails to so notify the Indemnified Party of his election to defend any such third party claim, the Indemnified Party will (upon further notice to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim on behalf of and for the account and expense of the Indemnifying Party, subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such claim at any time prior to settlement, compromise or final determination thereof.
If the proceeding involves matters as to which the Indemnifying Party is not “wholly at risk,” then the defense, compromise or settlement of the Claim, and expenses and liabilities, shall be the responsibility of the Indemnified Party.
The Indemnifying Party shall not under any circumstances, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party a release from all liability in respect of such claim.
11.5 Limitations. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of the Article XI:
(a) None of the Parties to this Agreement nor any of their affiliates shall be entitled to indemnification under this Article XI until the aggregate amount of all Claims exceeds $10,000 at which time all Claims shall be subject to indemnification;
(b) In no event will any Indemnifying Party be liable for consequential damages under this Article XI.
| 31 |
ARTICLE XII

At any time prior to the Closing Date, any Party may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of any other Party hereto or (b) waive compliance with any of the agreements of any other Party or with any conditions to its own obligations. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Party making the waiver or granting the extension by a duly authorized officer. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.
12.3 Assignment and Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned by Company without the prior written consent of WBSI or assigned by WBSI without the prior written consent of Company.

12.6 Severability.

12.8 Arbitration. Any dispute arising out of this Agreement, or its performance or breach, shall be resolved by binding arbitration in Kalispell, Montana under the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). This arbitration provision is expressly made pursuant to and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U. S. C. Sections 1-14 as well as the AAA Rules. The Parties agree that pursuant to Section 9 of the Federal Arbitration Act, a judgment of a United States District Court of competent jurisdiction shall be entered upon the award made pursuant to the arbitration. A single arbitrator, who shall have the authority to allocate the costs of any arbitration initiated under this paragraph, shall be selected according to the AAA Rules within ten (10) days of the submission to the AAA of the response to the statement of claim or the date on which any such response is due, whichever is earlier. The arbitrator shall be required to furnish to the parties to the arbitration a preliminary statement of the arbitrator’s decision that includes the legal rationale for the arbitrator’s conclusion and the calculations pertinent to any damage award being made by the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall then furnish each of the parties to the arbitration the opportunity to comment upon and/or contest the arbitrator’s preliminary statement of decision either, in the discretion of the arbitrator, through briefs or at a hearing. The arbitrator shall render a final decision following any such briefing or hearing. The arbitrator shall conduct the arbitration in accordance with the Federal Rules of Evidence and the AAA Rules. The arbitrator shall decide the amount and extent of the pre-hearing discovery which is appropriate. The arbitrator shall have the power to enter any award of monetary and/or injunctive relief (including the power to issue permanent injunctive relief and also the power to reconsider any prior request for immediate injunctive relief by any Party and any order as to immediate injunctive relief previously granted or denied by a court in response to a request therefor by any Party), including the power to render an award as provided in Rule 43 of the AAA Rules. The arbitrator shall have the power to award the prevailing party its costs and reasonable attorney’s fees; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall not award attorneys’ fees to a prevailing party if the prevailing party received a settlement offer unless the arbitrator’s award to the prevailing party is greater than such settlement offer without taking into account attorneys’ fees in the case of the settlement offer or the arbitrator’s award. In addition to the above courts, the arbitration award may be enforced in any court having jurisdiction over the Parties and the subject matter of the arbitration.
