Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 28, 2020, Canbiola, Inc. (the “Company” or “CANB”) entered into a License Agreement (the “Agreement”) with LIFEGUARD LICENSING CORP., a Delaware corporation (“Lifeguard”). Pursuant to the Agreement, Lifeguard granted the Company the right to use its “LIFEGUARD^TM” trademark (the “Mark”) in connection with the Company’s manufacture, marketing, distribution, and sale of products (the “License”). In consideration for the License, the Company agreed to pay Lifeguard a royalty equal to six percent (6%) of net sales of its LIFEGUARD branded products on a quarterly basis. The Company further agreed that, regardless of the net sales generated, each royalty payment will be in an amount not less than $60,000, which minimum amount will increase annually following December 31, 2021. The Agreement will continue until December 31, 2025, unless earlier terminated by the parties, and may be renewed for additional five (5)-year terms if certain performance conditions are met.

Under the License, the Company has various performance and sales obligations including initial product introduction timing and Lifeguard has various oversight rights such as audit rights, quality control and inspection rights. Licensor has the right to terminate the License in the event of certain breaches by the Company, at which point, the Company will be required all licensed material; however it will be permitted to sell its existing inventory so long as termination is not due to quality issues. Lifeguard and the Company have agreed to indemnify each other, which indemnification obligations will survive the termination of the Agreement. The Company also agreed to procure and maintain certain insurance policies for the benefit of the Company and Lifeguard.

The Agreement otherwise contains terms, conditions, and representation common with this type of transaction.

The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the full text of the Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
