DF will make an initial investment of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) for the purchase of one hundred million (100,000,000) shares of APGC’s common stock and commit to purchase three (3) additional separate blocks of one hundred million (100,000,000) shares within eighteen (18) months from closing of the Transaction. Advanced Green Innovations, LLC, an entity affiliated with DF has agreed to guaranty all payments due by DF with respect to the additional 300,000,000 shares to be purchased.

Debt Settlement Agreement

Amendment to Notes Payable

 

In conjunction with the Transaction, holders of the Company’s $3 million of Subordinated Contingent Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) agreed to extend the maturity of the Notes from June 30, 2018 until June 30, 2021.
