BETWEEN

HUMBL, INC.

(as Seller)

and

AVRIO WORLDWIDE, PBC

(as Buyer)

Dated February 23, 2024

ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Asset Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of February 23, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Avrio Worldwide, PBC, a Delaware public benefit corporation (“Buyer”), and HUMBL, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Seller”).

A. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Buyer desires to acquire from Seller, and Seller is willing to sell to Buyer, substantially all of the assets and intellectual property rights associated with Seller’s HUMBL Financial product line (the “Business”).

B. As an incentive and inducement to Buyer to acquire the assets of the Business, and as a condition thereto, Seller is willing to make various covenants and agreements with Buyer, as set forth below.

C. The Parties desire to enter into this Agreement in order to set forth and establish their rights and obligations with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, and in consideration of the above-recited premises and the mutual promises, covenants and conditions contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

Article I

Purchase and Sale of Assets

1.1 Purchase and Sale of Acquired Assets. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing (as defined below), Seller shall sell, convey, transfer, assign and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase, acquire and accept from Seller, all of the assets used in, required for and relating to, the operation of the Business, including, without limitation, those items referenced in Schedule 1 attached hereto (the “Acquired Assets”), but excluding the Excluded Assets (defined below).

1.2 Assets Being Retained by Seller. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Acquired Assets will not include, and Seller will retain all rights and interests in, and all obligations with respect to, those items referenced in Schedule 2 attached hereto (the “Excluded Assets”).

1.3 Assumption of Liabilities. Buyer will not assume any of the obligations, liabilities or indebtedness of Seller or the Business of any nature whatsoever, whether or not reflected on any financial statements or records of Seller or the Business, except as otherwise specifically provided herein.

Article II
Consideration Payable by Buyer

2.1 Purchase Price. The consideration payable by Buyer for the Acquired Assets and for the other covenants and agreements of Seller hereunder will be $5,000,000.00 plus the Revenue Share (as defined below) (the “Purchase Price”).

2.2 Payment of Purchase Price. Buyer will negotiate the Purchase Price by issuing to Seller at Closing 1,920,000 shares of Buyer’s Class A Common Stock (as defined below) (the “Shares”), representing $5,000,000 of value at a fifty million dollar ($50,000,000) pre-money valuation (which is approximately $2.60) per share).

2.3 Revenue Share. Subject to Seller’s full and complete compliance of all terms hereunder and in the event that Seller is not in breach of any of the terms of this Agreement, until the earlier of (a) the five-year anniversary of this Agreement or (b) and Buyer completing an initial public offering, Buyer agrees to pay to Seller 2.5% of Gross Receipts (the “Revenue Share”). The term “Gross Receipts” shall mean 100% of any and all amounts actually received by Buyer in connection with the sales of any Acquired Assets or other HUMBL Financial branded products less any documented out of pocket costs associated with such sales. The Revenue Share will be dispersed on the 15^th of each month following the end of each calendar quarter and shall be accompanied by a customary reconciliation against the correlation trade ledger and separated by product line.

2.4 Audit Rights. Buyer agrees to allow Seller to examine its relevant records at Buyer’s offices during regular business (provided such examination does not interfere unreasonably with Buyer’s business activities) solely in connection with the Revenue Share allocation. Any examination will be conducted only by an accounting firm of regional or national standing (the “Independent Auditor”) and is limited in scope with no removal of records from Buyer’s offices. The decision of the Independent Auditor shall be a final and binding determination. The audit will be conducted at Seller’s expense unless the results of such audit establish that inaccuracies in the quarterly reports have resulted in underpayment to Seller of more than 5% of the amount due in any quarter, in which case Buyer shall pay within 30 days all amounts due and bear the expenses of the audit in an amount not to exceed $7,500. Once any materials have been audited, they may not be audited a second time.

2.5 Allocation of Purchase Price. Buyer and Seller agree to allocate the Purchase Price among the various Acquired Assets within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date after taking into account the applicable Treasury Regulations and the fair market value of such items. Buyer shall prepare for filing all of the tax returns, information returns and statements (“Returns”) that may be required with respect to the transaction provided for herein pursuant to Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, any other similar provision of the Code and any other similar, applicable foreign, state or local tax law or regulation. Seller shall provide information that may be required by Buyer for the purpose of preparing such Returns, execute and file such Returns as requested by Buyer and file all other returns and tax information on a basis that is consistent with such Returns prepared by Buyer.

2.6 Non-Use of HUMBL Financial Marks. HUMBL shall not use or have the right to use any of the Marks (as defined in Exhibit B and any attachments thereto), without Buyer’s prior and express written consent, provided it is also understood and agreed that nothing herein shall affect Buyer’s sole ownership of the Marks.

6.1 Indemnification. Each Party (as an “Indemnifying Party”) agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless each of the other parties (as an “Indemnified Party”), from and against each claim, loss, liability, cost and expense (including without limitation, interest, penalties, costs of preparation and investigation, and the reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors) (collectively “Losses”), directly or indirectly relating to, resulting from or arising out of any untrue representation, misrepresentation, unauthorized use of the Acquired Assets, breach of warranty or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or other obligation by or of the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other transaction document related hereto.

6.2 Indemnification Procedures. An Indemnified Party shall promptly notify an Indemnifying Party of any claim, demand, action or proceeding for which indemnification will be sought under Section 6.1 above and, if such claim, demand, action or proceeding is a third-party claim, demand, action or proceeding, the Indemnifying Party will have the right at its expense to assume the defense thereof using counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate, at its own expense, with respect to any such third-party claim, demand, action or proceeding. In connection with any such third-party claim, demand, action or proceeding, the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall cooperate with each other and provide each other with access to relevant books and records in their possession. No such third-party claim, demand, action or proceeding shall be settled without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party. If a firm written offer is made to settle any such third party claim, demand, action or proceeding and the Indemnifying Party proposes to accept such settlement and Indemnified Party refuses to consent to such settlement, then: (a) the Indemnifying Party shall be excused from, and the Indemnified Party shall be solely responsible for, all further defense of such third party claim, demand, action or proceeding; and (b) the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party relating to such third party claim, demand, action or proceeding shall be the amount of the proposed settlement if the amount thereafter recovered from the Indemnified Party on such third party claim, demand, action or proceeding is greater than the amount of the proposed settlement.

If Buyer is entitled to indemnification as provided herein, Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and offset any Losses incurred by Buyer against any payments owing to Seller pursuant to Section 2.2 above. Seller’s maximum liability under this Agreement shall in no event exceed the Purchase Price, and Buyer’s sole remedy would be to receive back Shares equal to the value of Seller’s indemnification obligation.

6.3 Cooperation of the Parties. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in the resolution of any claim or liability with respect to which an Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party hereunder, including by making commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any such claim or liability. In the event that an Indemnified Party shall fail to make such commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any claim or liability, then notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to indemnify any person for any losses that would have actually been avoided if the Indemnified Party had made such efforts.

6.4 Termination of Indemnification Obligations. The indemnification obligations set forth in this Article VI shall terminate on the date which is 18 months following the Closing; provided that such obligations shall not terminate as to any item as to which the Indemnified Party shall have, before the expiration of such 18-month period, previously made a claim by delivering a notice of such claim (stating in reasonable detail the basis of such claim) to the Indemnifying Party. All of the representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of 18 months. Buyer shall not assume or be liable for any liabilities or obligations of Seller arising at or prior to the Closing unless identified herein
