and its assets; and a majority vote of the members is believed to be controlling in all matters material to this filing, except the dissolution of M2, which requires the affirmative vote of all members for voluntary dissolution.

We executed a Shareholder Voting Agreement between the Company, Mr. Savage, Mr. Atkinson, M2 and D. Sean McEwen, the Companys current Chairman, President, CEO and a director, whereby Mr. McEwen was granted an irrevocable proxy coupled with an interest from each of the foregoing, together with the following rights, including a right of veto, for a period of two (2) years, on the following matters: (i) an increase in the compensation of any employee of the Company by more than $20,000 in any one calendar year and for these purposes, the term compensation includes any form of remuneration or monetary benefit; (ii) the issuance of stock, the creation of a new class of stock, the grant of options or warrants, modification of any shareholder, option holder or warrant holders rights, grants, conversion rights or the taking of any other action that directly or indirectly dilutes the outstanding securities of the Company, excepting a current private placement of common stock of the Company for an equity funding of $1,300,000 through the offer and sale of 6,500,000 shares of the Companys common stock solely to accredited investors; (iii) the issuance of debt in excess of $100,000 in the aggregate in any one calendar year; (iv) the approval of a plan of merger, reorganization or conversion; (v) the sale, transfer or other conveyance of assets of the Company having an aggregate value in excess of $100,000 in any one calendar year, other than in the ordinary course of the business; (vi) the entry into a contract or other transaction having a total aggregate contractual liability for the Company in excess of $100,000 in any one calendar year; (vii) any change in the Bylaws of the Company modifying these requirements (all of which are included in our Amended and Restated Bylaws; and (viii) that Mr. McEwen be named as a nominee to the Board of Directors of the Company at any special or annual meeting of the Companys shareholders to elect members to the Board of Directors and to vote all proxies provided to management in connection with any such meeting for Mr. McEwen as one of the nominees to our Board of Directors, so long as Mr. McEwen owns 5% or more of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock, among other provisions. The Shareholder Voting Agreement also provides, however, that if Mr. McEwen has been removed as a director for cause by our shareholders and such removal has been confirmed by a Delaware court of competent jurisdiction under Delaware Law, this nominee provision shall not be enforceable by Mr. McEwen and shall be void.  See Item 7, Exhibit 2, Shareholder Voting Agreement.  This summary is modified in its entirety by this reference.

Other than as described above, to the knowledge of each of the Reporting Persons, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships among the persons named in Item 2 or between such persons and any person with respect to any securities of the Company, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the securities, finders fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangement, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies, except that M2 agreed to pay M2 Capital Advisors, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (M2 Capital), which is wholly-owned by Mr. Savage, an introduction fee of $25,000 for introducing the Company to M2 in July of 2017.  These funds were divided between M2 Capital and Elev8 Marketing, the latter firm being owned by Mr. Atkinson, and were utilized to repay these entities for legal costs and miscellaneous expenses incurred by them in connection with the formation and funding of M2.
