ARTICLE 2.
THE ACQUISITION
2.0 The parties agree that the Subsidiary will acquire certain rights and assets currently held and operated by the Company. The first transactions will be selling contract rights and assets (inventory, machinery, receivables, licensing rights, brands, and similar tangible and intangible items) from the Company to the Subsidiary for Acquisition Credits at their value (as earnings multiples and as assets under the Section 2.1 definitions). These rights are only a portion of the assets that are owned by the Company and are being specifically sold to the Subsidiary as set forth in this agreement.
2.1 The parties agree that the Company will receive compensation for its sale of these rights and assets to Subsidiary based upon an Earnout Schedule, described below, upon transfer of such rights or assets to the Subsidiary or achieving performance benchmarks during a 5-year period.
2.11 Methods for determining Earnout Schedule — these are generally as follows:
(i) Valuation methods of Annual Revenue Growth or EBITDA, whichever is higher, plus the Appraised Value of Assets:
— Annual Revenue Growth Method (70% of revenue increases)
— EBITDA Method (70% of 5 X EBITDA)
— 1.4 x Appraised Value of Assets Method (actual value acquired)
(ii) Under the Appraised Value of Assets Method, Acquisition Credits are assigned on the asset transfer date and calculated as 1.4 times the appraised value for the portion received in Acquisition Credits instead of cash. This assumes a six-month lockup period, the ability to convert the whole amount into free trading shares after 6 months, and a customary risk-adjusted return on a convertible debenture for a pink sheet company. If the lockup period is extended due to lockup provisions or for any other reason, the 1.4 multiplier increases proportionally to reflect the extension.
(iii) As per Section 2.2 and Schedule A of this Agreement, in addition to 70% of the Earn-Out Schedule distributed to the Company shareholders, a 15% management fee denominated in Acquisition Credits is distributed to American Industrial Group, Inc. and 15% to Z&O Bottling Innovations, Inc. This structure applies to all acquisitions by SNBH.
The Earnout Schedule will result in a series of credits being earned. These credits will be issued by SNBH in the form of an Acquisition Credit, which can be converted into common stock of SNBH at a series of dates in the future, as set out more fully in the Acquisition Credit description above.
2.12 The recipients of the Acquisition Credits are the equity holders of interests or rights at the Company:
25% to Global Assets, Inc.
25% to Yan Aronov
50% to Concent, Inc.
any of these recipients are free to assign their rights to others, subject to any Lock-up Agreements with SNBH
2.2Adherence with Applicable Securities Laws. Each of the recipients of the Acquisition Credits agrees that he or she is acquiring the Acquisition Credits and any resultant Shares for investment purposes and will not offer, sell or otherwise transfer, pledge or hypothecate any of the Acquisition Credits issued to him (other than pursuant to an effective Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), directly or indirectly unless:
(a) the sale is to Purchaser;
(b) the sale is made pursuant to the exemption from registration under the Securities Act, provided by Rule 144 thereunder; or
(c) the Acquisition Credits are sold in a transaction that does not require registration under the Securities Act or any applicable United States state laws and regulations governing the offer and sale of securities, and the Seller has furnished to Purchaser an opinion of counsel to that effect or such other written opinion as may be reasonably required by Purchaser.
The Sellers acknowledge that if Acquisition Credits were converted into Common Shares (Converted Shares) prior to a six (6) months holding period, the certificates representing the Converted Shares shall bear the following legend or one that is substantially similar to the following legend:
THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “1933 ACT”), OR UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE 1933 ACT, OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR HYPOTHECATION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF THE 1933 ACT.
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS AND RIGHTS AS SET FORTH IN THE (A) SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT DATED AUGUST 2, 2024 AND (B) LOCK-UP AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE, COPIES OF WHICH ARE ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.
2.3 Closing. The parties hereto shall use their best efforts to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) on or before April 10, 2025.
2.4 Lock-Up / Leak-out. Prior to the Closing, (i) each of the Sellers, (ii) the Company’s officers, insiders, directors, and affiliates or other related parties under control of the Company,
(iii) Purchaser’s officers, insiders, directors, and affiliates or other related parties under control of Purchaser, and (iv) holders of over 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company following the Closing (collectively, the “Lockup Parties”), shall be subject to the terms and provisions of a lock-up agreement in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto (the “Lock-Up Agreement”), which shall provide the manner in which such Lockup Parties will sell, transfer or dispose of their shares of common stock subsequent to the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, the execution and delivery of the Lockup Agreements by each of the Lockup Parties as set forth in this Section 2.4 is a condition precedent to the consummation of the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by the Agreement, provided that, the terms of the Lock-Up Agreements shall not be effective or enforceable until the consummation of the Closing.
2.5 No Ownership. The Sellers have no right to, nor any interest in the Acquisition Credits until such time that they have been earned pursuant to the Earnout Schedule.
2.6 Restricted Securities. The Sellers understand that the Common Stock Shares converted from Acquisition Credits prior to the six (6) months holding period are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act inasmuch as this Agreement contemplates that, if acquired by the Sellers pursuant hereto, the Acquisition Credits would be acquired in a transaction not involving a public offering. The Sellers acknowledge that the Common Stock Shares converted from Acquisition Credits prior to 6 months holding period and issued to the Sellers in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, Shares may not be resold without registration under the Securities Act or the existence of an exemption therefrom. The Sellers represent that they are familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understand the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its sole option and expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice, which must be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder.

The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Claim.

(c) The failure of the Indemnified Party to give reasonably prompt notice of any Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate actual loss and prejudice as a result of such failure.

SCHEDULE A
Purpose:
To align incentives of the parties by:
(a) creating a performance-based earnout schedule, whereby the Acquisition Credit shall be issued to the Sellers (and/or their designees) following the Closing after achieving certain Purchaser revenue growth with a minimum of EBITDA of 5%;
(b) establishing a commitment of the Company to increase Purchaser’s revenue and EBITDA for at least five (5) years;
Valuation methods of Annual Revenue Growth or EBITDA, whichever is higher, plus the Appraised Value of Assets:
Earnout Criteria:
1. Annual Revenue Growth Method:
? Acquisition Credit issued = Purchaser Quarterly Revenue Growth relative to the same quarter in the previous year;
? For Example: If revenue grew from $5,000,000 in quarter one 2024 to $10,000,000 in quarter 1 2025 then:
a $5,000,000 Acquisition Credit would be issued
2. EBITDA Method:
? Acquisition Credit issued = Five (5) x Quarterly EBITDA Growth relative to the same quarter in the previous year ;
? For Example: If EBITDA grows from $200,000 in quarter one 2024 to $500,000 in quarter one 2025 then:
5 x $300,000 = $1,500,000 as the Acquisition Credit to be issued.
3. Appraised Value of Rolled-in Assets Method (actual value of assets acquired):
? Acquisition Credit issued = 1.4 x Appraised Value of Rolled-in Assets.
? For Example: If assets in quarter one 2024 were $1,000,000 and assets in quarter one 2025 were $5,000,000:
$4,000,000 x 1.4 = $5,600,000 of Acquisition Credit would be issued.
? Under the Appraised Value of Assets Method, Acquisition Credit are assigned on the asset transfer date and calculated as 1.4 times the appraised value for the portion received in Acquisition Credit instead of cash. This assumes a six-month lockup period, the ability to convert the whole amount into free trading shares after 6 months, and a customary risk-adjusted return on a convertible debenture for a pink sheet company. If the lockup period is extended due to lockup provisions or for any other reason, the 1.4 multiplier increases proportionally to reflect the extension.
Issuances of the Acquisition Credits to Sellers (and/or their designees) shall generally commence after the initial two (2) quarters of Purchaser’s revenue are disclosed in Purchaser’s periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-Q and 10-K, as applicable, following the Closing. The amount of Acquisition Credit shall be trued up at the end of Purchaser’s respective fiscal year (i.e., four (4) quarters of Purchaser’s revenue divided by Purchaser’s trailing average share price over the prior year).
This calculation shall be made prior to the issuance of shares for the 4th quarter of a given year and the amount of Acquisition Credit shall be added or deducted from the amount issued.
Earnout Calculation:
The amount of Acquisition Credits to be issued to Sellers (and/or their designees) each quarter will be determined by calculating the three (3) above earnout criteria methods. The method which yields the largest amount of Acquisition Credit will be utilized for the issuance of the Acquisition Credit to Sellers (and/or their designees) within the applicable quarterly period. The Sellers must designate any designees or assignees prior to the end of the quarter.
Earnout Schedule:
The Earnout Schedule will result in a series of convertible credits being earned. These convertible obligations will be issued by SNBH in the form of an Acquisition Credit, which can be converted into common stock of SNBH at a series of dates in the future, as set out more fully in the Acquisition Credit description.
(a) The Acquisition Credit earnout period will last for up to five (5) years; provided, that in order for Acquisition Credit to be issued to Sellers (and/or their designees) in a given year, Purchaser’s revenue, with a minimum of 5% EBITDA in such year, must increase over the previous year, and the amount of Acquisition Credits to be issued will be based upon such increase. The balance of the Acquisition Credit, if any, shall be issued to the Sellers (and/or their designees) at the end of the five (5) year period.
(b) The Acquisition Credit will be issued to Sellers (and/or their designees) on a quarterly basis, based on the calculations outlined above and trued up at the end of each fiscal year of Purchaser, respectively.
Implementation:
1. At the end of each fiscal quarter of Purchaser, the Purchaser will calculate the Acquisition Credit to be issued to Sellers (and/or their designees) using the three above earnout criteria methods.
2. The method resulting in the largest amount of Acquisition Credit will be selected for each quarter’s issuance of the Acquisition Credit to Sellers (and/or their designees).
3. The applicable amount of Acquisition Credit shall be issued to the Sellers and/or their designees or assignees accordingly.
4. Starting six (6) months after the effective date an Acquisition Credit holder can issue a conversion notice for the for the number of shares desired under the conversion.

If the Board of Directors grants such a waiver, then before the waiver takes effect, 50% of the shares subject to that waiver must be transferred to one or more Acquisition Credit (“AC”) holders in exchange for AC amounts equal to the dollar amount of stock being sold by the Holder from those AC holders receiving the shares. Any Holder who receives AC as payment obtains the same conversion rights as the other AC holders.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in Section 1(a) above shall not apply to (A) the sale by the Holder of up to 2% of the Lockup and not more than 10% of daily stock liquidity, whichever is lower, commencing 3 months after Acquisition Credit holders can first sell their shares (the “Effective Date”), which is estimated to be approximately 9 months after the first closing, (B) transfers (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, provided that the donee or donees thereof agree to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, or (ii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned, provided that the trustee of the trust agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, or (C) with the prior written consent of the Board of Directors of the Company. For purposes of this Letter Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin. The 2% restriction is increased pursuant to the following schedule:
10th month 2%
11th month 2%
12th month 5%
13th month 5%
14th month 5%
15th month 8%
16th month 8%
17th month 8%
18th month 11%
19th month 11%
20th month 15%
21st month 20%
The aggregate total of all monthly restrictions equals 100% after end of the final month.
2. Restrictive Legend. All certificates representing the Lockup Shares owned by the Holder and any certificates issued with respect thereto or in substitution, therefore, shall bear a legend substantially as follows, in addition to any legend the Company determines is required pursuant to any applicable legal requirement, including the standard legend required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended:
“The shares represented by this certificate may not be offered, sold, pledged, transferred, assigned or otherwise disposed of except in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and that certain Lock-Up Agreement dated as of March __, 2025, a copy of which agreement the Company will furnish, without charge, to the holder of this certificate upon written request therefor.”
The Company, at its discretion, may cause a stop transfer order to be placed with its transfer agent(s) with respect to the certificates representing the Lockup Shares.

Exhibit D
Acquisition Credit and Conversion Form
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, OR HYPOTHECATED ABSENT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT, OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
CONVERTIBLE ACQUISITION CREDIT DUE DATE1, 20XX
THIS ACQUISITION CREDIT is one of a duly authorized series of issuances of Acquisition Credits (or “Credits”) of Sentient Brands Holdings, Inc. (a Nevada corporation and the “Company” in this document), designated as its Convertible Acquisition Credit Due DATE1, 20XX, in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $$$$.
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company promises to issue to Holder or Holder’s assignees (the “Holder”), common stock in the aggregate amount of $$$$ ($xxx,xxx), on DATE1, 20XX (the “Maturity Date”), or any date thereafter, via conversion of the Acquisition Credit into those shares according to the formula set forth below. These conversion shares may be issued to an assignee or transferee, provided, however, that the Company’s obligation to a transferee of this Acquisition Credit arises only if such transfer, sale or other disposition is made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Regulation 506 Securities Subscription Agreement executed by the original Holder.
This Acquisition Credit is subject to the following additional provisions:
1. The Acquisition Credits are issuable in any amount.
2. This Acquisition Credit has been issued subject to investment representations of the original recipient and may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). Prior to due presentment for or transfer of this Acquisition Credit, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the person in whose name this Acquisition Credit is duly registered on the Company’s Acquisition Credit Register as the owner for the purpose of receiving conversion rights as provided below and for all other purposes, whether or not this Acquisition Credit be overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent will be affected by notice to the contrary.
4. The Holder of this Acquisition Credit is entitled, at its option, at any time more than six months after the issuance date, which will be the Maturity Date, to convert any or all of the principal amounts of these Acquisition Credits or any portion of the principal amount into shares of Common Stock of the Company (“Shares”) with the number of shares issuable upon such conversion being equal to the dollar amount converted at a price per share, established as follows for each date of requested conversion:
4.1 The conversion price will be determined by the volume-weighted average of the closing price of the Company’s common stock for the 30-day period preceding the requested conversion date.
4.2 The number of shares issuable might be further restricted subject to the Lockup Leak Out Agreement executed by the holder.
The conversion will be effectuated by surrendering the Acquisition Credits to be converted to the Company, with the form of conversion notice attached to the Acquisition Credit as Exhibit A, executed by the Holder of the Acquisition Credit evidencing such Holder’s intention to convert this Acquisition Credit, and accompanied, if required by the Company, by proper assignment hereof in blank. No fraction of Shares or script representing fractions of Shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of Shares issuable will be rounded to the nearest whole Share. The date on which notice of conversion is given will be deemed to be the date on which the Holder has delivered this Acquisition Credit, with the conversion notice duly executed, to the Company, or if earlier, the date set forth in such notice of conversion if the Acquisition Credit is received by the Company within five business days thereafter.
5. No provision of this Acquisition Credit will alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 4 above, to allow conversion of this Acquisition Credit at the time, place, and rate, and in the shares of common stock as herein prescribed. Because of the volumetric restrictions of Section 4, the conversion of this Credit may require several months or more. This Acquisition Credit and all other Acquisition Credits now or hereafter issued on similar terms are direct obligations of the Company. This Acquisition Credit ranks equally with all other Acquisition Credits now or hereafter issued under the terms set forth herein with respect to this Acquisition Credit.
6. If one or more of the following described “Events of Default” will occur:
(a) The Company will default in the rights of conversion described in this agreement with respect to balances due on this Acquisition Credit; or
(b) The Company will (1) become insolvent; (2) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature; (3) make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or commence proceedings for its dissolution; or (4) apply for or consent to the appointment of a trustee, liquidator or receiver for it or for a substantial part of its property or business; or
(c) A trustee, liquidator or receiver will be appointed for the Company or for a substantial part of its property or business without its consent and will not be discharged within thirty (30) days after such appointment; or
(d) Any governmental agency or any court of competent jurisdiction at the instance of any governmental agency will assume custody or control of the whole or any substantial portion of the properties or assets of the Company and will not be dismissed within thirty (30) days thereafter, or
(e) Any money judgment, writ or warrant of attachment, or similar process in excess of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) in aggregate will be entered or filed against the Company or any of its properties or other assets and will remain unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of fifteen (15) days or in any event later than five (5) days prior to the date of any proposed sale thereunder; or
(f) Bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors will be instituted by or against the Company and, if instituted against the Company, will not be dismissed within thirty (30) days after such institution or the Company will by any action or answer approve of, consent, or acquiesce in any such proceedings or admit the material allegations of, or default in answering a petition filed in any such proceeding; or
(g) The Company will have its Common Stock delisted from an exchange or over-the-counter market without being relisted on a public exchange shortly thereafter.
Then, or at any time thereafter, and in each and every such case, unless such Event of Default shall have been waived in writing by the Holder (which waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default) at the option of the Holder and in the Holder’s sole discretion, the Holder may consider this Acquisition Credit immediately due and payable, in cash as opposed to conversion into shares of common stock, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived.
7. For so long as any amount payable under this Acquisition Credit remains unpaid, the Company will furnish to the Holder or publish with the EDGAR system the following information:
(a) Beginning January 1, 2026, a business plan and budget for the Company for such year or an equivalent statement described within the Company’s Annual Reports of Form 10K.
(b) No later than one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of each fiscal year, beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, consolidated balance sheets, statements of income and statements of cash flow and shareholders’ equity of the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and audited by a firm of independent public accountants.
(c) Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each quarter (except the fourth quarter) of each fiscal year, consolidated balance sheets, statements of income and statements of cash flow and shareholders’ equity of the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, including a summary discussion of major variances, if any, between such quarterly statement and the budget.
So long as the company is a publicly reporting, listed entity, timely filing of the requisite reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission will satisfy the information requirements of Section 7.
8. The Company covenants and agrees that until all amounts due under this Acquisition Credit have been paid in full, by conversion or otherwise, and for so long as Holder holds shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of this Acquisition Credit unless the Holder waives compliance in writing, the Company will:
(a) Give prompt written notice to the Holder of any Event of Default as defined in this Acquisition Credit or of any other matter which has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a materially adverse change in its financial condition or operations.
(b) Give prompt notice to the Holder of any claim, action, or proceeding which, in the event of any unfavorable outcome, would or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.
(c) At all times, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Acquisition Credit such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as will from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of the outstanding principal balance of this Acquisition Credit into shares of Common Stock.
(d) Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Acquisition Credit and:
(i) in the case of loss, theft, or destruction of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, or
(ii) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Acquisition Credit, the Company, at its expense, will execute and deliver a new Acquisition Credit dated the date of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Acquisition Credit.
9. The Holder of this Acquisition Credit, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this Acquisition Credit is being acquired for investment and that such Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Acquisition Credit or the Shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Act or any applicable state Blue Sky laws or similar laws relating to the sale of securities.
10. In case any provision of this Acquisition Credit is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Acquisition Credit will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
11. This Acquisition Credit constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement between the Company and the Holder with respect to the subject hereof. Neither this Acquisition Credit nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Holder.
14. This Acquisition Credit will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed by an officer thereunto duly authorized.
