RECITALS

A.       RGT and Mercer Street are parties to two separate convertible securities facilities: (i) the Convertible Securities Agreement dated 8 September 2020 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “2020 CSA”), under which AUD-denominated convertible notes were issued; and (ii) the Convertible Securities Agreement dated 29 July 2022 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “2022 CSA”, and together with the 2020 CSA, the “CSAs”), under which USD-denominated convertible notes were issued. Each CSA constitutes a separate agreement and each convertible note issued under it is a secured debt security evidencing RGT’s indebtedness to Mercer Street under the relevant CSA.

B.       Each CSA is secured by a separate General Security Deed granted by RGT in favour of Mercer Street over all of RGT’s present and after-acquired property: (i) the General Security Deed dated on or about 8 September 2020 in respect of the 2020 CSA (the “2020 Security Deed”); and (ii) the General Security Deed dated on or about 29 July 2022 in respect of the 2022 CSA (the “2022 Security Deed”, and together with the 2020 Security Deed, the “Security Deeds”). Each Security Deed secures only the Secured Money and Secured Obligations under, and as defined in, the CSA to which it relates.

C.       As of the date hereof, Mercer Street holds convertible notes issued by RGT comprising: (i) under the 2020 CSA, one (1) convertible notes with an aggregate outstanding face value of A$ 450,000 (the “2020 Cancelled Note”); and (ii) under the 2022 CSA, seven (7) convertible notes with an aggregate outstanding face value of US$ 5,206,432 (the “2022 Cancelled Notes”, and together with the 2020 Cancelled Note, the “Cancelled Notes”).

**D.       **RGT and SBEV have entered into that certain License Agreement dated as of July __, 2026 (the License Agreement), pursuant to which RGT granted to SBEV an exclusive license to certain intellectual property of RGT, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein;

**E.       **As part of the consideration for the License Agreement, the License Agreement contemplates the consummation of a transaction (the Debt Exchange) pursuant to which Mercer Street will forgive the Cancelled Notes, and in exchange therefor, SBEV will issue to Mercer Street preferred stock with an aggregate stated value equal to Five Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($5,500,000), such Debt Exchange being a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the License Agreement;

**F.       **The Parties desire to set forth the terms and conditions upon which the Debt Exchange will be effected, including (i) the cancellation of the Cancelled Notes by Mercer Street, (ii) the release of the Security Deeds to the extent applicable, and (iii) the issuance by SBEV to Mercer Street of preferred stock in SBEV; and

**G.       **Each Party has determined that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are in its best interests and desires to consummate the Debt Exchange on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

Section 8.6 Amendment and Modification. This Agreement may not be amended, modified, supplemented, or waived except by a written instrument executed by each of the Parties. No course of dealing between the Parties shall be effective to amend, modify, supplement, or waive any provision of this Agreement.

Section 8.7 Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any Party in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law.

Section 8.8 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed, and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. Upon such determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner.

Section 8.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or portable document format (.pdf) transmission), each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including .pdf) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart.

Section 8.10 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Party may assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each other Party; provided, however, that Mercer Street may assign its rights to receive the Preferred Equity to any Affiliate of Mercer Street without the consent of the other Parties, so long as such Affiliate satisfies the requirements of an “accredited investor” under the Securities Act.

Section 8.11 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided in this Section 8.11, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy of any nature under or by reason of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Mercer Street is an intended third-party beneficiary of Sections 3.1(a), 4.4, and 12.8 of the License Agreement and that the provisions of this Agreement are intended to effectuate the Debt Exchange described therein.

Section 8.12 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its terms and that the Parties shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond or other security.

Section 8.13 Expenses. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 8.14 Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If any ambiguity or question of intent arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.
