This agreement (together with exhibits and schedules, the “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Armed Forces Brewing Company, Inc. (“Client”), a Delaware Corporation, and Cultivate Capital Group LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company (“Cultivate”). Client and Cultivate agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, effective as of ______________ (the “Effective Date”):
Whereas, Cultivate is a registered broker-dealer providing services in the equity and debt securities market, including offerings conducted via SEC approved exemptions such as Reg D 506(b), 506(c), Regulation A+, Reg CF and others;
Whereas, Client is offering securities directly to the public in an offering exempt from registration under Regulation A (the “Offering”); and
Whereas, Client recognizes the benefit of having Cultivate as a service provider for investors who participate in the Offering (“Investors”).
Now, Therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1.Appointment, Term, and Termination
a.Client hereby engages and retains Cultivate to provide operations and compliance services at Client’s discretion.
b.The Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will remain in effect for a period of twelve (12) months and will renew automatically for successive renewal terms of twelve (12) months each unless any party provides notice to the other party of non-renewal at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the current term. If Client defaults in performing the obligations under this Agreement, the Agreement may be terminated (i) upon sixty (60) days written notice if Client fails to perform or observe any material term, covenant or condition to be performed or observed by it under this Agreement and such failure continues to be unremedied, (ii) upon written notice, if any material representation or warranty made by either Provider or Client proves to be incorrect at any time in any material respect, (iii) in order to comply with a Legal Requirement, if compliance cannot be timely achieved using commercially reasonable efforts, after providing as much notice as practicable, or (iv) upon thirty (30) days’ written notice if Client or Cultivate commences a voluntary proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief, or is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or has entered against it a final and unappeable order for relief, under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or either party executes and delivers a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors. The description in this section of specific remedies will not exclude the availability of any other remedies. Any delay or failure by Client to exercise any right, power, remedy or privilege will not be construed to be a waiver of such right, power, remedy or privilege or to limit the exercise of such right, power, remedy or
2
privilege. No single, partial or other exercise of any such right, power, remedy or privilege will preclude the further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. All terms of the Agreement, which should reasonably survive termination, shall so survive, including, without limitation, limitations of liability and indemnities, and the obligation to pay Fees relating to Services provided prior to termination.
0.Xxxxxxxx. Cultivate will perform the services listed on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, in connection with the Offering (the “Services”) unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties.

As additional compensation for the Services, Client shall grant to Cultivate five-year warrants to acquire for an exercise price of $0.00, a number of Class C shares equal to 3% of the aggregate amount raised by the Client.

LLC (the "Holder") or its assignees are entitled to subscribe for and purchase from Armed Forces Brewing Company, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (the "Company") its successors or assigns, at any time after the date hereof and on or before the close of business on the five year anniversary of the qualification date of the Company's Regulation A offering by the Securities and Exchange Commission (unless this Warrant is earlier terminated pursuant to Section 11), 12,000 shares (which number of shares is subject to adjustment as described below) of fully paid and non-assessable Class C Common Stock of the Company (the "Warrant Shares") upon surrender hereof at the principal office of the Company and, at the election of the Holder hereof, upon either (i) payment of the purchase price at said office in cash or by check, (ii) the cancellation of any present or future indebtedness from the Company to the holder hereof in a dollar amount equal to the purchase price of the Class C Common Stock for which the consideration is being given, or (iii) tender of a notice as provided in the net issue exercise provisions of Section 6(b) hereof subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided, the purchase price of one share of Class C Common Stock (or such securities as may be substituted for one share of Class C Common Stock pursuant to the provisions hereinafter set forth shall be $0.00. The purchase price of one share of Class C Common Stock (or such securities as may be substituted for one share of Class C Common Stock pursuant to the provisions hereinafter set forth) payable from time to time upon the exercise of this Warrant (whether such price be the price specified above or an adjusted price determined as hereinafter provided) is referred to herein as the "Warrant Price."
The number of shares of Class C Common stock above has been determined by multiplying the amount raised in Armed Forces Brewing Company Inc.’s Regulation A offering times 3% pursuant to the Broker-Dealer Services Agreement dated on or about April 18, 2023, then dividing that number by $12.50, the offering price of the Class C Common shares in the Regulation A offering.
16
For the avoidance of doubt, this Warrant may be exercised for $0.00 per share of Class C Common stock.
2.Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Shares. The number and kind of securities issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:
(a)Adjustment for Dividends in Stock or Other Securities or Property. In case at any time or from time to time on or after the date hereof the holders of the Class C Common Stock of the Company (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received, or, on or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible securityholders, shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor, other or additional stock or other securities or property (other than cash) of the Company by way of dividend, then and in each case, the holder of this Warrant shall, upon the exercise hereof, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of shares of Class C Common Stock receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration there for, the amount of such other or additional stock or other securities or property (other than cash) of the Company which such holder would hold on the date of such exercise had it been the holder of record of such Class C Common Stock on the date hereof and had thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other additional stock available by it as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period by paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 2.
(b)Adjustment for Reclassification, Reorganization or Merger. In case of any reclassification or change of the outstanding securities of the Company or of any reorganization of the Company (or any other corporation the stock and securities of which are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) or any similar corporate reorganization on or after the date hereof, then and in each such case the holder of this Warrant, upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such reclassification, change, reorganization, merger or conveyance, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise hereof prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which such holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto , all subject to further adjustment as provided in paragraphs (a) and (c); and in each such case, the terms of this Section 2 shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities properly receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consummation.
(c)Stock Splits and Reverse Stock Splits. If at any time on or after the date hereof the Company shall subdivide its outstanding shares of Class C Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall thereby be proportionately reduced and the number of shares receivable upon exercise of the Warrant shall thereby be proportionately increased; and, conversely, if at any time on or after the date hereof the outstanding number of shares of Class C Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall thereby be proportionately increased and the number of shares receivable upon exercise of this Warrant shall thereby be proportionately decreased.
3. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Class C Common Stock will be issued in connection with any exercise hereunder.

6.Exercise of Warrant.
(a)Method of Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder hereof, in whole or in part and from time to time, by the surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, accompanied by payment to the Company, by check, of an amount equal to the then applicable Warrant Price per share multiplied by the number of shares of Class C Common Stock then being purchased. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above, and the person entitled to receive the shares of Class C Common Stock issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the Holder of such shares of record as of the close of business on such date.

(iii)In the event the holder elects to exercise the Warrant without use of the net issue right set forth in Section 6(b)(i), the Company shall have the option to not accept cash from the holder and in lieu thereof issue shares pursuant to the net issue formula set forth above.
7.Certificate of Adjustment. Whenever the Warrant Price or number or type of securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall promptly deliver to the record holder of this Warrant a certificate of an officer of the Company setting forth the nature of such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

10.Securities Law. As a condition to exercise of this Warrant, Holder shall be required to make such representations and warranties and execute such documents as reasonably requested by the Company in order for the Company to perfect an exemption from the registration and qualification requirements of applicable securities laws.
11. Termination.
