In connection with the foregoing transactions, the board of directors
appointed Stephen H. Watkins, the manager of Entrex, as a director of
the Company. The Company will enter into an indemnification agreement
with Mr. Watkins, pursuant to which the Company will indemnify, and
advance expenses to, Mr. Watkins to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law.
The Contribution Agreement

Assets to the Joint Venture. The Joint Venture did not assume
any of the liabilities of Entrex. In consideration for the
contribution, the Joint Venture:

of the cash consideration. If the Joint Venture defaults on any
such payment (subject to a grace period and certain other limitations)
and for so long as the default is continuing, the entire amount of
the cash consideration will become immediately due and payable, and
Entrex will have the right to foreclose on its lien. In addition,
Entrex will have the right to repurchase the Assets from the
Joint Venture for a nominal purchase price.

has one vote on all actions considered by the board, and any action must
be approved by a majority vote of the managers.

provides for indemnification of such persons to fullest extent permitted
by law, in the event any such person becomes subject to losses by reason
of any act or omission in connection with the business of the Joint Venture,
or the fact that such person was serving as a member, manager or officer of
the Joint Venture or in a similar role with another entity at the request of
the Joint Venture, subject to certain limitations.
Membership interests may not be transferred other than to a controlled
affiliate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any member receives an offer
from a third party that such member desires to accept to transfer all or
any portion of the membership interest owned by it, then Entrex (in the
case the Company is the recipient of such an offer) or the Company (in
the case Entrex is the recipient of such an offer) or both of them (in the
case another member is the recipient of such an offer) will have a right of
first refusal to purchase the membership interests on the terms of the third
party offer. In addition, at any time after the Joint Venture has achieved
EBITDA of $15,000,000 or more for any trailing 12 month period, the Company
will have the option to purchase Entrexs membership interest for a price
equal to a multiple of the trailing 12 month EBITDA. The multiple will be
eighty five percent of the customary multiple in the Joint Ventures industry,
as determined by Supermajority Approval, but will not be less than 11.6.
In either case, the purchase price of the membership interests may be paid in
cash, in publicly traded securities, or a combination thereof.
Each of the Company, and Entrex agreed to certain provisions protecting the
confidentiality of the Joint Ventures information, and certain restrictions
on competing with the Joint Venture or each other and on soliciting the
Joint Ventures employees or customers.
The Joint Venture will be dissolved and liquidated upon the occurrence of
certain customary events or on December 31, 2029, unless Entrex and the
Company agree to the continuation of the Joint Venture.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Entrex Capital Market executes Letter of Intent
with Universal Solar Technology creating Carbon Trading Market
Boca Raton, Fl. April 17, 2019: The Entrex Capital Market joint venture
with Long Blockchain (OTC:LBCC) is pleased to announce the execution of
a Material Definitive Agreement through an executed Letter of Intent to
create a joint venture to establish a Carbon Trading market with
Universal Solar Technology (OTC:UNSS). The joint venture will use
Entrexs blockchain enabled technology platform to trade carbon credits,
carbon offsets and other environmental securitized product. The platform
would allow credits, offsets and other environment products to be found,
researched, track, managed and traded via regulated entities through
a compliant platform. Entrex shareholders will receive twenty percent
of the joint ventures revenues up to $31,000,000 distributed on a monthly
basis and will own forty percent of the equity of the entity. Universal
will invest $4,000,000 in in cash for forty percent of the joint venture
founding equity. Stephen H. Watkins, CEO of Entrex, is expected to join
the UNSS Board of Directors. Universal also has a minimum buyout option
which allows it to purchase all remaining equity holders shares based on a
minimum of 11.6 times a minimum trailing twelve month EBITDA of $15,000,000
resulting in a minimum enterprise value of $174,000,000. This valuation
is expected to be fifteen percentbelow market comparables providing
Universal an estimated $30,000,000 in additional market valuation when
and if the option is exercised.
We see companies and consumers interested in carbon neutrality and believe
we can use our proven, blockchain enabled, platform for producers to
efficiently list carbon products while providing buyers access to
industry compliant products said Stephen H. Watkins, CEO of the
new joint venture. This is a tremendous transaction for UNSS and our
investors said Paul D. Landrew, CEO of Universal Solar. We expect the
trading market to propel UNSS into a leadership position in the sector,
utilizing the proven technology created by the Entrex team but also
gives the ability to buy out the equity owners providing even more
anticipated value for our shareholders.
Andrew Shape, CEO of Long Blockchain suggests; Our partnership with
Entrex has facilitated Long Blockchains transition into the blockchain
industry by leveraging Entrexs proven blockchain-enabled
technology platform. Together, we will seek to scale the platform across
a range of industries and types of assets. We expect this transaction
to provide nearly $3 million in cash-flow from the revenue participation
certificate and an additional $6.9 million for
the LBCC shareholders if UNSS executes their buy-out option.
