This Agreement confirms the commercial structure of the business transaction between Clear-Lite Holdings, Inc. (“Parent”) and TAG Industries, Inc.

This Agreement will run for a period of three (3) years from the Effective Date for all products presently sourced by the Company with its existing suppliers, or any new suppliers that TAG might source, with the approval of the Company. It is understood that from the Effective Date, and for a period of three (3) years, TAG will exclusively manage all the sourcing of the environmental bag products, presently sold by the Company.
1. Purchase Orders. Purchase orders will be issued in the normal course of business. It is estimated that this volume will be $20,0000,000 over the three (3) year agreement.
2. Wholesale Business Costing. The Company will provide TAG with its target wholesale pricing prior to the Effective Date for all products, along with all product specifications.
3. Order Financing/Mechanics. The Company will provide and guarantee to TAG with the necessary financing required for the orders placed, as specified by the supplier, and mutually approved by the Company and TAG.

5. Consideration. As consideration for the three (3) year contract to TAG, Parent will provide the Company or the Unitholder, as specified by the Unitholder, with 2,000,000 shares of restricted common stock upon the signing of the final Agreement. It is understood that the estimated amount of purchase orders would be no less than $20,000,000 at wholesale value, over the term of this Agreement. Should the value of the shares be less then the margin allocation provided to TAG for its exclusive services, the Parent will provide a “make-whole” of the difference through the issuance of new stock from its treasury.
