On March 29, 2020, the Board of Directors unanimously approved an extension to
Mr. Mathis' employment agreement with the Company, dated September 28, 2015 (the
"Employment Agreement") to expire on December 31, 2020. All other terms of the

payment of Mr. Mathis' cost of living salary adjustment of 3% for the years 2019
and 2020 to be paid in equal monthly installments beginning January 1, 2021,

Directors granted a retention bonus to Mr. Mathis that consists of the real
estate lot on which Mr. Mathis has been constructing a home at Algodon Wine
Estates, to vest in one-third increments over the next three years (the
"Retention Period"), provided Mr. Mathis's performance as an employee with the
Company continues to be satisfactory, as deemed by the Board of Directors. The
current market value of the lot is $115,000, and before ownership of the lot can
be transferred to Mr. Mathis, the Company must be legally permitted to issue a
deed for the property. Mr. Mathis is eligible to receive a pro-rata portion of
the bonus if his employment is terminated before the end of the Retention
Period.
