IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE TWENTIETH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT IN AND FOR COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA CIVIL ACTION Jake P Noch Jake P. Noch Family Office, Llc Plaintiff(s), vs. Music Licensing, Inc. Defendant(s). STANDING ORDER IN CIRCUIT CIVIL CASES IN THE TWENTIETH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT PURSUANT to Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.200(a), Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.545, and Administrative Order 1.13 entered by the Chief Judge of this Circuit, the parties are ordered to adhere to the following information and procedures applicable to civil lawsuits: 1. SERVICE OF THIS ORDER. The Plaintiff is directed to serve a copy of this Order with each Summons issued in this case. One copy of this Order is to be filed with the Clerk of the Circuit Court with proof of service. The Plaintiff shall pay the appropriate statutory clerk's fees on copies for each Standing Order issued and attached to the Summons. 2. CIVIL CASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. The Supreme Court of Florida has established guidelines for the prompt processing and resolution of civil cases. This Court has adopted a case management system to help meet those guidelines. In contested cases (other than residential foreclosures, involuntary commitment of sexually violent predators, Extraordinary Writs, 90 day Notice of Medical Malpractice Claim, and Administrative Appeals), the parties are required to participate in the case management system. The Court will issue a Case Management Plan after 150 days of the filing of a case in the event the parties have not submitted an Agreed Case Management Plan that has been approved by the Court. However, if it becomes necessary to amend the court - issued Case Management Plan, the parties may submit an Agreed Case Management Plan, subject to approval by the Court, or if the parties cannot agree on an Amended Plan, the parties may request a case management conference. The form of the Agreed Case Management Plan may be accessed at the Court's website at: http://www.ca.cjis20.org/web/main/civil.asp . If a case management conference is scheduled, attendance by trial counsel and those parties who are not represented by counsel is mandatory. Unless all of the Defendants have been served and have defaulted, an Agreed Case Management Plan will be submitted to the Civil Case Manager via email at collieragreedplan@ca.cjis20.org on or before 150 days from the date of filing the initial complaint. 3. ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION (ADR). ADR provides parties with an out - of - court alternative to settling disagreements. The Court requires the parties to CASE NO: 11 - 2023 - CA - 003193 - 0001 - XX
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/1-U/0001213900-24-063205/ex3a-1_027.jpg)
participate in ADR prior to trial. Mediation is mandatory unless the parties agree to another form of ADR. Mediation is a conference at which an independent third party attempts to arrange a settlement between the parties. The Court, at its discretion, may order the case be referred to Non - Binding Arbitration. Non - Binding Arbitration is the process in which the court refers a case to a registered arbitrator, or panel of arbitrators, who will hear evidence and make an award which may become a final judgment if a Motion for Trial De Novo is not timely filed pursuant to Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.820(h). 4. FAILURE TO PROSECUTE. The Court will issue a Notice of Intent to Dismiss a case if there is no record of activity within a ten (10) month period of time. 5. RULES OF PROFESSIONALISM. The Twentieth Judicial Circuit has adopted Administrative Order 2.20, which sets forth standards of professional courtesy and conduct for all counsel or pro - se litigants practicing within the Circuit. The Court requires that all familiarize themselves and comply with Administrative Order 2.20. Administrative Order 2.20 may be viewed on the Court's website at: http://www.ca.cjis20.org/web/main/ao admin.asp.

provides an exemption from the Act's registration requirements for certain securities exchanged as part of a settlement agreement . 4. For a 3 (a)( 10 ) settlement to be recognized, a fair hearing is generally required . This hearing is conducted to ensure that the terms of the transaction are fair to those who are exchanging their securities, claims, or interests . The hearing must be open to everyone to whom securities would be issued in the proposed transaction . 5. The fairness hearing must be conducted by a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized governmental entity .

See Securities Act of 1933 , Section 3 (a)( 10 ) 6. Without a fairness hearing, or if the hearing does not meet the standards set forth in the statute, the exemption under 3 (a)( 10 ) may not be enforceable . This could potentially open the door to regulatory action or legal challenges . 7. Defendant is unopposed as to the relief being sought. 8. Pursuant to Chapter 86 of the Florida Statutes, both parties request a hearing on the matter . WHEREFORE, based on the foregoing, Defendant, MUSIC LICENSING INC . , with the consent and agreement of Plaintiffs, JAKE P .

Plaintiffs own bona fide claims in excess of Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000.00) in annual salary and business expenses. Plaintiffs' agreement to settle those claims in exchange for unrestricted shares in Defendant's company is fair and equitable. Accordingly, the transaction in the Settlement Agreement of issuing unrestricted shares of Defendant to Plaintiffs to settle Plaintiffs' claims is approved. 6. The 3(a)10 settlement was done in good faith, and no parties were under duress or any negative influence to enter into this settlement agreement. 7. All parties’ Board of Directors was fully advised on the matters. 8. All persons to whom it is proposed to issue securities in exchange for bona fide claims pursuant to the settlement had the right to appear, no impediment to their right was found, and they were duly served with notice to this hearing for the entry of an Order determining the fairness of the terms and conditions of the settlement. 9. Having heard and been advised, The Court fully recognizes and enforces this settlement. Thus, this action is dismissed without prejudice, and the Court shall retain jurisdiction to enforce the settlement terms. DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers at Collier County, Florida.
