Karen,
I iteed to darify my position with respect toKSB. As I mentioned before I have suspended allwork concerning KBB
urttil l have a document detailing my shares in the company. This suspension of work also covers any meetings. I can'tcan'
continue to spend personal funds withouta clarification of my ownership.
I also don't understand what there is to talk about on this issue. This matter was settled for me with your email of Oct
22, 2015. Because of my respect for you as a person, I considered your word as gospel since you are the CEO of the
company.
At this point the 5% is non-negotiable. So given that, can we resolve this and remove this from the agenda? If there
are other items to be discussed at the meeting that I need to be involved in, please let me know what they are.
I hoped you didn't change the meeting on my account, as I have other project meetings set for Monday and Tuesday.
I await your reply/decision about my share document.
Best Regards,
James W. Thomas II (Jim)

!Karen,
tI'm going to have to disagree with you about the timeframe. Please see below:
1) Oct 22, 2015 Karen and Damani offered 5% which I accepted. I waited for a document to this effectuntil January 4, 2016
I2) On January
4th I requested a doc and you said you would provide a doc.
3) January 8, I asked again. At that time I asked if there was a problem and you said there was none.You stated you would be working on it over the weekend.
4) On January13th I asked again and you said I would have something by Friday January
15th15'".
5) On January13th you wrote back "the new entity isn't organized yet. I'm awaiting for an update on
that, so I'll let you know in the upcoming days when it's done."
6) On the conference call on January 14th, you told Gordon the new entity had been formed.

7) January15th I suspended work. It seemed like I was getting the run around.
I
8) Today is January 20 and still nothing. I am only requesting a document stating what you have
already indicated in your email on Oct 22, 2015.
Below is something that I was expecting which should not take that long to do:
1, Karen Tappin, CEO and President of Karen's Body Beautiful, LLC hereby/grants James W. Thomas IIfive percent shares in Karen's Body Beautiful, LLC or any organization that Karen's Body Beautifultransitioned into. These share are for accounting working preformed during the time period September 1thru December 31, 2015 as the company's CFO and are not revocable. When the new company is fullyformed, actual stock certificates can be provided at that time.
This document should be notarized and signed by both Karen and Damani.t
I don't understand the holdup. This is a business agreement based upon me providing a business
service. I have worked on the company's business since early September 2015. I have spent mypersonal funds to travel to New York and to Charlotte, NC.
t
I would like to get past this as soon as possible as there is a lot more work to be done but I need a
simple document from you.

Mr. Thomas, actually it's disappointing that you are choosing to"suspend"
working on KBB, which onlyhurts the company. Your request is only a week old, I informed you several times that I was working on itand re at our most critical point in the survival of the company. There's a lot going on; in the pastweek, Judy resigned, Lavaisa, our Brand Manager is returning to college today, Nastacia is being trainedto assume Judy's position and I have my regular tasks to take care of. When Damani returns fromBarbados on Monday, he'll review the doc and I'll send it to you.

Mg.'Mr. Thomas .Regarding your stake, Damani and I have decided to offer you a firm 5% We think 5% would be fair since you recentlyjoined KBB and you haven't invested any cash in the company. When re financially able, all four of us willtake a
addition to our points.
Also, about your ask for a temporary salary, unfortunately we won't be able to do it. Right now, as it is, we struggle tomake payroll every week and we pay the factory staff, later and later, almost every week. On a few occasions, Carol haseven advanced payroll out of her own savings. Damani and I have been suffering it out since he resigned in 2012 andhe's still continuing to invest his pension in the business.

Karen/Damani,
I understand andthanks for the offer of 5%. I could live with that. Unfortunately as 1 mentioned before, I had a
window to Work on this and that window is closing. That is part of the reason I was pushing so hard to get the data to
me. I now have to move on to a paying situation. I'rp ri@tupset with you guys, it Just that I can't afford to continue to
for no pay. I'm sure you can understand that. Let's discuss how I can give you.what I have worked on so maybe
someone else can complete the work.
I would mention one item that I disagree with. I have worked on this project for about 7 weeks without pay which
does equate to cash in the business.
Let me know when you have time to chat so we can review where we stand with the financials. We can spend some
time chatting about each step and what else needs to be done.
I've enjoyed working on this and wish you guys every success.
Best Regards,
James W. Thomas II (Jim)

II Karen,
;, I need to plan my day. When did you want to do a conference call and who would be on the call? Do we'
really need a call? Why not just email what it is you have to chat about? It might save some time.
