Section 1

Visitor Permit. Access to Próspera ZEDE (“Próspera ZEDE”) and its e-Gov Services under this permit is limited to visitation, consumption, contracting for consumption or personal use of goods and services offered by Regulated Industry Persons in Próspera ZEDE (such as medical and financial goods and services, among others), tourism, journalism, income-producing activities of less than $1,000.00 per month and less than $8,000.00 per year, as long as these are not performed in a systematic or permanent manner. For such purposes, subject to the applicable immigration laws of the Republic of Honduras, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the online posted terms of service for Próspera ZEDE e-Gov Services, Próspera ZEDE authorizes you personally, as a limited e-Resident Visitor, to access Próspera ZEDE a one (1) year period after the latest date of signature below (“Term”), as well as to use ancillary Próspera ZEDE e-Gov Services for the Term. In exchange, you promise to comply with this Agreement, the Penal Code of the Republic of Honduras, and the Próspera ZEDE Charter, Statutes, Regulations, Ordinances, and Resolutions, as amended from time to time, which are published at https://pzgps.hn/ (collectively “Próspera ZEDE Law”).

Under this permit you may not spend more than thirty (30) nights within Próspera ZEDE. Further, Regulated Industry Persons may not use this permit. At any time, with or without cause, and in their sole and absolute discretion, Próspera ZEDE or its delegate may restrict your access to Próspera ZEDE and its e-Gov Services or terminate this Agreement, whereupon Próspera ZEDE or its delegate may refuse to renew your access permit, deny you access to Próspera ZEDE and its e-Gov Services, as well as eject you and all of your movable or personal property from Próspera ZEDE (or otherwise cause such denial or ejection), among any other remedy authorized by Próspera ZEDE Law.

Section 3

Resident’s Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes. Except for claims and causes of action expressly excluded from arbitration by the Organic Law, the Resident and the Próspera ZEDE shall exclusively resort to, comply with and be subject to arbitration hereunder as the exclusive means of resolving any cause of action, dispute, controversy, or claim between or among the Resident, the Próspera ZEDE, the Próspera ZEDE Trust, the Próspera ZEDE General Service Provider, or any third party accepting the standing offer of Section 4 of this Contract, or their representatives, officers, agents, employees and affiliates, arising out of, relating to or connected with all or any part of this Contract, any subsequent amendment, modification or waiver of all or any part of this Contract, the Declaration, if any, Próspera ZEDE Law, and that of any other transactionally-related document, including, without limitation, any question in relation to or regarding this Contract’s formation, binding effect, interpretation, performance, violation, breach, existence, nullity, validity or termination, as well as any related non-contractual dispute, controversy or claim in accordance with articles 20, 21, 28, and 35 of the Organic Law, articles 9.02 and 11.03 of the Próspera ZEDE Charter, and the Próspera ZEDE Arbitration Statute 2019 as of the Effective Date, and any cause of action otherwise arising in connection with the exercise of rights, privileges or immunities under Próspera ZEDE Law.

  • (a) The arbitration required by this section shall be administered by the Próspera ZEDE default Arbitration Service Provider unless the dispute is (i) covered by a separate arbitration agreement selecting a different arbitration administrator or (ii) the Resident otherwise objects to the use of the default Arbitration Service Provider within seven (7) days after receiving notice of the filing of an arbitration demand. If the Resident objects to the use of the default Arbitration Service Provider as aforesaid, then the Resident and Próspera ZEDE agree to the International Centre for Dispute Resolution of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) serving as the arbitration administrator under this section.

Section 4

Standing Offer to Arbitrate. During the Residency Term, the Resident agrees to arbitrate any dispute with any third party arising from any cause of action arising from any act, omission, fact or event occurring within the boundaries of the Próspera ZEDE, or otherwise arising in connection with (a) the Resident acting in the disclosed capacity as a Resident or (b) the Resident’s exercise of rights, privileges or immunities under Próspera ZEDE Law, pursuant to the terms of subsections (a) through (d) of Section 1 of this Article (unless the Resident has verifiably contracted to use a different means of dispute resolution to fully and finally resolve the dispute with the relevant third party).

Section 6

Merger/Interpretation. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties relating to the subject matter addressed. No presumption shall favor either party in interpreting this Agreement.

RIDER TO THE AGREEMENT OF COEXISTENCE

WHEREAS the undersigned and Próspera ZEDE directly or through its General Services Provider, North Bay GSP, Inc., entered into an Agreement of Coexistence (“AOC”).

WHEREAS Próspera ZEDE and North Bay GSP, Inc. are currently in a state of legal uncertainty due to the ruling of unconstitutionality in case RI-0738-2021, which retroactively affects the ZEDE regime (the “Ruling”). As a result, the parties wish to ensure the continuity of operations and responsibilities originally assigned under Próspera ZEDE law and/or rules.

WHEREAS the parties to this Agreement of Coexistence seek to preserve the effectiveness and enforceability of rights, obligations, and governance structures within Próspera ZEDE, and to provide clarity and continuity in the administration of affairs within the system of the Zones of Employment and Economic Development (ZEDE).

The parties agree as follows for good and valuable consideration:

In the event that the Supreme Court denies the existence of the Próspera ZEDE with retroactive effect, the parties hereby agree that the following provisions shall retroactively apply to govern the necessary transitions within the Próspera ZEDE system. These provisions specifically pertain to the relationship established by the Agreement of Coexistence:

  • The AOC shall be construed and/or reformed to ensure that its terms and conditions are duly enforceable to the greatest extent consistent with the expressed intent of the parties.

  • Any reference to Próspera ZEDE law shall be construed as a reference to the rules published at https://pzgps.hn/, which are incorporated herein by reference, and which are chosen to govern this contract as its respective choice of law in accordance with Honduran national laws, permitting the parties to choose applicable law in a contract, and not as premised on the existence of the force of law by virtue of being a rule of Próspera ZEDE.

  • Any reference to the Próspera default Arbitration Service Provider shall be construed as a reference to the choice of Próspera Arbitration Center LLC, a Texas limited liability company, as the alternative dispute resolution service provider for this contract.

  • In the event that the AOC is classified under Honduran law as a “real” or “solemn” contract, the parties, in accordance with their obligations, shall take all necessary steps to perfect the real contract or complete any special formalities required for the solemn contract to produce its legal effects. These actions shall be completed within a reasonable timeframe, taking into account the usual time required to act under normal circumstances.

  • Próspera Foundation, S.A., a Honduran sociedad anónima corporation, shall be regarded as the successor entity to Próspera ZEDE in regard to all matters assigned to Próspera ZEDE under Próspera ZEDE laws and/or rules, with the exception of enforcing and administering public governmental authorities which relate to public policy fields exclusively occupied by Honduran national agencies or external municipalities prior to the enactment of the ZEDE Organic Law and Constitutional Amendments, such as: (a) Regulations promulgated pursuant to the grant of a petition for the adoption of optimal regulatory practices pursuant to the Próspera Industrial Regulation Statute, as amended from time to time, and related administrative actions promulgated under the authority of the Próspera Industrial Regulation Statute, as amended from time to time; (b) the Próspera Financial Responsibility Statute and Resolution, as amended from time to time, and related administrative actions promulgated thereunder, as applied to Regulated Industry Persons; (c) the Próspera Entity Registry Statute, as amended from time to time, and corresponding administrative provisions assigned to the Registrar under the Roatán Common Law Code, Chap. 7, § §3701 through 3710, relative to the formation, registration, maintenance, and dissolution of legal entities, (d) the Hazard Precaution Statute, as amended from time to time, as applied to Regulated Industry Persons; (e) the Coral Reef Protection Statute, as amended from time to time; (f) the Próspera Tax Statute, as amended from time to time, and related administrative actions promulgated thereunder (including binding practice notes and private rulings); (g) the Próspera Land Value Tax Resolution, as amended from time to time; (h) the Prospera Special District Attorney Resolution, as amended from time to time; (i) the Próspera MTC Retirement Resolution, as amended from time to time, (j) the Próspera Permit Resolution, as amended from time to time, (k) the Próspera Non-Regulated Industry Business Operation Permit Resolution, as amended from time to time; (l) the Resolution Authorizing MTC Token, as amended from time to time; (m) the Resolution Confirming Miscellaneous Petition Processing Authority of Próspera General Service Provider; (n) the Investment Promotion and Protection Statute, as amended from time to time; (o) Próspera Administrative Sanctions Statute, as amended from time to time; (p) the Próspera Labor Statute, as amended from time to time, and all administrative actions promulgated thereunder; (q) the Próspera Labor Statute Clarification Resolution, as amended from time to time; (r) the Resolution Exempting Highly Paid Employees from Overtime, as amended from time to time; (s) the Resolution Amending and Recodifying Interim Labor and Tax Exemption Resolution, as amended from time to time; and (t) the Próspera Police Department Resolution (collectively the “Reserved Authorities”). The Reserved Authorities are not among those held by Próspera Foundation, S.A., and to the extent they have lawful effect, they shall remain vested in Próspera ZEDE or its General Services Provider.

  • The Sole Administrator of Próspera Foundation, S.A. shall be regarded as the successor to the Próspera ZEDE's Technical Secretary, inheriting all relevant administrative duties and authority, except with respect to those arising from the Reserved Authorities, which, to the extent they have lawful effect, shall remain vested in the Technical Secretary.

  • The Board of Directors of Próspera Foundation, S.A. shall be regarded as the successor entity to the Próspera ZEDE's Council of Trustees, except with respect to those arising from the Reserved Authorities, which, to the extent they have lawful effect, shall remain vested in the Council of Trustees. The Board's corresponding committees shall be regarded as the successor committees to the Committees of Próspera ZEDE's Council of Trustees, except with respect to those arising from the Reserved Authorities, which, to the extent they have lawful effect, shall remain vested in the respective Committees of the Council of Trustees.

  • North Bay GSP LLC, a Wyoming (USA) limited liability company, shall be regarded as the successor entity to North Bay GSP Inc., which was organized as a ZEDE for-profit corporation, in regard to all matters assigned to the General Service Provider (GSP), except for those consisting of the enforcement or administration of the Reserved Authorities. The Reserved Authorities are not among those held by North Bay GSP LLC, and to the extent they have lawful effect, they shall remain vested in Próspera ZEDE or its General Services Provider, as may be determined by the governing General Services Agreement.

  • Prospera Insurance Company LLC, a Wyoming (USA) limited liability company, shall be regarded as the successor entity to Próspera Insurance Company LLC, which was originally organized as a ZEDE limited liability company.

  • Prospera Insurance Association LLC, a Wyoming (USA) limited liability company, shall be regarded as the successor entity of Próspera Insurance Association LLC, which was originally organized as a ZEDE limited liability company.

  • The parties agree that what is commonly known as the Próspera ZEDE Property Registry (https://prospera-sure.hn) will continue to operate as a private registry administered by North Bay GSP LLC as Registrar under the rules of the Land Title Law 2019 and Land Title Law 2019 Clarification Resolution, as amended from time to time, distinctly from the Property Institute of the Republic of Honduras. Registrations in the Próspera ZEDE Property Registry that affect title to real estate shall be construed as fully executed between the parties. The parties further agree that, in the event the State of Honduras does not recognize such contractual provision and/or the Próspera ZEDE law/rules that such provisions derive from, they will cooperate in accordance with this Rider to formalize such registrations as needed for enforcement under Honduran national law. Furthermore, the parties agree to execute any additional documents or take any necessary actions to propagate changes in rights and title into the Property Institute registry, if required to accomplish the objectives of this instrument. Alternatively, the parties may agree to transform the title deeds registered in the Próspera Property Registry into a private title granting the holder the right to use, enjoy, dispose, inhabit, occupy, operate, exploit and otherwise exercise any of the severed rights associated with the real property, in accordance with the Agreement of Coexistence. The UCC Sub-Registry shall remain effective, as a private non-governmental registry of legal relationships.

  • To the extent that their powers, authorities and privileges under the Rules of Próspera ZEDE are not recognized by Honduran national law, legal entities created under the Próspera ZEDE laws and/or rules are and shall be recognized as non-limited liability de facto or irregular companies, under article 1802 of the Civil Code, article 17 of the Code of Commerce, and articles 29.9 and/or 47 of the Tax Code of the Republic of Honduras, succeeding to all rights and duties with the capacity to enter into contracts, which include clauses providing for the limitation of liability, and the ability to sue and be sued.

  • However, notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, in the event the legal status of Próspera ZEDE reverts to its apparent status prior to the Ruling through settlement, legislative act, or otherwise the authorities assigned to Próspera ZEDE are vested in another entity capable of fulfilling its role as originally intended in the AOC, as determined by Honduras Próspera Inc. in its reasonable discretion, then this Rider shall be held void ab initio upon notice from Honduras Próspera Inc. to undersigned at its last known email address, whereupon the status, rights, obligations, and authorities of the parties and referenced entities shall revert to their apparent status prior to the Ruling or an appropriate successor entity, with the parties agreeing to execute any necessary legal instrument to accomplish this outcome.

  • The English translation of this Rider shall control the Spanish.
