Pursuant to this Agreement, Taurus may not sell, pledge, hypothecate, sell short, loan, grant rights to, or otherwise dispose of, transfer, or encumber – directly or indirectly – any of its holdings of 166,000,000 shares of Blue Water common stock through March 31, 2015.

Blue Water's President and CEO, J. Scott Sitra, stated, "Given the significant progress we have achieved in recent months on all of our ongoing projects – Blue Water Bar & Grill™, Blue Water Ultra Premium Rum™, and Stream Flow Media, Inc. – we felt that this would be a good time to send a clear message to our shareholders and potential investors as to how optimistic we are about Blue Water's short-term positioning and long-term prospects. We don't think that there is a better way of sending such a message than by voluntarily locking up a substantial amount of Blue Water's outstanding shares."
