As such, from and after the date hereof, the number of shares underlying the Warrant shall be increased to 362,500 (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Warrant) and all references in the Warrant to the Warrant Shares shall mean 362,500 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Warrant).

As a result of the Warrant Share Increase, you hereby agree to waive any rights to any adjustments to the Exercise Price or otherwise that may be applicable pursuant to Section 4 of the Warrant as a result of the issuance of the Settlement Shares pursuant to the Settlement Agreement (the "Waiver").
