WHEREAS, beginning on December 6, 2021, the Company and the Holder (and certain other parties) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “December SPA” and together with the August SPA, the “SPAs”) pursuant to which the Company issued to the Holder shares of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred”) and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock as set forth on Schedule A (the “December Warrants” and together with the August Warrants, the “Warrants”);
WHEREAS, on March 20, 2022, the Holder exercised (the “Warrant Exercise”) a portion of the December Warrants for $900,000.00 and was issued 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Exercise Shares”).
WHEREAS, a dispute has arisen between the Company and the Holder regarding the Warrant Exercise.
With this background incorporated herein, the parties hereby agree to the following settlement:

Subject to the Purchasers’ providing customary representations letter, the Company, at its expense, shall provide any legal opinions necessary for the transfer agent to remove the legend and for Holder to sell the Conversion Shares pursuant to any applicable exemption from registration or safe harbor.
2. The Company acknowledges that the only consideration for the issuance of the Note was the Exercise Shares.
3. Upon issuance of the Note, the Holder waives any claims arising form the Warrant Exercise.
