The Company shall maintain the Common Stock’s listing or authorization for quotation (as the case may be) on the Principal Market, The New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Global Select Market (each, an “Eligible Market”).

14. Register; Transfer Agent Instructions; Legend.

14.1 Register. The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to each Holder of Securities), a register for the Rights in which the Company shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name the Rights have been issued (including the name and address of each transferee), the aggregate number of the Rights held by such Person, the number of Rights Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of the Rights held by such Person. The Company shall keep the register open and available at all times during business hours for inspection of the Holder or its legal representatives.

The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to Transfer Agent (the “Transfer Agent”) and any subsequent transfer agent in a form acceptable to each of the Holder (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”) to issue certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC, registered in the name of the Holder or its respective nominee(s), for the Rights Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Holder to the Company upon exercise of the Rights. The Company represents and warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 14.2, and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 4.8 hereof, will be given by the Company to the Transfer Agent with respect to the Securities, and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company, as applicable, to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Settlement Documents. If the Holder effects a sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities in accordance with Section 4.8, the Company shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct Transfer Agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Holder to effect such sale, transfer or assignment. In the event that such sale, assignment or transfer involves Rights Shares sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance with Rule 144, the Transfer Agent shall issue such shares to the Holder, assignee or transferee (as the case may be) without any restrictive legend in accordance with Section 14.4 below. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 14.2 will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 14.2, that the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall cause its counsel to issue the legal opinion referred to in the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions to the Transfer Agent on each Effective Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement).

If the Company fails, for any reason or for no reason, on or prior to the Required Delivery Date to issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) , either (I) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST or the applicable Holder Rights do not satisfy any Free Tradability Condition, to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate for the number of Holder Rights Shares to which the Holder is entitled and register such Holder Rights Shares on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST and the applicable Holder Rights satisfy one or more Free Tradability Conditions, to credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC for such number of Holder Rights Shares submitted for legend removal by the Holder pursuant to Section 14.4 above or (II) if after the initial Effective Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) the Registration Statement covering the resale of the Holder Rights Shares submitted for legend removal by the Holder pursuant to Section 14.4 above (the “Unavailable Shares”) is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Shares and the Company fails to promptly, but in no event later than as required pursuant to the Registration Holder Rights Agreement (x) so notify the Holder and (y) deliver the Holder Rights Shares electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of Holder Rights Shares submitted for legend removal by the Holder pursuant to Section 14.4 above to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system (the event described in the immediately foregoing clause (II) is hereinafter referred as a “Notice Failure” and together with the event described in clause (I) above, a “Delivery Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after the Share Delivery Date and during such Delivery Failure an amount equal to 1% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Required Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled, multiplied by (B) any trading price of the Common Stock selected by the Holder in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the date of the delivery by the Holder to the Company of the applicable Exercise Notice and ending on the applicable Required Delivery Date, and (Y) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Exercise Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of the applicable Holder Rights that have not been exercised pursuant to such Exercise Notice; provided that the voiding of an Exercise Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 14.5 or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Required Delivery Date either (I) the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST or the applicable Holder Rights do not satisfy any Free Tradability Conditions, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST and the applicable Holder Rights satisfy one or more Free Tradability Conditions, the Transfer Agent fails to credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder submitted for legend removal by the Holder pursuant to Section 14.4 above (ii) below or (II) a Notice Failure occurs, and if on or after such Required Delivery Date the Holder acquires shares of Common Stock (in an open market transaction, stock loan or otherwise) corresponding to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock submitted for legend removal by such Buyer by the Holder pursuant to Section 14.4 above that the Holder is entitled to receive from the Company and has not received from the Company in connection with such delivery or Notice Failure, as applicable (a “Buy-In”), then, in additional to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days (as defined in the Rights) after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, stock loan costs and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so acquired (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) or credit the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC for the number of Rights Shares which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise thereof (as the case may be)(and to issue such Right Shares) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to the Holder a certificates representing such Rights Shares or certificates or credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee, as applicable, with its obligations hereunder and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Holder Rights Shares multiplied by (B) the lowest Closing Sale Price (as defined in the Holder Rights) of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by the Holder to the Company of the applicable Exercise Notice and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this clause (ii). Nothing shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) upon exercise of the applicable Holder Rights as required pursuant to the terms hereof. In addition to the foregoing rights, (i) if the Company fails to deliver the applicable number of Right Shares upon an exercise pursuant to by the applicable Required Delivery Date, then the Holder shall have the right to rescind such exercise in whole or in part and retain and/or have the Company return, as the case may be, any portion of this Right that has not been exercised pursuant to such Exercise Notice; provided that the rescission of an exercise shall not affect the Company’s obligation to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 14.5 or otherwise, and (ii) if a registration statement covering the issuance or resale of the Right Shares that are subject to an Exercise Notice is not available for the issuance or resale, as applicable, of such Right Shares and the Holder has submitted an Exercise Notice prior to receiving notice of the non-availability of such registration statement and the Company has not already delivered the Right Shares underlying such Exercise Notice electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of Right Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit / Withdrawal At Custodian system, the Holder shall have the option, by delivery of notice to the Company, to rescind such Exercise Notice in whole or in part and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of the applicable Holder Right that has not been exercised pursuant to such Exercise Notice; provided that the rescission of an Exercise Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligation to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 14.5 or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any given Notice Failure and/or Delivery Failure, this Section 14.5 shall not apply to the applicable Holder the extent the Company has already paid such amounts in full to the Holder with respect to such Notice Failure and/or Delivery Failure, as applicable, pursuant to the analogous sections of the Holder Rights held by the Holder.

14.6 FAST Compliance. While any Holder Rights remain outstanding, the Company shall maintain a transfer agent that participates in FAST.

15. Termination. If the Transaction is not consummated on or prior to [___]¹, 2023, the Holder may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Reno and Company, and this Agreement shall thereafter be null and void, ab initio.

16. Miscellaneous.

16.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any purchasers of any of the Securities. Neither the Company nor Reno shall assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder, except in connection with a merger in which such entity is not the surviving entity (solely to the extent the Successor Entity (as defined in the Rights) complies in full with the terms and conditions of the Rights with respect thereto), without the prior written consent of the Required Holders (as defined below). The Holder may assign some or all of its rights hereunder in connection with any transfer of any of its Securities without the consent of Reno or the Company, in which event such assignee shall be deemed to be the Holder hereunder with respect to such assigned rights.

16.2 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. Each counterpart may be delivered by email (as a .pdf attachment) or facsimile transmission, and an emailed or faxed signature shall have the same force and effect as an original signature.

16.3 Entire Agreement; Amendments.

(a) This Agreement together with the other Settlement Documents, represents the entire agreement and understanding between the parties concerning the Transfer and Exchange and the other matters described herein and therein and supersedes and replaces any and all prior agreements and understandings solely with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

¹Insert 45 days following the signing date of this agreement.

(b) No provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company, Reno and the Required Holders (as defined below), and any amendment or waiver to any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 16.3(b) shall be binding on the Holder; provided that no such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it (A) applies to less than all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding, or (B) imposes any obligation or liability on the Holder without the Holder’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Xxxxxx’s sole discretion). Neither Reno nor the Company has, directly or indirectly, made any agreements with The Holders relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Settlement Documents except as set forth in the Settlement Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Company and Reno confirms that, except as set forth in this Agreement, no holder has made any commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide any financing to the Company, any Company Subsidiary, Reno, any Reno Subsidiary or otherwise. As a material inducement for the Holder to enter into this Agreement, each of the Company and Reno expressly acknowledges and agrees that (x) no due diligence or other investigation or inquiry conducted by the Holder, any of its advisors or any of its representatives shall affect the Holder’s right to rely on, or shall modify or qualify in any manner or be an exception to any of, the Company’s and Reno’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Settlement Document and (y) unless a provision of this Agreement or any other Settlement Document is expressly preceded by the phrase “except as disclosed in the SEC Documents,” nothing contained in any of the SEC Documents shall affect the Holder’s right to rely on, or shall modify or qualify in any manner or be an exception to any of, the Company’s or Reno’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Settlement Document. “Required Holders” means (I) prior to the Initial Closing Date, each of Keystone Capital Partners, LLC and Calvary Fund I, LP, and (II) on or after the Initial Closing Date, Keystone Capital Partners, LLC, as long as it (or any of its affiliates) holds any Holder Rights, and Calvary Fund I, LP, as long as it (or any of its affiliates) holds any Holder Rights, and thereafter, the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities as of such time (excluding any Registrable Securities held by the Company or any of its Company Subsidiaries as of such time) issued or issuable hereunder or pursuant to the Rights.

16.4 No Strict Construction; Currency. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement and the other Settlement Documents are in United States Dollars (“U.S. Dollars”), and all amounts owing under this Agreement and all other Settlement Documents shall be paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies (if any) shall be converted into the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount in accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. “Exchange Rate” means, in relation to any amount of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this Agreement, the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the relevant date of calculation.

16.5 Indemnification. (a) In consideration of the Holder’s execution and delivery of the Settlement Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Settlement Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Holder and each Holder of any Securities and all of their stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or any Company Subsidiary in any of the Settlement Documents, (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company or any Company Subsidiary contained in any of the Settlement Documents or (iii) any cause of action, suit, proceeding or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company or any Company Subsidiary) or which otherwise involves such Indemnitee that arises out of or results from (A) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of any of the Settlement Documents, (B) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, (C) any disclosure properly made by the Holder pursuant to Section 8 hereof, or (D) the status of the Holder or holder of the Securities either as an investor in the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Settlement Documents or as a party to this Agreement (including, without limitation, as a party in interest or otherwise in any action or proceeding for injunctive or other equitable relief). To the extent that the foregoing undertaking the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the mechanics and procedures with respect to the rights and obligations under this Section 16.5 shall be the same as those set forth in Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement.

(b) In consideration of the Holder’s execution and delivery of the Settlement Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Settlement Documents, Reno shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by Reno or any Reno Subsidiary in any of the Settlement Documents, (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Reno or any Reno Subsidiary contained in any of the Settlement Documents or (iii) any cause of action, suit, proceeding or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of Reno or any Reno Subsidiary) or which otherwise involves such Indemnitee that arises out of or results from (A) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of any of the Settlement Documents, (B) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, (C) any disclosure properly made by the Holder pursuant to Section 8 hereof, or (D) the status of the Holder or holder of the Securities either as an investor in Reno pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Settlement Documents or as a party to this Agreement (including, without limitation, as a party in interest or otherwise in any action or proceeding for injunctive or other equitable relief). To the extent that the foregoing undertaking Reno may be unenforceable for any reason, Reno shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the mechanics and procedures with respect to the rights and obligations under this Section 16.5 shall be the same as those set forth in Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement.

16.6 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any provision of law or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware. Reno and Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or under any of the other Settlement Documents or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company or Reno in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s and/or Reno’s obligations, as applicable, to the Holder or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Holder. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER EXCHANGE DOCUMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER EXCHANGE DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

16.7 Judgment Currency.

(a) If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against Reno and/or the Company, as applicable, in connection with this Agreement or any other Settlement Document in any court in any jurisdiction it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 16.7 referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in US Dollars under this Agreement, the conversion shall be made at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Trading Day immediately preceding:

(i) the date actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of New York or in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date: or

(ii) the date on which the foreign court determines, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 11.7(a)(ii) being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”).

(b) If in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 16.6 above, there is a change in the Exchange Rate prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the applicable party shall pay such adjusted amount as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of US Dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.

16.8 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be declared or determined by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected or impaired thereby so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

16.9 Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by electronic mail (provided that such sent email is kept on file (whether electronically or otherwise) by the sending party and the sending party does not receive an automatically generated message from the recipient’s email server that such e-mail could not be delivered to such recipient); or (iii) one (1) Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service with next day delivery specified, in each case, properly addressed to the party to receive the same.

16.10 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each Other Holder of the Other Agreements of such Other Holders (the “Effective Time”).

16.11 Independent Nature of Xxxxxx’s Obligations and Rights. The obligations of the Holder under this Amendment or any other Settlement Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any Other Holder, and the Holder shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Holder under any Settlement Document or Other Agreement. Nothing contained herein or in any Other Agreement or any other Settlement Document, and no action taken by the Holder pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holder and Other Holder as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investor and Other Holder are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any Other Agreement or any other Settlement Document and Reno and Company acknowledges that the Holders are not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any Other Agreement and any other Settlement Document. Reno, Company and the Holder confirm that the Holder has independently participated in the negotiation of the transactions contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. The Holder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement, any Other Agreement or out of any other Settlement Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

16.12 Most Favored Nation. Reno and Company hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and covenants and agrees from and after the date hereof that none of the terms offered to any Other Holder (or any assignee thereof) with respect to any consent, release, amendment, settlement or waiver relating to the terms, conditions and transactions contemplated hereby, is or will be more favorable to such Other Holder than those of the Holder and this Agreement (each a “Settlement Document”). If, and whenever on or after the date hereof, Reno and/or Company enters into a Settlement Document, then (i) Reno and/or Company shall provide notice thereof to the Holder immediately following the occurrence thereof and (ii) the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable Securities (other than any limitations on conversion or exercise set forth therein) shall be, without any further action by the Holder or Reno, automatically amended and modified in an economically and legally equivalent manner such that the Holder shall receive the benefit of the more favorable terms and/or conditions (as the case may be), provided that upon written notice to Reno and/or Company at any time the Holder may elect not to accept the benefit of any such amended or modified term or condition, in which event the term or condition contained in this Agreement or the applicable Securities (as the case may be) shall apply to the Holder as it was in effect immediately prior to such amendment or modification as if such amendment or modification never occurred with respect to the Holder. The provisions of this Section 16.12 shall apply similarly and equally to each Settlement Document.

16.13 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.

16.14 Headings. Section and subsection headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

16.15 Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

16.16 Amendments. This Agreement may not be modified, amended or supplemented, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement may not be waived, except by a written agreement executed by each Party. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising on the part of the Holder of any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege.

16.17 Remedies. The Holder and in the event of assignment by the Holder of its rights and obligations hereunder, each Holder of Securities, shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Settlement Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Each of the Company and Reno therefore agrees that the Holder shall be entitled to specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. The remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Settlement Documents shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement and the other Settlement Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief).

16.18 Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Settlement Documents, whenever the Holder exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Settlement Document and the Company, any Company Subsidiary, Reno or any Reno Subsidiary does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then the Holder may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any Company Subsidiary, Reno or any Reno Subsidiary (as the case may be), any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

16.19 Survival. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants shall survive the Closing. The Holder shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.

Reference is hereby made to (a) that certain Settlement Agreement, dated [____, 2023], by and between the TraqIQ, Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”), Renovare Environmental, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Reno”), and the undersigned (the “Holder”, collectively with Reno and the Company, the “Parties”, and each individually, a “Party”) (the “Settlement Agreement”), pursuant to which the Holder agreed to execute and deliver to each of Reno and the Company this release (the “Release”) in exchange for the transfer of the Holder Rights (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) to the Holder (the “Transfer”) and (b) that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated December 30, 2022, among Reno and its wholly-owned subsidiary BioHiTech America, LLC (“BHT”, and together with Reno, the “Sellers”) and the Company whereby the Company acquired from Reno and BHT certain assets related to the Sellers business and assumption of certain of the Sellers’ liabilities (the “Asset Sale”). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning as set forth in the Settlement Agreement.

WHEREAS, Reno and the Company each desire to obtain this Release from the Holder with respect to the Claimed Breach and any other breach of the Existing Securities and/or the Existing Agreements, as applicable arising on or prior to the date hereof (or outstanding as of the date hereof) with respect to the Claimed Breach (the “Released Claims”), effective upon the consummation of the Transfer and the payment of the Legal Fee Amount (the “Effective Time”); and

WHEREAS, all capitalized terms not defined in this Release shall have the meaning as set forth in the Settlement Agreement.
