b. No later than the first business day following the date that the Court enters the Order, time being of the essence, Company shall: (i) cause its legal counsel to issue an opinion to Company’s transfer agent, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to CCI and such transfer agent, that the shares of Common Stock to be issued as the Initial Issuance and Additional Issuance (as defined below) and shares issued as a settlement fee are legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable, are exempt from registration under the Securities Act, may be issued without restrictive legend, and may be resold by CCI without restriction; (ii) transmit via email, facsimile and overnight delivery an irrevocable and unconditional instruction to Company’s stock transfer agent in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B; and (iii) issue and deliver to CCI Settlement Shares and settlement fee shares in one or more tranches as necessary, as Direct Registration Systems (DRS) shares to CCI’s account with the Depository Transfer Company (DTC) or through the Fast Automated Securities Transfer (FAST) program of DTC’s Deposit/Withdrawal Agent Commission (DWAC) system, without any legends or restrictions on transfer, sufficient to satisfy the compromised amount along with settlement fee shares, through the issuance of freely trading securities issued pursuant to Section 3(a)10 of the Securities Act.

c. During the Valuation Period, the Company shall deliver to CCI, through the Initial Issuance and any required Additional Issuance subject to paragraph 3(d), (e) and (f) herein that number of shares (the “Final Amount”) with an aggregate value equal to (A) the sum of the Claim Amount, divided by (B) the Purchase Price. The parties acknowledge that the number of Settlement Shares along with any settlement fee shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement is indeterminable as of the date of its execution, and could well exceed the current existing number of shares outstanding as of the date of its execution.
d. If at any time during the Valuation Period the Market Price is below 90% of the Market Price on the day before the Issuance Date, Company will immediately cause to be issued and delivered to CCI in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(b) herein, such additional shares as may be required to effect the purposes of this Settlement Agreement (each, an “Additional Issuance”), subject to the limitation in the paragraph below. At the end of the Valuation Period, if the sum of the Initial Issuance and any Additional Issuance is greater than the Final Amount, CCI shall promptly deliver any remaining shares to Company or its transfer agent for cancellation.
e. At the end of the Valuation Period, if the sum of the Initial Issuance and any Additional Issuance is greater than the Final Amount, CCI shall promptly deliver any remaining shares to Company or its transfer agent for cancellation.
f. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is the intention of the parties that the Settlement Shares along with settlement fee shares beneficially owned by CCI at any given time shall not exceed the number of such shares that, when aggregated with all other shares of Company then beneficially owned by CCI, or deemed beneficially owned by CCI, would result in CCI owning more than 4.99% of all of such Common Stock as would be outstanding on such date, as determined in accordance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder. In compliance therewith, the Company agrees to deliver the Initial Issuance and any Additional Issuances in one or more tranches.
