6. RELEASE FROM CONTROL ACCOUNT.

(a) Within two (2) Business Days of the later to occur of (i) the Initial Closing and (ii) the closing of the Private Offering, the Holder shall, provided there is not then an Event of Default or event that with the passage of time or giving of notice would constitute an Event of Default, release $4,000,000 from the Control Account to the Company.

(b) As set forth in the notification received by the Company from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on January 4, 2023 (“Nasdaq Letter”), the Company is noncompliant with Nasdaq’s Listing Rules. Within two (2) Business Days of the date the Company is notified in writing by Nasdaq that it has regained full, unqualified compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rules (the “Nasdaq Compliance”), the Holder shall, provided there is not then an Event of Default or event that with the passage of time or giving of notice would constitute an Event of Default, release an additional $1,000,000 from the Control Account to the Company.

(c) On the thirtieth (30^th) calendar day following the Nasdaq Compliance or, if such date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the next day that is a Business Day, the Holder shall, provided there is not then an Event of Default or event that with the passage of time or giving of notice would constitute an Event of Default, release an additional $1,000,000 from the Control Account to the Company; provided, that the Company shall have filed with the SEC the Definitive Proxy Statement for the Stockholder Meeting.

(d) On the thirtieth (30^th) calendar day following the cash release described in the immediately preceding clause (c), or, if such date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the next day that is a Business Day, the Holder shall, provided there is not then an Event of Default or event that with the passage of time or giving of notice would constitute an Event of Default, release an additional $1,000,000 from the Control Account to the Company.

11

(f) In no event shall any cash released from the Control Account be used by the Company to (i) pay any termination or similar fees or (ii) reimburse legal fees or expenses to any investor other than the Holder or any purchaser party to the Private Offering SPA.

(g) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this Section 6 supersedes any prior agreement between the Company and the Holder regarding the release of cash from the Control Account.

7. Acknowledgement and Forbearance of Event of Default.

(a) The Company hereby acknowledges its failure to pay quarterly Interest on the July Note in the amount of $299,850 that became due and payable on October 1, 2022 (the “Specified Event of Default”) and that the Specified Event of Default would permit the Holder to, among other things, (i) demand the Company make payment to the Holder of any amount due, or to become due, under the July Note, (ii) continue to charge Interest at the Default Rate in accordance with the July Note, (iii) redeem the entire outstanding Conversion Amount of the July Note, (iv) commence any legal or other action to collect any or all of the amounts owed under the July Note from the Company or any Collateral, (v) exercise any secured creditor remedies that Holder may have, including, without limitation, by foreclosing or otherwise realizing upon any or all of the Collateral and or setting off and applying any deposits or other amounts or proceeds of Collateral to the payment of any or all of the Company’s obligations under the July Note, and (vi) take any other enforcement action or otherwise exercise any or all rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided for by any or all of the Documents or applicable law or equity (all of the foregoing, the “Remedies”).

(b) Notwithstanding the occurrence of the Specified Event of Default, effective upon the Additional Closing, the Holder hereby agrees to (i) forbear from exercising any of the Remedies, including, for the avoidance of doubt, charging additional Interest at the Default Rate, solely with respect to the Specified Event of Default and (ii) extinguish all Interest, including, for the avoidance of doubt, additional Interest at the Default Rate, owed and outstanding as of the date hereof.

8. TERMINATION.

In the event that the Initial Closing shall not have occurred by on or before five (5) Business Days from the date hereof, other than due to the Holder’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 4 hereof, the Holder shall have the option to terminate this Agreement at the close of business on such date without liability of any party to any other party. Upon such termination, the terms hereof shall be null and void.

12

9. MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) 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 New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder 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 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 IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party; provided that a facsimile signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original, not a facsimile signature.

(c) Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.

(d) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement 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).
