In the event that the Transaction is not consummated for any reason, neither the determination of the Earn-Out Amount nor the Earn-Out Cancellation granted herein shall be binding on the Parties.

b. The Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that Seller has fully satisfied any obligations under Section 2.06 of the 2021 SPA and that none of the Buyer Parties are owed any remaining amounts under such section.

c. Each of the Buyer Parties here acknowledges and agrees that (i) each of the Buyer and the Buyer Parties is benefitting from the Earn-Out Cancellation; and (ii) the Earn-Out Cancellation is good, valid, and sufficient consideration for the Transaction.

2. Buyer Party Release. As partial consideration for the Earn-Out Cancellation, each Buyer Party hereby irrevocably releases and discharges Seller and its predecessors, successors, and assigns, and each of their respective past, present, and future stockholders, officers, directors, employees, affiliates, and representatives from any and all claims, contingent or otherwise, that such Buyer Party has or had or could have asserted at any time prior to the date hereof with respect to the 2021 SPA or any other documents or agreements entered into in connection therewith.

3. Seller Release. As partial consideration for the Earn-Out Cancellation, the Seller hereby irrevocably releases and discharges each Buyer Party and its predecessors, successors, and assigns, and each of their respective past, present, and future stockholders, officers, directors, employees, affiliates, and representatives from any and all claims, contingent or otherwise, that the Seller has or had or could have asserted at any time prior to the date hereof with respect to the 2021 SPA or any other documents or agreements entered into in connection therewith.

4. Beneficial Ownership of Buyer. Each Buyer Party hereby represents and warrants to Seller that such Buyer Party is a beneficial owner of Buyer and will directly benefit from the Transaction and all consideration payable in connection therewith.

This Agreement, together with the Stock Purchase Agreement dated January 11, 2023 to consummate the Transaction, constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and shall supersede all previous negotiations, commitments and writings with respect to such subject matter.

6. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles.

7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same.
