WHEREAS, certain disputes have arisen between Buyer and Seller Parties, including with respect to the post-Closing terminations of employment of former Buyer employees Mike McElherne, Natalie Forward, and Kirsten Neuman, (the “Disputes”);

WHEREAS, to avoid the time and expense of legal proceedings, the Parties have reached an agreement in full and final settlement of all claims and causes of action that the parties may have asserted against each other in connection with the Disputes, including any alleged violations of the APA; and

WHEREAS, the Parties also desire to agree to $52,117 as the Final Closing Working Capital/Final Excess as required by Section 2.08 of the APA.

(b) Promissory Note.

(ii) Buyer will satisfy the remaining balance of principal and interest due under the Promissory Note by paying to the Shareholders’ Representative (for further distribution to the shareholders of Seller), beginning on May 1, 2022, monthly payments of principal and interest in accordance with the amortization schedule set forth on Exhibit B (the "Amortization Schedule").

(iii) If Buyer makes a lump sum pre-payment of $1,250,000 or more (the "Pre-Payment”) on or before June 1, 2022, then, upon written request from Buyer, the Shareholders' Representative will execute a mutually agreeable subordination agreement (a "Subordination Agreement") in favor of Buyer's lender ("Senior Lender") subordinating all remaining amounts due under the Promissory Note to Senior Lender, provided that, such Subordination Agreement must permit Buyer to make regularly scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Promissory Note (so long as Buyer is not in default under its loan agreement with Senior Lender) in amounts no less than the amounts set forth in the Amortization Schedule.

(iv) If Seller assigns the Promissory Note consistent with Section 5.6 of the Promissory Note, no assignee may further assign any of the assignee’s rights or delegate any of the assignee’s obligations under the Promissory Note without the prior written consent of the Buyer.

(v) The Parties agree and covenant to cause the Promissory Note to have affixed upon it a legend which reads substantially as follows:
