WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 32(b) of the Certificate of Designations, the Certificate of Designations or any provision thereof may be amended by obtaining the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose, or written consent without a meeting in accordance with the DGCL, of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock (the “Required Holders”), voting separately as a single class, and with such stockholder approval, if any, as may then be required pursuant to the DGCL and the Certificate of Incorporation;

| 1. | Section 33(mm) of the Certificate of Designations is hereby amended and restated to read as follows (emphasis added): |
(mm) “Installment Date” means (i) with respect to the first Installment Date, February 7, 2024, which can be changed to one of the following dates if the Buyer provides at least 20 Trading Days prior notice to the Company and returns to the Company all Pre-Installment Conversion Shares previously received from the Company, or the Company and the Buyer mutually agree, that the first Installment Date shall not be February 7, 2024 and shall be one of the following dates instead: (a) May 7, 2024, (b) August 7, 2024, (c) November 7, 2024, (d) February 7, 2025 or (e) August 7, 2025, as elected by a Buyer upon written notice delivered to the Company on or prior to the 30th Trading Day preceding such date or such other date as mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Buyer, (ii) thereafter, the first Trading Day of each calendar month immediately following the previous Installment Date for eleven (11) calendar months, which shall not be later than the Maturity Date, unless extended by mutual agreement of a Holder and the Company.
