Limitations on Services (a) Each Service furnished pursuant to this Agreement shall be in all material respects equivalent to and limited to the same type, quality, quantity and timeliness of such service that the Provider provides to its own organization and personnel, and to those of the other members of the Provider's Group. Each party acknowledges that the other may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing the Services if such Provider is making similar changes for itself, any member of its Group, or its respective business. Each party further acknowledges that such Services will be performed by those employees of such Provider who perform similar services for such Provider in the normal course of their employment. Accordingly, except as otherwise agreed upon by the parties, neither party shall be obligated to make available any incremental Services to the extent that doing so would unreasonably interfere with the performance of any employee of such party in connection with his or her responsibilities to the other, require additional staff or otherwise cause an unreasonable burden to the other, any member of the its Group, or their respective business. Each party acknowledges and agrees that duly authorized agents of the other shall have the right to enter their premises to the extent reasonably necessary or convenient to provide the Services. (b) If a Provider ceases to provide any of the Services to its own business units or if the level of such Services is reduced for any reason, such Provider may also cease to provide or reduce the level of such Services provided to the Recipient under this Agreement. Each party agrees to provide the other as promptly as practicable notice of any substantial change in the level of such Services provided under this Agreement, but in no event shall such Provider provide less than ninety (90) days advance notice of such date of any Service discontinuance. (c) Neither party shall be required to provide any Service to the extent the performance of such Service becomes "impracticable" as a result of a cause or causes outside the reasonable control of such party, including unfeasible technological requirements, or to the extent the performance of such Services would require such party to violate any applicable laws, rules or regulations or would result in the breach of any license, lease or other applicable contract.

Limitations on Exercises Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 1(f). For purposes of this Section 1(f), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Holder may acquire upon the exercise of this Warrant without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent, if any, setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives an Exercise Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall (i) notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Exercise Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 1(f), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Warrant Shares to be purchased pursuant to such Exercise Notice (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the “Reduction Shares”) and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return to the Holder any exercise price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the Holder the exercise price paid by the Holder for the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act. No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(f) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 1(f) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder and the Company agree that the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant and the other warrants issued in connection with the Third Amendment (together with this Warrant, the “Third Amendment Warrants”), together with the total number of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to Section 4.11 of the stock purchase agreement, dated October 10, 2023 (the “Cleveland Avenue Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company and Presto CA LLC (“Cleveland Avenue”), may not exceed the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) (“Nasdaq 19.99% Cap”), except that such limitation will not apply following Approval (defined below). If the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued to the holders of the Third Amendment Warrants and Cleveland Avenue reaches the Nasdaq 19.99% Cap, so as not to violate the 20% limit established in Listing Rule 5635(d), the Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable take all action necessary to obtain stockholder approval of the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Third Amendment Warrants and pursuant to the terms of the Cleveland Avenue Purchase Agreement, if necessary, in accordance with the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) (the “Approval”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of the application of the Nasdaq 19.99% Cap, but in no event later than seventy-five (75) days after such occurrence, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders to seek the Approval. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit the Approval and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they provide the Approval. Until Approval is obtained, (i) increases to the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof and (ii) issuances of Common Stock pursuant to Section 4.11 of the Cleveland Avenue Purchase Agreement shall be made between (x) the holders of the Third Amendment Warrants, and (y) Cleveland Avenue as nearly as possible on a pro rata basis based on the total amount of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to such party (i.e. at any given time, the amount of Third Amendment Warrants (without regard to the Maximum Percentage limitation herein, but subject to the Nasdaq 19.99% Cap) which may be exercised is equal to two (2) times the sum of (i) the shares of Common Stock originally issued pursuant to the Cleveland Avenue Purchase Agreement and (ii) the shares issued pursuant to Section 4.11 thereof).
