(the "Company").  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement (as defined below).

         WHEREAS, Assignor and the Company are parties to that certain General Consulting and Services Agreement, effective as of October 16, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to retain Assignor to provide Services to the Company, from and after December 1, 2018 (the “Agreement”);

         WHEREAS, Assignor has not yet commenced providing Services pursuant to the Agreement and desires to transfer and assign the Agreement to Assignee; and

         WHEREAS, the Company is willing to consent to such transfer and assignment from Assignor to Assignee, subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Assignment and Novation Agreement.

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the undersigned parties agree for themselves, their successors and assigns, as follows:

1.Assignor hereby assigns, transfers, conveys and delivers to Assignee, effective as of the Effective Date, all of Assignor's rights and obligations under the Agreement.

2.Assignee hereby accepts such assignment and agrees to assume, effective as of the Effective Date, all of Assignor's rights, duties and obligations in, to and under the Agreement.
