In addition to this above “irrevocable release,” Claimant agreed that UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, can any further litigation be initiated against Tauriga Sciences Inc. or Seth M. Shaw for ANYTHING related to the Company, decisions by TAUG management, etc. etc. For example, if TAUG management enters into an acquisition and Claimant doesn’t agree with acquisition (and stock potentially loses value), the ownership of equity granted through this Settlement Agreement – Cannot (under any circumstances) be utilized by Claimant to initiate legal proceeding against the Company.
