NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and undertakings set forth herein, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Phunware and the Individual Defendants shall provide the above listed items (i) (ii) and (iii) to Underwriters immediately upon execution of this Agreement.    
2.Phunware shall pay FOUR MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($4,500,000) to Uber, wired to Uber in accordance with Uber’s instructions per the following schedule:
i.ONE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1,500,000) by December 31, 2020, with no cure period under Section 5 herein.
ii.ONE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1,500,000) by May 31, 2021.

    - 3 -    


4.Phunware may partially or fully prepay the settlement amount at any time with no prepayment penalty or fee.
5.Except for the initial settlement payment under Section 2(a) above, for which there is no cure period, Phunware shall have ten (10) days to satisfy a missed payment (the “Cure Period”).
6.The amount of the payments herein and the deadlines in this section are material to Uber and under no circumstances will Uber grant any extensions or agree to any modifications of these terms.

Section 664.6. This provision is a material term of the Agreement to Uber and Phunware expressly acknowledges such materiality and consents to this provision.
7.Uber considers the Underwriters’ Payment to be a binding commitment on behalf of Phunware. If Underwriters do not timely make this payment, Phunware shall file suit against Underwriters within five (5) days after the full amount is due from Underwriters. In its suit, Phunware will seek recovery of the full amount of ONE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1,500,000) plus interest and attorneys’ fees. Phunware shall prosecute the suit diligently at its own expense and shall not settle the matter without first receiving written approval from Uber. All proceeds Phunware recovers from the suit up to and including ONE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1,500,000) will be immediately paid to Uber. Any failure by Phunware to satisfy these obligations will be considered a material breach of this Agreement subject to full enforcement by Uber.

9.Within ten (10) business days of Uber’s confirmation that all amounts due from Phunware, including any liquidated damages and attorneys’ fees have cleared and been received, Uber shall dismiss, with prejudice, its claims against Phunware.

liabilities, obligations, actions and causes of action of every nature, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, whether in law or in equity, which it has or had or may claim to have or to have had from the beginning of time through the present arising out of or relating to the Uber Campaign, and including any claims based on any events or circumstances that were alleged, or that could have been alleged or referred to, in relation to the Uber Campaign in the Action (the “Phunware Uber Released Claims”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Phunware Uber Released Claims include claims for and rights to contribution or indemnification, contractual or otherwise, and include any claims arising out of or relating to the filing or defense of the Action.
13.Defendants hereby absolutely, forever and fully, generally and specifically, release and discharge Uber and all of its current or former employees, subsidiaries, and affiliates, from any and all claims, expenses, debts, demands, costs, contracts, liabilities, obligations, actions and causes of action of every nature, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, whether in law or in equity, which it has or had or may claim to have or to have had from the beginning of time through the present arising out of or relating to the Uber Campaign, including any claims based on any events or circumstances that were alleged, or that could have been alleged or referred to, in relation to the Uber Campaign in the Action (the “Defendants Released Claims”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Defendants Released Claims include claims for and rights to contribution or indemnification, contractual or otherwise, and include any claims arising out of or relating to the filing or defense of the Action.
14.So that the releases in Paragraphs 11 through 13 of this Agreement have their full and intended effect, the Parties hereby waive any and all rights or benefits which any of them
    - 7 -    


may have under Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, and any provisions of any other jurisdiction that have similar effect, providing that:
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.
The Parties hereby represent and warrant that they have had an opportunity to consult with counsel and that they understand the effect of this waiver of the above-quoted Civil Code section and any similar provisions. Thus, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1542, and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge, Uber and Defendants expressly acknowledge that this Agreement is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, claims and causes of action which they do not know or suspect to exist in their favor at the time of execution hereof, and that this Agreement contemplates extinguishment of all such claims and causes of action referenced herein. Accordingly, this Agreement shall remain in full force as a complete release of such claims notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or different claims and/or facts before or after the date of this Agreement.

17.Each Party hereto warrants and represents to the other Parties that it is the lawful owner of all rights, title and interest in and to every claim being released herein, and that it has not heretofore assigned or transferred or purported to assign or transfer, to any person or entity, any such released matter or any part or portion thereof. Each Party hereto shall indemnify and hold harmless the others from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, debts, obligations, accounts, actions and causes of action (including the payment of attorneys’ fees and costs actually incurred, whether or not litigation be commenced) based upon, in connection with, or arising out of any such prior assignment, transfer, lien and/or right or purported claimed assignment, transfer, lien and/or right.
18.This Agreement affects the settlement of disputes that are denied and contested and nothing contained herein should be construed as an admission by any Party of any liability of any kind with respect thereto. All such liability is expressly denied. The Parties and their counsel agree not to assert that this Agreement is an admission of guilt, wrongdoing, or liability on the part of any other Party.
    - 9 -    


19.Each of the Parties shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with the Action. In the event that any of the Parties files a legal action to interpret or enforce the Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable legal fees, expert fees and costs.
20.This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes any and all prior oral and written agreements or understandings between the Parties concerning this subject matter. This Agreement may not be altered, amended or modified except by a further writing signed by all Parties.
21.This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of California without regard to conflicts of laws rules.

22.Each Party to this Agreement represents and warrants that it has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement. By the signature of each of the representatives of the Parties hereto placed on this Agreement, each such signatory represents and warrants that she or he is authorized to sign this Agreement on behalf of the Party for whom she or he is signing.
23.This Agreement may be executed and delivered in two or more counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be the original, but such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. The facsimile or .pdf or digital signature of the Parties herein may be used instead of the original.
    - 10 -    


24.Each Party agrees to make, execute, and deliver such other instruments or documents, and to do or cause to be done such further or additional acts, as reasonably may be necessary in order to effectuate the purposes or to implement the terms of this Agreement.
