Commitments and Contingencies	*Consulting Agreement* As contemplated by the Merger Agreement, on July 15, 2019, we entered into a consulting arrangement with Dock Square. Pursuant to this consulting arrangement, Dock Square introduces prospective customers and expands relationships with our existing customers for which in return it is eligible to receive unregistered shares of our common stock, subject to certain performance metrics and vesting terms. The grant of any such shares by us would be based on our gross revenue generated from the services of Dock Square as measured over a 12 month period. Upon the grant of any such shares, 50% of such granted shares would vest immediately, and the remaining 50% of such granted shares would be subject to a vesting requirement linked to the gross revenue generated from the services of Dock Square measured over a 3 year period. We refer to any such shares as the “Performance Shares.” We anticipate the maximum aggregate number of Performance Shares issuable under the consulting arrangement would not exceed 1.6 million shares. Any Performance Shares would be in addition to the pro rata portion of the shares of our common stock that Dock Square’s members received as merger consideration at the closing of the Merger, along with the other investors in Legacy HQ. Dock Square would receive any declared and paid dividends on issued Performance Shares, including the unvested portion of such shares during the 3-year vesting measurement period, and the issued but unvested Performance Shares would vest upon a change of control. In addition, Dock Square received piggy-back registration rights with respect to its Performance Shares issued and vested at the time of such registration.

The balance due from the franchises determined to be VIE’s on December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was approximately $2.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively. *Legal Proceedings* From time to time, we are involved in various legal and administrative proceedings.
