Notwithstanding anything in the Credit Agreement to the contrary (including, without limitation, the definition of “Note Rate” and Section 2.5 of the Credit Agreement), beginning on and after February 24, 2024, which Borrower acknowledges shall result in the retroactive application to and from February 24, 2024, of the determination of interest, interest shall accrue on the Loan Indebtedness at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding that the Default Rate shall be used for interest accrual purposes, the monthly payments of interest (starting on April 30, 2024 and on the same day of each calendar month thereafter), Borrower shall make monthly payments in the amount of $60,000 to Lender. Any accrual of interest (as calculated at the Default Rate) that is in excess of the payment received shall be added to the principal balance of the Loan (with any payment thereof in excess of all interest and other amounts then due and owing, shall deduct the overall principal balance) and shall compound on a monthly basis so long as any portion of the Loan Indebtedness remains outstanding.
(b)Principal Payments. Notwithstanding any other required payments, Borrower shall make mandatory principal payments simultaneously with the closing of all future capital raises by Borrower or any affiliate of Borrower (whether such capital raises are comprised of debt, equity, synthetic equity or otherwise). The first principal payment will be the greater of (i) $3,000,000 (such amount, the “Minimum Payment”) or (ii) 20% of the Net Capital Raise (as defined in the following sentence). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the term “Net Capital Raise” shall mean the net amount raised from any source of debt, equity, synthetic equity instruments or otherwise less any reasonable, customary, and documented transaction-related expenses paid to third parties. At each capital raise thereafter (whether debt, equity, synthetic equity or otherwise), the mandatory principal payment to Lender shall be equal to 20% of the Net Capital Raise from any source, debt, equity, synthetic equity instruments or otherwise until the Loan Indebtedness are satisfied in full. All payments made pursuant to this paragraph shall be in addition to, and not in limitation or in substitute of, any interest payments otherwise required to be made to Lender pursuant to paragraph (a) above.

In exchange for the 1,500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Borrower issued to the Lender on March 29, 2024, such issuance to be accepted by the Lender on the Effective Date hereof, the principal amount of the Loan shall be reduced by $3,000,000 (such that after effecting such reduction, the outstanding principal amount of the Loan shall be deemed to be $4,957,863.06) as of the Effective Date.

(d)Stipulation Regarding Letter of Credit.

As of the date hereof, the amount of such increase is $275,000 and shall increase with each additional receipt of funds from the Letter of Credit.
