(“St. James”) executed three loans with the Company via Azure LLC (the St. James Original Loan”) in the aggregated principal and interest amount of $2,418,983 as of March 31, 2025. On April 25, 2025, the Company and St. James entered into a settlement agreement to (i) terminate the St. James Original Loan, (ii) release all claims held by both the Company and St. James, and (iii) enter into a promissory note. As parties to the original loan, NACS LLC and John Redmond also agreed to release all claims arising from the termination of the original loan.

On April 25, 2025, the Company and St. James entered into an unsecured promissory note (the “April 2025 St. James Promissory Note”) pursuant to which St. James agreed to loan the Company $2,850,000 at an annual interest rate of 12.0% with a maturity date of October 25, 2025. Pursuant to the April 2025 St. James Promissory Note, the Company is granted, at its sole option, up to two extensions of 180-days each, beyond the maturity date. Assuming the Company opts to utilize an extension, the Company will pay St. James at each such extension the remaining balance of the April 2025 St. James Promissory Note, minus any shares St. James has sold to date to pay off the outstanding balance of the April 2025 St. James Promissory Note, either (i) in shares of Common Stock of the Company at a value of $9.87 per share in an amount equal to 125% of the then total outstanding balance of the promissory note at the time of an extension, (ii) in cash, or (iii) a combination of shares and cash. In the event the Company elects both extensions and the Company further chooses not to repay any remaining balance due pursuant to the April 2025 St. James Promissory Note and the shares issued to St. James and sold by St. James do not satisfy the Company’s money owed under the promissory note, the Company and St. James will enter a new unsecured promissory note for a period of 180 days.
