On July 9, 2025, we entered into a Second Amendment to Loan Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement (the “Amendment”), and an Additional Junior Secured Convertible Note (the “Additional Note”, together with the Amendment, the “New Loan Documents”), under which we agreed to issue the Lender the Note in the principal amount of $5,940,000. Under the New Loan Documents, we will receive net proceeds of $971,026, with the remainder of the principal amount going to (a) a $176,000 origination fee, (b) an aggregate of $3,232,975 (the “Holdback Amounts”) representing (i) a $891,000 holdback amount to be applied to pay the first six Weekly Installment Payments when due under the Additional Note (hereinafter defined), (ii) $1,395,540 to be applied to pay the seven past due Weekly Installment Payments under the Initial Note, plus accrued interest thereon, and (iii) $946,434 to secure and cover the payment of the next six Weekly Installment Payments due under the Initial Note, (c) $20,000 to pay Lender’s legal fees, and (d) and original issuance discount of $1,540,000. The Note is payable over forty equal weekly installments of $148,500, which may be paid in cash or, at the option of the Company once an applicable registration statement is effective, in free trading shares of its common stock issued at a twenty percent (20%) discount to the lower of either the previous day’s closing price or the average of the four lowest volume-weighted average prices during the prior twenty (20) trading days. The Note does not bear interest unless in default and is subject to mandatory prepayment upon the receipt of proceeds from identified sales of equity interests in the Company and/or the receipt of certain extraordinary cash payments. In the event we default on the terms of the Initial Note or the Additional Note, the conversion price under the notes is a 50% discount to discount to the lower of either the previous day’s closing price or the average of the four lowest volume-weighted average prices during the prior twenty (20) trading days. The lender is secured by a junior lien in all assets of the Company, subject to exceptions for existing debt covenants of the Company. The Company reserved 15,000,000 shares of its common stock for issuance in connection with a conversion under the Additional Note and the Company agreed to issue the Lender 150,000 shares of its common stock as additional consideration for the loan (the “Commitment Shares”). We received the funds under the New Loan Documents on July 15, 2025.
