On January 4, 2023, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Steel Holdings, LLC effective January 1, 2023 (the “Steel Holdings Consulting Agreement”). Steel Holdings, LLC is an entity affiliated with Chad Steelberg, formerly a member of the Board, as well as the Company’s former Chairman of the Board and former Chief Executive Officer. Under the Steel Holdings Consulting Agreement, the Company retained Mr. Steelberg as a consultant to provide ongoing Chief Executive Officer transition services and to manage and oversee the further development of the Company’s aiWARE platform.
In January 2024, the Company entered into an amended and restated independent contractor services agreement with Steel Holdings, LLC (the “Amended Consulting Agreement”), which superseded and replaced the Steel Holdings Consulting Agreement. Pursuant to the Amended Consulting Agreement, Mr. Steelberg will provide technical advisory services related to the Company’s software, software architecture and technology strategy as requested by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer until December 31, 2025, the termination date of the Amended Consulting Agreement. In consideration for such services, the Company paid Steel Holdings, LLC $1,000 in cash on July 1, 2024 and agreed to pay Steel Holdings, LLC $50 per month in cash for the period from January 2024 through December 2025. The Company reimbursed Steel Holdings, LLC for reasonable and documented expenses incurred in connection with providing the services in accordance with the Company’s standard travel and expense policies.

The Amended Consulting Agreement expired by its terms on December 31, 2025.
In January 2026, following the termination of the Amended Consulting Agreement, the Company entered into a new independent contractor services agreement with Steel Holdings, LLC (the “2026 Consulting Agreement”). Pursuant to the 2026 Consulting Agreement, Mr. Steelberg will provide technical advisory services related to the Company’s software and services, including strategic government sales and business development services, identification and pursuit of prospective customers, partners, and revenue opportunities, and supporting the Company’s go-to-market execution, as requested by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer until December 31, 2026, the termination date of the 2026 Consulting Agreement. In consideration for such services, the Company will pay to Steel Holdings, LLC $12,500 per month in cash for the period from January 2026 through December 2026. The Company will reimburse Steel Holdings, LLC for reasonable and documented expenses incurred in connection with providing the services in accordance with the Company’s standard travel and expense policies.
The 2026 Consulting Agreement may be terminated by either party with 90 days’ notice. If the Company terminates the 2026 Consulting Agreement for any reason other than Steel Holdings, LLC’s material breach, then any remaining compensation payments under the 2026 Consulting Agreement will become due and payable.
