Important Facts for Investor Verification

- Confirm the status of any planned securities offerings intended to utilize the $1,000,000 unencumbered proceeds provision.
- Monitor the aggregate dividend payments to ensure they do not trigger the early expiration of the Letter Agreement.
- Review the specific terms of the "non-compliance" consented to by the banks to understand any lingering covenant risks.
