Material Changes and Transaction Mechanics

- Term: Up to 36 months from the Commencement Date (subject to SEC registration effectiveness).
- Discretion: Sales are solely at the Company's option; the Company is under no obligation to sell any securities.
- Use of Proceeds: Working capital and general corporate purposes.
- Restrictions: The Company is prohibited from entering into other "Variable Rate Transactions" or similar equity lines of credit during the term.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Management Commentary: The Company retains full control over the timing and amount of sales, dependent on market conditions and funding needs.
Risks and Contingencies:
- Make-Whole Payment: The Company may be required to pay up to $500,000 in cash if the resale proceeds from the Commitment Shares received by B. Riley are less than $500,000 prior to specified times.
- Termination Events: The agreement terminates automatically upon the 36-month anniversary, full funding of the $25M commitment, delisting from Nasdaq, or bankruptcy proceedings.
- Registration Requirement: The facility cannot commence until a registration statement filed by the Company is declared effective by the SEC.
- Dilution: Issuance of shares up to the Exchange Cap may dilute existing shareholders.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the effectiveness of the SEC registration statement required to commence the facility.
- Monitor the Company's stock price relative to the $3.08 threshold to determine if the 19.99% Exchange Cap can be exceeded.
- Review future filings for actual sales notices and the volume of shares issued under the agreement.
- Assess the impact of the 3.0% discount on VWAP on future share issuance pricing.
- Confirm whether the Company exercises its right to terminate the agreement or if the "make-whole" payment contingency is triggered.
