- Subordination: Series B lenders agreed to subordinate all Series B debt, related obligations, and associated security interests to the obligations and security interests of the Series C lenders.
- The filing characterizes these arrangements as direct financial obligations under Item 2.03. Interest rates, maturity dates, repayment terms, collateral details, and the total outstanding debt balance are not clearly provided in the filing text.
Changes Versus the Prior Comparable Disclosure

- It reports a $50,000 Series B advance and $2.0 million of subsequent Series C advances.
- The Series B obligations became contractually junior to the Series C obligations through the Subordination Agreement.
