- Outstanding Principal: $7,150,000 as of August 30, 2023, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Material Changes and Agreement Terms
On August 30, 2023, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement modifying repayment terms based on the success of future capital raises:
- Scenario A (Raise $\ge$ $15,000,000): The Company must pay the entire outstanding principal, accrued interest, and a 5% cash premium on the principal. Upon payment, the Supplemental Agreement and SEPA automatically terminate.
- Scenario B (Raise < $15,000,000): The Company must make four scheduled payments including principal, accrued interest, and a 5% cash premium on the principal amount for each tranche:
- September Payment: $1,500,000 principal (due by Sept 22, 2023 or financing closing).
- November Payment: $1,500,000 principal (due by Nov 30, 2023).
- December Payment: $2,000,000 principal (due by Dec 31, 2023).
- January Payment: Remaining principal (due by Jan 31, 2024).
- Investor Notice Restrictions: Yorkville is restricted from submitting Investor Notices prior to December 1, 2023. Subsequent monthly request limits are capped at $1,383,333, reduced by actual payments made.
Risks, Contingencies, and Default Provisions
The filing outlines significant consequences for failure to meet payment obligations:
- Event of Default: Failure to pay amounts when due (uncured within the applicable period) constitutes an Event of Default.
- Penalty 1 (Floor Price Reduction): In the event of a default, the SEPA Floor Price reduces to 80% of the closing price on the default date (minimum $0.20).
- Penalty 2 (Exchange Cap): If the Exchange Cap is depleted below 5,000,000 shares, the Company must immediately seek shareholder approval to issue shares in excess of the cap.
- Waivers: Yorkville may waive limitations on Investor Notices with prior written consent from the Company.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the Company's ability to raise $15,000,000 or more to trigger the termination of the SEPA and avoid the installment payment schedule.
- Confirm the exact amount of accrued interest outstanding as of the filing date, which is not explicitly quantified in the text.
- Monitor the Company's cash position to ensure it can meet the first payment deadline of September 22, 2023, if a qualifying raise is not completed.
- Review the impact of a potential default on the Floor Price ($1.7677 Fixed Price vs. 80% of closing price) and the Exchange Cap.
- Check for any subsequent filings regarding the status of the financing efforts mentioned in the Letter Agreement.
