(iii)Enter upon the property or wherever the Collateral may be situated, and take possession of all Collateral located thereon, as well as all books, records, files, correspondence and other material of Borrower related to the Collateral, and all materials, supplies, tools, equipment and appliances located thereon or stored off-site;

No delay or omission by Lender in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon the happening of an Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be construed as a waiver of any such default; and every right and remedy hereby conferred upon Lender may be exercised from time to time and as often as shall be deemed expedient by Lender.

Lifted currently is involved in one pending lawsuit, as the plaintiff:

Lifted Liquids, Inc. v. Asad Awawdeh and Habib Cash and Carry SD, Inc. – The Company has filed an action seeking to recover approximately $98,000 in damages resulting from Defendants’ failure to pay for product they ordered. The matter has been filed in California and the Company intends to pursue the action and recover its damages.

On November 13, 2023, Lifted received a letter dated November 6, 2023 from the State of Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (“Department”). The letter stated that the Department had dismissed the case Lifted Liquids, Inc. v. Brian Koff, ERD Case No.: CR202301774; EEOC Case No: 26G202301223. Previously, a disgruntled former Lifted employee had filed an action with the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development claiming discrimination and retaliation.

On November 9, 2023, Lifted entered into a settlement agreement that was mutually acceptable to the parties which has resolved the following lawsuit: Lifted Liquids, Inc. v.

The Company also sought approximately $14,569 in damages resulting from Girish GPO’s failure to pay for product it ordered and that the Company delivered. The Company has obtained a $30,000.00 default judgment against the Law Offices of Saul Roffe and is attempting to collect on the judgment. The action against Girish GPO has been resolved with the Girish defendants agreeing to pay the Company $34,000.00 over time.

Dev filed a counterclaim alleging breach of contract. In October 2023, the parties settled the litigation and agreed to mutual releases and dismissal of the lawsuit in exchange for Dev paying $230,000.00 and providing certain equipment and product.

On May 25, 2023, Lifted entered into a settlement agreement that was mutually acceptable to the parties which has resolved the following lawsuit: Martha, Edgar v. Lifted Liquids.
