Term Loan

On February 1, 2024, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Term Loan") with Vertical Investors LLC, (the “Lender”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to borrow from the Lender a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $8.0 million. The term loan bears interest at Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR-Based Rate"), and the Company shall pay a guarantee fee of $2.3 million due on the maturity date. The guarantee fee was treated as a debt discount and accreted through interest expense through maturity date. The maturity date of the Term Loan was originally June 28, 2024. On March 29, 2024, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to the Lender in exchange for reduction of outstanding debt of $3.0 million.

On April 24, 2024, (the “Effective Date”) the Company entered into a Loan Modification Agreement (the “Modification Agreement”) with the Lender reducing the outstanding debt by $3.0 million and extending the maturity date to December 31, 2024. The maturity date was further extended to December 31, 2025 on September 30, 2024.

Pursuant to the Modification Agreement, the Company agreed to make monthly payments of interest in the amount of $60,000 to the Lender. In addition, the Company agreed to make mandatory principal payments simultaneously with the closing of all future capital raises by the Company or any affiliate of the Company. The first principal payment will be the greater of (i) $3.0 million (the “Minimum Payment”) or (ii) 20% of the net amount raised from any source of debt, equity, synthetic equity instruments or otherwise less any reasonable expenses paid to third parties (the “Net Capital Raise”). At each capital raise thereafter, the Company shall make a mandatory principal payment to the Lender of 20% of the Net Capital Raise. As of the Effective Date, the outstanding principal amount of the Loan was approximately $5.0 million.

On April 24, 2024, the Company entered into a Loan Restoration Agreement with the Lender (the “Restoration Agreement”). Pursuant to the Restoration Agreement, in the event the aggregate amount of funds received by the Lender (net of all commissions, transfer fees or other transaction fees of any kind and taxes paid or payable as a result thereof) arising out of the disposition of the Preferred Stock, shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, if converted by the Lender, or any other securities of the Company issued to the Lender as a result of its holding the Preferred Stock (the aggregate amount of funds, the “Net Trade Value”) received by the Lender on or before December 31, 2024 is less than $3.0 million within ten (10) business days of written demand therefor, the Company shall pay the Lender the amount that is equal to $3.0 million less the Net Trade Value. In the event the Net Trade Value is greater than $3.1 million, any amount in excess of $3.1 million being the “Excess Amount”, the Excess Amount shall be applied by the Lender as follows:

a)Fifty percent (50%) of the Excess Amount shall be distributed to the Lender as additional gain on the sale of the Preferred Stock;

b)The remaining fifty percent (50%) of the Excess Amount shall be applied by Lender as a partial payment by the Company of the guarantee fee, which is the Origination Fee of $1.6 million and the Enhancement Fee of $0.7 million;

c)After the application of the funds as set forth above and provided that the Minimum Payment in the Modification Agreement has not yet been received, such Minimum Payment shall be reduced by a percentage of the “Base Trade Value”, which is the Net Trade Value less the Excess Amount, in accordance with the formulas and schedule as set forth in the Restoration Agreement. By way of example, if the Lender realizes a Base Trade Value of $2.4 million prior to receipt of the Minimum Payment, then a Discount Percentage of 40% would apply, resulting in a reduction of the Minimum Payment to $1.8 million, calculated as follows:

($2,400,000 / $3,000,000) x 50% = 40% (being the Discount Percentage)

$3,000,000 x 60% (being 1 – 0.40) = $1,800,000 (being the Minimum Payment)

The Company bifurcated the Restoration Agreement and recorded the Restoration Agreement as a short term derivative in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet in accordance with FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The derivative liability or asset will be remeasured at each reporting period using a Monte Carlo simulation with changes in fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in change in fair value of derivatives. See Note 12. for further details.

The Company entered into a number of exchange agreements with the Lender. In total, the Company and Lender agreed to reduce the Loan Amount by $0.6 million in exchange for the issuance of 1,286,957 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). On September 30, 2024, the Lender was issued 59,668 shares of Series A Preferred Stock as a dividend in kind on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned by the Lender (the 59,668 shares of Series A Preferred Stock combined with the 1,500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock already owned by the Lender is referred to herein as the “Series A Preferred Shares”). As of September 30, 2024, the outstanding principal amount of the Loan was $4,309,186 (the “Loan Amount”). On September 30, 2024, the Company and the Lender entered into an Exchange and Settlement Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company and Lender agreed to exchange (a) the Series A Preferred Shares and (b) the Loan Amount (minus $2 million) for a total of 2,861,128 shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Shares”).In connection with the Exchange Agreement, on September 30, 2024, the Company and the Lender reduced the principal amount of the Note Purchase Agreement previously entered into by the Company and the Lender to $2.0 million.

On September 30, 2024, the Company and the Lender entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the previously disclosed Loss Restoration Agreement, dated as of April 24, 2024. The Amendment revised the definition of Preferred Stock to “2,861,128 shares of Series C Preferred Stock”. Prior to the Amendment, the definition of Preferred Stock read “1,500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock”. The definition of Net Trade Value was amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows “means the aggregate amount of funds received by Lender (net of all commissions, transfer fees or other transaction fees of any kind and taxes paid or payable as a result thereof) arising out of the disposition of the Preferred Stock, the disposition of the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the exchange agreements entered into by and between the Borrower and the Lender prior to the Amendment Effective Date, the disposition of the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to all exchange agreements entered into by and between the Borrower and the Lender after the Amendment Effective Date, the disposition of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, if such Preferred Stock is converted to Common Stock by Lender, or the disposition of any other securities of the Borrower issued to the Lender as a result of its holding the Preferred Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, the Net Trade Exhibit 10.2 Value shall be determined by Lender.” Furthermore, the Amendment revised the date on which the Net Trade Value received will be calculated from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2025.
