1. Term Loan Commitment.

1.1 The Loan.

Provided, that, at the Company’s written request, the Holder may (in its sole discretion) agree in writing to increase the Commitment by an aggregate amount not to exceed an incremental $10,000,000.00 (the “Maximum Commitment”). The outstanding principal balance of this Note at any time shall be the amount of the Loans advanced less the amount of payments or prepayments of principal made on this Note by or for the account of the Company, as may be further adjusted in accordance with the terms of this Note, including pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof (the “Adjusted Principal Balance”).

(b) As of the Closing Date, the Holder has made a Loan to the Company in an amount equal to $3,000,000.00 (the “Existing Loan”).

1.2 Borrowing Mechanics for Commitment Increase. Pursuant to Section 1.1(a) above, the Holder may in its sole discretion agree to increase the Commitment. To request any such Loans from an increase in the Commitment be funded under this Note, the Company shall deliver to the Holder by hand delivery, telecopy, or electronic mail a duly completed and executed borrowing request (a “Borrowing Request”) not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City, New York time (or such later time as approved by the Holder), two (2) business days prior to the date of the proposed funding of a Loan. Each such Borrowing Request will be irrevocable and must specify the following information:

(a) the amount of the requested Loans to be made pursuant to this Note, which in the aggregate together with the Existing Loan may not exceed the Maximum Commitment

(b) the date of the proposed funding under this Note, which must be a business day that is on or prior to the Maturity Date;

(c) the location and number of the Company’s account to which funds are to be disbursed; and

(d) a certification of the Company that no Event of Default exists as of such date.

On the date specified for each Loan, subject to the terms and conditions of this Note, Holder shall make such advances available to the Company by depositing the same, in immediately available funds, in an account designated by the Company, or by such other means as is acceptable to Holder and Company. The Holder is hereby authorized to record on Annex A the dates and amounts of Advances, the repayments of Loans, and the aggregate amount of Loans then outstanding, and such recordations shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information recorded in the absence of manifest error.

2. Terms of this Note.

2.1 Principal. The Adjusted Principal Balance shall be due and payable in immediately available funds in its entirety on or prior to the earliest of (i) January 11, 2026, or (ii) the date that the Loans shall become due and payable in full hereunder, whether by acceleration or otherwise (such earliest date, the “Maturity Date”), at which time this Note shall terminate (if it has not previously terminated in accordance with the terms hereof) and the Holder shall have no further obligations to make Loans hereunder. Amounts borrowed and repaid under this Note may not be reborrowed hereunder. The Adjusted Principal Balance may at times exceed the Commitment and the Maximum Commitment.

2.2 Interest. Interest shall accrue daily on the Adjusted Principal Balance at a rate per annum equal to ten percent (10%) (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365/366 days calculated from and including the Closing Date).

(a) capitalized (i) on the last business day of each fiscal quarter (commencing June 30, 2023) and (ii) on the Maturity Date and, once capitalized, shall thereafter be deemed principal and added to the Adjusted Principal Balance (it being understood and agreed that any such interest so capitalized and added to the Adjusted Principal Balance shall be deemed to constitute the payment of such interest amounts for all purposes hereunder); or

(b) at the election of the Company and upon written notice to the Holder prior to, as applicable, (i) the last business day of a fiscal quarter (commencing June 30, 2023) or (ii) the Maturity Date, converted into common shares of the Company at the 30 day volume weighted average price of the common shares of the Company, as calculated based on the metrics available on the Yahoo Finance website (the “Conversion Price”), with the number of common shares to be issued equaling the amount of accrued and unpaid interest as of such relevant interest payment date divided by the Conversion Price as of such relevant interest payment date (it being understood and agreed that any such interest so converted into common shares of the Company shall be deemed to constitute the payment of such interest amounts for all purposes hereunder).

2.3 Original Issue Discount. The Company and the Holder agree that, each Loan made hereunder shall be funded by the Holder net of a discount of two percent (2%) of the principal amount of such Loan made pursuant to this Note.

2.5 Prepayments and Prepayment Premium. The Adjusted Principal Balance of the Loans may be repaid or prepaid by the Company at any time; provided that, any such repayment or prepayment of the Loans (including on the Maturity Date), regardless of the date a Loan was made, shall be accompanied by an additional payment in cash equal to (i) if such repayment or prepayment occurs on or prior to July 31, 2024, 0% of the principal amount repaid or prepaid, (ii) if such repayment or prepayment occurs following July 31, 2024 but on or prior to October 31, 2024, 1.5% of the principal amount repaid or prepaid, (iii) if such repayment or prepayment occurs following October 31, 2024 but on or prior to January 31, 2025, 3.0% of the principal amount repaid or prepaid, (iv) if such repayment or prepayment occurs following January 31, 2025 but on or prior to July 31, 2025, 4.5% of the principal amount repaid or prepaid, and (v) if such repayment or prepayment occurs following July 31, 2025 but on or prior to the Maturity Date, 6% of the principal amount repaid or prepaid.
