Pursuant to the First Amendment, the due date under the Original Note was changed from August 15, 2025 to September 30, 2025.

Pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, GBC and the Company agreed to amend the definition of the maturity date to August 31, 2025, unless otherwise extended pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, provided however, upon the occurrence of either (i) an extension of the due date of the Cleveland Note to a date no earlier than September 29, 2027, or (ii) the conversion of all of the outstanding obligations under the Cleveland Note into equity of the Registrant the maturity date will automatically extend to July 31, 2027.
