Exhibit 10.3

 

ADDENDUM #1 TO LOAN AGREEMENT

 

This Addendum #1 to Loan Agreement (this “Addendum”) is intended to amend and supplement the Business Loan and Security Agreement between the parties (the “Agreement” or “Loan Agreement”), and is incorporated into such Loan Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between this Addendum and the Loan Agreement, this Addendum shall control.

 

Notwithstanding anything to in the Loan Agreement to the contrary, the Parties agree as follows:

 

1. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. Unless the Loan Agreement is otherwise accelerated, or extended in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan Agreement plus all accrued interest shall be due and payable in full on July 14, 2027 (the “Maturity Date”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Agreement, the Loan Amount shall be payable upon demand of Lender on or after December 15, 2026.

 

2. BI-WEEKLY PAYMENTS AND BALLOON. Borrower shall make Bi-Weekly payments of $75,000 to Lender. The bi-weekly payments shall begin on July 10, 2025. The outstanding principal amount, together with any additional interest payable in accordance with Section 3, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date or the date which Lender demands payment on or after December 15, 2025.

 

3. PAYMENT OF INTEREST. Borrower will pay to Lender interest in the amount of $675,000.00 which is the amount of interest payable through the Maturity Date. On the execution of the Loan Agreement, Borrower will pay to Lender the interest due under the Loan Agreement for the entire two year term (i.e., $675,000.00) by the issuance of 225,000 shares of the Borrower’s shares of common stock, valued for purposes of this issuance at $3.00 per share (the “Interest Shares”). The interest and the Interest Shares will be fully earned on issuance and will not be subject to decrease or offset if the Loan Agreement is repaid prior to the Maturity Date. The Interest Shares will be registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Securities Act”) and will be freely transferable by Lender subject to the Bleed Out (defined herein). Upon receipt of the Interest Shares, Lender may sell the Shares; provided, that Lender will not sell a number of shares more than 20% of the average daily volume of the Borrower’s common stock in any given Trading Day, as reported by the Trading Market (the “Bleed Out”). If, upon sale of all of the Interest Shares, Lender has received aggregate proceeds of less than $675,000.00, Borrower must make up the shortfall in the form of a cash payment at the time the loan is repaid provided, however, Lender did not violate the Bleed Out. “Trading Day” means a day on which the principal Trading Market is open for trading. “Trading Market” means The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), (or any successors to the foregoing).

 

4. ISSUANCE OF COLLATERAL SHARES. At the execution of the Loan Agreement, Lender will issue into a reserve account 2,900,000 shares of common stock (the “Collateral Shares” and, together with the Interest Shares, the “Borrower Securities”). The Collateral Shares will be delivered by Borrower and ClearTrust, LLC, the Borrower’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) (i) instruction letter to the Transfer Agent to be delivered by Borrower (the “Instruction Letter”), (ii) the Pledge and Security Agreement to be entered into between Borrower and Lender (the “Pledge Agreement”), and the Escrow Agreement to be entered into among Borrower, Lender and Transfer Agent (the “Escrow Agreement” and, together with the Instruction Letter and the Pledge Agreement, the “Other Transaction Documents”), all of which will be executed and delivered at the execution of the Loan Agreement. The Collateral Shares will be held in a reserve account with the Transfer Agent pursuant to such agreements. The Collateral Shares are intended to provide collateral for the obligations under the Loan Agreement and are deliverable to Borrower on a default of the Loan Agreement.
