In addition, these amounts do not contemplate or include any equity holdings the Lender holds in the Company.
3. ADDITIONAL DEBT DETAILS RESTATED
The Parties agree that the following details about the debt are true and accurate representations of the original material financial terms of the Existing Debt Agreements, and are incorporated except as modified in this Agreement:

The original issuance date of this debt is: April 10, 2023
The original due date of this debt: The earlier of the Company obtaining $20,000,000 in total equity contributions after the Effective Date, or June 30, 2024. By letter agreement dated December 30, 2023, the original due date was modified to the earlier of: (a) mutual agreement of the Parties, (b) when the Debt Tranche 2 is due, or (c) 60 days after Lender provides written notice to the Company demanding that the debt be repaid.
The original interest rate of this debt: Annual interest rate of 25%, with interest accrual beginning on April 1, 2023, compounded monthly.

Within a single calendar quarter, the Company can borrow from Lender, and repay to Lender, funds to help the Company, in the ordinary course of its business, manage its cash flow needs and support its ongoing operations in an amount mutually agreed upon by Lender and Company on a case-by-case basis; however, Lender has no obligation to provide such funds.

The Lender shall have the right to approve or disapprove of each draw request by either providing written approval or by funding the draw request. If Lender funds the draw request, it will be deemed approved.
If the total amount repaid, including accrued interest, is less than 1.10 times the original principal amount (the "Minimum Repayment Amount"), a prepayment penalty will apply to ensure a 1.1x Multiple on Invested Capital (MOIC). The prepayment penalty will be equal to the difference between the Minimum Repayment Amount and the sum of the principal and accrued interest repaid at the time of payment. The prepayment penalty, if applicable, will be due at the time a draw is repaid.

5. NEGATIVE ASSET PLEDGE AND SECURITY
5.1 Negative Pledge
While any of the Restated Debt remains outstanding, the Company agrees that it will not pledge, sell, encumber, or transfer any real estate owned by the Company or subsidiaries which is not encumbered as of the Effective Date (the “Real Estate”) to any third-party without the prior written consent of the Lender; however, (x) the Company may sell or transfer such real estate to one of its affiliates or subsidiaries without the prior written approval of Lender and (y) such prohibition shall not apply with respect to any non-consensual encumbrance, any pledge, sale, encumbrance or transfer required by law, or any casualty event with respect to any such Real Estate.
5.2 Security Upon Default
The Company further agrees that, in the event Company fails to timely repay the Restated Debt under this Agreement, the Company will, upon the written request of the Lender, promptly encumber the Real Estate by executing and delivering one or more mortgages and associated documents as reasonably requested by the Lender to secure the then-outstanding Restated Debt.
5.2.1 No New Debt Without Consent
The Company will not incur any material new debt for borrowed money (other than ordinary course indebtedness pursuant to credit cards and other short-term obligations) without the prior written consent of the Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Lender’s consent is not required for the issuance by the Company of any equity interests, including preferred equity, nor is it required for any project financing or convertible debt instruments that have a mandatory equity conversion provision.
5.2.2 Debt Due Upon Certain Events of Default
All of the Restated Debt is due in full, inclusive of accrued interest, upon the Company becoming insolvent, in receivership, filing for bankruptcy protections, or being in default of any material term of this Agreement.
6. OTHER GENERAL TERMS
All of the following general terms shall apply to the Restated Debt. The Parties agree that these terms are being consolidated for simplicity and consistency purposes. These general terms replace all prior similar terms and this Agreement shall govern.
6.1 Schedule of Draws
The Company shall create and maintain a Schedule A to this Agreement, which shall be incorporated herein, that records all draw amounts and repayment amounts for all tranches of Restated Debt. From time to time, Lender agrees to confirm that the Schedule A maintained by the Company is a true and accurate copy of the draws and repayments made under this Section of the Agreement. An error in Schedule A shall not be binding on the Company or the Lender and the Parties acknowledge that Schedule is an exhibit of convenience and not an amendment to this Agreement.
6.2 No Current Default
As of the Effective Date, Company is not in default under any Existing Debt Agreement. Further, any and all prior defaults, if any, under any Existing Debt Agreement are unconditionally and irrevocably waived as of the Effective Date of this Agreement by Lender.
8
6.3 Default
Non-payment of principal or accrued interest on the Maturity Date shall constitute an event of default. Upon default, Lender will have the right to pursue any available remedies under applicable law.
6.4 Subordination to Class A Preferred Equity
The Lender agrees that, in the event of a liquidation or insolvency of the Company, the Restated Debt and any other debt under this Agreement will be subordinated to the Class A Preferred Equity liquidity preference, if and only if the Company has Class A Preferred Equity outstanding at the time of the liquidation or insolvency. This subordination is intended to limit the Lender’s rights in a liquidation or insolvency. The Lender does not limit their rights in a liquidation or insolvency other than as expressly stated in this Section. The holders of the Class A Preferred Equity (if any) are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.4 and shall be entitled to enforce this Section 6.4 as if such holders were direct parties to this Agreement.
6.5 No Conversion Right
The Restated Debt does not contain any equity conversion rights for either the Company or the Lender. Any and all prior conversion options related to the Existing Debt Agreements have not been invoked and are void as of the Effective Date of this Agreement.
6.6 Relationship of the Parties
Lender shall exercise independent professional judgment in the execution and performance of this Agreement. Company shall have neither the right to control, nor have any actual, potential, or other control over, how the Lender conducts their independent business operations. Furthermore, the Parties agree that Lender shall not be a partner or joint venturer of Company as a result of this Agreement.
6.7 Assignment
Neither Party may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without Notice to, and the prior written consent of, the other Party; however, Lender may, upon written notice to Company, assign this Agreement to an affiliate related to the Lender for estate planning purposes.
6.8 Notices
Any notice, order, or other communication provided for under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent to the Party to which it is directed (a “Notice”). Any Notice shall be deemed to be duly given when and only when addressed as set forth below and (i) received by the Party, if hand delivered or (ii) one Business Day following delivery, charges prepaid, to a receipted overnight delivery service (such as Federal Express), addressed to the Party.

6.10 Severability
If any provision of this Agreement shall be held void, voidable, invalid, or inoperative, no other provision of this Agreement shall be affected as a result thereof, and, accordingly, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as though such void, voidable, invalid, or inoperative provision had not been contained herein. To the extent that any provision is held void, voidable, invalid, or inoperative, Company and Lender shall negotiate an equitable adjustment in the provisions of this Agreement with a view toward effecting the purpose of this Agreement, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions, or portions, or applications thereof, shall not be affected thereby.
