Credit and Security Agreement – Related Party
On August 5, 2022, the Company and the related party lender, Lee Aerospace, entered into Amendment No. 2 to Credit and Security Agreement (“Amendment No. 2”), pursuant to which the non-revolving line of credit available to the Company from the related party lender under the Credit Agreement was increased by $500,000, to an aggregate of $3,250,000, and such increased availability became evidenced by a convertible note. In connection with Amendment No. 2, the Company and the related party lender entered into a Non-Revolving Line of Credit Convertible Note in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 (the “Convertible Note”) and a three-year warrant to purchase 375,000 shares of the Common Stock. Each of the Convertible Note and warrant are convertible or exercisable, respectively, for shares of Common Stock commencing November 5, 2022, at a conversion price of $1.635 per share under the Convertible Note and an exercise price of $1.51 per share under the warrant.

The warrant may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis. Except as set forth above, Amendment No. 2 and the Convertible Note do not otherwise amend the terms of the Credit Agreement and related documents.
