ARTICLE I DEFINITIONS

** **

**Section 1.1 Defined Terms. **Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement, the Note, or the other Transaction Documents, as applicable. As used in this Amendment: (a) **“Registration Statement” **means the Resale Registration Statement as defined in the Loan Agreement; (b) **“DACA Account” **means the deposit account of the Company that is subject to the DACA; and (c) **“Guaranty” **means the Guaranty Agreement referred to in Recital A, being the subsidiary guarantee dated June 11, 2026 executed by the Subsidiary Guarantor in favor of the Lender and also referred to in the Loan Agreement as the Subsidiary Guarantee.

** **

ARTICLE II ACCOMMODATION

** **

**Section 2.1 Accommodation. **Subject to the satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth in **Section 5.1 **of this Amendment and the Company’s continued compliance with the Transaction Documents as amended hereby, the Lender hereby agrees that the Accommodated Matters identified in Recital C above shall not constitute, and shall not be deemed to have constituted, an Event of Default under the Note, the Loan Agreement, or any other Transaction Document (the “Accommodation”). The Accommodation shall become effective as of the Amendment Date upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1.

** **

**Section 2.2 Scope of Accommodation; No Modification of Rights. **The Accommodation set forth in **Section 2.1 **is limited solely to the Accommodated Matters identified herein and shall not be deemed to (a) waive any other existing or future Event of Default (whether known or unknown), (b) waive any rights or remedies of the Lender arising from or relating to any Event of Default other than the Accommodated Matters, (c) constitute a course of dealing or obligate the Lender to grant any future waiver, or (d) amend, modify, or impair any other term, covenant, or condition of the Transaction Documents. If the Company fails to make any Minimum Installment Payment on any Scheduled Payment Date (as amended hereby) or otherwise breaches any term of the Transaction Documents, the Accommodation shall be automatically and immediately voided, whereupon each of the Accommodated Matters shall constitute an immediate Event of Default, without notice or demand, as of the date such matter first arose and as though the Accommodation had never been granted, and the Lender shall be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies available under the Transaction Documents and applicable law.

** **

**Section 2.3 Registration Statement Covenant. **Notwithstanding Section 2.1, the Lender expressly reserves all rights, remedies, and claims arising from the Company’s failure to timely file the Registration Statement, and the Company covenants to file the Registration Statement with the SEC no later than August 31, 2026, registering for resale two hundred percent (200%) of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion in full of the Amended Principal Balance, including the Restructuring Premium and all interest accruing at the Amendment Rate through the Amended Maturity Date, at the Floor Price then in effect, determined as of the date of filing, and without regard to the Exchange Cap or the Beneficial Ownership Cap, together with the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrant and the Make Whole Shares, and to cause the same to be declared effective no later than September 11, 2026. Any failure to satisfy the foregoing covenant shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under the Note. Such reservation of rights shall survive the effectiveness of this Amendment. The Registration Rights Agreement is hereby amended to replace the filing deadline of July 26, 2026 set forth therein with August 31, 2026, and to provide that the Registrable Securities thereunder include all securities described in this Section 2.3; except as so amended, the Registration Rights Agreement remains in full force and effect.

** **

ARTICLE III AMENDMENTS TO LOAN AGREEMENT

** **

**Section 3.1 Amendment to ATM Waterfall Distributions. **The definition of **“Payment Direction ****Agreement”**in the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the ATM Waterfall Distributions set forth therein in their entirety and replacing them with the following:

“ATM Waterfall Distributions” means the following allocation of the net proceeds of each ATM Financing, as set forth in the Payment Direction Agreement:

(i) Ninety Percent (90%) of all ATM Financing net proceeds shall be distributed to the Lender until the Note has been paid in full, including the Amended Principal Balance, the Restructuring Premium, all interest accrued at the Amendment Rate, and any applicable Default Amount, without regard to whether any Minimum Installment Payment is then due or has been satisfied for the relevant week; and

(ii) The ATM Waterfall Distribution arrangement set forth in this definition shall remain in full force and effect and may not be rescinded, modified, or suspended by the Company without the prior written consent of the Lender.”

**Section 3.2 Amendment to Weekly Installment Payments Definition. **The definition of **“Weekly Installment Payments” **in the Loan Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

** **

“Weekly Installment Payments” means the twenty-three (23) remaining weekly installment payments of $104,187.65 each under the Note, commencing on **August 19, 2026 (the “Amended Commencement Date”) and continuing on each Wednesday thereafter through January 20, 2027 **(the “Amended Maturity Date”), provided that any such payment otherwise due on a day that is not a Business Day shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day, which payments shall amortize in full the Amended Principal Balance, including the Restructuring Premium, together with all interest accruing thereon at the Amendment Rate, in each case as provided in Section 4.5 of the Second Amendment.”

**Section 3.3 Conforming Amendments to ATM Percentages. **Each provision of the Loan Agreement that gives effect to the ATM Waterfall Distributions, including Section 4.10 (ATM Financing; Payment Direction Agreement; Deposit Account Control), is hereby amended by replacing each reference to “Eighty Percent (80%)” or “80%” with “Ninety Percent (90%)” or “90%”, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the ATM Waterfall Distributions as amended by Section 3.1 of this Amendment apply in lieu of the tiered allocation previously set forth in the definition of “Payment Direction Agreement” in the Loan Agreement, being Eighty Percent (80%) until the applicable weekly installment payment was satisfied, Fifty Percent (50%) thereafter, and Eighty Percent (80%) upon an Event of Default.

** **

**Section 3.4 ATM Program and Listing Covenants. **Article IV of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following covenants, each of which shall apply from the Amendment Date until the Note is paid in full: (a) the Company shall maintain the Sales Agreement, dated October 23, 2024, as amended, with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners in full force and effect, shall maintain an effective registration statement and current prospectus permitting sales thereunder, and shall not suspend, reduce, or terminate the ATM Financing or decline to deliver a placement notice thereunder; (b) the Company shall effect ATM Financings generating net proceeds of not less than $115,765.00 in each calendar week, commencing with the calendar week in which the Company files its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, and in any event no later than the calendar week commencing August 10, 2026, such that the Lender’s Ninety Percent (90%) share is not less than the applicable Minimum Installment Payment, and the Company shall not apply, and shall not direct or permit A.G.P. or East West Bank to apply, any ATM Financing net proceeds to any other obligation prior to satisfaction in full of the amounts then payable to the Lender; (c) the Company shall maintain the listing of the Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market and shall not take, or omit to take, any action that would reasonably be expected to result in delisting; (d) the Company shall deliver to the Lender copies of all correspondence with Nasdaq regarding continued listing, and notice of any deficiency, hearing, or determination, within one (1) Business Day of receipt; (e) the Company shall irrevocably direct A.G.P. in writing to remit, and shall cause A.G.P. to remit, all net proceeds of each ATM Financing solely and directly to the DACA Account, and to no other account of the Company or of any other Person, shall not amend, revoke, supersede, or deliver any instruction inconsistent with such direction without the Lender’s prior written consent, and shall maintain such direction in full force and effect until the Note has been paid in full; and (f) the Company shall deliver to the Lender, no later than ten (10) Business Days after the Amendment Date, irrevocable transfer agent instructions executed by the Company and acknowledged in writing by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, reflecting the 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Common Stock effective July 17, 2026 and the share reservation required by Section 3.6 of this Amendment.

If Stockholder Approval is not obtained by such date, the Company shall convene an additional meeting of stockholders not less than once in each calendar quarter thereafter until Stockholder Approval is obtained. Any failure to comply with this Section 3.5 shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under the Note.

** **

**Section 3.6 Share Reservation. **The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, free from preemptive rights, a number of shares equal to not less than two hundred percent (200%) of the number of shares issuable upon conversion in full of the Amended Principal Balance, including the Restructuring Premium and all interest accruing at the Amendment Rate, at the Floor Price, together with the Make Whole Shares and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock is insufficient for such purpose, the Company shall promptly take all corporate action necessary to increase its authorized Common Stock, including convening a meeting of stockholders and soliciting proxies in favor thereof. Any failure to comply with this Section 3.6 shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under the Note.

** **

**Section 3.7 SEC Reporting; Sarborg Financial Statements. **The Company shall (a) file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 with the SEC no later than August 14, 2026, (b) cause to be prepared and filed, within the periods required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, all separate financial statements of Sarborg Limited required to be filed by reason of the Company’s investment in Sarborg Limited, together with any audit or review reports of independent accountants required in connection therewith, (c) remain in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) and satisfy any compliance plan submitted to Nasdaq, and (d) promptly, and in any event within one (1) Business Day, notify the Lender of any determination that any previously issued financial statements should no longer be relied upon, of any notice from its independent accountants, and of any anticipated delay in any filing described in this Section 3.7. Any failure to comply with this Section 3.7 shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under the Note.

** **

** **

ARTICLE IV AMENDMENTS TO NOTE

** **

**Section 4.1 Amendment to Payment Schedule. **Section 2(a) of the Note is hereby amended by (i) replacing all references to Minimum Installment Payments commencing June 18, 2026 or July 10, 2026 (as previously amended) with a reference to twenty-three (23) Minimum Installment Payments of $104,187.65 each commencing on August 19, 2026, and (ii) replacing the **“Scheduled Payment Dates” **with the dates set forth in the schedule below, each of which shall be a Business Day (for clarity, the installment that would otherwise fall on Wednesday, November 11, 2026 is scheduled for Tuesday, November 10, 2026, the immediately preceding Business Day, as November 11, 2026 is a federal holiday):

** **

**Section 4.2 ATM Percentages in Note. **To the extent the Note contains any reference to “Eighty Percent (80%)” or “80%” in connection with ATM Financing net proceeds, whether directly or by incorporation of the ATM Waterfall Distributions from the Loan Agreement, each such reference is hereby amended to read “Ninety Percent (90%)” or “90%”, as applicable, consistent with the amended ATM Waterfall Distributions set forth in Section 3.1 of this Amendment.

** **

**Section 4.3 Amendment to “Maturity Date” Definition. **The definition of **“Maturity Date” **in Section 1 of the Note is hereby amended to replace the reference to the original final maturity date with **January 20, 2027 **as the Amended Maturity Date, on which date the entire remaining Amended Principal Balance, including the Restructuring Premium and all other amounts then outstanding under the Note, shall be due and payable in full, subject to earlier acceleration upon an Event of Default.

**Section 4.4 No Remaining Grace Periods. **In connection with the Accommodation set forth in Article II hereof, the Company acknowledges and agrees that the two (2) Grace Periods permitted under Section 5(a)(i) of the Note have been fully utilized and that no Grace Period remains available under the Note, such that following the Amendment Date any failure by the Company to pay a Minimum Installment Payment in full on the applicable Scheduled Payment Date shall constitute an immediate Event of Default without any cure period, notice, or demand. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4.4 shall constitute a waiver of any other provision of the Note.

** **

**Section 4.5 Restructuring Premium; Amended Principal Balance. **In consideration of the Lender’s agreement to the rescheduling and other accommodations set forth herein, the Company and the Lender agree that, effective as of the Amendment Date, the outstanding principal balance under the Note is increased by $377,775.00 (the “Restructuring Premium”), such that the aggregate outstanding principal balance under the Note as of the Amendment Date is $2,266,650.00 (the “Amended Principal Balance”). The Restructuring Premium is fully earned as of the Amendment Date upon execution and delivery of this Amendment, is not subject to rebate, proration, or refund for any reason, shall not be affected by and shall survive any failure of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 to be satisfied, any failure of the Accommodation to become effective, and any voiding of the Accommodation pursuant to Section 2.2, and shall be treated as principal of the Note for all purposes of the Transaction Documents, including for purposes of conversion, prepayment, and the calculation of any Default Amount. The Restructuring Premium shall be paid as part of the Minimum Installment Payments and in any event in full on or before the Amended Maturity Date, without prejudice to the Lender’s right to apply ATM Financing net proceeds, DACA Account balances, or any prepayment to the Restructuring Premium at any time. Each Minimum Installment Payment shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest at the Amendment Rate and then to the Amended Principal Balance, including the Restructuring Premium. The Minimum Installment Payments have been calculated to amortize the Amended Principal Balance, including the Restructuring Premium, together with all interest accruing at the Amendment Rate, in full on the Amended Maturity Date, and the final Minimum Installment Payment shall be increased or decreased as necessary to pay in full all amounts then outstanding under the Note. Each party acknowledges that the Restructuring Premium is not a penalty or a forfeiture but rather a reasonable estimate, agreed between sophisticated parties represented by counsel, of the Lender’s costs, lost opportunity, and diminished credit position arising from the rescheduling of the Minimum Installment Payments and the extension of the Amended Maturity Date, the actual amount of which would be impracticable or extremely difficult to determine. Interest shall accrue on the Amended Principal Balance from and after July 21, 2026 (the date on which an Event of Default would first have occurred under Section 5(a)(i) of the Note but for the Accommodation) at the rate of nineteen percent (19%) per annum, compounded daily on the basis of a 360-day year (the “Amendment Rate”), calculated on the Amended Principal Balance outstanding from time to time after giving effect to payments applied thereto. Interest accruing at the Amendment Rate is in addition to, and does not duplicate, the Restructuring Premium, which compensates the Lender solely for the period ending on July 21, 2026. Neither the Restructuring Premium nor interest at the Amendment Rate limits, satisfies, or is in lieu of any liquidated damages, fees, costs, or other amounts included in the definition of “Default Amount” in Section 1 of the Note, all of which remain payable in accordance with the Note. Interest accruing at the Amendment Rate shall be payable as part of the Minimum Installment Payments, provided that the Lender may apply ATM Financing net proceeds, DACA Account balances, or any prepayment to accrued interest at any time.

** **

** **

**Section 4.6 Amendment Conversion Price; Make Whole Shares. **Notwithstanding any holding period or other restriction on conversion set forth in Section 2 of the Note, from and after the Amendment Date and without regard to whether an Event of Default has occurred, the Lender may convert all or any portion of the Amended Principal Balance, including the Restructuring Premium and all accrued and unpaid interest at the Amendment Rate, into shares of Common Stock at a price per share (the “Amendment Conversion Price”) equal to the greater of (a) seventy percent (70%) of the lowest volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock during the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the applicable conversion date and (b) the Floor Price. If the Floor Price applies to any conversion at the Amendment Conversion Price, the Company shall issue Make Whole Shares calculated in accordance with the Note as though such conversion were a conversion of the Default Amount, and to the extent the issuance of any Make Whole Shares would cause the Maximum Conversion Shares to be exceeded absent Stockholder Approval, the Company shall settle the value of such excess in cash, in immediately available funds, within three (3) Business Days of the applicable conversion date, valued at the closing market price of the Common Stock on such conversion date. Conversions at the Amendment Conversion Price remain subject to (i) the Maximum Conversion Shares as defined in the Loan Agreement, which, as provided in the Note, may not exceed the Exchange Cap of 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock calculated on a non-diluted basis absent Stockholder Approval, (ii) the Beneficial Ownership Cap of 4.99% of the Company’s then-outstanding Common Stock, which the Lender may increase to 9.99% in its sole discretion upon notice to the Company, and (iii) the Conversion Price Reductions set forth in the Note, and the Maximum Conversion Shares shall be subject to appropriate increase upon any reduction of the Amendment Conversion Price thereunder.

**Section 4.7 Default Rate Step-Up. **If at any time after the Amendment Date an Event of Default occurs, including any Event of Default arising under Section 2.2 hereof upon the voiding of the Accommodation, then, in addition to and without limiting the Default Amount or any other right or remedy of the Lender under the Transaction Documents, the Amendment Rate shall automatically increase from nineteen percent (19%) per annum to twenty-four percent (24%) per annum, compounded daily on the basis of a 360-day year, without notice, demand, or any further act of the Lender, and shall continue at such increased rate until all Obligations have been paid in full. Such increase shall apply retroactively to the entire period from and after July 21, 2026, and interest for that period shall be recalculated at twenty-four percent (24%) per annum in lieu of, and not in addition to, interest previously accrued at nineteen percent (19%) per annum. All interest accruing at the increased rate shall be due and payable on demand and, if not paid, shall be added to and constitute principal of the Note for all purposes of the Transaction Documents, including for purposes of conversion at the Amendment Conversion Price, and shall be secured by the Collateral and guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantor under the Guaranty. Each party acknowledges that the increased rate is a reasonable estimate, agreed between sophisticated parties represented by counsel, of the additional cost and risk to the Lender of a further Event of Default following the accommodations granted herein, and is not a penalty or a forfeiture.

** **
