The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. In the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed not to (i) issue or enter into an agreement to issue any shares of Common Stock and/or Common Stock equivalents or (ii) effect or enter into an agreement to effect a variable rate transaction, in each case for a period of 30 days from the date of the Purchase Agreement, subject to certain exceptions.

The Offering is being made pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-290231), which was previously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 12, 2025 and declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 22, 2025.

On October 6, 2025, the Company also entered into a placement agent agreement (the “Placement Agreement”) with D. Boral Capital LLC, as the placement agent (the “Placement Agent”), in connection with the Offering. Pursuant to the terms of the Placement Agreement, the Placement Agent agreed to use reasonable best efforts to arrange for the sale of the Shares and the Warrants. Pursuant to the terms of the Placement Agreement, the Company will pay the Placement Agent a fee equal to 5.75% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Shares and the Warrants. The Company also agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent at the closing of the Offering, for expenses incurred, including disbursements of its legal counsel, in an amount not to exceed an aggregate of $100,000. Additionally, the Placement Agent will be entitled to 6.0% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of any equity, debt and/or equity derivative instruments to any Qualified Investors, as defined in the Placement Agreement, in connection with any public or private financing or capital raise (each a “Tail Financing”) and such Tail Financing is consummated at any time within the six-month period (or 12-month period, in the case of certain Qualified Investors) following the expiration or termination of the Placement Agreement, provided that such Tail Financing is by a party actually introduced to the Company in any offering in which the Company has direct knowledge of such party’s participation. The Placement Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Placement Agent, including for liabilities under the Securities Act, other obligations of the parties, and termination provisions.

The Purchase Agreement and Placement Agreement contain customary representations and warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions that the parties made to, and solely for the benefit of, each other in the context of all of the terms and conditions of such agreements and in the context of the specific relationship between the parties thereto. The provisions of the Purchase Agreement and Placement Agreement, including any representations and warranties contained therein, are not for the benefit of any party other than the parties thereto (except with respect to certain representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement that are for the benefit of the Placement Agent) and are not intended as documents for investors and the public to obtain factual information about the current state of affairs of the parties thereto. Rather, investors and the public should look to other disclosures contained in the Company’s annual, quarterly and current reports the Company may file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
