 note (the “2024 Note”). The 2024 Note carries an original issue discount of $350,000 and the Company agreed to pay $10,000 to the Lender to cover its transaction costs, which were deducted from the proceeds of the 2024 Note resulting in a total of $2,000,000 being funded to the Company at closing. The proceeds will be used for general working capital.
    
   The principal amount of the 2024 Note is due eighteen months (18) following the date of issuance. Interest under the 2024 Note accrues at a rate of nine percent (9%) per annum. All repayments of principal due under the 2024 Note will be subject to an exit fee of seven percent (7%) of the principal amount being repaid (the “Exit Fee”). Commencing six months after the date of issuance of the Note (the “Redemption Start Date”), Lender shall have the right to redeem up to $270,000 of principal amount under the 2024 Note each month which amount plus the Exit Fee will be due and payable three (3) business days after Lender’s delivery of a redemption notice to the Company. At the end of each month following the Redemption Start Date, if the Company has not reduced the outstanding balance under the 2024 Note by at least $270,000, then by the fifth (5th) day of the following month, the Company must either pay to Lender the difference between $270,000 and the amount, if any, redeemed in such month plus the Exit Fee, or the outstanding balance due under the Note will automatically increase by one percent (1%).
    
   The 2024 Note is secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets and properties and the Company’s obligations under the Note are guaranteed by Pistol Star, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The 2024 Note can be prepaid in whole or in part without penalty at any time. In the event that the Company receives any proceeds in connection with any fundraising or financing transaction (including any warrant exercises), it will be required to make a mandatory prepayment equal to the lesser of (i) forty percent (40%) of the amount raised in such transaction and (ii) the full amount due under the 2024 Note.
    
   The 2024 Note provides for customary events of default, including, among other things, the event of non-payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, a
