to up to 6.0% of the Units that are sold to subscribers introduced by such parties.
In connection with its participation in the Private Placement, the Corporation granted a participation right
to Crescat Portfolio Management LLC ("

additional securities of the Corporation in future offerings of securities of the Corporation to maintain its
proportional percentage, pursuant to the terms of a participation rights agreement dated March 10,
2022.
