Each Merchant hereby acknowledges that until the Receivables Purchased Amount has been received in full by HHC, each Merchant’s Receivables, up to the balance of the Receivables Purchased Amount, are the property of HHC and not the property of any Merchant. Each Merchant agrees that it is a fiduciary for HHC and that each Merchant will hold Receivables in trust for HHC in its capacity as a fiduciary for HHC. The Receivables Purchased Amount shall be paid to HHC by each Merchant irrevocably authorizing only one depositing account acceptable to HHC (the “Account”) to remit the percentage specified above (the “Specified Percentage”) of each Merchant’s settlement amounts due from each transaction, until such time as HHC receives payment in full of the Receivables Purchased Amount. Each Merchant hereby authorizes HHC to ACH debit the specified remittances and any applicable fees listed in Section 2 from the Account on a daily basis as of the next business day after the date of this Agreement and will provide HHC with all required access codes and monthly bank statements. Each Merchant understands that it will be held responsible for any fees resulting from a rejected ACH attempt or an Event of Default (see Section 2). HHC is not responsible for any overdrafts or rejected transactions that may result from HHC’s ACH debiting the Specified Percentage amounts under the terms of this Agreement. 2. Additional Fees. In addition to the Receivables Purchased Amount, each Merchant will be held responsible to HHC for the following fees, where applicable: A. $ 22,848.87 - to cover underwriting and the ACH debit program, as well as related expenses. This will be deducted from payment of the Purchase Price. B. Wire Fee ‐ Merchant(s) shall receive funding electronically to the Account and will be charged $50.00 for a Fed Wire or $0.00 for a bank ACH. This will be deducted from payment of the Purchase Price. C. Blocked Account/Default ‐ $2,500.00 ‐ If HHC considers an Event of Default to have taken place under Section 32. D. UCC Fee ‐ $195.00 – to cover HHC filing a UCC-1 financing statement to secure its interest in the Receivables Purchased Amount. A $195.00 UCC termination fee will be charged if a UCC filing is terminated. E. Court costs, arbitration fees, collection agency fees, attorney fees, expert fees, and any other expenses incurred in litigation, arbitration, or the enforcement of any of HHC’s legal or contractual rights against each Merchant and/or each Guarantor, if required, as explained in other Sections of this Agreement. F. Additional Funding/ “Stacking” Fee: Equal to 25% of Initial Purchase Price – As a result of the MERCHANT/GUARANTOR taking additional funding at any point after being funded by Purchaser, without prior notice to and consent by Purchaser, a fee equal to 25%of the amount of the Purchase Price shall automatically be added to the payback amount of the advance. Purchaser reserves the right to declare the account in default, at any point after learning that such “stacking” has occurred; regardless of the payments made by the MERCHANT/GUARANTOR. 3. Cap on Collection of the Receivables Purchased Amount. The amount that HHC will collect from Merchant(s) towards the Receivables Purchased Amount during any specific Daily will be capped at $ 3,399.55 (the “Cap”). If the Specified Percentage of all Receivables for a specific Daily is less than the Cap, then in addition to the Specified Percentage of Receivables for that Daily , HHC will be permitted to collect any Receivables it did not previously collect due to the Cap such that the total amount collected during that Daily does not exceed the Cap. The Cap is not applicable to make up for a business day on which HHC is closed and does not ACH debit the Account, to subsequent attempts to collect a rejected or blocked ACH payment, to debit any amount due pursuant to a reconciliation as set forth in I have read and agree to the terms and conditions set forth above: Ru Whn} Name: Lawrence Henry McClure Jr Name: Title: Owner Title: Date: 4/11/2024 Date: FILED: KINGS COUNTY CLERK 07/03/2024 12:41 PM INDEX NO. 518170/2024 DocuSign Envelope ID: 53D10C9B-4191-4F2C-9BC9-4047DE1DCE1B NYSCEF DOC.

Reconciliations. Any Merchant may request that HHC conduct a reconciliation in order to ensure that the amount that HHC has collected equals the Specified Percentage of Merchant(s)’s Receivables under this Agreement. A request for a reconciliation by any Merchant must be made by giving written notice of the request to HHC or by sending an e-mail to INFO@HIGHLANDHILLCAP.COM stating that a reconciliation is being requested. In order to effectuate the reconciliation, any Merchant must produce with its request the login and password for the Account and any and all statements covering the period from the date of this Agreement through the date of the request for a reconciliation. HHC will complete each reconciliation requested by any Merchant within two business days after receipt of proper notice of a request for one accompanied by the information and documents required for it. HHC may also conduct a reconciliation on its own at any time by reviewing Merchant(s)’s Receivables covering the period from the date of this Agreement until the date of initiation of the reconciliation, each such reconciliation will be completed within two business days after its initiation, and HHC will give each Merchant written notice of the determination made based on the reconciliation within one business day after its completion. If a reconciliation determines that HHC collected more than it was entitled to, then HHC will credit to the Account all amounts to which HHC was not entitled. If a reconciliation determines that HHC collected less than it was entitled to, then HHC will debit from the Account all additional amounts to which HHC was entitled. Nothing herein limits the amount of times that a reconciliation may be requested or conducted. 5. Prepayments. Although there is no obligation to do so, any Merchant may prepay any amount towards the Receivables Purchased Amount. There will be no penalty for any prepayment made by any Merchant. Any Merchant may elect to terminate this Agreement by prepaying HHC the amount of the balance of the Receivables Purchased Amount at that time. 6. Merchant Deposit Agreement. Merchant(s) shall appoint a bank acceptable to HHC, to obtain electronic fund transfer services and/or “ACH” payments. Merchant(s) shall provide HHC and/or its authorized agent with all of the information, authorizations, and passwords necessary to verify each Merchant’s Receivables. Merchant(s) shall authorize HHC and/or its agent(s) to deduct the amounts owed to HHC for the Receivables as specified herein from settlement amounts which would otherwise be due to each Merchant and to pay such amounts to HHC by permitting HHC to withdraw the Specified Percentage by ACH debiting of the account. The authorization shall be irrevocable absent HHC’s written consent. 7. Term of Agreement. The term of this Agreement is indefinite and shall continue until HHC receives the full Receivables Purchased Amount, or earlier if terminated pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

HHC may use automated telephone dialing, text messaging systems, and e-mail to provide messages to Merchant(s), Owner(s) (Owner being defined as each person who signs this Agreement on behalf of a Merchant), and Guarantor(s) about Merchant(s)’s account.

Accuracy of Information Furnished by Merchant and Investigation Thereof. To the extent set forth herein, each of the parties is obligated upon his, her, or its execution of the Agreement to all terms of the Agreement. Each Merchant and each Owner signing this Agreement represent that he or she is authorized to sign this Agreement for each Merchant, legally binding said Merchant to its obligations under this Agreement and that the information provided herein and in all of HHC’s documents, forms, and recorded interview(s) is true, accurate, and complete in all respects. HHC may produce a monthly statement reflecting the delivery of the Specified Percentage of Receivables from Merchant(s) to HHC. An investigative report may be made in connection with the Agreement. Each Merchant and each Owner signing this Agreement authorize HHC, its agents and representatives, and any credit‐reporting agency engaged by HHC, to (i) investigate any references given or any other statements obtained from or about each Merchant or any of its Owners for the purpose of this Agreement, and (ii) pull credit report at any time now or for so long as any Merchant and/or Owners(s) continue to have any obligation to HHC under this Agreement or for HHC’s ability to determine any Merchant’s eligibility to enter into any future agreement with HHC. Any misrepresentation made by any Merchant or Owner in connection with this Agreement may constitute a separate claim for fraud or intentional misrepresentation. Authorization for soft pulls: Each Merchant and each Owner understands that by signing this Agreement, they are providing ‘written instructions’ to HHC under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, authorizing HHC to obtain information from their personal credit profile or other information from Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax.

I have read and agree to the terms and conditions set forth above: Ru Whn} Name: Lawrence Henry McClure Jr Name: Title: Owner Title: Date: 4/11/2024 Date: FILED: KINGS COUNTY CLERK 07/03/2024 12:41 PM INDEX NO. 518170/2024 DocuSign Envelope ID: 53D10C9B-4191-4F2C-9BC9-4047DE1DCE1B NYSCEF DOC.

In no event will HHC be liable for any claims asserted by any Merchant under any legal theory for lost profits, lost revenues, lost business opportunities, exemplary, punitive, special, incidental, indirect, or consequential damages, each of which is waived by each Merchant and each Guarantor. 15. Sale of Receivables. Each Merchant and HHC agree that the Purchase Price under this Agreement is in exchange for the Receivables Purchased Amount and that such Purchase Price is not intended to be, nor shall it be construed as a loan from HHC to any Merchant. HHC is entering into this Agreement knowing the risks that each Merchant’s business may decline or fail, resulting in HHC not receiving the Receivables Purchased Amount. Any Merchant going bankrupt or going out of business or experiencing a slowdown in business or a delay in collecting Receivables will not on its own without anything more be considered a breach of this Agreement. Each Merchant agrees that the Purchase Price in exchange for the Receivables pursuant to this Agreement equals the fair market value of such Receivables. HHC has purchased and shall own all the Receivables described in this Agreement up to the full Receivables Purchased Amount as the Receivables are created. Payments made to HHC in respect to the full amount of the Receivables shall be conditioned upon each Merchant’s sale of products and services and the payment therefor by each Merchant’s customers in the manner provided in this Agreement. Although certain jurisdictions require the disclosure of an Annual Percentage Rate or APR in connection with this Agreement, those disclosures do not change the fact that the transaction encompassed by this Agreement is not a loan and does not have an interest rate. 16. Power of Attorney. Each Merchant irrevocably appoints HHC as its agent and attorney-in-fact with full authority to take any action or execute any instrument or document to settle all obligations due to HHC, or, if HHC considers an Event of Default to have taken place under Section 32, to settle all obligations due to HHC from each Merchant, including without limitation (i) to obtain and adjust insurance; (ii) to collect monies due or to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral (which is defined in Section 31); (iii) to receive, endorse and collect any checks, notes, drafts, instruments, documents, or chattel paper in connection with clause (i) or clause (ii) above; (iv) to sign each Merchant’s name on any invoice, bill of lading, or assignment directing customers or account debtors to make payment directly to HHC; and (v) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceeding which HHC may deem necessary for the collection of any of the unpaid Receivables Purchased Amount from the Collateral, or otherwise to enforce its rights with respect to payment of the Receivables Purchased Amount. 17. Protections Against Default. The following Protections 1 through 7 may be invoked by HHC, immediately and without notice to any Merchant in the event HHC considers any Event of Default listed in Section 32 to have taken place. Protection 1: The full uncollected Receivables Purchased Amount plus all fees due under this Agreement may become due and payable in full immediately. Protection 2. HHC may enforce the provisions of the Guarantee against Guarantor. Protection 3. HHC may enforce its security interest in the Collateral identified in Section 31. Protection 4. HHC may proceed to protect and enforce its rights and remedies by litigation or arbitration. Protection 5. If requested by HHC, Merchant shall deliver to HHC an executed assignment of lease of each Merchant’s premises in favor of HHC. Upon breach of any provision in this Section 17, HHC may exercise its rights under such assignment of lease. Protection 6. HHC may debit any Merchant’s depository accounts wherever situated by means of ACH debit or electronic or facsimile signature on a computer-generated check drawn on any Merchant’s bank account or otherwise, in an amount consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Protection 7. HHC will have the right, without waiving any of its rights and remedies and without notice to any Merchant and/or Guarantor, to notify each Merchant’s credit card and/or check processor of the sale of Receivables hereunder and to direct such credit card processor to make payment to HHC of all or any portion of the amounts received by such credit card processor on behalf of each Merchant. Each Merchant hereby grants to HHC an irrevocable power-of- attorney, which power-of-attorney will be coupled with an interest, and hereby appoints HHC and its representatives as each Merchant’s attorney-in-fact to take any and all action necessary to direct such new or additional credit card and/or check processor to make payment to HHC as contemplated by this Section. I have read and agree to the terms and conditions set forth above: Ru Whn} Name: Lawrence Henry McClure Jr Name: Title: Owner Title: Date: 4/11/2024 Date: FILED: KINGS COUNTY CLERK 07/03/2024 12:41 PM INDEX NO. 518170/2024 DocuSign Envelope ID: 53D10C9B-4191-4F2C-9BC9-4047DE1DCE1B NYSCEF DOC.

Each Merchant understands and agrees that the terms and conditions of the products and services offered by HHC, including this Agreement and any other HHC documents (collectively, “Confidential Information”) are proprietary and confidential information of HHC. Accordingly, unless disclosure is required by law or court order, Merchant(s) shall not disclose Confidential Information of HHC to any person other than an attorney, accountant, financial advisor, or employee of any Merchant who needs to know such information for the purpose of advising any Merchant (“Advisor”), provided such Advisor uses such information solely for the purpose of advising any Merchant and first agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Section 19. 20. D/B/As.

Each Merchant has a continuing affirmative obligation to advise HHC of any material adverse change in its financial condition, operation, or ownership. 22. Governmental Approvals.

Each Merchant represents, warrants, and covenants that as of the date of this Agreement, it does not contemplate and has not filed any petition for bankruptcy protection under Title 11 of the United States Code and there has been no involuntary petition brought or pending against any Merchant. Each Merchant further warrants that it does not anticipate filing any such bankruptcy petition and it does not anticipate that an involuntary petition will be filed against it. 28.

Each Merchant represents, warrants, and covenants that it has good, complete, and marketable title to all Receivables, free and clear of any and all liabilities, liens, claims, changes, restrictions, conditions, options, rights, mortgages, security interests, equities, pledges, and encumbrances of any kind or nature whatsoever or any other rights or interests that may be inconsistent with this Agreement or adverse to the interests of HHC, other than any for which HHC has actual or constructive knowledge as of the date of this Agreement. 29.

The parties acknowledge and agree that any security interest granted to HHC under any other agreement between any Merchant or Guarantor and HHC (the “Cross‐Collateral”) will secure the obligations hereunder and under this Agreement. Negative Pledge: Each Merchant agrees not to create, incur, assume, or permit to exist, directly or indirectly, any lien on or with respect to any of the Collateral or the Cross‐Collateral, as applicable.
