2.2               No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment and delivery of the Warrant, and compliance with the provisions hereof by the Warrant Holder, do not and will not, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, (a) violate any provision of law, statute, ordinance, rule or regulation or any ruling, writ, injunction, order, judgment or decree of any court, administrative agency or other governmental body or authority, or (b) result in any breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under, or result in the creation of any lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance upon any of the properties or assets of the Warrant Holder, under the organizational documents of the Warrant Holder, or any note, indenture, mortgage or lease, or any other material contract or other instrument, document or agreement to which the Warrant Holder is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound or affected. The Warrant Holder is not a party to, subject to or bound by any agreement or any judgment, order, writ, prohibition, injunction or decree of any court or other governmental body or authority which would prevent the execution or delivery of this Agreement by the Warrant Holder or the sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment and delivery of the Warrant to the Company pursuant to the terms hereof.

2.3               Consents. All consents, approvals or authorizations of, or registrations, filings or declarations with, any governmental body or authority or any other person or entity required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Warrant Holder of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby have been obtained by the Warrant Holder and are in full force and effect.

2.4               Good Title; No Liens. The Warrant Holder is the sole owner of, and has good, valid and marketable title to, the Warrant, free and clear of any and all Liens other than restrictions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and applicable state securities laws. Other than the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, there is no outstanding vote, plan, pending proposal, or other right of any person to acquire all or any portion of the Warrant. As used herein, “Liens” shall mean any security or other property interest or right, claim, lien, pledge, option, charge, security interest, contingent or conditional sale, or other title claim or retention agreement, interest or other right or claim of third parties, whether perfected or not perfected, voluntarily incurred or arising by operation of law, and including any agreement (other than this Agreement) to grant or submit to any of the foregoing in the future. The Warrant Holder does not hold any Common Stock or additional rights or warrants to purchase Common Stock other than the Warrant. Upon consummation of the repurchase contemplated hereby, the Company will acquire from the Warrant Holder good, valid and marketable title to the Warrant, free and clear of all Liens.

2.5               Investment Representations. The Warrant Holder acknowledges that the Company may possess such material, non-public information about the Company that has not been disclosed to the Warrant Holder. The Warrant Holder acknowledges and agrees that except for the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3, the Company makes no representations or warranties with respect to itself, its business, results of operations, future prospects, financial condition or otherwise and the Warrant Holder is not relying upon any statement of fact or omission to state any fact by the Company. The Warrant Holder has received and carefully reviewed the Company’ s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, all subsequent public filings of the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, other publicly available information regarding the Company, and such other information that it and its advisers deem necessary to make its decision to enter into this Agreement. The Warrant Holder has evaluated the merits and risks of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement based exclusively on its own independent review and consultations with such investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers as it deemed necessary. The Warrant Holder has made its own decision concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without reliance on any representation or warranty of, or advice from, the Company. Neither the Company nor any of its directors, officers, shareholders, employees and agents (i) has been requested to or has provided the Warrant Holder with any information or advice with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby nor is such information or advice necessary or desired, or (ii) has made or makes any representation as to the Company, the Warrant or the Warrant Documentation except as expressly set forth in Section 3. The Warrant Holder acknowledges and understands that the Company possesses material nonpublic information regarding itself not known to the Warrant Holder that may affect the value of the Warrant, (the “Information”), and that the Company is not disclosing the Information to the Warrant Holder. The Warrant Holder understands, based on its experience, the disadvantage to which it is subject due to the disparity of information between the Warrant Holder and the Company. Notwithstanding such disparity, the Warrant Holder has deemed it appropriate to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The Warrant Holder agrees that none of the Company or its affiliates, principals, stockholders, directors, officers, employees and agents shall have any liability to the Warrant Holder or its affiliates, principals, stockholders, partners, employees, agents, grantors or beneficiaries, whatsoever due to or in connection with the Company’s non-disclosure of the Information or otherwise as a result of the transaction contemplated hereby, and the Warrant Holder hereby irrevocably waives any claim that it might have based on the failure of the Company to disclose the Information. The Warrant Holder acknowledges that (x) the Company is relying on the Warrant Holder’s representations, warranties, acknowledgments and agreements in this Agreement as a condition to proceeding with the transaction contemplated hereby, and (y) without such representations, warranties and agreements, the Company would not enter into this Agreement or engage in such transaction.

The Company initially issued the Warrant to Slipstream in 2022 in connection with a credit facility provided by Slipstream to the Company, which was subsequently amended and restated twice – June 30, 2022 and October 17, 2024. The Warrant was exercisable for up to an aggregate of 1,731,499 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $6.00. The closing of the Warrant repurchase was completed February 17, 2026 and, upon settlement of the transaction, the Warrant was cancelled. Slipstream no longer owns any warrants to purchase any Company common stock. Additional information about the terms of the Warrant purchase is provided in the Company’s filings with the SEC.

“I am very pleased to announce an agreement with Slipstream to repurchase all of Slipstream’s outstanding warrants, worth upwards of 1.7 million shares of our common stock, for $200,000,” said Rick Mills, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “As the Company continues its strong growth trajectory – and remains on track for its best year ever – the repurchase of these warrants provides greater visibility for the future and our total shares outstanding. We appreciate Slipstream entering into such an agreement, which benefits the Company as well as its shareholders, alleviating potential overhang on our stock. With this transaction under our belt, we look forward to executing on our operating plan and focusing on expansion – as well as higher returns for investors – in the quarters to come.”
