CLM-001
Claim
$250,000 outstanding debt from 2019 agreement
The 2023 amended agreement explicitly acknowledges that $250,000 in fees remain outstanding and payable by Cyberlux to Consultant under the original 2019 agreement. Of this amount, $125,000 has been due and owing for more than one year, triggering promissory note conversion rights under the original agreement terms.

The Parties agree and acknowledge that $125,000.00 of such amount has been due and owing in excess of one year, and therefore, in accordance with the terms of the Existing Agreement, Consultant has a right, at any time, to require a promissory note be made by Cyberlux payable to Consultant, on, and subject to the terms contemplated by the Existing Agreement.
CLM-002
Claim

Under both the 2019 and 2023 agreements, Consultant reserves the right to convert unpaid principal and accrued interest into shares of Cyberlux common stock.

Claim
Comprehensive indemnification obligations
The 2023 agreement requires Cyberlux to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Consultant and affiliates from all costs 'to the greatest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada' arising from Cyberlux's acts or omissions, breaches of the agreement, or any action brought against Cyberlux or Consultant relating to services or relationship with Cyberlux.

TEN-001
Tension
Conflict of interest acknowledgment for commissionable contracts
The 2023 agreement explicitly acknowledges that Consultant or an affiliate may have pre-existing relationships with parties to Commissionable Contracts, including ownership interests in Cyberlux counterparties, creating potential conflicts of interest. Agreement states commissions remain payable despite such conflicts and that contracts may require disclosure as 'related party transactions.'
Page 13 — Cyberlux agrees and acknowledges that Consultant or an affiliate of Consultant may have a pre-existing relationship with one or more parties with whom Cyberlux enters into a Commissionable Contract, including without limitation an ownership interest in a counterparty to Cyberlux.Such pre-existing relationship may causeca conflict of interest between Consultant and Cyberlux in respect of any Commissionable Contract. In addition, Cyberlux may be required to disclose such a Commissionable Contract as a "related party transaction," and may have internal procedures in respect of "related party transactions." Commissions (and Fees and expenses (pursuant to Section 3.4)) shall be payable hereunder despite any interest Consultant may have in Cyberlux's counterparty to any such Commissionable Contract.
TEN-002
Tension
Underpayment penalties and audit rights
The 2023 agreement establishes strict audit rights for Consultant to review Cyberlux books regarding Commissionable Contracts. If commission underpayment exceeds 10% of amount due in any month, parties agree this represents 'willful misconduct or gross negligence' requiring cure within 10 business days plus 10% payment premium. Consultant has ongoing access to books for duration of commission payments plus two years.
Page 13, 14 — For so long as Commissions are payable pursuant to this Section 3.3 and for a period of two years thereafter, Consultant shall have access to the books and records of Cyberlux in respect of all Commissionable Contracts in order to review and confirm the amounts payable as Commission. In respect of any underpayment of Commission, Cyberlux will pay interest on such underpayment at a rate of one percent (1%) per month; provided that if any payment in respect of any Commissionable Contract is underpaid by an amount in excess of ten percent (10%) of the amount payable thereunder in any month, the Parties agree that such underpayment represents willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of Cyberlux, and must be cured within ten (10) business days with an additional payment premium of an amount equal to ten (10) percent of the underpayment amount.
TEN-003
Tension
Advancement and escrow requirements for indemnification
The 2023 agreement requires Cyberlux to advance all indemnification expenses and deposit anticipated costs into escrow with Consultant's counsel. Consultant Indemnitees are compensated at their normal hourly rate for time spent in indemnifiable matters. If Cyberlux fails to pay when due, counsel may release escrow funds at their discretion. Each Consultant Indemnitee may have separate counsel if conflicts exist.
Page 19, 20 — In connection with indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1, Cyberlux Indemnitees will be entitled to retain counsel of their own choosing (and separate counsel for each Cyberlux Indemnitee to the extent such Cyberlux Indemnitees may have separate defenses or actual or potential conflicts of interests such that they cannot reasonably be expected (to be represented by a single firm or counsel)... at any time that indemnification may be sought under Section 8.1 or the coverage of Costs under this Section 8.2, in addition to the reimbursement of Costs, as incurred (within five business days of invoice therefor), including, without limitation, the advance payment of any retainer amount reasonably requested by counsel to Consultant Indemnitees (or any of them), Cyberlux shall deposit with counsel to Consultant Idemnitee, to hold in escrow, an amount reasonably anticipated by such counsel to reflect the aggregate amount of Costs in connection with such indemnifiable matter... each Cyberlux Indemnitee shall be compensated at such Consultant Indemnitee's normal hourly rate for the time reasonably required for such Consultant Indemnitee to provide testimony, assert a defense or otherwise participate in an action in respect of which indemnification is required... If any amount payable under Section 8.3 or this Section 8.4 is not paid when due and payable hereunder, counsel to such Consultant Indemnitee is hereby permitted in such counsel's reasonable discretion to release amounts from escrow to the applicable Consultant Indemnitee(s).
QST-001
Question
Payment status of outstanding obligations
Has Cyberlux paid the $250,000 acknowledged as outstanding from the 2019 agreement? Has the $600,000 Datron advisory fee been paid? Have promissory notes been issued for any unpaid amounts as contemplated in the agreement? What is the current status of UCC financing statements referenced in the agreement?

QST-002
Question
Commission payment compliance and amounts
What total commissions have been paid to Consultant under the commission structure? Are monthly statements being provided as required? Have any underpayments occurred triggering the 10% penalty provisions? What is the gross value of payments under the Ukraine drone contract(s) and resulting commission amounts?
Page 13, 14 — During the term hereof, and for two years after the termination of the provision of Services under this Agreement, Cyberlux will, within the first five (5) business days of each month provide Consultant with a statement of all payments made under Commissionable Contracts in the prior month, together with payment of the Commission in respect thereof... if any payment in respect of any Commissionable Contract is underpaid by an amount in excess of ten percent (10%) of the amount payable thereunder in any month, the Parties agree that such underpayment represents willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of Cyberlux
QST-003
Question
Nature of consultant's relationships with contract counterparties
What specific pre-existing relationships or ownership interests does Consultant or its affiliates have with parties to Commissionable Contracts? Are there ownership interests in the Ukraine Ministry of Defense contractor or intermediaries? Has Cyberlux disclosed these arrangements as related party transactions in any public filings or internal governance processes?
Page 13 — Cyberlux agrees and acknowledges that Consultant or an affiliate of Consultant may have a pre-existing relationship with one or more parties with whom Cyberlux enters into a Commissionable Contract, including without limitation an ownership interest in a counterparty to Cyberlux.Such pre-existing relationship may causeca conflict of interest between Consultant and Cyberlux in respect of any Commissionable Contract. In addition, Cyberlux may be required to disclose such a Commissionable Contract as a "related party transaction," and may have internal procedures in respect of "related party transactions."
QST-004
Question
Datron acquisition completion and terms
Was the Datron World Communications acquisition completed? If so, on what terms and for what consideration? Were Datron products subsequently sold under Commissionable Contracts generating additional commissions? What is the current operational status of Datron within Cyberlux?
Page 27 — Due diligence and negotiations in respect of the acquisition by Cyberlux of Datron World Communications, Inc. ("Datron"). $600,000 flat fee in respect thereof.

INF-001
Inference
Financial distress indicators
The contract structure suggests Cyberlux experienced significant cash flow challenges between 2019-2023. Evidence includes: $250,000 in unpaid consulting fees accumulating over four years from a $40,000/year agreement, debt conversion mechanisms with favorable terms to creditor (1% monthly interest, low conversion prices), and the need for explicit provisions requiring advance notice before taking on superior debt. The escalation from $40,000 to $250,000 annual fees while carrying substantial unpaid obligations indicates either dramatic business growth or restructuring of past-due obligations into ongoing costs.
Page 4, 12 — The Parties agree and acknowledge that $250,000.00 of fees remain outstanding and payable by Cyberlux to Consultant under the Existing Agreement... Should Cyberlux fail to pay any undisputed amount by the applicable due date (end of 12 month period), such amount would be deemed to have converted into a one year Promissory Note... Cyberlux shall inform Consultant no less than 10 business days prior to entering into any indebtedness which would by its terms be superior in right of payment to, or ranked pari passu with the promissory notes that Consultant may require be issued
INF-002
Inference
Strategic role in Ukraine defense business
The consultant appears to play a critical business development role specifically for Ukraine-related defense contracts, evidenced by: higher commission rate (5% vs 2% general), specific identification of Ukraine Ministry of Defense tactical drone contract as a Commissionable Contract, and the contract's execution timeline (amended agreement January 2023, Ukraine order September 2022) suggesting the Ukraine business may have prompted renegotiation. The doubling of the drone order from 1,000 to 2,000 units occurred during the consultant relationship.
Page 13, 25, 27 — In addition to the Fees, Consultant shall be entitled to receive two percent (2%), with the exception of any Ukraine-related commercial contracts for which the Consultant shall be entited to five percent (5%)... That certain line of business related to the sale of tactical drones from time to time for use by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, including without limitation, Order no. 220/9169 dated September 21, 2022 for 1,000 tactical drones type FlightEye KOA031831... The Parties desire to memorialize that such order was subsequently increased to 2,000 units, as to which 5% commission is payable pursuant to the Agreement.
INF-003
Inference
Datron acquisition significance
The $600,000 flat fee for Datron acquisition advisory represents approximately 2.4 times the original annual consulting fee and 240% of a single year's base fee under the 2023 agreement. This substantial one-time fee, combined with the provision that Datron products become subject to the commission structure, suggests the acquisition was strategically significant for Cyberlux's product portfolio expansion. The timing (January 2023) coincides with the amended agreement execution, indicating possible coordination of major corporate actions.
Page 27 — Due diligence and negotiations in respect of the acquisition by Cyberlux of Datron World Communications, Inc. ("Datron"). $600,000 flat fee in respect thereof. The Parties also desire to acknowledge that the acquisition by Cyberlux of Datron expands the product offerings available to Cyberlux, and acknowledge and agree that Datron products shall be subject to the same commission schedule as existing Cyberlux products under the Agreement.
OMI-001
Omission
Missing exhibits and forms
The 2023 agreement references 'Exhibit A' (form of promissory note) and 'Exhibit B' (Affidavit of Confession of Judgment) that are not included in the document package. These exhibits would contain critical terms for debt conversion including specific conversion mechanics, interest calculation details, and judgment enforcement mechanisms. Their absence prevents full understanding of the debt conversion rights and enforcement provisions.
Page 12, 14 — For the avoidance of doubt, attached hereto as Exhibit A, is the form of promissory note Cyberlux agrees to issue and make in the above amounts upon demand therefor by Consultant... Cyberlux agrees to execute an Affidavit of Confession of Judgement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and cause to be filed a UCC Financing Statement... At the election of Consultant, Cyberlux will at the end of any calendar year for which amounts payable remain outstanding, provide a promissory note in favor of Consultant (or Consultant's designee(s)), substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto
OMI-002
Omission
No performance metrics or success criteria
Despite substantial fees ($250,000 annual base, $600,000 Datron fee, ongoing commissions), neither the 2019 nor 2023 agreements contain measurable performance metrics, deliverable specifications, or success criteria for the consulting services. The scope remains broadly defined ('such other services as Cyberlux may reasonably request'). There is no documentation of work product requirements, reporting obligations, or mechanisms to assess whether services are being satisfactorily performed beyond general 'workmanlike and professional manner' language.
Page 9, 11, 25 — Consultant agrees to provide the following Services: · Assist Cyberlux with identification of acquisition targets and provision of strategic business management advice regarding completion of such acquisitions. · Assist with identification of business development opportunities involving Cyberlux's portfolio of products and services; and · Such other services as Cyberlux may reasonably request of Consultant... Consultant shall provide to Cyberlux the services set forth in Schedule 1 (the "Services")in a workmanlike and professional manner
