SCHEDULE A

SUMMARY OF ASSIGNED INTERESTS

The following table summarizes the membership interests assigned pursuant to Assignment No. 1, Assignment No. 2, and Assignment No. 3 of this instrument, each effective as of December 15, 2025:

The fair market values set forth in this Schedule A, including the pre-discount fair market values and the twenty percent (20%) combined discount for lack of marketability ("DLOM") and lack of control ("DLOC") applied uniformly across all three entities, are based upon and supported by the qualified appraisal report prepared by Hargrove & Lindquist LLP, dated November 3, 2025 (the "Appraisal"). The Appraisal was prepared under the direction of Dennis W. Hargrove, ASA, CFA, Managing Director, and satisfies the requirements for a "qualified appraisal" within the meaning of Section 170(f)(11)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and Treasury Regulation Section 1.170A-17. The Combined discount reflects a blended discount derived from the application of both a discount for lack of marketability and a discount for lack of control, the methodologies for which are set forth in detail in the Appraisal.

The aggregate post-discount fair market value of all three membership interests ($40,000,000) equals the aggregate purchase price payable by Assignee to Assignor under the MIPA, and corresponds to the original principal amount of the Secured Promissory Note dated December 15, 2025.
