Commercial Terms Negotiation Matrix: This matrix compares the perspectives of Pacific Sequoia Holdings, LLC (Ion Yadigaroglu) and Erthos, Inc. (Jim Tyler) across all 11 operative deal terms, showing how each commercial understanding has been codified into the 1st Draft Term Sheet and Warrant Agreement.
Item Topic & Section PSH Perspective (Ion) Erthos Position (Jim) Codified 1st Draft Provision Status
M-01 Parties & Corporate Context Term Sheet §2.1; Warrant Preamble & Recitals PSH (Pacific Sequoia Holdings, LLC) is the lender providing the multi-million credit facility and needs equity participation at the parent holding company level (Erthos, Inc.) rather than project-level LLCs, securing upside in the overall enterprise. Agrees that parent Erthos, Inc. corporate equity is the cleanest structure; avoids project-level LLC tax waterfall complexities and circularity between contractor and lender. Borrower remains ErthCap DevCo LLC. Issuer: Erthos, Inc. (Delaware corporation).
Holder: Pacific Sequoia Holdings, LLC (Delaware LLC).
Borrower under Loan: ErthCap DevCo LLC (wholly owned by Erthos Capital, LLC, a direct subsidiary of Erthos, Inc.).
Agreed / 1st Draft
M-02 Consideration & Facility Linkage Term Sheet §2.1; Warrant Recitals; Credit Agreement Am. No. 2 Consideration is provided for agreeing to fund the $38,000,000 Tranche B construction facility under Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement (dated June 1, 2026) at 12.00% p.a. to complete Project Bravo. Concurs. The warrant is specifically tied to the incremental $38.0M Tranche B commitment (raising total facility to $76.5M). Tranche A ($38.5M @ 10%) was pre-existing and carries no equity kicker. Warrant is explicitly recognized as equity consideration and commitment inducement for PSH agreeing to provide the $38,000,000 Tranche B construction loan facility under Amendment No. 2 to finance the construction and commercial operation of Project Bravo. Agreed / 1st Draft
M-03 Coverage & Valuation Term Sheet §2.2; Warrant Preamble & §1.2(a) Seeks 12.00% equity coverage on the $38,000,000 Tranche B commitment, representing $4,560,000.00 in aggregate equity value (discussed between Ion and Jim as ~$4.6M equity upside). Agreed on 12.00% coverage on the $38.0M Tranche B commitment ($4,560,000 fixed aggregate value) to compensate PSH for subordinated/mezzanine construction risk without increasing cash coupon above 12%. Aggregate Equity Value fixed at exactly $4,560,000.00 (Twelve percent (12.00%) of the $38,000,000 Tranche B facility commitment). Agreed / 1st Draft
M-04 Instrument Type & Strike Price Term Sheet §2.2, §2.4; Warrant §1.3 Prefers a fully vested Penny Warrant ($0.01 strike per share) that locks in the full $4.56M equity value rather than an at-the-money option, maximizing economic participation. Acceptable structure. Penny strike ($0.01) delivers agreed value and eliminates subjective FMV strike disputes upon grant, while postponing dilution and governance overhead until actual exercise. Fully vested, ten-year Penny Warrant with Initial Exercise Price of $0.01 per share (the "Penny Strike"), subject to customary proportional structural adjustments. Agreed / 1st Draft
M-05 Underlying Shares & Share Count Formula Term Sheet §2.2, §2.3; Warrant §1.1, §1.2 Underlying security should be Series C Preferred Stock from the next qualified equity financing ($15M+ round) so PSH shares pari passu in the latest institutional rights, liquidation preferences, and valuation; Series B fallback if no round by 12/31/2027. Protects company valuation by calculating shares as $4,560,000 ÷ Series C purchase price (or Series B original issue price / 409A FMV if round hasn't closed). No dilution occurs until the price is established. Warrant Shares = $4,560,000.00 ÷ Applicable Per Share Price.
Primary: Series C Preferred Stock in Next Qualified Financing ($15M+ gross proceeds).
Fallback: Most senior authorized and issued Preferred Stock (e.g. Series B Preferred) at original issue price or Board-determined 409A Fair Market Value.
Agreed / 1st Draft
M-06 Exercise Mechanics & Net Exercise Term Sheet §2.4; Warrant §2.1, §2.2, Exhibit A & B Holder must have the absolute option to exercise via Cash or Net Cashless Exercise, ensuring PSH does not have to outlay capital to capture equity in an M&A, IPO, or expiration event. Net exercise is standard and desirable because it avoids cash handling and minimizes total shares issued (cancels shares to satisfy the nominal $0.01 strike). Exercisable in whole or in part at Holder's option via: (1) Cash Exercise at $0.01/share; or (2) Net / Cashless Exercise via formula X = Y × (A - B) / A.
Share delivery within 3 business days via book-entry DRS statement or certificates.
Agreed / 1st Draft
M-07 Term, Expiration & Liquidity Events Term Sheet §2.4, §2.5; Warrant Preamble, §2.5 10-year term to match long-term venture/energy development horizons; 20 business days advance notice of any Change of Control or Deemed Liquidation Event; automatic cashless conversion if unassumed. Agreed. 10-year duration is standard for venture warrants; automatic cashless conversion ensures PSH participates in exit proceeds without impeding transaction execution or holding up M&A closing. Term: Ten (10) years, expiring September 30, 2036.
Liquidity Events: 20 business days prior written notice of Acquisition / Deemed Liquidation Event. If not assumed by successor, automatic cashless conversion immediately prior to closing.
Agreed / 1st Draft

Critical term for Erthos: zero voting rights, zero board observer seats, zero dividend rights (except anti-dilution), and no stockholder approval drag prior to valid exercise. Warrant confers zero voting rights, dividend rights, liquidation preferences, or other stockholder rights prior to exercise. Cap table reflects clean unexercised derivative with zero governance friction. Agreed / 1st Draft
M-09 Anti-Dilution Protections Term Sheet §2.7; Warrant §4.1–§4.4 Standard proportional anti-dilution adjustments for stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations, and pass-through protection for extraordinary cash/asset distributions. Structural anti-dilution is customary and fair; avoids predatory "full-ratchet" price resets on subsequent equity down-rounds. Proportional mathematical adjustments to Warrant Shares and Exercise Price for subdivisions, combinations, stock dividends, reorganizations, and recapitalizations. Extraordinary distributions pass through upon exercise. Officer certificate required upon adjustment. Agreed / 1st Draft
M-10 Information & Registration Rights Term Sheet §2.8; Warrant §7.1–§7.3 PSH requires quarterly/annual GAAP financials, 15 days advance notice of material corporate actions, and piggyback registration rights on Warrant Shares and conversion Common Stock. Acceptable and standard for major institutional debt/equity partner; financial reporting matches standard information rights already provided to major preferred stockholders. Unaudited quarterly financials (45 days), audited annual GAAP statements (120 days), annual operating budget, 15 business days advance notice of corporate actions, and piggyback registration rights pari passu with Major Investors. Agreed / 1st Draft
M-11 Corporate Approvals & Counsel Checklist Term Sheet §2.10, §2.11; Warrant §3.3 Definitive execution requires full Erthos Board authorization, waiver of preemptive rights under Investor Rights Agreement, and clear tax treatment as an investment unit under IRC § 1273.

Governed by Delaware law (Chancery Court). Requires Erthos Board approval, stockholder consents/waivers, share reservation, and mutual tax reporting under IRC § 1273(c)(2) and Treas. Reg. § 1.1273-2(h) (investment unit debt discount / OID allocation). Agreed / 1st Draft
