MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
Comes now your Interpleader Defendants, Atlantic Wave Holdings, LLC and Secure
Community, LLC, (jointly as "A WH') and for their Motion for Summary Judgment against
Cyberlux Corporation (CYBL") pursuant to Rule 56, and argue as follows:
STATEMENT OF FACTS
Cyberlux Corporation
CYBL is an OTC publicly traded defense supply contractor formed in Nevada with its
headquarters in North Carolina. HII, also a defense supply contractor operating out of Virginia,
was already operating under a government "Prime Contract" with its customer, the Federal
Systems Integration and Management Center (FEDSIM). HII, as part of its Prime Contract,
sought subcontracts for the production of 2000 drones capable of delivering explosive devices in
the Ukranian/Russian conflict. CYBL was awarded a $78,857,414.20 million dollar subcontract
to supply FEDSIM (the Government), coordinated through HII, on August 29, 2023. CYBL was
paid one-half of the award in advance. The contract was for a fixed term of August 29, 2023
through July 24, 2024. See Exhibit 1.
CYBL, as of February 2022, did not own or produce drones. CYBL, on March 28, 2022,
purchased a small two-person drone company (Catalyst Machineworks LLC) in Texas which
assembled drones in Texas for cinematography purposes. The Catalyst principals then re-tasked
and re-designed their existing model into, theoretically, battle ready drones identified as the K8.

registration requirements, and Schmidt and CYBL refused to make it marketable. Making the
Stock marketable would allow AWH to sell its existing CYBL stock, satisfying the balance of its
claim. This term was palatable to AWH at the time because the drone subcontract was coming
into fruition and CYBL, agreed to pledge the drone payments. Per the fifth recital in the Settlement
Agreement, "Cyberlux anticipates a significant cash inflow connected with the sale of certain
drone products". See Exhibit 3, page two. Per the terms of the Settlement Agreement, AWH
reserved the right to assert breach for CYBL's failure to perform. See Exhibit 3, para 2(e).
The Settlement Agreement was referenced in the Amended Final Judgment Order (the
"Order") entered June 28, 2023. See Exhibit 4. The Order also granted a consent judgment to
AWH for the monetary claim. The Order confirmed that the Settlement Agreement resolved
claims in the pending CL22-3882 complaint and other claims contained within the Settlement
Agreement. The parties further agreed, and the court ordered, that A WH would be granted a
security interest in all property which could be memorialized by UCC-1 filings, at AWH's
discretion.
Specifically, in the Settlement Agreement, at paragraph 7, CYBL agreed and granted
AWH and SC a security interest in CYBL's assets, including, but not limited to, the accounts
receivable for drone sales. See Exhibit 1, para 7. CYBL further agreed to, in good faith, bring
their stock into OTC compliance "in order to permit the trading of such shares on the OTC
Market". See Exhibit 3, para. 8. To induce A WH to settle, the Settlement Agreement provided
for accelerated payments based on anticipated drone sales. Exhibit 3 (para 4(b)). After entry of
the Order, A WH filed the identical UCC-1 lien in North Carolina, Texas and Virginia on July 6,
2023. See Exhbits 5,6,7. On March 20, 2026, A WH filed the same lien in Nevada. See Exhibit
Case 3:25-cv-00483-JAG Document 180 Filed 04/15/26 Page 5 of 20 PagelD# 3807
Berleth, as part of his duties as Receiver, evaluated the Stock Claim advanced by AWH
and SC in CL24-3910 and compromised the figure with AWH and SC. To liquidate and resolve
the Stock Claim, Berleth and AWH entered an agreement (the "Receiver Agreement")
accompanied by a Consent Final Order. The Consent Final Order was entered by the Richmond
Circuit Court on December 18, 2025, providing for judgment against CYBL and Schmidt in the
principal amount of $6,000,000, attorney's fees of $25,250.50, costs of $352.92, and 6% interest
from the date of judgment (the "Consent Final Order"). See Exhibit 9. The Consent Order also
ratified the original Settlement Agreement from CL22-3882 as valid and further ruled that the
Order of Receivership had been properly recorded in the City of Richmond, without objection.
The Consent Order additionally ruled that the Receiver had authority to control and/or manage
litigation incident to his role. See Exhibit 9, page 2.2
CYBL appealed the judgment on February 6, 2026, but has not posted the required
6,000,000 supersedeas bond to suspend execution of the judgment. 3 Accordingly, the claim
advanced by A WH and SC in this Motion are as follows:
The Consent Judgment principal amount from CL24-3910 $6,000,000
$25,250.50 attorney fees from CL24-3910
$352.92 costs incurred in CL24-3910
$66,082.10 interest in the amount of $986.30/day beginning February 5, 2026 through
April 13,2026 from CL24-3910.
$75,000 Reasonable Attorney's fees necessitated by this Interpleader pursuant to the
Settlement Agreement at paragraph 19.
Total: $6,166,685.50
2 The Consent Final Order was re-affirmed on February 5, 2026 after the court denied CYBL's Motion to Reconsider.
The effective date was amended to February 5, 2026, but the judgment figures remained the same as the
December 18, 2025 order.
3 To date, Cyberlux has not posted the appeal bond, and has not advanced a record for purposes of appeal in
violation of the appellate Rules.

AWH states it has been paid and the original CL22-3882 judgment satisfied, limiting any claim to treat that original balance as still owed.

8. The collateral included all assets and included accounts receivable and other rights to
payment and performance including those rights related to drones.
CYBL then breached the first contractual objective in the CL22-3882 claim by failing to
make the required payments. This breach resulted in A WH's filing of a garnishments in Richmond
Circuit Court and Fairfax Circuit Court based on the prior consent judgment entered by the
Richmond Circuit Court in CL22-3882. AWH also domesticated its CL22-3882 Virginia judgment
in Harris County Texas and pursued a Receivership. The Harris County Texas location was the
county in which CYBL (Catalyst Machineworks LLC) assembled the drones. An Order
Appointing Receiver was entered May 22, 2025 which appointed Robert Berleth, Esquire, as a
Receiver for Cyberlux. The Order of Receivership is attached as Exhibit 11 to the First Amended
Complaint and incorporated herein by reference. The Order of Appointment granted broad powers
to Berleth including the grant of power over all causes of action. See First Amended Complaint,
Exhibit 11, Order, Paragraph 25(1.).'
The Stock Claim
CYBL also failed to provide "Marketable Trading" stock as required by paragraph 2(e) of
the Settlement Agreement in CL22-3882 (the "Stock Claim") by December 31, 2023. CYBL'a
stock, if it had been properly administered as required by the Settlement Agreement, would have
had an approximate value exceeding well over 6 million dollars. Based on the reservation of rights
in the Settlement Agreement, AWH and SC re-filed a Complaint to enforce its rights under the
Stock Claim. That Complaint was filed in Richmond Circuit Court on September 9, 2024 and
became case number CL 24-3910.
1 Both the Fairfax garnishment and the Harris County Texas Receivership have been resolved. The Receiver
may have pending claims for fees and expenses from CYBL which is pending in Texas but the enforcement action in
Texas by AWH has been dismissed. The Receiver still retains approximately 2.2 million in the Receivership estate.

not liquidated until the December 18, 2025 and February 5, 2026 orders does not defeat the grant
of the perfected security interest created by the July 6, 2023 UCC-1.
That being the case, A WHI asserts that it is in 2 position behind government, and ahead
of all others, based on the July 6, 2023 filing of UCC-1's in North Carolina and Texas, and based
on the location of the collateral at the time of filing.
Under A WH's worst case scenario, if the UCC-1 was required to be filed in the location
of the Debtor, Nevada, that UCC-1 lien was filed in Nevada on March 20, 2026. Accordingly,
while the same argument advanced by A WH would apply to the date of attachment (June 15,
2023), the secured perfected interest would have become perfected on March 20, 2026. That
would place AWH behind the government and behind Legalist, IF Legalist's liens are valid and
enforceable. That would also place AWH behind the WeSheild group, but only IF WeSheild's
liens are valid and enforceable. A WH disputes that they are enforceable.
AWH is also now a lien creditor under the judgment entered in CL24-3910, as it has filed
a Writ of Fieri Facias which was delivered to the City of Richmond Sheriff on April 10, 2026.

Kemaining Parties
Only three creditors/claimants have UCC-1 filings. Legalist, the WeShield group, and
AWH. The government's lien is statutory and is not challenged as being first in priority. All
other claims are judgment claims (ANPC and TAG), or simply unsecured claims.

AWH contends attachment began June 15, 2023 and perfection July 6, 2023, surviving transformation of equipment/components/drones into identifiable proceeds. It argues the later liquidation of the stock-performance claim does not alter the earlier grant and ranks itself behind Government but ahead of all others. Under its alternative Nevada-filing case, it accepts a March 20, 2026 perfection date and conditional ranking behind Legalist and WeShield if their interests are valid. These are alternative requested rankings.

(c) Perfection of security interest in proceeds. A security interest in proceeds is a
perfected security interest if the security interest in the original collateral was perfected.
Under the analysis, CYBL at all relevant times, and in particular between June 15, 2023
(date of Settlement Agreement), and July 7, 2023 (date of filing UCC) was a Debtor. CYBL
CYBL had an interest in the property, components, equipment, drones, profits, etc. The
UCC filings included after acquired property. AWH was the Secured Party as defined insofar as
the Settlement Agreement was created for the benefit of A WH. The Collateral as defined was
identified in paragraph 7 of the Settlement Agreement. Per 8.9A-201, the Settlement Agreement
served as the Security Agreement in that paragraph seven provided a "full security interest and
lien interest in all of Defendant's assets. See Exhibit 3, para 7. Per 8.9A-201, it was "effective
according to its term between the parties." Accordingly, under 8.9A-203, A WH's security
interest attached on June 15, 2023, when the grant of the security interest was given to A WH by
CYBL. At that time, per 8.9A-203(b)(1) value had been given (compromise of CL22-3882 and
other claims). Per 8.9A-203(b)(2), CYBL had rights in the Collateral. Per 8.9A-203(b)(3)(A),
CYBL had signed the Settlement Agreement which provided a description of the Collateral.
Once attached under 8.9A-203, the security interest became enforceable against the
debtor regardless of perfection. The method of perfection varies according to the type of
collateral covered by the security interest.
In this case, AWH argues that the UCC-1 liens filed on July 6, 2023 in North Carolina,
Texas and Virginia created perfected security interests at the time in all of CYBL's collateral.
The UCC liens broadly describe the collateral subject to security which, at the time, included
much more than just a settlement amount or an account receivable. Pursuant to 8.9-301(2) when
collateral is located in a jurisdiction, the local law of that jurisdiction governs perfection. In this
case, most of the collateral would have been located in Harris County Texas where the drone

of the perfected security interest created by the July 6, 2023 UCC-1.
That being the case, A WHI asserts that it is in 2 position behind government, and ahead
of all others, based on the July 6, 2023 filing of UCC-1's in North Carolina and Texas, and based
on the location of the collateral at the time of filing.
Under A WH's worst case scenario, if the UCC-1 was required to be filed in the location
of the Debtor, Nevada, that UCC-1 lien was filed in Nevada on March 20, 2026. Accordingly,

would place AWH behind the government and behind Legalist, IF Legalist's liens are valid and
enforceable. That would also place AWH behind the WeSheild group, but only IF WeSheild's
liens are valid and enforceable. A WH disputes that they are enforceable.

a Writ of Fieri Facias which was delivered to the City of Richmond Sheriff on April 10, 2026.

Amended and Restated" was entered between CYBL temporarily increasing the credit line to
$12,500,000 which Legalist has identified as a "Protective Advance".
AWH will not dispute the entry of the credit line documents or the fact that a UCC-1 lien was
filed in Nevada by Legalist on April 1, 2024. AWH does assert, however, that AWH's July 6,
2023 filings have priority over Legalist's April 1, 2024 filing. Further, depending on Legalist's
anticipated summary judgment motion, A WH will assert that, despite the loan documents,
Legalist may not have a secured claim at all insofar as the funding was not based on undisputed
purchase orders under their own documents, or alternatively, it should be voidable transfer under
the Uniform Voidable Transfers Act and should be estopped from any claim insofar as Legalists
continued to advance money or credit to CYBL knowing that they were insolvent and in breach
of their own loan documents, or alternatively, that its claim is less than the entire amount
claimed insofar as $3,083,000 had no connection to the government contract or the collateral.
ii. WeShield Group
The WeShield Group contains Assure Global d/b/a WeShield, Roman Investments PR
LLC, MAS USA MGT LLC, and Michael Sinensky. By Order entered February 19, 2026, the
court adopted a Joint Discovery Plan (ECF 149). The Plan required all parties to produce all
documents "supporting or otherwise concerning" their claim. See ECF 149, 6b. The same
subparagraph required production of "all documents on which a party intended to rely. Instead
of doing so, these parties failed to produce the supporting documents using the cloak of
confidentiality provisions in prior unproduced documents. These parties are playing games with
the court and the parties. The court should enter a Show Cause against these parties for their
tailure to comply with the order or just strike their claims.

the alleged Settlement Agreement. The only document produced was the Security Agreement
from September 2025.
As related to the actual claims of these parties, if they exist, WeShield is justifying their
alleged commission based on "sourcing" of the Government Contract. It is disputed whether this
commission was properly disclosed to the government and approved, whether WeShield was
properly registered as a licensed broker and had a valid DOS ITAR number, or whether this pre-
contract commission structure was violative of the Anti-Kickback Act, all of which would
disqualify a claimed commission.
Additionally, while the three remaining WeShield group parties may say they loaned
money or provided value, they have not produced any supporting documentation and, to the
contrary, the OTC quarterly statements filed by CYBL at the relevant time, under oath, and as
required by a publicly traded company, fail to identify any of the three as a debt holders. The
existence of any agreement at all with WeShield was not disclosed in the quarterly filings until
after the filing of the Interpleader.
Accordingly, while the WeSheild group may claim a perfected security interest based
solely on their Security Agreement and UCC-1 filing, A WH will dispute that the filing is based
on a legitimate claim and should be disregarded, making all four unsecured judgment creditors,
or just unsecured general creditors.

the UCC.
V.
Fairwinds Technologies
Fairwinds' claim is based on a Teaming Agreement wherein the parties agreed to assist one
another in the future in securing sales opportunities. Virginia has held that teaming agreements,
depending on the specific language utilized, may not be enforceable if there is no clear
contractual obligation between the parties. See CGI Federal Inc. v. FCI Federal IncạẠại295 Va
506(2018). Whether that rationale would apply here is a factual question and Virginia law may
not be controlling. Regardless, Fairwinds has no judgment, no lien status, no security status, or
perfected security interest. Their status is simply a general unsecured creditor.
vi.
ARG group.
The ARG group is another group claiming a commission or contingency fee based on drone
sales. Their claim is based on a Distributor Partner agreement dated February 28, 2022. This
claim will be disputed by AWH insofar as 1) this partner agreement was entered before the K8
drones had even been created, 2) the company which ultimately assembled the K8's (Catalyst)
had not even been acquired by CYBL, and 3) the Government contract was not in existence.

Thin Air Group obtained a default judgment in United States District Court in Colorado

the UCC.

Fairwinds Technologies
Fairwinds' claim is based on a Teaming Agreement wherein the parties agreed to assist one
another in the future in securing sales opportunities. Virginia has held that teaming agreements,
depending on the specific language utilized, may not be enforceable if there is no clear
contractual obligation between the parties. See CGI Federal Inc. v. FCI Federal IncạẠại295 Va
506(2018). Whether that rationale would apply here is a factual question and Virginia law may
not be controlling. Regardless, Fairwinds has no judgment, no lien status, no security status, or
perfected security interest. Their status is simply a general unsecured creditor.

ARG group.
The ARG group is another group claiming a commission or contingency fee based on drone
sales. Their claim is based on a Distributor Partner agreement dated February 28, 2022. This
claim will be disputed by AWH insofar as 1) this partner agreement was entered before the K8
drones had even been created, 2) the company which ultimately assembled the K8's (Catalyst)
had not even been acquired by CYBL, and 3) the Government contract was not in existence.

8. The collateral included all assets and included accounts receivable and other rights to
payment and performance including those rights related to drones.
CYBL then breached the first contractual objective in the CL22-3882 claim by failing to
make the required payments. This breach resulted in A WH's filing of a garnishments in Richmond
Circuit Court and Fairfax Circuit Court based on the prior consent judgment entered by the
Richmond Circuit Court in CL22-3882. AWH also domesticated its CL22-3882 Virginia judgment
in Harris County Texas and pursued a Receivership. The Harris County Texas location was the
county in which CYBL (Catalyst Machineworks LLC) assembled the drones. An Order
Appointing Receiver was entered May 22, 2025 which appointed Robert Berleth, Esquire, as a
Receiver for Cyberlux. The Order of Receivership is attached as Exhibit 11 to the First Amended
Complaint and incorporated herein by reference. The Order of Appointment granted broad powers
to Berleth including the grant of power over all causes of action. See First Amended Complaint,
Exhibit 11, Order, Paragraph 25(1.).'
The Stock Claim
CYBL also failed to provide "Marketable Trading" stock as required by paragraph 2(e) of
the Settlement Agreement in CL22-3882 (the "Stock Claim") by December 31, 2023. CYBL'a
stock, if it had been properly administered as required by the Settlement Agreement, would have
had an approximate value exceeding well over 6 million dollars. Based on the reservation of rights
in the Settlement Agreement, AWH and SC re-filed a Complaint to enforce its rights under the
Stock Claim. That Complaint was filed in Richmond Circuit Court on September 9, 2024 and
became case number CL 24-3910.
1 Both the Fairfax garnishment and the Harris County Texas Receivership have been resolved. The Receiver
may have pending claims for fees and expenses from CYBL which is pending in Texas but the enforcement action in
Texas by AWH has been dismissed. The Receiver still retains approximately 2.2 million in the Receivership estate.

AWH asserts Cyberlux defaulted on the interpleader and crossclaim and requests no recovery for it. It characterises Maadarani’s judgment as against Datron only, argues the HII contract predated his employment by forty days and denies even general-unsecured Cyberlux status. The requested exclusions and debt-entity distinctions are advocacy requiring the actual pleadings, judgments and employment terms.

Notably, the agreement attached a schedule to identify unmanned aircraft, but failed to list
anything on the schedule.
As related to the actual claim of ARG, any commission claim may be disallowed as an
improper contingency fee, disallowed because not disclosed, and may not have been
accomplished by an approved and licensed broker. ARG may not even have a DOS ITAR
registration. Additionally, based on the timing, it may violative of the Anti-Kickback Act, all of
which would disqualify a claimed commission.
Regardless, ARG currently has no judgment, no lien, and no secured status making it it a
general unsecured creditor behind the judgment creditors.

Berleth
The Receiver's work, as related to A WH, is complete. AWH has been paid and the judgment
issued in CL22-3882 has been satisfied. A WH maintains that the Texas court which appointed the
Receiver should resolve any amounts owed to the Receiver who still has approximately 2.2 million
dollars in the Receivership.
vili. Cyberlux
Cyberlux is in default both with respect to the Interpleader and A WH's Cross Claim. They
should be entitled to nothing and Summary Judgment should be issued against it and in favor of
AWH based on its failure to answer the Interpleader and the Cross-claim.

Maadarani is another insider claiming commissions. He obtained a default judgment against
Datron, a subsidiary of CYBL, but not CYBL. His claim is also based on commissions booked.

Case Number: 3:25cv483
ATLANTIC WAVE HOLDINGS, LLC, et al.,
Interpleader Defendants/Claimants.
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
Comes now your Interpleader Defendants, Atlantic Wave Holdings, LLC and Secure
Community, LLC, (jointly as "A WH') and for their Motion for Summary Judgment against
Cyberlux Corporation (CYBL") pursuant to Rule 56, and argue as follows:
STATEMENT OF FACTS
Cyberlux Corporation
CYBL is an OTC publicly traded defense supply contractor formed in Nevada with its
headquarters in North Carolina. HII, also a defense supply contractor operating out of Virginia,
was already operating under a government "Prime Contract" with its customer, the Federal
Systems Integration and Management Center (FEDSIM). HII, as part of its Prime Contract,
sought subcontracts for the production of 2000 drones capable of delivering explosive devices in
the Ukranian/Russian conflict. CYBL was awarded a $78,857,414.20 million dollar subcontract
to supply FEDSIM (the Government), coordinated through HII, on August 29, 2023. CYBL was
paid one-half of the award in advance. The contract was for a fixed term of August 29, 2023
through July 24, 2024. See Exhibit 1.
CYBL, as of February 2022, did not own or produce drones. CYBL, on March 28, 2022,
purchased a small two-person drone company (Catalyst Machineworks LLC) in Texas which
assembled drones in Texas for cinematography purposes. The Catalyst principals then re-tasked
and re-designed their existing model into, theoretically, battle ready drones identified as the K8.

This party is not even an unsecured creditor.
CONCLUSION
AWH enjoys a perfected secured interest in the Interpleader funds as of July 6, 2023
which never changed. The fact that the original collateral was transmuted into actual units which
were sold does not defeat their secured perfected interest. To the extent that court rules
otherwise, AWH' perfection took place on March 20, 2026. AWHI and SC, as one entity should
be paid the amount claimed from the Interpleader Funds.

The source has material drafting/citation imperfections: a settlement-security passage cites Exhibit 1 rather than the otherwise named Exhibit 3; one passage uses July 7 for the UCC date while the repeated position is July 6; it says assembly under the HII subcontract existed July 6 before its stated August 29 award; and the Fairfax sentence is unfinished. These defects remain visible and do not establish intentional misrepresentation.

registration requirements, and Schmidt and CYBL refused to make it marketable. Making the
Stock marketable would allow AWH to sell its existing CYBL stock, satisfying the balance of its
claim. This term was palatable to AWH at the time because the drone subcontract was coming
into fruition and CYBL, agreed to pledge the drone payments. Per the fifth recital in the Settlement
Agreement, "Cyberlux anticipates a significant cash inflow connected with the sale of certain
drone products". See Exhibit 3, page two. Per the terms of the Settlement Agreement, AWH
reserved the right to assert breach for CYBL's failure to perform. See Exhibit 3, para 2(e).
The Settlement Agreement was referenced in the Amended Final Judgment Order (the
"Order") entered June 28, 2023. See Exhibit 4. The Order also granted a consent judgment to
AWH for the monetary claim. The Order confirmed that the Settlement Agreement resolved
claims in the pending CL22-3882 complaint and other claims contained within the Settlement
Agreement. The parties further agreed, and the court ordered, that A WH would be granted a
security interest in all property which could be memorialized by UCC-1 filings, at AWH's
discretion.
Specifically, in the Settlement Agreement, at paragraph 7, CYBL agreed and granted
AWH and SC a security interest in CYBL's assets, including, but not limited to, the accounts
receivable for drone sales. See Exhibit 1, para 7. CYBL further agreed to, in good faith, bring
their stock into OTC compliance "in order to permit the trading of such shares on the OTC
Market". See Exhibit 3, para. 8. To induce A WH to settle, the Settlement Agreement provided
for accelerated payments based on anticipated drone sales. Exhibit 3 (para 4(b)). After entry of
the Order, A WH filed the identical UCC-1 lien in North Carolina, Texas and Virginia on July 6,
2023. See Exhbits 5,6,7. On March 20, 2026, A WH filed the same lien in Nevada. See Exhibit

It distinguishes a June 15, 2023 settlement of the earlier IP dispute, including a $1,572,500 liquidated amount, from retained stock-marketability performance rights. It describes the June 28 consent judgment, a security grant and contemplated drone receipts. These are counsel’s account of separate cited agreements/orders, not two independent creditors supporting the same facts.

A dispute arose between HII, FEDSIM and CYBL over the utility of the drones in the battlefield
theatre. A Stop Work order was issued December 22, 2023, just four months into the
subcontract.
FEDSIM terminated the HII subcontract for the drones on May 13, 2024. HII terminated
the CYBL subcontract on May 17, 2024 under the "Termination for Convenience" remedy
provided in the subcontractor agreement. See Exhibit 1, para 32.1. A "Termination Settlement"
agreement was entered February 26, 2025 between HII and CYBL identified as the Modification
No. 4 to Subcontract NO. P000043846. See Exhibit 2. The agreement compromised the disputed
claim to a lump sum. The balance of the funds in the Interpleader are those funds acquired by
HII from the Government, but interplead into the court prior to delivery to CYBL.

Atlantic Wave and Secure Community.
A WH is a Virginia limited liability company. AWH is the sole owner of your Co-
Interpleader Defendant, Secure Community, LLC ("SC"). Accordingly, while each a party,
A WH and SC have the same claims and are not independent of one another seeking a double
recovery. On August 24, 2022, AWH and SC initiated a civil claim against CYBL and Mark
Schmidt, individually, in the Richmond Circuit Court as CL22-3882 based CYBL's breach of a
prior unrelated agreement wherein CYBL failed to pay AWH for intellectual property.
Following extended litigation, the parties entered into a settlement agreement ("the
Settlement Agreement) (Exhibit 3) dated June 15, 2023, in which CYBL and Schmidt agreed to
two objectives. The first objective was to reach a liquidated monetary figure of $1,572,500 payable
over time to resolve, in part, the claim. The second objective between the parties was forbearance
allowing CYBL to remain in business to pay the balance of monies owed. The CYBL stock, at
the time of entry of the Settlement Agreement, was not marketable or tradeable based on OTC

8. The collateral included all assets and included accounts receivable and other rights to
payment and performance including those rights related to drones.
CYBL then breached the first contractual objective in the CL22-3882 claim by failing to
make the required payments. This breach resulted in A WH's filing of a garnishments in Richmond
Circuit Court and Fairfax Circuit Court based on the prior consent judgment entered by the
Richmond Circuit Court in CL22-3882. AWH also domesticated its CL22-3882 Virginia judgment
in Harris County Texas and pursued a Receivership. The Harris County Texas location was the
county in which CYBL (Catalyst Machineworks LLC) assembled the drones. An Order

Complaint and incorporated herein by reference. The Order of Appointment granted broad powers
to Berleth including the grant of power over all causes of action. See First Amended Complaint,

The Stock Claim
CYBL also failed to provide "Marketable Trading" stock as required by paragraph 2(e) of
the Settlement Agreement in CL22-3882 (the "Stock Claim") by December 31, 2023. CYBL'a
stock, if it had been properly administered as required by the Settlement Agreement, would have
had an approximate value exceeding well over 6 million dollars. Based on the reservation of rights
in the Settlement Agreement, AWH and SC re-filed a Complaint to enforce its rights under the
Stock Claim. That Complaint was filed in Richmond Circuit Court on September 9, 2024 and
became case number CL 24-3910.

may have pending claims for fees and expenses from CYBL which is pending in Texas but the enforcement action in
Texas by AWH has been dismissed. The Receiver still retains approximately 2.2 million in the Receivership estate.

Berleth, as part of his duties as Receiver, evaluated the Stock Claim advanced by AWH
and SC in CL24-3910 and compromised the figure with AWH and SC. To liquidate and resolve
the Stock Claim, Berleth and AWH entered an agreement (the "Receiver Agreement")
accompanied by a Consent Final Order. The Consent Final Order was entered by the Richmond
Circuit Court on December 18, 2025, providing for judgment against CYBL and Schmidt in the
principal amount of $6,000,000, attorney's fees of $25,250.50, costs of $352.92, and 6% interest
from the date of judgment (the "Consent Final Order"). See Exhibit 9. The Consent Order also
ratified the original Settlement Agreement from CL22-3882 as valid and further ruled that the
Order of Receivership had been properly recorded in the City of Richmond, without objection.
The Consent Order additionally ruled that the Receiver had authority to control and/or manage
litigation incident to his role. See Exhibit 9, page 2.2
CYBL appealed the judgment on February 6, 2026, but has not posted the required
6,000,000 supersedeas bond to suspend execution of the judgment. 3 Accordingly, the claim
advanced by A WH and SC in this Motion are as follows:

Total: $6,166,685.50
2 The Consent Final Order was re-affirmed on February 5, 2026 after the court denied CYBL's Motion to Reconsider.
The effective date was amended to February 5, 2026, but the judgment figures remained the same as the

Summary judgment is appropriate when the moving party establishes that "there is no

AWH quotes Article 9 definitions and provisions concerning attachment, perfection, debtor/collateral location and proceeds. Its own quoted section 301(2) expressly refers to a possessory security interest. The subsequent argument treats collateral location as controlling its filed UCC interests without addressing that word. This is a visible difference between the quoted text and the argument, not an independently adjudicated rule application.

Interpleader Plaintiff,

Case Number: 3:25cv483
ATLANTIC WAVE HOLDINGS, LLC, et al.,
Interpleader Defendants/Claimants.
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
Comes now your Interpleader Defendants, Atlantic Wave Holdings, LLC and Secure
Community, LLC, (jointly as "A WH') and for their Motion for Summary Judgment against
Cyberlux Corporation (CYBL") pursuant to Rule 56, and argue as follows:
STATEMENT OF FACTS
Cyberlux Corporation
CYBL is an OTC publicly traded defense supply contractor formed in Nevada with its
headquarters in North Carolina. HII, also a defense supply contractor operating out of Virginia,
was already operating under a government "Prime Contract" with its customer, the Federal
Systems Integration and Management Center (FEDSIM). HII, as part of its Prime Contract,
sought subcontracts for the production of 2000 drones capable of delivering explosive devices in
the Ukranian/Russian conflict. CYBL was awarded a $78,857,414.20 million dollar subcontract
to supply FEDSIM (the Government), coordinated through HII, on August 29, 2023. CYBL was
paid one-half of the award in advance. The contract was for a fixed term of August 29, 2023
through July 24, 2024. See Exhibit 1.
CYBL, as of February 2022, did not own or produce drones. CYBL, on March 28, 2022,
purchased a small two-person drone company (Catalyst Machineworks LLC) in Texas which
assembled drones in Texas for cinematography purposes. The Catalyst principals then re-tasked
and re-designed their existing model into, theoretically, battle ready drones identified as the K8.

Restated" agreement made effective July 13, 2024. On or around April 24, 2025, a "Second
Amended and Restated" was entered between CYBL temporarily increasing the credit line to
$12,500,000 which Legalist has identified as a "Protective Advance".
AWH will not dispute the entry of the credit line documents or the fact that a UCC-1 lien was
filed in Nevada by Legalist on April 1, 2024. AWH does assert, however, that AWH's July 6,
2023 filings have priority over Legalist's April 1, 2024 filing. Further, depending on Legalist's
anticipated summary judgment motion, A WH will assert that, despite the loan documents,
Legalist may not have a secured claim at all insofar as the funding was not based on undisputed
purchase orders under their own documents, or alternatively, it should be voidable transfer under
the Uniform Voidable Transfers Act and should be estopped from any claim insofar as Legalists
continued to advance money or credit to CYBL knowing that they were insolvent and in breach
of their own loan documents, or alternatively, that its claim is less than the entire amount
claimed insofar as $3,083,000 had no connection to the government contract or the collateral.
ii. WeShield Group
The WeShield Group contains Assure Global d/b/a WeShield, Roman Investments PR
LLC, MAS USA MGT LLC, and Michael Sinensky. By Order entered February 19, 2026, the
court adopted a Joint Discovery Plan (ECF 149). The Plan required all parties to produce all
documents "supporting or otherwise concerning" their claim. See ECF 149, 6b. The same
subparagraph required production of "all documents on which a party intended to rely. Instead
of doing so, these parties failed to produce the supporting documents using the cloak of
confidentiality provisions in prior unproduced documents. These parties are playing games with
the court and the parties. The court should enter a Show Cause against these parties for their
tailure to comply with the order or just strike their claims.

support the claim including the Stock Agreements, the Assignments, the Convertible Notes, or
the alleged Settlement Agreement. The only document produced was the Security Agreement
from September 2025.
As related to the actual claims of these parties, if they exist, WeShield is justifying their
alleged commission based on "sourcing" of the Government Contract. It is disputed whether this
commission was properly disclosed to the government and approved, whether WeShield was
properly registered as a licensed broker and had a valid DOS ITAR number, or whether this pre-
contract commission structure was violative of the Anti-Kickback Act, all of which would
disqualify a claimed commission.
Additionally, while the three remaining WeShield group parties may say they loaned
money or provided value, they have not produced any supporting documentation and, to the
contrary, the OTC quarterly statements filed by CYBL at the relevant time, under oath, and as
required by a publicly traded company, fail to identify any of the three as a debt holders. The
existence of any agreement at all with WeShield was not disclosed in the quarterly filings until
after the filing of the Interpleader.
Accordingly, while the WeSheild group may claim a perfected security interest based
solely on their Security Agreement and UCC-1 filing, A WH will dispute that the filing is based
on a legitimate claim and should be disregarded, making all four unsecured judgment creditors,
or just unsecured general creditors.
ANPC.
ANPC has not filed a UCC lien because it has no underlying security agreement. ANPC
obtained a default judgment on July 21, 2025 in North Carolina which it domesticated in the City

the UCC.

Fairwinds Technologies
Fairwinds' claim is based on a Teaming Agreement wherein the parties agreed to assist one
another in the future in securing sales opportunities. Virginia has held that teaming agreements,
depending on the specific language utilized, may not be enforceable if there is no clear
contractual obligation between the parties. See CGI Federal Inc. v. FCI Federal IncạẠại295 Va
506(2018). Whether that rationale would apply here is a factual question and Virginia law may
not be controlling. Regardless, Fairwinds has no judgment, no lien status, no security status, or
perfected security interest. Their status is simply a general unsecured creditor.
vi.
ARG group.
The ARG group is another group claiming a commission or contingency fee based on drone
sales. Their claim is based on a Distributor Partner agreement dated February 28, 2022. This
claim will be disputed by AWH insofar as 1) this partner agreement was entered before the K8
drones had even been created, 2) the company which ultimately assembled the K8's (Catalyst)
had not even been acquired by CYBL, and 3) the Government contract was not in existence.

A dispute arose between HII, FEDSIM and CYBL over the utility of the drones in the battlefield
theatre. A Stop Work order was issued December 22, 2023, just four months into the
subcontract.
FEDSIM terminated the HII subcontract for the drones on May 13, 2024. HII terminated
the CYBL subcontract on May 17, 2024 under the "Termination for Convenience" remedy
provided in the subcontractor agreement. See Exhibit 1, para 32.1. A "Termination Settlement"
agreement was entered February 26, 2025 between HII and CYBL identified as the Modification
No. 4 to Subcontract NO. P000043846. See Exhibit 2. The agreement compromised the disputed
claim to a lump sum. The balance of the funds in the Interpleader are those funds acquired by

Schmidt, individually, in the Richmond Circuit Court as CL22-3882 based CYBL's breach of a
prior unrelated agreement wherein CYBL failed to pay AWH for intellectual property.
Following extended litigation, the parties entered into a settlement agreement ("the
Settlement Agreement) (Exhibit 3) dated June 15, 2023, in which CYBL and Schmidt agreed to
two objectives. The first objective was to reach a liquidated monetary figure of $1,572,500 payable
over time to resolve, in part, the claim. The second objective between the parties was forbearance
allowing CYBL to remain in business to pay the balance of monies owed. The CYBL stock, at
the time of entry of the Settlement Agreement, was not marketable or tradeable based on OTC

8. The collateral included all assets and included accounts receivable and other rights to
payment and performance including those rights related to drones.
CYBL then breached the first contractual objective in the CL22-3882 claim by failing to
make the required payments. This breach resulted in A WH's filing of a garnishments in Richmond
Circuit Court and Fairfax Circuit Court based on the prior consent judgment entered by the
Richmond Circuit Court in CL22-3882. AWH also domesticated its CL22-3882 Virginia judgment
in Harris County Texas and pursued a Receivership. The Harris County Texas location was the
county in which CYBL (Catalyst Machineworks LLC) assembled the drones. An Order
Appointing Receiver was entered May 22, 2025 which appointed Robert Berleth, Esquire, as a
Receiver for Cyberlux. The Order of Receivership is attached as Exhibit 11 to the First Amended
Complaint and incorporated herein by reference. The Order of Appointment granted broad powers
to Berleth including the grant of power over all causes of action. See First Amended Complaint,
Exhibit 11, Order, Paragraph 25(1.).'
The Stock Claim
CYBL also failed to provide "Marketable Trading" stock as required by paragraph 2(e) of
the Settlement Agreement in CL22-3882 (the "Stock Claim") by December 31, 2023. CYBL'a
stock, if it had been properly administered as required by the Settlement Agreement, would have
had an approximate value exceeding well over 6 million dollars. Based on the reservation of rights
in the Settlement Agreement, AWH and SC re-filed a Complaint to enforce its rights under the
Stock Claim. That Complaint was filed in Richmond Circuit Court on September 9, 2024 and
became case number CL 24-3910.
1 Both the Fairfax garnishment and the Harris County Texas Receivership have been resolved. The Receiver
may have pending claims for fees and expenses from CYBL which is pending in Texas but the enforcement action in
Texas by AWH has been dismissed. The Receiver still retains approximately 2.2 million in the Receivership estate.

not liquidated until the December 18, 2025 and February 5, 2026 orders does not defeat the grant
of the perfected security interest created by the July 6, 2023 UCC-1.
That being the case, A WHI asserts that it is in 2 position behind government, and ahead
of all others, based on the July 6, 2023 filing of UCC-1's in North Carolina and Texas, and based
on the location of the collateral at the time of filing.
Under A WH's worst case scenario, if the UCC-1 was required to be filed in the location
of the Debtor, Nevada, that UCC-1 lien was filed in Nevada on March 20, 2026. Accordingly,
while the same argument advanced by A WH would apply to the date of attachment (June 15,
2023), the secured perfected interest would have become perfected on March 20, 2026. That
would place AWH behind the government and behind Legalist, IF Legalist's liens are valid and
enforceable. That would also place AWH behind the WeSheild group, but only IF WeSheild's
liens are valid and enforceable. A WH disputes that they are enforceable.
AWH is also now a lien creditor under the judgment entered in CL24-3910, as it has filed
a Writ of Fieri Facias which was delivered to the City of Richmond Sheriff on April 10, 2026.

Kemaining Parties
Only three creditors/claimants have UCC-1 filings. Legalist, the WeShield group, and
AWH. The government's lien is statutory and is not challenged as being first in priority. All
other claims are judgment claims (ANPC and TAG), or simply unsecured claims.

Per discovery, Legalist entered a revolving line of credit with CYBL on March 27, 2024

"all assets". HII terminated the CYBL contract on May 17, 2024. After termination, the line of
credit originally granted to CYBL by Legalist was increased to $7,000,000 by an "Amended and

Interpleader Defendants/Claimants.
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
Comes now your Interpleader Defendants, Atlantic Wave Holdings, LLC and Secure
Community, LLC, (jointly as "A WH') and for their Motion for Summary Judgment against
Cyberlux Corporation (CYBL") pursuant to Rule 56, and argue as follows:
STATEMENT OF FACTS
Cyberlux Corporation
CYBL is an OTC publicly traded defense supply contractor formed in Nevada with its
headquarters in North Carolina. HII, also a defense supply contractor operating out of Virginia,
was already operating under a government "Prime Contract" with its customer, the Federal
Systems Integration and Management Center (FEDSIM). HII, as part of its Prime Contract,
sought subcontracts for the production of 2000 drones capable of delivering explosive devices in
the Ukranian/Russian conflict. CYBL was awarded a $78,857,414.20 million dollar subcontract
to supply FEDSIM (the Government), coordinated through HII, on August 29, 2023. CYBL was
paid one-half of the award in advance. The contract was for a fixed term of August 29, 2023
through July 24, 2024. See Exhibit 1.
CYBL, as of February 2022, did not own or produce drones. CYBL, on March 28, 2022,
purchased a small two-person drone company (Catalyst Machineworks LLC) in Texas which
assembled drones in Texas for cinematography purposes. The Catalyst principals then re-tasked
and re-designed their existing model into, theoretically, battle ready drones identified as the K8.

Reviewed relationships
The canvas follows the database: source to DISTIL record, DISTIL record to knowledge object, then reviewed relationship. Position alone means nothing.
AWH challenges ARG’s February 28, 2022 distributor agreement because it predates the alleged K8 development, Catalyst acquisition and Government contract, and because a product schedule allegedly lists no aircraft. It raises contingent-fee/disclosure/licensing/ITAR/anti-kickback objections and asserts unsecured status. These are disputed characterisations, not proof that no compensated services occurred or that a fee was unlawful.referencesARG alleges the 28 February 2022 agreement provides a 20% discount off GSA pricing and an 80/20 allocation under paragraph 4A. It further attributes to Schmidt written and Signal acknowledgements of 20% regardless of prime and 30% if Cyberlux sells directly without a prime. The actual agreement and messages are not embedded.
AWH challenges scope and timing while ARG asserts a broad compensation arrangement. Neither account substitutes for the agreement and exact messages.
AWH reports Legalist’s initial $3 million March 27, 2024 facility, April 1 Nevada UCC filing, July 13 amended $7 million limit and an approximately April 24, 2025 temporary $12.5 million protective-advance ceiling. It does not dispute entry of the loan documents or the stated Nevada filing, but challenges priority, eligible-order predicates, alleged voidability/estoppel and roughly $3.083 million said to lack contract/collateral connection. Limits and legal objections are not actual balances or rulings.referencesLegalist SPV III, LP is lender; Cyberlux and Datron World Communications are each and together Borrower. The facility is a revolving maximum $7 million for a stated one-year period, with availability capped at 50% of eligible, undisputed government-related purchase orders less outstanding amounts. The limit and eligibility formula do not show actual draws, a $7 million funded balance or maturity under any later amendment.
The amended agreement confirms a $7 million ceiling and eligible-order conditions. It does not supply the initial $3 million or later $12.5 million instrument or actual draws.
AWH reports Legalist’s initial $3 million March 27, 2024 facility, April 1 Nevada UCC filing, July 13 amended $7 million limit and an approximately April 24, 2025 temporary $12.5 million protective-advance ceiling. It does not dispute entry of the loan documents or the stated Nevada filing, but challenges priority, eligible-order predicates, alleged voidability/estoppel and roughly $3.083 million said to lack contract/collateral connection. Limits and legal objections are not actual balances or rulings.referencesThe agreement grants a continuing all-assets lien and generally requires requested prior-lien subordination before funding, but expressly exempts the asserted Atlantic Wave, Secure Community and Strikepoint liens from obtaining such subordination. It describes those liens as disputed and identifies the two California proceedings. The warranties also except Atlantic Wave liens/litigation from specified clean-title, books/liabilities and no-pending-action statements. These exceptions are not releases, proof that the liens are invalid or an adjudication of priority.
The agreement expressly excepts AWH-related disputed liens from requested subordination. That text matters to the competing-priority enquiry without adjudicating it.
AWH says it wholly owns Secure and their claims seek no double recovery. It distinguishes a June 15, 2023 settlement of the earlier IP dispute, including a $1,572,500 liquidated amount, from retained stock-marketability performance rights. It describes the June 28 consent judgment, a security grant and contemplated drone receipts. These are counsel’s account of separate cited agreements/orders, not two independent creditors supporting the same facts.referencesSection 7 grants Plaintiffs a security and lien interest in Defendants’ assets, including IP, subsidiaries, contract rights, receivables and drone sales, with discretionary UCC/lien memorialisation. This text alone does not establish perfection, priority, ownership of Government property or an actual UCC filing.
The reviewed signed settlement supplies the actual security grant; its existence does not establish the later asserted perfection or priority.
AWH states its CL22-3882 judgment has been paid and satisfied and its Texas enforcement action dismissed; it separates unresolved receiver fees from its completed enforcement and says roughly $2.2 million remains in the receivership. It argues Texas should decide receiver compensation. The earlier satisfied judgment and the separate $6 million stock judgment must not be added as both presently unpaid on this source’s account.referencesThe signatories agree to endorse a joint-and-several consent judgment. The stated IP balance is $1,200,000 less $277,500 paid, or $922,500; consulting balance is $650,000; total settlement consideration is $1,572,500 plus specified costs. The text’s appeal/bankruptcy non-dischargeability language is expressly limited to what law permits, not a court determination of enforceability.
The later movant acknowledges original-judgment satisfaction. This is distinct from the separate stock claim and does not retrospectively alter the original contract.
AWH challenges ARG’s February 28, 2022 distributor agreement because it predates the alleged K8 development, Catalyst acquisition and Government contract, and because a product schedule allegedly lists no aircraft. It raises contingent-fee/disclosure/licensing/ITAR/anti-kickback objections and asserts unsecured status. These are disputed characterisations, not proof that no compensated services occurred or that a fee was unlawful.referencesARG claims introductions, test sites, technical specifications, cost data and firing-mechanism assistance, including a team with Army members. It says SOFIC Tampa contacts led to Fairwinds and Ferd Irizarry, and that ARG brought Cameron Holt in to advance FMS/FMF. These are ARG’s causal and performance allegations.
ARG asserts introductions and technical contributions; AWH disputes entitlement. Their competing assertions remain attributed and unresolved.
The prayer states $1,126,858.15 outstanding plus interest, enforcement fees and costs, and asks for foreclosure/sale, a deficiency, restraints, receiver control and documents within ten days of a future order. This is the December 2023 demand, not a present payoff, a completed ten-day deadline or an entered California order.referencesAWH states its CL22-3882 judgment has been paid and satisfied and its Texas enforcement action dismissed; it separates unresolved receiver fees from its completed enforcement and says roughly $2.2 million remains in the receivership. It argues Texas should decide receiver compensation. The earlier satisfied judgment and the separate $6 million stock judgment must not be added as both presently unpaid on this source’s account.
The later memorandum acknowledges original CL22-3882 satisfaction. This December 2023 demand is not automatically a current unpaid claim.
AWH says ANPC has no security agreement/UCC filing, obtained a July 21, 2025 NC default judgment, domesticated it August 21 in Richmond, and agreed HII garnishment discharge after deposit. The final sentence beginning an additional Fairfax-jurisdiction point is incomplete on the printed page, not merely OCR loss.

It distinguishes the July 12, 2022 earnings-percentage letter and alleged 2025 settlement from stock-purchase/convertible-note claims, then describes a combined September 24, 2025 security agreement and October 23 Nevada filing.

AWH states its CL22-3882 judgment has been paid and satisfied and its Texas enforcement action dismissed; it separates unresolved receiver fees from its completed enforcement and says roughly $2.2 million remains in the receivership. It argues Texas should decide receiver compensation. The earlier satisfied judgment and the separate $6 million stock judgment must not be added as both presently unpaid on this source’s account.supportsDoes ECF 180 itself establish AWH’s final priority and a single reconciled payoff?

AWH says ANPC has no security agreement/UCC filing, obtained a July 21, 2025 NC default judgment, domesticated it August 21 in Richmond, and agreed HII garnishment discharge after deposit. The final sentence beginning an additional Fairfax-jurisdiction point is incomplete on the printed page, not merely OCR loss.

AWH quotes Article 9 definitions and provisions concerning attachment, perfection, debtor/collateral location and proceeds. Its own quoted section 301(2) expressly refers to a possessory security interest. The subsequent argument treats collateral location as controlling its filed UCC interests without addressing that word. This is a visible difference between the quoted text and the argument, not an independently adjudicated rule application.supportsThe possessory qualifier in the quoted location provision is absent from the later paraphrase used to support filing-based priority. The record must establish the relevant collateral/possession facts and governing basis before the requested priority can be accepted. This identifies a source-internal reasoning gap, not a legal ruling.

AWH contends attachment began June 15, 2023 and perfection July 6, 2023, surviving transformation of equipment/components/drones into identifiable proceeds. It argues the later liquidation of the stock-performance claim does not alter the earlier grant and ranks itself behind Government but ahead of all others. Under its alternative Nevada-filing case, it accepts a March 20, 2026 perfection date and conditional ranking behind Legalist and WeShield if their interests are valid.

AWH challenges ARG’s February 28, 2022 distributor agreement because it predates the alleged K8 development, Catalyst acquisition and Government contract, and because a product schedule allegedly lists no aircraft.

AWH disputes whether WeShield’s sourcing commission was disclosed/approved, whether licensing/ITAR and anti-kickback requirements were met, and whether issuer reports support the other group debts. It seeks treatment as unsecured or judgment creditors. The memorandum supplies neither the disputed contracts nor an adjudication of regulatory breach or fabricated debt.supportsAWH’s alternative-ranking argument is conditional on rival liens being valid, while its rival objections remain undecided.

AWH says it wholly owns Secure and their claims seek no double recovery. It distinguishes a June 15, 2023 settlement of the earlier IP dispute, including a $1,572,500 liquidated amount, from retained stock-marketability performance rights. It describes the June 28 consent judgment, a security grant and contemplated drone receipts. These are counsel’s account of separate cited agreements/orders, not two independent creditors supporting the same facts.supportsThe source distinguishes a satisfied original judgment from a later stock judgment and treats AWH/Secure as one economic claim.

AWH groups Assure Global d/b/a WeShield, Roman Investments PR LLC, MAS USA MGT LLC and Michael Sinensky. It alleges discovery non-production despite ECF 149 and requests a show-cause or striking claims. It distinguishes the July 12, 2022 earnings-percentage letter and alleged 2025 settlement from stock-purchase/convertible-note claims, then describes a combined September 24, 2025 security agreement and October 23 Nevada filing.
