22. Based on information available to Montague, public court filings, and Cyberlux's public financial disclosures, Cyberlux received approximately $38.7 million in payments under this contract during 2023. 23. Furthermore, based upon documents filed by the former receiver of Cyberlux, in Atlantic Wave Holdings, LLC, et al. v. Cyberlux Corporation, et al., Cause No. 2024-48085, 129th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas (the "Atlantic Wave case"), Montague has learned that HII is expected to make an additional payment of $25,795,303.38 to Cyberlux in the near term. 24. These payments-both the $38.7 million payment and the forthcoming $25.7 payment-are subject to Montague's entitlement to commissions at the contractual rate of 5% under the 2023 Consulting Agreement. Material Breaches of the 2023 Consulting Agreement by Cyberlux 25. Cyberlux has materially breached multiple provisions of the 2023 Consulting Agreement, depriving Montague of millions of dollars in rightfully earned compensation while simultaneously failing to provide the transparency promised under the Agreement. These breaches are not mere technical violations but represent a fundamental failure to honor the contractual relationship that has been instrumental to Cyberlux' s success. 26. Despite receiving approximately $38.7 million in payments during 2023 under the Ukraine drone contract-a Commissionable Contract expressly identified in Schedule 2 of the Agreement and subject to the 5% commission rate-Cyberlux has failed to pay Montague any portion of the $1,935,000 in commissions due on these receipts. This complete failure to pay commissions constitutes not only a material breach of Section 3 .3 of the Agreement but also triggers the willful misconduct provisions of Section 3.3(c), as the underpayment exceeds 10% of the amount payable (indeed, it represents a 100% underpayment). Under the Agreement's 7

In furtherance of the recognition of the aggregate amount overdue and owning under the Existing Agreement, 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 in respect of the obligations evidenced by such promissory note. 3 .2 As base compensation for the Services and the rights granted to Cyberlux in this Agreement, Cyberlux shall pay Consultant a fixed fee of $250,000.00 (the "Fees") per annum, payable in equal monthly installments on the first business day of each month, commencing January 3, 2023.

Commissionable Contracts, including designated lines of business, work orders, and similar in effect on the date hereof are listed on Schedule 2 hereto. From time to time, Consultant shall provide Cyberlux with names of persons ( entities or natural persons) with whom Consultant reasonably believes Cyberlux could enter into a commercially beneficial contract and/or work orders sourced by or through Consultant. Unless otherwise directed by Cyberlux, Consultant shall pursue a commercial relationship with such persons for the benefit of Cyberlux.

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. If at any time, either Party determines that Cyberlux has overpaid any Commission, Consultant shall promptly repay the amount of such overpayment to Cyberlux, or, at the option of Cyberlux, Cyberlux may offset the amount of such overpayment against the payment of future Commissions. If the Parties are in disagreement as to the existence of an underpayment or overpayment of Commission, they shall use good faith efforts to settle their disagreement regarding such amount. If despite their efforts, they are unable to reach agreement regarding the amount of any overpayment or underpayment, they shall mutually engage an independent accountant to review the applicable records of Cyberlux. The determination of such accountant as to such overpayment or underpayment shall be final and binding on the Parties. If the amount of a disputed underpayment is greater than 50% of the amount of the underpayment claimed by Consultant, Cyberlux shall bear the cost of the independent accountant. Otherwise the Parties shall equally bear the cost of the accountant in determining the amount of underpayment. If the amount of a disputed overpayment is less than 50% of the amount of the overpayment claimed by Cyberlux, Cyberlux shall bear the cost of the independent accountant. Otherwise, the Parties shall equally bear the cost of the accountant in determining the amount of overpayment. 3 .4 Cyberlux agrees to reimburse Consultant for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Consultant in compliance with Cyberlux's existing expense policy (as applicable to executive officers of Cyberlux). Notwithstanding any contrary provision of such policy Consultant understands and agrees that it shall be required to (a) provide itemized expense reimbursement requests together with copies of all receipts, and (b) obtain the written consent of Cyblerlux prior to incurring any individual expense in excess of $100.00. Consultant understands and agrees that failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 3 .4 in respect of any expense may result in non-reimbursement of such expense. Cyberlux will reimburse Consultant for all expenses incurred in compliance with this Section 3 .4 within 30 days of submission of the applicable reimbursement request. 3.5 Consultant shall have the right to charge interest on any unpaid Fees, Commission and expenses at the rate of one percent (1.0%) per month, commencing 15 days after the due date thereof, subject to the additional amount in respect of underpaid Commission set forth in Section 3 .3 above.

of Defense-Cyberlux has refused to pay any portion of the commissions contractually owed to Montague. 3. While Cyberlux has already received approximately $38.7 million under this contract and stands to receive an additional $25.7 million payment imminently, it has deliberately withheld the 5% commission required expressly under the parties' January 2023 Consulting Agreement. 4. Compounding this breach, Cyberlux has engaged in a calculated pattern of asset dissipation, bad faith litigation tactics, and strategic encumbrance of receivables designed to place contract proceeds beyond the reach of Montague and other creditors. Through this action, Montague seeks to recover the more than $3 .5 million in unpaid commissions and fees rightfully earned through its transformative business development efforts on Cyberlux's behalf. THE PARTIES 5. Montague is a North Carolina limited liability company with its principal place of business at 101 Glen Lennox Dr., Suite 300, Chapel Hill, NC 27517. 6. Defendant Cyberlux is a Nevada Corporation with its headquarters and principal place of business located at 800 Park Offices Drive, Suite 3209, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27709. JURISDICTION 7. This Court has personal jurisdiction over Defendants pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-75.4 because Cyberlux maintains its corporate headquarters and principal place of business in North Carolina, regularly transacts business in this State, and the contract at issue contains an express consent to jurisdiction in North Carolina. Moreover, Montague is a North Carolina limited liability company. 2

INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCEMENT. 8.1 Cyberlux shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Consultant and its affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns ( collectively, "Consultant Indemnitees") from and against all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, actions, judgments, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind (including reasonable attorneys' fees, collectively "Costs" ) to the greatest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada arising out of or resulting from: (a) bodily injury, death of any person, damage to real or tangible personal property, or any other cost imposed on any Consultant Indemnitee resulting directly or indirectly in whole or in part from Cyberlux's actual or alleged acts or omissions; or (b) breach of any representation, warranty, or obligation under this Agreement or the Existing Agreement; or (c) any action brought against, or inquiry made of, Cyberlux (whether in connection with the Existing Agreement, this Agreement or otherwise) or Consultant (in connection with the Existing Agreement, this Agreement or otherwise relating to any Consultant Indemnitee's services to or relationship with Cyberlux), whether or not any Consultant Indemnitee, is named ( as a co-defendant or otherwise), or is required to provide testimony.

In connection with its indemnification obligations under Section 8.3, Cyberlux will advance all expenses to the greatest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada. In furtherance thereof, 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.

22. Based on information available to Montague, public court filings, and Cyberlux's public financial disclosures, Cyberlux received approximately $38.7 million in payments under this contract during 2023. 23. Furthermore, based upon documents filed by the former receiver of Cyberlux, in Atlantic Wave Holdings, LLC, et al. v. Cyberlux Corporation, et al., Cause No. 2024-48085, 129th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas (the "Atlantic Wave case"), Montague has learned that HII is expected to make an additional payment of $25,795,303.38 to Cyberlux in the near term. 24. These payments-both the $38.7 million payment and the forthcoming $25.7 payment-are subject to Montague's entitlement to commissions at the contractual rate of 5% under the 2023 Consulting Agreement. Material Breaches of the 2023 Consulting Agreement by Cyberlux 25. Cyberlux has materially breached multiple provisions of the 2023 Consulting Agreement, depriving Montague of millions of dollars in rightfully earned compensation while simultaneously failing to provide the transparency promised under the Agreement. These breaches are not mere technical violations but represent a fundamental failure to honor the contractual relationship that has been instrumental to Cyberlux' s success. 26. Despite receiving approximately $38.7 million in payments during 2023 under the Ukraine drone contract-a Commissionable Contract expressly identified in Schedule 2 of the Agreement and subject to the 5% commission rate-Cyberlux has failed to pay Montague any portion of the $1,935,000 in commissions due on these receipts. This complete failure to pay commissions constitutes not only a material breach of Section 3 .3 of the Agreement but also triggers the willful misconduct provisions of Section 3.3(c), as the underpayment exceeds 10% of the amount payable (indeed, it represents a 100% underpayment).

terms, this gross underpayment subjects Cyberlux to both interest charges at 1 % per month and an additional penalty equal to 10% of the underpayment amount. 27. In addition to its failure to pay the 5% commission on the Ukraine drone contract, Cyberlux has failed to pay the 2% commission due to Montague on other Commissionable Contracts. 28. In addition to the commission obligations, Cyberlux has failed to pay the monthly consulting fees required under Section 3 .2 of the Agreement. Beginning with the January 2025 payment and continuing through the present, Cyberlux has failed to make six ( 6) of the required monthly payments of $20,833.33. As of today, the unpaid consulting fees total $125,000 for the period January through June 2025, exclusive of interest. This ongoing failure to pay base compensation represents a separate and independent material breach of the Agreement. 29. Compounding these payment failures, Cyberlux has breached its reporting obligations under Section 3.3(a) of the Agreement by failing to provide monthly statements detailing payments received under Commissionable Contracts. Despite the clear requirement that such statements be provided within the first five business days of each month, Montague has received no statements whatsoever regarding the substantial payments Cyberlux has received under the Ukraine drone contract. This lack of transparency has forced Montague to rely on incomplete public information and third-party sources to determine the extent of amounts owed, thereby frustrating the Agreement's provisions designed to ensure accurate and timely commission payments.

31. Cyberlux owes: (a) $1,935,000 in unpaid commissions on the approximately $38.7 million received during 2023; (b) $193,500 representing the 10% penalty on such underpayment pursuant to Section 3 .3; ( c) accrued interest on the unpaid commission at 1 % per month from the date each payment was due; (d) $125,000 in unpaid monthly consulting fees for January through June 2025; and (e) accrued interest on unpaid consulting fees at 1 % per month from each payment's due date. 32. Upon receipt of the $25,795,303.38 payment from HII referenced in the Atlantic Wave case, Cyberlux will owe Montague the 5% commission due thereon ($1,289,765.17) within ten business days. Cyberlux' s failure to timely pay this commission will trigger the 10% penalty provisions of Section 3.3(c). Cyberlux's Demonstrated Pattern of Deliberately Frustrating Creditor Recovery Efforts 33. Cyberlux has demonstrated a pattern of frustrating creditor recovery efforts. (See "Bad Faith Litigation Tactics," infra.) Court records reflect that Cyberlux has repeatedly made representations regarding its intentions to secure or satisfy obligations that have not materialized. In October 2024, Cyberlux represented to the Court in the Atlantic Wave case that a stay of execution had been granted in Virginia regarding the underlying judgment domesticated in Texas, when in fact no such stay had been requested or granted. Subsequently, in April 2025, Cyberlux represented to a federal court (in a baseless and, ultimately rejected, removal action) that it intended to file a supersedeas bond, yet no such motion was ever filed. 34. Cyberlux's financial maneuvers have raised concerns regarding asset preservation. Records indicate that Cyberlux dissipated a substantial portion of the $38.7 million payment it received from HII in September 2023. (See "Cyberlux's Documented Pattern of Asset Dissipation," infra.)

The complaint identifies Legalist SPV III, LP and alleges a January 2025 debt of $7,313,627.17 accruing $4,364.46 daily, later increased borrowing, a protective advance above $2 million and encumbered HII receivables.

31. Cyberlux owes: (a) $1,935,000 in unpaid commissions on the approximately $38.7 million received during 2023; (b) $193,500 representing the 10% penalty on such underpayment pursuant to Section 3 .3; ( c) accrued interest on the unpaid commission at 1 % per month from the date each payment was due; (d) $125,000 in unpaid monthly consulting fees for January through June 2025; and (e) accrued interest on unpaid consulting fees at 1 % per month from each payment's due date. 32. Upon receipt of the $25,795,303.38 payment from HII referenced in the Atlantic Wave case, Cyberlux will owe Montague the 5% commission due thereon ($1,289,765.17) within ten business days. Cyberlux' s failure to timely pay this commission will trigger the 10% penalty provisions of Section 3.3(c). Cyberlux's Demonstrated Pattern of Deliberately Frustrating Creditor Recovery Efforts 33. Cyberlux has demonstrated a pattern of frustrating creditor recovery efforts. (See "Bad Faith Litigation Tactics," infra.) Court records reflect that Cyberlux has repeatedly made representations regarding its intentions to secure or satisfy obligations that have not materialized. In October 2024, Cyberlux represented to the Court in the Atlantic Wave case that a stay of execution had been granted in Virginia regarding the underlying judgment domesticated in Texas, when in fact no such stay had been requested or granted. Subsequently, in April 2025, Cyberlux represented to a federal court (in a baseless and, ultimately rejected, removal action) that it intended to file a supersedeas bond, yet no such motion was ever filed. 34. Cyberlux's financial maneuvers have raised concerns regarding asset preservation. Records indicate that Cyberlux dissipated a substantial portion of the $38.7 million payment it received from HII in September 2023. (See "Cyberlux's Documented Pattern of Asset Dissipation," infra.) Recently, in April 2025, after defaulting on a credit agreement with Legalist SPV III, LP ("Legalist"), Cyberlux amended its line of credit with Legalist to increase 9

its borrowing limit by millions, with the credit facility collateralized by accounts receivable on its Ukraine-related drone contracts. (See "Factoring and Encumbering Receivables", infra.) 35. The facts set forth below, and the scope of creditor claims against Cyberlux (see "Cyberlux is at Extreme Risk of Insolvency," infra), underscore the critical need for Montague's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction, filed concurrently herewith. 36. Recently terminated Texas receivership proceedings exemplify Cyberlux's systematic efforts to evade creditor obligations while controlling substantial assets. On July 7, 2024, Atlantic Wave Holdings, LLC filed a petition to enforce a Virginia foreign judgment in the 129th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas. Following months of contentious litigation, Atlantic Wave moved to appoint a receiver on January 9, 2025. Despite the court's oral grant of the motion, Cyberlux removed the case to federal court before a written order could be entered. Judge Lee Rosenthal remanded the case on March 27, 2025, finding the removal untimely. When Atlantic Wave renewed its motion for receiver appointment, Cyberlux again removed to federal court on April 11, 2025-prompting Judge Rosenthal to award attorney's fees as sanctions and find that "Cyberlux had no objectively reasonable basis to remove again." Cyberlux's Documented Pattern of Asset Dissipation 3 7. Court records reveal a shocking pattern of asset dissipation by Cyberlux immediately upon receipt of government contract funds. According to the sworn declaration of William Welter in the Atlantic Wave case, bank records produced in discovery confirmed that Cyberlux "received a payment of $38.7 million from a US Government contract to supply drones to Ukraine on September 8, 2023." Rather than use these funds to satisfy creditor obligations or maintain business operations, "Defendants transferred significant sums of money to personal 10

Future expected receipts and past claimed principal remain separate; the prayer also seeks other commissions, interest and fees.supportsThe quantum-meruit revenue description and the mixed total use different denominators. Five percent of the displayed $38.7 million plus $25,795,303.38 is $3,224,765.17; the $318,500 difference to $3,543,265.17 equals the displayed fee and premium. The review preserves the pleading’s figure and asks for the valuation bridge rather than treating the total as pure commission.

The 2019 agreement supplies continuing confidentiality with public-information and compelled-disclosure exceptions, a one-year post-termination non-solicitation covenant, accrued-obligation payment within fifteen days, broad mutual liability limitations, hand/certified-mail notice, payment-conditioned work ownership and restrictions on assignment/payment encumbrance. It selects North Carolina law/courts and signed written amendments. Its reference to an inducement to Fusion is retained as a drafting artefact, not treated as a newly established contracting party.supportsThe 2019 fee, conversion and conditional work ownership provisions must be kept separate from the 2023 restatement. Applying the earlier $0.0002 conversion price or payment condition across all later work would exceed these instruments.

Exhibit C is a signed memorandum from Schmidt to Kalenja intended effective 5 January 2023, carrying DocuSign envelope 0D270CFF-7AEE-4836-923A-7FB1FFB74AC9 and displayed dates 01.05.2023. It memorialises $600,000 for Datron acquisition diligence/negotiations, applies the same commission schedule to Datron products, and says the referenced drone order increased from 1,000 to 2,000 with 5 percent commission payable. A displayed effective date and signature date are not independent DocuSign audit history; no actual payment of the flat fee or fulfilment of the increased order is shown.supportsThis file contains two evidentiary levels: Montague’s pleaded account and reproduced signed instruments. Contract text supports what was agreed on its face; it does not independently establish performance, loss, fraud, lien priority or an allowed claim.

Section 8.1 promises broad Cyberlux defence/indemnity to Consultant Indemnitees for the stated actual/alleged acts, breaches and proceedings to the greatest extent Nevada law permits, including known/unknown and pre/post-effective matters. Section 8.2 describes counsel choice, advancement, escrow and time compensation but switches to Cyberlux Indemnitees and refers to sections 8.3/8.4, which do not appear as separate sections before section 9. Those drafting inconsistencies remain unresolved; no expanded entitlement or corrected wording is invented.supportsHow should the indemnity beneficiary switches and references to absent sections 8.3/8.4 be interpreted, and are there executed corrections or a judicial construction?

Montague alleges $250,000 annual base compensation, 2 percent general and 5 percent Ukraine commissions, unpaid 5 percent on approximately $38.7 million received in 2023, missing monthly statements and $125,000 January–June 2025 fees. The pleading says the agreement had not then been terminated and alleges 1 percent monthly interest and a 10 percent underpayment premium. The June statement of no termination is date-specific.supportsThe pleaded recovery assumes the expected HII funds become payable within the commissionable line and that the alleged breaches and premium predicates are established.

Section 3.5 distinguishes unpaid-obligation interest at 1 percent monthly after fifteen days from an optional year-end conversion into a one-year note carrying 1 percent compounded monthly and stock conversion at the prior closing price.
