I can say my relationship with you, both our professional and our friendship, is one of the most important ones I've had in my life, period. What we've done and the times we've had will be the highlights I will always remember, no matter what. I truly hope we can find a path forward that works for you. The impact on customers and our reps is unacceptable - I have been dying inside over this and its impact across the company should have never happened. Between HII and Legalist, we have been pushed into this corner and have to fight our way out, fighting all our enemies. I don't want to leave anything to chance if we can find a path forward. Anything is on the table, other than Denis back coming in: • Retention bonus ($1M over next four quarters) • Base salary increase to $250K with revised commission structure, TBD • Notes and commissions paid out of HII money asap • Position of President if you want that now • Board of Directors? You should likely wait until we have D&O insurance soon then join • Co-share all decision-making between you, me and Chris plus Loren on cash • Ultimately well bring in a new CEO and I'll move to Chairman as soon as we can execute a strategic plan like the one I've attached from Roman V - where we uplist to NASDAQ for example, including changing the Cyberlux name. Roman also has Trump ties and we will get significant Trump-universe board membership. We are talking to good capital partners now and you need to understand the environment and future. Loren is ready to discuss at any point. I have attached the cash flow worksheet from Loren that gives you the operating detail. Loren is available for discussion whenever you have time. I know you have a dire outlook and I understand. I'm not sure who is advising you, but we are making meaningful progress, and anyone on our team is available to discuss specifics. Attached is the Stay on the receiver and a Cease and Desist that effectively ends him. This was done over the last 2 days and clears up the matter significantly, with only what the receiver will be paid per the upcoming court decision. We were never in 'receivership' as I said, and now this receiver is boxed up. I have the lead attorney, Jeff Brown, standing by to speak with you about the whole situation so you have the full picture. All this is unacceptable I know. We've not been paid by HII per the contract modification, Legalist has reneged on the new loan agreement, and lawyers have made mistakes, all that led to where we are. All I know to do is fight our enemies every day like I am, to resolve the critical matters as fast as possible. You should never have to address this kind of situation with customers and reps. I will work a plan with you for the reps where we make the commission payments and pay bonuses where you decide, for the missed shipments and customer delivery issues. I will do whatever is necessary to correct these issues.

WHEREAS, the Executive has been an employee of the Company and the Company desires to continue to employ the Executive on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and WHEREAS, the Executive desires to be employed by the Company and provide services to the Company Group on such terms and conditions; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, promises, and obligations set forth herein, the parties agree as follows: 1. Term.

Unless earlier terminated as provided herein, Executive’s initial employment term will be for a period of two (2) years (the “Initial Term”); and thereafter the Agreement shall be deemed to be automatically extended, upon the same terms and conditions, for successive periods of one year, unless either party provides written notice of its intention not to extend the term at least 30 days prior to any anniversary of the Effective Date falling on or after the second anniversary of the Effective Date. The period during which the Executive is employed by the Company hereunder is hereinafter referred to as the “Employment Term.” 2. Position and Duties. 2.1 Position. During the Employment Term, the Executive shall serve as the Chief Revenue Officer of the Company Group, reporting to the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) of the Company’s parent company, Cyberlux Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Nevada, with an address at 800 Park Offices Drive, Suite 3209, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709 (“Cyberlux”).

I can say my relationship with you, both our professional and our friendship, is one of the most important ones I've had in my life, period. What we've done and the times we've had will be the highlights I will always remember, no matter what. I truly hope we can find a path forward that works for you. The impact on customers and our reps is unacceptable - I have been dying inside over this and its impact across the company should have never happened. Between HII and Legalist, we have been pushed into this corner and have to fight our way out, fighting all our enemies. I don't want to leave anything to chance if we can find a path forward. Anything is on the table, other than Denis back coming in: • Retention bonus ($1M over next four quarters) • Base salary increase to $250K with revised commission structure, TBD • Notes and commissions paid out of HII money asap • Position of President if you want that now • Board of Directors? You should likely wait until we have D&O insurance soon then join • Co-share all decision-making between you, me and Chris plus Loren on cash • Ultimately well bring in a new CEO and I'll move to Chairman as soon as we can execute a strategic plan like the one I've attached from Roman V - where we uplist to NASDAQ for example, including changing the Cyberlux name. Roman also has Trump ties and we will get significant Trump-universe board membership. We are talking to good capital partners now and you need to understand the environment and future. Loren is ready to discuss at any point. I have attached the cash flow worksheet from Loren that gives you the operating detail. Loren is available for discussion whenever you have time. I know you have a dire outlook and I understand. I'm not sure who is advising you, but we are making meaningful progress, and anyone on our team is available to discuss specifics. Attached is the Stay on the receiver and a Cease and Desist that effectively ends him. This was done over the last 2 days and clears up the matter significantly, with only what the receiver will be paid per the upcoming court decision. We were never in 'receivership' as I said, and now this receiver is boxed up. I have the lead attorney, Jeff Brown, standing by to speak with you about the whole situation so you have the full picture. All this is unacceptable I know. We've not been paid by HII per the contract modification, Legalist has reneged on the new loan agreement, and lawyers have made mistakes, all that led to where we are. All I know to do is fight our enemies every day like I am, to resolve the critical matters as fast as possible. You should never have to address this kind of situation with customers and reps. I will work a plan with you for the reps where we make the commission payments and pay bonuses where you decide, for the missed shipments and customer delivery issues. I will do whatever is necessary to correct these issues.

I am competent to make this affidavit in support of my motion for summary judgment, and I have personal knowledge of the facts stated herein. 2. On or about August 9, 2022, I began working with Mr. Mark Schmidt (“Mr. Schmidt”) in order to support Cyberlux’s efforts to obtain an award from the U.S. government through the prime contractor, HII Mission Technologies Corp.

My work and expertise were instrumental, including over ten (10) trips to Ukraine and several meetings with Ukrainian government officials, including the Ukrainian ministry of defense. 5.

Page 2 of 2 6. In June of 2025 Mr. Schmidt and I had many conversations about my receiving the commissions and expenses that were owed to me. I was promised many times that I would get paid from the monies that HII were to pay Cyberlux. The reason I stayed at Cyberlux during that time is because of the promises made to me by Mr. Schmidt. 7. On or about July 2, 2025, Mr. Schmidt sent me an email again promising me payment from the HII monies. After Mr. Schmidts emails, he would follow up with me via telephone calls about the payments. Those phone calls would last hours, and he continued to make promises of payment to me from the monies coming from HII. 8. On or about November 19, 2025 I sued Datron in California for breach of contract amongst other causes of actions. Datron and Cyberlux were used interchangeably throughout the time when I was an employee of both entities. I had Datron and Cyberlux emails as I was listed as the Chief Revenue Officer for both entities. Mr. Schmidt did not distinguish between both entities and the quarterly filings demonstrates my title as the Chief Revenue Officer of Cyberlux. 9. Datron was served and on or about December 23, 2025 the clerk issued a default against Datron for its failure to respond to the complaint. 10. I am currently owed one million and sixty two thousand and five hundred and seventy six dollars and ninety eight cents ($1,062,576.98) from Cyberlux d/b/a Datron for my work and pursuant to my contract.

I've attached two ways this can go, where Denis keeps 20M, and you get 30M shares from the combination of me, Treasury, and Denis; or Denis keeps 10M and you get 20M from Denis and 10M from me. Either way we have control of >75% and can then restructure as we want. This gives us basically equal footing as we execute an uplisting. Check out the NASDAQ section of the spreadsheet. We'll likely have to give up more than this to the capital raising partner but it still nets a big number. I need your help to negotiate with Denis on the rest of his override BS, whatever makes sense to you. And he drops all his lawsuits for all time.

I can say my relationship with you, both our professional and our friendship, is one of the most important ones I've had in my life, period. What we've done and the times we've had will be the highlights I will always remember, no matter what. I truly hope we can find a path forward that works for you. The impact on customers and our reps is unacceptable - I have been dying inside over this and its impact across the company should have never happened. Between HII and Legalist, we have been pushed into this corner and have to fight our way out, fighting all our enemies. I don't want to leave anything to chance if we can find a path forward. Anything is on the table, other than Denis back coming in: • Retention bonus ($1M over next four quarters) • Base salary increase to $250K with revised commission structure, TBD • Notes and commissions paid out of HII money asap • Position of President if you want that now • Board of Directors? You should likely wait until we have D&O insurance soon then join • Co-share all decision-making between you, me and Chris plus Loren on cash • Ultimately well bring in a new CEO and I'll move to Chairman as soon as we can execute a strategic plan like the one I've attached from Roman V - where we uplist to NASDAQ for example, including changing the Cyberlux name. Roman also has Trump ties and we will get significant Trump-universe board membership. We are talking to good capital partners now and you need to understand the environment and future. Loren is ready to discuss at any point. I have attached the cash flow worksheet from Loren that gives you the operating detail. Loren is available for discussion whenever you have time. I know you have a dire outlook and I understand. I'm not sure who is advising you, but we are making meaningful progress, and anyone on our team is available to discuss specifics. Attached is the Stay on the receiver and a Cease and Desist that effectively ends him. This was done over the last 2 days and clears up the matter significantly, with only what the receiver will be paid per the upcoming court decision. We were never in 'receivership' as I said, and now this receiver is boxed up. I have the lead attorney, Jeff Brown, standing by to speak with you about the whole situation so you have the full picture. All this is unacceptable I know. We've not been paid by HII per the contract modification, Legalist has reneged on the new loan agreement, and lawyers have made mistakes, all that led to where we are. All I know to do is fight our enemies every day like I am, to resolve the critical matters as fast as possible. You should never have to address this kind of situation with customers and reps. I will work a plan with you for the reps where we make the commission payments and pay bonuses where you decide, for the missed shipments and customer delivery issues. I will do whatever is necessary to correct these issues.

(“Datron” or “Defendant”) and Does 1-20. THE PARTIES 1. Plaintiff is currently living in Beirut, Lebanon, at the direction of Datron. At all relevant times, Plaintiff worked for Datron, who is domiciled in San Diego County, California. 2. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that defendant Datron World Communications, Inc. is a California corporation with its principal place of business at 995 Joshua Way, Suite A, Vista, CA 92081. Datron is, and at all relevant times herein mentioned was, authorized to do business in the State of California. 3. The true names and capacities, whether individual, corporate, associate or otherwise, of the defendants denominated as DOES 1-20 inclusive, are unknown at this time to Plaintiff and therefore said defendants are sued by such fictitious names. Plaintiff is informed and believes and based thereon alleges that each of the fictitiously named defendants is responsible, and therefore liable, for the acts and omissions sued upon herein. Such Doe defendants, by amendment to the Complaint, may be identified as named defendants herein, when and if Plaintiff learns of their true identity. JURISDICTION, AND VENUE 4. Jurisdiction is proper in this Court because Defendant is subject to jurisdiction on claims relating to its activities and wrongful conduct in California as Plaintiff’s employer, and the amount in controversy exceeds $35,000. 5. Venue is proper in this judicial district pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure § 395(a) because Datron’s headquarters is in San Diego County and the wrongful conduct occurred in San Diego County. Further, Plaintiff’s Employment Agreement states that “Any action or proceeding by either of the parties to enforce this Agreement shall be brought only in a state or federal court located in the state of California, county of San Diego.” Case 3:25-cv-00483-JAG Document 171-1 Filed 04/15/26 Page 50 of 72 PageID# 2601

I've attached two ways this can go, where Denis keeps 20M, and you get 30M shares from the combination of me, Treasury, and Denis; or Denis keeps 10M and you get 20M from Denis and 10M from me. Either way we have control of >75% and can then restructure as we want. This gives us basically equal footing as we execute an uplisting. Check out the NASDAQ section of the spreadsheet. We'll likely have to give up more than this to the capital raising partner but it still nets a big number. I need your help to negotiate with Denis on the rest of his override BS, whatever makes sense to you. And he drops all his lawsuits for all time. There is a lot here and I am open to anything and available to discuss at any point. I love ya Brother - Mark Mark Schmidt | President and CEO mschmidt@cyberlux.com 919-434-6608 CYBERLUX® Harnessing the Future Visit our Website From: Bill Maadarani <bmaadarani@cyberlux.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 1, 2025 6:15 AM To: Patrick Godfrey <pgodfrey@cyberlux.com> Cc: Mark Schmidt <mschmidt@cyberlux.com>; Chris Barter <cbarter@cyberlux.com> Subject: Bill's exit path Patrick, I would like to schedule a day to discuss my negotiated exit out of Cyberlux. I'm seeking your assistance in providing me feedback from the CEO of Cyberlux on the following attachments: 1. Commission on the sales that bought 2. Employment agreement that was signed when I first accepted the position 3. Past due amounts for my salary 4. Convertible notes that are due and common stocks 5. Discussion with corporate attorney concerning my Series B stocks and the path of the sales of those stocks 6. Training for the folks that you need to hire to replace me Please schedule a meeting for me to discuss this if possible. I'll wait to hear back from the team. Best Regards,

I can say my relationship with you, both our professional and our friendship, is one of the most important ones I've had in my life, period. What we've done and the times we've had will be the highlights I will always remember, no matter what. I truly hope we can find a path forward that works for you. The impact on customers and our reps is unacceptable - I have been dying inside over this and its impact across the company should have never happened. Between HII and Legalist, we have been pushed into this corner and have to fight our way out, fighting all our enemies. I don't want to leave anything to chance if we can find a path forward. Anything is on the table, other than Denis back coming in: • Retention bonus ($1M over next four quarters) • Base salary increase to $250K with revised commission structure, TBD • Notes and commissions paid out of HII money asap • Position of President if you want that now • Board of Directors? You should likely wait until we have D&O insurance soon then join • Co-share all decision-making between you, me and Chris plus Loren on cash • Ultimately we'll bring in a new CEO and I'll move to Chairman as soon as we can execute a strategic plan like the one I've attached from Roman V - where we uplist to NASDAQ for example, including changing the Cyberlux name. Roman also has Trump ties and we will get significant Trump-universe board membership. We are talking to good capital partners now and you need to understand the environment and future. Loren is ready to discuss at any point. I have attached the cash flow worksheet from Loren that gives you the operating detail. Loren is available for discussion whenever you have time. I know you have a dire outlook and I understand. I'm not sure who is advising you, but we are making meaningful progress, and anyone on our team is available to discuss specifics. Attached is the Stay on the receiver and a Cease and Desist that effectively ends him. This was done over the last 2 days and clears up the matter significantly, with only what the receiver will be paid per the upcoming court decision. We were never in 'receivership' as I said, and now this receiver is boxed up. I have the lead attorney, Jeff Brown, standing by to speak with you about the whole situation so you have the full picture. All this is unacceptable I know. We've not been paid by HII per the contract modification, Legalist has reneged on the new loan agreement, and lawyers have made mistakes, all that led to where we are. All I know to do is fight our enemies every day like I am, to resolve the critical matters as fast as possible. You should never have to address this kind of situation with customers and reps. I will work a plan with you for the reps where we make the commission payments and pay bonuses where you decide, for the missed shipments and customer delivery issues. I will do whatever is necessary to correct these issues.
