Comparison to Industry Standards

• I-Fa Chang, a member and manager of the Sponsor, has provided working capital loans and extension funding.
• The payee of each Monthly Extension Note, I-Fa Chang, has the right, but not the obligation, to convert each Monthly Extension Note, in whole or in part, respectively, into Private Placement Units of the Company, that are identical to the Private Placement Units issued by the Company in the Private Placement consummated simultaneously with the Company's IPO
