LOANS PAYABLE | NOTE 6 - LOANS PAYABLE Promissory Notes Payable We received $250,000 in proceeds from an institutional investor pursuant to a promissory note dated May 6, 2021. The note bears interest at 12% per year and matures on May 6, 2023. In April 2022, we paid off the total principal balance of the note and the accrued interest. We issued a promissory note for $1,750,000 pursuant to the Parrut acquisition agreement dated July 7, 2021. The note had a term of 24 months, accrued interest at 6%, and originally matured on July 1, 2023. The note required monthly payments of $77,561. On October 19, 2022, Parrut agreed to subordinate their note to a promissory note issued to Montage Capital II, L.P. In return, we restructured the payment schedule for the Parrut note which now matures on August 31, 2023, and bears interest at 12%. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the outstanding balance on the promissory note with Parrut was $305,169 and $444,245, respectively. We issued a promissory note for $3,000,000 pursuant to the Novo Group acquisition agreement dated August 27, 2021. The note originally had a term of 30 months, bears interest at 6%, and was scheduled to mature on February 1, 2024. The note requires monthly payments of $85,000 for the first 12 months, $110,000 for months 13 through 24, $155,000 for months 25 through 29, and $152,357 for month 30. In April 2022, we negotiated a reduction in this promissory note with Novo Group due to employee turnover that occurred following the acquisition. We entered into an agreement with Novo Group to reduce the outstanding principal balance by $600,000 and changed the maturity date to November 1, 2023. The reduction in the promissory note was accounted for as gain on debt extinguishment on the consolidated statement of operations. In October 2022, Novo Group entered into a Subordination Agreement (“Subordination Agreement”), pursuant to which Novo agreed to subordinate all its indebtedness and obligations we owe to Novo to all the indebtedness and obligations we owe to Montage Capital. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the outstanding balance on the promissory note with Novo Group was $1,256,596 and $1,292,360, respectively. In February 2023, we entered into an additional Amendment to the Promissory Note with Novo Group, Inc. (the “Novo Amendment”). The Novo Amendment further modifies the Promissory Note issued to Novo on August 27, 2021 (the “Novo Note”) and amended on April 1, 2022, by amending the payment schedule pursuant to which we would make payments of principal and interest to Novo. Novo agreed we would pay interest only for the period starting November 1, 2022 though and including March 31, 2023, with payments of principal and interest to resume starting April 1, 2023. We also replaced the existing payment schedule with a new payment schedule terminating on October 31, 2023. On August 17, 2022, we issued promissory notes for $1,111,111, in the aggregate (the “8/17/22 Notes”) We received proceeds of $960,000, net of debt issuance costs of $40,000 and an original issue discount of $111,111. The 8/17/22 Notes have a term of 12 months, bear interest at 6%, and mature on August 17, 2023. The 8/17/22 Notes are to be paid off in full on August 17, 2023. As a part of these financings, we granted the noteholders 694,445 warrants to purchase our common stock (See Note 8) (the “8/17/22 Warrants”). The 8/17/22 Warrants were valued at $463,737 and treated as a debt discount to be amortized over the life of the note. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the outstanding balance on the 8/17/22 Notes, net of the unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discounts of $76,856 and $384,280, respectively, was $1,034,255 and $726,831, respectively. On August 7, 2023 the Company signed an amendment to two promissory notes for $800,000 and $200,000 for one investor. The amendment extends each of the maturity dates of August 17, 2023 and August 30, 2023 respectively, by 180 days. In return, the company has agreed to give $50,000 in either stock or cash at its discretion within ninety days of signing the amendment. On August 30, 2022, we issued promissory notes for $1,305,556, in the aggregate (the “8/30/22 Notes,” and together with the 8/17/22 Notes, the “August 2022 Notes”). We received proceeds of $1,175,000, net of an original issue discount of $130,556. The 8/30/22 Notes have a term of 12 months, bear interest at 6%, and mature on August 30, 2023. The 8/30/22 Notes are to be paid off in full on August 30, 2023.

These 8/30/22 Warrants were valued at $569,106 and treated as a debt discount to be amortized over the life of the note. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the outstanding balance on the 8/30/22 Notes, net of the unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discounts of $116,610 and $466,441, respectively, was $1,188,946 and $839,115, respectively. On October 19, 2022, the “Company closed a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), by and among the Company and Montage Capital II, L.P. (the “Lender”). Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Lender will make advances (“Advances”) in the aggregate principal amount of $2,250,000, with the first Advance of $2,000,000 being provided on or around the Closing Date and the second Advance of $250,000 being available to the Company upon request prior to April 30, 2023. Interest will accrue on all Advances under the Loan Agreement at a per annum rate of 12.75%. In the event of a default under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the interest rate increases by 5 percentage points above the interest rate in effect immediately prior to a default. The entire outstanding principal balance of the Advances, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all fees and other amounts outstanding thereunder will be immediately due and payable on the 42nd month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Maturity Date”). In connection with the Loan Agreement, the Company granted and pledged to the Lender a continuing security interest in all presently existing and hereafter acquired or arising Collateral (as more specifically defined in the Loan Agreement) which includes all personal property of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Loan Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants to which the Company is also subject. The Company agreed to pay the Lender a fee of $45,600, with $40,000 due upon the execution of the Loan Agreement and the balance due upon the funding of the second Advance. The Company is permitted to prepay any amounts due to the Lender; provided, however, that a Prepayment Fee (as more specifically defined in the Loan Agreement) shall be owed to the Lender depending on when the amounts are prepaid. In addition, in connection with the Loan Agreement, the Company issued 706,551 warrants to purchase common stock of the Company (the “Warrants”) to the Lender, with 622,803 Warrants issued and exercisable upon the Closing Date and the additional 83,708 Warrants becoming exercisable upon funding of the second Advance. The Warrants are exercisable for ten years from the Closing Date at an exercise price of $2.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments. Upon the earlier of the Maturity Date or a sale of the Company or other change in control, the Lender has the right to cause the Company to repurchase the Warrants for up to $703,125 ($600,000 if only the first Advance has been made and $703,125 if both Advances have been made). The Company is also obligated to pay the Lender a cash fee equal to 1.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Advances that is outstanding on each anniversary of the Closing Date if (i) the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the thirty (30) day period prior to such anniversary date is less than $2.00 or (ii) the closing price of the Company’s common stock for the date immediately prior to such anniversary date is less than $2.00. The Company accrues anniversary fees each year on the one-year anniversary of the issuance date of 1.25% of the outstanding advance balance depending on the stock price. The accrued anniversary fees are payable on the date the buyout fee becomes due and payable. The Company records an expense for the 1.25% cash fee ratably over the 12 months. On February 2, 2023, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the “Montage Amendment”), by and between the Company, its subsidiaries (Recruiter.com, Inc., Recruiter.com Recruiting Solutions, LLC, Recruiter.com Consulting, LLC, VocaWorks, Inc., Recruiter.com Scouted, Inc., Recruiter.com Upsider, Inc., and Recruiter.com - OneWire, Inc.), and Montage, effective as December 18, 2022. The Montage Amendment modifies that certain Loan and Security Agreement by and among the Company, its subsidiaries, and Montage to provide the Company with additional time to meet certain post-closing covenants. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the outstanding balance on the Loan Agreement, net of the unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discounts of $553,177 and $622,630, respectively, was $1,446,823 and $1,377,370, respectively. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the outstanding principal balance on the promissory notes payable totaled $5,978,432 and $6,153,272, respectively. Factoring Arrangement We entered into a factoring agreement with CSNK Working Capital Finance Corp. d/b/a Bay View Funding, a subsidiary of Heritage Bank of Commerce (the “Buyer”), effective April 27, 2022 (the “Factoring Agreement”), for the purpose of factoring our trade accounts receivable with recourse. The proceeds of the factoring are used to fund our general working capital needs. The Company is accounting for this transaction as a secured borrowing under the Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets guidance. The agreement is for a term of twelve months with an auto renewal clause for an additional twelve months unless terminated by the parties. The agreement is secured by substantially all assets of the Company. Pursuant to the Factoring Agreement, we sell certain trade accounts receivable to the Buyer. We are charged a finance fee, defined as a floating rate per annum on outstanding advances under the Factoring Agreement, equal to the prime rate plus 3.25% due on the first day of each month. We are also charged a factoring fee of 0.575% of the gross face value of any trade accounts receivables for the first 30 days from when the trade accounts receivable is purchased and 0.30% for each fifteen days afterward until the purchased receivable is paid in full or repurchased. We receive advances of up to 85% of the amount of eligible trade accounts receivable. Advances outstanding shall not exceed the lesser of $3,000,000 or an amount equal to the sum of all undisputed purchased trade accounts receivable multiplied by 85%, less any reserved funds. All collections of purchased receivables go directly to the Buyer controlled lockbox and Buyer shall apply these collections to the Company’s obligations. The Company will immediately turn over to Buyer any payment on a purchased receivable, or receivable assigned to Buyer under the Factoring Agreement, that comes into the Company’s possession. In the event the Company comes into possession of a remittance comprising payments of both a purchased receivable and receivable which has not been purchased by Buyer, the Company is required to hold the same in accordance with the provisions set forth above and immediately turn same over to Buyer. As stated previously, the Company factors the accounts receivable on a recourse basis. Therefore, if the Buyer cannot collect the factored accounts receivable from the customer, the Company must refund the advance amount remitted to us for any uncollected accounts receivable from the customer. Accordingly, the Company records the liability of potentially having to refund the advance amount as short-term debt when the factoring arrangement is utilized. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $0 and $545,216 of advances were outstanding under the factoring arrangement, respectively, and $37,051 and $263,939, was due from the factor, respectively, resulting in a net $0 and $281,277 loan payable to the factor, respectively. The June 30, 2023, amount due from factor is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets. As consideration for Buyer forgoing other factoring transactions in the marketplace and for establishing the maximum credit of $3,000,000, the Company paid the Buyer a facility fee upon entering into the Factoring Agreement (the “Facility Fee”) in the amount of one half of one percent (0.50%) of the maximum credit, $15,000. An additional Facility Fee is charged for increases to the maximum credit, but only for the incremental increase. The Facility Fee was accounted for as a factoring fee expense, which is included as part of the interest expense along with all other factor fees. The cost of factoring for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $1,486 and $26,302, respectively, and the for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $20,237 and $26,302, respectively, and is included in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations.
