A parallel structure would be,
Subject+ verb: either
you study or
you risk
Verb (Imperative): either
study or
risk
"you study" and "you risk" are not imperative structures. Consider the third person form, Either
she studies or
she risks failing the exam. The verbs are conjungated (note, -s).
Try,
If you don't study now, you might fail the exam.
"fail the exam" is a potential consequence of not studying.
