NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

 

1.            Section 2.1(r). Section 2.1(r) of the Note is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

“(r) at any time on or after October 31, 2024, the Maker shall fail to maintain an aggregate minimum balance equal to 50% of the then Outstanding Principal Amount or more in cash or cash equivalents with one or more financial institutions;”

 

2.            Stockholder Meeting. In Section 5 of Amendment No. 5, “July 31, 2024” is deleted and replaced with “October 31, 2024”.

 

3.            Waivers. The Holder hereby agrees to forebear, from the date hereof through October 31, 2024 (the “Forbearance Period”) from exercising any right the Holder may have to assert or claim that a Material Adverse Effect has occurred as a result of any event, occurrence, fact, condition or change that occurred at any time on or prior to July 16, 2024, and, in connection therewith, further agrees, during the Forbearance Period, to forbear from exercising any right with respect to any Event of Default that may have occurred pursuant to Section 2.1(s) of the Note or as a result of any alleged breach by the Company of Section 2.1(s) of the Note as a result of any event, occurrence, fact, condition or change that occurred at any time on or prior to July 16, 2024. The Holder expressly retains the right to assert any Event of Default with respect to Section 2.1(s) of the Note as a result of any event, occurrence, fact, condition or change that occurred or occurs after July 16, 2024. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder acknowledges that the Company’s execution of this Amendment shall not be construed as an admission or acknowledgement by the Company that: (A) any event, occurrence, fact, condition or change has occurred or occurs that constitutes a Material Adverse Effect, or (B) the Holder has a right to assert that an Event of Default has occurred pursuant to Section 2.1(s) of the Note, and the Company’s execution of this Amendment shall be deemed to be without prejudice to the Company in this regard. In addition, the Holder hereby waives any Event of Default which has occurred prior to the date hereof as a result of any failure by the Company to comply with the covenant contained in Section 2.1(r) of the Note through and including the date hereof, including any obligation by the Company to notify the Holder of any such Event of Default (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that such waiver shall not apply to the Company’s obligations with respect to Section 2.1(r) of the Note from and after the date hereof).

5.            Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York, without reference to principles of conflict of laws or choice of laws.
