1.

DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS: Among other indebtedness which may be owing by Borrower to Lender, Borrower is indebted to Lender pursuant to, among other documents, a Business Financing Agreement, dated March 6, 2018, by and between Borrower and Lender, as the same may be amended from time to time (the "Business Financing Agreement''). Capitaliz.ed tenns used without definition herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Business Financing Agreement.

 

 

Hereinafter, all indebtedness owing by Borrower to Lender shall be referred to as the "Indebtedness" and the Business Financing Agreement and any and all other documents executed by Borrower in favor of Lender shall be referred to as the "Existing Documents."

 

2.DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING DEFAULTS. Borrower is currently in default of the Business Financing Agreement for (a) failing to comply with the covenant set forth in Section 4.15 of the Business Financing Agreement as a result of Borrower's failure to transition all of its depository and operating accounts and investment accounts to Lender within 90 days of the Closing Date, and (b) failing to comply with the covenant set forth in Section 4.18 of the Business Financing Agreement as a result of Borrower's failure to complete the Subsidiary Dissolution within 90 days of the Closing Date (collectively, the "Existing Defaults"). Borrower has requested that Lender waive its rights and remedies against Borrower, limited specifically to the Existing Defaults. Although Lender is under no obligation to do so, Lender is willing to not exercise its rights and remedies against Borrower related to the specific Existing Defaults on the terms and conditions set forth in this Modification Agreement, so long as Borrower complies with the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in this Modification Agreement.

 

3.WAIVER OF COVENANT DEFAULTS. Lender hereby waives Borrower's Existing Defaults under the Business Financing Agreement. Lender's waiver of Borrower's compliance of these covenants shall apply only to the foregoing periods. Accordingly, hereinafter, Borrower shall be in compliance with these covenants, as amended hereby. Lender's agreement to waive the Existing Defaults (1) in no way shall be deemed an agreement by Lender to waive Borrower's compliance with the above•described covenants as of all other dates, (2) shall not limit or impair Lender's right to demand strict perfonnance of these covenants as of all other dates, and (3) shall not limit or impair Lender's right to demand strict perfonnance of all other covenants as of any date.

7.NO DEFENSES OF BORROWER/GENERAL RELEASE. Borrower agrees that, as of this date, it has no defenses against the obligations to pay any amounts under the Indebtedness. Borrower ("Releasing Party") acknowledges that Lender would not enter into this Modification Agreement without Releasing Party's assurance that it has no claims against Lender or any of Lender's officers, directors, employees or agents.

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXIBND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

8.

CONTINUING VALIDITY. Borrower understands and agrees that in modifying the existing Indebtedness and waiving the Existing Defaults, Lender is relying upon Borrower's representations, warranties, and agreements, as set forth in the Existing Documents. Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Modification Agreement, the terms of the Existing Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Lender's agreement to modifications to the existing Indebtedness and to waive the Existing Defaults pursuant to this Modification Agreement in no way shall obligate Lender to make any future forbearances, waivers or modifications to the Indebtedness. Nothing in this Modification Agreement shall constitute a satisfaction of the Indebtedness. It is the intention of Lender and Borrower to retain as liable parties all makers and endorsers of Existing Documents, unless the party is expressly released by Lender in writing. No maker, endorser, or guarantor will be released by virtue of this Modification Agreement. The terms of this paragraph apply not only to this Modification Agreement, but also to any subsequent business financing modification agreements.
