Borrower agrees to pay, on the Funding Date of each Term Loan, any initial partial monthly interest payment otherwise due for the period between the Funding Date of such Term Loan and the first Payment Date thereof. Commencing on the Amortization Date, and continuing on the Payment Date of each month thereafter, Borrower shall make equal monthly payments of principal, together with applicable interest, in arrears, to Bank, as calculated by Bank (which calculations shall be deemed correct absent manifest error) based upon: (1) the amount of such Term Loan, (2) the effective rate of interest, as determined in Section 2.4(a), and (3) a repayment schedule equal to
(i) if the Amortization Date is February 1, 2018, thirty-six (36) months and (ii) if the Amortization Date is August 1, 2018, thirty (30) months; provided, however, Borrower’s Term Loan principal payments due on May 1, 2020, June 1, 2020, and July 1, 2020 (the “Deferred Principal Payments”) shall be deferred and on August 1, 2020, the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans, including the Deferred Principal Payments, shall re-amortize and commencing on August 1, 2020 and continuing on the Payment Date of each month thereafter, Borrower shall make equal monthly payments of principal, together with applicable interest, in arrears, to Bank, as calculated by Bank (which calculations shall be deemed correct absent manifest error) based upon: (1) the amount of such Term Loan, (2) the effective rate of interest, as determined in Section 2.4(a), and (3) a repayment schedule equal to (i) six (6) months. All unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest with respect to each Term Loan is due and payable in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

Bank’s failure at any time to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision shall not affect any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance. Any suspension or waiver of a right must be in writing signed by an officer of Bank.
7.Unless otherwise defined, all initially capitalized terms in this Amendment shall be as defined in the Agreement. The Agreement, as amended hereby, shall be and remain in full force and effect in accordance with its respective terms and hereby is ratified and confirmed in all respects.
