3.             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. Each of Borrower and Guarantor (each, a “Releasing Party”) acknowledges that Lender would not enter into this Modification without Releasing Party’s assurance that it has no claims against Lender or any of Lender’s officers, directors, employees or agents. Except for the obligations arising hereafter under this Modification, each Releasing Party releases Lender, and each of Lender’s officers, directors and employees from any known or unknown claims that Releasing Party now has against Lender of any nature, including any claims that Releasing Party, its successors, counsel, and advisors may in the future discover they would have now had if they had known facts not now known to them, whether founded in contract, in tort or pursuant to any other theory of liability, in each case, that relate to, arise out of or otherwise are in connection with the Loan Documents or any of the negotiations, events or circumstances arising of or related to the Business Financing Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby through the date of this Modification. Each Releasing Party acknowledges and agrees that they have been informed by their attorneys and advisors of, and are familiar with, and do hereby expressly waive, the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, and any similar statute, code, law, or regulation of any state or the United States, to the full extent that they may waive such rights and benefits. Civil Code section 1542 provides:

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

The provisions, waivers and releases set forth in this section are binding upon each Releasing Party and its shareholders, agents, employees, assigns and successors in interest. The provisions, waivers and releases of this section shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its agents, employees, officers, directors, assigns and successors in interest. The provisions of this section shall survive payment in full of the Obligations, full performance of all the terms of this Modification and the Business Financing Agreement, and/or Lender’s actions to exercise any remedy available under the Business Financing Agreement or otherwise.

4.             CONTINUING VALIDITY. Borrower understands and agrees that in modifying the existing Indebtedness, Lender is relying upon Borrower’s representations, warranties, and agreements, as set forth in the Loan Documents. In addition, Borrower represents, warrants and covenants that since the date of the Business Financing Agreement or the last modification, consent or waiver to the Business Financing Agreement, if any, none of Borrower’s officers authorized to sign this Modification have changed. Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Modification, the terms of the Loan Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Lender’s agreement to modifications to the existing Indebtedness pursuant to this Modification in no way shall obligate Lender to make any future modifications to the Indebtedness. Nothing in this Modification 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 Loan Documents, unless the party is expressly released by Lender in writing. No maker, endorser, or guarantor will be released by virtue of this Modification. The terms of this paragraph apply not only to this Modification, but also to any subsequent modification agreements.

5.            EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS MODIFICATION. This Modification, and the waivers provided for herein, shall become effective upon the satisfaction, as determined by Lender, of the following conditions.

(a)                  Modification. Lender shall have received this Modification fully executed in a sufficient number of counterparts for distribution to all parties.

(b)                  Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties set forth herein and in the Business Financing Agreement must be true and correct.

6.            CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER; REFERENCE PROVISION. This Modification constitutes a “Loan Document” as defined and set forth in the Business Financing Agreement, and is subject to Sections 13 and 14 of the Business Financing Agreement, which are incorporated by reference herein.

7.              Notice of Final Agreement. By signing this document each party represents and agrees that: (a)  this written agreement represents the final agreement between the parties, (b) there are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties, and (c) this written agreement may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or understandings of the parties.

8.             COUNTERPARTS; FACSIMILE SIGNATURES. This Modification may be executed in any number of and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, all of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same agreement. Any signature delivered by a party by facsimile or other similar form of electronic transmission shall be deemed to be an original signature hereto.

9.             CONSISTENT CHANGES. The Loan Documents are each hereby amended wherever and to the extent necessary to reflect the changes described above.

10.           RATIFICATION. Borrower hereby restates, ratifies and reaffirms each and every term and condition set forth in the Business Financing Agreement, as amended hereby, and the other Loan Documents effective as of the date hereof.

11.          INTEGRATION. This Modification, together with the Business Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents, incorporates all negotiations of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and is the final expression and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.
