1.Subject to the fulfillment of the conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Modification which are set forth below, as of Effective Date, the Note is hereby amended to reflect that beginning May 1, 2020 and continuing through October 1, 2020 ("Deferment Period"), the principal and interest payments are hereby deferred. Borrower will not be required to make payments during the Deferment Period. Although no payments are payable during the Deferment Period, interest shall continue to accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the Note during the Deferment Period in accordance with the terms of the Note. The payments deferred or reduced during the Deferment Period remain the obligation of the Borrower and shall be amortized over the remaining term of the Note.

2.Beginning with the payment due on November 1, 2020 ("First Payment Date"), and continuing on the same day of every month thereafter through and including July 27, 2036 (the "Maturity Date"), Borrower shall re-commence consecutive monthly payments of principal, interest, and other amounts owed under the Note, with such monthly payment amount to be calculated based on the interest rate in effect as of the First Payment Date so as to fully amortize the outstanding principal balance under the Note over the remaining term of the Note, without any change to the Maturity Date thereof. The foregoing payment amount shall also be subject to further adjustments in accordance with the terms of the Note, including, but not limited to, any adjustment to the interest rate and maintenance of amortization period. The entire outstanding principal balance of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest accrued thereon, and all other sums due to Lender under the Note shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

3.Guarantors hereby expressly acknowledge and affirm such Guarantors' joint and several liability under their respective Guarantees and further acknowledge and affirm that the Guarantees shall continue to apply to the full amount of the Loan and Note, as amended hereby. Consent by Lender to this Modification does not waive Lender's right to require strict performance of the Note as changed above nor obligate Lender to make any future modifications. Nothing in this Modification shall constitute a satisfaction of the Note or other credit agreement securing the Note or any Loan Document. It is the intention of Lender to retain as liable all parties to the Loan Documents and all parties, makers, and endorsers to the Note, including accommodation parties, unless a party is expressly released by Lender in writing. Any maker or endorser, including accommodation makers, shall not be released by virtue of this Modification.

4.Unless otherwise expressly modified above, nothing herein shall be deemed to change the Maturity Date under the Note as in effect as of the Effective Date. Borrower confirms and agrees that all Loan Documents and any representations, warranties and conditions contained in said Loan Documents continue to be true and correct, and Borrower hereby ratifies such Loan Documents, and restates that all such Loan Documents shall continue to secure, evidence, and apply to the Note as modified by this Modification.

5.Except as expressly set forth herein, all other terms and conditions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect, and remain legally valid, binding, and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.
