(“Lender”), with reference to (1) that certain Secured Promissory Note, dated
September 5, 2019, in the amount of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($1,500,000.00) made by Maker in favor of Lender (the “2019 Note”) and (2) that
certain Secured Promissory Note, dated February 13, 2020, in the amount of One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) made by Maker in favor of Lender (the “2020
Note,” and, together with the 2019 Note, the “Notes”).  Undefined terms herein
have the same definitions set forth in the Note.

 

By this Amendment, Maker and Lender have agreed to amend the Notes on the
following terms:

 

1.

New Maturity Date.  The Maturity Dates of the Notes are hereby extended, such
that the Maturity Dates shall now be September 5, 2021, or any earlier date on
which the unpaid principal balance of the Notes becomes due and payable by
acceleration or otherwise. All remaining principal amounts under the Notes,
together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts payable
thereunder, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Dates.

2.

Notes Remain Secured.  The 2019 Note shall continue to remain secured by the
Security Agreement, dated September 5, 2019, by and between Maker, the
subsidiaries of Maker and the Secured Party (as defined therein), as
amended.  The 2020 Note shall continue to remain secured by the Security
Agreement, dated February 13, 2020, by and between Maker, the subsidiaries of
Maker and the Secured Party (as defined therein). Except for the terms and
provisions of this Amendment, which shall control over any inconsistent
provisions in the Notes, the Notes shall remain in full force and effect.

3.

Effect; Continuing Validity.  The Notes are amended to the extent necessary to
give effect to this Agreement, and the terms of this Agreement shall supersede
any contrary terms in the Loan Documents.  Each reference to the “Note” in the
Notes the shall be deemed to refer to the respective Notes as modified by this
Agreement. Except as specifically set forth herein, the terms and conditions of
the Notes shall remain unmodified and are hereby ratified by the parties. Maker
acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement, all terms, conditions and provisions of the Notes shall continue in
full force and effect, and remain unaffected and unchanged. This Agreement in no
way acts as a release or relinquishment of, and in no way affects, the liens,
security interests and rights created by or arising under the Notes, or the
priority thereof. Such liens, security interests and rights are hereby ratified,
confirmed, renewed and extended in all respects. The Notes, any other security
for payment of the Notes, and all rights, remedies, titles, liens and equities
securing the Notes as hereby modified and the indebtedness represented thereby
are hereby recognized, renewed, extended and continued in full force and effect
for the benefit of the holder of the Notes and the indebtedness evidenced
thereby.

when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts, taken
