(c) After giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the terms of the Loan Documents; and

3.
Loan Agreement Amendments. The Loan Agreement is hereby amended as follows:


 


	 	(a)	Liquidated
    Damages. Section 3.7 of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:


 


“3.7.
Liquidated Damages. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower shall have the right (a) prior to July
31, 2020 to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Purchased Inventory Sublimit in whole or in part, or (b) prior to July
31, 2020 to prepay in full the entire outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon,
all fees, costs, expenses and other amounts payable to Lender in connection with the Revolving Credit, and all other Obligations
payable to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrower’s election to prepay the Purchased Inventory
Sublimit in whole or in part, or election to prepay the Obligations relating to the Revolving Credit in full shall be delivered
to Lender in writing (a “Principal Reduction Notice”) at least sixty (60) calendar days’ prior
to the date of such prepayment. A Principal Reduction Notice shall be irrevocable when delivered to Lender, and if all Obligations
relating to the Revolving Credit are finally and indefeasibly paid to Lender in connection with such Principal Reduction Notice,
the Revolving Credit shall be terminated and all obligations of Lender to extend credit to Borrower under the Revolving Credit
shall terminate.


 


If
(w) prior to July 31, 2020 Borrower prepays the principal amount of the Purchased Inventory Sublimit in whole or in part pursuant
to the foregoing paragraph (other than any payments made by Borrower in accordance with the Revolving Credit Sublimit Schedule
attached as Exhibit C hereto, which, for the avoidance of doubt, should not be considered to be a prepayment), or (x) prior
to July 31, 2020 Borrower prepays in full the entire outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit, all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, all fees, costs, expenses and other amounts payable to Lender in connection with the Revolving Credit, and all
other Obligations payable to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, or
(y) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and prior to July 31, 2020, either (I) Lender demands
repayment of the outstanding Obligations in whole or in part, or (II) repayment of the outstanding Obligations are otherwise accelerated
in whole or in part, then (z) at the time of such repayment, prepayment, demand or acceleration, and in addition to the principal
balance(s) of the Loan(s) being prepaid, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, all fees, costs, expenses and other amounts
payable to Lender in connection with the Loans, and all other Obligations paid to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents required to be paid at such time, Borrower shall pay liquidated damages to Lender in an amount equal to the product
of (i) and (ii) below:


 


(i)
(A) if prepayment, repayment, demand or acceleration of the Purchased Inventory Sublimit in whole or in part, the outstanding
principal amount of the Purchased Inventory Sublimit being prepaid, repaid or subject to demand or acceleration, (B) if prepayment,
repayment, demand or acceleration of the Revolving Credit, the Revolving Credit Limit;


 



    	 	 	Page 2 of 5



     


    

 


multiplied
by


 


(ii)
(A) two percent (2.00%) if such prepayment, repayment, demand or acceleration occurs on or prior to December 31, 2019, and (B)
one percent (1.00%) if such prepayment, repayment, demand or acceleration occurs after December 31, 2019.


 


Lender
and Borrower each hereby acknowledges and agrees that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain Lender’s
actual damages from early termination of the Purchased Inventory Sublimit and/or Revolving Credit, as applicable, and that the
above liquidated damages have been arrived at by mutual agreement of Lender and Borrower as to a reasonable calculation of Lender’s
lost profits as a result of early termination of the Purchased Inventory Sublimit and/or Revolving Credit, as applicable. Lender
and Borrower each further hereby acknowledges and agrees that the liquidated damages provided above are intended to be fair and
reasonable approximations of Lender’s actual damages from early termination of the Purchased Inventory Sublimit and/or Revolving
Credit, as applicable, are presumed to be the amount of damages sustained by Lender as a result of such early termination, are
reasonable under the circumstances currently existing, and that the liquidated damages are not intended to be penalties.


 


	 	(b)	Clause
    (b) of the definition of “Borrowing Base” is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:


 


(b)
the least of (i) fifty percent (50.0%) of the Value of Eligible Inventory at such time; provided, however, for purposes
of determining the Borrowing Base at any time in no event shall the Value of Eligible In-Transit Inventory at any time exceed
Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($250,000.00), (ii) eighty five percent (85.00%) of the net orderly liquidation
value of Eligible Inventory as determined by the most recent appraisal of Borrower’s Inventory conducted by Lender pursuant
to Section 3.5 of this Agreement; (iii) Eleven Million and 00/100 Dollars ($11,000,000.00), and (iv) sixty percent (60.0%)
of the Borrowing Capacity at such time, less;


 


	 	(c)	Revolving
    Credit Termination Date. Clause (a) of the definition of “Revolving Credit Termination Date” contained in
    the Definitions Schedule of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the reference to “July 31, 2019”
    contained therein, and by substituting therefor “July 31, 2020”.


 


4.
Reimbursement of Lender. As consideration for Lender’s extension of the Revolving Credit and amendment of the Loan
Agreement described above, and pursuant to Sections 3.4 and 10.10 of the Loan Agreement, Borrower shall (a) pay to Lender on the
date hereof a commitment fee for the extension of the Revolving Credit in the amount of Fifty Seven Thousand Five Hundred and
00/100 Dollars ($57,500.00), and (b) reimburse, indemnify and hold Lender harmless for the reasonable fees and costs and expenses
incurred by Lender for the services of legal professionals engaged by Lender in connection with the negotiation and preparation
of this Amendment. With respect to any amount required to be paid or reimbursed by Borrower pursuant to the foregoing provisions
of this paragraph 4, it is hereby agreed that Lender may charge any such amount to the Revolving Credit on the dates such payment
is due or such reimbursement is made. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that on and after the Effective Date of this Amendment
the Facility Fee shall be calculated based on the Revolving Credit Limit as amended by the terms hereof.

5.
Effective Date. This Amendment shall be effective as the Effective Date as defined in the first paragraph of this Amendment.


 


6.
Release. By executing this Amendment, each Borrower, individually and collectively, hereby absolutely and unconditionally
releases and forever discharges Lender, and any and all participants, co-lenders, parent entities, subsidiary entities, affiliates,
insurers, indemnitors, successors and assigns thereof, together with all of the present and former directors, officers, agents
and employees of any of the foregoing, from any and all claims, demands or causes of action of any kind, nature or description,
whether arising in law or in equity or upon contract or tort or under any state or federal law or otherwise, which such Borrower,
individually and/or collectively, has had, now has or has made claim to have against any such Person for or by reason of any act,
omission, matter, cause or thing whatsoever arising from the beginning of time to and include the Effective Date of this Amendment,
whether such claim, demand or cause of action is matured or unmatured or known or unknown.


 


7.
Specificity of Provisions. The amendments set forth herein are limited precisely as written and shall not be deemed to
(a) be a consent to or a waiver of any other term or condition of the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (b) prejudice
any right or rights which Lender may now have or may have in the future under or in connection with the Loan Agreement or any
other Loan Document. From and after the Effective Date of this Amendment, whenever the Loan Agreement is referred to in the Loan
Agreement or in any other Loan Document, it shall be deemed to mean the Loan Agreement as modified by this Amendment.


 


8.
Binding Effect of Loan Documents. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that upon giving effect to this Amendment, the
Loan Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note and each other Loan Document shall continue to be binding upon such Borrower and shall
continue in full force and effect.


 


9.
Choice of Law. This Amendment and the legal relations among the parties hereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of law principles.


 


10.
Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed by one or more the parties to this Amendment on any number of separate counterparts
and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
