Borrower hereby certifies that: (a) all of its representations and warranties in the Note are  true and correct as of the date of this Amendment; (b) no Event of Default or event which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default, exists under the Note, except as disclosed to Lender; and (c) this Amendment has been executed and delivered so that it constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

4.           This Amendment is a continuation of the Note and shall not be construed as a novation or extinguishment of the obligations arising under the Note as originally issued, and the issuance of this Amendment shall not affect the priority of any security interest granted in connection with the Note.  The execution of this Amendment shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any default or Event of Default.







5.           Borrower hereby confirms that the collateral for the Note, including but not limited to the Security Agreement from HEALTHWAREHOUSE.COM, INC., HWAREH.COM, INC and HOCKS.COM, INC. dated March 28, 2013, covering all business assets, including but not limited to accounts, inventory, equipment and general intangibles and (ii) Deposit Account Control Agreement dated August 18, 2014 between Borrower, Lender and BB&T Corporation (formerly known as The Bank of Kentucky, Inc.) with respect to Borrower’s deposit accounts (the “Collateral”), shall continue unimpaired and in full force and effect.

8.           Except as expressly modified hereby, the Note remains unaltered and in full force and effect.  This Amendment shall be considered an integral part of the Note, and all references to the Note in the Note itself or any other loan documents shall, on and after the date of this Amendment, be deemed to be references to the Note as amended by this Amendment. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made no oral representations to Borrower with respect to the Note and this Amendment thereto and that all prior understandings between the parties are merged into the Note as amended by this Amendment.







9.           WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.    BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY MATTERS ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE.

10.           CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT.  Borrower authorizes any attorney to appear in any court of record in or of the State of Ohio, after this Note becomes due and payable, whether by its terms or upon default, to waive service of process and enter judgment by confession against Borrower in favor of Lender or any holder hereof for the outstanding principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on this Note, plus all costs of collection, including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees, and thereby to waive and release all errors in the proceedings and judgment, and all rights of appeal from such judgment and stay of execution.  Stay of execution and all exemptions are hereby waived.  Borrower also agrees that the attorney acting for Borrower as set forth in this paragraph may be compensated by Lender for such services, and Borrower waives any conflict of interest caused by such representation and compensation arrangement.  If an obligation is referred to an attorney for collection, and the payment is obtained without the entry of a judgment, the obligors will pay to Lender its attorneys' fees.







WARNING - BY SIGNING THIS PAPER, YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO NOTICE AND COURT TRIAL.  IF YOU DO NOT PAY ON TIME, A COURT JUDGMENT MAY BE TAKEN AGAINST YOU WITHOUT YOUR PRIOR KNOWLEDGE AND THE POWERS OF A COURT CAN BE USED TO COLLECT FROM YOU REGARDLESS OF ANY CLAIMS YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST THE CREDITOR WHETHER FOR RETURNED GOODS, FAULTY GOODS, FAILURE ON HIS PART TO COMPLY WITH THE AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CAUSE.
