Exhibit 10.4


 


THIRD MODIFICATION OF CONVERTIBLE LOAN AGREEMENT







This Third Modification of Convertible Loan Agreement (this “Third Modification”) made and executed as of September 28, 2012, by and between:







X-FACTOR COMMUNICATIONS, LLC located at 3 Empire Boulevard, South Hackensack, New Jersey 07606 (“Borrower”) and







NEW JERSEY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY, a body corporate and politic constituting an instrumentality of the State of New Jersey (the “Authority”).







Background







The Authority and the Borrower entered into a Convertible Loan Agreement dated July 31, 2009 (the “Original Loan Agreement”) pursuant to which the Authority loaned Borrower the sum of $500,000 (the “Loan”).  The Loan is evidenced by a Secured Convertible Promissory Note of the same date (the “Original Note”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.







WHEREAS, in December 2010, the Borrower requested and the Authority agreed to grant a 6-month interest-only payment period on the Original Note commencing on December 1, 2010 and ending on May 1, 2011, which is evidenced by a First Modification of Convertible Loan Agreement dated January 19, 2011 (“First Modification”).







WHEREAS, in order to provide continued payment relief to the Borrower and to allow the Borrower to conserve its cash until bridge financing and receivables from the Cisco contract were collected, the Borrower requested and, at a meeting on August 16, 2011, the members of the Authority approved the second 6-month interest only payment period on the Original Note retroactively commencing on June 1, 2011 and ending on November 1, 2011, which is evidenced by a Second Modification of Convertible Loan Agreement dated September 14, 2011 (“Second Modification”).  In exchange for such consent, the Authority filed a UCC Financing Statement and United States Patent and Trademark Office liens on intellectual property of Borrower.







WHEREAS, in order to allow time for the Borrower to change its corporate structure by becoming a subsidiary of a shell holding company, X-Factor Communications Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), Borrower requested and the Authority agreed to restructure repayment of the Original Note, retroactively, beginning January 1, 2012 to allow a three month deferral of principal payments until April 1, 2012 with regular monthly payments of principal plus interest resuming on May 1, 2012. In exchange for such consideration, (i) the Borrower made a one-time lump sum payment on April 1, 2012 towards principal due under the Original Note, as amended, in the amount of $56,818.20 (representing four months principal at $14,204.55 per month); and (ii) Borrower agreed to amend the existing Warrant No. 1, dated July 31, 2009 issued by Borrower to Authority to provide for the purchase of 160,414 shares of common stock of Holdings at a strike price of $0.78 per share; and (iii) Holdings issued to Authority additional warrants to purchase 148,942 shares of common stock of Holdings at a strike price of $0.78 per share; and (iv) Authority filed a UCC Financing Statement lien on all assets and all intellectual property of Holdings, including but not limited to all of the membership interests of Borrower owned by Holdings.
