3.1—METHOD OF PAYMENT:

 
(b)  Upon execution by the Parties
of the Third Amendment to this Agreement, MCC shall deliver to Republic Thirty-five Thousand Dollars ($35,000) in cash, by wire transfer, which $35,000.00 shall be non-refundable; and

Note”) in the amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “H”, payable to Republic. Notwithstanding the promise to deliver the $500,000 Promissory Note set forth above, Republic agrees to
accept, in lieu of payment in full of the Promissory Note, a cash payment of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) (the “Cash Payment”), in full and complete satisfaction and payment for the Promissory Note, provided that the Cash
Payment is received by Republic by wire transfer on or before the earlier to occur of either of the following events: (i) one (1) year from the date of the Closing of the Merger; or (ii) within five (5) days of Polar receiving aggregate purchase
orders representing $10,000,000 in revenues, which revenues shall be reported in its quarterly SEC Form 10

4.5 Republic represents and warrants that, as of the Closing of the Merger, it has or shall have in its possession those original
Collateral Notes, or lost Note Affidavit(s), signed by the Borrowers identified on Exhibit “A” hereto. That it has not sold, assigned, or transferred any right or interest it has, or may have, in the Collateral Notes, or in the default
judgment set forth in Exhibit “C” hereto, to any other person or entity. Republic further represents and warrants that barring any breach of this Agreement by MCC, Republic shall not bring any legal cause of action seeking to enforce or
collect on the Collateral Notes against MCC with respect to any of the Collateral Notes, attached hereto as Exhibit “A”. Republic’s representation herein does not include any legal cause of action that Republic may have against any
individuals in connection with any of the Collateral or other Notes.

agree that if the merger agreement between MCC and Polar fails to Close prior to October 31, 2003, this Agreement is null and void, except that all payments delivered to Republic prior to the Closing date, and all expenses paid to Republic pursuant
to Section 7.3 of this Agreement, shall not 
 

4

4. The Parties agree that this Third Amendment complies with Paragraph 7.2 of the Agreement, attached hereto
