AMENDMENT TO JUDGMENT SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.1
AMENDMENT TO JUDGMENT SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
This Amendment to Judgment Settlement Agreement (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of February 5, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Xxxx X. Xxxx, an individual (“Lender”), and MPhase Technologies, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“Borrower”). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment without definition shall have the meanings given to them in the Settlement Agreement (as defined below).
A. Borrower previously sold and issued to St. Xxxxxx Investments LLC, a Utah limited liability company (formerly known as St Xxxxxx Investments LLC, an Illinois limited liability company) (“SGI”), that certain Convertible Note dated September 13, 2011 in the original principal amount of $357,500.00 (subject to an increase to up to $557,500 upon the occurrence of certain events) (the “Note”) pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated September 13, 2011 by and between SGI and Borrower (the “Purchase Agreement,” and together with the Note and all other documents entered into in conjunction therewith, the “Transaction Documents”).
B. Effective as of October 17, 0000, XXX assigned the Note and its rights under all other Transaction Documents to Lender pursuant to a certain Assignment of Convertible Note (the “Assignment”).
C. Following the Assignment, Lender and Borrower entered into a certain Standstill and Restructuring Agreement (the “Standstill Agreement”) pursuant to which Lender agreed to not convert a certain portion of the outstanding balance of the Note into shares of Borrower’s Common Stock in exchange for certain payments from Borrower.
D. Borrower did not make such payments and Lender ultimately filed a lawsuit against Borrower in the Eastern Division of the Northern District of Illinois in the United States District Court, Case No. 12-cv-9647 (the “Lawsuit”).
E. On December 15, 2014, Lender was granted summary judgment in the Lawsuit and on January 28, 2015 a judgment was entered against Borrower (the “Judgment”).
F. Lender agreed to refrain and temporarily forbear from exercising and enforcing certain remedies against Borrower with respect to the Judgment and to settle the Judgment pursuant to the terms and conditions of a certain Judgment Settlement Agreement dated December 10, 2018 entered into between Lender and Borrower (as amended, the “Settlement Agreement”).
G. Borrower has requested that Lender alter the terms of the payment schedule set forth in the Settlement Agreement (the “Revised Payment Schedule”).
H. Lender has agreed, subject to the terms, amendments, conditions and understandings expressed in this Amendment, to amend the Settlement Agreement to reflect the Revised Payment Schedule.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Recitals. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the recitals set forth above in this Amendment are true and accurate and are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Amendment.
2. Revised Payment Schedule. Section 3 of the Settlement Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“Settlement Payments. Borrower and Lender agree that Borrower may satisfy the Judgment in full by making cash payments (the aggregate of the cash payments payable to Lender under this Section 3 that are necessary to satisfy the Judgment, the “Settlement Amount”) to Lender in an amount equal to either (a) $270,000.00, provided such amount is received by Lender on or before February 15, 2019, or (b) (i) $375,000.00, which amount, if Borrower elects this option, shall be payable as follows: (1) Borrower shall make a payment to Lender in the amount of $15,000.00 on or before February 15, 2019, and (2) Borrower shall continue making payments of $15,000.00 each month (each, an “Installment Payment”), with the first such Installment Payment being due and payable on March 15, 2019 and with each additional Installment Payment being due and payable to Lender on or before the same day of each month thereafter until February 15, 2020, when Borrower shall pay to Lender the entire unpaid portion of the Settlement Amount (which would be equal to $195,000.00 if Borrower elects this option and pays each required Installment Payment prior to such date). Each payment made pursuant to this Section 3 shall be made by Borrower to Lender via wire transfer of immediately available funds.”
3. Representations and Warranties. In order to induce Lender to enter into this Amendment, Borrower, for itself, and for its affiliates, successors and assigns, hereby acknowledges, represents, warrants and agrees as follows:

(b) There is no fact known to Borrower or which should be known to Borrower which Borrower has not disclosed to Lender on or prior to the Effective Date which would or could materially and adversely affect the understanding of Lender expressed in this Amendment or any representation, warranty, or recital contained in this Amendment.
(c) Except as expressly set forth in this Amendment, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that neither the execution and delivery of this Amendment nor any of the terms, provisions, covenants, or agreements contained in this Amendment shall in any manner release, impair, lessen, modify, waive, or otherwise affect the liability and obligations of Borrower under the terms of the Settlement Agreement.
(d) Borrower has no defenses, affirmative or otherwise, rights of setoff, rights of recoupment, claims, counterclaims, actions or causes of action of any kind or nature whatsoever against Lender, directly or indirectly, arising out of, based upon, or in any manner connected with, the transactions contemplated hereby, whether known or unknown, which occurred, existed, was taken, permitted, or begun prior to the execution of this Amendment and occurred, existed, was taken, permitted or begun in accordance with, pursuant to, or by virtue of any of the terms or conditions of the Settlement Agreement.

(e) Borrower represents and warrants that as of the Effective Date, no breaches exist under the Settlement Agreement or have occurred prior to the Effective Date.
4. Certain Acknowledgments. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that no property or cash consideration of any kind whatsoever has been or shall be given by Lender to Borrower in connection with any amendment to the Settlement Agreement granted herein.
5. Other Terms Unchanged.

Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of, or as an amendment to, any right, power, or remedy of Lender under the Settlement Agreement, as in effect prior to the Effective Date. To avoid all doubt, this Amendment shall be governed by the miscellaneous provisions set forth in Sections 8 through 18 of the Settlement Agreement.
6. No Reliance.

8. Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Amendment and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
