2.    NO DEFENSES OF BORROWER/GENERAL RELEASE. Each Borrower agrees that, as of this date, it has no defenses against the obligations to pay any amounts under the Indebtedness. Each Borrower acknowledges that Bank would not enter into this Modification without Xxxxxxxx’s assurance that it has no claims against Bank or any of Bank’s officers, directors, employees or agents. Except for any claims or obligations arising after the date of this Modification, each Borrower releases Bank, and each of Bank’s officers, directors and employees from any known or unknown claims that such Borrower now has against Bank of any nature, including any claims that such Borrower, its successors, counsel, and advisors may in the future discover they would have now had if they had known facts not now known to them, whether founded in contract, in tort or pursuant to any other theory of liability, including but not limited to any claims arising out of or related to the Loan Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that they have been informed by their attorneys and advisors of, and are familiar with, and do hereby expressly waive, the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, and any similar statute, code, law, or regulation of any state or the United States, to the full extent that they may waive such rights and benefits. Civil Code section 1542 provides:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR OR A BORROWER DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.

The provisions, waivers and releases set forth in this section are binding upon each Borrower and its shareholders, agents, employees, assigns and successors in interest. The provisions, waivers and releases of this section shall inure to the benefit of Bank and its agents, employees, officers, directors, assigns and successors in interest. The provisions of this section shall survive payment in full of the Obligations, full performance of all the terms of this Modification and the Loan Agreement, and/or Bank’s actions to exercise any remedy available under the Loan Agreement or otherwise.

3.    CONTINUING VALIDITY. Borrowers understand and agree that in modifying the existing Indebtedness, Bank is relying upon Borrowers’ representations and warranties set forth in this Modification and the reaffirmation of Borrowers’ performance obligations under the Loan Documents, subject to the modifications set forth herein. Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Modification, the terms of the Loan Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Bank’s agreement to modifications to the existing Indebtedness pursuant to this Modification in no way shall obligate Bank to make any future modifications to the Indebtedness. Nothing in this Modification shall constitute a satisfaction of the Indebtedness. It is the intention of Bank and Borrowers to retain as liable parties all makers and endorsers of Loan Documents, unless the party is expressly released by Bank in writing. No maker, endorser, or guarantor will be released by virtue of this Modification. The terms of this paragraph apply not only to this Modification, but also to any subsequent modification agreements.

4.    AMENDMENT FEE. In consideration of the agreements set forth herein, Borrowers hereby agree to pay to Bank an amendment fee in the amount of $50,000 (the “Amendment Fee”), which Amendment Fee shall be fully earned as of the date of this Modification and due and payable on the earlier of (i) the Term Loan Maturity Date and (ii) the date on which Borrowers repay in full all Obligations due to Bank under the Loan Agreement.

5.   EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS MODIFICATION. This Modification, and the waivers provided for herein, shall become effective upon the satisfaction, as determined by Bank, of the following conditions.

(a)    Modification. Bank shall have received this Modification fully executed in a sufficient number of counterparts for distribution to all parties.

6.    CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER; REFERENCE PROVISION. This Modification constitutes a “Loan Document” as defined and set forth in the Loan Agreement, and is subject to Sections 11 and 12 of the Loan Agreement, which are incorporated by reference herein.

7.    NOTICE OF FINAL AGREEMENT. By signing this document each party represents and agrees that: (A) this written agreement represents the final agreement between the parties, (B) there are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties, and (C) this written agreement may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or understandings of the parties.

8.    COUNTERPARTS; FACSIMILE SIGNATURES. This Modification may be executed in any number of and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, all of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same agreement. Any signature delivered by a party by facsimile or other similar form of electronic transmission shall be deemed to be an original signature hereto.

9.    RATIFICATION. Borrowers hereby covenant and agree to comply with each and every term and condition set forth in the Loan Agreement, as amended hereby, and the other Loan Documents effective as of the date hereof, and hereby reaffirm their various obligations thereunder.
