B.

The Company and the Lender agree that, as of the Effective Date, the Loans shall be consolidated into one loan evidenced by the Note. Upon receipt of such Note, the notes evidencing the preexisting Loans shall be deemed to have been cancelled. Lender agrees to execute and deliver such other documents and agreements as are reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the transactions hereunder.
2. Lender Representations. Lender represents, warrants and covenants as follows:
(a) Lender has the requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to receive the Note hereunder, and to carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement, and Lender has not assigned, transferred or otherwise encumbered in any way whatsoever the Loans (or any portion thereof) or any documents related thereto.
(b) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Lender, and, upon due execution and delivery by the Company, this Agreement will be the valid and binding obligation of the Lender.
(c) The Lender is receiving the Note for Lender’s own account for investment only, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution of the Note in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any rule or regulation under the Securities Act.
