WHEREAS, the Loan Parties have requested that the Agent and the Required Lenders waive any Event of Default that would otherwise arise (i) under Section 5.03(h) of the Financing Agreement as a result of the Loan Parties’ failure to timely deliver evidence to the Agent that Metaminds has become a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Parent and has been joined as a Loan Party pursuant to Section 7.01(b) of the Financing Agreement (the “Metaminds Event of Default”), (ii) under Section 7.01(b) of the Financing Agreement as a result of the Loan Parties permitting Unadjusted EBITDA of the Parent and its Subsidiaries to be less than $4,500,000 for the 1 Fiscal Quarter ending March 31, 2022 (the “Unadjusted EBITDA Event of Default”), and (iii) under Section 6(d) of Amendment No. 5 as a result of the Loan Parties’ failure to deliver to the Agent an estoppel letter, “no-interest” letter or subordination agreement in respect of registration number 20180518 1931 1531 6182 filed with respect to Leto Travel Service Inc. under the Personal Property Security Act (Ontario) (the “Security Interest Event of Default”; and collectively with the Metaminds Event of Default and the Unadjusted EBITDA Event of Default, the “Waived Defaults”).

- 4 -

of Financing Agreement, or the obligations of the Loan Parties under any Loan Document to which they are a party, all of which obligations shall remain in full force and effect (in each case, as amended or otherwise modified by this Amendment). Except as expressly provided herein, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Agent or any Lender under the Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document.

7. No Novation. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the Obligations outstanding under the Financing Agreement or instruments securing the same, which shall remain in full force and effect, except as modified hereby.

8. No Representations by Agent or Lenders. Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges that it has not relied on any representation, written or oral, express or implied, by the Agent or any Lender, other than those expressly contained herein, in entering into this Amendment.

9. Release.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent and the Lenders wish (and the Loan Parties agree) to eliminate any possibility that any past conditions, acts, omissions, events or circumstances would impair or otherwise adversely affect any of their rights, interests, security and/or remedies. Accordingly, for and in consideration of the agreements contained in this Amendment and other good and valuable consideration, each Loan Party (for itself and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and the successors, assigns, heirs and representatives of each of the foregoing) (collectively, the “Releasors”) does hereby fully, finally, unconditionally and irrevocably release, waive and forever discharge the Agent and the Lenders, together with their respective Affiliates and Related Funds, and each of the directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and consultants of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Released Parties”), from any and all debts, claims, allegations, obligations, damages, costs, attorneys' fees, suits, demands, liabilities, actions, proceedings and causes of action, in each case, whether known or unknown, contingent or fixed, direct or indirect, and of whatever nature or description, and whether in law or in equity, under contract, tort, statute or otherwise, which any Releasor has heretofore had or now or hereafter can, shall or may have against any Released Party by reason of any act, omission or thing whatsoever done or omitted to be done, in each case, on or prior to the Amendment No. 6 Effective Date directly arising out of, connected with or related to this Amendment, the Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, or the agreements of the Agent or any Lender contained therein, or the possession, use, operation or control of any of the assets of any Loan Party, or the making of any Loans or other advances, or the management of such Loans or other advances or the Collateral (it being understood and agreed that nothing contained herein shall release any Released Party from its continuing obligations and agreements specifically set forth in this Agreement, the Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be performed on or after the Amendment No. 6 Effective Date).

- 5 -

of any facts or acts or omissions of any Released Party which on the date hereof would be the basis of a claim by any Releasor against any Released Party which would not be released hereby.

10. Miscellaneous.

(a) This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by facsimile or electronic mail shall be equally effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Amendment.

(b) Section and paragraph headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Amendment for any other purpose.

(d) Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that this Amendment constitutes a “Loan Document” under the Financing Agreement.

(e) Any provision of this Amendment that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(f) This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Loan Party and the Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that none of the Loan Parties may assign or transfer any of its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and any such assignment without the Lenders' prior written consent shall be null and void.
