WHEREAS, the parties desire to modify the Loan Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6 (including the Financing Condition, as defined below);
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Agreement
1. EFFECTIVENESS. Notwithstanding the execution and delivery of this Second Modification by the parties as of the Second Modification Date, the modifications, agreements and terms of this Second Modification shall not be become effective until, but shall automatically become effective upon and as of the date the conditions set forth in Section 6 hereof are satisfied by Borrower (the “Second Modification Effective Date”).
2. DESCRIPTION OF COLLATERAL. Repayment of the Obligations is secured by the Collateral, as described in the Loan Agreement, in that certain Intellectual Property Security Agreement and related Collateral Agreements and Notices of even date with the Loan Agreement (the “IPSA”) and the other Loan Documents entered into on the dates of the Loan Agreement and the Loan Agreement. The above-described security documents, together with all other documents securing and/or perfecting security interests in the repayment of the Obligations, shall be referred to herein as the “Security Documents”. Hereinafter, the Security Documents, together with all other documents evidencing or securing the Obligations are referred to as the “Existing Loan Documents”.
3. DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES IN TERMS. Effective automatically upon the Modification Effective Date:
(a) The Loan – Repayment. The “Repayment” clause of Section 1 of the Schedule is amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows (quotation marks and formatting for convenience of reading only):
“ Repayment: Borrower shall pay interest only monthly on the principal amount of the Loan through April 30, 2019. Commencing on May 1, 2019, Borrower shall make monthly principal payments of $75,000 each (plus interest accrued during each prior month on outstanding principal) until the Maturity Date, on which date the entire unpaid principal balance of the Loan plus any and all accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid.”
(b) Maturity Date. Section 4 of the Schedule (Maturity Date) is amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows (quotation marks and formatting for convenience of reading only):
“4. Maturity Date
(Section 5.1): November 1, 2019.”
(b) Payment of Accrued Interest. On May 1, 2019, Borrower shall pay the Accrued Interest contemplated in Section 2 of the Schedule to the Loan Agreement, which the parties stipulate will be $197,979 as of such date, and the Loan Agreement shall be amended accordingly.
4. CONTINUING VALIDITY. Borrower understands and agrees that in conditionally modifying the existing Obligations, PFG is relying upon Borrower's representations, warranties and agreements as set forth in the Existing Loan Documents. Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Second Modification, the terms of the Existing Loan Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect. PFG's agreement to modify the existing Obligations in no way shall obligate PFG to give any future consents or waivers or make any future modifications to the Obligations. Nothing in this Second Modification shall constitute a satisfaction of the Obligations or a waiver of any Default or Event of Default under the Existing Loan Documents. It is the intention of PFG and Borrower to retain as liable parties all makers and endorsers, if any, of the Existing Loan Documents, unless the party is expressly released by PFG in writing. Unless expressly released herein, no maker, endorser, or guarantor will be released by virtue of this Second Modification. The terms of this paragraph apply not only to this Second Modification, but also to all subsequent loan modification agreements.
5. Borrowers’ Representations And Warranties. Borrower represents and warrants that:

(h) Borrower hereby ratifies, confirms and reaffirms, all and singular, the terms and disclosures contained in the Representations dated as of the Second Modification Date;
(i) as of the Second Modification Date, Borrower has not asserted any commercial tort claims against any Person and has no Knowledge of any basis for so doing; and
(j) Except as expressly stated in this Second Modification, neither PFG nor any agent, employee or representative of PFG has made any statement or representation to Borrower regarding any fact relied upon by Borrower in entering into this Second Modification, (ii) Borrower has made such investigation of the facts pertaining to this Second Modification and all of the matters appertaining thereto, as it deems necessary, and (iii) the terms of this Second Modification are contractual and not a mere recital.
Borrower understands and acknowledges that PFG is entering into this Second Modification in reliance upon, and in partial consideration for, the above representations and warranties, and agrees that such reliance is reasonable and appropriate.

Borrower acknowledges that it is not relying upon and has not relied upon any representation or statement made by PFG with respect to the facts underlying this release or with regard to any of such party’s rights or asserted rights.

12. ILLEGALITY OR UNENFORCEABILITY. Any determination that any provision or application of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, or in any instance, shall not affect the validity, legality, or enforceability of any such provision in any other instance, or the validity, legality, or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.
13. INTEGRATION; CONSTRUCTION; ETC. This Second Modification, the First Modification, the Loan Agreement and the Existing Loan Documents (as modified) and any documents executed in connection herewith or pursuant hereto contain the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, offers and negotiations, oral or written, with respect thereto and no extrinsic evidence whatsoever may be introduced in any judicial or arbitration proceeding, if any, involving this Second Modification; provided, however, that any financing statements or other agreements or instruments filed by PFG with respect to Borrower shall remain in full force and effect.
