4.           PAYMENT OF COMMITMENT FEE. Borrower shall pay Bank a fee in the amount of $6,000 (the “Commitment Fee”) plus all out-of-pocket expenses.

5.           NO DEFENSES OF BORROWER/GENERAL RELEASE.  Borrower agrees that, as of this date, it has no defenses against the obligations to pay any amounts under the Indebtedness.  Each of Borrower and Guarantor (each, a “Releasing Party”) acknowledges that Lender would not enter into this Loan and Security Modification Agreement without Releasing Party’s assurance that it has no claims against Bank or any of Bank’s officers, directors, employees or agents.  Except for the obligations arising hereafter under this Loan and Security Modification Agreement, each Releasing Party releases Bank, and each of Bank’s and entity’s officers, directors and employees from any known or unknown claims that Releasing Party now has against Bank of any nature, including any claims that Releasing Party, 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 Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby.  Releasing Party waives the provisions of California Civil Code section 1542, which states:

“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”
 
The provisions, waivers and releases set forth in this section are binding upon each Releasing Party 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 Loan and Security Modification Agreement and the Agreement, and/or Bank’s actions to exercise any remedy available under the Agreement or otherwise.

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

7.           CONDITIONS.  The effectiveness of this Loan and Security Modification Agreement is conditioned upon payment of the Commitment Fee.

8.           COUNTERSIGNATURE.  This Loan and Security Modification Agreement shall become effective only when executed by Bank and Borrowers.
