WHEREAS, Blue-Red, Ibex and the Company have agreed to amend the CLA as set forth hereunder:

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1.The Amended Final Date (as defined in the Third Amendment) shall be amended such that it shall be extended for an additional twenty-four (24) months to 00:00 on July 31, 2025.

 

2.Section 2.2 of the Initial CLA shall be amended such that the following shall be added to the Section:

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as of August 1, 2023 (the “Additional Accrual Date”), the interest shall be amended to reflect a net interest rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, compounded on a yearly basis. However, in any event, and regardless of the due date of the interest as set forth in the Third Amendment, the total interest accrued from the Additional Accrual Date shall be no less than twenty-four percent (24%).

 

 

 

 

3.The calculation of the Interest up to the date hereof, and until the Amended Final Date as determined in Section 1 above, is attached as Annex A hereto.

 

4.Section 5 of the Initial CLA shall be deleted entirely and replaced by:

 

Unless earlier converted pursuant to Section 6 below, the Loan Amount shall be repaid by the Company to the Lender in cash, upon an Event of Default as defined in Section 7 below or at the Final Date upon written notice to the Company. All accrued and unpaid Interest shall be dealt with in accordance with Section 6.5 (as amended). No repayment of the Loan Amount by the Company shall be permitted, without the prior written consent of the Lender.

 

5.Section 3 of The Third Amendment shall be deleted in its entirety, and Section 6.1 of the Initial CLA shall be deleted entirely and replaced by:
