7. The AR Financing Agreement shall be amended by inserting immediately after Section 6.4(H) thereof, the following new Section 6.4(I):

“(I) Assign, lease, transfer, sell or grant, or permit any lien or security interest (“Transfers”) in Borrower’s Intellectual Property, or enter into an agreement with any Person other than Bank which restricts the subsequent granting of a security interest in Borrower’s Intellectual Property to the Bank, except for Transfers of Borrower’s Intellectual Property in the ordinary course of business.”

8. NO DEFENSES OF BORROWER. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that Borrower has no offsets, defenses, claims, or counterclaims against Bank with respect to the Obligations, or otherwise, and that if Borrower now has, or ever did have, any offsets, defenses, claims, or counterclaims against Bank, whether known or unknown, at law or in equity, all of them are hereby expressly WAIVED and Borrower hereby RELEASES Bank from any liability thereunder.

9. CONTINUING VALIDITY. Borrower understands and agrees that in modifying the existing Obligations, Bank is relying upon Borrower’s representations, warranties, and agreements, as set forth in the Existing Loan Documents. Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Fourth Amendment, the terms of the Existing Loan Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Bank’s agreement to modifications to the existing Obligations pursuant to this Fourth Amendment in no way shall obligate Bank to make any future modifications to the Obligations. Nothing in this Fourth Amendment shall constitute a satisfaction of the Obligations. It is the intention of Bank and Borrower to retain as liable parties all makers of Existing Loan Documents, unless the party is expressly released by Bank in writing. No maker will be released by virtue of this Fourth Amendment.

10. COUNTERSIGNATURE. This Fourth Amendment shall become effective only when it shall have been executed by Borrower and Bank.
