1. The foregoing recitations are true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference.

Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Note.

 

2. Section 2 of the Note, entitled, Payments, shall be amended by deleting subsection (a) in its entirety and replace the same with the following:

 

“(a) The outstanding principal balance, accrued and unpaid interest, future interest payments, costs incurred in the collection and enforcing payments under the Note, and a late charge shall be paid by Makers to Lender as set forth on the schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Modified Payment Schedule”). In addition to the payments required under the Modified Payment Schedule, Makers may incur additional late charges or other fees and charges due to an Event of Default (“Default Amounts”). Makers agree to pay such Default Amount to Lender upon demand. All payments due hereunder shall be paid by wire transfer pursuant to the wire instructions attached hereto as Exhibit B.”

 

3. Section 4 of the Note, entitled, Default, shall be amended by adding the following after subsection (f), “or, (g) any breach, default, or non fulfilment of obligations by any Maker under (i) the Post-Closing Agreement dated November 8, 2023 among Makers and Lender (the “Post-Closing Agreement”), the Indemnification Agreement among Makers, Kathryn Boyd, and other parties thereto dated November 8, 2023, or (iii) the Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement dated January 4, 2023 among TLSS Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Makers, Lender, and other parties thereto, which was later assigned and amended by that First Amendment to Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement effective February 1, 2023 by and among Makers, Lender, and other parties thereto, and further modified by the Post-Closing Agreement (collectively, the “SPA”).

 

4. Section 5 of the Note, entitled, Late Charge, shall be amended by deleting “ten (10) days” and replacing the same with “five (5) days”.

 

5. Except as modified herein, all other terms and conditions of the Note shall remain in full force and effect. The Note, as amended by this First Amendment, shall continue to be secured and guaranteed by the Security Agreement, the corporate guaranty provided by Makers’ affiliate, all liens securing Lender’s rights under the Note, and all other rights of Lender under law or contract.
