RECITALS 

 

A.                Pursuant to the terms of a Commercial Loan Agreement ("Loan Agreement") between  Bank  and  Borrower  dated  as  of  May  10,  2011,  Bank  agreed  to  make  a  revolving  Line  of Credit available to Borrower.

C.                 Borrower's  obligations  under  the  Note and Loan Agreement were originally secured, among  other  things,  by  the  following: 

 

1.                  A Security Agreement, dated the same date as the Loan Agreement, executed by  Borrower  in  favor  of  Bank  granting  Bank  a  security  interest  in  Borrower’s  personal property (“Security  Agreement”).  The  security  interest  was  perfected  through  a  UCC-1 Financing Statement filed with the Delaware Secretary of State.

 

D.                    Borrower  has  requested  additional  time to repay  the  indebtedness  owing  under the Note.  Bank  is  agreeable  to  the  terms  set  forth  below. 

 

E.                 On  January  2,  2013,  ICON  Capital  Corp., a Delaware  corporation,  converted  to ICON Capital,  LLC,  a  Delaware  limited  liability  company,  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  Section 18-214 of  the  Delaware  Limited  Liability  Company  Act.

9.                  No Impairment/Security.  Except  as  otherwise  specifically  set  forth  herein,  the Loan Documents  shall  each  remain  unaffected  by  this Modification and all such documents shall remain in full force and effect.  Borrower’s payment and performance of Borrower’s various obligations to  Bank  under  the  Loan  Documents,  including  all  extensions,  amendments,  renewals or replacements  thereof,  continue  to  be  and  shall  be  secured  by  the  liens  arising  under  the  Loan Documents.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of any of the rights and remedies that Bank may have against Borrower, or  of  any  of  Bank’s  rights  and  remedies  arising out of the Loan Documents. 

 

10.              Purpose  and  Effect  of  Bank’s  Approval.  Bank’s  approval  of  any  matter  in connection with  the  Loan  Documents  shall  be  for  the sole purpose of protecting Bank’s security, rights, and  remedies  under  the  Loan Documents.  No  such  approval shall result  in  a  waiver  of any default  of  Borrower.  In  no  event  shall  Bank’s approval be a representation  of  any  kind  by Bank with  regard  to  the  matter  being  approved. 

 

11.              Counterparts.  This Modification may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, and by the  different  parties  on  separate  counterparts each of which, when so  executed,  shall  be  deemed  an  original,  but  all  such  counterparts  shall  constitute  but  one and the same agreement. 

12.              Invalidity.  If any court of competent jurisdiction  determines  any  provision  of  this Modification or any of the Loan Documents to be invalid,  illegal  or  unenforceable,  that  portion shall be deemed severed from the rest, which shall remain in full force and effect as though the invalid, illegal or unenforceable portion had never been a part of this Modification or the Loan Documents. 

 

 

13.              Successors  and  Assigns.  This  Modification  shall  be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their  respective  successors  and  assigns.

16.              Entire Agreement.  This Modification and the Loan  Documents  constitute  the entire, complete  and  exclusive  understanding  between  the  parties  regarding the Loan and may not be modified, amended, or terminated except by  a  written  agreement  signed  by  the  party against whom enforcement is sought. No modification, change or supplement of the Loan Documents and this Modification shall be binding on Bank unless in writing signed by an authorized officer of Bank.  No waiver of or any  acquiescence  to  any  Event  of  Default  or  any failure or  delay  by  Bank  in  enforcing  any  right  or  remedy  shall  be  construed  to  be  a  waiver, acquiescence,  or  consent  to  any  preceding  or  subsequent  Event  of  Default  or  a  waiver  of  any right or remedy. 

 

17.              Documentation.  In addition to the instruments and documents mentioned or referred to  herein,  Borrower  will,  at  Borrower’s  own  cost  and  expense,  supply  Bank  with  such other instruments,  documents,  information  and  data  as  are  reasonably  necessary for the purposes hereof, all of which shall be in form and  content  as  reasonably  required  by  Bank.
