WHEREAS, MBL, MFUSA and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Parties”) desire to amend the Agreement to decrease the amount of the Guaranty.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
Section III A. is deleted and replaced with the following:

Borrower represents and warrants that it is in compliance with all representations, warranties, covenants and requirements contained in the Agreement and the Customer Agreement as of the date of this Amendment. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges and ratifies the existence of the security interest granted by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ in favor of MBL pursuant to the Agreement. Except as expressly provided herein, all of the representations, warranties, terms, covenants, conditions and other provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms and are in all respects hereby ratified and confirmed.

of any transaction. Capitalized terms used in this agreement and not otherwise defined herein will have the meaning given to them in the Agreement.
This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York without reference to its choice of law doctrine. Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding relating to this agreement. Each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. Federal and New York State courts located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, New York in connection with any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or related to this Amendment, and hereby waives the right to object to the venue of any such action, suit or proceeding in any such courts. This agreement may be executed in a number of counterparts and all those counterparts taken together will constitute one and the same agreement.
