WHEREAS, Borrower is currently indebted to Bank pursuant to the terms and
conditions of that certain Amended and Restated Line of Credit Note in the
maximum principal amount of $7,000,000.00, executed by Borrower and payable to
the order of Bank, dated as of November 1, 2005 (the “Line of Credit Note”),
which Note is subject to the terms and conditions of that certain Amended and

2005, as amended from time to time (the “Credit Agreement”).

WHEREAS, Bank and Borrower have agreed to certain changes in the terms and
conditions set forth in the Line of Credit Note, and have agreed to modify the
Line of Credit Note to reflect such changes.

NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree that the Line of Credit Note
shall be modified as follows:

1. Paragraph (a) Interest of the Section of the Note titled “INTEREST” is hereby
deleted in its entirety and the following substituted therefor:

(a) Interest. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest
(computed on the basis of a 360-day year for Libor and a 365/366 day year for
Prime Rate, actual days elapsed) either (i) at a fluctuating rate per annum
three-quarters percent (0.75%) below the Prime Rate in effect from time to time,
or (ii) at a fixed rate per annum determined by Bank to be one and one-half
percent (1.50%) above Libor in effect on the first day of the applicable Fixed
Rate Term. When interest is determined in relation to the Prime Rate, each
change in the rate of interest hereunder shall become effective on the date each
Prime Rate change is announced within Bank. With respect to each Libor selection
hereunder, Bank is hereby authorized to note the date, principal amount,
interest rate and Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto and any payments made
thereon on Bank’s books and records (either manually or by electronic entry)
and/or on any schedule attached to this Note, which notations shall be prima
facie evidence of the accuracy of the information noted.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
2. The last sentence of Paragraph (a) Borrowing and Repayment of the Section of
the Note titled “BORROWING AND REPAYMENT” is hereby deleted in its entirety, and
the following substituted therefor:

The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable in full
on August 31, 2009.

3. The effective date of the changes set forth herein shall be September 1,
2007. The effectiveness of this Modification is subject to the satisfaction of
all conditions provided in that certain First Amendment to Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2007, between Borrowers and Bank.

4. Except as expressly set forth herein, all terms and conditions of the Line of
Credit Note remain in full force and effect, without waiver or modification. All
terms defined in the Line of Credit Note or the Credit Agreement shall have the
same meaning when used in this Modification. This Modification and the Line of
Credit Note shall be read together, as one document.

5. Borrower certifies that as of the date of this Modification there exists no
Event of Default under the Line of Credit Note, nor any condition, act or event
which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute
any such Event of Default. Borrower further certifies that, notwithstanding the
modifications set forth herein, all of the Collateral securing the Line of
Credit Note shall remain subject to the lien, charge or encumbrance of the deed
of trust, mortgage, security agreement or other document pursuant to which such
lien, charge or encumbrance is created, and nothing contained herein or done
pursuant hereto shall affect or be construed to affect the priority of the lien,
