between CALIFORNIA BANK &
TRUST, a California banking corporation ("Bank"); ICON INCOME FUND EIGHT B L.P.; ICON

    RECITALS

     

    A.           Pursuant
to the terms of a Commercial Loan Agreement ("Loan Agreement") between Bank and
Original Borrower, dated as of August 31, 2005, Bank agreed to make a revolving
line of credit in the principal sum of $17,000,000 (“Line of Credit”) available
to Original Borrower; capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein
shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Loan
Agreement.

     

    B.           The
Line of Credit was evidenced by a promissory note ("Note") of even date with the
Loan Agreement, executed by Original Borrower in favor of Bank.

     

    C.           Original
Borrower's indebtedness under the Loan Agreement was secured by assets of
Original Borrower under a separate Security Agreement, dated August 31, 2005
("Security Agreement" executed by each entity comprising Original
Borrower).

     

    D.           Under
the terms of a Loan Modification Agreement, dated as of December 26, 2006,
executed by Original Borrower and Bank (“Prior Modification”), the Loan
Agreement was amended.

     

    D.           In
response to Borrower's request and in reliance upon Borrower's representations
made to Bank in support thereof, Bank has agreed to modify the terms of the Loan
Agreement as set forth in this Modification.

     

    AGREEMENT

     

    NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
Original Borrower, Added Borrower and Bank agree as follows:

     

    1.  Adoption of
Recitals.  Borrower hereby represents and warrants that each of
the recitals set forth above is true, accurate and complete.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        1

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

     

    2.  Acknowledgment of
Debt.  Borrower acknowledges that, to the best of Borrower’s
knowledge, there are no claims, demands, offsets or defenses at law or in equity
that would defeat or diminish Bank's present and unconditional right to collect
the indebtedness evidenced by the Note and to proceed to enforce the rights and
remedies available to Bank as provided in the Note, Loan Agreement, Security
Agreement, Prior Modification or any other instrument, agreement, or document
given in connection with the Line of Credit (collectively the "Loan Documents")
or by law.  Until the Line of Credit is paid in full, interest and
other charges shall continue to accrue and shall be due and owing.

     

    3.  Representations and
Warranties.  Borrower hereby represents and warrants that no
material default exists under the Line of Credit and no event of default, breach
or failure of condition has occurred or exists, or would exist with notice or
lapse of time, or both, under any of the Loan Documents that could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Change, and all representations and
warranties of Borrower in this Modification and the other Loan Documents are
true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Modification
(other than any such representations and warranties that, by their terms, are
specifically made as of a date other than the date hereof) and shall survive the
execution of this Modification.
