In consideration of the willingness of the Lenders to enter into this Amendment, the Borrowers irrevocably agree to pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a non-refundable amendment fee in cash, in the amount of $50,000, which amendment fee shall be deemed to have been fully earned by the Lenders on the date of this Amendment, but which shall be charged to the Borrowers Account, and shall be due and payable, on the earliest to occur of (x) May 1, 2011, (y) the date of consummation of the Capital Event (as defined in the First Amendment) or (z) the date on which the Obligations shall be due and payable, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

To the extent that any portion of the Designated Cash Contribution consists of obligations other than indebtedness evidenced by one or more promissory notes, whether such obligations are characterized as accrued fees or otherwise, then notwithstanding the terms of Section 7.10 of the Loan Agreement, or any other term or provision to the contrary contained in the Loan Agreement, the Subordination Agreement or any of the Other Documents, no payments of any kind may be made by Katy or the Borrowers thereon, or accepted or received by the obligee thereof, unless and until the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash (other than contingent indemnification obligations not then due and payable), the Lenders’ obligations to extend credit under the Loan Agreement shall have been terminated and the Loan Agreement shall have been terminated.

Delivery by facsimile or electronic transmission shall bind the parties hereto.
