    3.        
    Acknowledgement of Defaults; Merger.

     

    3.1           Borrower
acknowledges that it is in default under the Existing Loan Agreement, including
all three of the financial covenants set forth in Section
6.6.  Borrower has not maintained the minimum required liquidity and
it has been unable to obtain the new round of equity financing.

     

    3.2           Borrower
has advised Bank that it has entered into a merger agreement with Lumera
Corporation; that it expects over the next 90 days to file a Form S-4
registration statement with the Securities Exchange Commission, to submit the
merger to its members and managers for formal approval, and to seek all other
consents and take all other actions necessary to proceed with the
merger.

     

    3.3           Borrower
has requested that Bank forbear from terminating the Existing Loan Agreement and
exercising its remedies thereunder, notwithstanding the defaults and Events of
Default that have occurred.  Instead, Borrower has asked Bank to
extend the maturity to December 31, 2008 to provide liquidity to Borrower while
it works to complete the merger.  Bank is willing to extend the
maturity, and to amend the Existing Loan Agreement, provided that the maximum
aggregate Advances be reduced, and otherwise as expressly provided
herein.  Bank reserves each of its rights and remedies, including
without limitation its rights to terminate the Loan Agreement, accelerate the
maturity, and exercise its creditor remedies, if any Event of Default occurs
after the Effective Date of this Amendment, or if any Event of Default of which
Bank is unaware has occurred as of the Effective Date.

7.3 of the Existing Loan Agreement remains in effect; Bank has not given its
consent to the proposed merger with Lumera Corporation; Bank has not received
sufficient information about the merger to approve or disapprove it; and nothing
in this Amendment or any other instrument or agreement, and no act or omission
by Bank to date, shall be construed as Bank’s consent to the
merger.  Bank reserves the right to approve or disapprove the merger
in its sole discretion.  Such consent would be given, if at all, in a
writing signed by Bank.
