the Lender hereby acknowledge and agree as follows: 

 a. No Additional Advances. The Lender has no additional obligation

 b. Modification of Maturity Date. The Loan Agreement is hereby modified and
amended in Section 1, entitled “DEFINITIONS AND RULES OF CONTRUCTION”, by striking in its entirety the existing definition of “Maturity Date” as appearing in the existing Loan Agreement and by substituting in place thereof
the following: 
 “Maturity Date” means November 24, 2008. 
 The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that there shall be no extension of the Maturity Date, notwithstanding the occurrence of any Extension Event as provided in the existing Loan Agreement or otherwise. 
 c. Payment of Secured Obligations. On or before 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on November 24, 2008 (with time being of the essence), being
the revised Maturity Date (as hereby modified), the Borrower shall pay to the Lender the entire outstanding amount of the Secured Obligations under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents (with credit given for the Prepayment Discount as
provided in Section 5.d below) in good and sufficient funds immediately available to the Lender without condition. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing (and the Borrower’s obligation to pay the actual amount of all Secured
Obligations outstanding on the Maturity Date (as hereby modified)), the entire amount of the Secured Obligations (as of November 24, 2008) shall be as follows: 
 (i) The amount of $17,649,568.60, representing the current outstanding principal balance of the Loan as of November 24, 2008 (the
“Principal Payment”), to be applied by the Lender in payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan; 
  

 -3- 








 (ii) The amount of $123,474.55, representing the total amount of accrued interest as of
November 24, 2008 (the “Interest Payment”); 
 (iii) The amount of $300,000, representing the End of
Term Payment, which the Lender and the Borrower have determined applicable in accordance with provisions of Section 2.8(c) of the Loan Agreement (the “End of Term Payment”); and 
 (iv) Payment of all legal fees and related expenses incurred by the Lender (the “Legal Fee Payment”) as provided in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. It is anticipated that by 3:00p.m. Monday, November 24, 2008, Lender’s counsel will provide Borrower with the amount due for such fees through Friday, November 21, 2008, plus a reasonable good
faith estimate of fees and disbursements subsequent to November 21, 2008, the aggregate of which shall constitute the Legal Fee Payment. 
 The Principal Payment, the Interest Payment, the End of Term Payment, and the Legal Fee Payment (together with any remaining Secured Obligations, exclusive of the Prepayment Charge, which may be due and owing on or after the Maturity Date
(as hereby modified)) shall be referred to herein, collectively, as the “Required Secured Obligation Payment”. 
 d.
Payment Discount. The Lender hereby agrees that in the event that the Borrower makes the Required Secured Obligation Payment on November 24, 2008 as and when provided in Section 5.c above (with time being of the essence) (but
not otherwise), then the Lender shall provide the Borrower with a payment discount of $125,000 (the “Payment Discount”) which will be applied as a credit against the amount of the Required Secured Obligation Payment, as determined
solely by the Lender. 
 e. Late Payment Charge. In the event that the Borrower fails to make the Required Secured Obligation Payment
in full on November 24, 2008 as and when provided in Section 5.c above (with time being of the essence) (but not otherwise), then from and after the Maturity Date (as hereby modified) the Borrower hereby agrees to pay the Lender a
“Late Payment Charge” (so referred to herein) in the amount of $50,000 per diem for each additional day that the Borrower fails to pay the then entire outstanding amount of the Required Secured Obligation Payment on or before 5:00
p.m. (Eastern Time) on each such additional day, as determined solely by the Lender. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that payment of the Late Payment Charge: (i) shall be in addition to the amounts payable on account of the Required
Secured Obligation Payment, (ii) shall constitute additional Secured Obligations of the Borrower due and owing to the Bank and secured by the Collateral, and (iii) represents a fair and reasonable charge, as liquidated damages that would
otherwise be difficult to fairly ascertain, to compensate the Lender for the failure of the Borrower to make the 

  

 -4- 








 
Required Secured Obligation Payment in full as and when provided in Section 5.c above. Any applicable Late Payment Charge shall be immediately due and
payable in full and shall constitute a portion of the Secured Obligations then having matured on account of the occurrence of the Maturity Date (as hereby modified). 
 f. Prepayment Charge. The Borrower and the Lender acknowledge and agree that no Prepayment Charge shall be applicable pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Loan Agreement. 
 g. Respecting Payment From Comerica Account. The Borrower has advised the Lender that the Borrower is attempting to liquidate funds in the
Comerica Account in an amount sufficient to make the Required Secured Obligation Payment in full on November 24, 2008, as and when provided in Section 5.c above, but that certain of the funds in the Comerica Account may not be fully
“liquid” on said date. The Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that to the extent the Borrower: (i) pays substantially all of the “liquid” funds available to the Borrower from the Comerica Account on November 24,
2008 in reduction of the Required Secured Obligation Payment as and when otherwise provided above and (ii) pays the remaining amount of the Required Secured Obligation Payment (including the additional day’s interest having accrued under
the Note) in full on or before 5:00 p.m. on November 25, 2008 (with time being of the essence) (but not otherwise), then the Lender shall accept such payment as being timely made hereunder and the Borrower: (x) shall continue to
receive credit for the Payment Discount and (y) shall not be charged the Late Payment Charge otherwise applicable for payment made one (1) day after the Maturity Date (as hereby modified), all of the foregoing as determined solely but
reasonably by the Lender. 
 h. Release of Collateral. Upon payment in full of the entire Secured Obligations by making the Required
Secured Obligation Payment (together with any applicable Late Payment Penalty) (but not otherwise), the Lender agrees that it shall promptly in the ordinary course of business release the pledge and security interests to and in the Collateral
granted pursuant to the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
