3.              Amendment to Line of Credit Note. The Line of Credit Note is hereby amended as follows:


 


3.1             The second paragraph on page 1 of the Line of Credit Note is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following are

“(a)             The

Interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof from time to time outstanding shall be a fluctuating rate equal to, at the election of
the Borrowers, either (i) the Term SOFR Rate (or, if applicable under clauses (c), (d) or (e) of this Note, the Daily Simple SOFR Rate
or the Base Rate, as applicable), or (ii) the Adjusted Prime Rate, which fluctuating rate will change when the Prime Rate changes. The
Borrowers may elect to have the interest rate converted to the Term SOFR Rate (or, if applicable under clauses (c), (d) or (e) of this
Note, the Daily Simple SOFR Rate or the Base Rate, as applicable) or to the Adjusted Prime Rate, as applicable, at any time during the
term of this Note upon notice to the Bank at least two (2) Business Days prior to the end of the existing Interest Period, if the Term

    	 	7	 



     


    

 


(b)             Computations. Interest due with respect to this Note shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid in arrears for
the actual number of days elapsed. If the due date for any payment required under this Note is extended by operation of law, interest
shall be payable for such extended time. If any payment required under this Note is due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment
shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension shall be included in computing interest in connection with such
payment.


 


(c)              Illegality.
If the Bank determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any law has made it unlawful, or that any
governmental authority has asserted it is unlawful, for the Bank to determine or charge interest by reference to Term SOFR or Daily Simple
SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by the Bank to the Borrower, any obligation of the Bank to make or maintain the interest rate hereunder
by reference to Term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR shall be suspended, and the interest shall thereafter accrue on the outstanding principal
balance of this Note at the Base Rate until the Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no
longer exist.


 


(d)             Temporary
Unavailability of Term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR. If the Bank determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest
error) that (i) the circumstances under clause (e) of this Section have occurred and such circumstances are likely to be temporary, (ii)
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining Term SOFR, or (iii) the Term SOFR Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect
the cost to the Bank of funding the loan evidenced by this Note, then, upon notice thereof by the Bank to the Borrower, any obligation
of the Bank to make or maintain the interest rate hereunder by reference to Term SOFR shall be suspended, and interest shall thereafter
accrue on the outstanding principal balance of this Note at a variable rate per annum equal to the Daily Simple SOFR Rate (or, if the
Bank makes any of the foregoing determinations with respect to Daily Simple SOFR or the Daily Simple SOFR Rate, the Base Rate) until
the Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.


 






    		8	 



     


    

 


(e)              Permanent
Unavailability of Term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR. If the Bank determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest
error) that (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining Term SOFR, including, because SOFR or Term SOFR is not available
or published on a current basis, and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (ii) the SOFR Administrator or Term SOFR Administrator,
or a governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Bank or any such administrator, has announced that SOFR or Term SOFR will no
longer be provided, (iii) any relevant agency or authority has announced that SOFR or Term SOFR is no longer representative, or (iv)
any similar circumstance exists such that SOFR or Term SOFR has become permanently unavailable or ceased to exist, any obligation of
the Bank to make or maintain the interest rate hereunder by reference to Term SOFR shall be suspended, and the interest shall thereafter
accrue on the outstanding principal balance of this Note at a variable rate per annum equal to the Daily Simple SOFR Rate (or, if the
Bank makes any of the foregoing determinations with respect to Daily Simple SOFR or the Daily Simple SOFR Rate, the Base Rate).


 


(f)             Interest
Rate Protection Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, during any time that a transaction under an interest
rate swap agreement or hedging contract with the Bank is in effect with respect to this Note (i) Interest Periods and Interest Payment
Dates shall be adjusted as necessary to conform to the corresponding periods and dates applicable under such applicable under such interest
rate swap agreement or hedging contract, and (ii) “Prime Rate” means, for any day, the rate published for such day opposite
the caption “Bank prime loan” in Federal Reserve Publication H.15-519 (or any successor publication as published by the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), and any announced changes in said published “Bank prime loan” rate shall result
in an immediate and corresponding change in the Prime Rate without notice to or consent from the Borrower.”

the Lender’s receipt of the following items, as applicable, in each case in form and content acceptable to the Lender:

security for the Loans and Notes now existing or hereafter granted to Lender, including without limitation all security evidenced, granted
or governed by the Loan Agreement as amended hereby, the Security Agreements, the Mortgage, and any guaranty given in connection with
the Loans or Notes, shall be security for the Loans, as amended hereby, and the Notes and for all obligations of Borrower under this
Agreement, under the Notes and under the Loan Agreement, as previously amended and as amended by this Agreement.
