      Real Estate Documents in order to grant to Agent, for the benefit of the
      Secured Parties, a Lien in certain owned Real Estate of
      Borrowers.  Agent and Lenders hereby waive such requirement and any
      Default or Event of Default which exists as a result of Borrowers’
      failure to comply with Section 6.3.1 of the Loan
      Agreement.  Agent and Lenders further agree that Agent does not have a
      Lien on the Real Estate identified in Section 6.3.1 of the Loan
      Agreement.

      are charged-off (“Charge-Off Policy Change”).  As set forth in Section
      10.1.12 of the Loan Agreement, Borrowers must obtain prior approval
      from Agent of the Charge-Off Policy Change.  Agent and Lenders hereby
      consent to the Charge-Off Policy Change so long as such change becomes
      effective as of July 31, 2011.
    

    
         (c)  Borrowers have informed Agent that CAI is in negotiations with
      CommunityBank of Texas, N.A. (“Real Estate Lender”) to obtain financing
      from the Real Estate Lender in the form of a term loan in the original
      principal amount of $8,000,000 secured solely by a Lien (“Real Estate
      Lien”) in each of CAI’s real property located at (x) 8201 S. Gessner,

      Lenders is required for the incurrence of the New Real Estate Loan and

      lien so long as the net proceeds of such loan in an amount not less than
      $7,000,000 is applied to the principal outstanding amount of the Term
      Loan.
