    RECITALS

     

    A.    TPSI, as
supplier, and Properties, as purchaser, have previously entered into a Diesel
Fuel Sales Agreement, dated December 14, 2005, as amended by (i) Amendment No. 1
dated May 1, 2006, (ii) Amendment No. 2 dated November 15, 2006, (iii) Amendment
No. 3 dated November 27, 2006, (iv) Amendment No. 4 dated February 1, 2007, (v)
Amendment No. 5 dated March 1, 2007, and (vi) Amendment No. 6 dated April 1,
2007 (the "Prior
Supply Agreement")
pursuant to which TPSI agreed to supply and sell refined petroleum products to
Properties, and Properties agreed to purchase and resell the same at various
retail truck stop plaza locations owned and operated by Properties, all upon the
terms and for the consideration set forth in the Prior Supply
Agreement.

     

    B.    TPSI and
Properties have previously entered into a Note Agreement, dated as of April 1,
2007 (the "Prior
Note Agreement"), and Properties has issued thereunder a promissory note,
dated such date (the "April
Note"), to evidence certain unpaid invoices under the Prior Supply
Agreement, the outstanding principal balance of which, together with all accrued
interest thereon, is set forth on Schedule
I hereto.

     

    C.    Pursuant
to the terms of the Prior Supply Agreement, TPSI has submitted invoices to
Properties for payment, which invoices evidence the volumes of refined petroleum
products delivered and sold by TPSI to Properties of and which Properties has
acknowledged receipt and is obligated to pay for (collectively, the "Unpaid
Invoices" and together with the amounts owing to TPSI under the April
Note, the "Prior
Indebtedness") in the amounts set forth on Schedule
I hereto.

     

    D.    On or
about May 30, 2007, Able acquired from Properties or its subsidiaries the fuel
assets of certain truck stop plazas owned by Properties and its subsidiaries,
while Properties and its subsidiaries continue to own the real property and
improvements comprising such truck stop plazas. In connection with the
acquisition of such assets, Able formed Plazas as a wholly owned subsidiary to
operate such truck stop plazas pursuant to several lease agreements between
Plazas and the subsidiaries of Properties that own the real property and
improvements comprising such truck stop plazas.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    E.    TPSI, as
supplier, and Plazas, as purchaser, have entered into a Delivered Fuel Supply
Agreement, dated October 5, 2007, as amended and supplemented by the Letter
Agreement
dated October 5, 2007, the First Amendment to Delivered Fuel Supply Agreement
dated November 5, 2007, the Second Amendment to Delivered Fuel Supply Agreement
dated November 15, 2007 and the Third Amendment to Delivered Fuel Supply
Agreement dated November 21, 2007 (collectively, the "Supply
Agreement"), pursuant to which (i) TPSI  has
agreed to extend to Plazas a $1,550,000 advance (the "Prepayment
Advance") to enable Plazas to satisfy its prepayment obligations in
connection with the initiation of the Supply Agreement, (ii) TPSI has agreed to
supply Product (as defined therein) to Plazas and (iii) Plazas has agreed to
purchase and resell the Product at various retail truck stop plaza locations
operated by Plazas and owned by Properties from and after the date thereof,
which Supply Agreement supersedes any and all prior agreements, representations
and understandings between the parties, including, without limitation, the Prior
Supply Agreement, provided, however, the Indebtedness shall remain due and
payable pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. As a result,
each of Able, Plazas and Properties have benefited from the previous extensions
of the Indebtedness by TPSI and continue to derive material benefits from TPSI's
forbearance of exercising its rights and remedies in respect of past due
payments under the Prior Supply Agreement and the Prior Note Agreement and the
continued sale by TPSI of Product to Plazas for sale at the retail truck stop
plazas owned by Properties.

     

    F.    TPSI and
the All American Entities desire to amend and restate the terms of the Prior
Note Agreement and the Prior Note, and to evidence the debt owed in respect of
the Prepayment Advance, on the terms set forth herein and in (1) an amended and
restated secured promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit
A-1 issued jointly and severally by Properties and each of the Mortgagors
(as defined herein) payable to the order of TPSI (the "Properties
Note") in an aggregate principal amount equal to the sum of the Prior
Indebtedness and the accrued but unpaid interest thereon to the date hereof, and
(2) a guaranteed promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit
A-2 issued jointly by Able and Plazas payable to the order of TPSI (the
"Able/Plazas Note" and, together with the Properties Note, the "Notes") in the
aggregate amount of the Prepayment Advance. The aggregate amount of indebtedness
represented by the Notes is referred to herein collectively as the "Indebtedness".
The principal amount of the Indebtedness, together with accrued interest
thereon, shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms and provisions
set forth in this Agreement and the Notes.

     

    G.    As of the
Effective Date, the parties intend that this Agreement and the Notes shall amend
and restate in their entirety the Prior Note Agreement and the April Note,
respectively.

     

    H.    TPSI has
agreed to enter into this Agreement and the Supply Agreement with the All
American Entities based on (1) the agreement by the All American Entities to
provide the Collateral (as defined below) and the assurances by the All American
Entities that each of Mortgage A and Mortgage B (each as defined herein) would
be perfected no later than November 30, 2007 and each of Mortgage C and Mortgage
D (each as defined herein) would be perfected no later than December 14,
2007.

     

    FOR VALUE
RECEIVED, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties
agree as follows:

    THE
NOTE

     

    1.1    Amount
and Interest. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth,
Properties, on its own behalf and on behalf of each of the Mortgagors, agrees to
execute and deliver to TPSI the Properties Note, which shall be in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit
A-1, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms and conditions set
forth herein and therein. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth, Able and Plazas agree to execute and deliver to TPSI the Able/Plazas
Note, which shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
A-2, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms and conditions set
forth herein and therein. The Notes will evidence the principal amount of the
Indebtedness, together with interest accruing at the rate of 8% per annum on
that portion of the Properties Note set forth on Schedule
I representing the sum of the principal and unpaid interest on the April
Note Amount and the Past Due Invoice Amount (the "Current
Interest Portion"). Until the date that is 21 months following the
Effective Date, the balance of the Notes in excess of the Current Interest
Portion shall not bear interest. Following the date that is 21 months after the
Effective Date, the entire unpaid balance of the Indebtedness represented by the
Notes (including any portion thereof representing due but unpaid interest) shall
bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum. In the event of any conflict, the
terms of this Agreement shall control, but the Notes and Agreement shall be
interpreted consistently to the extent possible.

     

    1.2    Indebtedness.
The All American Entities acknowledge the Prior Indebtedness set forth on Schedule
I, as evidenced by the April Note and the Unpaid Invoices, which
constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Properties to TPSI that is
absolutely owing and enforceable under the Prior Note Agreement, the Prior Note
and the Prior Supply Agreement, the terms of which are amended and restated in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes, free of any and all
defenses and rights of offset or recoupment, all of which defenses and rights
are hereby waived and released by the All American Entities, other than as set
forth in this Agreement and the Notes. The parties acknowledge and agree that
this Section 1.2 shall not constitute a waiver of, or otherwise modify or amend,
any rights or obligations of the parties to the Supply Agreement with respect to
performance under the Supply Agreement from and after October 5,
2007.

     

     1.3    Acceptance.
TPSI agrees to accept the Notes in order to amend and restate the terms of the
Prior Indebtedness, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement,
including fulfillment of the conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement in
conjunction with the execution and delivery of the Notes and the granting of the
security therefor.

     

      1.4    Payment
of Notes. In addition to any payment of the Notes that may become due and
payable following an Event of Default or in accordance with Section 5.1 hereof,
the unpaid principal balance of the Notes, together with accrued interest
thereon, shall become due and payable as follows:

     

    (a) from and after the Effective
Date, the All American Entities shall be required to pay to TPSI at least 50% of
the Net Proceeds (as defined below) of any debt financing (including
the incurrence of new indebtedness and any refinancings of existing
indebtedness), equity financing or other capital-raising transaction, until such
time as $3,000,000 of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
Indebtedness (the "Threshold
Amount") has been paid to TPSI pursuant hereto (such payment to first be
credited to the unpaid amount, if any, of the Past Due Invoice Amount set forth
on Schedule
I and any excess to be credited against the unpaid amount of the April
Note);

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (b) if
the All American Entities have not paid the Threshold Amount pursuant to Section
1.4(a) on or before March 15, 2008, then:

     

    (i) the All
American Entities shall make monthly payments (with the first payment being due
on March 15, 2008 and the last payment being due on October 15, 2009) of
principal and interest on the outstanding amount of the Indebtedness (calculated
as of March 15, 2008, taking into account all payments of principal made prior
to such date by the All American Entities) in equal monthly amounts sufficient
to amortize the Indebtedness over 25 years (i.e., for every $1,000,000 of
Indebtedness outstanding, the monthly payment will equal $7,718.16), which
payments shall be credited first to the outstanding balance of the Properties
Note and then to accrued but unpaid interest thereon; and

     

    (ii) on
November 15, 2009, the entire amount of principal and interest of the
Indebtedness then outstanding shall be due and payable in full;

     

    provided,
however, that if, on or before August 15, 2008, the All American Entities shall
have paid at least the Threshold Amount pursuant to this Section 1.4, then the
monthly payments obligations and amortization schedule set forth in Section
1.4(b)(i) shall cease and shall thereafter resume pursuant to Section 1.4(c);
and

     

    (c) if
the All American Entities shall have paid the Threshold Amount pursuant to
Section 1.4(a) on or before March 15, 2008, or if the monthly payments and
amortization schedule set forth in Section 1.4(b) shall have ceased as a result
of the payment of the Threshold Amount on or before August 15, 2008 as provided
in Section 1.4(b), then:

     

    (i) commencing
on July 31, 2009, the All American Entities shall make monthly payments (the
first payment being due on July 31, 2009 and the last payment being due on
February 28, 2011) of principal and interest on the outstanding amount of the
Indebtedness (calculated as of July 31, 2009, taking into account all payments
of principal made prior to such date by the All American Entities) in equal
monthly amounts sufficient to amortize the Indebtedness over 25 years (i.e., for
every $1,000,000 of Indebtedness outstanding, the monthly payment will equal
$7,718.16), which payments shall be credited first to the outstanding balance of
the Properties Note and then to accrued but unpaid interest thereon;
and

     

    (ii) on March
31, 2011, the entire amount of principal and interest of the Indebtedness then
outstanding shall be due and payable in full.

     

    Amounts not paid when due
hereunder or under the Notes shall accrue interest until paid at a rate 2.0% per
annum above the rate of interest otherwise applicable to such amount (the "Default
Rate").

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        4

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    If, in
order to make the payments provided for in Section 1.4(a), the All American
Entities or the Mortgagors enter into one or more refinancing transactions with
respect to any of the Mortgaged Premises (as defined in Section 1.6(a)), then,
so long as TPSI shall have received the Threshold Amount on or before March 15,
2008, TPSI shall agree to subordinate its lien on such Mortgaged Premises to
that of the lender in such refinancing transaction; provided, however, that if,
following such refinancing transaction, the Mortgaged Premises have an aggregate
Net Mortgage Value (as defined below) (based on the appraised value as set forth
on Schedule
II or a more recent third party independent appraisal prepared subsequent
to the date hereof, if any) lower than 150% of
the aggregate amount of
the Indebtedness (after the repayment of any and all indebtedness senior
in priority to the Indebtedness secured by a Mortgage in favor of TPSI on such
Mortgaged Premises), then Properties shall provide TPSI with perfected security
interests in additional property or properties owned by Properties or one or
more affiliates thereof with a Net Mortgage Value (based on the most recent
appraisals thereof in the possession of Properties) that, together with the Net
Mortgage Value of the Mortgaged Premises (based on the appraised value as set
forth on Schedule
II or a more recent third party independent appraisal prepared subsequent
to the date hereof, if any), equals or exceeds the amount of the Indebtedness.
Any such additional property or properties must be satisfactory to TPSI in its
reasonable discretion. The All American Entities shall, within five business
days of the closing of the refinancing transaction, prepare and record a
mortgage or other similar security instrument, in form and substance
substantially identical to the Mortgages (except for changes required by
applicable law or that reflect the different description, location or nature of
the applicable property), in connection with each such additional property or
properties and, upon proper recording thereof, such mortgage or other similar
security instrument shall constitute a "Mortgage"
hereunder and such additional property shall constitute a "Mortgaged
Premises" hereunder.

     

    For
purposes of this Agreement,

     

    
      	
              (i) 
      

            	
              "Net
      Proceeds" shall mean cash proceeds received by an All American
      Entity from any debt financing (including the incurrence of new
      indebtedness and any refinancing of existing indebtedness), equity
      financing or other capital-raising transaction, net of (A) expenses
      actually incurred and paid by the All American Entities to an unaffiliated
      third party in connection with such financing (including, without
      limitation, title insurance premiums, recording fees and lender fees) and
      (B) (i) if such refinancing involves any of the Mortgaged Premises, any
      amounts applied to repayment of indebtedness senior in priority to the
      Indebtedness secured by a Mortgage in favor of TPSI on the Mortgaged
      Premises subject to such financing transaction or (ii) if such refinancing
      involves a property that is not one of the Mortgaged Premises, any amounts
      applied to repayment of indebtedness secured by a mortgage or other lien
      on such property; and

            

    

     

    
      	
              (ii) 
      

            	
              "Net
      Mortgage Value" shall mean the fair market value of any property
      (determined as specified in this Agreement) less the maximum aggregate
      amount of obligations secured by any mortgage or other consensual lien or
      encumbrance that has or would have priority over, or be pari
      passu with, the applicable Mortgage or proposed additional mortgage
      in favor of TPSI with respect to such
property.

            

    

     

    
      
         

      

      
        5

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    1.5    Place
of Payment. Payments of principal, interest and any other amounts due
TPSI under the Notes shall be made by the All American Entities at TPSI's
offices at 1670 Broadway, Suite 3100, Denver, Colorado 80202, or at such other
place as TPSI may designate, from time to time, in writing to the All American
Entities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     

    1.6             Collateral.

     

    (a)  The Notes shall be
secured by mortgages of certain properties (the "Mortgaged
Premises") as follows:

        6

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (b) In
the event that Properties or a Mortgagor enters into an agreement, on or before
December 14, 2007, to sell, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of the
properties identified in Sections 1.6(a)(iii) or l.6(a)(iv) above,
then:

     

    (i) Properties
shall provide TPSI with perfected security interests in additional property or
properties owned by Properties or one or more affiliates thereof with a Net
Mortgage Value (based on the most recent appraisals thereof in the possession of
Properties and provided to TPSI) equal to or in excess to the Net Mortgage Value
of the property or properties that was sold (based on the appraised value as set
forth on Schedule
II or a more recent third party independent appraisal prepared subsequent
to the date hereof, if any), to serve as substitute collateral for the
Indebtedness; provided that any such additional property or properties must be
satisfactory to TPSI in its reasonable discretion and that the All American
Entities shall, within five business days of the closing of the sale of such
property or properties, prepare and record a mortgage or other similar security
instrument, in form and substance substantially identical to the Mortgages
(except for changes required by applicable law or that reflect the different
description, location or nature of the applicable property), in connection with
each such additional property or properties and, upon proper recording thereof,
such mortgage or other similar security instrument shall constitute a "Mortgage"
hereunder and such substitute property shall constitute a "Mortgaged
Premises" hereunder; and

     

    (ii) if such
sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition was of the property identified
in Section 1.6(a)(iii) or 1.6(a)(iv) above, then Properties shall cause to be

disposition) any amount in excess of $3,000,000 received by Belmont Properties,
Carney's Point Properties, any All American Entity or any of their respective

    (c) Not

released and shall have provided TPSI
any and all documentation requested by TPSI to confirm the release
thereof.

     

    (d) Not
later than January 15, 2008, the All American Entities shall take all steps
necessary to cause Mortgage A and Mortgage B to represent a second priority lien
(having priority over all other consensual liens and security interests, except
for the liens represented by the FMAC Documents identified on Schedule
III) on the Mortgaged Premises subject to Mortgage A and Mortgage B, as
applicable, and shall provide to TPSI any and all documentation requested by
TPSI to confirm the release of the any and all prior mortgages or other liens on
such property and the continued validity and first priority of Mortgage A and
Mortgage B.

     

    (e) In
addition, unless all the outstanding Indebtedness has been repaid, not later
than the date that is 21 months after the Effective Date, the All American
Entities shall take all steps
necessary to cause Mortgage B to represent a first priority (as opposed to
second priority) lien on the premises subject to Mortgage B, and shall provide
to TPSI any and all documentation requested by TPSI to confirm the release of
the any and all prior mortgages or other liens on such property and the
continued validity and first priority of Mortgage B. If, thereafter, the All
American Entities reduce the outstanding balance of the Indebtedness to an
amount less than $5,000,000 and TPSI shall have received evidence satisfactory
to it in its sole discretion of the continued validity and first priority lien
represented by Mortgage B, then TPSI shall take all steps reasonably necessary
to terminate the security interest represented by Mortgage A.

     1.7    Increase
in Prepayment Advance. If, as of December 14, 2007 or, if Section 1.6(b)
is applicable, the date that is five business days following the closing of the
sale of such property or properties, the Mortgages have been timely recorded as
provided in Section 1.6(a) or Section 1.6(b), as applicable, then TPSI hereby
agrees to increase the Prepayment Advance set forth on Schedule
I to $1,800,000, and the following adjustments shall thereafter be deemed
to have been made: (i) the aggregate amount of the Able/Plazas Note shall be
increased by $250,000; (ii) the aggregate amount of Indebtedness shall be
increased by $250,000; and (iii) the Threshold Amount shall be increased by

    (a)    Upon the
occurrence of any Properties Event of Default, TPSI, at its option and without
demand or notice to any All American Entity, all of which are waived to the
extent permitted by applicable law, may declare all Indebtedness represented by
the Properties Note immediately due and payable, in addition to other remedies
available to a secured party under the UCC or under applicable law, or available
under any or all other documents (including the Loan Documents), all of which
are cumulative and nonexclusive.

     

    (b)    Upon the
occurrence of any Able/Plazas Event of Default, TPSI, at its option and without
demand or notice to any All American Entity, all of which are waived to the
extent permitted by applicable law, may declare all Indebtedness represented by
the Able/Plazas Note immediately due and payable, in addition to other remedies
available to a secured party under the UCC or under applicable law, or available
under any or all other documents (including the Loan Documents), all of which
are cumulative and nonexclusive.

     

    (c)    In
addition to and without limiting the rights of TPSI set forth in Section 3.3(b),
upon the occurrence of any Able/Plazas Event of Default, the Mortgagors hereby
agree to pay or otherwise
cure, and shall be jointly and severally liable for, such Event of Default. The
obligation of the Mortgagors set forth in this Section 3.3(c) is a primary,
present and continuing obligation, and TPSI shall not be required to prosecute
collection, enforcement or other remedies against Able, Plazas or any other
Mortgagor, or to enforce or resort to any collateral for the repayment of any
amounts due under the Able/Plazas Note or other rights or remedies pertaining
thereto, before calling on the Mortgagors for payment or cure. Without limiting
the foregoing, if for any reason Able or Plazas shall fail or be unable to pay,
punctually and fully, any amounts due under the Able/Plazas Note, the Mortgagors
shall pay such amounts to TPSI in full immediately upon demand. One or more
successive actions may be brought against any Mortgagor or all Mortgagors, as
often as TPSI deems advisable, until any and all Able/Plazas Events of Default
are cured in full or all Indebtedness represented by the Able/Plazas Note is
paid in full. If a payment by any Mortgagor to TPSI could reasonably be expected
to constitute a preference payment in bankruptcy because such Mortgagor would
have a legal or equitable right to recover such payment from the All American
Entity on whose behalf such payment was made, then such Mortgagor agrees that it
will forgo any such right to recovery for so long as necessary for its payment
to TPSI not to be recoverable as a preference in such bankruptcy.

of TPSI if the following conditions are met: (i) the purchaser or surviving
entity, as applicable, of such transaction shall have executed an agreement, in
form and substance acceptable to TPSI in its sole discretion, pursuant to which
such purchaser or surviving entity, as applicable, shall assume the liabilities
of Able, Plazas or Properties, as applicable, under the Notes and this
Agreement; and (ii) the purchaser or surviving entity, as applicable, shall have
furnished evidence to TPSI that the liens under the Mortgages are continuing,
valid and perfected first priority liens (or lower priority as specifically
provided herein) on the applicable Mortgaged Premises. In addition, TPSI shall
have the right, exercisable in its sole discretion, and not as a condition to
the consummation of such merger, consolidation or sale of assets, to obtain (at
its sole cost and expense) an appraisal demonstrating whether the Mortgaged
Premises have an aggregate Net Mortgage Value in excess of 150% of the aggregate
amount of the Indebtedness then outstanding. In the event such appraisal shows
that the Mortgaged Premises

Value lower than 150% of the aggregate amount of the Indebtedness then
outstanding, then Properties shall provide TPSI with additional property or
properties owned by Properties or one or more affiliates thereof with a Net
Mortgage Value (based on the most recent appraisals thereof in the possession of
Properties) that, together with the Net Mortgage Value of the Mortgaged Premises
(based on the appraised value as set forth on Schedule
II or a more recent third party independent appraisal prepared subsequent
to the date hereof, if any), equals or exceeds the amount of the Indebtedness.
Any such additional property or properties must be satisfactory to TPSI in its
reasonable discretion. The All American Entities shall, within five business
days of the closing of such transaction, prepare and record a mortgage or other
similar security instrument, in form and substance substantially identical to
the Mortgages (except for changes required by applicable law or that reflect the
different description, location or nature of the applicable property), in
connection with each such additional property or properties and, upon proper
recording thereof, such mortgage or other similar security instrument shall
constitute a "Mortgage"
hereunder and such additional property shall constitute a "Mortgaged
Premises hereunder.

     

    (f)    Without the
prior written consent of TPSI, no Mortgagor shall sell, transfer, convey or
dispose of any of the Mortgaged Premises, and Properties shall not sell,
transfer, convey or dispose of all or greater than 50% of the voting capital
stock or other equity of any Mortgagor; provided, however, that, without the
prior written consent of TPSI the Mortgagors shall be permitted to sell,
transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of any one or more Mortgaged Premises, and
Properties may sell, transfer, convey or dispose of all or greater than 50% of
the voting capital stock or other equity interests of any Mortgagor, if TPSI is
paid the amount(s) set forth in Schedule
V with respect to one or more of the Mortgaged Premises being sold or
transferred (or the Mortgaged Premises owned by the Mortgagor the equity
interests of which are being sold or transferred, as applicable) out of the
proceeds of such sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition. In addition,
if any Indebtedness remains outstanding following such sale, transfer,
conveyance or other disposition, TPSI shall have the right, exercisable in its
sole discretion, and not as a condition to the consummation of such sale,
transfer, conveyance or other disposition, to obtain (at its sole cost and
expense) an appraisal demonstrating whether the remaining Mortgaged Premises
have an aggregate Net Mortgage Value in excess of 150% of the aggregate amount
of the Indebtedness remaining outstanding following such sale, transfer,
conveyance or other disposition. In the event such appraisal shows that the
remaining Mortgaged Premises have an aggregate Net Mortgage Value lower than
150% of the aggregate amount of the Indebtedness remaining outstanding following
such sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition, then Properties shall
provide TPSI with additional property or properties owned by Properties or one
or more affiliates thereof with a
Net Mortgage Value (based on the most recent appraisals thereof in the
possession of Properties) that, together with the Net Mortgage Value of the
Mortgaged Premises (based on the appraised value as set forth on Schedule
II,
or a more recent third party independent appraisal prepared subsequent to the
date hereof, if any), equals or exceeds the amount of the Indebtedness. Any such
additional property or properties must be satisfactory to TPSI in its reasonable
discretion. The All American Entities shall, within five business days of the
closing of the sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition, prepare and
record a mortgage or other similar security instrument, in form and substance
substantially identical to the Mortgages (except for changes required by
applicable law or that reflect the different description, location or nature of
the applicable property), in connection with each such additional property or
properties and, upon proper recording thereof, such
mortgage or other similar security instrument shall constitute a "Mortgage"
hereunder and such additional property shall constitute a "Mortgaged
Premises" hereunder. The Mortgagors shall notify TPSI in writing of any
proposed sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of the Mortgaged
Premises not less than 30 days in advance of the completion of such transaction.
Such notice shall provide reasonable detail of the terms of the proposed
transaction, including the price to be paid and payment terms.

    (g)    Neither
Properties nor any Mortgagor shall engage in any debt financing (including the
incurrence of new indebtedness and any refinancings of existing indebtedness),
equity financing or other capital-raising transaction with respect to any of the
Mortgaged Premises without the prior written consent of TPSI; provided, however,
that such entities shall be permitted to engage in a debt financing, equity
financing or other capital-raising transaction with respect to any of the
Mortgaged Premises without the prior written consent of TPSI if the following
conditions are met: (i) TPSI shall be paid at least 50% of the Net Proceeds of
such debt financing, equity financing or other capital-raising transaction; and
(ii) Properties or the Mortgagor(s), as applicable, shall have furnished
evidence to TPSI that the liens under the Mortgages are continuing, valid and
perfected first priority liens (or lower priority as specifically provided
herein) on the applicable Mortgaged Premises. In addition, if any Indebtedness
remains outstanding following such debt financing, equity financing or other
capital-raising transaction, TPSI shall have the right, exercisable in its sole
discretion, and not as a condition to the consummation of such debt financing,
equity financing or other capital-raising-transaction, to obtain (at its sole
cost and expense) an appraisal demonstrating whether the remaining Mortgaged
Premises have an aggregate Net Mortgage Value in excess of 150% of the aggregate
amount of the Indebtedness remaining outstanding following such debt financing,
equity financing or other capital-raising transaction. In the event such
appraisal shows that the remaining Mortgaged Premises have an aggregate Net
Mortgage Value lower than 150% of the aggregate amount of the Indebtedness
remaining outstanding following such debt financing, equity financing or other
capital-raising transaction, then Properties shall provide TPSI with additional
property or properties owned by Properties or one or more affiliates thereof
with a Net Mortgage Value (based on the most recent appraisals thereof in the
possession of Properties) that, together with the Net Mortgage Value of the
Mortgaged Premises (based on the appraised value as set forth on Schedule
II or a more recent third party independent appraisal prepared subsequent
to the date hereof, if any), equals or
exceeds the amount of the Indebtedness. Any such additional property or
properties must be satisfactory to TPSI in its reasonable discretion. The All
American Entities shall, within five business days of the closing of the debt
financing, equity financing or other capital-raising transaction, prepare and
record a mortgage or other similar security instrument, in form and substance
substantially identical to the Mortgages (except for changes required by
applicable law or that reflect the different description, location or nature of
the applicable property), in connection with each such additional property or
properties and, upon proper recording thereof, such mortgage or other similar
security instrument shall constitute a "Mortgage"
hereunder and such additional property shall constitute a "Mortgaged
Premises" hereunder. The Mortgagors shall notify TPSI in writing of any
proposed debt financing, equity financing or other capital-raising transaction
with respect to any of the Mortgaged Premises not less than 30 days in advance
of the completion of such transaction. Such notice shall provide reasonable
detail of the terms of the proposed transaction, including the amounts to be
financed. Except as provided in this Section 5.1(g), neither Properties nor any
other All
American Entity shall permit any of the Mortgaged Premises to be subject to a
consensual lien other than the Permitted Encumbrances.

     

    (h)    If, at
any time after January 31, 2008, Able is not current in its annual and quarterly
filing requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or is not subject
to such requirements, then, within ten (10) calendar days after any written
request from TPSI, Able shall provide TPSI current consolidated and
consolidating financial statements of Able and its subsidiaries as of the most
recently ended fiscal quarter and year. Such financial statements shall be
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals and, in the
case of annual financial statements, shall be accompanied by an unqualified
opinion thereon of a qualified firm of independent auditors.

    (i)    While any
of the Indebtedness represented by the Properties Note is outstanding,
Properties shall not, directly or indirectly, make (i) any cash dividend or
other cash distribution, direct or indirect, on account of any shares of any
class of its capital stock, (ii) any redemption, retirement, sinking fund or
similar payment, purchase or other acquisition for value, direct or indirect, of
any shares of any class of its capital stock, or (iii) any cash payment made to
redeem, purchase, repurchase or retire, or to obtain the surrender of, any
outstanding warrants, options or other rights to acquire any shares of any class
of its capital stock (collectively, "Restricted
Payments").

     

    (j)    While any
of the Indebtedness represented by the Able/Plazas Note is outstanding, Able
shall not, directly or indirectly, make any Restricted
Payments.

     

    5.2    Consent
and Indemnification. Properties and each of the Mortgagors hereby (a)
agree that TPSI may file each of the Mortgages without receipt of prior consent
of any existing lien holders, (b) expressly consents to the filing of the
Mortgages and the creation and perfection of the security interests granted
thereby regardless of receipt of any consent of any existing lien holder and
regardless of any default that may occur as a result thereof, and (ii) agrees to
indemnify and hold TPSI harmless from any loss, liability, cost or expense
(including fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by TPSI as a
result of or in connection with the execution and filing of the Mortgages
and the creation and perfection of the security interests granted
thereby.

     6.3    Expenses,
Attorney's Fees, Etc. When and to the extent that TPSI shall be
entitled-to enforce or exercise any right or remedy, or TPSI is entitled or
required to defend itself or any of the Mortgaged Premises against any challenge
or competing security interest, lien, claim, or encumbrance, TPSI shall be
entitled to recover all expenses and costs reasonably suffered or incurred in
connection therewith, including to enforce its remedies against any of the
Mortgaged Premises after the occurrence of any Event of Default. The All
American Entities and the Mortgagors shall defend and indemnify TPSI against any
claims contrary to TPSI's rights or interests as set forth in this Agreement or
any other Loan Document or against any competing lien or security interest,
lien, claim, or encumbrance, TPSI shall be entitled to recover all expenses and
costs reasonably suffered or incurred in connection therewith, including to

provisions hereof and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any

other jurisdiction.
