            (iii) The Unvested Share Legend or the Vested Share Legend, as
         applicable, will be removed by the Company by the delivery of
         substitute certificates without such Unvested Share Legend or Vested
         Share Legend, as the case may be, in the event of a Transfer permitted
         by this Agreement and in which the Transferee is not required to enter
         into an Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 2.4; provided,
         however, that the second paragraph of each of the Unvested Share
         Legend and the Vested Share Legend will only be removed at such time
         as it is no longer required for purposes of applicable securities
         laws.

         (d)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary (other than Section 2.2), a Management Shareholder shall be permitted
to Transfer any Shares which are subject to a Restricted Share Agreement only to
the extent that such Management Shareholder's interest in such Shares has fully
vested, as of the date of such transfer, in accordance with the terms of the
applicable Restricted Share Agreement. However, Ordinary Shares which are not
otherwise vested at the time of Transfer may be transferred to any Permitted
Transferee, provided that such Permitted Transferee agrees to be bound by all of
the restrictions and forfeiture provisions to which the transferred Ordinary
Shares are subject at the time of such Transfer.

         (e)  Without the prior written consent of Silver Lake and TPG, no
Management Shareholder may Transfer all or a portion of his or her interests in
the Company or take any other action, if such transfer or action would create a
material risk of the Company becoming a "publicly traded partnership," within
the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code and the regulations promulgated
thereunder.

         2.2   Certain Permitted Transfers. (a)  Any Management Shareholder may
               ---------------------------
Transfer any or all of the Shares held by him or her to any Permitted Transferee
of such Management Shareholder who duly executes and delivers an Assumption
Agreement, provided that such Transfer shall not be effective unless and until
the Company shall have been furnished with information reasonably satisfactory
to it demonstrating that such Transfer is exempt from or not subject to the
provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act and any other applicable
securities laws.

         (b)  Each Permitted Transferee of any Management Shareholder to which
Shares are transferred shall, and such Management Shareholder shall cause such
Permitted Transferee

                                                                              10

to, transfer back to such Management Shareholder (or to another Permitted
Transferee of such Management Shareholder) any Shares it owns prior to such
Permitted Transferee ceasing to be a Permitted Transferee of such Management
Shareholder.

         (c)  Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, each Management
Shareholder may Transfer any or all of the Shares held by him or her: (i) with
the consent of the Board, to another Management Shareholder; (ii) to the
Company; or (iii) to Silver Lake, TPG or any of their respective Affiliates.

         2.3   Tag-Along Rights. (a) So long as (i) this Agreement shall remain
               ----------------
in effect and (ii) no Qualified Public Offering of Ordinary Shares shall have
occurred, each Management Shareholder shall, with respect to such Management
Shareholder's Shares, have the right to exercise the rights of a Tagging
Shareholder pursuant to Section 2.4 of the Investor Shareholders Agreement in
connection with any Proposed Sale (as defined in the Investor Shareholders
Agreement) of Shares by any Selling Holder (as defined in the Investor
Shareholders Agreement) thereunder, provided that, in the case of a Proposed
Sale, such Management Shareholder shall be permitted to participate in any such
Proposed Sale only with respect to those Shares which are not subject to a
Restricted Share Agreement or with respect to which such Management
Shareholder's interest has fully vested as of the date of the closing of such
Proposed Sale (including Shares that are vested as a result of such Proposed
Sale), in accordance with the terms of the applicable Restricted Share
Agreement.

         2.4   Rights and Obligations of Transferees. Any Transferee of Shares
               -------------------------------------
(other than Transferees who acquire Shares pursuant to the exercise of rights
set forth in Section 2.5 or Section 4.1 or, following the initial Public
Offering by the Company, in a bona fide sale to the public pursuant to Rule 144
under the Securities Act or pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act) will be required, at the time of and as a condition to
such Transfer, to become a party to this Agreement by executing and delivering
an Assumption Agreement and, upon executing and delivering an Assumption
Agreement, will be treated as a Management Shareholder for all purposes hereof;
provided, however, that no such Transferee will acquire any rights (but will be
subject to the obligations) under Section 2.3 and 4.1 or be subject to the Call
Right under Article III, unless such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee.

         2.5   Take-Along Rights. Each Management Shareholder agrees that if any
               -----------------
Investor or Investors holding, in the aggregate, at least a majority of the
outstanding Ordinary Shares (such Investor or Investors, the "Majority
Investors") receive an offer from a third party to purchase or otherwise acquire
at least a majority of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, such Management
Shareholder shall, at the request of such Majority Investors, be required to
Transfer that percentage of his or her vested Preferred Shares and that
percentage of his or her vested Ordinary Shares equal to the percentage of the
Preferred Shares and/or Ordinary Shares (as the case may be) held by the
Majority Investors being transferred at the same price per Preferred Share
and/or Ordinary Share (as the case may be) and upon the terms, conditions, and
provisions, if any, of the offer so accepted by the Majority Investors,
including making the same representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities
and agreements that the Majority Investors

                                                                              11

agree to make (except that, in the case of representations, warranties,
conditions, covenants, indemnities and agreements pertaining specifically to the
Majority Investors, each such Management Shareholder shall make the comparable
representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements and shall
agree to comparable conditions, in each case to the extent applicable and
pertaining specifically to itself and only to itself); provided that all
representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements (other than
those referred to in the immediately preceding exception) shall be made by each
Majority Investor and each such Management Shareholder severally and not jointly
and that any liability of the Majority Investor and such Management Shareholders
thereunder shall be borne by each of them on a pro rata basis determined
according to the number of Shares sold by each of them. In the event that any
such Transfer is structured as a merger, consolidation or similar business
combination, each such Management Shareholder agrees to vote in favor of the
transaction and take all action to waive any dissenters, appraisal or other
similar rights.

         2.6   Rights of First Refusal. (a) If, following the Transfer
               -----------------------
Restriction Termination Date and prior to an initial Public Offering, a
Management Shareholder (for this purpose, an "Offeree") receives a bona fide
offer to purchase any or all of his or her Shares that are not subject to a
Restricted Share Agreement or which have vested pursuant to the applicable
Restricted Share Agreement (in each case, the "Offer") from a Third Party (the
"Offeror"), which Offer such Management Shareholder wishes to accept and that
could be consummated without violating the terms of this Agreement, then (i) the
Offeree shall cause the Offer to be reduced to writing and shall notify the
Company in writing of his or her wish to accept the Offer (the "Sale Notice"),
(ii) the Company or its designee(s) shall have the right to purchase all (but
not less than all) of such Shares pursuant to this Section 2.6 and (iii) the
Offeree agrees not to sell such Shares prior to the earlier of (a) the 30-day
period set forth in the second succeeding paragraph of this Section 2.6(a) and
(b) the communication to the Offeree of the decision by the Company to not
purchase any or all of such Shares.

                  The Sale Notice shall contain an irrevocable offer to sell
such Shares to the Company or its designee(s) in the manner set forth in this
Section 2.6(a) at a purchase price equal to the price contained in and otherwise
on substantially the same terms, conditions and other provisions of the Offer
and shall be accompanied by a true and complete written copy of the Offer (which
shall identify the Offeror).

                  At any time within 30 days from the date of the receipt by the
Company of the Sale Notice, the Company shall have the option to purchase, or to
arrange for one or more Persons designated by the Company to purchase, all (but
not less than all) of the Shares covered by the Offer either (i) for the same
consideration and on substantially the same terms, conditions and other
provisions as the Offer or (ii) if the Offer includes any consideration other
than cash, then, at the sole option of the Company, at the equivalent all cash
price, determined in good faith by the Board, and otherwise on the same terms,
conditions and other provisions as the Offer. The Company agrees to notify the
Offeree as promptly as practicable of its decision regarding the right of first
refusal set forth in this Section 2.6(a) but, in no event, shall it notify the
Offeree later than the end of such 30-day period.

                                                                              12

         (b)   If the option set forth in Section 2.6(a) is exercised by the

Company, the Company (or its designee(s)) shall arrange with the Offeree a
mutually convenient time (not later than ninety (90) days after the date of the
Sale Notice) to consummate such purchase and sale and, at that time, shall pay
to the Offeree cash consideration for the Shares subject to such purchase and
sale, by delivering a certified bank check or checks or by wiring same day funds
upon the instructions of the Offeree in the amount of the purchase price for
such Shares and shall deliver the relevant non-cash consideration, if any, to
the Offeree against delivery to the Company by the Offeree of (i) if the Shares
have been issued in certificated form, certificates representing the Shares
being purchased, appropriately endorsed by the Offeree or (ii) if the Shares
have been issued in book-entry form, instructions regarding the transfer of
registration of the Shares being sold to the Company on the Register.

         (c)  If, at the end of the 30-day period referred to in Section 2.6(a),
the Company (or its designee(s)) has not exercised the right of first refusal in
the manner set forth above, the Offeree may, during the next succeeding 60
Business Days, sell not less than all of the Shares covered by the Offer to the
Offeror at a price and on terms, conditions and other provisions no less
favorable to the Offeree than those contained in the Offer. Promptly after such
sale, (i) the Offeree shall notify the Company of the consummation thereof and
shall furnish such evidence of the completion and time of completion of such
sale and of the terms thereof as may reasonably be requested by the Company and,
thereafter, (ii) the Company shall deliver (A) if the Shares have been issued in
certificated form, new certificates representing the Shares sold to the Offeror
who has purchased such Shares upon delivery of old certificates issued to the
Offeree and representing such Shares or (B) if the Shares have been issued in
book-entry form, notices to the Offeree and the Offeror who has purchased such
Shares of the registration of Transfer of such Shares. If, at the end of the
60-Business Day period referred to in this Section 2.6(c), the Offeree has not
completed the sale of such Shares as aforesaid, all the restrictions on transfer
contained herein shall again be in effect with respect to such Shares.

         2.7   Distributions Upon Initial Public Offering of Designated
               --------------------------------------------------------
Subsidiaries. Upon any distribution contemplated by Section 2.7 of the Investor
------------
Shareholders Agreement where an additional shareholders agreement is entered
into pursuant to Section 2.7, each Management Shareholder shall enter into a
shareholders agreement with the Company having substantially identical terms and
conditions as this Agreement, provided that (i) all references in this Agreement
to the Company shall be changed in such additional shareholders agreement to
references to the relevant Designated Subsidiary (as such term is defined in the
Investor Shareholders Agreement) and (ii) all references in this Agreement to
the Investor Shareholders Agreement shall be changed in such additional
shareholders agreement to the applicable additional shareholders agreement
entered into pursuant to the terms of the Investor Shareholders Agreement.

               -----------
Subsidiaries of any Management Shareholder terminates for any reason (including,
without

limitation, due to death or disability of such Management Shareholder) prior to
the Lapse Date with respect to such Management Shareholder, the Company (or its
designee(s)) shall have the option to purchase (the "Call Rights"), and such
Management Shareholder shall be required to sell to the Company (or to any such
designee(s)), if the Company exercises the Call Rights, any or all Shares held
by such Management Shareholder, at a price per share equal to the applicable
purchase price determined pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof; provided, however,
that in the case of a termination of employment without Cause, a resignation
from employment with Good Reason or the death or disability of the employee, the
Company may exercise its Call Rights only with the approval of one Management
Director (as such term is defined in the Investor Shareholders Agreement).

         (b)  If the Company does not exercise its Call Rights with respect to
such Management Shareholder within 60 days of such Management Shareholder's
termination of employment (other than becasuse of a failure to obtain the
approval of one Management Director as contemplated by the proviso of Section
3.1(a)), then the Investors and the Tier I Senior Managers shall have the same
Call Rights for a period of 30 days effective immediately upon the expiration of
the 60-day period described in this Section 3.1(b). If more than one Investor or
Tier I Senior Manager exercises its Call Rights with respect to such Management
Shareholder, each such Investor or Tier I Senior Manager shall have the right to
purchase the number of such Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of
Shares subject to such Call Rights and (ii) the quotient of (A) such Investor's
or Tier I Senior Manager's percentage ownership in the Ordinary Shares and (B)
the aggregate percentage ownership in the Ordinary Shares of such Investor or
Tier I Senior Manager and all other Investors and Tier I Senior Managers
exercising such Call Rights; provided, that for purposes of determining such
quotient only Ordinary Shares held by Tier I Senior Managers which are not
subject to a Restricted Share Agreement or with respect to which such Tier I
Senior Managers' interests have fully vested as of the date of the exercise of
such Call Rights, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Restricted
Share Agreements, shall be taken into account.

         (c)  Upon the termination of such Management Shareholder's employment,
the Company shall deliver written notice to such Management Shareholder within
60 days (if at all) of such termination indicating its intention to exercise its
Call Rights. The Company's decision whether to exercise its Call Rights in the
case of a termination of employment of a Rollover Management Shareholder without
Cause or for Good Reason shall, subject to the proviso of Section 3.1(a), be
determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board. Any Investor or Tier I
Senior Manager exercising its Call Rights pursuant to Section 3.1(b) hereof
shall deliver written notice to such Management Shareholder of such exercise
within 30 days of the expiration of the 60-day period referred to in Section
3.1(b) hereof.

         (d) Regardless of whether the Company or any of the Investors or Tier I
Senior Managers exercise their respective Call Rights within the period
prescribed by this Section 3.1, if a Management Shareholder continues to own
Shares, then he or she shall continue to be bound by the terms of this
Agreement.

               --------------------------------------
purchase by the Company, any Investor or any Tier I Senior Manager and the sale
by such Management Shareholder pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, then the purchase
price shall be:

         (i)  in the case of a termination of or resignation from employment for
     any reason other than as provided in clauses (ii) and (iii) below, the Fair
     Market Value of the Shares to be purchased on the date on which notice of
     exercise of Call Rights is delivered pursuant to Section 3.1;

         (ii) in the case of a termination of employment for Cause, the lower of
     (a) the Fair Market Value of the Shares to be purchased on the date of
     termination of employment and (b) the original cost at which such
     Management Shareholder acquired such Shares (provided that the original
     cost of (i) any Ordinary Shares acquired on the date hereof shall be deemed
     to be zero and (ii) any Preferred Shares shall be equal to the Liquidation
     Preference (as defined in the articles of association of the Company) in
     respect thereof); or

         (iii) in the case of a termination of employment of a Rollover
     Management Shareholder (but not Management Shareholders who are not
     Rollover Management Shareholders) without Cause or a resignation from
     employment thereby with Good Reason, the higher of (a) the Fair Market
     Value of the Shares to be purchased on the date on which notice of the
     exercise of the Call Rights is delivered pursuant to Section 3.1 and (b)
     the original cost at which such Management Shareholder acquired such Shares
     (provided that the original cost of (i) any Ordinary Shares acquired on the
     date hereof shall be deemed to be zero and (ii) any Preferred Shares shall
     be equal to the Liquidation Preference (as defined in the articles of
     association of the Company) in respect thereof).

                  If the Company, any Investor or any Tier I Senior Manager
purchases Shares from a terminated Management Shareholder pursuant to Section
3.1(a) hereof, the purchasing party shall arrange a mutually convenient time
(not later than ninety (90) days after the effective date of the Management
Shareholder's termination of employment) to consummate such purchase and sale
and, at that time, shall pay such Management Shareholder the purchase price
against delivery by such Management Shareholder of (i) if the Shares have been
issued in certificated form, certificates representing such Shares appropriately
endorsed by such Management Shareholder or (ii) if the Shares have been issued
in book-entry form, instructions from the terminated Management Shareholder to
register the Transfer of Shares effected by the exercise of such Call Right on
the Register. The purchase price for such Shares shall be paid by delivering a
certified bank check or checks or by wiring same day funds upon the instruction
of such Management Shareholder. The Company shall deliver to the terminated
Management Shareholder (i) if the Shares to be purchased have been issued in
certificated form, certificates representing the balance of the Shares held by
such Management Shareholder which remain unsold (if any) after the purchase
pursuant to this Section 3.1 and which otherwise have not been forfeited (if
any) or (ii) if such Shares have been issued in book-entry form, notice to the
terminated Management Shareholder of the registration of Transfer of the Shares
sold to the

Company or the Investors upon the exercise of the Call Rights of such party. In
the event that the Company or any Investor or Tier I Senior Manager exercises
its Call Rights with repect to any Shares held by any Management Shareholder
that have been vested pursuant to a Restricted Share Agreement for less than six
months (the period from the date of such vesting until six months after such
date, the "Custody Period"), the Company shall hold such Shares in custody for
the benefit of such Management Shareholder until the expiration of the Custody
Period with respect to such Shares; provided, however, that such Management
Shareholder shall not have any rights with respect to such Shares (including,
without limitation, any rights to Transfer or vote such Shares). The purchase
and sale of such Shares shall be consummated after the expiration of the Custody
Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Fair
Market Value of any Shares to be purchased after the expiration of any Custody
Period shall be determined as of the date of the consummation of the purchase
and sale of Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
in the event of a termination of employment of a Rollover Management Shareholder
without Cause or for Good Reason, the Call Rights herein provided for will not
apply to any Ordinary Shares other than those issued in respect of the
cancellation of equity interests of Seagate pursuant to the Management
Shareholder's Rollover Agreement with the Company dated November 13, 2000.

                    ARTICLE IV. PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS

         4.1   Piggyback Rights. Each Management Shareholder hereby agrees to be
               ----------------
bound by all of the terms, conditions and obligations of Article III
(Registration Rights) of the Investor Shareholders Agreement and all other
provisions of the Investor Shareholders Agreement (and any subsequent
shareholder agreements entered into pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Investor
Shareholders Agreement) necessary to give effect to Article III thereof. Subject
to the limitations set forth in this Section 4.1, after both (i) the initial
Public Offering by the Company and (ii) the Investors have sold for value to one
or more Third Parties 15% or more of the number of Ordinary Shares owned in the
aggregate by the Investors on the date hereof (as adjusted for any stock
dividends, combinations, splits and the like with respect to such Ordinary
Shares), each Management Shareholder shall have all of the rights and privileges
of Article III of the Investor Shareholders Agreement (other than Section 3.2),
in each case as if the Management Shareholder were an original party (other than
the Company) thereto.

         4.2   Additional Registration Rights. As soon as practicable following
               ------------------------------
a Qualified Public Offering, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts
to register all outstanding options to purchase Shares held by the Management

              --------------------
warrants to the Company that he or she is an "accredited investor" as defined
under Regulation D of the Securities Act.

         (e)  Access to Information, Etc.  Such Management Shareholder
              ---------------------------
represents and acknowledges that:

               (i) he or she has been supplied with, or otherwise has had access
          to, adequate information and the opportunity to ask questions of
          representatives of the Company in order to make his or her own
          independent decision to retain or acquire the Shares in connection
          with this Agreement;

               (ii) the Shares may be required to be held indefinitely and the
          Management Shareholder must continue to bear the economic risk of the
          retention of the Ordinary Shares unless the offer and sale of such
          Shares is subsequently registered under the Securities Act and all
          applicable state securities laws or an exemption or exception from
          such registration is available and the Management Shareholder
          otherwise complies with the terms of this Agreement;

               (iii) there is no market for the Shares and it is not anticipated

               (v) when and if Shares may be Transferred without registration
          under the Securities Act in reliance on Rule 144, such Transfer can be
          made only in limited amounts in accordance with the terms and
          conditions of such Rule;

               (vi) if the exemption provided under Rule 144 is not available,
          the public offer or sale of Shares without registration will require
          compliance with some other exemption or exception under the Securities
          Act and applicable state securities laws;

               (vii) if any of the Shares are at any time Transferred in

                                                                              18

          such other documentation as the Company may reasonably require in
          connection with such sale;

               (viii) a restrictive legend in the form heretofore set forth in
          Section 2.1(c) hereof shall be placed on the certificates representing
          Shares, if such Shares have been issued in certificated form;

               (ix) a notation shall be made in the appropriate records of the
          Company indicating that the Shares are subject to restrictions on
          transfer and, if the Company should at some time in the future engage
          the services of a securities transfer agent, appropriate stop-transfer
          instructions will be issued to such transfer agent with respect to the
          Shares;

               (x) the Management Shareholder's financial situation is such that
          he or she can afford to bear the economic risk of holding the Shares
          for an indefinite period of time, has adequate means for providing for
          his or her current needs and personal contingencies, and can afford to
          suffer a complete loss of his or her retention of the Shares;

               (xi) the Management Shareholder's knowledge and experience in
          financial and business matters are such that he or she is capable of
          evaluating the merits and risks of owning the Shares;

               (xii) the Management Shareholder understands that the Shares are
          securities which involve a high degree of risk (including the risk of
          total loss), there are substantial restrictions on the transferability
          of the Shares, and on the Closing Date and for an indefinite period
          following the Closing Date, there will be no public market for the
          Shares and accordingly it may not be possible for the Management
          Shareholder to liquidate his or her Shares, including in case of
          emergency, if at all;

               (xiii) the Management Shareholder understands and has taken
          cognizance of all the risk factors related to the purchase of the
          Shares, and no representations or warranties have been made to the
          Management Shareholder or his or her representatives concerning the
          Shares, these risks, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their
          prospects or other related matters;

               (xiv) in making his or her election to retain or acquire Shares,
          the Management Shareholder has relied upon independent investigations
          made by him or her and, to the extent believed by the Management
          Shareholder to be appropriate, his or her representatives, including
          his or her own professional, legal, financial, tax and other advisors;
          and

               (xv) he or she has elected to retain or acquire Shares solely for
          investment purposes for his or her own account and not as a nominee or
          agent for

<PAGE>
                                                                              19

          any other person and not with a view to, or for resale in connection
          with, the distribution or other disposition thereof; provided that
          this last representation does not prejudice the right of any
          Management Shareholder to Transfer Shares in compliance with the terms
          of this Agreement, the Securities Act and applicable state securities
          laws.

                           LOAN MODIFICATION AGREEMENT

         This Loan Modification Agreement is entered into as of December 19,
2000, by and between T/R Systems, Inc. (the "Borrower") and Silicon Valley Bank
a California chartered bank doing business in Massachusetts as Silicon Valley
East ("Bank").

1.       DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS: Among other indebtedness which
may be owing by Borrower to Bank, Borrower is indebted to Bank pursuant to,
among other documents, a Promissory Note and Loan and Security Agreement dated
October 17, 1997, as amended (collectively, the "Loan Agreement"). The Loan
Agreement provided for, among other things, a Committed Revolving Line in the
original principal amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000). The Loan
Agreement was modified, pursuant to, among other documents, a Fourth Loan
Modification Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the Committed
Revolving Line was increased to Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000). Defined
terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as in
the Loan Agreement.

Hereinafter, all indebtedness owing by Borrower to Bank shall be referred to as
the "Indebtedness."

2.       DESCRIPTION OF COLLATERAL. Repayment of the Indebtedness is secured by
the Collateral as described in the Loan Agreement.

Hereinafter, the above-described security documents and guaranties, together
with all other documents securing repayment of the Indebtedness shall be
referred to as the "Security Documents". Hereinafter, the Security Documents,
together with all other documents evidencing or securing the Indebtedness shall
be referred to as the "Existing Loan Documents".

3.       DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE IN TERMS.

         A.       Modification(s) to Loan Agreement.

                  1.       Subparagraph (f) of Section 6.3 of the Loan Agreement
                           is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with
                           the following:

                           "(f) at such times as Advances are outstanding, or
                           prior to an Advance if no Advances are outstanding,
                           within thirty (30) days after the last day of each
                           month, a Borrowing Base Certificate signed by a
                           Responsible Officer in substantially the form of
                           Exhibit C hereto, together with aged listings of
                           accounts receivable."

4.       CONSISTENT CHANGES. The Existing Loan Documents are hereby amended
wherever necessary to reflect the changes described above.

5.       NO DEFENSES OF BORROWER. Borrower (and each guarantor and pledgor
signing below) agrees that, as of the date hereof, it has no defenses against
the obligations to pay any amounts under the Indebtedness.

6.       CONTINUING VALIDITY. Borrower (and each guarantor and pledgor signing
below) understands and agrees that in modifying the existing Indebtedness, Bank
is relying upon Borrower's representations, warranties, and agreements, as set
forth in the Existing Loan Documents. Except as expressly modified pursuant to
this Loan Modification Agreement, the terms of the Existing Loan Documents
remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Bank's agreement to modifications
to the existing Indebtedness pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement in no
way shall obligate Bank to make any future modifications to the Indebtedness.
Nothing in this Loan Modification Agreement shall constitute a satisfaction of
the Indebtedness. It is the intention of Bank and Borrower to retain as liable
parties all makers and endorsers of Existing Loan Documents, unless the party is
expressly released by Bank in writing. No maker, endorser, or guarantor will be
released by virtue of this Loan Modification Agreement. The terms of this
paragraph apply not only to this Loan Modification Agreement, but also to all
subsequent loan modification agreements.

written above.
