---------------
F. The Note, as modified, matured on January 21, 2005.
G. Borrower has requested that Lender modify certain provisions of the
Note, as previously modified, and the Loan Agreement, all as hereinafter
provided, and in consideration thereof Borrower has made certain agreements with

H. Lender has agreed to such requests, subject to the terms and conditions
set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged and agreed, Borrower and Lender hereby agree as follows:
1. Acknowledgment of Outstanding Balance. The parties hereto
----------------------------------------
acknowledge that the outstanding principal balance of the Note as of the
effective date, February 1, 2005, is FOUR MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS ($4,550,000.00).
2. Acknowledgement of Current Interest Rate. The parties hereto
--------------------------------------------
acknowledge that the current interest rate, as of February 1, 2005, computed in
accordance with the terms of the Note, as modified, is eight and one-fourth
percent (8 and 1/4%).
3. Renewal and Extension of Maturity. The Note is hereby renewed and
------------------------------------
the maturity of the Note is hereby extended to August 1, 2005 (the "Revised
-------
Maturity Date").
--------------
4. Required Payments. From and after the effective date of this
------------------
Agreement, principal and interest under the Note shall be due and payable as
follows:
Interest only shall be due and payable monthly as it accrues on the
1st day of each and every calendar month, beginning March 1, 2005, and
continuing regularly and monthly thereafter until August 1, 2005, when
the entire amount hereof, principal and interest then remaining
unpaid, shall be then due and payable; interest being calculated on
the unpaid principal each day principal is outstanding and all
payments made credited to any collection costs and late charges, to
the discharge of interest accrued and to the reduction of the
principal, in such order as Lender shall determine.
5. Maximum Principal Amount. The maximum principal amount of the Note
------------------------
may not exceed $4,550,000.00 after the date hereof.
2
6. Interest Rate. The annual interest rate provided for in the Note
--------------
shall be amended such that interest shall be charged from and after the
effective date of this Agreement as follows:
Interest on the outstanding and unpaid principal balance of this Note shall
be computed at a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (a) a rate equal to
the Prime Rate of Lender, plus three percent (3%) per annum, with said rate
to be adjusted to reflect any change in said Prime Rate at the time of any
such change or (b) the highest rate permitted by applicable law; but in no
event shall interest contracted for, charged or received hereunder plus any
other charges in connection herewith which constitute interest exceed the
maximum interest permitted by applicable law. The "Prime Rate" shall mean
the prime rate of interest charged by Lender as established from time to
time. The Prime Rate is a reference rate and does not necessarily represent
the lowest or best rate actually charged to any customer.
Interest shall be computed on a per annum basis of a year of 360 days and
for the actual number of days elapsed, unless such calculation would result
in a rate greater than the highest rate permitted by applicable law, in
which case interest shall be computed on a per annum basis of a year of 365
days or 366 days in a leap year, as the case may be.
Matured unpaid principal and interest shall bear interest from date of
maturity until paid at (a) the highest rate permitted by applicable law, or (b)
if no such maximum rate is established by applicable law, at the rate stated
above plus five percent (5%) per annum.
7. Usury. No provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents shall
-----
require the payment or permit the collection, application or receipt of interest
in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable state or federal law. If any
excess of interest in such respect is herein or in any such other instrument
provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided for herein or in any
such instrument, the provisions of this paragraph shall govern, and neither
Borrower nor any endorsers of the Note nor their respective successors, assigns
or personal representatives shall be obligated to pay the amount of such
interest to the extent it is in excess of the amount permitted by applicable
law. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and
Lender to at all times comply with the usury and other laws relating to the Loan
Documents and any subsequent revisions, repeals or judicial interpretations
thereof, to the extent applicable thereto. In the event Lender or other holder
of the Note ever receives, collects or applies as interest any such excess, such
amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of
the unpaid principal balance of the Note and, if upon such application the
principal balance of the Note is paid in full, any remaining excess shall be
forthwith paid to Borrower and the provisions of the Loan Documents shall
immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder
reduced, without the necessity of execution of any new document, so as to comply
with the then applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest
amount otherwise called for thereunder. In determining whether or not the
interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the maximum
interest allowed to be charged by applicable law, Borrower and Lender or other
holder hereof shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law,
amortize, prorate, allocate and spread the total amount of interest throughout
the entire term of the Note so that the amount or rate of interest charged for
any and all periods of time during the term
3
of the Note is to the greatest extent possible less than the maximum amount or
rate of interest allowed to be charged by law during the relevant period of
time. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if at any time applicable laws shall
be changed so as to permit a higher rate or amount of interest to be charged
than that permitted prior to such change, then unless prohibited by law,
references in the Note to "applicable law" for purposes of determining the
maximum interest or rate of interest that can be charged shall be deemed to
refer to such applicable law as so amended to allow the greater amount or rate
of interest.
8. RELEASE AND WAIVER OF CLAIMS. IN CONSIDERATION OF (i) THE
--------------------------------
MODIFICATION OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE NOTE, AS HEREIN PROVIDED, AND (ii) THE
OTHER BENEFITS RECEIVED BY BORROWER HEREUNDER, BORROWER HEREBY RELEASES,
RELINQUISHES AND FOREVER DISCHARGES LENDER, AS WELL AS ITS PREDECESSORS,
SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS, AGENTS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND REPRESENTATIVES,

EVERY KIND OR CHARACTER, PAST OR PRESENT, WHICH BORROWER MAY HAVE AGAINST LENDER

EMPLOYEES AND REPRESENTATIVES ARISING OUT OF OR WITH RESPECT TO (a) ANY RIGHT OR
POWER TO BRING ANY CLAIM AGAINST LENDER FOR USURY OR TO PURSUE ANY CAUSE OF
ACTION AGAINST LENDER BASED ON ANY CLAIM OF USURY, AND (b) ANY AND ALL
TRANSACTIONS RELATING TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OCCURRING PRIOR TO THE DATE HEREOF,
INCLUDING ANY LOSS, COST OR DAMAGE, OF ANY LAND OR CHARACTER, ARISING OUT OF OR
IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR IN ANY WAY RESULTING FROM THE ACTS, ACTIONS OR

--------------------------------------
Lender each of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of
Borrower set forth in the Loan Documents.
10. Enforceable Obligations. Borrower hereby ratifies, affirms,

setoff whatsoever with respect to the Note, and Borrower further acknowledges
and represents that no event has occurred and no condition exists which would
constitute a default under the Loan Documents or this Agreement, either with or
without notice or lapse of time, or both.
11. No Release of Liens. This Agreement in no way acts as a release or
--------------------
relinquishment of the liens, security interests and rights (the "Liens") created

herein shall constitute the only evidence of Lender's consent to extend the
terms and provisions of the Loan Documents in the manner set forth herein. No
express or implied consent to any further extensions and/or modifications
involving any of the matters set forth in this Agreement or otherwise, shall be
inferred or implied from Lender's execution of this Agreement. Further,
Lender's execution of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver (either
express or implied) of the requirement that any further extensions and/or
modifications of the Loan Documents shall require the express written approval
of Lender, no such approval (either express or implied) having been given as of
the date hereof.
13. Miscellaneous. (a) As modified hereby, the provisions of the Note

the modification of the Loan Documents including, but not limited to, all

any rights it may have against any person not a party to this Agreement.
(e) In case any of the provisions of this Agreement shall for any
reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such invalidity,
