THEREFORE, WITNESSETH, that for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Borrower and Bank hereby agree as follows:

1.
All of the recitals set forth hereinabove are true and accurate.

2.
The Expiration Date is hereby extended from November 14, 2008 to October 14, 2009.

3.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Agreements, Notes or any other Loan Documents, the maximum aggregate amount available to the Borrower under the Notes shall be the lesser of: (a) $27,500,000, (b) 80% of the aggregate amount of the values of the Real Property established by the Bank based in part on the last acceptable appraised fair market value or "Validated FMV"** of the Real Property securing the Notes with stores located thereon which have not been closed for business by the Tenant to the public for more than 12 months, or (c) 100% of the principal amount outstanding on the Purchased Loans that have been assigned to the Bank pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Notes and Documents.

4.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Agreements, Notes, Mortgages, or any other Loan Documents evidencing, securing or otherwise pertaining to any of the Notes, or that certain Consent and Adjustment of Lien Priority Agreement dated the 15th day of May, 2007, the priority of all Liens that the Bank has on the real and/or personal property conveyed pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Notes and Documents, the Mortgages, the Lease Assignments, the Reserve Fund Account Assignment or any other Loan Documents securing any of the Notes shall be treated and recognized as a shared perfected first lien with parity and equal dignity securing all of the Notes (i.e. Hereafter, the Bank shall be deemed to have a perfected first lien on all collateral securing the Notes).

**
Note:  In accordance with that certain letter agreement dated July 14, 2008, from the Bank to the Borrower pertaining to the renewal of the loans evidenced by the Notes, updated appraisals were ordered on several parcels of the Real Property, six of which have not yet been received (i.e. Store Nos. 303 (N. Eaton, Tx.), 1929 (Garland, Tx.), 1902 (Austin, Tx.), 1933 (Conroe, Tx.), 357 (Lancaster, Oh.) and 2009 (Henderson, Co.)). After the review and approval of such appraisals by the Bank, the values of the Real Property may be adjusted by the Bank to account for any changes in value of the Real Property appraised. This adjustment process by the Bank shall establish the "Validated FMV" for similar properties which were not recently appraised. This validation process was agreed to by the parties hereto rather than obtaining current appraisals on all parcels of the Real Property. Accordingly, the availability under the Notes may be adjusted after the Bank has reviewed the appraised values established by the current appraisals and established the 'Validated FMV" for the various parcels of Real Property.

 
 

 

 
In conjunction with this Agreement, the Bank shall have received Mortgages, which shall convey a shared first lien on the Borrower's fee simple estate in the Real Property securing the 2003 Notes to secure the 2005 Note and 2007 Note, together with evidence satisfactory to Bank and counsel for Bank that the Mortgages have been recorded and filed in the appropriate public offices and that there are no Liens on the Real Property other than those securing the Bank. The parties hereto agree to treat and recognize all Liens securing the Bank as being equal, and having parity and a shared first perfected lien position notwithstanding the order of perfection.
