NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the RFA.

2. Capital Contribution/Initial Payment. Asta shall cause the following transactions to occur:

iv. Immediately after receipt of that equity contribution, Borrower shall make a payment of $15,000,000 (“Initial Payment”) to BMO to reduce the current principal balance of the Loans by the amount of such payment.

3. Payment of Remaining Amount. Notwithstanding any other provision in any Transaction Document (which term includes, without limitation, this Agreement) to the contrary, the Loans and all other Obligations will be deemed to be paid in full upon BMO’s receipt of payments, beginning with payments received by BMO on and after May 1, 2013 (the “Cut-off Date”), equal to $15,000,000 (the “Remaining Amount”) plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

Other than the interest rate set forth in the previous sentence, no other interest or fees whatsoever shall be charged with respect to the Loans, the Remaining Amount or otherwise under the Transaction Documents for any period after the Cut-off Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, Borrower may pay any portion of the Remaining Amount as a voluntary prepayment at any time without fee or premium. For the avoidance of doubt, payments of principal, interest and fees received by BMO from the Servicer on May 10, 2013, June 10, 2013 and July 10, 2013, will be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Remaining Amount and the interest accruing thereon at the rate set forth above.
