NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:

1. Recitals. The above Recitals are true and correct and by this reference are incorporated herein.

2. Loan and Note Terms. The Lender has made the Renewal RLOC Loan in the amount of $5,000,000.00 effective as of the date stated herein.
