AGREEMENT
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Borrower and Bank agree as follows:
 
1.    Adoption of Recitals.  Borrower hereby represents and warrants that each of the recitals set forth above is true, accurate and complete.
 
2.    Acknowledgment of Debt.  Borrower acknowledges that, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, there are no claims, demands, offsets or defenses at law or in equity that would defeat or diminish Bank's present and unconditional right to collect the indebtedness evidenced by the Amended Note and to proceed to enforce the rights and remedies available to Bank as provided in the Amended Note, Loan Agreement, Security Agreement, Prior Modifications or any other instrument, agreement, or document given in connection with the Line of Credit (collectively the “Loan Documents”) or by law.  Until the Line of Credit is paid in full, interest and other charges shall continue to accrue and shall be due and owing.
 
3.    Representations and Warranties.  Borrower hereby represents and warrants that no material default exists under the Line of Credit and no event of default, breach or failure of condition has occurred or exists, or would exist with notice or lapse of time, or both, under any of the Loan Documents that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change, and all representations and warranties of Borrower in this Third Modification and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Third Modification (other than any such representations and warranties that, by their terms, are specifically made as of a date other than the date hereof) and shall survive the execution of this Third Modification.

2

 
 
 
Revolving Line of Credit.  During the Line of Credit Availability Period and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank will, on a revolving basis, make advances to Borrower (“Line of Credit”), which, except as set forth below, may not at any time exceed an aggregate amount outstanding equal to the lesser of Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000.00) or the Borrowing Base (collectively the “Line of Credit Limit”).  Borrower’s obligation to repay advances under the Line of Credit shall be evidenced by a promissory note in a form acceptable to Bank (the “Line of Credit Note”).  During the Line of Credit Availability Period, Borrower may repay principal amounts and reborrow them.  Borrower agrees that Borrower will not permit the outstanding balance under the Line of Credit to exceed the Line of Credit Limit unless Borrower increases the Restricted Cash Deposit by an amount equal to the sum that would otherwise be overadvanced, in which case Borrower shall have the right to borrow an amount in excess of the Borrowing Base but not more than $30,000,000.00.  Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time, Borrower may request (i) one year extensions of the Line of Credit Availability Period within 390 days of the then applicable Line of Credit Expiration Date, but Bank has no obligation to grant the extension and/or (ii) the addition to Borrower of an additional fund or funds managed by Manager or an Affiliate of Manager acceptable to Bank, but Bank has no obligation to grant the addition and/or (iii) the deletion from Borrower of a fund managed by Manager or an Affiliate of Manager, but Bank has no obligation to grant the deletion.
