The First Amended Note is made pursuant to and secured by the terms of a certain Loan Agreement dated July 7, 2005 (as amended from time to time, the "Loan Agreement"), which Loan Agreement was amended by a certain Modification to Note and Loan Agreement and Reaffirmation of Guaranty (the “First Modification”) dated September 1, 2005, and further amended by a certain Second Modification to Note and Loan Agreement and Reaffirmation of Guaranty dated as of  December 7, 2007 (the “Second Modification” and collectively with this Agreement, the First Amended Note, the Second Amended Note as hereafter defined, the First Modification, the Second Modification, the Guarantees as hereafter defined, and all of the other documents which evidence or secure such Loan, the "Loan Documents");

Borrower has requested that Bank increase the amount of the Loan to be in the amount of up to $30,000,000.00, and make certain modifications to the terms of the Loan Agreement, and Bank has agreed to such requested increase and modifications;

In consideration of such agreement to increase the amount of the Loan and modify the Loan Agreement, each Original Guarantor has agreed to reaffirm its Unconditional Guaranty (collectively, the “Guarantees”), dated July 7, 2005 and December 7, 2007;

Borrower and Original Guarantors have requested that New Guarantors become guarantors of the Loan, and New Guarantors have agreed to become guarantors of the Loan as of the date hereof, and have
agreed to execute and deliver to Bank their Unconditional Guarantees dated as of the date hereof (collectively with the Unconditional Guaranty of the Original Guarantors, individually a “Guaranty” and collectively, the “Guarantees”), on the same terms and conditions as the Original Guarantors, and to secure such Unconditional Guarantees by a grant of a first priority security interest in all of their respective assets, and Bank has consented to such New Guarantors;

In consideration of Bank's agreement to modify the Loan and the other agreements contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

Except as modified hereby, all terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, including without limitation all financial covenants, shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect.

4.  Borrower and Original Guarantors hereby consent to the execution and delivery to Bank of the Unconditional Guarantees by New Guarantors, and agree that such execution and delivery shall not constitute a waiver, release or termination of any of the obligations of Borrower or Original Guarantors to Bank, or a relinquishment of any of the rights or remedies of Bank against Borrower or Original Guarantors.  Borrower and Original Guarantors hereby further acknowledge and agree that Mifflin is no longer in existence as of the date hereof, and agree that Mifflin’s merger into Borrower shall not constitute a waiver, release or termination of any of the obligations of Borrower or Original Guarantors to Bank, or a relinquishment of any of the rights or remedies of Bank against Borrower or Original Guarantors.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS AND REPRESENTATIONS. Borrower and each Guarantor acknowledge and represent that the Second Amended Note, the Loan Agreement, the Guaranty, and all other Loan Documents, as amended hereby, are in full force and effect without any defense, counterclaim, right or claim of set-off; that, after giving effect to this Agreement, no default or event that with the passage of time or giving of notice would constitute a default under the Loan Documents has occurred; that all representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents are true and correct as of this date; that all necessary action to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement has been taken; and that this Agreement is a modification of an existing obligation and is not a novation.

REAFFIRMATION OF GUARANTY.    Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that it has and shall receive direct financial benefit from the Loan and from the modifications set forth herein, and hereby waives any defense it may have to its guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations, as defined in the Guarantees, based upon a lack of or failure of consideration.  Each Guarantor hereby consents to the modifications contained herein and hereby ratifies and confirms: (a) that it unconditionally guarantees to Bank the payment and performance from and by Borrower of the Guaranteed Obligations, as defined in the Guarantees, upon the terms and conditions set forth therein, (b) such Guaranteed Obligations include, without limitation, the Second Amended Note and Loan Agreement as modified hereby, and (c) that their Guarantees shall not be impaired or their liability thereunder reduced as a result of additional guarantors executing guarantees of the Guaranteed Obligations subsequent to the date of their Guarantees.  Each Guarantor acknowledges that their reaffirmation and ratification of their Guarantees is a material inducement for Bank to enter into this Agreement and that Bank would not do so without said reaffirmation and ratification.  This Agreement and the Guarantees are each Guarantor’s valid and binding obligation enforceable against each of them in accordance with their terms.

COLLATERAL. Borrower and each Guarantor acknowledge and confirm that there have been no changes in the ownership of any collateral pledged to secure the Obligations or the Guaranteed Obligations, as defined in the Guaranty (collectively the "Collateral") since the Collateral was originally pledged, and that Borrower has legal title to all Collateral and no Guarantor has legal title to any Collateral; Borrower and each Guarantor acknowledge and confirm that the Bank has existing, valid first priority security interests and liens in the Collateral; and that such security interests and liens shall secure Borrowers’ Obligations to Bank, including any modification of the Note or Loan Agreement made hereunder, and all future modifications, extensions, renewals and/or replacements of any of the Loan Documents.

MISCELLANEOUS.  This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the applicable state as originally provided in the Loan Documents, without reference to that state's conflicts of law principles.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the sole agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersede all oral negotiations and prior writings with respect to the subject matter thereof.  No amendment of this Agreement, and no waiver of any one or more of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless set forth in writing and signed by the parties hereto.  The illegality, unenforceability or inconsistency of any provision of this Agreement shall not in any way affect or impair the legality, enforceability or consistency of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are intended to be consistent.  However, in the event of any inconsistencies among this Agreement and any of the Loan Documents, the terms of this Agreement, and then such Loan Document, shall control.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties on separate counterparts.  Each such counterpart shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one

BORROWER AND EACH GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT MAKES THE FOREGOING WAIVERS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY AFTER CONSULTATION WITH ITS ATTORNEY.

PLACE OF EXECUTION AND DELIVERY.  Borrower and each Guarantor hereby certify that this Agreement and the Loan Documents were executed in the State of New York and delivered to Bank in the State of New York.
