By this letter, ShoreBank Pacific ("Bank") hereby notifies Paneltech Products, Inc. ("Borrower"), that it was in default under the Business Loan Agreement dated January 26, 2001, as amended ("Loan Agreement") because it had violated certain conditions in the Loan Agreement.

Accordingly, as of 2/28/2010 these conditions were breached. As a result, Borrower was also in default under the Promissory Note ("Note") of the same date..

(1.) | The Borrower acknowledges that it is in default under the Loan Agreement and the Note for the reasons stated herein, and has no defense to any action to enforce the Loan Agreement or Note, nor any claim by which to assert as a setoff against the Indebtedness. |

(4.) | The Borrower acknowledges that this Forbearance Agreement, the Loan Agreement, and the Related Documents are the only agreements between the parties, and that there are no other agreements, promises, representations, or understandings between the parties, either written or oral, other than what is expressed in this Forbearance Agreement, the Loan Agreement, and the Related Documents. |
(5.) | The Borrower agrees that the Loan Agreement and Related Documents remain in full force and effect and that this Forbearance Agreement shall not be deemed to operate as a waiver of any of the Bank's rights and remedies thereunder. |
Please execute and return this original, together with the March 26, 2010 executed Change in Terms Agreement and associated fee. Borrower's signature in the space provided below shall operate as the unconditional acceptance of the above terms and conditions.
