In the event that the Secured Guarantor or any entity comprising Borrower shall not have consummated a Change of Control on or before the earlier to occur of the Revolving Line Maturity Date and repayment in full of all Obligations, then on and as of the date of such earlier-to-occur event the Secured Guarantor shall execute and deliver to Bank a Warrant to Purchase Stock in substantially the form attached as Exhibit B hereto (the “Warrant”). Among other things: (i) the initial Warrant Price (as defined in the Warrant) shall be the average of the closing prices of a share of the Class (as defined in the Warrant) for the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of issuance of the Warrant, (ii) the initial number of Shares (as defined in the Warrant) for which the Warrant shall be exercisable shall equal $195,000 divided by the initial Warrant Price, and (iii) the Warrant shall have a term of seven (7) years from the date of issuance, subject to earlier termination in accordance with the provisions thereof.

The Secured Guarantor and Borrower agree that the Warrant shall constitute an Obligation and that the failure of the Secured Guarantor to execute and deliver the Warrant as and when required by this Section 6 shall constitute an Event of Default.

9. ADDITIONAL COVENANTS: RATIFICATION OF PERFECTION CERTIFICATE. Borrower hereby certifies that, other than as disclosed in the Perfection Certificate, no Collateral with a value greater than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) in the aggregate is in the possession of any third party bailee (such as at a warehouse). In the event that Borrower, after the date hereof, intends to store or otherwise deliver the Collateral with a value in excess of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) in the aggregate to such a bailee, then Borrower shall first receive, the prior written consent of Bank and such bailee must acknowledge in writing that the bailee is holding such Collateral for the benefit of Bank. Borrower hereby ratifies, confirms and reaffirms, all and singular, the terms and disclosures contained in a certain Perfection Certificate, dated as of December 19, 2011, and acknowledges, confirms and agrees the disclosures and information above Borrower provided to Bank in such Perfection Certificate remains true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof.

Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that Borrower has no offsets, defenses, claims, or counterclaims against Bank with respect to the Obligations, or otherwise, and that if Borrower now has, or ever did have, any offsets, defenses, claims, or counterclaims against Bank, whether known or unknown, at law or in equity, all of them are hereby expressly WAIVED and Borrower hereby RELEASES Bank from any liability thereunder.

14. CONTINUING VALIDITY. Borrower understands and agrees that in modifying the existing Obligations, Bank is relying upon Borrower’s representations, warranties, and agreements, as set forth in the Existing Loan Documents. Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement, the terms of the Existing Loan Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Bank’s agreement to waive the Existing Default pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement in no way shall obligate Bank to make any future waivers or any other modifications to the Obligations. Nothing in this Loan Modification Agreement shall constitute a satisfaction of the Obligations. It is the intention of Bank and Borrower to retain as liable parties all makers of Existing Loan Documents, unless the party is expressly released by Bank in writing. No maker will be released by virtue of this Loan Modification Agreement.

15. JURISDICTION/VENUE. Section 11 of the Loan Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference.
