The Existing Note, together with this Amendment shall collectively be referred to as the "Note."

1. Defined Terms. All capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Existing Note.

2. Additional Principal; Amendments.

a. Additional Principal. Holder hereby agrees to loan to Borrower an additional $12,223, thereby increasing the face amount of the Note to $132,223 (the "Additional Principal"); provided, however, that the Additional Principal carries an original issue discount of $1,223 to cover the Holder's monitoring costs associated with the Existing Note and the Additional Principal, which is included in the Additional Principal balance, and which such amount of original issue discount will not be disbursed to Borrower.

b. Amendments. Any reference made in the Existing Note or in any Transaction Document to the "Principal" is hereby deemed to mean "the sum of US$132,223.00."
