          2.           From the date hereof, Borrower promises to pay to Lender the Principal Amount (as herein modified), together with interest thereon, and to perform all of the Obligations under the Loan Documents (as hereby modified) including, without limitation the payment of all outstanding principal together with all accrued but unpaid interest on the Maturity Date (as defined in both the Note and Security Agreement).

Further, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that Borrower shall not sell, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of any of the Property without Lender’s prior written consent (except as otherwise permitted under the Security Agreement), and, in the event such consent by Lender is given, Borrower shall provide Lender with such additional security with respect to the Obligations as Lender shall require in its sole and absolute discretion.

          5.           Borrower hereby renews, but does not extinguish, the Note, Loan, and the liens and security interests created and evidenced by the Security Agreement and all other liens and

4


security interests securing the Note (including, without limitation, any vendor’s lien), and Borrower promises to pay to the order of Lender, the principal sum of the Loan evidenced by the Note, or so much thereof as may be advanced and outstanding, together with interest at the rate and in the manner specified in the Note, as modified herein, and to observe, comply with and perform each and every of the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents as herein modified.

          6.           Borrower hereby reaffirms the liens on the Property and any other liens securing the Note and/or Loan until the indebtedness and the Note and Loan as modified and renewed hereby has been fully paid, and agrees that the modification set forth herein shall in no manner affect or impair the Note, Loan, or the liens securing the same, and that said liens shall not in any manner be waived, the purpose of this instrument being simply to modify the Security Agreement (and other Loan Documents, as appropriate) and to carry forward all liens securing the same, which are acknowledged by Borrower to be valid and subsisting.

Borrower further represents and warrants that, except as disclosed in writing to Lender, it has done nothing, nor has allowed anything, to adversely affect title to or encumber the Property or any other property of Borrower in which Lender has a security interest. Borrower further represents and warrants to Lender that it is aware of no condition or fact, which has not been disclosed in writing to Lender, which would materially adversely affect the repayment to Lender of all sums due under the Note, Security Agreement, and other Loan Documents.

          8.           Borrower, for it and its successors, assigns, and representatives does hereby waive, release, and discharge Lender and its agents, employees, officers, directors, and attorneys (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all of Lender’s duties, obligations, and liabilities arising under, based upon or associated with, directly or

5


indirectly, the Loan, the Note, Security Agreement, First Modification, and any Loan Documents, existing as of the date of this Modification, and further does hereby waive any and all claims and causes of action of any kind or character, arising under, based upon, or associated with, directly or indirectly, the Loan Documents or the acts, actions, or omissions of the Released Parties in connection therewith, existing as of the date hereof, whether known or unknown, asserted or unasserted, equitable or at law, arising under or pursuant to common or statutory law, rules, or regulations.

          9.           Borrower hereby ratifies, reaffirms and confirms any and all covenants, agreements, or promises heretofore made by Borrower to Lender in connection with the Loan, Note, Security Agreement, or other Loan Documents, and all renewals thereof, including as hereby modified.

          10.         Borrower agrees, simultaneously with and as a condition precedent to the execution hereof, to pay to Lender a non-refundable credit facility fee in the amount of $5,000.00 (representing 0.125% of the $4,000,000.00 amount of the increased availability under the Revolving Line [as defined in the Security Agreement]), as well as all costs and expenses of Lender incurred in connection with the preparation and administration of this Modification, including, the cost of any recording fees and charges associated with the Security Agreement and/or other Loan Documents, and Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses.

          11.         It is hereby agreed and acknowledged that other parties, if any, who are liable in any part for the Obligations, including, without limitation, Zunicom, Inc., a Texas corporation, in its capacity as guarantor of the Loan and Obligations, are in no way released or discharged from such Obligations, nor are Lender’s rights against such persons or entities waived or negatively impacted by the execution of this Modification.

          12.         The parties agree that all clauses contained in the Loan Documents which relate to the payment, application, and spreading of interest received by Lender which may be greater than the maximum amount allowed by applicable law, shall remain in full force and effect and by this reference be fully incorporated herein.

          13.         If any provision of this Modification or application to any party or circumstance shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid and unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Modification or the application of such provision to such person or circumstances, other than those as to which it is so determined invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision hereof shall be valid and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

          14.         Except as amended hereby, the Note, Security Agreement, First Modification, and other Loan Documents remain unmodified and in full force and effect.

          15.         THE LOAN, NOTE, SECURITY AGREEMENT, FIRST MODIFICAITON, AND OTHER WRITTEN LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS MODIFIED BY THIS MODIFICATION, REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN BORROWER AND LENDER, AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR,
