As a condition to the effectiveness of the Original Loan Agreement and to extensions of credit thereunder, the Lender required that the Grantor execute and deliver to the Lender that certain Security Agreement dated as of even date with the Original Loan Agreement (the “Original Agreement”) in favor of the Lender and pursuant to which, among other things, the Grantor granted to the Lender a security interest in the “Collateral” described therein.

C. As a condition to the effectiveness of that certain letter amendment dated as of even date herewith among the Borrowers and the Lender further amending the Original Loan Agreement (the Original Loan Agreement as so amended and as it may be further amended, modified, supplemented, increased or restated from time to time being, the “Loan Agreement”), the Lender requires that the Grantor execute and deliver this Amendment.

D. Grantor has determined that the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment are in its best business and pecuniary interest.
