Recitals

A. Bank and Borrower have entered into that certain Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated July 23, 2009 (as the same may from time to time be further amended, modified, supplemented or restated, the “Loan Agreement”).

B. Bank has extended credit to Borrower for the purposes permitted in the Loan Agreement.

C. Borrower is currently in default of the Loan Agreement for failing to comply with the Minimum Collateral Value Ratio set forth in Section 6.8(b) for the calendar quarter ended December 31, 2009 (the “Existing Event of Default”).

E. Bank has agreed to waive the Existing Event of Default and consent to the Xxxxx Fargo Lien, on the condition, among others, that Borrower enter into this Agreement, but only to the extent, in accordance with the terms, subject to the conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth below.

Agreement

Now, Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement.

2. Grant of Security Interest. Borrower hereby grants to Bank to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Bank the Clearing Account. From and after the date of this Agreement, all references in the Loan Agreement to “Collateral” shall be deemed to include the Clearing Account subject to the existing rights of (i) the Investors to “Investor Collateral” (as such term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), (ii) Infinity Resources, LLC to the extent set forth in those certain Declarations of Trust between Borrower and Infinity Resources, LLC dated April 14, 2010 and July 31, 2009 provided that such Declarations of Trust shall not be amended without the prior written consent of Bank, and (iii) only to the extent of Borrower’s ownership interest in the Clearing Account.
