The Term Loan and the obligations and liabilities incurred by Borrower to the Bank in connection therewith are secured by, among other things, a certain Mortgage, Security Agreement and Assignment dated June 28, 2007 (as amended, modified or supplemented, the “Mortgage”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Borrower has granted the Bank a first priority lien and security interest in and to the Mortgaged Premises.

5.5 Amendment and Modification of the Modification Agreement. The requirement that the Bank release the cross-collateralization, in one direction, if Borrower satisfied certain financial conditions is eliminated. Specifically, the Modification Agreement is hereby modified and amended by deleting Section 7.1 in its entirety and substituting in its place and stead the following:
“7.1 Cross-Default and Cross-Collateralization. The Obligors acknowledge and agree that the Loans are cross defaulted and that the Bank is empowered and authorized to exercise all of its rights and remedies upon the occurrence of a default or Event of Default under either of them, and that the Term Loan is cross-collateralized with the Line of Credit such that the collateral granted to the Bank to secure the Line of Credit secures the indebtedness under the Term Loan. The Obligors shall execute and furnish to the Bank, upon its request, with such additional documents and instruments as the Bank may require to further confirm or otherwise further effect the cross-defaulted, cross- collateralized status of the Loans, including, but not limited to, ratifications, modifications and/or amendments of any of the Loan Documents.”
