WHEREAS, as a condition to granting the extension of the term of the Note and the other amendments contained herein, Lender is requiring and Borrower is agreeing to cross-default and cross-collateralize the loan evidenced by the Note (the “Gwinnett Loan”) with the Forsyth Loan (as defined below); and

WHEREAS, Lender desires that Guarantor acknowledge and consent to the foregoing and the modification of the documents described herein and that Guarantor ratify and confirm its obligation as a guarantor of the Note.

NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the sum of TEN AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($10.00) in hand paid, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, Borrower, Guarantor and Lender hereby agree as follows:

1. Modification of Note. The Note is hereby modified and amended as follows:

1.1

The fourth and eighth paragraphs on the first page of the Note entitled INTEREST RATE and REPAYMENT TERMS are hereby deleted and substituted in lieu thereof shall be the following:

INTEREST RATE. Interest shall be charged on the outstanding principal balance as follows (as applicable, “Interest Rate”), all as determined by Bank prior to the commencement of each Interest Period (defined below):

(A)

from the date hereof until July 31, 2008 at a rate equal to three and fifty one-hundredths percent (3.5%) per annum plus the greater of

(x) the Monthly LIBOR Index Rate (defined below) or (y) the LIBOR Floor (defined below); and

(B)

from August 1, 2008 to October 31, 2008 at a rate equal to three and seventy-five one hundredths percent (3.75%) per annum plus the greater of (x) the Monthly LIBOR Index Rate or (y) the LIBOR Floor; and

(C)

from November 1, 2008 to January 31, 2009 at a rate equal to four percent (4.00%) per annum plus the greater of (x) the Monthly LIBOR Index Rate or (y) the LIBOR Floor; and

(D)

from February 1, 2009 to April 30, 2009 at a rate equal to four and twenty-five one hundredths percent (4.25%) per annum plus the greater of (x) the Monthly LIBOR Index Rate or (y) the LIBOR Floor.

Interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360 day year. The applicable Interest Rate shall remain in effect, subject to the provisions hereof, from and including the first day of the Interest Period to and excluding the last day of the Interest Period for which it is determined. For purposes hereof, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“ LIBOR Floor” shall mean a rate of 2.75%.

“Monthly LIBOR Index Rate” means a rate per annum for U.S. dollar deposits for a one (1) month maturity as reported on Telerate page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the second London business day before the relevant Interest Period begins (or if not so reported, then as determined by the Bank from another recognized source or interbank quotation).

“Interest Period” means, initially, the period commencing on (and including) April 28, 2008 and ending on (but excluding) the first Payment Date (as hereinafter defined), and thereafter, each period commencing on (and including) the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period and ending on (but excluding) the next Payment Date, provided, (i) any Interest Period that would otherwise end on (but exclude) a day which is not a New York business day shall be extended to the next succeeding New York business day, and (ii) any Interest Period that would otherwise extend past the Maturity Date shall end on (but exclude) the Maturity Date.

REPAYMENT TERMS. This Note shall be due and payable in consecutive monthly payments of accrued interest only, commencing on

May 6, 2008, and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter (each, a “Payment Date”) until fully paid. In any event, all principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable on April 30, 2009.”

1.2

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if during any Interest Period (as defined in the Note), Borrower satisfies the Reduction Condition (as defined below), the applicable Interest Rate for the remainder of such Interest Period and any future Interest Period will be reduced by fifty one hundredths percent (0.50%) per annum. As used herein, the term “Reduction Condition” means that Borrower has made a payment (or series of payments) to Lender that has reduced the aggregate principal balance of the Forsyth Loan and the Gwinnett Loan to $9,252,000.00 or less.

1.3

As consideration for the extension of the term of the Note, (i) on the date hereof, Borrower has paid Lender an extension fee in the amount of Forty Thousand Eight Hundred Seventy-Five and No/100 Dollars ($40,875.00); and (ii) unless the Gwinnett Loan has been repaid in full, on or before October 31, 2008, Borrower shall pay Lender an additional extension fee (the “Additional Fee”), which shall be the lesser of (A) Forty Thousand Eight Hundred Seventy-Five and No/100 Dollars ($40,875.00) or (B) an amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Gwinnett Loan as of October 31, 2008 multiplied by 0.005. The Additional Fee will be secured by the Security Deed. Borrower’s failure to timely make the payment described in clause (ii) above will be an Event of Default under the Security Deed, and after October 31, 2008, interest will accrue on any unpaid portion of the Additional Fee at the default rate stated in the Note.

1.4

The Note may be prepaid at any time, in whole or in part, without penalty or premium.

1.5

Except as specifically modified and amended, all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Note shall remain in full force and effect.

2. Modification of Security Deed. The Security Deed is hereby modified and amended as follows:

2.1

All references in the Security Deed to March 31, 2008 as the maturity date of the Note are hereby deleted and substituted in lieu thereof shall be the date April 30, 2009.

2.2

Except as specifically modified and amended, all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Security Deed shall remain in full force and effect.

3. Modification of Loan Documents. The Loan Documents are hereby modified and amended as follows:

3.1

The terms “Note” and “Security Deed” as such terms may be used in the Loan Documents shall mean the Note, and the Security Deed, as modified and amended hereby.

3.2

Except as specifically modified and amended, all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.

4. Modification of Guaranty. The Guaranty is hereby modified and amended as follows:

4.1

The terms “Note” and “Loan Documents” as such terms may be used in the Guaranty shall mean the Note and the Loan Documents, as modified and amended hereby.

4.2

Except as specifically modified and amended, all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect.

5. Cross-Default and Cross-Collateralization of Loans.

5.1

In addition to the “Property” as defined in and encumbered by the Security Deed, the Borrower also owns the Forsyth Parcel (as defined below) and the Fulton Parcel (as defined below) (the Forsyth Parcel, the Fulton Parcel and the Property are referred to herein individually as a “Borrower Property” and collectively as the “Borrower’s Properties”). The Lender has extended to Borrower an additional loan in the original principal amount of $4,077,000.00 (the “Forsyth Loan”) to the Borrower, such loan being secured by a deed to secure debt (the “Forsyth Security Deed”) encumbering the Forsyth Parcel. In conjunction with the parties’ execution and delivery of this Agreement, Borrower has also executed and delivered as additional collateral for both the Gwinnett Loan and the Forsyth Loan a deed to secure debt (the “Fulton Security Deed”) encumbering the Fulton Parcel (as defined below).

5.2

In addition to the obligations secured by the Security Deed and described as “Obligations” therein, the Security Deed also secures the payment and performance of all obligations (the “Other Obligations”) secured by (i) that certain deed to secure debt (the “Forsyth Security Deed”) made by Borrower, as grantor, to Lender, dated as of January 31, 2006 and recorded in the Office of the Clerk of the Superior Court of Forsyth County, state of Georgia, in Deed Book 4148, Page 600, as amended; and (ii) that certain deed to secure debt (“Fulton Security Deed”) made by Borrower, as grantor, to Lender, dated as of even date herewith and to be recorded in the Office of the Clerk of the Superior Court of Fulton County, state of Georgia, on or about the date hereof. The Forsyth Security Deed and the Fulton Security Deed are referred to herein either individually or

collectively, as indicated by the context, as the “Other Security Deed”. The documents, instruments and agreements executed by the Borrower in connection with the Other Obligations including, without limitation the Forsyth Security Deed and the Fulton Security Deed, are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Other Loan Documents”.

5.4

In addition to the obligations secured by the Other Security Deed, the Other Security Deed shall also secure the payment and performance of all obligations secured by the Security Deed.

5.5

Borrower represents and warrants that the lien and security title of the Other Security Deed is a first lien and security title on the property described therein and covered thereby and that the provisions of this Security Deed will not cause intervening liens to become prior to the lien and security title of the Other Security Deed. If any intervening lien exists or hereafter arises, Borrower shall cause the same to be released or subordinated to the lien and security title of the Other Security Deed, without limiting any other right or remedy available to Lender.

5.6

Except as supplemented and/or modified by this Security Deed, all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Other Security Deed and the Other Loan Documents executed in connection therewith shall remain in full force and effect.

5.7

Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that: the Security Deed shall constitute a lien, security title or charge upon only that property described in the Security Deed as the “Property”; the Forsyth Security Deed shall constitute a lien, security title or charge upon only that property described therein as the “Mortgaged Property”; and the Fulton Security Deed shall constitute a lien, security title or charge upon only that property described therein as the “Property”.

5.8

The Borrower hereby agrees and consents that the occurrence of an “Event of Default” under the Forsyth Security Deed or a “Default” under the Fulton Security Deed will be at Lender’s option a “Default” under the Security Deed, and no notice will be required to be given to the Borrower in connection therewith. In the event of an “Event of Default” under the Forsyth Security Deed or a “Default” under the Fulton Security Deed, the Lender shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to exercise any and all of its rights and remedies contained in or arising under the Security Deed and the other Loan Documents with regard to any or all of the Borrower’s Properties, including, but not limited to, an acceleration of the indebtedness secured by the Security Deed and the sale of one or all of the Borrower’s Properties in accordance with the terms of the Security Deed. No notice, except as may be required by the Security Deed, will be

required to be given to the Borrower in connection with the Lender’s exercise of any and all of its rights and remedies after a Default has occurred.

5.9

Borrower waives all rights to have all or part of the “Property” described in the Security Deed, the “Mortgaged Property” described in the Forsyth Security Deed or the “Property” described in the Fulton Security Deed marshaled upon any foreclosure of the Security Deed, the Forsyth Security Deed or the Fulton Security Deed. Lender shall have the right to sell, and any court in which foreclosure proceedings may be brought shall have the right to order a sale of the Mortgaged Property and Property described in either or all of said deeds to secure debt as a whole or in separate parcels, in any order that Lender may designate. Borrower makes this waiver for itself, for all persons and entities claiming through or under Borrower and for persons and entities who may acquire a security title, lien or security interest on all or any part of the Mortgaged Property and Property described in any of said deeds to secure debt, or on any interest therein.

5.10

Upon a request from Borrower asking the Lender to consent to release of one or more of the Borrower’s Properties from the cross-default and cross-collateral provisions of this Agreement, subject to sub-Paragraph 5.11 below, Lender will consent to release a Borrower’s Property from the cross-default and cross-collateral provisions of this Paragraph 5 upon (i) the payment of the applicable Release Price (as defined below) and (ii) satisfaction of all of the Release Conditions described in sub-Paragraph 5.11 below. Any sum received by Lender in connection with a release of the Forsyth Parcel shall be applied to the indebtedness secured by the Forsyth Loan Documents, any sum received by Lender in connection with a release of the Gwinnett Parcel shall be applied to the indebtedness secured by the Gwinnett Loan Documents, and sixty-seven percent (67%) of any sum received by Bank in connection with a release of the Fulton Parcel shall be applied to the indebtedness secured by the Gwinnett Loan Documents and the remainder of such sum received by the Bank shall be applied to the indebtedness secured by the Forsyth Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any provision of this Paragraph 5 to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be permitted to request a release of any of the Borrower’s Properties from the cross-default and cross-collateral provisions of this Paragraph 5, if at the time of such request, a “Default” or “Event of Default” exists under either the Forsyth Loan or the Gwinnett Loan. No release of any of the Borrower’s Properties from the cross-default and cross-collateral provisions of this Paragraph 5 shall be permitted by Lender unless Borrower has paid all costs and expenses of Lender incurred in connection with its processing of the requested release, including, without limitation, all title endorsement premiums, recording fees, inspection fees, and attorney fees.

5.11

(iii) Borrower shall give Lender written notice of its desire to obtain each such release, which written notice must be received by Lender no later than five (5) days prior to the date on which each such release is to be effected; and
