1.

Section 3 of the Supplement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:


SECTION 3.

Term.  The term of the Commitment shall be from the date hereof, up to and including April 15, 2008, or such later date as Agent may, in its sole discretion, authorize in writing.

3.

Section 13(A) of the Supplement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:


SECTION 13.

Casualties.


(A)

Right to Elect To Apply Proceeds.  In case of material loss or damage to the Property or to the Improvements by fire, by a taking by condemnation for public use or the action of any governmental authority or agency, or the transfer by private sale in lieu thereof, either temporarily or permanently, or otherwise, if in the sole judgment of Agent there is reasonable doubt as to Company's ability to complete construction of the Improvements on or before March 26, 2008, by reason of such loss or damage or because of delays in making settlements with governmental agencies or authorities or with insurers, Agent may terminate its obligations to make advances hereunder and elect to collect, retain and apply to the Commitment all proceeds of the taking or insurance after deduction of all expense of collection and settlement, including attorneys' and adjusters' fees and charges.  In the event such proceeds are insufficient to pay the Commitment in full, Agent may declare the balance remaining unpaid on the Commitment to be due and payable forthwith and avail itself on any of the remedies afforded thereby as in any case of default.

Except as set forth in this amendment, the Supplement, including all amendments thereto, shall continue in full force and effect as written.
