Modification to Promissory Note:

1. Interest Rate. Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of the Promissory Note outstanding from time to time until the Maturity Date at a floating rate per annum equal to the rate announced by Bank of America, N.A., its successors and assigns, from time to time, as its "Prime Rate" (herein known as the "lndex"), minus one-quarter of one percent (.25%). Adjustments due to changes in the Index are to be made on the effective date of any change in the Index. In no event shall the interest charged or paid hereunder exceed the highest maximum rate allowed by applicable law ("Highest Lawful Rate"). The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans and Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this note, Lender may designate a substitute index after notice to Borrower. Lender will provide Borrower with the current Index rate upon Borrower's request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at no time shall the interest charged be less than four percent (4%) per annum, nor more than the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the Highest Lawful Rate.

2. Maturity Date. The "Maturity Date", as defined in the Promissory Note, the Loan Agreement, and all Collateral Documents, is hereby modified by deleting May 1,
2019, and substituting May 1, 2022.

under the terms of the Promissory Note and, further, Borrower hereby reaffirms all terms, conditions, and obligations of Borrower contained in the Promissory Note, the Loan
Agreement, and the Collateral Documents, and all ancillary documents thereto, except as modified herein. Borrower agrees that such modification shall in no manner alter, effect,
