on its balance sheet at January 31, 2001 the sum of One Million
Four Hundred Forty-two Thousand Two Hundred Eighty-five and
01/100 Dollars ($1,442,285.01) (after giving effect to a Special
Payment made by Borrower pursuant to the Third Amendment to Loan
Agreement) as a liability to Lender, representing the amount of
the additional fee accrued through January 31, 2001 to guarantee
Lender a minimum compounded annual internal rate of return of
twenty-five percent (25%) at maturity on July 31, 2004 pursuant
to Section 2.3(c) of the Loan Agreement (the "Yield Guarantee at
Maturity"). Borrower has agreed to pay to Lender the sum of Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) of such accrued amount
contemporaneously with the execution of this Fourth Amendment,
April 2, 2001 (the "Special Payment Two"). Accordingly, upon
payment in full of the Term Loan, Lender agrees to credit
against the amount of the Yield Guarantee at Maturity due Lender
an amount equal to the future value of Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($500,000), compounded at an assumed interest rate of
six percent (6%) per annum from the date hereof to the date of
payment of the Term Loan. The amount so computed is referred to
as the "Future Credit Amount." For example, if the Loan is paid
in full at maturity on July 31, 2004, the Future Credit Amount
shall be equal to Six Hundred Seven Thousand, One Hundred
Sixty-eight and 18/100 Dollars ($607,168.18). Notwithstanding
this Special Payment Two of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($500,000), Borrower shall be liable to Lender for the full
amount of the Yield Guarantee at Maturity as if this Special
Payment Two had not been made, and will continue to accrue an
amount to satisfy such Yield Guarantee at Maturity on a monthly
basis as if this Special Payment Two had not been made."
2. REAFFIRMATION OF COVENANTS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Borrower
hereby agrees and covenants that all representations and warranties
in the Loan Agreement including, without limitation, all of those
representations and warranties set forth in Article 4, are true and
accurate as of the date hereof. Borrower further reaffirms all
covenants in the Loan Agreement and reaffirms each of the covenants
