is relying upon Borrower's representations, warranties, and agreements, as set

to the existing Indebtedness pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement in no

released by virtue of this Loan Modification Agreement. The terms of this
paragraph apply not only to this Loan Modification Agreement, but also to all
subsequent loan modification agreements.
8. CONDITIONS. The effectiveness of this Loan Modification Agreement is
conditioned upon Borrower's payment of $3,750.00 which represents the remaining
balance of the Loan Fee.
