  We study the thermodynamic consequences of a recently proposed description
for a Schwarzschild black hole based on Euclidean (D3,D3)+(\bar{D3},\bar{D3})
brane pairs described in terms of chain-like excitations. A discrete
mass-spectrum of Bekenstein-type is inferred and upon identification of the
black hole mass with the chain's energy the leading corrections to both
Hawking-temperature and specific heat of the black hole are obtained. The
results indicate that for small black holes the evaporation process will be
considerably altered.
