“Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate amount of outstanding Advances shall not exceed  Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) at any time during the Reduced Minimum Cash Period.”
 
3.   Section 2.2 of the Agreement hereby is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

5.   Exhibit E to the Agreement is replaced with Exhibit E attached hereto.
 
6.   No course of dealing on the part of Collateral Agent, any Lender or their officers, nor any failure or delay in the exercise of any right by Collateral Agent or any Lender, shall operate as a waiver thereof, and any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude any later exercise of any such right.  Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s failure at any time to require strict performance by a Borrower of any provision shall not affect any right of Collateral Agent or any Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance.  Any suspension or waiver of a right must be in writing signed by an officer of Collateral Agent and each Lender or as otherwise provided for in the Agreement.
 
7.   Unless otherwise defined, all initially capitalized terms in this Amendment shall be as defined in the Agreement.  The Agreement, as amended hereby, shall be and remain in full force and effect in accordance with its respective terms and hereby is ratified and confirmed in all respects.  Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of, or as an amendment of, any right, power, or remedy of Collateral Agent or any Lender under the Agreement, as in effect prior to the date hereof.
 
8.   Each Borrower represents and warrants that the Representations and Warranties contained in the Agreement are true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Amendment (provided, however, that those representations and warranties expressly referring to another date shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects as of such date), and that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
 
9.   As a condition to the effectiveness of this Amendment, Collateral Agent shall have received, in form and substance satisfactory to Collateral Agent, the following:
 
(a)   this Amendment, duly executed by each Borrower;

(e)   all reasonable Lender Expenses incurred through the date of this Amendment, which may be debited from any of Borrowers’ accounts; and
 
(f)   such other documents, and completion of such other matters, as Collateral Agent may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate.
 
10.   This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
