(c)           any equity interest in any other Loan Party, as applicable, to execute any other document or instrument and/or diligently seek any consent or agreement from any third party that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines is necessary to evidence or further, or is otherwise relevant to, the intent of the parties, as set forth in this Second Amendment, provided the same shall not result in a decrease of the rights of such Loan Party or result in an increase in such Loan Party’s obligations under the Loan Documents.

(d)           Counterparts.  This Second Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Second Amendment in any number of separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute but one and the same instrument.

(e)           Entire Agreement.  This Second Amendment, together with the other Loan Documents, set forth the entire agreement and understanding among Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings of such Persons, verbal or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.  This Second Amendment shall not prejudice any rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Loan Documents.  The Administrative Agent and each Lender reserve, without limitation, all rights which each has against any indemnitor, guarantor, or endorser of the Notes.  Nothing in this Second Amendment shall impair the lien of any Deed of Trust, which as hereby amended shall remain a deed of trust with a power of sale, creating a first lien encumbering the applicable Borrowing Base Property (subject to the Permitted Title Exceptions applicable to such Borrowing Base Property).

(f)           GOVERNING LAW. THIS SECOND AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

(g)           Limitation of Liability.  The provisions of Section 10.20 of the Original Credit Agreement shall apply to the terms of the Credit Agreement as amended by this Second Amendment and are hereby incorporated herein by this reference.
