C.  Amendment to Section 2.  Section 2 of the Credit Agreement is amended by adding the following new subsection (g) “Reseller Agent at the end of the Section:
 
“(h) Reseller Agent.  Select hereby appoints INX as “Reseller Agent.” Because the operations and business activities of the Resellers are integrated and interdependent, at any particular time it is impractical to determine which of the Resellers will directly receive the proceeds of a Financed Inventory advance or a Revolving Credit Loan.  Each of the Resellers hereby directs CPC to disburse the proceeds of each Financed Inventory advance or Revolving Credit Loan to or at the direction of the Reseller Agent, with such directions to be subject to approval of CPC in its discretion, and such distribution will, in all circumstances, be deemed to be made to each of the Resellers.  From time to time, Reseller Agent shall further distribute the proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans to a particular Reseller or Resellers, jointly and severally, or direct the disbursement of the Financed Inventory advance for the account of each Reseller, and each Reseller represents and warrants that the subsequent receipt and use of such proceeds by any particular Reseller inures to the economic benefit directly and indirectly of all other Resellers.  For so long as the Line of Credit is in effect, each Reseller hereby covenants and agrees, and hereby grants to the Reseller Agent an absolute and irrevocable power of attorney coupled with interest, and irrevocably designates, appoints, authorizes and directs the Reseller Agent to (a) execute and deliver any Borrowing Bases, (b) certify the financial statements of Reseller, (c) request advances, and execute and deliver written requests for advances, (d) make any other deliveries required to be delivered periodically hereunder to CPC, and (e) otherwise take all other actions otherwise contemplated by this Section, and to act on behalf of such Reseller for purposes of giving and receiving notices and certificate ions under this Credit Agreement or any other document related to this Credit Agreement.  CPC is entitled to rely and act on the instructions of the Reseller Agent.”
 
SECTION FOUR – Conditions to Effectiveness.  This Amendment shall become effective as of the date first above written provided:
 
A.  CPC has received counterparts of this Amendment executed by both Resellers immediately following the acquisition by INX of Select;
 
B. As of the date first above written, no event shall have occurred since August 1, 2007, which has a material adverse effect on the business, assets, revenues, financial condition or Collateral of INX, the ability of INX to perform its payment obligations when due or to perform any other material obligation under the Credit Agreement; or any right, remedy or benefit of CPC under the Credit Agreement; and
 
C.  CPC has received such other certificates, resolutions, agreements, documents and information as requested by CPC and its counsel.
 
In addition, the effectiveness of this Amendment is conditioned upon the continuing accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Section Four hereof.
 

 
SECTION FIVE – Representations and Warranties.  In order to induce CPC to enter into this Amendment, INX represents and warrants to CPC that (i) the Credit Agreement, as amended, does remain the legal, valid, enforceable and binding obligation of each Reseller, (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing, (iii) all of the representations and warranties in the Credit Agreement are true and complete in all material respects on and as of the date hereof as if made on the date hereof (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date), and (iv) neither Reseller has any claims, defenses, or offsets against CPC.
