     WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that Lender loan up to forty-two million one hundred forty-six thousand dollars ($42,146,000) to Borrower via a thirty-seven million four hundred eighty thousand dollar ($37,480,000) revolving credit facility and a four million six hundred sixty-six thousand dollar ($4,666,000) term loan facility, the proceeds of which will be used to refinance existing indebtedness of Borrower and to provide Borrower with working capital support;
     2. The Recitals of the Loan Agreement are hereby amended by deleting the fifth paragraph in its entirety and substituting the following fifth paragraph in its place:
     NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of Lender making loans up to $42,146,000 to Borrower, the premises set forth above, which are incorporated herein by this reference and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, it is agreed as follows:
     3. Section 1.2. of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the definition of “Revolving Loan” in its entirety and substituting the following definition in its place:

 


 

     “Revolving Loan” means the revolving credit facility in an amount up to $37,480,000, as described in Section 2.1 and as provided in the promissory note attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1.
     4. Section 2.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such section in its entirety and substituting the following section in its place:
     Section 2.1 Revolving Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Lender agrees to make Advances to Borrower from time to time during the period from the date hereof to and including the Termination Date, in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of (a) thirty-seven million four hundred eighty thousand dollars ($37,480,000) or (b) the Borrowing Base, as calculated from time to time (the “Maximum Revolving Facility”). The Revolving Loan shall be a revolving credit facility and it is contemplated that Borrower will request Advances, make prepayments and request additional Advances. Borrower’s obligation to repay all Advances with interest thereon and additional terms under the Revolving Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note in the form attached hereto and marked Exhibit 2.1 (herein, together with any and all extensions, renewals, modifications and substitutions thereof and exchanges therefore, the “Revolving Note”). Any unpaid principal and all accrued but unpaid interest under the Revolving Loan shall be payable on the Termination Date.

     8. In all other respects, the Loan Agreement and related documents shall remain in full force and effect, and no amendment or waiver in respect of any term or condition of the Loan Agreement or related documents shall be deemed (i) to be an amendment or waiver in respect of any other term or condition contained in the Loan Agreement or related documents or (ii) to prejudice any right or rights of the Lender which it may now have or may have in the future under or in connection with the Loan Agreement or related documents.
     9. This Third Amendment shall be binding on the successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
