(d)    Without limitation on the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section, the dollar amounts that appear in the Documents, as Amended by the Previous Modifications, in reference to the amount of the Loan and the Note are hereby modified and amended to be the respective reduced amounts set forth above in this Section effective as of the respective reduction dates set forth above in this Section, including, without limitation, in the defined term “Loan Amount” in Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement, in the upper left corner of page 1 of the Note, in the definition of the term “Loan” in Section 1 of the Note, and in Recital paragraph A of the Guaranty, each as Amended by the Previous Modifications.
