WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested to amend the Loan Agreement in certain respects and on certain terms and conditions, as more fully set forth herein.

A. The section entitled “Amount of Maximum Credit” set forth in the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
Amount of Maximum Credit: As calculated from time to time, the lesser of (x) $30,000,000 and (y) the Borrowing Base Amount (the “Maximum Credit”). The Borrowing Base Amount shall be set forth in each Borrowing Base Certificate delivered by the Borrower to the Bank.
B. The first two sentences of Section 1(c) of the Loan Agreement are hereby amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows:
All Loans shall be made against and evidenced by a secured promissory note executed by (i) the Borrower and payable to the order of the Bank in the principal amount of $30,000,000, such note to be in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Borrower Note”), and (ii) each Qualified Borrower payable to the order of the Bank in the principal amount of $30,00,000, such note to be in the form of Exhibit A-1 attached hereto (a “QB Note”, and together with the Borrower Note, the “Notes” and each, a “Note”).
