Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, Maker acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to letters of credit issued by Payee for the benefit of Maker, at no time hereunder shall Payee be obligated to issue letters of credit or make advances thereunder in excess of Eight Hundred Seventy Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($875,000.00) in the aggregate at any given time hereunder.”

          3.           Except as expressly amended herein, the Note (as modified by the First and Second Modification) shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and conditions.

Borrower acknowledges and agrees that there are no offsets or defenses to payment of the obligations evidenced by the Note (as modified by the First and Second Modification), as hereby amended, and hereby waives any defense, claim or counterclaim of Borrower regarding the obligations of Borrower under the Note (as modified by the First and Second Modification), as hereby amended.
