Without limiting or amending any other provisions of the Agreement, Lender and

I.             Section 4.5 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following:

 

4.5          Certain Equipment Collateral.  Except as provided in clause
(c) below, the Collateral shall not include the Financed Equipment (the “Third
Party Financed Equipment”) securing the Indebtedness incurred by Borrower in

Finance Agreement between a Third Party Lender and Borrower (“Third Party
Indebtedness”) in an amount not to exceed $3,000,000; provided, that (a) the
Third Party Indebtedness shall be included in, and shall not exceed, the maximum
amount for equipment financing set forth in clause (v) of the definition of
“Permitted Liens”, (b) such exception to the Collateral is only to the extent
that Third Party Lender has a security interest in such Financed Equipment, and
(c) such Financed Equipment shall automatically become a part of the Collateral
concurrent with the release by Third Party Lender of its security interest in
the Third Party Financed Equipment.  To the extent that Lender shall have had a
security interest in Third Party Financed Equipment, Lender’s security interest
in such Financed Equipment shall be automatically released, but only under the
terms and to the extent set forth in clause (v) of the definition of “Permitted
