by telefacsimile or by e-mail transmission of an Adobe file format document

of this Amendment but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart

Amendment.

benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the obligations under
the Loan Documents, in accordance with their respective terms, and acknowledges

of the Loan Documents. Borrower waives any and all defenses to enforcement of
the Loan Agreement as amended hereby and each other Loan Documents that might

provisions of this Amendment shall control.

(b)    To the extent that any terms and conditions in any of the Loan Documents
shall contradict or be in conflict with any terms or conditions of the Loan
Agreement, after giving effect to this Amendment, such terms and conditions are
hereby deemed modified or amended accordingly to reflect the terms and
conditions of the Loan Agreement as modified or amended hereby.

(c)    This Amendment is a Loan Document.

10.Entire Agreement. This Amendment constitutes the entire agreement between
Borrower and Bank pertaining to the subject matter contained herein and
supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, offers and negotiations, oral
or written, with respect hereto and no extrinsic evidence whatsoever may be
introduced in any judicial or arbitration proceeding, if any, involving this
Amendment. All of the terms and provisions of this Amendment are hereby
incorporated by reference into the Loan Agreement, as applicable, as if such
terms and provisions were set forth in full therein, as applicable. All
references in the Loan Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereto”, “hereof”,
“hereunder” or words of like import shall mean the Loan Agreement as amended
hereby.

11.Release. Borrower may have certain Claims against the Released Parties, as
those terms are defined below, regarding or relating to the Loan Agreement or
the other Loan Documents. Bank and Borrower desire to resolve each and every one
of such Claims in conjunction with the execution of this Amendment and thus
Borrower makes the releases contained in this Section 10. In consideration of
Bank entering into this Amendment, Borrower hereby fully and unconditionally
releases and forever discharges Bank and its directors, officers, employees,
subsidiaries, branches, affiliates, attorneys, agents, representatives,
successors and assigns and all persons, firms, corporations and organizations
acting on any of their behalf (collectively, the “Released Parties”), of and
from any and all claims, allegations, causes of action, costs or demands and
liabilities, of whatever kind or nature, from the beginning of the world to the
date on which this Amendment is executed, whether known or unknown, liquidated
or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, asserted or unasserted, foreseen or
unforeseen, matured or unmatured, suspected or unsuspected, anticipated or
unanticipated, which Borrower has, had, claims to have had or hereafter claims
to have against the Released Parties by reason of any act or omission on the
part of the Released Parties, or any of them, occurring prior to the date on
which this Amendment is executed, including all such loss or damage of any kind
heretofore sustained or that may arise as a consequence of the dealings among
the parties up to and including the date on which this Amendment is executed,
including the administration or enforcement of the Loans, the Obligations, the
Loan Agreement or any of the Loan Documents (collectively, all of the foregoing,
the “Claims”). Borrower represents and warrants that it has no knowledge of any
claim by it against the Released Parties or of any facts or acts of omission of
the Released Parties which on the date hereof would be the basis of a claim by
Borrower against the Released Parties which is not released hereby. Borrower
represents and warrants that the foregoing constitutes a full and complete
release of all Claims.

12.Severability. The provisions of this Amendment are severable, and if any
clause or provision shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part
in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only
such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction and shall not in
any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any
other clause or provision in this Amendment in any jurisdiction.
