performed by Obligors in connection with the Loan Documents were true and complete when made or performed.







7.           The Loan Documents are hereby amended to provide that a default, breach or failure on the part of Obligors to perform any covenant or condition hereunder or an event of Default otherwise defined in either this Fifth Amendment or any document executed in connection with this Fifth Amendment is to be deemed an event of Default for purposes of the Loan Documents.
