2.               Section 1.5 is hereby deleted in its entirety, and the following substituted therefor:

 

“SECTION 1.5 GUARANTIES.  The payment and performance of all indebtedness and other obligations of Borrower to Bank under the Line of Credit shall be guaranteed, jointly and severally, by Integrated Real Estate Service Corp. (“Integrated”), in the principal amount of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00), and under the Line of Credit and the Standby Letter of Credit, by Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. (“Impac”), in the principal amount of Five Million One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($5,150,000.00), as evidenced by and subject to the terms and guaranties in form and substance satisfactory to Bank.”

 

3.               Section 4.3 is hereby deleted in its entirety, and the following substituted therefor:

 

“SECTION 4.3.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

Provide to Bank all of the following, in form and detail satisfactory to Bank:

 

(a)           Not later than 90 days after and as of the end of each fiscal year, an audited financial statement of Borrower, prepared by a certified public accountant acceptable to Bank, to include balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows, and within 30 days after filing, but in no event later than each November 15, copies of Borrower’s filed federal income tax returns for such year;

(d)           not later than 15 days after and as of the end of each fiscal quarter, copies of current account statements for deposit, brokerage and other accounts containing unencumbered liquid assets of Integrated and its subsidiaries as necessary for Bank to calculate compliance with the liquidity covenant set forth below;

 

(e)           from time to time such other information as Bank may reasonably request.”

 

4.                                       Section 4.11 is hereby deleted in its entirety, and the following substituted therefor:
