    Whereas
Borrower is currently indebted to Bank pursuant to the terms and conditions of
that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of November 5, 2008 (as amended,
modified or supplemented prior to the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”), between

hereby acknowledged, Bank and Borrower hereby agree that the Credit Agreement

contained herein shall terminate any security interests, guaranties,
subordinations or other documents in favor of Bank, all of which shall remain in
full force and effect unless expressly amended hereby:

     

                              Section 1.Definitions.  Each
capitalized term used but not otherwise defined herein has the meaning assigned

representations and warranties contained herein and in each of the other Loan
Documents executed by Borrower or any Guarantor shall be true in all material
respects on and as of the date of the signing of this Agreement and on the date
of each extension of credit by Bank pursuant hereto, with the same effect as
though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of each such
date (provided, however, that those representations and warranties expressly
referring to another date shall be true and correct in all material respects as
of such date), and on each such date, no Event of Default as defined herein, and
no condition, event or act which with the giving of notice or the passage of
time or both would constitute such an Event of Default, shall have occurred and
be continuing or shall exist, or would result from such proposed extension of
credit or from the application of the proceeds thereof.

     

    (c)           Section

read as follows:

    (a)           Bank

Borrower to be true, correct and complete.

     

                              Section 5.Representations, Warranties and
Covenants.  Borrower hereby remakes all representations and
warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and reaffirms all covenants set

Documents and to effect, confirm, or further assure or protect and preserve the
interests, rights, and remedies of Bank under the Credit Agreement (as amended
hereby) and the other Loan Documents.

which signed by all the parties hereto shall be deemed to constitute a complete,
executed original for all purposes.  Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by telefacsimile transmission

Law.  This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in
