                  (i)   pursuant to Section 2.03(b) hereof, on the date of each
                        request for Revolving Credit Loans hereunder;

                  (iii) as required by Section 2.09(c) and Section 5.01(b)
                        hereof; and

                  (iv)  not later than two (2) Business Days after request
                        therefor by the Bank from time to time.

To the extent the Borrower is required to deliver a Borrowing Base Certificate

Base Certificate will change on a daily basis after delivery, as calculated by
the Bank until delivery of a subsequent Borrowing Base Certificate. The
Borrowing Base set forth on the Borrowing Base Certificate is subject to Bank's
final approval."

restated in their entirety as follows:
