Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time, and for any period of time, as applicable, the Holder may lower any dollar threshold specified in this definition to any lower dollar threshold, in each case, as specified by the Holder in a written notice to the Company.

(b) The definition of Volume Failure is hereby amended to add the following:
