C.  The Borrowers have requested, and the Bank has agreed, subject to the provisions of this Amendment, that the Bank waive the Existing Event of Default for the period prior to the date of this Amendment and to make certain other amendments as hereinafter set forth:

AGREEMENT

1.  Definitions.  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the meaning given to them in the Loan Agreement.

2. Acknowledgment of Existing Event of Default; Loan Documents; Waiver of Defenses.  The Borrowers acknowledge as of the date of this Amendment that: (a) the Existing Event of Default exists and is continuing; (b) the Existing Event of Default is material in nature; (c) that as a result of the Existing Event of Default, the Bank is entitled immediately and without further notice or declaration to the Borrowers or anyone else, to exercise its rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents including, without limitation, the right to accelerate and declare due and owing amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement; and (d) the Loan Documents are valid and enforceable against the Borrowers in every respect, and all of the terms and conditions thereof are binding upon the Borrowers.  To the extent that any of the Loan Documents require notification by the Bank to the Borrowers or any of them individually of the existence of a default and an opportunity to cure such a default, such notice and period for cure have been properly given by the Bank or is hereby waived by the Borrowers.  To the extent that the Borrowers have any defenses or setoffs to repayment of all obligations under the Loan Documents and/or applicable law or any claims or counterclaims against the Bank, such defenses, setoffs, claims, or counterclaims are hereby forever and irrevocably waived.  Absent this Amendment, the Bank would be entitled to exercise its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and applicable law.

3.  Waiver of Existing Event of Default.  The Bank hereby waives the Existing Event of Default for the period prior to the date of this Amendment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Bank’s waiver of the Existing Event of Default nor any communication between the Bank, the Borrowers or any party’s respective officers, agents, employees or representatives shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of (i) any Event of Default existing under the Loan Documents, whether now existing or hereafter arising under the Loan Documents, other than the Existing Event of Default; (ii) the ongoing obligation of the Borrowers to comply with the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents as amended hereby; or (iii) any rights or remedies which the Bank has against the Borrowers under the Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents and/or applicable law, with respect to Events of Default, other than rights and remedies which directly result from the occurrence and existence of the Existing Event of Default.  The Bank hereby reserves and preserves all of its rights and remedies against the Borrowers under the Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents and under applicable law, other than the right to declare an Event of Default or exercise remedies based upon the occurrence and existence of the Existing Event of Default, including, without limitation, the right to declare an Event of Default and exercise remedies should an Event of Default presently exist which has not been disclosed to the Bank by the Borrowers and which is not part of the defined “Existing Event of Default” or should an Event of Default occur after the date of this Amendment (including any Events of Default that may occur based upon violations after the date hereof of the section of the Loan Agreement which were violated in connection with the Existing Event of Default).
