commencing on September 1, 2007 and continuing on the first day of
each month thereafter, the first six (6) of which shall be in an
amount equal to $33,333, and the final installment on March 1, 2008
which will be in the amount equal to the then unpaid principal
balance together with interest. The Borrower will pay interest on

month commencing on the first day of the month following the

2.5.1 hereof and continuing thereafter on the first day of each
month until March 1, 2008 when the entire unpaid principal balance
of the Term Note together with all interest accrued and unpaid
shall be paid in full. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a
360 day year for actual days elapsed and shall be payable as
provided in Section 2.8 hereof.”
(E) Section 2.6 of the Agreement is amended by

received or should have received the Borrowing Base Certificate
required by Section 5.2(d) hereof and such prepayment shall be

reduce the Term Loan and applied, in the case of the Term Loan, to
the last maturing installments in inverse order of their respective
maturities.”

deleting same and substituting the following therefor:

property or financial or other condition of the Borrower, or which
could materially and adversely affect the ability of the Borrower
to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents to which it is a party. No Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing.”

security interest in the Collateral as set forth in the Security
Agreement. The provisions of the Security Agreement are effective
to create in favor of the Bank a legal, valid and enforceable
security interest in all right, title and interest of the Borrower
in the Collateral except as such enforceability may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws
relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by
equitable principles relating to enforceability (where enforcement
is sought by proceedings in equity or law). The financing
statements which have been or will be filed in the offices of the
Secretaries of State of the respective jurisdictions where each
entity comprising the Borrower was formed under the names set forth
therein and the Security Agreement constitute and create a fully
perfected first priority security interest in all right, title and
interest of the Borrower in the Collateral, superior in right to
any other Liens, existing or future, which any Person may have
against the Collateral. All of the foregoing representations
specifically do not apply to the Borrowers listed on Schedule-1
