          WHEREAS, Banks, Agent and Borrower wish to further amend the Agreement and the Notes to extend the term thereof, and to make certain other revisions to the Agreement and the Notes as hereinafter set forth;

          NOW, THEREFORE, in order to effect such amendments and in consideration of the premises herein set forth, Borrower, Agent and Banks agree as follows:
