     (d) Section 2 of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new Section 2.2A thereto, which shall read in full as follows:
          “2.2A Nonrevolving Credit Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, from the effective date of the Sixth Amendment to this Agreement to but excluding the Nonrevolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, provided that no Event of Default then has occurred and is continuing, Bank will make one or more nonrevolving loans (collectively, the ‘Nonrevolving Loans’ and individually, a ‘Nonrevolving Loan’) to Borrower as Borrower may request from time to time; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of all such Nonrevolving Loans shall not exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (the ‘Nonrevolving Credit Commitment’). Each Nonrevolving Loan requested and made hereunder shall be in a principal amount of not less than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000). Within the limits of time and amount set forth in this Section 2.2A, Borrower may borrow and repay, but once repaid may not reborrow, Nonrevolving Loans under the Nonrevolving Credit Commitment. All Nonrevolving Loans shall be requested before the Nonrevolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, on which date all outstanding principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all Nonrevolving Loans shall be due and payable. Borrower’s obligation to repay the outstanding principal amount of all Nonrevolving Loans, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be evidenced by a promissory note issued by Borrower in favor of Bank (the ‘Nonrevolving Note’) on the standard form used by Bank to evidence its commercial loans. Bank shall enter the amount of each Nonrevolving Loan, and any payments thereof, in its books and records, and such entries shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount outstanding under the Nonrevolving Credit Commitment. The failure of Bank to make any notation in its books and records shall not discharge Borrower of its obligation to repay in full with interest all amounts borrowed hereunder. The proceeds of the Nonrevolving Loans shall be disbursed pursuant to an Authorization to Disburse, on Bank’s standard form therefor, executed and delivered by Borrower to Bank, and used by Borrower only for the purpose set forth in Section 2.3(c) hereinbelow.”
     (e) Section 2.3 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in full as follows:
          “2.3 Purposes of the Loans and Letters of Credit.
               “(a) The proceeds of each Revolving Loan made by Bank to Borrower under the Revolving Credit Commitment shall be used only for the general working capital and corporate purposes of Borrower.
               “(b) Each Letter of Credit to be issued by Bank on the account of Borrower shall be issued only for a permitted purpose as set forth in Section 2.2(b) hereinabove.
               “(c) The proceeds of each Nonrevolving Loan made by Bank to Borrower under the Nonrevolving Credit Commitment shall be used only for the general working capital and corporate purposes of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.”

     (f) Section 2.4 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in full as follows:
          “2.4 Interest.
               “(a) Each Loan shall bear interest at the rate or rates provided for in the corresponding Note and selected by Borrower.
               “(b) Interest on the Loans shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days during which the principal is outstanding thereunder divided by 360, which shall, for the purposes of computing interest, be considered one (1) year.
               “(c) Interest shall be payable on the outstanding principal amount of each Loan as set forth in the corresponding Note in accordance with Section 2.8 hereof.
               “(d) There shall be no more than four (4) Revolving Loans bearing interest at a rate based upon the Base Interest Rate (as such term is defined in the Revolving Note) outstanding at any one time under the Revolving Note.”
     (g) Section 2 of the Agreement is hereby further amended by adding a new Section 2.5A thereto, which shall read in full as follows:
          “2.5A Mandatory Prepayment Of Nonrevolving Note. Notwithstanding the maturity date set forth in the Nonrevolving Note, the principal Indebtedness evidenced by the Nonrevolving Note shall be paid or prepaid in full, without penalty or premium in accordance with the terms of the Nonrevolving Note, on the Nonrevolving Credit Commitment Termination Date. No prepayment fee shall be payable by Borrower in connection with the payment or prepayment of the Nonrevolving Note.”
     (h) Section 2.6 of the Agreement is hereby amended by substituting the term “Loan” for the term “Revolving Loan” appearing in the second line thereof.
