(i)                                     Each of the Letter of Credit Documents shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 12.2 and 12.3 of the Loan Agreement, which Sections are hereby incorporated into and made of part of each of the Letter of Credit Documents.

(j)                                    If any Letter of Credit has not been presented for a draw pursuant to its terms, such Letter of Credit shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of the stated expiry date thereof or the date such Letter of Credit is returned to the Lender for cancellation.  Except as provided in paragraph (k) of this Section, in no event shall the Lender be required to release the liens and security interests created by the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents prior to the time that all Letters of Credit have so terminated.

(k)                                 If at a time when a Letter of Credit is outstanding, the Maturity Date of the Loan and the Note occurs and is not extended, or the obligation of the Lender to make additional cash disbursements on the Loan (other than by paying draws on Letters of Credit) under the Loan Agreement otherwise terminates, the Borrowers shall immediately deposit into an interest-bearing cash collateral deposit account in the name of the Borrowers held by the Lender (the “L/C Cash Collateral Account”), an amount equal to the then face amount of such Letter of Credit (a “Deposit”).  The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the L/C Cash Collateral Account and amounts on deposit therein will be subject to the security interests in the Borrowers’ Deposit Accounts (as defined in the Code) and amounts on deposit therein which are created under Section 3.4(f) of the Loan Agreement.  The failure of the Borrowers to make any Deposit as provided above shall constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement, and upon or at any time after the occurrence of such Event of Default, the Lender may exercise any or all of its remedies under the Loan Documents and under applicable law.  Provided that the Borrowers have made any required Deposit as provided above, and the Lender no longer has any obligation to make any additional cash disbursements on the Loan (other than by paying draws on Letters of Credit), and the Loan has otherwise been paid in full, and no Default or Event of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing, the Lender shall release the liens and security interests created by the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, other than the security interest in the L/C Cash Collateral Account.  Provided that no Default or Event of Default under the Loan Agreement has occurred and is continuing, the Lender shall release the L/C Cash Collateral Account at such time as the Lender no longer has any liability under any Letter of Credit and all obligations to the Lender under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been fully paid and performed.

(l)                                     All of the Documents are hereby modified and amended to incorporate the foregoing provisions of this Section.

Section 6.                                          Amendments to Loan Agreement Concerning Letter of Credit.  Without limitation on the provisions of Section 5 of this Agreement, the Loan Agreement is hereby modified and amended as follows:

On the terms of and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Lender agrees to make advances on the Loan at such times as Borrowers may from time to time request until, but not including, the Maturity Date, and in such amounts as Borrowers may from time to time request, provided, however, that at any time, the aggregate principal balance outstanding on the Loan plus the combined face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, shall not exceed the Availability.

(b)                                 In the event the outstanding principal balance of the Loan together with the combined face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit at any time exceeds the Availability, Borrowers shall make such repayments of the Loan as shall be necessary to eliminate such excess.  In the event that at any time there is no principal balance outstanding on the Loan and the combined face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit exceeds the Availability, then Borrowers shall immediately deposit the amount of such excess in a cash collateral account as security for the Loan in the name of one or more of Borrowers with Lender, and shall maintain such amount on deposit in such cash collateral account so long as and to the extent that the combined face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit exceeds the Availability.

(c)                                  The entire principal balance of the Note and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due, if not sooner paid, on the Maturity Date.

(c)                                  Section 7.4 of the Loan Agreement is hereby modified and amended in its entirety to read as follows:

7.4                               Excess Indebtedness.  Reference is made to Section 3.3(b) of the Loan Agreement for provisions relating to payment and cash collateralization of amounts of the principal balance of the Loan and the combined face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit which at any time exceed the Availability.

Letter of Credit Document, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents when any such payment is due in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof;

Section 7.                                          Amendments to Note Concerning Letter of Credit.  Without limitation on the provisions of Section 5 of this Agreement, the Note is hereby modified and amended as follows:

(a)                                 Section 3.2 of the Note is hereby modified and amended in its entirety to read as follows:

(b)                                 Section 5(a) of the Note is hereby modified and amended in its entirety to read as follows:

(a)                                 The failure by the Borrowers to (i) pay any installment of principal or interest payable pursuant to this Note on the date when due, (ii) reimburse to the Lender any amount drawn on any Letter of Credit when required by the Letter of Credit Documents, or (iii) pay any other amount payable to the Lender under this Note, any Letter of Credit Document, the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents on the date when any such payment is due in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof; or

Section 9.                                          Extension of Maturity Date.  The maturity date of the Loan and the Note is hereby extended from September 29, 2012, to March 8, 2013, and all of the Documents are hereby modified and amended accordingly.  Without limitation on the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section, the date “September 29, 2012” is hereby changed to “March 8, 2013” each time it appears in the Documents in reference to the maturity date of the Loan and the Note, including, without limitation in the definition of the term “Maturity Date” in Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement and in Section 1 of the Note.

Section 10.                                   Attachment to Note.  The Lender may, and prior to any transfer by it of the Note shall, attach a copy of this Agreement to the original Note and place an endorsement on the original Note making reference to the fact that such attachment has been made.
