No other terms of the Loan Agreement were changed in connection with the Amendment and all other provisions of the Loan Agreement remain in effect.

The above description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
