The Borrower has requested that the Bank make additional loans to the Borrower and make certain other corresponding amendments to the Loan Agreement, and the Bank is willing to do so under the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement (herein, the "Amendment"). SECTION 1. 1. ADDITIONAL LOANS. Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Amendment (including the satisfaction of each of the conditions precedent listed in Section 3 of this Amendment) and of the Loan Agreement as amended hereby, the Bank agrees to make one or more additional loans (each, and "Additional Term Loan" and collectively, the "Additional Term Loans") to the Borrower on or before April 30, 1998 in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $15,000,000 on a cumulative basis on and after the date hereof. Each additional Term Loan shall be evidenced by, and mature and bear interest as set forth in, a Term Note of the Borrower (the "Line Note") in the form (with appropriate insertions) attached hereto as Schedule I, the Line Note to be dated as of the date of issuance thereof. The Additional Term Loans shall be secured by the Collateral. The manner of borrowing Additional Term Loans shall be as set forth in Section 1.5 of the Loan Agreement. The obligation of the Bank to make each additional Term Loan shall also be subject in each case to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7.1 of the Loan Agreement to the same extent, with the same force and effect, as if, each Additional Term Loan had originally been a Loan made under and subject to the Loan Agreement. All of the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement shall be applicable to the Line Note and all Additional Term Loans made from time to time hereunder. All references to the term "Note" in the Loan Agreement shall be deemed to include and be a reference to the Line Note as well. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower agrees to observe, comply with and be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement so long as any Additional Term, Loans are outstanding and that the Line Note may be accelerated upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement), all to the same extent and with the same force and effect as though the Loan Agreement as originally -1-
