aware which would reasonably be expected to materially and
adversely affect the business, operations or financial
condition of Borrower or the ability of Borrower to perform
its obligations under this Amendment, the Loan Agreement or
under any of the other Loan Documents. None of the
information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower
contained any material misstatement of fact or omitted to
state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the
statements contained herein or therein not materially
misleading.

this Amendment or the Loan Agreement, as amended hereby, and the
execution and delivery of any instruments or documents provided
for herein or delivered or to be delivered hereunder or in
connection herewith. All obligations provided in this Section 5

(d) Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of

the amendment to the Loan Agreement accomplished hereby, each
reference in the Loan Agreement to "this Agreement," "hereunder,"
