Amendment; Extension of Maturity Date. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except in a writing signed by the authorized officers of the Bank and the Borrower. However, at the sole option of the Bank, the Maturity Date specified in clause (b) of the definition thereof, may be extended for additional 364-day periods (subject to such extension being the only then change to this Agreement) if an Authorized Officer who is an executive officer of the Borrower, delivers to the Bank (from such officer’s email address) at least thirty (30) days prior to the date then specified in clause (b) of the definition of Maturity Date, an extension request substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 attached hereto and made a part hereof (an “Extension Request”). The Extension Request shall confirm the continuance of and be subject to the conditions for Loans specified in Section 6(b) of this Agreement. If such an extension is granted by the Bank, it shall be evidenced by an extension approval letter substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 attached hereto and made a part hereof (an “Extension Approval Letter”) and this Agreement will be deemed amended to extent necessary to give effect to such extension. Agreement by the Bank to allow an extension in this manner does not commit the Bank to make any future extension similarly available and the Bank may, at its option, require any such future extension of the term of this Agreement to be evidenced by an “Amendment to Loan Agreement” signed by both parties.
