below, in principal amounts not exceeding in the aggregate at any one time outstanding the Capital Expenditure Loan Borrowing Base, it being agreed and understood that at no time shall the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Second Capital Expenditure Loans made by Lender exceed the Capital Expenditure Loan Borrowing Base. The Second Capital Expenditure Loans shall be evidenced by a secured promissory note issued to Lender (the “Second Capital Expenditure Loan Note”), in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1(e).

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, so long as Borrowers are in compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, on the Second Capital Expenditure Loan Conversion Date the then outstanding principal balance of the Second Capital Expenditure Loans shall convert into term indebtedness, continuing to bear interest at a rate determined in accordance with Section 3.1 hereof, and be payable in substantially equal, consecutive monthly payments of principal in accordance with an eighty-four (84) month amortization schedule, due and payable beginning on December 9, 2006, and continuing on the same day of each succeeding calendar month, with the entire remaining principal balance thereof being due and payable, in a balloon payment upon expiration of the Term. On and after the Second Capital Expenditure Loan Conversion Date, Borrower shall have no ability to request, and Lender shall have no obligation to make, any further Second Capital Expenditure Loans.”
5.3. Section 2.6 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
“2.6. Repayment of Overadvances.

5.4. Section 2.10(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“(a) When any Borrower sells or otherwise disposes of any Collateral other than Inventory in the ordinary course of business, or when any Borrower suffers an insured loss in respect of any Collateral, then, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.11, Borrowers shall repay the Advances in an amount equal to the net proceeds derived from such sale or other disposition or received as any loss recovery from insurance, i.e., gross proceeds thereof less any reasonable costs incurred by such Borrower in connection with the receipt of such proceeds, such repayments to be made promptly but in no event more than one (1) Business Day following receipt of such net proceeds, and until the date of payment, such proceeds
- 4 -
shall be held in trust for Lender. The foregoing shall not be deemed to be an implied consent to any such sale or disposition otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions hereof. Such proceeds shall be applied, if derived from other than the sale of Inventory or Receivables, first to Term Loan B, in the reverse order of the respective installment maturities thereof (beginning with the last payment) until Term Loan B is paid in full, then to Term Loan A, in the reverse order of the respective installment maturities thereof (beginning with the last payment) until Term Loan A is paid in full, then to the Capital Expenditure Loan (if converted into term indebtedness as provided for herein), in the inverse order of the respective installment maturities thereof (beginning with the last payment) until the Capital Expenditure Loan is paid in full, then to the Second Capital Expenditure Loan (if converted into term indebtedness as provided herein), in the inverse order of the respective installment maturities thereof (beginning with the last payment) until the Second Capital Expenditure Loan is paid in full, but otherwise all such proceeds shall be applied to Revolving Advances without reduction, however, in Borrowers’ ability to reborrow Revolving Advances in accordance with the terms hereof.”
5.5. Section 2.10(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the phrase “or the Capital Expenditure Loan” and substituting “, the Capital Expenditure Loan or the Second Capital Expenditure Loan” therefor.
