ARTICLE II
Suspension of Revolving Credit Commitments
2.1 Suspension and Reinstatement of Commitments.

Until such time as the Bridge Administrative Agent has delivered the Bridge Termination Notice in accordance with Section 2.3, the Revolving Lenders agree that the number $1,000,000 in Section 8(e) of the Revolving Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be $2,000,000, the number $5,000,000 in Section 8(h) of the Revolving Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be $10,000,000 and the representations, warranties and covenants of the Loan Parties under Sections 4, 6 and 7 of the Revolving Credit Agreement (other than Sections 2.4(a), 6.9 and 6.10 thereof) and the other Loan Documents (other than Section 5.5 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and other than the Deposit Account Control Agreement (as defined below)) are hereby suspended and of no force and effect. All of the parties hereto agree that (i) the Revolving Borrower shall be entitled to pay and the Revolving Lenders shall be entitled to receive the commitment fees as provided in Section 2.4(a) of the Revolving Credit Agreement and (ii) all of the provisions described in the immediately preceding sentence shall automatically be deemed reinstated upon the date of delivery of the Bridge Termination Notice as described above; provided that the Revolving Borrower provides a certificate to the Revolving Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders signed by a Responsible Officer certifying that the Revolving Borrower is in compliance with all terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement as then reinstated and no Default or Event of Default shall be in existence at such time. For the avoidance of doubt, the Revolving Lenders and the Revolving Borrower expressly agree that the Revolving Credit Agreement shall not be reinstated and the Revolving Borrower shall not be entitled to any advances thereunder unless and until all of the conditions precedent set forth in the Revolving Credit Agreement are either cured or waived by the Revolving Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders.
2.2 Suspension of Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

failing to make any advance under the Revolving Credit Agreement until all of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.2 have been satisfied or waived.
