hereby reconfirmed as of the date hereof. All collateral previously provided to

warranties made herein shall survive the execution of this Amendment.

         Counterparts. This Amendment May be signed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original, but when taken

delivery and performance of this Amendment and the documents referenced herein
are within the authority of the Borrower and have been duly authorized by all
necessary action.

         Attachments. All documents attached hereto, including any appendices,
schedules, riders, and exhibits to this Amendment, are hereby expressly
incorporated herein by reference.
