    InterTrust to NatWest from time to time."

3.  Exhibit C is hereby deleted.

4.  The first sentence of Section 8.1(b) of the Agreement is hereby deleted in
    its entirety and replaced with the following sentence: "The Initial
    Commitment Period will be extended for an additional six (6) months from the

    period, "Second Commitment Period") (the Initial Commitment Period and the
