1.2. A new Section 1(k) is hereby added to the Original Agreement as follows:

The written request of the Company referenced above shall constitute presumptive evidence that the Company is entitled to said funds, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility to look beyond said request.”

1.3. Section 1(k) of the Original Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“(l) Not make any withdrawals or distributions from the Trust Account other than pursuant to Section 1(i), (j) or (k) above.”
