11.	DILUTION OF ACCOUNTS. In the event the Bank, at any time in its sole discretion, determines that the dollar amount of Eligible Accounts collectable by a Debtor is reduced or diluted as a result of discounts or rebates granted by a Debtor to the respective Account Debtor(s), returned or rejected Inventory or services, or such other reason or factor as Bank deems applicable, Bank may, in its sole discretion, upon five (5) business days’ prior written notice to Borrower, reduce or other wise modify the percentage of Eligible Accounts included within the Advance Formula under paragraph 2(a) above and/or reduce the dollar amount of the applicable Debtor’s Eligible Accounts by an amount determined by Bank in its sole discretion.

13.	THIS WRITTEN LOAN AGREEMENT (AS DEFINED BY SECTION 26.02 OF THE TEXAS BUSINESS AND COMMERCE CODE) REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
