RECITALS
The
Lender and the Borrowers are parties to a Credit and Security Agreement dated
January 14, 2008, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”).
The
Borrowers have requested that the Lender waive certain defaults under the Credit
Agreement and that certain amendments be made to the Credit Agreement, which the
Lender is willing to do pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth
herein.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants and
agreements herein contained, it is agreed as follows:
1. Defined
Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment which are
defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the same meanings as defined therein,
unless otherwise defined herein. In addition, Section 1.1 of the
Credit Agreement shall be amended by adding or amending, as applicable, the
following definitions:
“Daily
Three Month LIBOR” means, for any day, the rate of interest equal to LIBOR then
in effect for delivery for a three (3) month period. When interest is
determined in relation to Daily Three Month LIBOR, each change in the interest
rate shall become effective each Business Day that the Lender determines that
Daily Three Month LIBOR has changed.
“EBITDA”
means, for any period, the net income (loss) from the Borrowers’ operations
before (a) interest, (b) taxes, (c) depreciation, amortization and other
non-cash charges and income, and (d) extraordinary items, all as determined on a
consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, applied in a manner consistent with
the financial statements for such period and acceptable to the
Lender.
“LIBOR”
means the rate per annum (rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest whole one
eighth of one percent (1/8 %) determined pursuant to the following
formula:
LIBOR
=

Base
LIBOR
|

- LIBOR Reserve Percentage
|
(i) “Base
LIBOR” means the rate per annum for United States dollar deposits quoted by the
Lender for loans that reference Daily Three Month LIBOR as the Inter-Bank Market
Offered Rate in effect from time to time for three (3) month delivery of funds
in amounts approximately equal to the principal amount of such
loans. The Borrowers understand and agree that the Lender may base
its quotation of the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate upon such offers or other
market indicators of the Inter-Bank Market as the Lender in its discretion deems
appropriate, including but not limited to the rate offered for U.S. dollar
deposits on the London Inter-Bank Market.
(ii) “LIBOR
Reserve Percentage” means the reserve percentage prescribed by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) for “Eurocurrency
Liabilities” (as defined in Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board, as
amended), adjusted by the Lender for expected changes in such reserve percentage
during the applicable term of the Revolving Note and the Real Estate
Note.
“LIBOR
Advance Rate” means an annual interest rate equal to the sum of Daily Three
Month LIBOR, plus five and
one-quarter percent (5.25%), which interest rate shall change whenever Daily
Three Month LIBOR changes.
“Maximum
Line Amount” means Eleven Million Dollars ($11,000,000).

amending the following subsections:

made. Each request that conforms to the terms of this Agreement shall
be effective upon receipt by the Lender, shall be in writing or by telephone or
telecopy transmission, and shall be confirmed in writing by the Borrowers if so
requested by the Lender, by (i) an Officer of the Borrowers, or (ii) a Person
designated as the Borrowers’ agent by an Officer of the Borrowers in a writing
delivered to the Lender, or (iii) a Person whom the Lender reasonably believes
to be an Officer of the Borrowers or such a designated agent. The
Borrower shall repay all Revolving Advances even if the Lender does not receive
such confirmation and even if the Person requesting a Revolving Advance was not
in fact authorized to do so. Any request for a Revolving Advance,
whether written or telephonic, and whether initiated manually by the Borrowers
or automatically through the Borrowers’

the Borrowers that all conditions set forth in Article IV of this Agreement have
