3. DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE IN TERMS.
A. Modifications to Loan Agreement.
| 1 | The Loan Agreement shall be amended by deleting the following, appearing as Section 2.2 thereof: |
“ 2.2 Overadvances. If, at any time, the Credit Extensions under
Sections 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 exceed the lesser of either
(a) the Revolving Line or (b) the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall
immediately pay to Bank in cash such excess (the “Overadvance”). To
the extent that the Overadvance exists as a result of Bank decreasing
the percentages of the Borrowing Base, or adjustment of the criteria
for Eligible Accounts, Borrower shall have two (2) Business Days to
pay such portion of the Overadvance.”
and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
“ 2.2 Overadvances. If, at any time, the Credit Extensions under
Sections 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 exceed the Revolving Line,
Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank in cash such excess (the
“Overadvance”).”
| 2 | The Loan Agreement shall be amended by deleting the following text, appearing in Section 2.3(a) thereof: |
1
“Subject to Section 2.3(b), the principal amount outstanding under
the Revolving Line shall accrue interest at a floating per annum rate
equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) above the Prime Rate.”
and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
“Subject to Section 2.3(b), the principal amount outstanding under
the Revolving Line shall accrue interest at the greater of (i) a
floating per annum rate equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%)
above the Prime Rate and (ii) four and one-quarter of one percent
(4.25%).”
| 3 | The Loan Agreement shall be amended by deleting the following, appearing as Section 5.3 thereof: |
“ 5.3 Accounts Receivable. For any Eligible Account in any Borrowing
Base Certificate, all statements made and all unpaid balances
appearing in all invoices, instruments and other documents evidencing
such Eligible Accounts are and shall be true and correct and all such
invoices, instruments and other documents, and all of Borrower’s
Books are genuine and in all respects what they purport to be. All
sales and other transactions underlying or giving rise to each
Eligible Account shall comply in all material respects with all
applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations. Borrower has
no knowledge of any actual or imminent Insolvency Proceeding of any
Account Debtor whose accounts are an Eligible Account in any
Borrowing Base Certificate. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, all
signatures and endorsements on all documents, instruments, and
agreements relating to all Eligible Accounts are genuine, and all
such documents, instruments and agreements are legally enforceable in
accordance with their terms.”
and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
“ 5.3 Intentionally Omitted.”
| 4 | The Loan Agreement shall be amended by deleting the following text, appearing in Section 6.2 thereof: |

which Credit Extensions made pursuant to Section 2.1.1 are
outstanding or in which any such Credit Extensions have been
requested, deliver to Bank a duly completed Borrowing Base
Certificate signed by a Responsible Officer, with aged listings of
accounts receivable and accounts payable (by invoice date).”
and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
“ (b) Intentionally omitted.”
| 5 | The Loan Agreement shall be amended by deleting the following text, appearing in Section 6.2 thereof: |
“ (d) Upon the occurrence of the first request for an Advance
pursuant to Section 2.1.1, allow Bank to audit Borrower’s Collateral
at Borrower’s expense. Such audits shall be conducted no more often
than once every twelve (12) months unless a Default or an Event of
Default has occurred
2
and is continuing. Borrower hereby acknowledges that the first such
audit will be conducted within sixty (60) days after the date on
which Borrower requests the first Advance pursuant to Section 2.1.1.
The charge for each audit shall not exceed Eight Hundred Fifty
Dollars ($850.00) (or such higher amount as shall represent Bank’s
then-current standard charge for the same), per person per day, plus
out of pocket expenses.”
and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
“ (d) After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank may audit
Borrower’s Collateral, including, but not limited to, Borrower’s
Accounts at Borrower’s expense and at Bank’s sole and exclusive
discretion and without notification and authorization from Borrower.”
| 6 | The Loan Agreement shall be amended by deleting the following text, appearing in Section 6.7 thereof: |

net revenue of at least (i) for the quarters ended June 30, 2009,
September 30, 2009, December 31, 2009, March 31, 2010, June 30, 2010
and September 30, 2010, the greater of (A) Nine Million Dollars
($9,000,000.00), and (B) seventy-five percent (75.0%) of Borrower’s
board-approved operating plan, and (ii) for the quarter ending
December 31, 2010, and as of the last day of each quarter thereafter,
Nine Million Dollars ($9,000,000.00).”
| 7 | The Loan Agreement shall be amended by inserting the following new definition, appearing alphabetically in Section 13.1 thereof: |
“ “Overadvance” is defined in Section 2.2.”
| 8 | The Loan Agreement shall be amended by deleting the following definitions, appearing in Section 13.1 thereof: |
“ “Borrowing Base” is eighty percent (80.0%) of Eligible Accounts, as
determined by Bank from Borrower’s most recent Borrowing Base
Certificate; provided, however, that Bank, upon notice to Borrower,
may decrease the foregoing percentage in its good faith business
judgment based on events, conditions, contingencies, or risks which,
as determined by Bank may adversely affect Collateral.”
“ “Borrowing Base Certificate” is that certain certificate in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit C.”
“ “Eligible Accounts” are Accounts which arise in the ordinary course
of Borrower’s business that meet all Borrower’s representations and

percent (35%);

(as creditor, lessor, supplier or otherwise — sometimes called
“contra” accounts, accounts payable, customer deposits or credit
accounts), with the exception of customary credits, adjustments
and/or discounts given to an Account Debtor by Borrower in the
ordinary course of its business;
(j) Accounts for demonstration or promotional equipment, or in
