WHEREAS, (i) TCS recently created microDATA LLC (the “microDATA LLC Transaction”); and (ii) on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date (as defined herein), microDATA LLC acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of microDATA GIS (the “microDATA Acquisition”) pursuant to a certain Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of July 6, 2012, by and among TCS, microDATA GIS, microDATA LLC and the various sellers, participants and representatives party thereto (the “microDATA Purchase Agreement”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein (the entering into the microDATA Purchase Agreement and the consummation of the microDATA Acquisition and the other transactions and documents referred to in the microDATA Purchase Agreement are collectively referred to herein as the “microDATA GIS Transaction” and, together with the microDATA LLC Transaction, as the “Transaction”).

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, Existing Borrower is to cause each of microDATA LLC and microDATA GIS to become a co-Borrower under the Loan Documents and grant to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing pledge and security interest in and to the assets of microDATA LLC and microDATA GIS, respectively.

WHEREAS, Agent and Lenders are willing to consent to the Transaction and the refinancing of the Term Loan and to amend certain provisions of the Loan Agreement, in each case on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth below.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Fourth Amendment shall have the meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement, as amended hereby.

1. Consent. Subject to the terms of Section 9 below, Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Transaction and the refinancing of the Term Loan as provided herein and agree that none of the foregoing shall, in and of itself, constitute an “Event of Default” under the Loan Documents. Each of the microDATA LLC Transaction and the microDATA Acquisition shall be considered a Permitted Investment under the Loan Documents.

2. Joinder and Assumption. Each of the undersigned, microDATA GIS, INC., a Vermont corporation, and microDATA, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company (individually and collectively, the “New Borrower”), is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of TCS. Each New Borrower hereby joins the Loan Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, and agrees to comply with and be bound by all of the terms, conditions and covenants of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as if each were originally named as a “Borrower” therein. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, each New Borrower hereby assumes and agrees to pay and perform when due all present and future indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of Existing Borrower under the Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, the Obligations. All references in the Loan Documents to “Borrower” shall be deemed to refer to and include each New Borrower. Further, all present and future Obligations of Borrower shall be deemed to include all present and future Obligations of each New Borrower. Each New Borrower acknowledges that the Obligations are due and owing to Agent and Lenders from Existing Borrower, without any defense, offset or counterclaim of any kind or nature whatsoever as of the date hereof. Each Borrower hereby appoints the other as agent for the other for all purposes under the Loan Agreement, including with respect to requesting Credit Extensions thereunder. Each Borrower shall be jointly and severally obligated to repay all Credit Extensions made under the Loan Agreement, regardless of which Borrower actually received said Credit Extension, as if each Borrower directly received all Credit Extensions.

3. Grant of Security Interest. To secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, each New Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, all of such New Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto) owned by such New Borrower, whether now owned or existing or hereafter created, acquired, or arising, and wherever located. Each New Borrower further covenants and agrees by its execution hereof that it shall execute all such instruments and take all such actions that are reasonably required by Agent in order to grant a valid, perfected security interest to Agent in such Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens). Each New Borrower hereby authorizes Agent to file financing statements, without notice to either New Borrower, with any necessary jurisdictions in order to perfect or protect Agent’s interest or rights hereunder.

4. Amendments to Loan Agreement. The provisions of the Loan Agreement are hereby amended as follows:

(a) Section 1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following:

“1 ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS

Upon receipt of any such notice of prepayment, Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. The principal amount specified in any such notice of prepayment shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid.

(i) Advances. Subject to Section 2.4(b), the principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Line shall accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to the one-half of one percentage point (0.50%) above the Prime Rate, which interest shall be payable monthly, in arrears, in accordance with Section 2.4(g) below.

(ii) Term Loan 2012. Subject to Section2.4(b), the principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan 2012 shall accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to three-quarters of one percentage point (0.75%) above the Prime Rate, which interest shall be payable monthly.”

“(d) Computation; 360-Day Year. In computing interest, the date of the making of any Credit Extension shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if any Credit Extension is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on such Credit Extension. Other than calculations in respect of interest at the Prime Rate (which shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 365/366 day year), interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

(g) Payment; Interest Computation. Interest is payable monthly on the last calendar day of each month. In computing interest on the Obligations, all Payments received after 12:00 noon Eastern time on any day shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.

If such amount is not made available to Agent by the required time on the Funding Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii) a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to Agent. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days after such Funding Date, Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to the Term Loan 2012 or to Advances under the Revolving Line, as applicable, on demand, from Borrower.”
