exceed the lesser of (i) the Maximum Line of Credit Amount minus the Letter of Credit Usage
or (ii) the Borrowing Base minus the Letter of Credit Usage (“Line of Credit”). The
proceeds of all advances made hereby shall be used to finance Borrower’s working capital
requirements and for other lawful purposes consistent with the provisions hereof. Borrower’s
obligation to repay advances under the Line of Credit shall be evidenced by a promissory note
substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (“Line of Credit
Note”), all terms of which are incorporated herein by this reference. In connection with
the foregoing, the amount, if any, by which the LC Usage Amount at any time exceeds the

Agreement hereby is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
(b) Letter of Credit Subfeature. As a subfeature under the Line of Credit, Bank
agrees from time to time during the term thereof to issue or cause an affiliate to issue
sight commercial or standby letters of credit for the account of Borrower (each, a

Bank shall have no obligation to issue a Letter of Credit if any of the following would
result after giving effect to the requested Letter of Credit: (i) the Letter of Credit Usage
would exceed the Borrowing Base less the then extant amount of outstanding Advances, or (ii)
the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed $10,000,000, or (iii) the Letter of Credit Usage
would exceed the Maximum Line of Credit Amount less the then extant amount of outstanding
Advances. The form and substance of each Letter of Credit shall be subject to approval by
Bank, in its sole discretion. Each commercial Letter of Credit shall be issued for a term
not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days, as designated by Borrower; provided, however,
that no commercial Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date subsequent to the Line of
Credit Termination Date. Each standby Letter of Credit shall be issued for a term not to
exceed twelve (12) months, as designated by Borrower; provided, however, that no standby
Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date subsequent to the Line of Credit Termination
Date. Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the additional terms and conditions of the
Letter of Credit agreements, applications and any related documents required by Bank in
connection with the issuance thereof. Each drawing paid under a Letter of Credit shall be
deemed an Advance under the Line of Credit and shall be repaid by Borrower in accordance with
the terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable to such advances; provided, however,
that if Advances under the Line of Credit are not available, for any reason, at the time any
drawing is paid, then Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank the full amount drawn, together
with interest thereon from the date such drawing is paid to the date such amount is fully
repaid by Borrower, at the rate of interest applicable to advances under the Line of Credit.
In such event Borrower agrees that Bank, in its sole discretion, may debit any account
maintained by Borrower with Bank for the amount of any such drawing. All Prior Letters of
Credit which are outstanding as of the date hereof shall be deemed “Letters of Credit”
