RECITALS
Borrower has requested that Bank extend or continue credit to Borrower as described below, and Bank has agreed to provide such credit to Borrower on the terms and conditions contained herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Bank and Borrower hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
CREDIT TERMS
SECTION 1.1. LINE OF CREDIT.
(a) Line of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank hereby agrees to make advances to Borrower from time to time up to and including December 27, 2012, not to exceed at any time the aggregate principal amount of Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) (“Line of Credit”), the proceeds of which shall be used for Borrower’s general corporate purposes and to finance Borrower’s working capital requirements in the ordinary course of business. Borrower’s obligation to repay advances under the Line of Credit shall be evidenced by a promissory note executed by Borrower dated as of December 27, 2011 (“Line of Credit Note”), all terms of which are incorporated herein by this reference.
(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 standby letters of credit for the account of Borrower for general corporate purposes of Borrower agreed to by Bank (each, a “Letter of Credit” and collectively, “Letters of Credit”); provided however, that the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall not at any time exceed Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000). The form and substance of each Letter of Credit shall be subject to approval by Bank, in its sole discretion. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued for a term not to exceed three hundred sixty five or three hundred sixty six (365 or 366) days, as designated by Borrower; provided however, that no Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date more than three hundred sixty five or three hundred sixty six (365 or 366) days beyond the maturity date of the Line of Credit; provided further that if any Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date beyond the maturity date or termination date of the Line of Credit, Borrower shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to the earlier of the maturity date or termination date of the Line of Credit, cash collateralize the aggregate amount of all outstanding but undrawn Letters of Credit by depositing in a blocked, non-interest bearing deposit account of Borrower at Bank in the name of Bank and under the sole dominion and control of Bank cash in an aggregate amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the maximum aggregate amount available to be drawn under all outstanding but undrawn Letters of Credit and if additional Letters of Credit become outstanding from and after the date of such deposit, Borrower shall immediately deposit
1
additional cash collateral in an aggregate amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the maximum aggregate amount available to be drawn under such additional Letters of Credit (all such cash deposits, deposit accounts and all balances therein, collectively, the “Letter of Credit Deposits”). Borrower hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) Bank, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all Letter of Credit Deposits, and in all proceeds thereof, all as security for the obligations to which such cash collateral may be applied pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Borrower shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance and disbursement of cash collateral. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit that has been cash collateralized, unless such drawing has become an advance under the Line of Credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or has been repaid by Borrower in accordance with this Agreement, the funds held as cash collateral shall be applied (without any further action by or notice to or from Borrower or any guarantor hereunder) to repay Bank. At such time as the Letter of Credit Deposits exceed the sum of the maximum aggregate amount available to be drawn under all outstanding but undrawn Letters of Credit and the aggregate amount of all drawings under Letters of Credit honored by Bank and not repaid by Borrower, if no Event of Default (as defined herein) has occurred and is continuing, the amount of such excess shall, at the request of Borrower, be released to Borrower. The undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit shall be reserved under the Line of Credit and shall not be available for borrowings thereunder. 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.
(c) Borrowing and Repayment. Borrower may from time to time during the term of the Line of Credit borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings, and reborrow, subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions contained herein or in the Line of Credit Note; provided however, that the total outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit shall not at any time exceed the maximum principal amount available thereunder, as set forth above.
SECTION 1.2. INTEREST/FEES.
(a) Interest. The outstanding principal balance of each credit subject hereto (other than drawings paid under any Letter of Credit) shall bear interest at the rate of interest set forth in the Line of Credit Note, and the amount of each drawing paid under any Letter of Credit shall bear interest from the date such drawing is paid to the date such amount is fully repaid by Borrower, at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate (as defined in the Line of Credit Note) in effect from time to time. When interest is determined in relation to the Prime Rate, each change in the rate of interest shall become effective on the date each Prime Rate change is announced within Bank.
2
(b) Computation and Payment. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed. Interest shall be payable at the times and place set forth in each promissory note or other instrument or document required hereby.
(c) Unused Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay to Bank a fee equal to twenty five hundredth percent (0.25%) per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) on the average daily unused amount of the Line of Credit, which fee shall be calculated on a quarterly basis by Bank and shall be due and payable by Borrower in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter.
(d) Letter of Credit Fees. Borrower shall pay to Bank (i) fees on the issuance date and on each anniversary date thereof with respect to each Letter of Credit equal to one percent (1.0%) per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) of the face amount thereof, and (ii) fees upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit (without duplication of the fees set forth in the preceding clause (i)), upon the payment or negotiation of each drawing under any Letter of Credit and upon the occurrence of any other activity with respect to any Letter of Credit (including without limitation, the transfer, amendment or cancellation of any Letter of Credit) determined in accordance with Bank’s standard fees and charges then in effect for such activity.
SECTION 1.3. COLLECTION OF PAYMENTS. Borrower authorizes Bank to collect all principal, interest and fees due under the Line of Credit by charging Borrower’s deposit account number 2118396759 with Bank, or any other deposit account maintained by Borrower with Bank, for the full amount thereof. Should there be insufficient funds in any such deposit account to pay all such sums due on a given date, the full amount of such deficiency shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower.
SECTION 1.4. COLLATERAL. As security for all indebtedness and other obligations of Borrower to Bank subject hereto and under the Line of Credit Note, Borrower hereby grants, and shall cause each guarantor hereunder to grant, to Bank security interests of first priority in (i) all of Borrower’s Collateral, and (ii) all of such guarantor’s Collateral. “Collateral” means collectively, all of the personal property in which liens are purported to be granted pursuant to the Continuing Security Agreement, any other security agreements, pledge agreements, foreign pledge agreements, control agreements, and all other instruments or documents delivered by Borrower or any guarantor pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (as defined below) in order to grant to Bank a lien on any personal property of Borrower or such guarantor as security for the obligations hereunder and the Line of Credit Note and the other obligations described in such agreements, instruments or documents. All of the foregoing shall be evidenced by and subject to the terms of such security agreements, pledge agreements, control agreements, financing statements, deeds or mortgages, and other documents as Bank shall reasonably require, all in form and substance satisfactory to Bank. Borrower shall pay to Bank immediately upon demand the full amount of all charges, costs and expenses (to include fees paid to third parties and all allocated costs of Bank personnel), expended or incurred by Bank in connection with any of the foregoing security, including without limitation, filing and recording fees and costs of appraisals, audits and title insurance.

SECTION 4.12. NEW SUBSIDIARIES.
(a) Domestic Subsidiaries. From and after the date hereof, if Borrower or any of its subsidiaries acquires or creates any Domestic Subsidiary that is a Material Subsidiary, promptly, and in no event later than ten (10) business days after such acquisition or creation, notify Bank of that fact and cause such Domestic Subsidiary to execute and deliver to Bank a guaranty and a counterpart of the security agreements and other security documents and to take all such further actions and execute all such further documents and instruments (including actions, documents and instruments comparable to those described in Section 3.1(b)) as may be, in the opinion of Bank, necessary or desirable to have such Domestic Subsidiary as a guarantor and to create in favor of Bank a valid and perfected first priority lien in all of the Collateral of such Domestic Subsidiary. In addition, for each such Domestic Subsidiary, Borrower shall deliver to Bank a pledge agreement or a pledge supplement thereto and any other documents and instruments requested by Bank, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank.
(b) Foreign Subsidiaries.

For the avoidance of doubt, no Foreign Subsidiary shall be required to execute and deliver a guaranty or any security agreement, and no equity interests of a Foreign Subsidiary shall be required to be pledged pursuant to the provisions of a pledge agreement, in each case to the extent material adverse tax consequences to Borrower could reasonably be expected to result therefrom, it being understood and agreed that a pledge by Borrower or its Domestic Subsidiary of 65% of the voting power of all classes of the equity interests of a Foreign Subsidiary will not cause material adverse tax consequences to Borrower. “Foreign Subsidiary” means any subsidiary of Borrower that is not a Domestic Subsidiary.

Any arbitration proceeding will (i) proceed in a location in California selected by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”); (ii) be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in any of the documents between the parties; and (iii) be conducted by the AAA, or such other administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon, in accordance with the AAA’s commercial dispute resolution procedures, unless the claim or counterclaim is at least $1,000,000 exclusive of claimed interest, arbitration fees and costs in which case the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA’s optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes (the commercial dispute resolution procedures or the optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes to be referred to herein, as applicable, as the “Rules”). If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the Rules, the terms and
22
procedures set forth herein shall control. Any party who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a demand by any other party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any dispute. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any party that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. §91 or any similar applicable state law.
(c) No Waiver of Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure. The arbitration requirement does not limit the right of any party to (i) foreclose against real or personal property collateral; (ii) exercise self-help remedies relating to collateral or proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession; or (iii) obtain provisional or ancillary remedies such as replevin, injunctive relief, attachment or the appointment of a receiver, before during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding. This exclusion does not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any dispute to arbitration or reference hereunder, including those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in sections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph.
(d) Arbitrator Qualifications and Powers. Any arbitration proceeding in which the amount in controversy is $5,000,000 or less will be decided by a single arbitrator selected according to the Rules, and who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000. Any dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000 shall be decided by majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators; provided however, that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations. The arbitrator will be a neutral attorney licensed in the State of California or a neutral retired judge of the state or federal judiciary of California, in either case with a minimum of ten years experience in the substantive law applicable to the subject matter of the dispute to be arbitrated. The arbitrator will determine whether or not an issue is arbitratable and will give effect to the statutes of limitation in determining any claim. In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will decide (by documents only or with a hearing at the arbitrator’s discretion) any pre-hearing motions which are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim or motions for summary adjudication. The arbitrator shall resolve all disputes in accordance with the substantive law of California and may grant any remedy or relief that a court of such state could order or grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award. The arbitrator shall also have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other action as the arbitrator deems necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the California Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable law. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief.
(e) Discovery. In any arbitration proceeding, discovery will be permitted in accordance with the Rules. All discovery shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the dispute being arbitrated and must be completed no later than 20 days before the hearing date. Any requests for an extension of the discovery periods, or any discovery disputes, will be subject to final determination by the arbitrator upon a showing that the request for discovery is essential for the party’s presentation and that no alternative means for obtaining information is available.
23
(f) Class Proceedings and Consolidations. No party hereto shall be entitled to join or consolidate disputes by or against others in any arbitration, except parties who have executed any Loan Document, or to include in any arbitration any dispute as a representative or member of a class, or to act in any arbitration in the interest of the general public or in a private attorney general capacity.
(g) Payment Of Arbitration Costs And Fees. The arbitrator shall award all costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding.
(h) Real Property Collateral; Judicial Reference. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no dispute shall be submitted to arbitration if the dispute concerns indebtedness secured directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, by any real property unless (i) the holder of the mortgage, lien or security interest specifically elects in writing to proceed with the arbitration, or (ii) all parties to the arbitration waive any rights or benefits that might accrue to them by virtue of the single action rule statute of California, thereby agreeing that all indebtedness and obligations of the parties, and all mortgages, liens and security interests securing such indebtedness and obligations, shall remain fully valid and enforceable. If any such dispute is not submitted to arbitration, the dispute shall be referred to a referee in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 et seq., and this general reference agreement is intended to be specifically enforceable in accordance with said Section 638. A referee with the qualifications required herein for arbitrators shall be selected pursuant to the AAA’s selection procedures. Judgment upon the decision rendered by a referee shall be entered in the court in which such proceeding was commenced in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 644 and 645.
(i) Miscellaneous. To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrators and the parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA. No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by a party required in the ordinary course of its business or by applicable law or regulation. If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the parties potentially applies to a dispute, the arbitration provision most directly related to the Loan Documents or the subject matter of the dispute shall control. This arbitration provision shall survive termination, amendment or expiration of any of the Loan Documents or any relationship between the parties.
(j) Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party retains the right to pursue in Small Claims Court any dispute within that court’s jurisdiction. Further, this arbitration provision shall apply only to disputes in which either party seeks to recover an amount of money (excluding attorneys’ fees and costs) that exceeds the jurisdictional limit of the Small Claims Court.
SECTION 7.12. LIMITATION ON PAYMENTS. The parties hereto intend to conform to all applicable laws limiting the maximum rate of interest that may be charged or collected by Bank from Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Accordingly, notwithstanding any other provision hereof or any provisions of any other Loan Documents, Borrower shall not be required to make any payment to or for the account of Bank, and Bank shall refund any payment made by Borrower, to the extent that such requirement or such failure
24
to refund would violate or conflict with mandatory and nonwaivable provisions of applicable law limiting the maximum amount of interest which may be charged or collected by Bank from Borrower. To the fullest extent permitted by law, in any action, suit or proceeding pertaining to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the burden of proof, by clear and convincing evidence, shall be on the person claiming that this Section 7.12 applies to limit any obligation of Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or to require Bank to make any refund, or claiming that this Agreement or any other Loan Document conflicts with any applicable law limiting the maximum rate of interest that may be charged or collected by Bank from Borrower, as to each element of such claim.
SECTION 7.13. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS.
(a) All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by Bank, regardless of any investigation made by Bank or on its behalf and notwithstanding that Bank may have had notice or knowledge of any Event of Default, or of any condition, event or act which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute such an Event of Default, at the time of any extension of credit by Bank pursuant to this Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any advance, liability or other obligation of Borrower or any guarantor arising under any Loan Document or otherwise with respect to any advance made hereunder or any Letter of Credit shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or implied by law to the contrary, the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with respect to Borrower’s obligations to compensate, indemnify or reimburse Bank, Bank’s set-off rights, and arbitration shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the commitments of Bank or the termination of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof.
SECTION 7.14. TERMINATION. This Agreement shall terminate upon the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all indebtedness and liabilities (whether direct or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, other than contingent indemnification obligations) of Borrower and any guarantor to Bank under any of the Loan Documents, the cancellation or termination of all commitments of Bank to extend credit to Borrower, and the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit that have been cash collateralized pursuant to the terms hereof); provided that Borrower shall notify Bank in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to this Agreement’s intended termination date.

RECITALS
WHEREAS, Borrower is currently indebted to Bank pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank dated as of December 27, 2011, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of February 13, 2012 (the “Credit Agreement”);
WHEREAS, Borrower has advised Bank that (a) Woodman Labs Cayman, Inc., a company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a wholly owned subsidiary of Borrower (“Cayman Holdco”), has become a Material Subsidiary as of June 30, 2012, and pursuant to Section 4.12(b) of the Credit Agreement, Borrower was obligated to execute and deliver to Bank a pledge agreement with respect to certain equity interests of Borrower in Cayman Holdco and to take other actions and execute other documents required thereunder (collectively, the “Cayman Deliverables”) by not later than ten business days after such date (the “Foreign Subsidiary Designated Default”); (b) the net loss after taxes of Borrower and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2012, was ($5,293,536), and pursuant to Section 4.9(a) of the Credit Agreement, Borrower was required to maintain, and to cause each of its subsidiaries to maintain, the net income after taxes of Borrower and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as of such day of not less than $2,700,000 (the “Net Income Designated Default”); (c) the audited consolidated and consolidating financial statements of Borrower and its subsidiaries accompanied by the auditing firm’s report and opinion, which were required to be delivered by not later 120 days after the end of fiscal year 2011 pursuant to Section 4.3(a) of the Credit Agreement, have not been delivered by such date (the “Audited Financials Designated Default” and together with the Foreign Subsidiary Designated Default and the Net Income Designated Default, the “Designated Defaults” and each, a “Designated Default”); and (d) Borrower intends to consummate the “going public” transaction of Borrower pursuant to an S-1 registration statement to be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Going Public Transaction”);
WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that Bank waive the Designated Defaults and the Events of Default under Section 6.1(c) of the Credit Agreement arising solely as a result of each Designated Default, and Bank has agreed to waive the Designated Defaults and the Events of Default under Section 6.1(c) of the Credit Agreement resulting therefrom, on the terms and conditions set forth herein;
WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that Bank consent to the Going Public Transaction so that no Event of Default under Section 6.1(h) of the Credit Agreement arises as a result thereof, and Bank has agreed to consent to the Going Public Transaction, on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and
WHEREAS, Bank and Borrower have agreed to certain changes in the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement and have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement to reflect said changes.
NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree that the Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows:
1. Limited Waiver and Consent.
(a) Borrower acknowledges that each Designated Default constitutes an Event of Default under Section 6.1(c) of the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the request of Borrower, and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.12(b) of the Credit Agreement and subject to Section 3 hereof, Bank hereby waives the Foreign Subsidiary Designated Default and the Event of Default under Section 6.1(c) of the Credit Agreement directly resulting from the Foreign Subsidiary Designated Default; provided that all of the Cayman Deliverables are completed by not later than 45 days after the date of this Amendment and Waiver. Pursuant to the request of Borrower, and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.9(a) of the Credit Agreement and subject to Section 3 hereof, Bank hereby waives the Net Income Designated Default and the Event of Default under Section 6.1(c) of the Credit Agreement directly resulting from the Net Income Designated Default. Pursuant to the request of Borrower, and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.3(a) of the Credit Agreement and subject to Section 3 hereof, Bank hereby waives the Audited Financials Designated Default and the Event of Default under Section 6.1(c) of the Credit Agreement directly resulting from the Audited Financials Designated Default; provided that the financial statements for fiscal year 2011 and the auditing firm’s report and opinion, each as required by Section 4.3(a) of the Credit Agreement, shall be delivered by not later than November 30, 2012, and the failure to deliver any such documents by such date shall constitute an Event of Default under Section 6.1(c) of the Credit Agreement and the 20-day cure period set forth therein shall not apply to any such failure.
(b) Pursuant to the request of Borrower, and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.1(h) of the Credit Agreement and subject to Section 3 hereof, Bank hereby consents to the consummation of the Going Public Transaction; provided that at the time of the effectiveness of the Going Public Transaction (the “Effective Time”), (i) the representations and warranties of Borrower and any of its subsidiaries contained in the Credit Agreement and in each of the other Loan Documents shall be true on and as of the Effective Time, with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the Effective Time except to the extent that any representation or warranty specifically refers to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true as of such earlier date, (ii) no event or circumstance that has caused or evidences, either in any case or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred and be continuing or shall exist, (iii) no Event of Default and no condition, event or act which with the passage of time to cure such condition, event or act, or the giving of notice or both, if applicable in any such case, would constitute such an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing or shall exist, and (iv) Bank shall be satisfied in its reasonable discretion with amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws of Borrower and shall have received a certificate substantially similar to the certificate described in Section 3(a)(iii) below with respect thereto.
2
The limited waiver and consent set forth in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) (i) shall be limited precisely as written, and the limited consent set forth in the preceding paragraph (b) is provided solely for the purpose of permitting Borrower to consummate the Going Public Transaction without violating the provisions of Section 6.1(h) of the Credit Agreement, (ii) shall not be deemed to be an amendment of, consent to or waiver of Sections 4.3(a), 4.9(a), 4.12(b), 6.1(c) or 6.1(h) of the Credit Agreement in any other instance or of any other terms or conditions of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other document related to the Credit Agreement, (iii) shall not extend nor be deemed to extend to any Event of Default or any condition, event or act which with the passage of time to cure such condition, event or act, or the giving of notice or both, if applicable in any such case, would constitute such an Event of Default that may now exist or hereafter arise under the Credit Agreement, whether similar or dissimilar to any Designated Default or the Going Public Transaction, (iv) shall not impair, restrict or limit any right or remedy of Bank with respect to any Event of Default or any condition, event or act which with the passage of time to cure such condition, event or act, or the giving of notice or both, if applicable in any such case, would constitute such an Event of Default that may now exist or hereafter arise under the Credit Agreement, and (v) shall not constitute any course of dealing or other basis for altering any obligation of Borrower or any right, privilege or remedy of Bank under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. Except as expressly stated herein, Bank reserves all rights, privileges and remedies under the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents.
2. Amendments to the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
(a) Section 1.1(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety, and the following is substituted therefor:
(a) Line of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank hereby agrees to make advances to Borrower from time to time up to and including November 13, 2013, not to exceed at any time the aggregate principal amount of Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) (“Line of Credit”), the proceeds of which shall be used for Borrower’s general corporate purposes and to finance Borrower’s working capital requirements in the ordinary course of business. Borrower’s obligation to repay advances under the Line of Credit shall be evidenced by a promissory note executed by Borrower dated as of December 27, 2011, as modified by the Modification to Revolving Line of Credit Note dated as of November 13, 2012, and as otherwise amended or modified by Borrower and Bank from time to time (the “Line of Credit Note”), all terms of which are incorporated herein by this reference.
(b) Section 1.1(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety, and the following is substituted therefor:
3
(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 standby letters of credit for the account of Borrower for general corporate purposes of Borrower agreed to by Bank (each, a “Letter of Credit” and collectively, “Letters of Credit”); provided however, that the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall not at any time exceed Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000). The form and substance of each Letter of Credit shall be subject to approval by Bank, in its sole discretion. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued for a term not to exceed three hundred sixty five or three hundred sixty six (365 or 366), as applicable, days, as designated by Borrower; provided however, that no Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date more than three hundred sixty five or three hundred sixty six (365 or 366), as applicable, days beyond the maturity date of the Line of Credit; provided further that if any Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date beyond the maturity date or termination date of the Line of Credit, Borrower shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to the earlier of the maturity date or termination date of the Line of Credit, cash collateralize the aggregate amount of all outstanding but undrawn Letters of Credit by depositing in a blocked, non-interest bearing deposit account of Borrower at Bank in the name of Bank and under the sole dominion and control of Bank cash in an aggregate amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the maximum aggregate amount available to be drawn under all outstanding but undrawn Letters of Credit and if additional Letters of Credit become outstanding from and after the date of such deposit, Borrower shall immediately deposit additional cash collateral in an aggregate amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the maximum aggregate amount available to be drawn under such additional Letters of Credit (all such cash deposits, deposit accounts and all balances therein, collectively, the “Letter of Credit Deposits”). Borrower hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) Bank, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all Letter of Credit Deposits, and in all proceeds thereof, all as security for the obligations to which such cash collateral may be applied pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Borrower shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance and disbursement of cash collateral. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit that has been cash collateralized, unless such drawing has become an advance under the Line of Credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or has been repaid by Borrower in accordance with this Agreement, the funds held as cash collateral shall be applied (without any further action by or notice to or from Borrower or any guarantor hereunder) to repay Bank. At such time as the Letter of Credit Deposits exceed the sum of the maximum aggregate amount available to be drawn under all outstanding but undrawn Letters of Credit and the aggregate amount of all drawings under Letters
4
of Credit honored by Bank and not repaid by Borrower, if no Event of Default (as defined herein) has occurred and is continuing, the amount of such excess shall, at the request of Borrower, be released to Borrower. The undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit shall be reserved under the Line of Credit and shall not be available for borrowings thereunder. 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.
(c) Section 4.9(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety, and the following is substituted therefor:
(a) Net income after taxes of Borrower and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis not less than the correlative amount indicated below as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter set forth below, determined on a quarterly basis for such fiscal quarter:

5
(e) Section 4.9(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety, and the following is substituted therefor:
(c) Unrestricted cash and unrestricted readily marketable cash equivalents with maturities less than one year of Borrower or any guarantor hereunder, all held at Bank and Bank’s affiliates in the United States, not subject to any lien other than a lien in favor of Bank, and not pledged to or held by Bank to secure a specified obligation, not less than $15,000,000 at any time.
(f) Section 5.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety, and the following is substituted therefor:

(g) From and after the Effective Time, Section 4.3 of the Credit Agreement is
hereby amended by deleting the word “and” at the end of paragraph (d) thereof, renumbering paragraph (e) as paragraph (g), and adding the following paragraphs thereto:
(e) promptly upon request by Bank, copies of audit reports, management letters or recommendations submitted to the board of directors (or any committee thereof) of Borrower or any of its subsidiaries by independent accountants in connection with the accounts or books of Borrower or any of its subsidiaries or any audit thereof;
