Lender, shall be in writing or by telephone, telecopy transmission or email, to be confirmed in writing by the Borrower if so requested by the Lender, shall be by (i) an Officer of the Borrower; or (ii) a person designated as the Borrower’s agent by an Officer of the Borrower in a writing delivered to the Lender; or (iii) a person whom the Lender reasonably believes to be an Officer of the Borrower or such a designated agent, which confirmation shall specify whether the Advance shall be a Floating Rate Advance or a LIBOR Advance and, with respect to any LIBOR Advance, shall specify the principal amount of the LIBOR Advance and the Interest Period applicable thereto. The Borrower shall repay all Advances even if the Lender does not receive such confirmation and even if the person requesting an Advance was not in fact authorized to do so. Any request for an Advance, whether written or telephonic, shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 have been satisfied as of the time of the request.”
(2) Section 2.2(c) is hereby added to the Credit Agreement as follows:
“(c) Type of Advances. Each Advance shall be funded as either a Floating Rate Advance or a LIBOR Advance, as the Borrower shall specify in a request delivered to the Lender conforming to the requirements of Section 2.2(a); Floating Rate Advances and LIBOR Advances may be outstanding at the same time.

(3) Section 2.3 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:

(a) Converting Floating Rate Advances to LIBOR Advances; Procedures. So long as no Default Period is in effect, the Borrower may convert all or any part of the principal amount of any outstanding Floating Rate Advance into a LIBOR Advance by requesting that the Lender convert same no later than the Cut-off Time on the Business Day immediately preceding the Business Day on which the Borrower wishes the conversion to become effective. Each request that conforms to the terms of this Agreement shall be effective upon receipt by the Lender and shall be confirmed in writing by the Borrower if the Lender so requests by any Officer or designated agent identified in Section 2.2(a) or person reasonably believed by the Lender to be such an Officer or designated agent, which request shall specify the Business Day on which the conversion is to occur, the total amount of the Floating Rate Advance to be converted, and the applicable Interest Period. Each such conversion shall occur on a Business Day, and the aggregate amount of Floating Rate Advances converted to LIBOR Advances shall be in multiples of $500,000, with a minimum conversion amount of at least
5
$500,000. The aggregate principal amount of all LIBOR Advances outstanding shall at no time exceed 80% of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations.
(b) Procedures at End of an Interest Period. Unless the Borrower requests a new LIBOR Advance in accordance with the procedures set forth below, or prepays the principal of an outstanding LIBOR Advance at the expiration of an Interest Period, the Lender shall automatically and without request of the Borrower convert each LIBOR Advance to a Floating Rate Advance on the last day of the relevant Interest Period. So long as no Default exists, the Borrower may cause all or any part of any maturing LIBOR Advance to be renewed as a new LIBOR Advance by requesting that the Lender continue the maturing Advance as a LIBOR Advance no later than the Cut-off Time on the Business Day immediately preceding the Business Day constituting the first day of the new Interest Period. Each such request shall be confirmed in writing by the Borrower upon the Lender’s request by any Officer or designated agent identified in Section 2.2(a), which confirmation shall be effective upon receipt by the Lender, and which shall specify the amount of the expiring LIBOR Advance to be continued and the applicable Interest Period. Each new Interest Period shall begin on a Business Day and the amount of each LIBOR Advance shall be in multiples of $500,000, with a minimum Advance of at least $500,000.
(c) Setting and Notice of Rates. The Lender shall, with respect to any request for a LIBOR Advance under Section 2.2 or a conversion or renewal of a LIBOR Advance under this Section 2.3, provide the Borrower with a LIBOR quote for each Interest Period identified by the Borrower on the Business Day on which the request was made, if the request is received by the Lender prior to the Cut-off Time, or for requests received by the Lender after the Cut-off Time, on the next Business Day or on the Business Day on which the Borrower has requested that the LIBOR Advance be made effective. If the Borrower does not immediately accept a LIBOR quote, the quoted rate shall expire and any subsequent request from Borrower for a LIBOR quote shall be subject to redetermination by Lender of the applicable LIBOR for the LIBOR Advance.
(d) Taxes and Regulatory Costs. Borrower shall pay Lender with respect to any Advance, upon demand and in addition to any other amounts due or to become due hereunder, any and all (i) withholdings, interest equalization taxes, stamp taxes or other taxes (except income and franchise taxes) imposed by any domestic or foreign governmental authority and related in any manner to LIBOR, and (ii) future, supplemental, emergency or other changes in the LIBOR Reserve Percentage, assessment rates imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or similar requirements or costs imposed by any domestic or foreign governmental authority or resulting from compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other governmental authority and related in any manner to LIBOR to the extent
6
they are not included in the calculation of LIBOR. In determining which of the foregoing are attributable to any LIBOR option available to Borrower hereunder, any reasonable allocation made by Lender among its operations shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower.”
(4) Clause (i) of Section 2.5(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:
“(i) $3,000,000 less the L/C Amount, or”
(5) Section 2.9A of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lender agrees to make term loans (each, an “Equipment Advance” and collectively the “Equipment Advances”) to or for the benefit of Borrower, in minimum amounts of $100,000 up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the Equipment Loan Commitment. The Borrower’s obligation to pay the Equipment Advances shall be evidenced by the Equipment Note and shall be secured by the Collateral as provided in Article III. Equipment Advances may not be re-borrowed after repayment is made by the Borrower. Each Equipment Advance shall be advanced directly to the applicable vendor or Borrower, as Borrower may request. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) each Equipment Advance shall be in an amount, as determined by the Lender, not to exceed 80% of Borrower’s invoice cost (net of shipping, taxes, freight, installation, and other so-called “soft costs”) of new or used Equipment that is to be purchased by Borrower with the proceeds of such Advance, or new or used Equipment that has been purchased by Borrower within 30 days prior to the date of such Advance, (ii) the Equipment that is to be acquired or that has been purchased by Borrower must be acceptable to the Lender in all respects, not be a fixture, and not be intended to be affixed to real property or to become installed in or affixed to other goods, (iii) the Lender shall have no obligation to make any Equipment Advance hereunder to the extent that the making thereof would cause the then outstanding amount of all Equipment Advances to exceed the Equipment Loan Commitment, (iv) prior to each such Equipment Advance, Lender shall have received an invoice for the Equipment to be purchased in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, together with evidence satisfactory to Lender that the delivery of such Equipment has been made, (v) Lender may review the value of any Equipment purchased with any Equipment Advance, with the results of such review to be satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion and (vi) the aggregate amount of all Equipment Advances outstanding at any time (including giving effect to any requested Equipment Advance) shall not exceed the lesser of cost or fair market value, of all of the Equipment acquired or financed with the proceeds of such Equipment Advances.
7
(b) Interest shall accrue from the date of each Equipment Advance at the rate specified in Section 2.12(a) and shall be payable on the last day of each month. The principal payments owing on the Equipment Advances shall be amortized and shall be due and payable in thirty-six (36) equal monthly installments of principal, with such installments to be due and payable commencing on the first day of the first month following the making of such Equipment Advance and on the same day of each succeeding month until the date thirty-six (36) months from the first such payment, whereupon the entire remaining unpaid principal balance of such Equipment Advance, together with all accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the Termination Date, the entire unpaid principal balance of the Equipment Note, and all unpaid interest accrued thereon, shall in any event be due and payable.”
(6) Section 2.12(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:
“(b) Margins. The Margins shall be 0% for Advances that are Floating Rate Advances, and 2.75% for Advances that are LIBOR Advances.”
(7) Section 2.12(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:
“(c) Minimum Interest Charge. Notwithstanding the interest payable pursuant to Subsection (a), the Borrower shall pay to the Lender interest of not less than $30,000 per calendar month (the “Minimum Interest Charge”) during the term of this Agreement, and the Borrower shall pay any deficiency between the Minimum Interest Charge and the amount of interest otherwise calculated under Subsection (a) on the first day of each month and on the Termination Date.”
(8) Section 2.13(f) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:
“(f) Termination and Line Reduction Fees. If the Credit Facility is terminated (i) by the Lender during a Default Period that begins before a Maturity Date, (ii) by the Borrower (A) as of a date other than a Maturity Date or (B) as of a Maturity Date but without the Lender having received written notice of such termination at least 90 days before such Maturity Date, or if the Borrower reduces the Maximum Line, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender a fee in an amount equal to a percentage of the Maximum Line (or the reduction of the Maximum Line, as the case may be) as follows: (A) two percent (2.0%) if the termination or reduction occurs on or before June 30, 2006; and (B) one percent (1.0%) if the termination or reduction occurs after June 30, 2006.”
8
(9) Section 2.13(i) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:
“(i) Contracted Funds Breakage Fees. The Borrower may prepay the principal amount of the Revolving Note at any time, whether voluntarily or by acceleration, provided, however, that if the principal amount of any Revolving Note LIBOR Advance is prepaid, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender immediately upon demand a contracted funds breakage fee equal to the sum of the discounted monthly differences for each month from the month of prepayment through the month in which such Interest Period matures, calculated as follows for each such month:
(a) Determine the amount of interest which would have accrued each month on the amount prepaid at (10) the LIBOR Advance rate applicable to such amount had it remained outstanding until the last day of the applicable Interest Period.
(b) Subtract from the amount determined in (i) above the amount of interest which would have accrued for the same month on the amount prepaid for the remaining term of such Interest Period at LIBOR in effect on the date of prepayment for new loans made for such term in a principal amount equal to the amount prepaid.
(c) If the result obtained in (ii) for any month is greater than zero, discount that difference by LIBOR used in (ii) above.
Borrower acknowledges that a prepayment may result in Lender incurring additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities, and that it is difficult to ascertain the full extent of such costs, expenses and/or liabilities. Borrower therefore agrees to pay the above-described prepayment fee and agrees that said prepayment fee represents a reasonable estimate of the prepayment costs, expenses and/or liabilities of the Lender.”
(10) Section 2.14(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:
“(a) Time For Interest Payments. Interest accruing on Advances shall be due and payable in arrears on the last day of each month and on the Termination Date. Interest accruing on each LIBOR Advance shall be due and payable on the last day of the applicable Interest Period; provided, however, for Interest Periods that are longer than one month, interest shall nevertheless be due and payable monthly on the last day of each month, and on the last day of the Interest Period.”
