Section 2.05. At the request of any Borrower, and upon the execution of letter of credit documentation satisfactory to Bank, Bank, within the limits of the Borrowing Base, as then computed and also within the limits of the Credit Limit as then computed, shall issue letters of credit from time to time by Bank for the account of any Borrower (collectively “Letters of Credit”).

Section 2.07. Borrower shall pay to Bank the principal amount of all Revolving Loans as follows:

(a) Credit Limit or Borrowing Base Exceeded.

-9-

(b) Payment in Full on Termination. On termination of this Agreement or upon acceleration of the Obligations, Borrower shall pay to Bank the entire outstanding principal balance of all Revolving Loans and shall deliver to Bank cash collateral in an amount equal to the aggregate of (A) amounts then undrawn on all outstanding Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement for the account of the Borrower, and (B) the amount of all outstanding acceptances issued pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.08. It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply strictly with applicable usury laws, if any; accordingly, notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in this Agreement or any other documents or instruments executed in connection herewith, in no event shall this Agreement or such documents or instruments require or permit the payment, taking, reserving, receiving, collecting or charging of any sums constituting interest under applicable laws which exceed the maximum amount permitted by such laws. If any such excess interest is called for, contracted for, charged, paid, taken, reserved, collected or received in connection with the Obligations or in any communication by Bank or any other Person to the Borrower or any other Person, or in the event all or part of the principal of the Obligations or interest thereon shall be prepaid or accelerated, so that under any of such circumstances or under any other circumstance whatsoever the amount of interest contracted for, charged, taken, collected, reserved, or received on the amount of principal actually outstanding from time to time under this Agreement shall exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable usury laws, if any, then in any such event it is agreed as follows: (a) the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control, (b) neither the Borrower nor any other Person now or hereafter liable for the payment of the Obligations shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent such interest is in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable usury laws, if any, (c) any such excess which is or has been received notwithstanding this paragraph shall be credited against the then unpaid principal balance hereof or, if the Obligations have been or would be paid in full by such credit, refunded to the Borrower, and (d) the provisions of this Agreement and the other documents or instruments executed in connection herewith, and any communication to the Borrower, shall immediately be deemed reformed and such excess interest reduced, without the necessity of executing any other document, to the maximum lawful rate allowed under applicable laws as now or hereafter construed by courts having jurisdiction hereof or thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged, taken, collected, reserved, or received in connection herewith which are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the maximum lawful rate shall be made to the extent permitted by applicable laws by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading during the period of the full term of the Obligations, including all prior and subsequent renewals and extensions, all interest at any time contracted for, charged, taken, collected, reserved or received. The terms of this paragraph shall be deemed to be incorporated in every loan document and communication relating to the Obligations.

Section 2.09. In order to facilitate the requesting and making of advances hereunder and the delivery of certain certificates, Xxxxx Rule, Level Industries, Tru-Stone and Kinemetric do hereby appoint Xxxxxxxx as their authorized agent to request, receive and distribute all Revolving Loans made hereunder, to communicate with the Bank with respect to the Revolving Loans, and to execute and furnish the Bank with all Margin, Covenant Compliance and Borrowing Base certificates, and Xxxxxxxx hereby accepts such appointment.

-10-

Section 2.10. In addition to all other sums payable hereunder, the Borrower shall pay the Bank a fee equal to one-quarter of one (0.25%) percent of the difference between: (i) the Credit Limit, and (ii) the average amount of the principal balance of all Revolving Loans outstanding hereunder for each quarterly period this Agreement is in effect (the "Unused Fee"). Such Unused Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears. On any date which an Unused Fee is due hereunder, the Bank may charge the Borrower's demand deposit account(s) with the amount thereof. The failure of the Bank to charge such account shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligations to pay the Unused Fee.

3.	BANK’S REPORTS.

After the end of each month, Bank will render to Borrower a statement of Borrower’s Revolving Loan account with Bank hereunder, showing all applicable credits and debits. Each statement shall be considered correct and to have been accepted by Borrower and shall be conclusively binding upon Borrower in respect of all charges, debits and credits of whatsoever nature contained therein under or pursuant to this Agreement, and the closing balance shown therein, unless Borrower notifies Bank in writing of any discrepancy within twenty (20) days from the mailing by Bank to Borrower of any such monthly statement.

4.	CAPITAL ADEQUACY.

If after the date hereof, Bank determines that (a) the adoption of any applicable law, rule, or regulation regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies or the subsidiaries thereof, (b) any change in the interpretation or administration of any such law, rule or regulation by any governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (c) compliance by Bank or its holding company with any request or directive of any such governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on Bank’s capital to a level below that which Bank could have achieved (taking into consideration Bank’s and its holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy immediately before such adoption, change, or compliance and assuming that Bank’s capital was fully utilized prior to such adoption, change, or compliance) but for such adoption, change, or compliance as a consequence of Bank’s commitment to make advances pursuant hereto by any amount deemed by Bank to be material:

(a) Bank shall promptly, after Bank’s determination of such occurrence, give notice thereof to Borrower; and

(b) Borrower shall pay to Bank as an additional fee from time to time, on demand, such amount as Bank certified to be the amount that will compensate Bank for such reduction.

A certificate of Bank claiming entitlement to compensation as set forth above will be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Such certificate will set forth the nature of the occurrence giving rise to such compensation, the additional amount or amounts to be paid to Bank and the method by which such amounts were determined. In determining such amount, Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution method.

(c) All machinery, Equipment, Fixtures and other Goods whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the Borrower and wherever located, all replacements and substitutions therefor or accessions thereto and all proceeds thereof (all hereinafter, collectively, called the “Equipment”); and

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Bank shall not perfect its security interest in the Collateral except as provided herein.

For purposes of clarification the Bank's right to perfect its security interest in the Collateral is not predicated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default in the same financial covenant for two (2) consecutive quarters. The Bank's filing of the Financing Statements and the Patent Security Agreement shall in no event be deemed a waiver of any rights or remedies that the Bank has or may have against the Borrower at such time resulting from the occurrence of such Event(s) of Default and the Bank hereby reserves and preserves all of its rights and remedies against the Borrower under this Agreement, any related documents executed in connection with this Agreement and under applicable law. In the event that the Bank has filed Financing Statements, the Bank shall promptly file termination statements with respect to the filed Financing Statements and a release of the Patent Security Agreement upon the Borrower's achieving a Debt Service Coverage Ratio in excess of 2.0:1.0 and a ratio of Total Debt divided by Tangible Net Worth on a consolidated basis is less than 1.0:1.0 as evidenced by the financial statements furnished to the Bank in accordance with Section 11 hereof and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at that time. For purposes of this covenant, Debt Service Coverage Ratio means Adjusted EBITDA measured at quarter end based on the previous 12 months financial performance divided by Fixed Charges measured at the same quarter end. The Bank, however, may refile such Financing Statements and refile the Patent Security Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event(s) of Default based solely upon the financial covenants contained in Section 13 herein for two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters thereafter without any additional consent or authorization from the Borrower. Thereafter, the Bank will refile such Financing Statements and/or Termination Statements all in accordance with this Section 5(e).

Such Landlord's Consents and Waiver of Lien and Warehousemen's Letters shall be delivered to the Bank in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank in its sole discretion within thirty (30) days of the earlier to occur of the Borrower's knowledge of such Event of Default or the Borrower's receipt of written notice by the Bank of such Event of Default. The Borrower's failure to use all reasonable efforts to comply with this Section 5(f) shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

SECTION 15.

RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT; SET-OFF; EXPENSES; POWER OF ATTORNEY.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Bank shall have the following rights and remedies, certain of which are predicated upon the Bank having perfected its security interest in the Collateral.

Section 15.01. Bank may declare any obligation Bank may have hereunder to be cancelled, declare all Obligations of Borrower to be due and payable and proceed to enforce payment of the Obligations and to exercise any and all of the rights and remedies afforded to Bank by the UCC (at such time as the Bank has perfected its security interest in the Collateral) or under the terms of this Agreement or otherwise. In addition, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, if Bank proceeds to enforce payment of the Obligations, Borrower shall be obligated to deliver to Bank cash collateral in an amount equal to the aggregate amounts then undrawn on all outstanding Letters of Credit or acceptances issued or guaranteed by Bank for the account of Borrower, and Bank may proceed to enforce payment of the same and to exercise all rights and remedies afforded to Bank by the UCC or under the terms of this Agreement or otherwise. Upon the occurrence of, and during the continuance of, an Event of Default, the Borrower, as additional compensation to the Bank for its increased credit risk, promises to pay interest on all Obligations (including, without limitation, principal, whether or not past due, past due interest and any other amounts past due under this Agreement) at a per annum rate of four (4%) percent greater than the rate of interest then specified in Section 2.03 of this Agreement.

Section 15.02. In connection with the Bank’s exercise of the Bank’s rights under this Agreement, the Bank may enter upon, occupy and use any premises owned or occupied by the Borrower, and may exclude the Borrower from such premises or portion thereof as may have been so entered upon, occupied, or used by the Bank. The Bank shall not be required to remove any of the Collateral from any such premises upon the Bank’s taking possession thereof, and may render any Collateral unusable to the Borrower. In no event shall the Bank be liable to the Borrower for use or occupancy by the Bank of any premises pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 15.03. Any sale or other disposition of the Collateral may be at public or private sale upon such terms and in such manner as the Bank deems advisable, having due regard to compliance with any statute or regulation which might affect, limit or apply to the Bank’s disposition of the Collateral. The Bank may conduct any such sale or other disposition of the Collateral upon the Borrower’s premises. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value, or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market (in which event the Bank shall provide the Borrower with such notice as may be practicable under the circumstances), the Bank shall give the Borrower at least the greater of the minimum notice required by law or seven (7) days prior written notice of the date, time and place of any proposed public sale, and of the date after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral may be made. The Bank may purchase the Collateral, or any portion of it at any such sale.

-30-

Section 15.04. If the Bank sells any of the Collateral on credit, the Borrower will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser of such Collateral and received by the Bank. If the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Bank may re-sell the Collateral and the Borrower shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale.

Section 15.05. The Bank may require the Borrower to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Bank at the Borrower’s sole risk and expense at a place or places which are reasonably convenient to both the Bank and the Borrower.

Section 15.06. Borrower shall, following the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, deliver to Bank, daily, a schedule in form and content satisfactory to Bank describing the invoices issued by Borrower since the last schedule submitted to Bank. The schedules to be provided under this subsection are solely for the convenience of Bank in administering this Agreement and maintaining records of the Collateral. Borrower’s failure to provide Bank with any such schedule shall not affect the security interest of Bank in such Accounts.

Section 15.07. Within thirty (30) calendar days after the end of each month or on such other basis as may be required by Bank from time to time, Borrower shall, following the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, submit to Bank an accounts payable aging report in form satisfactory to Bank showing the amounts due and owing on all accounts payable according to Borrower’s records as of the close of such month or such shorter period as may be required by Bank from time to time, together with such other information as Bank may require. If Borrower’s monthly accounts payable aging reports are prepared by an accounting service or other agent, Borrower hereby authorizes such service or agent to deliver such accounts payable aging reports and any other related documents to Bank.

Section 15.08. From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, Borrower will immediately, upon receipt of all checks, drafts, cash and other remittances in payment of any Inventory sold or in payment or on account of Borrower’s accounts, contracts, contract rights, notes, bills, drafts, acceptances, general intangibles, choses in action and all other forms of obligations, deliver the same to Bank accompanied by a remittance report in form specified by Bank. Said proceeds shall be delivered to Bank in the same form received except for the endorsement of Borrower where necessary to permit collection of items, which endorsement Borrower agrees to make. Bank will credit (conditional upon final collection) all such payments against the principal or interest of any Revolving Loans secured hereby; provided, however, for the purpose of computing interest, any items requiring clearance or payment shall not be considered to have been credited against any Revolving Loans secured hereby until two (2) business days after receipt by Bank of any such items. The order and method of such application shall be in the sole discretion of Bank and any portion of such funds which Bank elects not to so apply shall be paid over from time to time by Bank to Borrower. Bank will at all times have the right to require Borrower (a) to enter into a lockbox arrangement with Bank for the collection of such remittances and payments, or (b) to maintain its deposit accounts at Bank or, in the alternative, at another financial institution which has agreed to accept drafts drawn on it by Bank under a written depository transfer agreement with Bank and to block Borrower’s account and waive its rights as against such account.

-31-

Section 15.09. Bank may at any time, after the occurrence of an Event of Default or an event which, with notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, notify account debtors that Collateral has been assigned to Bank and that payments shall be made directly to or as directed by Bank. Upon request of Bank at any time, Borrower will so notify such account debtors and will indicate on all xxxxxxxx to such account debtors that their Accounts must be paid directly to or as directed by Bank. Bank shall have full power to collect, compromise, endorse, sell or otherwise deal with the Collateral or proceeds thereof in its own name or in the name of Borrower.

16. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

BORROWER AND BANK EACH HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. Borrower hereby certifies that neither Bank nor any of its representatives, agents or counsel has represented, expressly or otherwise, that Bank would not, in the event of any such suit, action or proceeding, seek to enforce this waiver of right to trial by jury. Borrower acknowledges that it has read the provisions of this Agreement and in particular, this section; has consulted legal counsel; understands the right it is granting in this Agreement and is waiving in this section in particular; and makes the above waiver knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement or elsewhere to the contrary, the security interest, Bank’s rights and remedies hereunder and Borrower’s obligations and liabilities hereunder shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Obligations outstanding, or contracted or committed for (whether or not outstanding), shall be finally and irrevocably paid in full. No Collateral shall be released or financing statement terminated (if applicable) until such final and irrevocable payment in full of the Obligations, as described in the preceding sentence.

-32-

Section 19.03. If and to the extent that any of the Borrowers shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations of each Borrower to Bank under this Agreement, as and when due or to perform any of such Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event the other Borrower, under this Agreement will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation.

Section 19.04. The Obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this section constitute full recourse Obligations of each Borrower enforceable against each such Borrower to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other circumstance whatsoever.

Section 19.05. Each Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of any Revolving Loans made under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by Bank under or in respect of any of the Obligations of each Borrower to Bank under this Agreement, and, generally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement. Each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations of each Borrower to Bank under this Agreement, the acceptance of any payment of any of such Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by Bank at any time or times in respect of any default by any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by Bank in respect of any of the Obligations of each Borrower to Bank under this Agreement, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of such Obligations of each Borrower to Bank or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on Bank's part with respect to the failure by any Borrower to comply with any of its respective Obligations, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this section, afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving any Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its Obligations under this section, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations under this Agreement remain unsatisfied, the Obligations of such Borrower under this section shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The Obligations of each Borrower under this section shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any other Borrower or Bank.

The provisions of this section are made for the benefit of Bank and Bank's successors and assigns, and may be enforced by Bank in good faith from time to time against any or all of the Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on Bank's part first to marshal any of its claims or to exercise any of its rights against any Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available to Bank against any other Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations under this Agreement or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this section shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations of each Borrower to Bank under this Agreement shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied.

The provisions of this paragraph are made for the express benefit of each Borrower as well as Bank, and may be enforced independently by each Borrower or any successor in interest to each Borrower.

20. MISCELLANEOUS.

Section 20.01. No delay or omission on the part of Bank in exercising any rights shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. Waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion. All Bank’s rights and remedies, whether evidenced hereby or by any other agreement, instrument or paper, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.

-34-

Section 20.04. Borrower agrees that any and all Revolving Loans made by Bank to Borrower or for its account under this Agreement shall be conclusively deemed to have been authorized by Borrower and to have been made pursuant to duly authorized requests therefor on its behalf.

THIRD AMENDMENT TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (ALL ASSETS)

Reference is made to that certain Loan and Security Agreement (All Assets) dated June 29, 2009, as amended (the "Agreement") by the among The X. X. Xxxxxxxx Company, Xxxxx Rule Company, Inc., Level Industries, Inc., Tru-Stone Technologies, Inc. and Xxxxxxxx Kinemetric Engineering, Inc. (each and together, the "Borrower") and TD Bank, N.A. (the "Bank"). The Agreement was previously amended by a First Amendment of Loan and Security Agreement (All Assets) dated December 18, 2009, and a Second Amendment of Loan and Security Agreement (All Assets) dated November 9, 2010. Terms used in this Amendment which are defined in the Agreement shall have the same meanings as defined therein, unless otherwise defined herein.

RECITALS

The Bank has previously agreed to make certain loan advances to the Borrower and to issue or cause to be issued certain letters of credit for the account of the Borrower pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement.

-52-

The loan advances under the Agreement are presently evidenced by the Note.

All indebtedness of the Borrower to the Bank, including, without limitation, the obligations owing under the Revolving Note, is secured pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and all other transaction documents (collectively, the "Security Documents"), with the proviso that the Bank shall not perfect its security interest in the Collateral except as provided therein following a Security Trigger Event.

The parties desire that certain amendments be made to the Agreement, that a new $15,500,000.00 Term Loan be extended, and that Xxxxxxxx Bytewise Development, Inc., a Delaware corporation with offices located at 0000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000 ("Xxxxxxxx Bytewise"), be added as a Borrower and be a party to this Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the Agreement is hereby amended, effective immediately, as follows:

The term Borrower as used in the Agreement is hereby amended to mean the Borrower and Xxxxxxxx Bytewise.

Xxxxxxxx Bytewsie, for valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, hereby repeats and restates each and every covenant, agreement, representation and warranty of the Agreement as if fully stated herein as of the date hereof, and contemporaneously with the execution of this Amendment, Xxxxxxxx Bytewise shall execute an Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit “A” attached hereto.

The Note shall hereby be replaced by an Amended and Restated Revolving Note in the maximum principal amount of Twenty-three Million ($23,000,000.00) Dollars and payable to the order of the Bank in the form of Exhibit “B” attached hereto.

Xxxxxxxx Bytewise hereby grants to Bank a continuing security interest in all of its Collateral as more fully outlined in Section 5 of the Agreement as if fully restated herein as of the date hereof. As a Borrower under the Agreement, Starett Bytewise hereby irrevocably authorizes Bank at any time and from time to time after the occurrence of a Security Trigger Event to file in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto in the form of Exhibit “C” attached hereto, and/or accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 5(e) of the Agreement that (a) indicate the Collateral (i) as all assets of Borrower or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of such jurisdiction, or (ii) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (b) contain any other information required by the Uniform Commercial Code for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including (i) whether Borrower is an organization, the type of organization and any organization identification number issued to Borrower, and (ii) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing or indicating Collateral as as-extracted Collateral or timber to be cut, a sufficient description of real property to which the Collateral relates. Borrower agrees to furnish any such information to Bank promptly upon request. Borrower also ratifies its authorization for Bank to have filed in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any like initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof.

-53-

As a Borrower under the Agreement, Xxxxxxxx Bytewise similarly agrees not to create, permit to be created or suffer to exist any Lien upon any of the Collateral or any other property of Borrower, now owned or hereafter acquired, except for Permitted Liens as defined in Section 13.08 of the Agreement.

Xxxxxxxx Bytewise hereby warrants that is has no places of business other than 0000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, which is its principal executive office and where all owned inventory is presently located, unless otherwise noted on Schedule “A” attached hereto, and that it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware as a corporation.

Section 1.01 of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the definition of “Tangible Net Worth”, and inserting the following in lieu thereof:

“Tangible Net Worth” shall mean the equity of Xxxxxxxx and its consolidated subsidiaries determined in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, exclusive of the effect of the Borrower’s “minimum pension liability” (whether as a result of an under-funded or over-funded pension plan), and subtracting therefrom (a) intangibles (as determined in accordance with such principles so applied), and (b) Debt owing to Borrower from any employee, Owner, or other Affiliate of Borrower.

Section 2.01 of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following sentence at the conclusion of that Section:

“The Bank shall also make a term loan to the Borrower in the original principal amount of $15,500,000.00 (the “Term Loan”).

Section 5(e) of the Agreement is hereby stricken in its entirety and the following new Section 5(e) substituted therefor:

“(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Bank shall not perfect its security interest in the Collateral except as provided herein. Upon the execution of this Agreement, however, the Bank shall hold a Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statement for each Borrower naming such Borrower as a debtor and the Bank as a secured party (together, the "Financing Statements") and a Patent Security Agreement in escrow. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default(s) hereunder based upon the Borrower's failure to adhere to any of the financial covenants contained and calculated in accordance with Section 13 hereof in any two (2) consecutive quarters (a “Security Trigger Event”), the Bank may file the Financing Statements in such jurisdictions deemed necessary by the Bank to perfect the Bank's security interest and the Bank may file the Patent Security Agreement with the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") in the Collateral without any additional consent or authorization from the Borrower. For purposes of clarification the Bank's right to perfect its security interest in the Collateral is not predicated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default in the same financial covenant for two (2) consecutive quarters. The Bank's filing of the Financing Statements and the Patent Security Agreement shall in no event be deemed a waiver of any rights or remedies that the Bank has or may have against the Borrower at such time resulting from the occurrence of such Event(s) of Default and the Bank hereby reserves and preserves all of its rights and remedies against the Borrower under this Agreement, any related documents executed in connection with this Agreement and under applicable law.

For purposes of this covenant, Debt Service Coverage Ratio means Adjusted EBITDA measured at quarter end based on the previous 12 months financial performance divided by Fixed Charges measured at the same quarter end. The Bank, however, may refile such Financing Statements and refile the Patent Security Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event(s) of Default based solely upon the financial covenants contained in Section 13 herein for two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters thereafter without any additional consent or authorization from the Borrower. Thereafter, the Bank will refile such Financing Statements and/or Termination Statements all in accordance with this Section 5(e).
