B. Borrowers have requested that Lenders (i) increase the Additional Term Loan Commitment from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 and (ii) agree to make certain other modifications to the Loan Agreement, and Lenders have agreed to the request of Borrowers on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Amendments to Loan Agreement.

1.2 Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement is amended to add the following definitions:

First Amendment means that certain First Amendment to this Agreement dated the First Amendment Date, by and among the Borrowers, Lenders and Agent.

First Amendment Date means December 31, 2012.

Mandatory 2013 Prepayment is defined in Section 2.5(d).

1.3 Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement is amended to delete the definition of “Additional Term Loan Commitment” in its entirety and replace it with the following:

Additional Term Loan Commitment means $10,000,000.

1.4 Sections 2.4(b) and 2.4(c) of the Loan Agreement are deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:

“(b) Concurrently with (and in addition to) any and all payments of the Term Loan Principal Debt that are funded on or prior to the third anniversary of the First Amendment Date other than (x) Annual Excess Cash Flow Prepayments, (y) required quarterly amortization payments pursuant to Section 3.2(b), and (z) as set forth in Sections 2.5(b)(i), 2.5(b)(iii), 2.5(b)(v), 2.5(d), 3.7 and 3.8, Borrowers shall pay to Lenders a premium in cash, as follows:

(i) five percent (5.00%) of the amount of Term Loan Principal Debt paid if such prepayment occurs on or prior to the first anniversary of the First Amendment Date;

(ii) four percent (4.00%) of the amount of Term Loan Principal Debt paid if such prepayment occurs after the first anniversary of the First Amendment Date and on or prior to the second anniversary of the First Amendment Date; or

(iii) one percent (1.00%) of the amount of Term Loan Principal Debt paid if such prepayment occurs after the second anniversary of the First Amendment Date and on or prior to the third anniversary of the First Amendment Date.

Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the foregoing prepayment premiums shall be made regardless of whether the applicable prepayment was made voluntarily or involuntarily, or before or after acceleration of the Obligation, and regardless of whether the payment is made in connection with a Change of Control or Liquidity Event, as liquidated damages and compensation for the costs of making funds available under this Agreement, and as a consequence of a reasonable calculation of the Lenders’ lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticability of determining actual damages resulting from such payment.

(c) From and after the first day immediately after the third anniversary of the First Amendment Date, Borrowers may make optional prepayments of the Term Loan Principal Debt without premium or penalty, subject to subsection (a) above. Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of the Term Notes may not be re-borrowed without the Lenders’ written consent.”

1.6 Section 3.4(a) of the Loan Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Term Loan Principal Debt shall accrue interest at a floating annual rate equal to the LIBOR Rate (as defined in Section 1.1 of this Agreement) plus nine and 50/100 percent (9.50%) per annum (the “Term Loan Interest Rate”); provided, however, that if the Mandatory 2013 Prepayment is not made by May 31, 2013, then the Term Loan Interest Rate shall be equal to the LIBOR Rate (as defined in Section 1.1 of this Agreement) plus twelve and 50/100 percent (12.50%) per annum for the period commencing on June 1, 2013 and ending on the date of payment of the Mandatory 2013 Prepayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Term Loan Interest Rate shall not at any time be (i) less than eleven and 50/100 percent (11.50%) per annum nor (ii) greater than the Maximum Rate.”
