Amendment”) dated August 17, 2010, and the Second Amendment to Secured Promissory Note and Loan and
Security Agreement (“Second Amendment”) dated November 18, 2010 (“Loan Agreement”), between the
Borrower and the Lender, the Lender agreed to make available to the Borrower a line of credit in
accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of the Loan Agreement. The Borrower’s obligation to
repay the line of credit, with interest and other fees and charges, is evidenced by the Secured
Promissory Note dated July 29, 2010, in the principal amount of One Million Five Hundred Thousand

Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($2,500,000.00). The indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the
Borrower under and in connection with the line of credit are guaranteed by the Guarantor pursuant
to the terms of the Corporate Guaranty Agreement dated July 29, 2010, and affirmed on August 17,
2010 and November 18, 2010, executed by the Guarantor (the “Guaranty Agreement”). The Loan
Agreement, Promissory Note, the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Guaranty Agreement, and

each fiscal year of Borrower thereafter, financial statements of the Guarantor and its
subsidiaries as of the end of such fiscal year, on a consolidated basis, audited by a firm
