ARTICLE I CREDIT TERMS

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 August 19, 2018, not to exceed at any time the aggregate principal amount of Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) (“Line of Credit”) (as such amount may be reduced pursuant to Section 1.1(d) below), the proceeds of which shall be used for general corporate purposes; provided that prior to delivery of a Compliance Certificate for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2014, Bank shall not be required to make any advances to Borrower under this Agreement unless the net income attributable to Borrower as of the most recently ended calendar quarter as set forth in the financial statements and Compliance Certificate delivered to Bank pursuant to Section 4.3 for such calendar quarter (or, with respect to the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2013, the net income attributable to Borrower as of the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2013 as set forth in the financial statements delivered to Bank and filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission), measured on a rolling 4-quarter basis and determined as of the last day of such prior calendar quarter, was greater than or equal to Zero Dollars ($0.00). Borrower’s obligation to repay advances under the Line of Credit shall be evidenced by a promissory note dated as of August 19, 2013 (“Line of Credit Note”), all terms of which are incorporated herein by this reference.

(b) Limitation on Borrowings. Outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit, to a maximum of the principal amount set forth above, shall not at any time exceed an aggregate of Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) (as such amount may be reduced pursuant to Section 1.1(d) below) less the undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit.

(c) 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 and commercial letters of credit for the account of Borrower (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 Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000). 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 (365) days, as designated by Borrower; provided however, that (i) subject to the following clause (ii), any Letter of Credit with an initial term not exceeding three hundred sixty-five (365) days may provide, upon Borrower’s request and at Bank’s discretion, for its automatic renewal for additional periods not exceeding three hundred sixty-five (365) days and (ii) no Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date subsequent to the maturity date of the Line of Credit. 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.

(d) Borrowing, Repayment, Reduction and Termination by Borrower. 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. Borrower may from time to time, with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Bank, without premium or penalty, permanently reduce the maximum amount available to Borrower under the Line of Credit; provided however that such amount shall not be reduced by Borrower to less than $20,000,000. Provided that there are no suits, actions, proceedings or claims pending or threatened against any Indemnified Person under this Agreement with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities, Borrower may terminate the Line of Credit at any time prior to August 19, 2018, if it delivers a written notice to Bank of its intention to do so at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed termination date and Bank shall, at Borrower’s expense, release or terminate any filings or other agreements that perfect Bank’s security interest in or liens on the Collateral (as defined herein and in any other Loan Documents), upon Bank’s receipt of each of the following, in form and content satisfactory to Bank: (a) cash payment in full of all obligations of Borrower to Bank under the Loan Documents, including without limitation, the payment of all indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of Borrower to Bank under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than Unasserted Contingent Indemnification Claims), and completed performance by Borrower with respect to its other obligations under the Loan Documents, (b) evidence that any obligation of Bank to extend credit to Borrower under any Loan Document has been terminated, (c) a general release of all claims against Bank by Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries party to any Loan Document relating to Bank’s performance and obligations under the Loan Documents, and

{Z0022852/25 }    2

(d) an agreement by Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries party to any Loan Document to indemnify Bank for any payments received by Bank that are applied to the obligations of Borrower to Bank under the Loan Documents as a final payoff that may subsequently be returned or otherwise not paid for any reason.

1.2. INTEREST/FEES.

(a) Interest. The outstanding principal balance of the Line of Credit shall bear interest, 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 the rate of interest set forth in each promissory note or other instrument or document executed in connection therewith.

(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) Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay to Bank a non-refundable commitment fee for the Line of Credit equal to Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000), which fee shall be due and payable in full on the date hereof.

(d) Unused Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay to Bank a fee equal to one hundred seventy-five thousandths of one percent (0.175%) 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 first day of each fiscal quarter. For purposes of computing the unused commitment fee, the amount available to be drawn under Letters of Credit then outstanding plus the amount of all drawings under Letters of Credit and not yet reimbursed shall be considered usage of the Line of Credit.

(e) Letter of Credit Fees. Borrower shall pay to Bank (i) fees upon the issuance of and renewal of each Letter of Credit equal to the product of the Letter of Credit Fee Margin multiplied by the face amount of such Letter of Credit, and (ii) fees upon the payment or negotiation of each drawing under any Letter of Credit and fees 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.

As used in this Agreement, “Letter of Credit Fee Margin” means, through and including December 1, 2013, and until the first adjustment occurs as specified below, one and one half of one percent (1.50%).  After December 1, 2013, the Letter of Credit Fee Margin shall be adjusted each fiscal quarter of Borrower on the basis of the ratio of Total Liabilities to Tangible Net Worth of Borrower, in each case, measured on a consolidated basis, as of the last day of the previous fiscal quarter, as determined by Bank, in accordance with the following table:

{Z0022852/25 }    3

Total Liabilities to Tangible Net Worth	Letter of Credit Fee Margin
< 0.25:1.00	1.30%
>0.25:1.00	1.50%

Any reductions or increases in the Letter of Credit Fee Margin will be made following receipt of Borrower’s financial statements, together with the related Compliance Certificate, as required under Section 4.3.  Each Letter of Credit Fee Margin change shall become effective on the first day of the month following the date on which such financial statements are due under Section 4.3, as Bank in its sole discretion deems appropriate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) if Borrower fails to deliver any financial statements, together with the related Compliance Certificate, in a timely manner as required under the Credit Agreement, Bank may increase any Letter of Credit Fee Margin to the highest Letter of Credit Fee Margin set forth above, in addition to imposing the default interest rate applicable under the terms of the Line of Credit Note, and (B) no reduction in any Letter of Credit Fee Margin will be made if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time that such reduction would otherwise be made.

If amended or restated financial statements would change previously calculated Letter of Credit Fee Margin, or if Bank determines in its reasonable discretion that any financial statements have materially misstated Borrower’s financial condition, then Bank may, using the most accurate information available to it, recalculate the financial test or tests governing the Letter of Credit Fee Margin and retroactively reduce or increase the Letter of Credit Fee Margin from the date of receipt of such amended or restated financial statements and charge Borrower additional fees, which may be imposed from the beginning of the appropriate fiscal quarter to which the restated statements or recalculated financial tests relate or to the beginning of the fiscal quarter in which any Event of Default has occurred, as Bank in its sole discretion deems appropriate.

1.3. COLLECTION OF PAYMENTS. Borrower authorizes Bank to collect all principal, interest and fees due under each credit subject hereto by charging any deposit account maintained by Borrower with Bank for the full amount thereof; provided that interest payments and unused fees will be invoiced before Bank charges any such account. Should there be insufficient funds in any such deposit account to pay all such sums when due, the full amount of such deficiency shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower.

1.4. COLLATERAL. As security for all indebtedness and other obligations of Borrower to Bank subject hereto, Borrower hereby grants to Bank security interests of first priority in all Borrower’s personal property, other than Excluded Property. As security for all indebtedness and other obligations of Borrower to Bank subject hereto, Borrower shall cause each of its Domestic Subsidiaries to grant to Bank security interests of first priority in all of each such Person’s personal property, other than Excluded Property. All of the foregoing shall be evidenced by and subject to the terms of such security agreements, financing statements, 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

{Z0022852/25 }    4

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.

1.5. GUARANTIES AND PLEDGES. The payment and performance of all indebtedness and other obligations of Borrower to Bank shall be guaranteed jointly and severally by all Domestic Subsidiaries of Borrower, whether now existing or hereafter acquired or formed, as evidenced by and subject to the terms of guaranties in form and substance satisfactory to Bank. When a Person becomes a Subsidiary of Borrower, Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days after such event (or such later date as permitted by Bank in its sole discretion), (i) deliver to Bank a pledge agreement and appropriate certificates and powers or financing statements, pledging all of the direct or beneficial ownership interest in such new Subsidiary reasonably satisfactory to Bank other than any such ownership interests that constitute Excluded Property (which pledge, if reasonably requested by Bank, shall be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction of such Subsidiary), (ii) cause any such new Subsidiary that is a Domestic Subsidiary to execute and deliver to Bank a secured guaranty of all of Borrower’s indebtedness and obligations to Bank, together with such other security documents and appropriate financing statements, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank (including being sufficient to grant Bank a first priority security interest in, and lien upon, the assets of such new Domestic Subsidiary other than Excluded Property) and (iii) provide to Bank all other documentation, including without limitation, if requested by Bank, one or more opinions of counsel reasonably satisfactory to Bank, which in Bank’s opinion is appropriate with respect to the execution and delivery of the applicable documentation referred to above.

hereof, to set off against, and to appropriate and apply to the payment of, Borrower’s obligations and liabilities under the Loan Documents (whether matured or unmatured, fixed or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated), any and all amounts owing by Bank to Borrower (whether payable in U.S. dollars or any other currency, whether matured or unmatured, and in the case of deposits, whether general or special (except trust and escrow accounts), time or demand and however evidenced), and (b) pending any such action, to the extent necessary, to hold such amounts as collateral to secure such obligations and liabilities and to return as unpaid for insufficient funds any and all checks and other items drawn against any deposits so held as Bank, in its sole discretion, may elect. Borrower hereby grants to Bank a security interest in all deposits and accounts maintained with Bank to secure the payment of all obligations and liabilities of Borrower to Bank under the Loan Documents.

7.16. ARBITRATION.

(a) Arbitration. The parties hereto agree, upon demand by any party, to submit to binding arbitration all claims, disputes and controversies between or among them (and their respective employees, officers, directors, attorneys, and other agents), whether in tort, contract or otherwise in any way arising out of or relating to (i) any credit subject hereto, or any of the Loan Documents, and their negotiation, execution, collateralization, administration, repayment, modification, extension, substitution, formation, inducement, enforcement, default or termination; or (ii) requests for additional credit. In the event of a court ordered arbitration, the party requesting arbitration shall be responsible for timely filing the demand for arbitration and paying the appropriate filing fee within 30 days of the abatement order or the time specified by the court. Failure to timely file the demand for arbitration as ordered by the court will result in that party’s right to demand arbitration being automatically terminated.

(b) Governing Rules. Any arbitration proceeding will (i) proceed in a location in New York 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 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

{Z0022852/25 }    27

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 without limitation those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section.

(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 New York or a neutral retired judge of the state or federal judiciary of New York, 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 New York 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 New York Civil Practice Law and Rules 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 without limitation 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.

(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.

{Z0022852/25 }    28

(g) Payment Of Arbitration Costs And Fees. The arbitrator shall award all costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding.

(h) 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.

(i) 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.
