Borrower and Bank are parties to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of July 18, 2007 (as amended from time to time, including, without limitation, by that certain First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of November 3, 2008, and that certain Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of July 20, 2009, collectively with any related document, the “Agreement”). All indebtedness owing by Borrower to Bank shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Indebtedness.” The parties desire to amend the Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Amendment.

AGREEMENT

 

I.

Incorporation by Reference. The Recitals and the documents referred to therein are incorporated herein by this reference. Except as otherwise noted, the terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement.

 

II.

Amendment to the Agreement. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent as set forth in Article IV hereof, the Agreement is hereby amended as set forth below.

 

  A.

The following defined term in Exhibit A to the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“Letter of Credit Sublimit” means a sublimit for Letters of Credit under the Revolving Line not to exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000).

 

III.

Legal Effect.

 

  A.

The Agreement is hereby amended wherever necessary to reflect the changes described above. Borrower agrees that it has no defenses against the obligations to pay any amounts under the Indebtedness.

 

  B.

Borrower understands and agrees that in modifying the existing Indebtedness, Bank is relying upon Borrower’s representations, warranties, and agreements, as set forth in the Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Amendment, the terms of the Agreement and the other Loan Documents remain unchanged, and in full force and effect. Bank’s agreement to modifications to the existing Indebtedness pursuant to this Amendment in no way shall obligate Bank to make any future modifications to the Indebtedness. Nothing in this Amendment shall constitute a satisfaction of the Indebtedness. It is the intention of Bank and Borrower to retain as liable parties, all makers and endorsers of the Agreement and the other Loan Documents, unless the party is expressly released by Bank in writing. No maker, endorser, or guarantor will be released by virtue of this Amendment. The terms of this paragraph apply not only to this Amendment, but also to all subsequent loan modification requests.
