WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent are party to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of August 9, 2012 (as amended and in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement, the “Credit Agreement”), providing, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, for extensions of credit to be made by the Lenders to the Borrower.

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Lenders have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Definitions; Section References. Except as otherwise defined in this Agreement, terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as defined therein.

2. Amendments to Credit Agreement. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

(a) Subsection 7.5(iv) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete therefrom the amount “Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000)” and insert therefore the amount “Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000)”.

3. Conditions of Effectiveness. The effectiveness of this Agreement is subject to the condition precedent that the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this Agreement, duly executed by each Credit Party and the Requisite Lenders.

4. Representations and Warranties of the Credit Parties. Each Credit Party hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof as follows:

(a) This Agreement and the Credit Agreement as amended hereby constitute the legally valid and binding obligations of such Credit Party, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with their respective terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.

(b) Both before and after giving effect to this Agreement, no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.


(c) Both before and after giving effect to this Agreement, the representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and in the other Loan Documents are true, correct and complete in all material respects (or, if such representation or warranty is qualified by “material” or “Material Adverse Effect”, in all respects) on and as of the date hereof to the same extent as though made on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties were true, correct and complete in all material respects (or, if such representation or warranty is qualified by “material” or “Material Adverse Effect”, in all respects) on and as of such earlier date (or previously waived in accordance with the Credit Agreement).

5. Ratification and Reaffirmation. Each Credit Party hereby (i) ratifies and reaffirms all of its payment and performance obligations, contingent or otherwise, and each grant of security interests and liens in favor of Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party, as the case may be, under each Loan Document, (ii) agrees and acknowledges that the Liens in favor of Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties under each Loan Document constitute valid, binding, enforceable and perfected first priority liens and security interests (subject only to Permitted Liens) securing the Obligations and are not subject to avoidance, disallowance or subordination pursuant to any applicable law, (iii) agrees and acknowledges the Obligations constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of such Credit Party and that (x) no offsets, defenses or counterclaims to the Obligations or any other causes of action with respect to the Obligations or the Loan Documents exist and (y) no portion of the Obligations is subject to avoidance, disallowance, reduction or subordination pursuant to any applicable law, (iv) agrees that such ratification and reaffirmation is not a condition to the continued effectiveness of the Loan Documents, and (v) agrees that neither such ratification and reaffirmation, nor Administrative Agent’s nor any Lender’s solicitation of such ratification and reaffirmation, constitutes a course of dealing giving rise to any obligation or condition requiring a similar or any other ratification or reaffirmation from each party to the Credit Agreement with respect to any subsequent modifications, consent or waiver with respect to the Credit Agreement or other Loan Documents. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that any of the Loan Documents to which it is a party or otherwise bound shall continue in full force and effect and that all of its obligations thereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be impaired or limited by the execution or effectiveness of this Agreement.

(b) Except as specifically amended above, the Credit Agreement and all other documents, instruments and agreements executed and/or delivered in connection therewith shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.

7. Costs and Expenses of the Administrative Agent.
