The above-described security documents, together with all other documents securing repayment of the Obligations, shall be referred to herein as the "Security Documents". Hereinafter, the Security Documents, together with all other documents evidencing or securing the Obligations are referred to as the "Existing Loan Documents".

3.    MODIFICATIONS TO LOAN AGREEMENT. The Schedule is hereby amended as follows:

3.1     Financial Covenants. Section 5 of the Schedule to the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

(Section 4.1):    

For purposes of the foregoing Financial Covenant, “Liquidity Ratio” is the ratio of (a) Borrower’s unrestricted Cash and Cash Equivalents held with the Senior Lender (and its affiliates) plus Borrower’s Net Accounts Receivable, divided by (b) the sum of outstanding Credit Extensions under the Senior Loan Documents, plus all sums owed by Borrower in connection with Bank Services. Capitalized terms used in the foregoing definition of Liquidity Ratio and not defined in this Agreement have their meanings as set forth in the Senior Loan Documents as in effect on the Modification No. 4 Effective Date, without regard to waiver of any provision thereof by the Senior Lender.

For purposes of the foregoing definition of Liquidity Ratio, the term “Net Accounts Receivable” means the accounts receivable of Borrower recorded in accordance with GAAP on the balance sheet of Borrower as of the end of the most recent monthly reporting period, net of any reserves for doubtful accounts, as reported to the Senior Lender.

Springing Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio:

From and after the date Borrower has maintained a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio in excess of 1.50 to 1.00 for two consecutive fiscal quarters, Borrower must maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio in excess of 1.25 to 1.00 at all times. The Fixed charge Coverage Ratio shall have the meaning set forth in the Senior Loan Documents as in effect on the Modification No. 4 Effective Date, without regard to waiver of any provision thereof by the Senior Lender or the effectiveness of the Senior Loan Documents at any time.

4.    CONSISTENT CHANGES. The Existing Loan Documents are hereby amended wherever necessary to reflect the changes described above.

5.    PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. Borrower shall pay to PFG all of PFG’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with this Modification.

6.    BORROWERS’ REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Borrower represents and warrants that:

(a)    immediately upon giving effect to this Modification (i) except for the matters set forth in Exhibit A and in the capitalization table appended hereto as Exhibit B, the representations and warranties contained in the Loan Agreement are true, accurate and complete in all material respects as of the date hereof (except to the extent such representations and warranties relate to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such date), and (ii) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

Borrower understands and acknowledges that PFG is entering into this Modification in reliance upon, and in partial consideration for, the above representations and warranties, and agrees that such reliance is reasonable and appropriate.

7.    CONTINUING VALIDITY. Borrower understands and agrees that in modifying the existing Obligations, PFG is relying upon Borrower's representations, warranties, and agreements, as set forth in the Existing Loan Documents. Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Modification, the terms of the Existing Loan Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect. PFG's agreement to modifications to the existing Obligations in no way shall obligate PFG to make any future consents, waivers or modifications to the Obligations. Nothing in this Modification shall constitute a satisfaction of the Obligations or a waiver of any default under the Existing Loan Documents. It is the intention of PFG and Borrower to retain as liable parties all makers and endorsers of Existing Loan Documents, unless the party is expressly released by PFG in writing. Unless expressly released herein, no maker, endorser, or guarantor will be released by virtue of this Modification. The terms of this paragraph apply not only to this Modification, but also to all subsequent loan modification agreements.

(e)    SVB Subordination. If required by the Senior Lender, PFG and the Senior Lender shall have entered into an amendment to or ratification of their existing Subordination Agreement reflecting the amendment to the Senor Loan Documents.

9.    FURTHER ASSURANCES. Borrower agrees to execute such further documents and instruments and to take such further actions as PFG may request in its good faith business judgment to carry out the purposes and intent of this Modification.

10.    INTEGRATION; CONSTRUCTION. The Loan Agreement, the Prior Modifications, this Modification and any documents executed in connection therewith and herewith contain the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, offers and negotiations, oral or written, with respect thereto and no extrinsic evidence whatsoever may be introduced in any judicial or arbitration proceeding, if any, involving this Modification; provided, however, that any financing statements or other agreements or instruments filed by PFG with respect to Borrower shall remain in full force and effect. The quotation marks around modified clauses set forth herein and any differing font styles in which such clauses are presented herein are for ease of reading only and shall be ignored for purposes of construing and interpreting this Modification. This Modification is subject to the General Provisions of Section 8 of the Loan Agreement.
