WHEREAS, Trade Bank and Borrower have agreed to certain changes in the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement and have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement to reflect said changes.

NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree that the Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows:

“I. CREDIT FACILITIES

1.1 The Facilities. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Trade Bank will make available to Borrowers each of those credit facilities (“Facilities”) for which a Facility Supplement (“Supplement”) is attached as Exhibit B hereto. Additional terms for each individual Facility (and each subfacility thereof (“Subfacility”)) are set forth in the Supplement for that Facility.

Collateral and credit support required for each Facility are set forth in Exhibit C hereto. Definitions for those capitalized terms not otherwise defined are contained in Article 8 below.

1.2 Credit Extension Limit. The aggregate outstanding amount of all Credit Extensions may at no time exceed the lesser of (a) Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) or (b) the Borrowing Base in effect from time to time (“Overall Credit Limit”). The aggregate outstanding amount of all Credit Extensions outstanding at any time under any Facility may not exceed that amount specified as the “Credit Limit” in the Supplement for that Facility,

and the aggregate outstanding amount of all Credit Extensions outstanding at any time under each Subfacility (or any subcategory thereof) may not exceed that amount specified as the “Credit Sublimit” in the Supplement for the relevant Facility. An amount equal to 100% of each unfunded Credit Extension shall be used in calculating the outstanding amount of Credit Extensions under this Agreement.

1.4 Repayment; Interest and Fees. Each funded Credit Extension shall be repaid by Borrowers, and, shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at those per annum rates and such interest shall be paid, at the times specified in the applicable Supplement, Note or Facility Document. With respect to each Facility, Borrowers agree to pay to Trade Bank the fees specified in the related Supplement as well as those fees specified in the relevant Facility Document(s). lnterest and fees will be calculated on the basis of a 365 day year, actual days elapsed. Any overdue payments of principal (and interest to the extent permitted by law) shall bear interest at a per annum floating rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 5.00%.”

Borrower shall pay to Trade Bank a non-refundable commitment fee for the Term Commitment Credit Facility equal to $6,250.00, which fee shall be due and payable upon execution of this Amendment.

Except as specifically provided herein, all terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement remain in full force and effect, without waiver or modification. All terms defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the same meaning when used in this Amendment. This Amendment and the Credit Agreement shall be read together, as one document.

Borrower hereby remakes all representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and reaffirms all covenants set forth therein. Borrower further certifies that as of the date of this Amendment there exists no Event of Default as defined in the Credit Agreement, nor any condition, act or event which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute any such Event of Default.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to be executed as of the day and year first written above.
