     (b) Term Loans. Prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date, each Bank made a term loan to the Borrowers, jointly and severally, in the amount of its Term Loan Commitment (as it existed prior to the date of this Agreement), which term loans were in the original aggregate principal balance of $85,000,000 and which term loans had an outstanding principal balance of $79,750,000 immediately prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date, which term loans shall be continued as a portion of the Term Loan outstanding immediately after the Second Amendment Effective Date (each, an “Existing Term Loan” and collectively, the “Existing Term Loans”). Upon the Second Amendment Effective Date, each Bank will make an additional term loan to the Borrowers, jointly and severally, in the amount of such Bank’s Term Loan Percentage of $10,000,000 (each being an “Increased Term Loan” and collectively, the “Increased Term Loans” and collectively with the Existing Term Loan and any Incremental Term Loan, each being a “Term Loan” and collectively the “Term Loans”). After giving effect to the Increased Terms Loans, the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans on the Second Amendment Effective Date will be $89,750,000. Further, on any Increase Effective Date, each Bank and each New Bank may, upon the terms and conditions of Section 2.13 hereof, make an Incremental Term Loan in the amount of its Incremental Term Loan Commitment. The Term Loans and any portion of the balance thereof (in minimum amounts of $500,000) may be made, maintained, continued and converted to Prime Rate Advances or Eurodollar Rate Advances as the Borrowers’ Agent may elect in its notice of borrowing, continuation or conversion; provided, however, that there shall be no more than five (5) Eurodollar Rate Advances outstanding at any one time for the Term Loans.

     15(d) Term Loans. Section 2.2 of the Credit Agreement is amended by deleting subsection (b) thereof and by substituting in lieu thereof the following:

     (b) Procedure for Term Loans. Prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date, each Bank advanced its Existing Term Loan to the Borrowers and such Existing Term Loan shall be continued as a part of the Term Loan of such Bank outstanding after giving effect to its Increased Term Loan (and such Existing Term Loans shall be continued as Eurodollar Rate Advances or Prime Rate Advances, as applicable). Further, not later than 11:00 A.M. (Minneapolis time) two Eurodollar Business Days prior to the

requested Second Amendment Effective Date if the Increased Term Loans are requested as Eurodollar Rate Advances and not later than 11:00 A.M. (Minneapolis time) one Business Day prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date if the Increased Term Loans are requested as Prime Rate Advances, the Borrowers’ Agent shall deliver to the Agent a written notice of borrowing. Such notice of borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed a representation by the Borrowers that on the Second Amendment Effective Date and after giving effect to the Increased Term Loans, the applicable conditions specified in Article III have been and will be satisfied. Such notice of borrowing shall specify (i) the requested Second Amendment Effective Date, (ii) whether such Increased Term Loans are to be funded as Eurodollar Rate Advances or Prime Rate Advances (and if such Increased Term Loans are to be made with more than one applicable interest rate choice, specifying the amount to which each interest rate choice is applicable), and (iii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto. The Agent shall promptly, on the date such request is received, notify each Bank of the receipt of such notice and the matters specified therein. On the requested Second Amendment Effective Date, each Bank shall provide to the Agent the amount of such Bank’s Increased Term Loan in Immediately Available Funds not later than 11:00 A.M., Minneapolis time. Unless the Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in Article III has not been satisfied, the Agent will make the proceeds of the Increased Term Loans available to the Borrowers at the Agent’s main office on the requested date. The foregoing shall not apply to the funding of any Incremental Term Loans, the funding of which shall be governed by Section 2.13(b).

     15(e) Proceeds of Equity. Section 2.6(c) of the Credit Agreement is deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted in lieu thereof:

     (c) Proceeds of Equity. Within one Business Day following the receipt thereof, the Borrowers shall prepay to the Agent for the benefit of the Banks an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the sum of all cash proceeds of any issuance of equity securities (except equity securities issued to fund a Permitted Acquisition and equity securities issued in the Permitted IPO) net of the actual cash expenses paid by any Borrower in connection with such issuance. All prepayments under this Section 2.6(c) shall be applied pro rata based on the unpaid principal balance of the Term Loans to the principal balance of the Term Loans in inverse chronological order of the maturities of the Quarterly Principal Payments; provided, however, that (i) in the event a Prime Rate Advance and a Eurodollar Rate Advance have the same maturity, the Agent, to the extent practical in the Agent’s determination, shall make such application first to such Prime Rate Advance before application to such Eurodollar Rate Advance, and (ii) to the extent any portion of such prepayment would be applied to outstanding Eurodollar Rate Advances and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such portion shall be deposited in the Holding Account and withdrawn for application to such Eurodollar Rate Advances at the end of the then-current Interest Periods applicable thereto (or earlier, upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default).

     15(f) Incremental Term Loan Commitment. Section 2.13(b)(i) of the Credit Agreement is deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted in lieu thereof:

     (i) The Borrowers may by written notice from the Borrowers’ Agent to the Agent (who shall promptly notify each of the Banks) elect to request the establishment of one new Term Loan Commitment (the “Incremental Term Loan Commitment”) by an amount not in excess of $15,000,000 for the purposes of financing any Permitted

Acquisition. The new Term Loan Commitment may be of an existing or a new class of Term Loans. Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, an “Increase Effective Date”) on which the Borrowers’ Agent proposes that the increased or new Term Loan Commitment shall be effective, which shall be a date not fewer than 10 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Agent and (ii) the identity of each Bank and each New Bank (which New Bank shall be reasonably acceptable to the Agent) to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such increased or new Term Loan Commitment be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that any existing Bank approached to provide all or a portion of the increased or new Term Loan Commitment may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such increased or new Term Loan Commitment.

     15(g) Use of Proceeds. Section 2.21 of the Credit Agreement is deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted in lieu thereof:

     Section 2.21. Use of Loan Proceeds. The Existing Term Loans shall be continued as a portion of the Term Loans in existence after giving effect to the Second Amendment. The proceeds of the Increased Term Loans shall be used to (a) fund Permitted Acquisitions after the Second Amendment Effective Date, (b) fund prepayments upon the Revolving Loans, (c) fund transaction costs in connection with Permitted Acquisitions and this Agreement and (d) fund working capital of the Borrowers. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans shall be used for general corporate purposes of the Borrowers (including Permitted Acquisitions and transaction costs in respect thereof) in a manner not in conflict with any of the Borrowers’ covenants in this Agreement.

     15(h) Financial Statements and Reports. Section 5.1(a) and (b) of the Credit Agreement are deleted in their respective entireties and the balance is submitted in lieu thereof:

     15(j) Events of Default. Section 7.1(o) of the Credit Agreement is deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted in lieu thereof:

     (o) At any time prior to the Permitted IPO and the redemption of Dolan Media’s Preferred Stock as described in clause (e) of Section 6.7, a Triggering Event described in Section 7A(i) and (ii) of the Series B&C Certificate has occurred and has not been cured (or waived in writing in accordance with the terms of the Series B&C Certificate) within 365 days.
