1. DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS AND OBLIGATIONS. Among other indebtedness and obligations which may be owing by Borrower to Bank, Borrower is indebted to Bank pursuant to a loan arrangement dated as of March 14, 2008, evidenced by, among other documents, a certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of March 14, 2008, among Borrower and Bank, as affected by a certain Joinder Agreement dated as of October 30, 2008, as amended by a certain First Loan Modification Agreement dated as of October 30, 2008, as further amended by a certain Second Loan Modification Agreement dated as of February 6, 2009, and as further amended by a certain Third Loan Modification Agreement dated as of June 10, 2009 (as amended and affected, the “Loan Agreement”).

3. DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE IN TERMS.
  A.   Modifications to Loan Agreement.
  1   The effectiveness of this Loan Modification Agreement is expressly conditioned upon Borrower’s receipt of net cash proceeds of at least Forty Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($40,250,000.00) in connection with the sale of Borrower’s “Network Tools” division.
 
  2   The Loan Agreement shall be amended by deleting the following, appearing as Section 2.2 thereof:
      2.2 Overadvances; Further Limitation.
     (a) If, at any time, the sum of (i) the outstanding principal amount of any Advances (including any amounts used for Cash Management Services), plus (ii) the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve), plus (iii) the FX Reserve, exceeds the lesser of either the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank in cash such excess.
     (b) In order to have Credit Extensions made pursuant to Sections 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 outstanding that exceed Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000.00) in the aggregate, Borrower shall provide evidence to Bank, upon Bank’s request, that it has unrestricted cash (as set forth on its most recent

 


 

balance sheet delivered pursuant to Section 6.2) in an amount equal to at least the sum of (i) Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000.00) plus (ii) the aggregate amount of Credit Extensions made pursuant to Sections 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 outstanding at such time. Borrower shall be required to comply with this provision at all times that the aggregate amount of Credit Extensions outstanding exceeds Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000.00). With respect to each request of a Credit Extension that, when made, would result in the aggregate principal amount of Credit Extensions made pursuant to Sections 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 outstanding exceeding Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000.00), Borrower shall deliver to Bank evidence of Borrower’s compliance with this provision (after giving effect to such Credit Extension) as a condition precedent to such Credit Extension. If at any time the aggregate amount of Credit Extensions outstanding exceeds the amount permitted by this Section 2.2(b), then Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank in cash such excess.”
      and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
2.2 Overadvances. If, at any time, the sum of (i) the outstanding principal amount of any Advances (including any amounts used for Cash Management Services), plus (ii) the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve), plus (iii) the FX Reserve, exceeds the lesser of either the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank in cash such excess.”
