RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, Borrower is currently indebted to Bank pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank dated as of April 14, 2010 as amended from time to time (“Credit Agreement”).

 

WHEREAS, 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:

 

1.           Section 1.1 (a) is hereby amended by deleting “June 30, 2011” as the last day on which Bank will make advances under the Line of Credit, and by substituting for said date “June 30, 2012,” with such change to be effective upon the execution and delivery to Bank of a promissory note dated as of June 7, 2011 (which promissory note shall replace and be deemed the Line of Credit Note defined in and made pursuant to the Credit Agreement) and all other contracts, instruments and documents required by Bank to evidence such change.

 

2.           Section 1.1 (b) is hereby deleted in its entirety, and the following substituted therefor:

 

                “(b)         Letter of Credit Subfeature.  As a subfeature under the Line of Credit, Bank agrees from time to time during the term thereof to issue or cause an affiliate to issue standby letters of credit for the account of Borrower (each, a “Letter of Credit” and collectively, “Letters of Credit”); provided however, that the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall not at any time exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00).  The form and substance of each Letter of Credit shall be subject to approval by Bank, in its sole discretion.  No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date more than 365 days beyond the maturity date of the Line of Credit.  The undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit shall be reserved under the Line of Credit and shall not be available for borrowings thereunder.  Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the additional terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit agreements, applications and any related documents required by Bank in connection with the issuance thereof.  Each drawing paid under a Letter of Credit shall be deemed an advance under the Line of Credit and shall be repaid by Borrower in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable to such advances; provided however, that if advances under the Line of Credit are not available, for any reason, at the time any drawing is paid, then Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank the full amount drawn, together with interest thereon from the date such drawing is paid to the date such amount is fully repaid by Borrower, at the rate of interest applicable to advances under the Line of Credit.  In such event Borrower agrees that Bank, in its sole discretion, may debit any account maintained by Borrower with Bank for the amount of any such drawing.”

3.           Section 1.3 is hereby deleted in its entirety, and the following substituted therefor:

 

                “ SECTION 1.3.   COLLECTION OF PAYMENTS.  Borrower authorizes Bank to collect all principal, interest and fees due under each credit subject hereto by charging Borrower’s deposit account number ______________ with Bank, or any other deposit account maintained by Borrower with Bank, for the full amount thereof.  Should there be insufficient funds in any such deposit account to pay all such sums when due, the full amount of such deficiency shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower.”

 

4.           Section 5.2 is hereby deleted in its entirety, and the following substituted therefor:

 

                “ SECTION 5.2.   CAPITAL EXPENDITURES.  Make any additional investment in fixed assets in the fiscal year 2012, ending June 30, 2012, in excess of an aggregate of $20,000,000.00, and in the any fiscal year thereafter, in excess of an aggregate of $10,000,000.00.”

 

5.           Section 5.3 is hereby deleted in its entirety, and the following substituted therefor:

6.           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.

 

7.           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.
