(a)   Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Lender shall continue the Existing Advances and make Advances to Borrower under the Revolving Facility from time to time during the Term, provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the aggregate amount of all Advances at any one time outstanding under the Revolving Facility shall not exceed either of (a) the Facility Cap, or (b) the Availability. The Revolving Facility is a revolving credit facility, which may be drawn, repaid and redrawn, from time to time as permitted under this Agreement. Any determination as to whether there is Availability for Advances shall be made by Lender in its sole discretion and, absent demonstrable error, is final and binding upon Borrower. Unless otherwise permitted by Lender, each Advance shall be in an amount of at least $1,000. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Borrower may request Advances under the Revolving Facility up to and including the value, in U.S. Dollars, of the sum of (i) Eighty-Five percent (85%) of the Borrowing Base for Eligible Billed Receivables, (ii) Sixty percent (60%) of the Borrowing Base for Eligible Unbilled Receivables, and (iii) as determined by Lender in its sole discretion following the completion of the Inventory Field Examination, either (a) Fifty percent (50%) of the Borrowing Base for Eligible Finished Goods Inventory valued at the lower of cost basis or market value or (b) Eighty-Five percent (85%) of the Borrowing Base for Eligible Inventory valued at orderly liquidation value, minus, if applicable, amounts adjusted or reserved pursuant to this Agreement (such calculated amount being referred to herein as the “Availability”); provided, however, that at no time shall more than Four Hundred Thousand and 00/100 ($400,000.00) of the Availability be comprised of Eligible Inventory. Advances under the Revolving Facility automatically shall be made for the payment of interest on the Notes and other Obligations on the date when due to the extent available and as provided for herein. Notwithstanding any provision of this subsection (a) to the contrary, Borrower shall not be permitted to include Eligible Inventory in the Availability unless and until Lender has completed and reviewed an independent appraisal and field examination of Borrower’s Inventory at the expense of Borrower and the results of which are satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion (the “Inventory Field Examination”).
(b)    Section 2.3 of the Agreement, entitled “Interest” is hereby amended and restated as follows:
2.3   Interest
Interest on outstanding Advances under the Revolving Note shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar month at an annual rate of Prime Rate plus 2.50%, provided, however, that, notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document, for the purpose of calculating interest hereunder, the Prime Rate shall be not less than 4.0%, in each case calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and for the actual number of calendar days elapsed in each interest calculation period.

(c)    Section 2.4 of the Agreement, entitled “Revolving Facility Disbursements; Requirement to Deliver Borrowing Certificate” is hereby amended and restated as follows:
2.4   Revolving Facility Disbursements; Requirement to Deliver Borrowing Certificate
So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower may give Lender irrevocable written notice requesting an Advance under the Revolving Facility by delivering to Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Standard Time) at least one but not more than four Business Days before the proposed borrowing date of such requested Advance (the “Borrowing Date"), a completed Borrowing Certificate and relevant supporting documentation satisfactory to Lender, which shall (i) specify the proposed Borrowing Date of such Advance which shall be a Business Day, (ii) specify the principal amount of such requested Advance, (iii) certify the matters contained in Section 4.2, and (iv) specify the amount of any Medicare or Medicaid recoupments and/or recoupments of any third-party payor being sought, requested or claimed, or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against Borrower or Borrower’s Affiliates. Each time a request for an Advance is made, and, in any event and regardless of whether an Advance is being requested, on Tuesday of each week during the Term (and so long as a Default or Event of Default exists, more frequently if Lender shall so request) until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in cash in full and this Agreement is terminated, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a Borrowing Certificate accompanied by a separate detailed aging and categorizing of Borrower’s accounts receivable and accounts payable and such other supporting documentation with respect to the figures and information in the Borrowing Certificate as Lender shall reasonably request from a credit or security perspective or otherwise. On each Borrowing Date, Borrower irrevocably authorizes Lender to disburse the proceeds of the requested Advance to the appropriate Borrower’s account(s) as set forth on Schedule 2.4, in all cases for credit to the appropriate Borrower (or to such other account as to which the appropriate Borrower shall instruct Lender) via Federal funds wire transfer no later than 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time). Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the average outstanding balance under the Revolving Facility during any calendar month is less than $2,500,000 Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall be entitled to calculate interest and fees hereunder, including without limitation, the calculations set forth in Sections 2.3, 2.5 and 3.3, as if the average outstanding balance for such calendar month was $2,500,000.
(d)    Section 2.5 of the Agreement, entitled “Revolving Facility Collections; Repayment; Borrowing Availability and Lockbox” is hereby amended and restated as follows:
2.5   Revolving Facility Collections; Repayment; Borrowing Availability and Lockbox
Each Borrower shall maintain one or more lockbox accounts (individually and collectively, the “Lockbox Account") with one or more banks acceptable to Lender (each, a “Lockbox Bank"), and shall execute with each Lockbox Bank one or more agreements acceptable to Lender (individually and collectively, the “Lockbox Agreement"), and such other agreements related thereto as Lender may require. Each Borrower shall ensure that all collections of their respective Accounts and all other cash payments received by any Borrower, including CIGNA Receipts, are paid and delivered directly from Account Debtors and other Persons into the appropriate Lockbox Account. The Lockbox Agreements shall provide that the Lockbox Banks will transfer on the same Business Day all funds paid into the Lockbox Accounts into a depository account or accounts maintained by Lender or an Affiliate of Lender at such bank as Lender may

communicate to Borrower and the applicable Lockbox Bank from time to time in accordance with the Lockbox Agreement (the “Concentration Account"), except, with respect only to Accounts payable by Medicaid/Medicare Account Debtors, as instructed by the applicable Borrower to whom such Accounts are payable as permitted pursuant to the applicable Lockbox Agreement. Notwithstanding and without limiting any other provision of any Loan Document, Lender shall apply, on a daily basis, all funds transferred into the Concentration Account pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement and this Section 2.5 in such order and manner as determined by Lender. To the extent that any Accounts are collected by any Borrower or any other cash payments received by any Borrower are not sent directly to the appropriate Lockbox Account but are received by any Borrower or any of their Affiliates, such collections and proceeds shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender and immediately remitted (and in any event within two (2) Business Days), in the form received, to the appropriate Lockbox Account for immediate transfer to the Concentration Account. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that compliance with the terms of this Section 2.5 is an essential term of this Agreement, and that, in addition to and notwithstanding any other rights Lender may have hereunder, under any other Loan Document, under applicable law or at equity, upon each and every failure by any Borrower or any of their Affiliates to comply with any such terms Lender shall be entitled to assess a non-compliance fee which shall operate to increase the Applicable Rate by two percent (2.0%) per annum during any period of non-compliance, whether or not a Default or an Event of Default occurs or is declared, provided that nothing shall prevent Lender from considering any failure to comply with the terms of this Section 2.5 to be a Default or an Event of Default. All funds transferred to the Concentration Account for application to the Obligations under the Revolving Facility shall be applied to reduce the Obligations under the Revolving Facility, but, for purposes of calculating interest hereunder shall be subject to a five (5) Business Day clearance period. If as the result of collections of Accounts and/or any other cash payments received by any Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.5 a credit balance exists with respect to the Concentration Account, such credit balance shall not accrue interest in favor of a Borrower, but shall be available to Borrower upon Borrower’s written request. If applicable, at any time prior to the execution of all or any of the Lockbox Agreements and operation of all or any of the Lockbox Accounts, each Borrower and their Affiliates shall direct all collections or proceeds it receives on Accounts or from other Collateral to the accounts(s) and in the manner specified by Lender in its sole discretion.
