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.

Borrower’s obligation to repay advances under the Line of Credit shall be evidenced by a promissory note dated as of March 31, 2013 (“Line of Credit Note”), all terms of which are incorporated herein by this reference.

(b) Borrowing and Repayment. Borrower may from time to time during the term of the Line of Credit borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings, and reborrow, subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions contained herein or in the Line of Credit Note; provided however, that the total outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit shall not at any time exceed the maximum principal amount available thereunder, as set forth above and as reduced from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Line of Credit Note”.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank hereby confirms that the Term Loan remains in full force and effect.

(b) Replacement Note; Repayment. The Term Loan shall be repaid in accordance with the provisions of a promissory note dated as of March 31, 2013 (“Term Note”), the terms of which shall be incorporated herein by reference, and which shall be given as a replacement for, and not in satisfaction of, the Prior Term Note.”

3. Except as specifically provided herein, all terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement remain in full force and effect, without waiver or modification.

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