R E C I T A L S:

Debtor and Lender have entered into a Loan and Security Agreement dated as of March 20, 2015 (the “Loan Agreement”).

Debtor has requested that Lender amend certain provisions of the Loan Agreement and waive certain defaults under the Loan Agreement, all of which Lender is willing to do pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, it is agreed as follows:

1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment which are defined in the Loan Agreement shall have the same meanings as defined therein, unless otherwise defined herein. In addition, the following definitions shall be added to read as follows:

“Initial Advance Date” shall mean the first day on which Debtor intends to commence requesting advances under Credit Facility A.

2. Amendment of Section 2.3.3. Section 2.3.3 of the Loan Agreement shall be amended in its entirety effective November 1, 2015 to read as follows:

2.3.3. Facility Fees – Reimbursement of Expenses. In addition to all other amounts to be paid by Debtor hereunder, Debtor shall pay Lender the following fully earned non-refundable fees: (i) annual facility fees of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) each, payable on each anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) an unused line fee payable in arrears at the rate of one quarter percent (.25%) per annum on the average daily Unused Amount during the prior calendar month, payable on the first day of each month and on the date of termination of this Agreement (for the partial month then ended), (iii) monthly bank assessment fees equal to thirty five one hundredths percent (.35%) per annum of the Maximum Loan Amount each, payable in arrears on the first day of each month and on the date of termination of this Agreement, (iv) at any time outstanding Obligations and Letter of Credit Liabilities under Credit Facility A (as evidenced by Debtor’s loan account ledger for Credit Facility A) exceeds the amount

permitted in accordance with Section 4.1 (herein, an “overadvance”), in Lender’s sole discretion and without waiving any of its other rights or remedies, daily overadvance fees at Lender’s then applicable rate, which are currently One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) per day, payable on the dates each such overadvance occurs, and (v) monthly letter of credit fees payable in arrears at the rate of one quarter percent (.25%) on the outstanding amount of letters of credit issued at the request of Debtor by Lender or by a Bank Affiliate or other bank and outstanding during the prior month, payable on the first day of each month after the issuance of each such letter of credit, plus all applicable issuance fees, draw fees, amendment fees and other related fees. Amounts to be reimbursed by Debtor include all of Lender’s legal fees incurred in negotiating and preparing the documentation for this extension of credit, along with all other normal and customary out of pocket fees relating to and expenses associated with preparation for closing and the actual closing of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, travel and travel related expenses of Lender’s personnel incurred in connection with due diligence and closing activities related to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (whether or not the transaction closes or funds are advanced), all of which amounts shall be payable upon demand. Debtor shall also pay Lender, upon demand, for all field examinations of Debtor and its assets performed by Lender (at Lender’s standard fee plus out of pocket expenses) or on behalf of Lender (by reimbursing Lender’s actual expense), whether conducted in conjunction with Lender’s pre-closing due diligence or during the term of this Agreement. Lender agrees that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender will not conduct field examinations during the term of the Agreement until Debtor has provided notice of the Initial Advance Date. To the extent the Obligations are being prepaid in full prior to the Termination Date, any fees or other amounts otherwise payable under this Section 2.3.3 after such prepayment date but on or prior to the Termination Date shall be due and payable with the final payment of the Obligations. All amounts owing under this Section 2.3.3 may be debited to Debtor’s loan account ledger for Credit Facility A.

3. Amendment of Section 2.4. Section 2.4 of the Loan Agreement shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows:

2.4. Requests for Advances. Each Consolidated Subsidiary hereby irrevocably designates Parent to act on its behalf to request advances hereunder and hereby authorizes Lender to pay over and credit all loan proceeds hereunder in accordance with the requests of Parent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Parent shall provide Lender with not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of the Initial Advance Date and shall cooperate with Lender to complete an updated field examination prior to such initial advance. Requests for advances hereunder received prior to 1:00 p.m. Central Time on a Business Day will be processed on the same Business Day and, subject to availability terms and absence of default hereunder will be honored the same Business Day. Requests for advance received after 1:00 p.m. Central Time on any Business Day or on any other day will be processed on the next Business Day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until such time as Parent has requested the initial advance pursuant to the foregoing sentence, Debtor has requested, and Lender hereby agrees, that on each Business Day on which the cash receipts posted to Debtor’s loan account ledger in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.2 exceed the amount of outstanding loans to Debtor, if any (such excess receipts being the “Excess Amount”), without further request

 

2


by Debtor, Lender shall make an advance of funds in the amount equal to the Excess Amount for credit to the Operating Account. The foregoing constitutes a continuing request for such advances and shall remain in effect so long as Parent has not made a request for an advance in accordance with the second sentence hereof, or until otherwise cancelled by either Debtor, upon two (2) Business Days prior notice to Lender or Lender, upon notice to Debtor.

4. Amendment of Section 7.25. Section 7.25 of the Loan Agreement shall be amended by amending the monthly stop loss provisions to read as follows:

7. No Other Changes. Except as explicitly amended by this Amendment, all of the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
