B. Section A of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the reference to the original principal amount of “Six Million and 00/100 Dollars ($6,000,000.00)” and replacing it with “Eight Million and 00/100 Dollars ($8,000,000.00)”, thus reflecting the increase of the maximum principal amount available under the Loan. 

C. The following definitions are hereby added to Section 2 of the Credit Agreement:

Aggregate Face Amount:  means, at any time, the aggregate amount that may be drawn under each outstanding Letter of Credit, assuming compliance with all conditions for drawing and for the avoidance of doubt shall exclude any drawn amounts at such time, as more particularly described in this Agreement.

L/C Amount:  means, the sum of (a) the Aggregate Face Amount of any outstanding Letter of Credit, plus (b) the amount of each Obligation of Reimbursement related to such letter of credit, that either remains unreimbursed or has not been paid through an Advance, as authorized pursuant to this Agreement.

Standby Letter of Credit Agreement:  shall mean any agreement pursuant to which a Letter of Credit is issued by the Lender for the Borrower’s account.

E. The following section is hereby added to the Credit Agreement as Section 4B:

4B.LETTERS OF CREDIT

.

(a)Issuance of Letters of Credit; Amount.  On or after the date hereof and prior to the Maturity Date, the Lender may in its sole discretion, at the request of the Borrower and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, issue one or more irrevocable standby letters of credit (each, a “Letter of Credit”, and collectively, “Letters of Credit”) in up to the aggregate maximum amount of $2,000,000 for the Borrower’s account.  The Lender will not issue any Letter of Credit if the sum of the face amount of the Letters of Credit plus the outstanding and unpaid Advances under the Revolving Credit Loan or otherwise would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment.  The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Lender for any draws under a Letter of Credit shall be secured by this Agreement and guaranteed by the Guarantor.

2


 

(b)Letter of Credit Documentation.  Prior to requesting issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall first execute and deliver to the Lender a Standby Letter of Credit Agreement, an L/C Application (defined below), and any other documents that the Lender may request, which shall govern the issuance of the Letter of Credit and the Borrower‘s obligation to reimburse the Lender for any related draws under a Letter of Credit (the “Obligation of Reimbursement”).

(c)Expiration.  No Letter of Credit shall be issued that has an expiry date that is later than one (1) year from the date of issuance, or the Maturity Date in effect on the date of issuance, whichever is earlier; provided,  however, the Lender may elect to issue Letters of Credit with an expiry date later than the Maturity Date, but in such event, the Borrower shall comply with Section 4B by funding a Special Account (as defined below) upon demand by the Lender.

(d)Obligation of Reimbursement During Default Periods.  If the Borrower is unable, due to the existence of an Event of Default or for any other reason, to obtain an Advance under the Revolving Credit Loan to pay any Obligation of Reimbursement, the Borrower shall pay the Lender on demand and in immediately available funds, the amount of the Obligation of Reimbursement together with interest, accrued from the date of presentment of the underlying draft until reimbursement in full of such Obligation of Reimbursement at the then current rate of interest under the Revolving Credit Note, plus 2.0%.  The Lender is authorized, alternatively and in its sole discretion, to make an Advance under the Revolving Credit Note in an amount sufficient to discharge such Obligation of Reimbursement and pay all accrued but unpaid interest and fees with respect to the Obligation of Reimbursement.

(e)Special Account.  If the Revolving Credit Loan is terminated for any reason while a Letter of Credit is outstanding, or if after any required prepayment of the Revolving Credit Note exceeds the Revolving Credit Commitment, then the Borrower shall promptly pay the Lender in immediately available funds for deposit to an account held by the Lender (the “Special Account”), an amount equal, as the case may be, to either (a) the L/C Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit plus any anticipated fees and costs, or (b) the amount by which the amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Loan exceeds the Revolving Credit Commitment.  If the Borrower fails to pay these amounts promptly, then the Lender may in its sole discretion make an Advance under the Revolving Credit Note to pay these amounts and deposit the proceeds into the Special Account.  The Special Account shall be an interest bearing account maintained with the Lender or any other financial institution acceptable to the Lender.  The Lender may in its sole discretion apply amounts on deposit in the Special Account to the Obligations.  The Borrower may not withdraw amounts deposited to the Special Account until the Revolving Credit Loan has been terminated and all outstanding Letters of Credit have either been returned to the Lender or have expired and the Revolving Credit Loan has been fully paid.

3


 

For the purposes of this Section, “L/C Application” shall mean an application for the issuance of Standby Letters of Credit pursuant to the terms of a Standby Letter of Credit Agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Lender.

F. The following provision is hereby added to the end of Section 20 of the Credit Agreement:

In addition, the Lender may require the Borrower to pay to the Lender upon demand in immediately available funds an amount equal to the Aggregate Face Amount plus any anticipated costs and fees for deposit to a Special Account.

G. The Revolving Credit Note attached as Exhibit A to the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note attached hereto as Exhibit A.
