hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Section 2.1.5.  Interest.  Each Revolving Loan shall bear interest at a variable

(c)           The Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new Section
2.4B., entitled “Third Term Loan”, as follows:

Section 2.4B.  Third Term Loan.

Section 2.4B.1.  Amount of Third Term Loan.  Upon the execution of the Third
Amendment, Borrower agrees to borrow from Bank, and Bank agrees to lend to
Borrower, the principal amount of FIVE MILLION ONE HUNDRED THIRTY ONE THOUSAND

prepaid in whole or in part upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Bank
and subject to premium as set forth in this Section 2.4B.5.  Upon any such

current cost of funds, specifically the bond equivalent yield for United States
Treasury securities (bills on a discounted basis shall be converted to a bond

prepayment charge" due to Lender upon prepayment of the principal of the Third
Term Loan plus any accrued interest due as of the prepayment date.

Section 2.4B.6.  Maturity.  Except where this Agreement or any instrument

Section 2.4B.7.  Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the Third Term Loan shall be
used to refinance existing indebtedness of Borrower to Bank.

Third Amendment, and continuing until the Fixed Asset Termination Date, Bank
agrees to extend to Borrower a non-revolving fixed asset line of credit, so that
as long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Borrower may borrow, on a non-revolving basis in one (1) or more fixed asset
line of credit loans (each a “Fixed Asset Loan”) from time to time prior to the
close of business on the Fixed Asset Termination Date, amounts which do not
exceed (a) for each Fixed Asset Loan, one hundred percent (100%) of the purchase
price of the equipment to be purchased with the requested Fixed Asset Loan, as
determined by Bank in its sole discretion, and (b) in the aggregate at any one
time outstanding the Fixed Asset Commitment Amount in effect from time to time
(the “Fixed Asset Line of Credit”).  Bank may, in its reasonable credit
judgment, fund such reserves and/or charge the same to the Loan Account at such
time as it deems appropriate.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement
to the contrary, all Fixed Asset Loans shall constitute one obligation of
Borrower to Bank, secured by Bank’s security interest in the Collateral.

Asset Loan, and shall include an invoice reflecting the amount of the equipment
to be purchased with the Fixed Asset Loan.  Each such notification shall be
immediately followed by a written confirmation thereof by Borrower in
substantially the form approved by Bank; provided, however, that if such written
confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by Bank, the
records of Bank shall control absent manifest error or adequate proof to the
contrary.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank shall
make each Fixed Asset Loan on the effective date specified therefor by crediting
the amount of such Fixed Asset Loan to the Loan Account.

Section 2.4C.3.  Fixed Asset Note.  Fixed Asset Loans shall be evidenced by a
promissory note executed by Borrower in substantially the form attached hereto
as Exhibit I (the “Fixed Asset Note”), with all blanks therein appropriately
completed, payable to the order of Bank, which Fixed Asset Note is hereby
incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

Section 2.4C.4.  Payment of Principal.

(a)  Conversion.  Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, at any time while any Fixed Asset Loans are outstanding, and prior
to the Fixed Asset Termination Date, the Borrower may elect to convert the
outstanding principal balance of such Fixed Asset Loan(s) to a term loan
repayable as set forth in Section 2.4C.4.(b) hereof.  The Borrower shall provide
written notice to the Bank of such election at least three (3)  Business Days
prior to the intended Fixed Asset Conversion Date thereof.  Such notice shall be
irrevocable and shall be in the form approved by Bank (the “Notice of Conversion
of Fixed Asset Loan”).  Regardless of whether the Borrower provides any such
Notice to the Bank, and unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the outstanding principal amount of all Fixed Asset Loans not
previously converted pursuant to this Section shall be converted as of the Fixed
Asset Termination Date and be repayable as set forth in Section 2.4C.4.(b)
hereof.

Fixed Asset Conversion Date, and continuing on the first day of each succeeding
month thereafter.  If not sooner paid, a final installment in the then unpaid
principal amount of all Fixed Asset Loans, together with all other amounts due
and owing under the Fixed Asset Note, shall be due and payable on the Fixed
Asset Maturity Date.

Section 2.4C.5.  Interest.

(a)  Commencing on the date of the making of any Fixed Asset Loan and continuing
until the Fixed Asset Conversion Date thereof, each such Fixed Asset Loan shall
bear interest at a variable annual rate equal to the Prime Rate plus Zero
Percent (0%), which rate shall change contemporaneously with any change in the
Prime Rate.

(b)  Commencing on the Fixed Asset Conversion Date and continuing until the
principal amount of each Fixed Asset Loan is paid in full, Fixed Asset Loans
shall bear interest at FHLB Classic Rate plus Three Percent (3%), determined as
of the Fixed Asset Conversion Date.

Interest shall be due and payable in arrears commencing September 1, 2011 and
continuing on the first (1st) day of each succeeding calendar month thereafter
until the entire outstanding principal amount of the Fixed Asset Line of Credit
is paid in full.

Section 2.4C.6.  Record of Fixed Asset Loans.  Each Fixed Asset Loan shall be
recorded on the books maintained by Bank with respect to the Loan Account by
Bank.  Bank shall also record on such books all payments made by Borrower on the
Fixed Asset Note, interest and expenses and other appropriate debits and credits
as herein provided.  Bank shall from time to time render and send to Borrower a
statement of the Loan Account showing the outstanding aggregate principal
balance of the Fixed Asset Note, together with interest and other appropriate
debits and credits as of the date of the statement.  The statement of Loan
Account shall be considered correct in all respects and accepted by and be
conclusively binding upon Borrower unless Borrower makes specific written
objections thereto within sixty (60) days after the date the statement of the
Loan Account is received or later presents objective evidence demonstrating a
manifest error by Bank in the preparation of the statement of the Loan Account..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 
Section 2.4C.7.  Termination.  The Fixed Asset Line of Credit and Bank’s
obligation to lend thereunder shall terminate on the Fixed Asset Termination

(b)  The Borrower may prepay Fixed Asset Loans bearing interest at the FHLB
Classic Rate in whole or in part upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to
Bank and subject to premium as set forth in this Section 2.4C.8.  Upon any such
prepayment, whether by voluntary prepayment, acceleration or otherwise, Borrower
shall pay a "yield maintenance fee" in an amount computed as follows: The
current cost of funds, specifically the bond equivalent yield for United States
Treasury securities (bills on a discounted basis shall be converted to a bond
equivalent yield) with a maturity date closest to the remaining term of the
applicable Fixed Asset Loan, shall be subtracted from the interest rate set
forth in Section 2.4C.5, or default rate if applicable.  If the result is zero
or a negative number, there shall be no yield maintenance fee due and payable.
If the result is a positive number, then the resulting percentage shall be
multiplied by the scheduled outstanding principal balance for each remaining
monthly period of the applicable Fixed Asset Loan.  Each resulting amount shall
be divided by 360 and multiplied by the number of days in the monthly period.
Said amounts shall be reduced to present values calculated by using the above
reference current costs of funds divided by twelve (12). The resulting sum of
present values shall be the "fixed prepayment charge" due to Lender upon
prepayment of the principal of the applicable Fixed Asset Loan plus any accrued
interest due as of the prepayment date.
