Administrative Agent and a Lender. 
 W I T N E S S E T H 

WHEREAS, the Lenders and the Borrower entered into a certain Credit Agreement dated as of November 26, 2008 (the “Credit
Agreement”), establishing a line of credit in favor of the Borrower in the principal amount of up to Sixty Million Dollars ($60,000,000) (capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings as set forth in the Credit Agreement); and

 WHEREAS, the Borrower and the Lenders amended the Credit Agreement and Loan Documents on January 2, 2009 to, among other
things, (i) increase the amount of the Aggregate Commitments to $60,000,000; (ii) amend certain fee provisions; and (iii) amend the Loan Documents in certain other respects; and 

WHEREAS, the Borrower and the Lenders have agreed to further amend the Credit Agreement and Loan Documents to (i) increase the
amount of the Aggregate Commitments to $80,000,000; (ii) change the Applicable Percentages of each Lender; (iii) amend the Applicable Margin; and (iv) amend certain fee provisions. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements therein contained, the receipt and adequacy of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties covenant, stipulate and agree as follows: 
 1. Representations and Warranties of
the Borrower. As of the Amendment Date, the Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders as follows: 
 (A) The
representations and warranties of the Borrower made in the Loan Documents are true and accurate and are hereby reaffirmed as of the date hereof, subject to such materiality qualifiers as may be included in such representations and warranties, and
save for representations and warranties made as of a specified date, which were true and correct as of such date. 
 (B) There
is no unremedied Event of Default. 
 (C) This Agreement will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the Borrower,
enforceable in accordance with its terms. 







 2. Amendments to Credit Agreement. Effective as of the Amendment Date, the Credit
Agreement shall be amended as follows: 
 (A) The defined term “Aggregate Commitments” in Section 1.01 shall be
deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: 
 “Aggregate Commitments” means the aggregate
Commitments of all Lenders which shall: (a) from the Amendment Date until May 31, 2009, equal $80,000,000, unless earlier reduced by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.06 and (b) beginning on June 1, 2009, equal
$60,000,000, unless earlier reduced by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.06.” 
 (B) The defined term
“Applicable Percentage” in Section 1.01 shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: 

“Applicable Percentage” means, at any time, with respect to any Lender, the percentage (carried out to the ninth decimal
place) of the Aggregate Commitments represented by such Lender’s Commitment at such time. If the Commitment of each Lender to make Loans and the obligation of each have been terminated pursuant to Section 8.02 or if the Aggregate
Commitments have expired, then the Applicable Percentage of each Lender shall be determined based on the Applicable Percentage of such Lender most recently in effect, without giving effect to any subsequent assignments. The Applicable Percentage of
each Lender as of the Amendment Date is set forth opposite the name of such Lender on Schedule 2.01 or in the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Lender becomes a party hereto, as applicable.” 

(C) The defined term “Applicable Margin” in Section 1.01 shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 “Applicable Margin” means, with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans and Floating Rate Loans, a per annum rate
equal to: 
 (a) until such time as the Borrower has received the Equity Injection: (i) from the Amendment Date to
March 31, 2009, 3.5%; (ii) from April 1, 2009 to June 30, 2009, 4%; and (iii) from July 1, 2009 until the Maturity Date, 4.5%; or 

(b) if the Equity Injection is received by the Borrower before June 1, 2009, and the Aggregate Commitments have not been reduced to
$60,000,000 by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.06, then from the date of the Equity Injection until June 1, 2009, 2.5%; or 

(c) if the Equity Injection is received by the Borrower (i) before June 1, 2009 and the Aggregate Commitments have been reduced
to $60,000,000 by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.06, or (ii) after June 1, 2009, then from the date of the Equity Injection until the Maturity Date, 1.75%.” 

 

 2 








 (D) The existing Section 2.01 shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following: 
 “2.01 Committed Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally
agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Committed Loan”) to Borrower from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s
Commitment; provided, that after giving effect to any Committed Borrowing, (i) the Total Outstanding shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Lender, shall
not exceed such Lender’s Commitment. Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.05, and
reborrow under this Section 2.01. Committed Loans shall be Floating Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein.” 

(E) The existing Section 2.09(c) shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: 

“(c) Lenders’ Upfront Fee. Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with their
respective Applicable Percentages (i) on the Amendment Date, an upfront fee in an amount equal to fifty (50) basis points of the $20,000,000 increase in the Aggregate Commitment from $60,000,000 to $80,000,000 pursuant to the Second
Amendment and (ii) a per annum fee equal to thirty (30) basis points of the unused portion of the $80,000,000 Aggregate Commitment, payable quarterly in arrears. If the Equity Injection has not been received between November 26, 2008
and March 31, 2009, an additional 50 basis points times the full $60,000,000 Aggregate Commitment shall be due and payable on April 1, 2009. Such upfront fees are for the credit facilities committed by Lenders under this Agreement and are
fully earned on the date paid. The upfront fee paid to each Lender is solely for its own account and is not refundable for any reason whatsoever.”
