RECITALS


 


                WHEREAS,
Borrower is currently indebted to Bank pursuant to the terms and conditions of
that certain Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank dated as of February 13,
2004, as amended from time to time (“Credit Agreement”).


 


                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.


 


                NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the parties hereto agree that the Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows:


 


                1.             Section 1.1 is hereby deleted in its entirety, and
the following substituted therefor:


 


             “SECTION 1.1.         LINE OF CREDIT.


 


             (a)               Line
of Credit.  Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, Bank hereby agrees to make advances to Borrower
from time to time up to and including January 1, 2010, not to exceed at
any time the aggregate principal amount of Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000.00)
(“Line of Credit”), the proceeds of which shall be used to finance Borrower’s
working capital requirements.  Borrower’s
obligation to repay advances under the Line of Credit shall be evidenced by a
promissory note dated as of January 1, 2008  (“Line of Credit Note”), all terms of which
are incorporated herein by this reference.


 


             (b)              Letter
of Credit Subfeature.  As a
subfeature under the Line of Credit, Bank agrees from time to time during the
term thereof to issue or cause an affiliate to issue commercial or standby
letters of credit for the account of Borrower to finance working capital (each,
a “Letter of Credit” and collectively, “Letters of Credit”); provided however,
that the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall
not at any time exceed Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000.00).  The form and substance of each Letter of
Credit shall be subject to approval by Bank, in its sole discretion.  No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration
date subsequent to the Line of Credit. 
The undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit shall be reserved under the
Line of Credit and shall not be available for borrowings thereunder.  Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the
additional terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit agreements,
applications and any related documents required by Bank in connection with the
issuance thereof.  Each drawing paid
under a Letter of Credit shall be deemed an advance under the Line of Credit
and shall be repaid by Borrower in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this Agreement applicable to such advances; provided however, that if advances
under 


 


1

















 


the
Line of Credit are not available, for any reason, at the time any drawing is
paid, then Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank the full amount drawn,
together with interest thereon from the date such drawing is paid to the date
such amount is fully repaid by Borrower, at the rate of interest applicable to
advances under the Line of Credit.  In
such event Borrower agrees that Bank, in its sole discretion, may debit any
account maintained by Borrower with Bank for the amount of any such drawing.


 


                (c)           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.”


 


                2.             Section 1.2 (d) is hereby deleted in its
entirety, and the following substituted therefor:


 


             “(d)            Unused Commitment Fee.  Borrower shall pay to Bank a fee equal to one
tenth percent (0.10%) per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year,
actual days elapsed) on the average daily unused amount of the Line of Credit,
which fee shall be calculated on a quarterly basis by Bank and shall be due and
payable by Borrower in arrears each February 1, May 1, August 1,
and November 1.”


 


                3.  The following is hereby added to the Credit
Agreement as Section 3.2 (c):


 


                “(c)         Additional Letter of Credit Documentation.  Prior to the issuance of each Letter of
Credit, Bank shall have received a Letter of Credit Agreement, properly
completed and duly executed by Borrower.”


 


                4.             In consideration of the changes set forth herein and as
a condition to the effectiveness hereof, immediately upon signing this Amendment
Borrower shall pay to Bank a non-refundable fee of $37,500.00.


 


                5.             Except as specifically provided herein, all terms and
conditions of the Credit Agreement remain in full force and effect, without
waiver or modification.  All terms
defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the same meaning when used in this
Amendment.  This Amendment and the Credit
Agreement shall be read together, as one document.


 


                6.             Borrower hereby remakes all representations and
warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and reaffirms all covenants set
forth therein.  Borrower further
certifies that as of the date of this Amendment there exists no Event of
Default as defined in the Credit Agreement, nor any condition, act or event
which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute
any such Event of Default.
