Recitals
Whereas Borrower, Union Bank, Wells Fargo and Agent are party to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of July 5, 2012 (as amended prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement” and, as further amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”); 
Whereas the parties hereto have agreed to certain changes in the terms and conditions set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement and have agreed to amend the Existing Credit Agreement to reflect such changes;
Now, therefore, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree that the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows; provided that nothing contained herein shall terminate any security interests, guaranties, subordinations or other documents in favor of Agent, all of which shall remain in full force and effect unless expressly amended hereby:
Section 1.    Definitions.  Each capitalized term used but not otherwise defined herein has the meaning assigned to it in the Existing Credit Agreement.
Section 2.    Amendments to Credit Agreement.  Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment in accordance with Section 3 hereof, the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
(a)    Section 4.9(a) of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read in full as follows:
(a)    Minimum Liquidity not less than $75,000,000.00 at all times, measured on a consolidated basis at each fiscal quarter end.
As used herein, the term “Minimum Liquidity” means the sum of unrestricted cash, unrestricted short‐term and long‐term marketable securities and Revolver Availability.
As used herein, the term “Revolver Availability” means the lesser of (i) the difference between the Line of Credit minus the Outstanding Amount of all Line of Credit Advances minus the Outstanding Amount of all Letter of Credit Obligations and (ii) $25,000,000.00.
Section 3.    Conditions Precedent.

(b)    No Default or Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing.

Section 7.    Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of identical counterparts, any set of which signed by all the parties hereto shall be deemed to constitute a complete, executed original for all purposes.
