First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated October 24, 2007

 EXHIBIT 10.1 
 FIRST AMENDMENT TO 
 AMENDED
AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 This First Amendment to Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) is made as of October 24, 2007 among the undersigned, Nobel Learning Communities, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the Guarantors party thereto, Harris N.A.
(“Harris”), individually and as Administrative Agent (Harris being referred to herein in such capacity as the “Administrative Agent”), and the other Lenders currently party to the Credit Agreement (together with
Harris, collectively referred to herein as the “Lenders”). 
 PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS 

 A. The Borrower, the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as
of October 30, 2006 (as heretofore amended, the “Credit Agreement”). All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings herein as such terms have in the Credit Agreement. 
 B. The Borrower has requested that the Lenders amend and waive certain provisions to the Credit Agreement and the Lenders are willing to do so under the
terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration,
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 SECTION 1. CONSENT
TO ACQUISITIONS. 
 The Borrower has informed the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that it has completed the
Acquisition (collectively the “Acquisitions”) of substantially all of the assets of each of Second NP Center Corporation (“NP”), AP Center, Inc. (“AP”), ED Center, Inc. (“ED”) and
MM Center, Inc. (“MM,” and together with NP, AP and ED collectively referred to herein as “Learning Ladder”) and Teddy Bear Preschool, Inc. (“Teddy Bear”). The Borrower has requested that the
Lenders consent to the Acquisitions and confirm that such Acquisitions shall be deemed to be Permitted Acquisitions for the purpose of the Credit Agreement. 
 Accordingly, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 below, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Acquisitions and confirm that the same constituted
Permitted Acquisitions for all purposes of the Credit Agreement. 
 Notwithstanding anything contained in the Credit Agreement to the
contrary, for purposes of calculating EBITDA, the historical EBITDA of Learning Ladder for the period prior to the Consummation Date of such Acquisition shall be excluded. 

 SECTION 2. WAIVERS. 
 The Borrower has informed the Lenders that it has dissolved each of Nobel Learning Technologies, Inc., Nobel School Management Services, Inc., Paladin
Academy, L.L.C., and The Activities Club, Inc. (collectively, the “Dissolved Subsidiaries”). The Borrower’s dissolution of the Dissolved Subsidiaries resulted in the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(f)
of the Credit Agreement due to the Borrower’s failure to comply with Section 8.1 of the Credit Agreement (the “Dissolution Default”). 
 The Borrower has also informed the Lenders that it has failed to comply with the requirements of Section 4.4 of the Credit Agreement with respect to Discovery Isle Child Development Center, Inc.
(“Discovery”). The Borrower’s failure to comply with Section 4.4 of the Credit Agreement with respect to Discovery resulted in the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(e) of the Credit Agreement (the
“Discovery Default”). 
 The Borrower failed to deliver the items required by Section 8.5(f) of the Credit Agreement
with respect to its fiscal year ending June 30, 2008 on or prior to July 31, 2007. The Borrower’s failure to comply with Section 8.5(f) resulted in the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(b) of the Credit
Agreement (the “Reporting Default”) (the Dissolution Default, the Discovery Default and the Reporting Default are referred to collectively herein as the “Existing Defaults”). 
 The Borrower has requested that the Lenders waive the Existing Defaults and, upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in
Section 4 hereof, the Lenders have agreed to so waive such Existing Defaults. 
 SECTION 3. AMENDMENT. 
 Subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 hereof, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows: 
 Section 3.01. The defined term “EBITDA” appearing in Section 5.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its
entirety and as so amended shall be restated to read as follows: 
 “EBITDA” means, with reference to any
period (each, a “Test Period”), Net Income for such period plus the sum of all amounts deducted in arriving at such Net Income amount in respect of (a) Interest Expense for such period, (b) federal, state, and local
income taxes for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for such period, (c) depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for such period, (d) non-cash compensation granted during such
period, including any such charges resulting from stock options, restricted stock grants or other equity incentive programs and (e) for any fiscal quarter, non-cash losses in an amount reasonably acceptable 

 
to the Administrative Agent resulting from impairment charges arising from the application of SFAS No. 142 or SFAS No. 144, less
(f) interest income and extraordinary gains for such period, (g) any cash lease expenses incurred by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries during such Test Period and charged against the lease expense reserve as set forth on Schedule 5.1
hereof for such Test Period, less (h) cash severance expenses incurred by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for such Test Period and charged against the severance expense reserve as set forth on Schedule 5.1 hereto for such Test
Period. EBITDA shall be calculated on a pro forma basis to give effect to any Permitted Acquisition consummated at any time on or after the first day of the Test Period thereof as if each such Permitted Acquisition had been effect on the first day
of such Test Period, and EBITDA shall be calculated to include (i) the historical EBITDA of the Acquired Business as evidenced by the financial statements or financial due diligence analysis delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
clauses (c), (f) and, to the extent required, (g) of the definition of Permitted Acquisition for the period from the first day of such Test Period to, but not including, the date of the consummation of such Permitted Acquisition (the
“Consummation Date”), subject to any cash or non-cash adjustments consented to by the Required Lenders and (ii) the actual EBITDA of the Acquired Business for the period from the Consummation Date to, and including, the last
day of the Test Period. The historical EBITDA of the Acquired Businesses acquired in connection with the Discovery Acquisition and the Teddy Bear Acquisition to be included in the calculation of EBITDA shall be set forth in Schedule 5.1 hereto. The
Borrower may adjust the items referred to in clause (g) above appearing on Schedule 5.1 hereto from time to time by delivering an amended Schedule 5.1 with any Compliance Certificate required to be delivered pursuant to Section 8.5 hereof,
subject to the review and approval of such amended Schedule by the Administrative Agent which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 Section 3.02. The defined term “Immaterial Subsidiary” appearing in Section 5.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety and as so amended shall be restated to read as follows: 

“Immaterial Subsidiary” means and includes, at any time, Discovery Isle Child Development Center, Inc. and each
Subsidiary formed by Borrower or a Subsidiary thereof and any additional Subsidiary acquired by the Borrower or a Subsidiary thereof in a Permitted Acquisition: provided, however, that the foregoing Subsidiaries shall constitute Immaterial
Subsidiaries for the purposes of this Agreement only if and so long as (i) such 

 
Subsidiaries have total assets (determined on a consolidating basis in accordance with GAAP) as of such date with a fair market value in an aggregate amount
not in excess of $100,000 and (ii) as of the last day of the most recently completed calendar month, the aggregate EBITDA of such Subsidiaries for the twelve calendar month period ended on such date shall be less than or equal to 2% of the
EBITDA of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP. The Borrower hereby covenants that if at any time the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the proviso to the immediately
preceding sentence (“Subsidiary Threshold Conditions”) shall fail to be true, the Borrower shall cause certain of such Subsidiaries to comply with the terms of Section 4 hereof such that after giving effect thereto, the
Subsidiary Threshold Conditions shall be true. Any Subsidiary required to comply with Section 4 hereof shall not constitute Immaterial Subsidiaries. 
 Section 3.03. The defined term “Permitted Acquisition” appearing in Section 5.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety and as so amended shall be restated to read
as follows: 
 “Permitted Acquisition” means any Acquisition with respect to which all of the following
conditions shall have been satisfied: 
 (a) the Acquired Business is in an Eligible Line of Business and has its primary
operations within the United States of America; 
 (b) the Acquisition shall not be a Hostile Acquisition; 
 (c) the financial statements of the Acquired Business shall have been audited by an independent accounting firm reasonably satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent, or if such financial statements have not been audited by such an accounting firm, (i) such financial statements shall have been approved by the Required Lenders and (ii) the Acquired Business has undergone a
review, compilation or financial analysis by an independent accounting firm reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as part of the applicable Borrower’s due diligence on the Acquisition; 
 (d) the financial statements provided pursuant to clause (c) above shall evidence that the EBITDA of the Acquired Business for the
twelve most recently completed calendar months is not less than $0; 

 (e) the aggregate Total Consideration for all Acquired Businesses acquired in any fiscal
year of the Borrower shall not exceed (i) $18,000,000 during the Borrower’s fiscal year ending on or about June 30, 2007, (ii) $30,000,000 during the Borrower’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, and
(iii) $15,000,000 during any fiscal year of the Borrower ending thereafter; 
 (f) the Borrower shall have notified the
Administrative Agent and Lenders not less than 10 Business Days prior to the consummation of any such Acquisition and furnished to the Administrative Agent and Lenders at such time reasonable details as to such Acquisition (including sources and
uses of funds therefor), 3-year historical financial information for the Acquired Business and covenant compliance calculations reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent demonstrating satisfaction of the condition described in
clause (i) below; 
 (g) if the Total Consideration for the Acquired Business exceeds $5,000,000, the Borrower shall
supply to the Administrative Agent and Lenders (i) a third party quality of earnings report completed by a firm that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion and (ii) 3-year pro forma financial forecasts of
the Acquired Business on a stand alone basis; 
 (h) if a new Subsidiary (to the extent not an Immaterial Subsidiary) is
formed or acquired as a result of or in connection with the Acquisition, the Borrower shall have complied with the requirements of Section 4 hereof in connection therewith; 
 (i) the Administrative Agent shall have received a Compliance Certificate evidencing, to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent,
that (i) the Total Funded Debt/EBITDA Ratio, calculated on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Acquisition is not greater than (x) the then applicable ratio set forth in Section 8.21(a) hereof minus
(y) 0.25 to 1.0, and (ii) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, calculated on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Acquisition shall not be less than 1.30 to 1.00; 
 (j) after giving effect to the Acquisition and any Credit Event in connection therewith, no Default or Event of Default shall exist,
including with respect to the financial covenants contained in Section 8.21 hereof on a pro forma basis; and 

 (k) after giving effect to the Acquisition and any Credit Event in connection therewith,
the Borrower shall have not less than $5,000,000 of Unused Revolving Credit Commitments. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing,
with respect to Acquisitions in any single fiscal year the aggregate Total Consideration of which is less than $2,000,000, such Acquisitions shall constitute Permitted Acquisitions upon compliance with only clauses (h) and (i) of this
definition. 
 Section 3.04. Section 5.1 of the Credit Agreement is being amended by including the following defined term in
the appropriate alphabetical location therefor: 
 “Teddy Bear Acquisition” means the purchase by the
Borrower of substantially all of the assets of Teddy Bear. 
 Section 3.05. The first sentence of Section 8.1 of the Credit
Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety and as so amended shall read as follows: 
 The Borrower shall, and shall cause

 Section 3.06. Section 8.17 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety and as so amended shall read as follows: 
 Section 8.17. Formation of Subsidiaries. Promptly upon the formation or acquisition of any Subsidiary, the Borrower shall

Subsidiary is not an Immaterial Subsidiary. Except for Foreign Subsidiaries existing on the Closing Date and identified on Schedule 6.2 hereof, the Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any Subsidiary to, form or acquire any Foreign
Subsidiary.

restated to read as set forth on Schedule 5.1 attached hereto.

	 	Re:	Binding Letter Agreement Between Raser Technologies, Inc. (“Raser”) and the Members of GeoLectric Power Company NM, LLC (“GeoLectric”) which owns 100% of the
shares of Lightning Dock Geothermal, Inc. 

 Dear Jack and Ed, 
 This letter will confirm our understanding and agreement between Raser and GeoLectric regarding terms for the purchase of 100% of membership interests of GeoLectric. 
 Raser has based this offer on information gathered through initial due diligence efforts including discussions with GeoLectric. GeoLectric has no knowledge of any
material fact or opinion that has not been discussed with Raser that would negatively impact the commercial viability of a geothermal project on the site. 
  

	 	1.	Summary of the Transaction 

 Subject to board
approval and due diligence, Raser will purchase 100% of the membership interests of GeoLectric per the terms outlined below. Upon execution of this Binding Letter Agreement, Raser and GeoLectric will move expeditiously towards closing the
transaction via a Definitive Purchase and Sale agreement. The Definitive Purchase and Sale Agreement will contain, among other things, standard representations and warranties, an escrow and/or return provisions so that title to the membership
interests of GeoLectric does not pass until such time as Raser has fully performed under the Definitive Purchase and Sale Agreement, and that time will be of the essence. 
  

	 	2.	Summary of Terms 

  

			
	 Term
	  	 Description

	Upfront Payments	  	 Initial Deposit: $500,000 cash upon the execution of this Letter Agreement on or before Friday, September 28, 2007, $50,000 of which shall be
non-refundable and $450,000 of which shall be refundable only upon material misrepresentation by GeoLectric.
  
 and
  
 No later than October 31, 2007, and upon completion of due diligence, Raser shall pay GeoLectric an additional $1,500,000 cash. Due diligence shall include (i) verification of leases and title,
(ii) verification of acceptable access and use agreement with the surface owner(s), (iii) verification of liabilities, (iv) providing of all geology reports.

  

 1 

			
	Additional Payments	  	 Additional payments of $2,700,000 in cash will be paid to GeoLectric as follows:
  
 $750,000 upon the earlier of December 15, 2007 or a successful flow test of Well 55-7,
demonstrating a flow rate of approximately 2,500 gallons per minute, or greater, with an average wellhead temperature of approximately 285° F, or greater. GeoLectric shall be responsible to obtain permission from the State of New Mexico and such
other permissions as are necessary to permit the flow test.
  
 $1,000,000 upon the
earlier of December 31, 2007 or the execution of a Power Purchase Agreement or other mutually acceptable event.
  
 $950,000 on the earlier of 12/31/2008 or the Commercial Operation Date of a facility on GeoLectric’s property. This amount shall be secured in some agreeable form.

  

	 	3.	Binding Nature 

 This letter creates a binding and
enforceable contract between the parties. 
  

	 	4.	Cooperation 

 GeoLectric will cooperate and
coordinate with Raser to develop the project, and in addition shall not compete with Raser with regards to the acquisition or development of any additional lands within a ten mile radius of the Property. 
  

	 	5.	Confidentiality 

 The existence of this letter and
its contents are intended to be confidential and are not to be discussed with or disclosed to any third party, except (i) with the express prior written consent of the other party hereto, (ii) as may be required or appropriate in response
to any summons, subpoena, or discovery order or to comply with any applicable law, order, regulation or ruling, or (iii) as the parties, or their designees, reasonably deem appropriate in order to accomplish the purposes of this letter
agreement, or (iv) Raser’s announcement as required by its public entity status. 
  

	 	6.	Oral Agreements 

 This letter sets out the
parties’ understanding as of this date, and there are no other written or oral agreements or understandings among the parties. 
  

	 	7.	Geothermal Rights 

 GeoLectric represents that it
has the geothermal rights at the property and has sufficient surface access to develop a geothermal power plant on such property. 
  

	 	8.	Option on other Projects 

 As part of this
agreement, Raser will have an exclusive 45 day option period, commencing on the date of this Letter Agreement, to negotiate an agreement for the 

  

 2 

 
acquisition of the *** and *** projects. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Raser understands that GeoLectric has commenced discussions with *** and ***. Nothing
herein contained shall prevent GeoLectric from consummating a deal with *** and/or *** for one or both of those properties. 
  

	 	9.	Approval, Due Diligence, Expiration 

 This proposal
is subject to Raser’s Board Approval and, with the exception of the initial $500,000 payment, Due Diligence as would be customary for this type of transaction.
