(a)           Subject at all times to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lender hereby agrees to extend to the Borrower a secured revolving credit facility, from the Closing Date to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed, at any time outstanding, the Maximum Revolver Amount then in effect (the “ Revolving Credit Commitment ”).

 

(b)           Such revolving credit loans are herein sometimes referred to individually as an “ Advance ” and collectively as the “ Advances .”  Subject at all times to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, from the Closing Date to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and within the limits of the Revolving Credit Commitment, the Lender shall lend, and the Borrower may borrow, prepay (without premium or penalty) and reborrow under this Section 2.01.  Each request for an Advance (i) shall be irrevocable for the amount requested therein, (ii) shall be deemed to constitute an express affirmation that all conditions precedent set forth in part B of Article IV below are satisfied on the date of such request and will be satisfied on the requested Borrowing Date, and (iii) shall be made to the Lender in writing, not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, by an authorized officer of the Borrower or by telephonic communication by such authorized officer to the Lender, which shall be confirmed by written notice to the Lender to be delivered to the Lender by the Business Day next following the subject request.  In no event shall the Borrower request, or shall the Lender be required to honor, (A) any request for an Advance in an amount greater than the Availability at such time, (B) any request for an Advance in an amount less than $100,000 (or, if less, the remaining Availability at such time), or (C) more than two (2) requests for the borrowing of Advances in any seven (7) calendar day period.  Anything elsewhere contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, on the Closing Date, the Lender shall make an Advance to the Borrower in an amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of and unpaid accrued interest on the Term Loan, the proceeds of which shall be used on the Closing Date to repay in full such principal and interest of the Term Loan (whereupon the Lender shall mark the Term Note as “paid in full” and cancel same).

(c)           The Borrower shall pay the Lender interest on all Advances at the rate(s) per annum as in effect from time to time in accordance with the Revolving Credit Note, which shall be computed on the daily unpaid balance of all Advances made under the Borrower’s revolving credit loan accounts with the Lender, based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year, counting the actual number of days elapsed.  Such interest shall be payable in the amounts and at the times provided in the Revolving Credit Note.  The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender to charge the Borrower’s revolving credit loan accounts for all such interest; provided , however , that the Lender shall be under no obligation to make any such charge to the Borrower’s revolving credit loan accounts (including, without limitation, if there is insufficient Availability at the time such interest is due and payable).

 

(d)           In the event and to the extent that, at any time, the outstanding principal amount of Advances exceeds the Maximum Revolver Amount then in effect, then the Borrower shall immediately, without notice or demand, make a payment to the Lender in respect of the Advances in an amount sufficient to cause the outstanding principal amount of Advances to be equal to or less than the Maximum Revolver Amount then in effect.

 

(e)           Unless sooner due and payable by reason of an Event of Default hereunder having occurred and having been continuing at the time of acceleration, the Borrower shall pay in full all of the Obligations to the Lender in respect of all Advances on or prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.  If so requested by the Borrower not earlier than September 30, 2010 and not later than October 31, 2010, the Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to extend the Revolving Credit Maturity Date to December 31, 2011, provided that any such extension must be stated in writing by the Lender and shall be expressly subject to there being no continuing Default or Event of Default on the originally scheduled Revolving Credit Maturity Date (which condition may be waived in the Lender’s sole and absolute discretion).

 

(f)           All Advances shall be evidenced by a secured Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note of the Borrower payable to the Lender or registered assigns.

 

(g)           On the first Business Day of each of the first twelve (12) calendar weeks in each calendar quarter commencing with the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2010, the Maximum Revolver Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to 1/12 th of the amount, calculated as of the last day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, equal to the sum of (i) the amount (if any) of Availability, plus (ii) all cash and cash equivalents of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries determined in accordance with GAAP on a consolidated basis, minus (iii) all documented reasonable Costs and Expenses incurred and paid in cash by the Borrower between the date of this Agreement and such quarter-end in connection with the registration of the resale of the Warrant Shares.  Such reduction amounts shall initially be based upon an estimated consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to be delivered by the Borrower to the Lender not later than the last day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, and such reductions shall be subject to adjustment and reconciliation on the first weekly reduction date following delivery of the final consolidated balance sheet for the immediately preceding calendar quarter; and in the event that the Borrower is late in delivering any such estimated balance sheet, the adjustments to be made pending delivery of the delinquent balance sheet shall be made in such amounts as the Lender may determine in its Permitted Discretion.  To the extent that, after giving effect to any such reduction, the outstanding Advances shall exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment, then the Borrower shall immediately, without notice or demand, make a payment to the Lender in respect of the Advances in an amount sufficient to cause the outstanding principal amount of Advances to be equal to or less than the Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect.  In addition, the Borrower may, at its option, without payment of any premium or penalty, terminate or reduce the Maximum Revolver Amount at any time by giving ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lender, and paying to the Lender, (A) on the date fixed for termination, an amount equal to the sum of all outstanding principal and accrued interest of the Advances, or (B) on the date fixed for reduction, any amount required to cause the outstanding Advances to be equal to or less than the Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect; and following any such optional reduction, the starting point for the next mandatory reduction shall be the Maximum Revolver Amount established pursuant to the optional reduction.
