WITNESSETH:

 

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent are parties to a certain Treasury Secured Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2011 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement), pursuant to which the Lenders have made certain financial accommodations available to the Borrower;

 

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (i) consent to the repurchase by the Borrower of shares of its common stock, par value $.001 per share (“Common Stock”) from time to time and (ii) amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lenders are willing to do so;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of all of which are acknowledged, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agree as follows:

 

1. Consent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Agreement and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3 below, the Lenders hereby consent to the Borrower’s repurchase of Common Stock from time to time, and waive any Default associated with such repurchase of Common Stock, provided that (i) at the time of each such repurchase no Default shall be continuing and (ii) the aggregate consideration paid for all such purchases of Common Stock pursuant to this Consent shall not exceed $10,000,000.

 

2. Amendment. Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the definition of “Commitment Termination Date” in its entirety with the following definition:

 

Commitment Termination Date” shall mean the earliest of (i) March 31, 2013, (ii) the date on which the Aggregate Commitments are terminated pursuant to Section 2.7 and (iii) the date on which all amounts outstanding under this Agreement have been declared or have automatically become due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

 

 
 

 

3. Conditions to Effectiveness of this Consent and Amendment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Consent and Amendment and without affecting in any manner the rights of the Lenders hereunder, it is understood and agreed that this Consent and Amendment shall not become effective, and the Borrower shall have no rights under this Consent and Amendment, until the Administrative Agent shall have received (i) an arrangement fee in the amount of $125,000, payable to the Administrative Agent for its own account, (ii) such other fees as the Borrower has previously agreed to pay the Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates in connection with this Consent and Amendment, (iii) reimbursement or payment of its costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Consent and Amendment or the Credit Agreement (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of King & Spalding LLP, counsel to the Administrative Agent), (iv) executed counterparts to this Consent and Amendment from the Borrower and the Lenders and (v) a fully executed copy of that certain Consent, effective as of March 30, 2012, by and among the Borrower, Administrative Agent and other parties thereto, concerning the Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of December 6, 2011 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time).

6. Effect of Consent and Amendment. Except as set forth expressly herein, all terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, and the other Loan Documents shall be and remain in full force and effect and shall constitute the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.

7. Governing Law.

 

(a) This Consent and Amendment shall be construed in accordance with and be governed by the law (without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof) of the State of New York.
