As used herein, “Permitted Warrant Transaction” means any call option, warrant or right to purchase (or substantively equivalent derivative transaction) on Existing Borrower’s common stock sold by Existing Borrower substantially concurrently with any purchase by Existing Borrower of a related Permitted Bond Hedge Transaction.”

“SECTION 5.7 LOANS, ADVANCES, INVESTMENTS. Make any loans or advances to or investments in any person or entity, except (a) any of the foregoing existing as of, and disclosed to Bank prior to, the date hereof and (b) pursuant to any Permitted Bond Hedge Transaction.”


5. Section 5.8 of the Agreement hereby is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“SECTION 5.8 DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS. Declare or pay any dividend or distribution either in cash, stock or any other property on Borrower’s stock now or hereafter outstanding, nor redeem, retire, repurchase or otherwise acquire any shares of any class of Borrower’s stock now or hereafter outstanding except:

(a) pursuant to any Permitted Bond Hedge Transaction;

(c) Existing Borrower may make cash payments in connection with any conversions of Permitted Convertible Indebtedness; provided that (1) both immediately prior and after giving effect to any such payment, (x) no Event of Default shall exist or result therefrom and (y) Borrower shall be in compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 4.9; and

(d) Existing Borrower may purchase a Permitted Bond Hedge Transaction and can settle any related Permitted Warrant Transaction by set-off against such related Permitted Bond Hedge Transaction (if such set-off is permitted under the terms thereof), by delivery of shares of its common stock and, subject to compliance with the proviso to paragraph (c) above, by payment of the amounts due under the Permitted Warrant Transaction in cash, securities or other property.”

6. Section 6.1(g) of the Agreement hereby is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“(g) There shall exist or occur any event or condition that Bank in good faith believes materially impairs, or is substantially likely materially to impair, the prospect of payment or performance by Borrower, any Third Party Obligor, or the general partner of either if such entity is a partnership, of its material obligations under any of the Loan Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, Borrower and Bank agree that Borrower’s entry into, performance of its obligations under and settlement (by early termination or otherwise) of any Permitted Convertible Indebtedness, any Permitted Bond Hedge Transaction or any Permitted Warrant Transaction entered into in accordance with this Agreement will not materially impair such prospect of payment or performance.”

7. No course of dealing on the part of Bank or its officers, nor any failure or delay in the exercise of any right by Bank, shall operate as a waiver thereof, and any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude any later exercise of any such right. Bank’s failure at any time to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision shall not affect any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance. Any suspension or waiver of a right must be in writing signed by an officer of Bank.

8. Unless otherwise defined, all initially capitalized terms in this Amendment shall be as defined in the Agreement. The Agreement, as amended hereby, shall be and remain in full force and effect in accordance with its respective terms and hereby is ratified and confirmed in all respects. Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of, or as an amendment of, any right, power, or remedy of Bank under the Agreement, as in effect prior to the date hereof.

9. Borrower represents and warrants that the Representations and Warranties contained in the Agreement are true and correct as of the date of this Amendment, and that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

10. As a condition to the effectiveness of this Amendment, Bank shall have received, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank:

(a) this Amendment, duly executed by Borrower;


(b) the certificate of the chief financial officer of Borrower contemplated by the proviso to Section 5.4 of the Agreement, as amended by this Amendment; and

(c) all reasonable fees and expenses incurred through the date of this Amendment, which may be debited from any of Borrower’s accounts.

11. Promptly (and in any event, within three Business Days) following the closing of any offering of any Permitted Convertible Indebtedness and/or the entering into of any Permitted Bond Hedge Transaction or Permitted Warrant Transaction by Borrower, Borrower shall provide to Bank (i) executed copies of the applicable Convertible Debt Documents and (ii) a certificate of the chief financial officer of Borrower stating that the Convertible Debt Documents are consistent in all material respects with the summary description delivered with the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 10(b) hereof.

12. This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
