“(b)  Repayment. Borrower shall make monthly payments of interest only commencing on the first (1st) Payment Date following the Funding Date of each Term Loan (including the Original Term Loans) and continuing on the Payment Date of each successive month thereafter through and including the Payment Date immediately preceding the Amortization Date. Borrower agrees to pay, on the Funding Date of each Term Loan, any initial partial monthly interest payment otherwise due for the period between the Funding Date of such Term Loan and the first Payment Date thereof. Commencing on the Amortization Date, and continuing on the Payment Date of each month thereafter, Borrower shall make consecutive equal monthly payments of principal, together with applicable interest, in arrears, to each Lender, as calculated by Collateral Agent (which calculations shall be deemed correct absent manifest error) based upon: (1) the amount of such Lender’s Term Loan, (2) the effective rate of interest, as determined in

Section 2.3(a), and (3) a repayment schedule equal to thirty (30) months; provided, that if Borrower achieves the Revenue Milestone, then the foregoing clause (3) shall be based upon a repayment schedule equal to twenty-one (21) months. All unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest with respect to each Term Loan is due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. Each Term Loan may only be prepaid in accordance with Sections 2.2(c) and 2.2(d).”

2.2 Section 2.2 (Term Loans). Section 2.2(d)(ii) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“(ii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:

(I) On the Second Amendment Effective Date, Borrower shall prepay a portion of the Term Loans, payable to each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share, in an amount (such amount, the “Paydown Amount”) equal to the sum of (A) Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00) of outstanding principal of such Term Loans plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the Second Amendment Effective Date, (B) the applicable Final Payment with respect to the portion of such Term Loans being prepaid, (C) the applicable Prepayment Fee with respect to the portion of such Term Loans being prepaid, and (D) all outstanding Lenders’ Expenses as of the Second Amendment Effective Date.

(II) After the Second Amendment Effective Date, Borrower shall also have the option to prepay part of Term Loans advanced by the Lenders under this Agreement, provided Borrower (i) provides written notice to Collateral Agent of its election to prepay the Term Loans at least thirty (30) days prior to such prepayment, (ii) prepays such part of the Term Loans in a denomination that is not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) or, if in excess thereof, in integral whole number multiples of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) in excess thereof, and (iii) pays to the Lenders on the date of such prepayment, payable to each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share, an amount equal to the sum of (A) the portion of outstanding principal of such Term Loans plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the prepayment date, (B) the applicable Final Payment, (C) all other Obligations that are then due and payable, including Lenders’ Expenses and interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts, (D) the applicable Prepayment Fee with respect to the portion of such Term Loans being prepaid, and (E) a portion of any fee that would have otherwise been due pursuant to Section 2.2(d)(i); provided, further however, that, unless the Lenders have provided their prior written consent to Borrower, which may be withheld in the Lenders’ sole discretion, Borrower shall not be permitted to make more than four (4) partial prepayments in any anniversary year of the Term Loan.

2.3 Section 2.5 (Fees). New Section 2.5(d) is hereby added to the Loan Agreement to read as follows:

(d) Second Amendment Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable amendment fee in the amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) (the “Second Amendment Fee”) to be shared between the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares due and payable on the earliest to occur of (i) the Maturity Date, (ii) the acceleration of any Term Loan, and (iii) the prepayment of a Term Loan pursuant to Sections 2.2(c) or 2.2(d)(ii)(II); provided that the amount of the Second Amendment Fee payable under Section 2.2(d)(ii)(II) shall be the product of (I) the Second Amendment Fee, multipled by (II) a percentage equal to the quotient of the amount of the principal prepayment divided by Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000.00).”

2.4 Section 6.10 (Minimum Cash). Section 6.10 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
