Among other changes to the Credit and Security Agreement by and between Borrowers and Regions Bank, dated March 13, 2006 (the “Credit Agreement”), the Third Amendment deletes all references to Wachovia Bank, National Association as a lender, releases all foreign accounts as collateral, increases the aggregate amount available under the credit facility from $7.5 million to $8.5 million and extends the credit facility termination date from December 1, 2007 to December 1, 2008. The remaining terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment to Credit and Security Agreement dated September 26, 2006, pursuant to which Borrowers added Wachovia Bank as Lender, and the Second Amendment to Credit and Security Agreement dated December 8, 2006, pursuant to which the aggregate amount available under Borrowers’ revolving credit facility was increased from $5.5 million to $7.5 million, are unchanged.
     In connection with the Third Amendment, the Borrowers executed an Amended and Restated Revolving Note in favor of Regions Bank in the principal amount of $8,500,000 (the “Amended Note”), which is dated June 7, 2007. The Amended Note has a maturity date of December 1, 2008 and variable interest rates of the prime lending rate or LIBOR, at the Borrowers’ option.
