2.1 Commitments; Making of Loans and Letters of Credit; the Register; Note .

A. Commitments and Loans . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of Borrower set forth in this Agreement and in the Loan Documents, each Lender severally agrees to make Loans to Borrower and to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower from time to time during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date, in an aggregate amount outstanding at any time not exceeding its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the Commitments, to be used for the purposes identified in Section 5.12. The original amount of each Lender’s Commitment is set forth opposite its name on Schedule “1” annexed hereto, and the aggregate original amount of the Commitments is $30,000,000.00; provided that the individual Commitment of each Lender shall be adjusted to give effect to any assignments of the Commitments pursuant to subsection 9.1B; and provided , further that the amount of the Commitments shall be reduced from time to time by the amount of any reductions thereto made pursuant to subsection 2.4A(ii). Each Lender’s Commitment shall expire on the Termination Date, and all Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Loans and with respect to the Commitment of such Lender, shall be paid in full no later than the Termination Date. Subject to the provisions of Section 7, amounts borrowed under this subsection 2.1A may be repaid and re-borrowed to but excluding the Termination Date.

Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Loans and the Commitments shall be subject to the limitation that in no event shall the Principal Balance at any time exceed the total Commitments then in effect. All Loans shall be denominated and funded in Dollars.

B. Borrowing Mechanics .

Loans. Loans made on any Funding Date shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $250,000.00 and integral multiples of $100,000.00. Whenever Borrower desires that Lenders make Loans, Borrower shall deliver to Agent a Notice of Borrowing, no later than 10:00 a.m.(Hawaii time) at least two Business Days in advance of the proposed Funding Date in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan, and at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed Funding Date in the case of a Base Rate Loan. LIBOR Rate Loans may not be borrowed on the Effective Date unless the Borrower shall have entered into a Special Funding Procedures Letter Agreement with Agent and Lenders on or prior to the date that is two Business Days before the Effective Date. Loans may be continued as or converted into Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Rate Loans in the manner provided in subsection 2.2D. In lieu of delivering the above-described Notice of Borrowing, Borrower may give Agent telephonic notice by the required time of any proposed borrowing under this subsection 2.1B, provided, that such notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of a Notice of Borrowing to Agent on or before the applicable Funding Date.

(i) General Provisions Relating to Borrowing . Neither Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to Borrower for acting in accordance with this subsection 2.1B, or in accordance with instructions given pursuant to this subsection 2.1B, and upon funding of Loans by Lenders in accordance with this Agreement, Borrower shall have effected the Loans hereunder.

Borrower shall notify Agent prior to the funding of any Loan in the event that any of the matters to which Borrower is required to certify in the applicable Notice of Borrowing is no longer true and correct as of the applicable Funding Date, and the acceptance by Borrower of the proceeds of any Loans shall constitute a re-certification by Borrower, as of the applicable Funding Date, as to the matters to which Borrower is required to certify in the applicable Notice of Borrowing.

Except as otherwise provided in subsections 2.5B, 2.5C and 2.5G, a Notice of Borrowing for a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and Borrower shall be bound to make a borrowing in accordance therewith.

C. Disbursement of Funds .

(i) Funding of Loans . All Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares. Promptly after receipt by Agent of a Notice of Borrowing, Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed borrowing. Each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to Agent, in Dollars and same day funds, at the Agent’s Funding and Payment Office not later than 10:00 a.m., (Hawaii time) on the applicable Funding Date.

(ii) Disbursement of Loan Proceeds by Agent . Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified in subsections 4.1 (in the case of Loans made on the Effective Date) and 4.2 (in the case of all Loans), Agent shall make the proceeds of such Loans available to Borrower no later than 1:00 p.m. (Hawaii time) on the applicable Funding Date by

causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars, equal to the proceeds of all such Loans received by Agent from Lenders, to be credited to an account of Borrower at the Agent’s Funding and Payment Office or to be wired to such account with another financial institution as Borrower may specify in writing to Agent, as applicable.

(iii) Agent May Advance Funds; Failure of Lender to Fund Loan . Unless Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to a requested Funding Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to Agent the Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Loan, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made or will make its Pro Rata Share of the requested Loan available to Agent on the requested Funding Date. The Agent may in its sole discretion and in reliance upon such assumption make available to Borrower on the Funding Date a corresponding amount. If a Lender does not make available to the Agent the full amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Loan required to be funded on the requested Funding Date, the Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, advance such corresponding amount, and accrue interest thereon for Agent’s own account at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such principal amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such principal amount (together with accrued interest) is repaid by such Lender or Borrower, as provided below, to the Agent. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement requiring the pro rata repayment of amounts owing to Lenders hereunder, if Agent has made an advance in respect of another Lender’s Commitment in accordance with this subsection 2.1C(iii) and such Lender does not reimburse the amount of such advance with interest at the Federal Funds Rate immediately upon the Agent’s demand therefor, all payments in respect of principal received by Agent from Borrower shall be paid to Agent to reduce such amounts owing to Agent by such Lender until Agent has been reimbursed in full; provided that if the making of such advance by Agent causes the aggregate principal balance of Loans extended by Agent hereunder, in either its capacity as Agent or as a Lender, to exceed Agent’s Commitment as a Lender, Agent shall notify Borrower and Borrower shall, within two (2) days after such notice pay the principal amount of such excess to Agent with interest thereon at the applicable interest rate otherwise payable by Borrower hereunder.

(iv) Failure of Lender to Fund Letters of Credit . Unless Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date payment is required on a Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement, that such Lender does not intend to make available to Agent the Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of such Letter of Credit, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made or will make its Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit available to Agent on the date the Letter of Credit is presented to Agent for payment. The Agent shall, in reliance upon such assumption, make payment on such Letter of Credit. If a Lender does not make available to the Agent the full amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Letter of Credit when payment is required from Agent as the issuing bank, the Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, advance such corresponding amount and accrue interest thereon for Agent’s own account at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day from the date such principal amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such principal amount (together with accrued interest) is repaid by such Lender or Borrower, as provided below, to the Agent. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement requiring the pro rata repayment of amounts owing to Lenders hereunder, if Agent has made payment on a Letter of Credit in respect of another Lender’s Commitment in accordance with this subsection 2.1C(iv) and such Lender does not reimburse the amount of such payment with interest at the Federal Funds Rate immediately upon the Agent’s demand therefor, all principal payments made by Borrower to Agent shall be paid to Agent to reduce such amounts owing to Agent by such Lender until Agent has been reimbursed in full; provided that if the payment of a Letter of Credit by Agent causes the aggregate principal balance of Letters of Credit extended by Agent hereunder, in either its capacity as Agent or as a Lender, to exceed Agent’s Commitment as a Lender, Agent shall notify Borrower and Borrower shall, within two (2) days after such notice pay the principal amount of such excess to Agent with interest thereon at the applicable interest rate otherwise payable by Borrower hereunder.

(v) Several Obligations of Lenders . No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder nor shall the Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a

default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligation to fund its Pro Rata Share of a Loan or Letter of Credit requested hereunder. The failure of any Lender to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Loan or Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to fulfill its Commitment to fund its Pro Rata Share as and when required under this Agreement, but no Lender shall be responsible for any such failure of any other Lender. The Borrower shall be entitled to exercise any rights and remedies it may have at law or in equity against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender under this Agreement.

(vi) Defaulting Lenders .

(a) In the event that, at any time (other than during a period when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) a Lender fails or refuses to fund its Pro Rata Share as required under this Agreement, such Lender, after two (2) Business Days from the date it failed to fund its Pro Rata Share, shall be deemed to be a “ Defaulting Lender ”. Until such time as a Defaulting Lender has funded its Pro Rata Share (which late funding shall not absolve such Defaulting Lender from any liability it may have), the Defaulting Lender shall not have the right to vote regarding or to approve any issue on which voting or approval is required or advisable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the amount of the Pro Rata Share of such Lender shall not be counted as outstanding for purposes of determining any matters or actions as to which such Lender would otherwise be entitled to vote or to direct the Agent to act on its behalf under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. In addition, Agent shall not transfer to any Defaulting Lender, any payments (including principal, interest, Unused Commitment Fee, Letter of Credit Fees and other fees) made by or for Borrower to Agent or otherwise received by Agent, for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to any sharing in such payments. All of such payments shall instead be payable to and retained by Agent and applied to repay principal, interest, fees and related obligations in respect of advances made by Agent under Section 2.1 C (iii) and (iv) above related to such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share. Agent shall hold and relend to Borrower the amount of any such payments paid to or retained by Agent.

(b) Without prejudice to the survival of any other remedies against a Defaulting Lender, if a Defaulting Lender fails to make available to the Agent the full amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Loan or Letter of Credit required to be made hereunder within five (5) Business Days after the date on which such Defaulting Lender was required to fund, the Borrower or the Agent may require that such Lender transfer, and if so required, the Defaulting Lender shall transfer, all of its right, title and interest under this Agreement and each other Loan Document to Agent or to a Eligible Assignee identified by the Borrower or by the Agent (with the consent of the Borrower), subject to the following:

(i) such proposed Eligible Assignee shall agree to assume all of the obligations of the transferor Lender under the Loan Documents, for consideration equal to the outstanding principal of such transferor Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Loans or Letters of Credit, together with interest thereon to the date of such transfer;

(ii) satisfactory arrangements shall be made for payment to such transferor Lender of all other amounts payable hereunder, provided that, in the event that any transfer is made pursuant to this subparagraph 2.1C(vi), the Agent shall be entitled to an amount equal to $3,000.00 payable by the transferor Lender, which shall be deducted from the consideration payable to the transferor Lender by the Eligible Assignee and shall be paid by the Eligible Assignee to Agent; and

(iii) the transferor Lender agrees to pay the Eligible Assignee the Eligible Assignee’s Pro Rata Share of fees which the transferor Lender has received related to this Agreement, pro rated through the date of transfer. This Pro Rata Share of the fees may be deducted from the consideration payable to the transferor Lender by the Eligible Assignee.

(iv) Other than as expressly set forth herein, the rights and obligations of a Defaulting Lender (including the obligation to indemnify Agent) and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged. Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to release any Defaulting Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the Loan Documents, shall alter such obligations, shall operate as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or shall prejudice any rights which Borrower, Agent or any other Lender may have against any Defaulting Lender as a result of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder.

(c) In the event a Defaulting Lender cures to the satisfaction of Agent and to the reasonable satisfaction of Borrower all outstanding breaches which caused such Lender to become a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall no longer be a Defaulting Lender and shall be treated as a Lender under this Agreement.

D. The Register .

(i) Agent shall maintain, at its address referred to in subsection 9.8, a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders, and the Commitment and Loans of each Lender, from time to time (the “ Register ”). The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(ii) Agent shall record in the Register each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest or demonstrable error; provided that failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect Borrower’s Obligations in respect of the applicable Loans.

(iii) Each Lender shall record on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower and such Lender, absent manifest or demonstrable error; provided that failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect Borrower’s Obligations in respect of the applicable Loans; and provided, further that in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.

(iv) Borrower, Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Commitment or Loan shall be effective, in either case, unless and until an Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been accepted by Agent and recorded in the Register as provided in subsection 9.1B(ii). Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Commitment or Loan shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the Commitment or Loan.

(v) Borrower hereby designates Agent to serve as Borrower’s agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this subsection 2.1D, and Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent Agent serves in such capacity, Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates shall constitute Indemnitees for all purposes under subsection 9.3. This subsection 2D shall be construed so that the Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2), and 881(c)(2) of the Code.

E. Reserved .

F. Letters of Credit; and Letter of Credit Fee .

The expiry date of any Letter of Credit shall be no later than one (1) year after the Termination Date; provided, however, that if the expiry date for any Letter of Credit is a date after the Termination Date, the Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days prior to the Termination Date, deposit with the Lender cash or cash equivalents to fully secure the repayment of any such Letter of Credit upon negotiation thereof. The minimum amount of any Letter of Credit shall be $100,000.00. The aggregate amount of all Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at any one time under the Revolving Commitment may not exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00), and the amount of the Revolving Commitment available to the Borrower for Loans shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of all Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at any one time. In addition to the Letter of Credit Fee payable by the Borrower as described in Section 2.1 F(ii) below, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender, for the Lender’s own account, the Lender’s standard issuance, drawing, amendment and negotiation fees. Upon the negotiation of any Letter of Credit and the payment by the Lender of the amount drawn thereunder, the amount so drawn shall become and be deemed part of the Principal Balance, unless and until such amount is reimbursed by Borrower. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, the full amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall become and be part of the Principal Balance, as provided in Section 7 of this Agreement. The Letters of Credit shall be issued for general corporate purposes, consistent with the Borrower’s business operations, and for such other purposes as the Lender may approve.

(ii) The Letter of Credit Fee for each Letter of Credit issued by the Lender for the account of the Borrower hereunder shall be calculated based on the Applicable LIBOR Margin set forth in the Interest Rate Matrix; provided, however, that if the Borrower chooses to fully collateralize a Letter of Credit by depositing with the Lender, upon the issuance thereof, cash in the amount of 100% of the notional amount of such Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Fee for such fully collateralized Letter of Credit shall be one and one-half percent (1.50%) of the notional amount of such Letter of Credit. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, quarterly in arrears, on the 90 th , 180 th , 270 th and 360 th days after issuance of each outstanding Letter of Credit, one-fourth of the Letter of Credit Fee for such Letter of Credit.

2.2 Interest on the Loans.

A. Rate of Interest .

(i) Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate determined by reference to the Base Rate or the Adjusted LIBOR Rate. The applicable basis for determining the rate of interest on Loans shall be selected by Borrower at the time Borrower submits a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to subsection 2.1B of this Agreement, or a Notice of Conversion is given pursuant subsection 2.2D. If on any date a Loan is outstanding with respect to which notice has not been delivered to Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement specifying the basis for determining the rate of interest, then that Loan shall continue to bear interest on the same basis for determining the rate of interest that was in effect during the prior period for that particular Loan; provided that if such period would extend beyond the Termination Date, such Loan shall nevertheless mature on the Termination Date, and shall also be subject to the provisions of subsection 2.5D.

(ii) Subject to the provisions of subsections 2.2E and 3.1, Loans shall bear interest as follows:

(a) Whenever the Borrower selects or is deemed to have selected a Base Rate Loan, interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of the Loan, at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Base Rate, plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin. The Applicable Base Rate Margin shall be calculated by Agent in reference to the Consolidated Funded Debt to Consolidated EBITDA ratio in effect on the Interest Rate Determination Date; provided however that during any Interest Period, the Applicable Base Rate Margin shall be adjusted to reflect the Consolidated Funded Debt to Consolidated EBITDA ratio last reported by Borrower, and such adjustment shall be effective on the first Business Day following delivery of such report.

(b) Whenever the Borrower selects a LIBOR Rate Loan, interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of the Loan, for the Interest Period selected by Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion, at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period, plus the Applicable LIBOR Rate Margin. The Applicable LIBOR Rate Margin shall be calculated by Agent in reference to the Consolidated Funded Debt to Consolidated EBITDA ratio in effect on the Interest Rate Determination Date; provided however that during any Interest Period, the Applicable LIBOR Rate Margin shall be adjusted to reflect the Consolidated Funded Debt to Consolidated EBITDA ratio last reported by Borrower, and such adjustment shall be effective on the first Business Day following delivery of such report.

B. Interest Periods . In connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan, Borrower may, pursuant to the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion, as the case may be, select an interest period (each an “Interest Period”) to be applicable to such Loan, which Interest Period shall be, at Borrower’s option, either a one, two, three or six month period; provided that:

(i) the initial Interest Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan shall commence on the Funding Date in respect of such Loan, in the case of a Loan initially made as a LIBOR Rate Loan, or on the date specified in the applicable Notice of Conversion, in the case of a Loan converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan;

(ii) in the case of immediately successive Interest Periods applicable to a LIBOR Rate Loan continued as such pursuant to a Notice of Conversion, each successive Interest Period shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

(iii) if an Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided that, if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

(iv) any Interest Period that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall, subject to clause (v) of this subsection 2.2B, end on the last Business Day of a calendar month;

(v) no Interest Period with respect to any portion of the Loans shall extend beyond the Termination Date;

(vi) there shall be no more than four (4) LIBOR Interest Periods outstanding at any time; and

(vii) in the event Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan in a Notice of Borrowing, or if Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan in a Notice of Conversion, Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month therefor; and if Borrower fails to deliver a Notice of Conversion for a LIBOR Rate Loan at the end of the Interest Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan, Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of the same duration as the prior Interest Period; provided that if such Interest Period would extend beyond the Termination Date, such LIBOR Rate Loan shall nevertheless mature on the Termination Date, and shall also be subject to the provisions of subsection 2.5D.

C. Interest Payments; Payment Currency . Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.2E, interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears (i) on and to each Interest Payment Date applicable to that Loan, (ii) upon any prepayment of that Loan (to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid) and (iii) at maturity (including final maturity). Interest in respect of all Loans shall accrue and be paid in Dollars.

D. Conversion or Continuation . Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.5, Borrower shall have the option to continue or to convert any or all outstanding Loans from one type of Loan to another type of Loan; provided (a) conversions of LIBOR Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans shall be subject to the provisions of subsection 2.5D; and (b) no Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. A Base Rate Loan shall continue as a Base Rate Loan until converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan, or until such Loan is paid in full or matures. A LIBOR Rate Loan shall continue as a LIBOR Rate Loan until converted to a Base Rate Loan, or until such Loan is paid in full or matures. If Borrower wishes to convert a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, or to convert a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, or to change the Interest Period for a LIBOR Rate Loan as of the end of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Loan, Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Conversion to Agent no later than 2:00 p.m. (Hawaii time) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion date. A Notice of Conversion shall specify (i) the date of

the proposed conversion (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the amount and type of the Loan to be converted, (iii) the nature of the proposed conversion, (iv) in the case of a conversion to a LIBOR Rate Loan, or a change in the Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Loan, the requested Interest Period, and (v) in the case of a conversion to a LIBOR Rate Loan, that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. In lieu of delivering the above-described Notice of Conversion, Borrower may give Agent telephonic notice by the required time of any proposed conversion under this subsection 2.2D; provided that such notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of a Notice of Conversion to Agent on or before the proposed conversion date.

Neither Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to Borrower for acting in accordance with this subsection 2.2D, or in accordance with instructions given pursuant to this subsection 2.2D, and upon conversion of the applicable basis for determining the interest rate with respect to any Loans in accordance with this Agreement, Borrower shall have effected a conversion hereunder.

Except as otherwise provided in subsections 2.5B, 2.5C and 2.5G, a Notice of Conversion for conversion to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and Borrower shall be bound to effect a conversion in accordance therewith unless Borrower pays to Lenders such amounts as may be due under subsection 2.5D for failure of a conversion to any LIBOR Rate Loan to occur on the date specified therefor in the Notice of Conversion.
