Rate (as defined herein).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is
hereby acknowledged, it is hereby agreed as follows:

 

1.           The first paragraph of Section 1.1.2 of the Loan Agreement is
hereby deleted in its entirety, and the following new first paragraph is
substituted therefor:

 

"1.1.2 Revolving Line of Credit Loan. A Revolving Line of Credit Loan, evidenced
by a Revolving Line of Credit Note dated May 1, 2014, allowing advances
aggregating not more than Four Million and 00/100 ($4,000,000.00) Dollars (the
'Line of Credit Note'). The availability of Advances under the Revolving Line of
Credit Loan shall expire on April 30, 2022, unless renewed by the Lender in
writing. Such date, as it may be so extended, is referred to as the 'Advance
Period Termination Date' upon which date all outstanding principal and unpaid
interest shall become due and payable."

 

 - 2 - 

 

 

2.           The Line of Credit Note is hereby amended to provide a LIBOR
Benchmark option for the interest rate in addition to the Lender's Prime Rate by
deleting the section entitled "Variable Rate; Payments" on Pages 1 and 2 of the
Line of Credit Note in its entirety and substituting the following therefor:

 

"Variable Rate; Payments: The unpaid principal of this Note from time to time
outstanding shall bear interest, at Borrower's election, computed on the basis
of the actual number of days elapsed over a year assumed to have three hundred
sixty (360) days, at an annual rate equal to either (i) the Lender's Prime Rate,
but in no event less than three and one-quarter of one (3.25%) percent, or (ii)
the LIBOR Benchmark Rate (as defined below), plus two and one-half of one
(2.50%) percent per annum.

 

As used herein, Lender's Prime Rate means the rate from time to time announced
and made effective by the Lender as its Prime Rate; the Prime Rate hereunder
shall change as Lender's Prime Rate changes and any such change shall be
effective on the announcement date by Lender of such change.

 

As used in this Note, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

 

'Business Day' means any day which is neither a Saturday nor Sunday nor a legal
holiday on which commercial banks are authorized or required to be closed in
Boston, Massachusetts.

 

'Interest Period' means, initially, the period commencing on December ____,
2019, and ending on December 31, 2019, and thereafter, commencing on the first
day of each month and ending on the last day of such month.

 

'LIBOR Benchmark Rate' means relative to any Interest Period, the offered rate
for delivery in two (2) London Banking Days (as defined below) of deposits of
U.S. Dollars which the ICE Benchmark Administration fixes as its LIBOR Benchmark
Rate and which is published by Bloomberg (or such other commercially available
service providing quotations of ICE LIBOR, as designated by the Lender from time
to time) as of 11:00 a.m. London time on the day on which the Interest Period
commences, and for a period approximately equal to such Interest Period. If the
first day of any Interest Period is not a day which is both a (i) Business Day,
and (ii) a day on which United States dollar deposits are transacted in the
London interbank market (a 'London Banking Day'), the LIBOR Benchmark Rate shall
be determined in reference to the next preceding day which is both a Business
Day and a London Banking Day. If for any reason the LIBOR Benchmark Rate is
unavailable and/or the Lender is unable to determine the LIBOR Benchmark Rate
for any Interest Period, the LIBOR Benchmark Rate shall be deemed to be equal to
the Bank's Prime Rate, but in no event less than three and one-quarter of one
(3.25%) percent per annum.

 

Beginning on December 31, 2019, and on the last day of each and every month
thereafter during the term of this Note, Borrower shall make payments of
interest monthly in arrears on outstanding Advances.

 

 - 3 - 

 

 

Upon the occurrence of the Advance Period Termination Date, as set forth in the
Loan and Security Agreement, or upon any Event of Default under any of the
Security Instruments, all unpaid principal and all accrued and unpaid interest
under this Note shall be immediately due and payable without presentment,
demand, protest, notice of protest or other notice of dishonor of any kind, all
of which are hereby expressly waived. No course of dealing or delay in
accelerating the maturity of this Note or in taking any other action with
respect to any Event of Default shall affect Lender's rights to take action with
respect thereto, and no waiver as to any one Event of Default shall affect any
of Lender's rights as to any other Event of Default.

 

Principal not paid when due hereunder shall bear interest at the rate set forth
above from the date due until so paid and shall be due and payable upon demand,
whether or not an Event of Default has occurred. Payments hereunder shall be
applied first to interest then due on the unpaid balance of principal and then
to such principal."

 

3.           The Loan Agreement is hereby further amended by deleting Section
1.1.3 in its entirety and substituting the following new Section 1.1.3 therefor:

 

"1.1.3 Non-Revolving Equipment Line of Credit/Demand Loan. A Non-Revolving
Equipment Line of Credit/Demand Loan evidenced by a Non-Revolving Equipment Line
of Credit/Demand Note dated December 23, 2019, allowing advances aggregating not
more than Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand ($750,000.00) Dollars (the 'Equipment
Line of Credit Note'). Subject to the demand of Lender, the availability of
credit under the Non-Revolving Equipment Line of Credit/Demand Loan shall expire
on April 30, 2022, unless renewed by Lender in writing. Such Equipment Line of
Credit Note and all Term Notes executed pursuant thereto, together are referred
to as the 'Notes', as such Notes may be modified, extended and/or amended from
time to time.

 

Borrower agrees to pay Lender all advances (each, an 'Advance'), whether
pursuant to the Notes or otherwise, all of which, together with all other
indebtedness, liabilities and commitments which Borrower owes to Lender, whether
(a) arising under this Agreement or otherwise, (b) now existing or hereafter
arising, or (c) direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, joint or several,
due or not due, are referred to as the 'Obligation(s)'.

 

All advances under the Equipment Line of Credit Note are being made upon the
terms contained in this Agreement, the Notes and any other Security Instruments
(as defined herein), the terms of which are incorporated herein.

 

No Advance under the Equipment Line of Credit shall exceed eighty (80%) percent
of the net purchase price (exclusive of any soft costs, transportation or
installation charges) of new equipment or eighty (80%) percent of the Net
Orderly Liquidation Value of used equipment. The term 'Net Orderly Liquidation
Value' or 'NOLV' means the value of equipment that is estimated to be
recoverable in an orderly liquidation of such equipment, stated at cost under a
court authorized going out of business sale, net of liquidation expenses, such
value to be as determined from time to time by Lender in its commercially
reasonable discretion or by a qualified appraisal company selected by Lender
(excluding all shipping and related soft costs) of the equipment, expenditures
or improvements referred to therein."

4.           Borrower and Guarantors confirm that the Security Instruments, as
amended by or added to in connection with this Agreement, constitute the valid
and enforceable obligations of Borrower and Guarantors, and that neither
Borrower nor Guarantors has any existing claims, defenses or rights of setoff
with respect thereto.

 

5.           Borrower and Guarantors hereby warrant and represent that the
statements set forth in the recitals above are true and correct, and that all
representations and warranties made by Borrower and Guarantors in the Security
Instruments continue to be true and correct in all material respects.

 

6.           It is further agreed that this Agreement shall not, in any manner,
release, relinquish, or otherwise affect the liens, security interests, and
rights created by or arising under the Security Instruments or its priority over
other liens, charges, or encumbrances affecting the Collateral referred to
therein (except by extending such lien to secure, inter alia, any and all new
obligations created hereby and pursuant to the Equipment Line of Credit Note and
the Term Note) or Borrower’s or Guarantors' liability thereunder; and all other
terms, conditions and covenants therein contained which are not hereby amended,
are hereby ratified and confirmed as previously written.

 

7.           Borrower and Guarantors hereby acknowledge that there are and were
no oral or written representations, warranties, understandings, stipulations,
agreements or promises made by any party or by any agent, employee or other
representative of any party, pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement
which have not been incorporated herein. No express or implied consent to any
further modifications involving any of the matters set forth in the Security
Instruments or herein shall be inferred or implied by Lender's execution of this
Agreement. Any further modification of the Loan Agreement shall require the
express written approval of Lender. No provision hereof shall be modified or
limited except by a written instrument signed by the parties hereto, expressly
referring hereto and to the provision so modified or limited.
