1.     Recitals.  This Amendment shall constitute a Financing Document and the Recitals set forth above shall be construed as part of this Amendment as if set forth fully in the body of this Amendment.


 


2.     Amendment to Credit Agreement.     


 


(a)     Section 1.1 – Definitions of Commitment Expiry Date and Revolving Loan Commitment Amount. The defined terms “Commitment Expiry Date” and “Revolving Loan Commitment Amount” in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement are hereby amended and restated, respectively, in their entirety as follows:


 


“Commitment Expiry Date” means April 22, 2019.


 


“Revolving Loan Commitment Amount” means, as to any Lender, the dollar amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name on the Commitment Annex under the column “Revolving Loan Commitment Amount” (if such Lender’s name is not so set forth thereon, then the dollar amount on the Commitment Annex for the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount for such Lender shall be deemed to be $0), as such amount may be adjusted from time to time (a) by any amounts assigned (with respect to such Lender’s portion of Revolving Loans outstanding and its commitment to make Revolving Loans) pursuant to the terms of any and all effective assignment agreements to which such Lender is a party, and (b) any Additional Tranche(s) activated by Borrowers. For the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment Amount of all Lenders on the Sixteenth Amendment Closing Date shall be $5,000,000 and if the Additional Tranche is fully activated by Borrowers pursuant to the terms of the Agreement such amount shall increase to $8,000,000.


 



 




 




 


(b)     Section 1.1 – New Defined Term. Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add the defined term “Sixteenth Amendment Closing Date” in its alphabetical order as follows:


 


“Sixteenth Amendment Closing Date” means January 22, 2019.


 


(c)     Annex A. Annex A to the Credit Agreement containing the Commitment Annex is hereby amended and restated as set forth on Exhibit A attached to and made a part of this Amendment.


 


3.     Confirmation of Representations and Warranties; Reaffirmation of Security Interest.  Each Borrower hereby (a) confirms that all of the representations and warranties set forth in the Credit Agreement are, after giving effect to this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby, true and correct with respect to such Borrower as of the date hereof to the same extent as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, and (b) covenants to perform its respective obligations under the Credit Agreement. Each Borrower confirms and agrees that all security interests and Liens granted to Agent continue in full force and effect, and all Collateral remains free and clear of any Liens, other than those granted to Agent and Permitted Liens. Nothing herein is intended to impair or limit the validity, priority or extent of Agent’s security interests in and Liens on the Collateral. 


 


4.     Enforceability.  This Amendment constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Borrower, and is enforceable against each of the Borrowers in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles.


 


5.      Costs and Fees. In consideration of Agent’s agreement to enter into this Amendment, Borrower shall pay to Agent a modification fee equal to Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00) (the “Modification Fee”). The Modification Fee shall be fully earned upon the execution of this Amendment, provided that if the Agent, Lenders and Borrowers, prior to the current maturity of April 22, 2019, agree to and enter into an amendment to the Credit Agreement extending the Commitment Expiry Date to January 22, 2022 or beyond, the Modification Fee will be applied as a credit towards the long-term extension fee to be charged equal to one percent (1%) of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount in effect as of the date of such amendment. Furthermore, Borrowers shall be responsible for the payment of all reasonable costs and fees of Agent’s counsel incurred in connection with the preparation of this Amendment and any related documents. If Agent or any Lender uses in-house counsel for any of these purposes, Borrowers further agree that the Obligations include reasonable charges for such work commensurate with the fees that would otherwise be charged by outside legal counsel selected by Agent or such Lender for the work performed. Borrowers hereby authorize Agent to deduct all of such fees set forth in this Section 5 from the proceeds of one or more Revolving Loans made under the Credit Agreement.

(a)     Borrowers shall have delivered to Agent this Amendment, duly executed by an authorized officer of each Borrower;

Each Borrower acknowledges that the foregoing release is a material inducement to Agent’s and Lender’s decision to enter into this Amendment and to agree to the modifications contemplated hereunder.


 


8.     No Waiver or Novation. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of Agent, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement, the Financing Documents or any other documents, instruments and agreements executed or delivered in connection with any of the foregoing.
