Agreement


 


Now, Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:


 


1.           Definitions.  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement.


 


2.           Amendments to Loan Agreement.


 


2.1           New Term Loan II.  A new Section 2.1.7 is hereby added to the Loan Agreement and shall read as follows:


 


2.1.7           Term Loan II.


 


(a)           Availability.  Bank shall make one (1) term loan (the “Term Loan II”) available to Borrower in an amount up to $1,000,000 on February 27, 2013 [the date of this Amendment] subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.


 


 


(b)           Repayment.  Borrower shall repay Term Loan II in thirty-six (36) equal installments of principal plus monthly payments of accrued interest (the “Term Loan II Payment”) beginning on the first day of the month following the month in which the Funding Date of Term Loan II occurs and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter.  Borrower’s final Term Loan II Payment, due on the Term Loan II Maturity Date, shall include all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under Term Loan II.  Once repaid, Term Loan II may not be reborrowed.


 


 


(c)           Prepayment.  Borrower may, so long as an Event of Default has not occurred and is not continuing, at its option, prepay all, but not less than all, of the outstanding Term Loan II Credit Extensions, provided Borrower (A) provides written notice to Bank of its election to prepay Term Loan II at least five (5) days prior to such prepayment and (B) pays, on the date of the prepayment, the following:  (I) all accrued and unpaid interest with respect to Term Loan II through the date the prepayment is made, (II) all unpaid principal with respect to Term Loan II, (III) the Term Loan II Termination Fee and (IV) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable hereunder with respect to Term Loan II.


 


 


(d)           Term Loan II Termination Fee.  If Borrower opts to prepay Term Loan II in accordance with subclause (c) above, or Term Loan II has become due and payable according to the terms hereof because of the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay to Bank on the date that Term Loan II is prepaid or has become due and payable according to the terms hereof, in addition to any other sums owing, a termination fee equal to the following (the “Term Loan II Termination Fee”):  (i) 3.0% if Term Loan II is prepaid or becomes due and payable on or before February 28, 2014, (ii) 2.0% if Term Loan II is prepaid or becomes due and payable after February 28, 2014 but on or before February 28, 2015 and (iii) 1.0% if Term Loan II is prepaid or becomes due and payable after February 28, 2015, and such Term Loan II Termination Fee shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to the Obligations.

For the purposes hereof, “< >” denotes a negative number or loss.


 


Increases in the Minimum Tangible Net Worth based on consideration received for equity securities and subordinated debt of the Borrower shall be effective as of the end of the month in which such consideration is received, and shall continue effective thereafter. Increases in the Minimum Tangible Net Worth based on net income shall be effective on the last day of the fiscal quarter in which said net income is realized, and shall continue effective thereafter. In no event shall the Minimum Tangible Net Worth be decreased.


 


(c)           Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. A ratio of (i) Borrower’s EBITDA plus non-cash expenses less cash paid for capital expenditures less cash paid for income taxes (the “FCCR Numerator”) to (ii) consolidated Interest Expense plus scheduled principal payments (the “FCCR Denominator”) of not less than 1.50 to 1.0 (to be calculated by adding the amounts of each segment of the FCCR Numerator and FCCR Denominator for the twelve months ending on the last day of the month being measured and then calculating the ratio).


 


If Borrower fails to comply with the Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Financial Covenant, such failure will not constitute an Event of Default if all of the following occur:  (i) Borrower complies with the Liquidity Coverage Financial Covenant, (ii) Borrower complies with the Tangible Net Worth Financial Covenant and (iii) an amount equal to at least 50% of the aggregate outstanding Obligations of the Term Loan and Term Loan II is deducted from the Borrowing Base as a reserve under the Revolving Line.


 


2.4           Modified Definition of Borrowing Base.  The definition of “Borrowing Base” in Section 13.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:


 


“Borrowing Base” is (a) 80% of Eligible Accounts, as determined by Bank from Borrower’s most recent Transaction Report minus (b) 50% of the aggregate outstanding Obligations of the Term Loan and Term Loan II (provided that if the Borrower satisfies the Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Financial Covenant set forth in this Agreement and continues to satisfy such Financial Covenant at all times thereafter, then the percentage in this subclause (b) will be 0%); provided, however, that Bank may decrease the foregoing percentage in subclause (a) above in its good faith business judgment based on events, conditions, contingencies, or risks which, as determined by Bank, may adversely affect Collateral.


 


2.5           Modified Definitions Regarding the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Financial Covenant.  The following definitions are hereby modified in their entirety, or added to Section 13.1 of the Loan Agreement, and shall read as follows:

“Net Income” means, as calculated on a consolidated basis for Borrower and its Subsidiaries for any period as at any date of determination, the net profit (or loss), after provision for taxes, of Borrower and its Subsidiaries for such period taken as a single accounting period.


 


2.6           Modified Definition of Prime Rate.  The definition of “Prime Rate” in Section 13.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:


 


“Prime Rate” is the rate of interest per annum from time to time published in the money rates section of The Wall Street Journal or any successor publication thereto as the “prime rate” then in effect; provided that if such rate of interest, as set forth from time to time in the money rates section of The Wall Street Journal, becomes unavailable for any reason as determined by Bank, the “Prime Rate” shall mean the rate of interest per annum announced by Bank as its prime rate in effect at its principal office in the State of California (such Bank announced Prime Rate not being intended to be the lowest rate of interest charged by Bank in connection with extensions of credit to debtors).
