ARTICLE II 
 REGISTRATION RIGHTS

 Section 2.1    Registrable Securities. Any Registrable Security will cease to be a Registrable Security
(i) upon the sale or disposition of such Registrable Security by such Holder pursuant to a Registration Statement, (ii) when Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision) is available for the sale or disposition of such
Registrable Security or (iii) when such Registrable Security shall have ceased to be outstanding. 

Section 2.2    Shelf Registration. At any time Member owns any Registrable Securities following the date that
is two years after the Closing Date, Member may send a written request to Acquiror to register any Registrable Securities, and upon receipt of such written request, Acquiror shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, prepare and file a Shelf
Registration Statement, and Acquiror shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable after filing. A Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to this
Section 2.2 shall be on such appropriate registration form of the SEC as shall be selected by the Acquiror in its sole discretion. Acquiror will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registration
Statement to be continuously effective under the Securities Act until all Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have either been distributed in the manner set forth and as contemplated in the Shelf Registration Statement
or ceased to be Registrable Securities. 
 Section 2.3    Delay Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, Acquiror may, upon written notice to Member, cease the preparation and filing of the Shelf Registration Statement described in Section 2.2 or suspend Member’s use of any prospectus which is a
part of the Shelf Registration Statement (in which event Member shall discontinue sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement), in each case, if (i) there is or is reasonably anticipated to be an
acquisition, merger, financing activity, reorganization, disposition or other transaction involving Acquiror or any of its Subsidiaries and Acquiror determines in good faith that the ability of Acquiror or any of its Subsidiaries to pursue or
consummate such a transaction would be materially adversely affected by any required disclosure of such transaction in the Shelf Registration Statement, (ii) Acquiror has experienced, or reasonably expects to experience, some other material non-public event the disclosure of which at 

  
 3 

 
such time, as determined by Acquiror, would materially adversely affect Acquiror or its business prospects, (iii) for reasons beyond Acquiror’s control, any financial statements
required to be included in the Shelf Registration Statement are unavailable or (iv) Acquiror is required under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to file with the SEC any report or other document necessitating a post-effective amendment to
the Shelf Registration Statement (in which case Acquiror will file the post-effective amendment as promptly as practicable). Upon the disclosure of such information, the termination of the condition described above or the effectiveness of such
post-effective amendment, Acquiror shall provide notice to Member, and shall, as applicable, resume its obligations set forth in Section 2.2 or terminate any suspension of sales it has put into effect and take such other
actions reasonably necessary to permit registered sales of Registrable Securities as contemplated in this Agreement.    Under no circumstances (a) will a suspension of the Shelf Registration Statement continue for more than
90 days, or (b) will there be more than two suspensions in any twelve month period, except in either case as a result of circumstances or events that are totally beyond Acquiror’s control. 

ARTICLE III 
 ACQUISITIONS OF
SECURITIES AND STANDSTILL 
 Section 3.1    Limitation on Share Acquisition and Ownership. 

(a)    From and after the Closing and until the date on which Parent, Member and their Affiliates, in the aggregate, no
longer are the Beneficial Owners of more than 1% of the outstanding Voting Securities, except with the prior consent of the Acquiror’s Board of Directors and except as provided under the Earnout Agreement, each of Member and Parent shall not,
and shall cause their Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, acquire, offer, seek or propose to acquire, or agree to acquire, by purchase or otherwise (but excluding as a result of any action by the Company such as a stock dividend), Beneficial
Ownership of any Voting Securities or other equity securities issued by the Acquiror, or any rights, options or other derivative securities or contracts or instruments to acquire such ownership that derive their value primarily from the value of
Voting Securities (whether currently, upon lapse of time, following the satisfaction of any conditions, upon the occurrence of any event or any combination of the foregoing); provided that the foregoing shall not restrict Parent, Member or an
Affiliate from acquiring interests in a fund or other entity so long as the aggregate amount of Voting Securities held by such funds or other entities that, to the Member’s knowledge, is no greater than 1% of the total outstanding Voting
Securities. 
 (b)    From and after the Closing and until the date on which Parent, Member and their Affiliates, in
the aggregate, no longer are the Beneficial Owners of more than 1% of the outstanding Voting Securities, if Acquiror or any of its Subsidiaries repurchases, redeems or buys back any shares of Voting Securities for a price that is at least 95% of the
market price of Voting Securities at the time of the repurchase, redemption or other buy back and following such transaction, each of Member, Parent and any of their Affiliates’ ownership of Voting Securities, in the aggregate, would exceed the
Cap, such parties shall participate in such transaction if offered the opportunity to do so to the extent necessary so that their ownership of Voting Securities, in the aggregate, will not exceed the Cap following the repurchase, redemption or other
buyback.

seeking to elect directors not nominated by the Board of Directors, or publicly announce an intention to vote with any Person undertaking a “solicitation”, or seek to advise or influence any Person or 13D Group with respect to the voting
of any Voting Securities in favor of election of directors not nominated by the Board of Directors; 
 (d)    deposit
any Voting Securities in any voting trust or similar arrangement that would prevent or materially interfere with Parent or Member’s right or ability to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement; 

(e)    submit any matter to (or propose any matter for submission to) a vote of stockholders of Acquiror (pursuant to
Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or otherwise) or bring any other business before a meeting of the stockholders of Acquiror; 

(f)    initiate, encourage or participate in any solicitation of proxies in respect of any stockholder proposal for
consideration at, or bring any other business before, any meeting of the Company’s stockholders; grant any proxies with respect to Voting Securities to any Person (other than to (i) an officer or other representative of Member or Parent,
or (ii) a designated representative of Acquiror pursuant to a proxy statement of Acquiror); 
 (g)    initiate,
encourage or participate in any “withhold” or similar campaign with respect to any meeting of the stockholders of Acquiror or any solicitation of written consents of the stockholders of Acquiror; 

(h)    request, or initiate, encourage or participate in, any request to call a special meeting of the stockholders of
Acquiror; 
 (i)    seek, alone or in concert with others, to amend any provision of Acquiror’s certificate of

 5 

 
management or policies of Acquiror or any of its Subsidiaries (other than consultations with, notifications to, or other communications with, the management of Acquiror in the ordinary course of
business regarding business relationships between Parent or its Affiliates and Acquiror and its Affiliates) and not relating to the ownership or control of Acquiror; 

(l)    offer or propose to acquire or agree to acquire (or request permission to do so), whether by joining or
participating in a 13D Group or otherwise, Beneficial Ownership of Voting Securities in excess of the Cap; 

(m)    enter into discussions, negotiations, arrangements or understandings advise, assist or encourage any Person with
respect to any of the actions prohibited by Section 3.1 or this Section 3.2; 

(n)    enter into any transaction the effect of which would be to “short” any securities of Acquiror;

(iii) Member, Parent or any of their Affiliates from selling Acquiror Common Stock in connection with a tender or exchange offer for at least 50.1% of the Acquiror Common Stock commenced by a third party (and not involving any breach by Parent
or Member of Section 3.2) which tender or exchange offer, if consummated, would constitute a change of control of Acquiror or (iv) Parent, through a senior executive officer, from confidentially communicating to a
senior executive officer of Acquiror a non-public proposal regarding the purchase of additional securities of Acquiror in such a manner as would not reasonably be expected to require public disclosure
(including by requiring a filing with the Securities Exchange Commission, Department of Justice or Federal Trade Commission) by either party. Member and Parent hereby confirm that there are no arrangements or understandings to which it is a party
concerning stock of Acquiror, except agreements to which Acquiror or a subsidiary is a party. 

Section 3.3    Voting as a Stockholder. From and after the Closing, each of Parent and Member shall, and shall

Section 6.1    Amendments; Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended, altered or modified except by written

(a)    This Agreement, and all claims, disputes, controversies or causes of action (whether in contract, tort, equity or
otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement (including any schedule or exhibit hereto) or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim, dispute, controversy or cause of action based
upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement) shall be governed by and construed in all respects, including as to validity,
interpretation and effect, by the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would permit or require the application of
the Laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. 
 (b)    Each of the Parties hereto irrevocably and
unconditionally submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (unless the Delaware Court of Chancery shall decline to accept jurisdiction over a
particular matter, in which case any Delaware state court or any federal court within the State of Delaware may take jurisdiction), in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, agrees that all claims under any
theory of liability in respect of such suit, action or proceeding may and shall be heard and determined in any such court and agrees not to bring any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Each
Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any defense of inconvenient forum or any other objection to the maintenance of any suit, action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other
Party with respect thereto. Each Party agrees that service of summons and complaint or any other process that might be served in any such suit, action or proceeding may be made on such Party, and shall be effective service of process for any such
suit, action or proceeding, by sending or delivering a copy of any such process to the Party to be served at the address of the Party and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 6.5. Nothing in this
Section 6.6, however, shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law. Each Party agrees that a final, non-appealable judgment in any
suit, claim, demand, action, proceeding or cause of action so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. 

Section 6.7    Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not
constitute a part of this Agreement, nor shall they affect its meaning, construction or effect. 

Section 6.8    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall
be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement, it being understood that it is not necessary that all of the Parties sign the same counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page of this
Agreement by electronic image scan transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

Section 6.9    Remedies    In the event of a breach or a threatened breach by any Party to
this Agreement of its obligations under this Agreement, any party injured or to be injured by such breach shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement or to injunctive relief, in addition to being entitled to exercise
all rights provided in this Agreement and granted by 

  
 10 

 
law, it being agreed by the Parties that the remedy at law, including monetary damages, for breach of any such provision will be inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense or
objection in any action for specific performance or injunctive relief for which a remedy at Law would be adequate is waived. 

Section 6.10    Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY

Exhibit 10.1

 

	Fifth Amendment to Loan Documents	
			

			

 

 

THIS FIFTH AMENDMENT TO LOAN DOCUMENTS (this “Amendment”), dated as of March 30, 2021 (“Effective Date”), by and between LSI INDUSTRIES INC., an Ohio corporation (the “Borrower”), and PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (the “Bank”).

 

BACKGROUND

 

A.         The Borrower has executed and delivered to the Bank one or more promissory notes, loan agreements, security agreements, mortgages, pledge agreements, collateral assignments, and other agreements, instruments, certificates and documents, some or all of which are more fully described on the attached Exhibit A, which is made a part of this Amendment (collectively as amended from time to time, the “Loan Documents”) which evidence or secure some or all of the Borrower’s obligations to the Bank for one or more loans or other extensions of credit (the “Obligations”).

 

B.         The Borrower and the Bank desire to amend the Loan Documents as provided for in this Amendment.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.         Certain of the Loan Documents are amended as set forth in Exhibit A. Any and all references to any Loan Document in any other Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such Loan Document as amended by this Amendment. This Amendment is deemed incorporated into each of the Loan Documents. Any initially capitalized terms used in this Amendment without definition shall have the meanings assigned to those terms in the Loan Documents. To the extent that any term or provision of this Amendment is or may be inconsistent with any term or provision in any Loan Document, the terms and provisions of this Amendment shall control.

 

2.         The Borrower hereby certifies that: (a) all of its representations and warranties in the Loan Documents, as amended by this Amendment, are, except as may otherwise be stated in this Amendment: (i) true and correct as of the date of this Amendment, (ii) ratified and confirmed without condition as if made anew, and (iii) incorporated into this Amendment by reference, (b) no Event of Default or event which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default, exists under any Loan Document which will not be cured by the execution and effectiveness of this Amendment, (c) no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration or filing with, any third party is required in connection with the execution, delivery and carrying out of this Amendment or, if required, has been obtained, and (d) this Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered so that it constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms. The Borrower confirms that the Obligations remain outstanding without defense, set off, counterclaim, discount or charge of any kind as of the date of this Amendment.

 

3.         The Borrower hereby confirms that any collateral for the Obligations, including liens, security interests, mortgages, and pledges granted by the Borrower or third parties (if applicable), shall continue unimpaired and in full force and effect, and shall cover and secure all of the Borrower’s existing and future Obligations to the Bank, as modified by this Amendment.

 

4.         As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Amendment, the Borrower shall comply with the terms and conditions (if any) specified in Exhibit A.

 

 

 

 

5.         To induce the Bank to enter into this Amendment, the Borrower waives and releases and forever discharges the Bank and its officers, directors, attorneys, agents, and employees from any liability, damage, claim, loss or expense of any kind that it may have against the Bank or any of them arising out of or relating to the Obligations as of the date hereof. The Borrower further agrees to indemnify and hold the Bank and its officers, directors, attorneys, agents and employees harmless from any loss, damage, judgment, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) suffered by or rendered against the Bank or any of the other indemnified parties on account of any claims arising out of or relating to the Obligations as of the date hereof. The Borrower further states that it has carefully read the foregoing release and indemnity, knows the contents thereof, and grants the same as its own free act and deed.

 

6.         This Amendment may be signed in any number of counterpart copies and by the parties to this Amendment on separate counterparts, but all such copies shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart. Upon written request by the other party (which may be made by electronic mail), any party so executing this Amendment by facsimile transmission shall promptly deliver a manually executed counterpart, provided that any failure to do so shall not affect the validity of the counterpart executed by facsimile transmission.

 

7.         Notwithstanding any other provision herein or in the other Loan Documents, the Borrower agrees that this Amendment, the Note, the other Loan Documents, any other amendments thereto and any other information, notice, signature card, agreement or authorization related thereto (each, a “Communication”) may, at the Bank’s option, be in the form of an electronic record. Any Communication may, at the Bank’s option, be signed or executed using electronic signatures. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by the Bank of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format) for transmission, delivery and/or retention. The Borrower and the Bank acknowledge and agree that the methods for delivering Communications, including notices, under the Loan Documents include electronic transmittal to any electronic address provided by either party to the other party from time to time.

 

8.         This Amendment will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Bank and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

 

9.         This Amendment has been delivered to and accepted by the Bank and will be deemed to be made in Cincinnati, Ohio. This Amendment will be interpreted and the rights and liabilities of the parties hereto determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, excluding its conflict of laws rules, including without limitation the Electronic Transactions Act (or equivalent) in such State (or, to the extent controlling, the laws of the United States of America, including without limitation the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act).

 

10.         Except as amended hereby, the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents remain unchanged, are and shall remain in full force and effect unless and until modified or amended in writing in accordance with their terms, and are hereby ratified and confirmed. Except as expressly provided herein, this Amendment shall not constitute an amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any provision of any Loan Document, a waiver of any default or Event of Default under any Loan Document, or a waiver or release of any of the Bank’s rights and remedies (all of which are hereby reserved). The Borrower expressly ratifies and confirms the waiver of jury trial provisions contained in the Loan Documents.
