FOURTH AMENDMENT LOAN AGREEMENT

 

THIS FOURTH AMENDMENT TO LOAN AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is made and entered into as of February 7, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), by and between EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), and MIDFIRST BANK, a federally charted savings association (“Lender”).

 

BACKGROUND RECITALS

 

A.     Borrower and Lender are parties to that certain Loan Agreement dated as of December 1, 2015, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Loan Agreement dated as of March 10, 2016, as amended by that certain Second Amendment to Loan Agreement dated as of June 15, 2016, and as further amended by that certain Third Amendment to Loan Agreement dated as of June 28, 2016 (as amended, the “Loan Agreement”). Unless the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Loan Agreement.

 

B.     Borrower failed to maintain a Debt to Worth Ratio not in excess of 3.50:1.00 as of November 30, 2016, which is a DTW Test Default in violation of Section 5.1(i) of the Loan Agreement (the “Specified Default”), which constitutes an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement. Borrower has requested that Lender waive the Specified Default and any consequences thereof.

 

C.     The Lender has agreed to waive the Specified Default and any consequences thereof, but only upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

 

	
			1.

				
			WAVIER OF SPECIFIED DEFAULT.

			

 

1.1.     Waiver. Subject to the terms of this Amendment, Lender hereby waives the Specified Default and any consequences thereof. This waiver is limited to the Specified Default, is only for the calculation period as of November 30, 2016, and does not extend to any other default or Event of Default that may have occurred or be continuing as of the Effective Date.

 

1.2.     No Course of Dealing, Strict Compliance, No Prejudice. Under no circumstance does Lender's election to waive the Specified Default (i) modify the Loan Documents (except as expressly modified by this Amendment); (ii) establish a custom or course of dealing with respect to any of the Loan Documents or be construed as a waiver of Lender's insistence on strict compliance by Borrower with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents; (iii) operate as a waiver of any existing or future default or Event of Default under the Loan Documents; (iv) entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand whatsoever; (v) except as set forth in this Amendment, in any way modify, change, impair, affect, diminish or release any of Borrower's obligations or liability under or pursuant to the Loan Documents or any other liability Borrower may have to Lender; or (vi) waive, limit or condition Lender's existing rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, all of which rights and remedies are expressly reserved except with respect to the Specified Default.

			337.50

			
	
			IV

				
			< 2.25

				
			325.00

			

 

Any increase or decrease in the LIBOR Margin resulting from a change in the Adjusted Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio for the most recent fiscal quarter of Borrower shall become effective not later than 30 days following the date a Compliance Certificate is delivered and confirmed by Lender; provided, however, that if Borrower fails to deliver a Compliance Certificate on or before the applicable Compliance Certificate Due Date, then Pricing Tier I shall apply as of the first Business Day after such Compliance Certificate Due Date and shall continue to apply until not later than 30 days following the date a Compliance Certificate is delivered and confirmed by Lender, whereupon the LIBOR Margin shall be adjusted based upon the Adjusted Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio contained in such Compliance Certificate. The initial LIBOR Margin shall be determined based upon Pricing Tier IV until adjusted otherwise.
