RECITALS
A. On or about December 1, 1997, the Borrower and the Bank entered into that certain Loan and Security Agreement, which was subsequently superceded and restated in full pursuant to an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated August 9, 1999, and further modified by those certain Loan Modification Agreements dated May 28, 1999, November 24, 1999, January 31, 2000, May 2, 2000, August 15, 2000, April 16, 2001, May 23, 2001, and September 28, 2001 (the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement and all Loan Modification Agreements collectively referred to herein as the "Loan Agreement"), pursuant to which the Bank made available to the Borrower a Committed Revolving Line (the "Revolving Line") in the principal amount of up to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000). Each capitalized term used in this Modification shall have the meaning accorded to it in the Loan Agreement unless it is otherwise defined herein.
B. The Borrower and the Bank hereby agree to amend the Loan Agreement further as follows, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Modification.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in reliance upon the foregoing and in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Modification of Certain Provisions.
1.1 Amendment of Section 2.1.2 of the Loan Agreement. Section 2.1.2 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in full as follows:
2.1.2 Letters of Credit.
Bank will issue or have issued Letters of Credit, and Import, Export, or Standby Letters of Credit, for Borrower's account in an aggregate face amount not to exceed the Committed Revolving Line minus the sum of (i) the then-outstanding principal balance of the Advances, plus (ii) all amounts then outstanding under the Cash Management Services Sublimit plus (iii) the Foreign Exchange Sublimit; provided, however, that the face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit) may at no time exceed the Committed Revolving Line. Each Letter of Credit will have an expiry date of not later than 180 days after the Revolving Maturity Date, but Borrower's reimbursement obligation will be secured by cash on terms acceptable to Bank at any time after the Revolving Maturity Date if the term of this Agreement is not extended by Bank. Borrower agrees to execute any further documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as Bank may reasonably request.
1.2 Amendment of Section 2.1.3 of the Loan Agreement. Section 2.1.3 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in full as follows:
2.1.3 Foreign Exchange Sublimit.
To the extent that the Foreign Exchange Sublimit (as calculated herein) is not exceeded, Borrower may enter into foreign exchange forward contracts with Bank under which Borrower
commits to purchase from or sell to Bank a set amount of foreign currency more than one Business Day after the contract date (the "FX Forward Contract"). The Foreign Exchange Sublimit (the "Foreign Exchange Sublimit") shall be an amount equal to 10% of the face amount of all outstanding FX Forward Contracts; provided, however, that at no time may the aggregate face amounts of all FX Forward Contracts exceed ten times the amount of the Foreign Exchange Sublimit, and the Foreign Exchange Sublimit may never exceed the Committed Revolving Line minus the sum of (i) the then- outstanding principal balance of the Advances, plus (ii) all amounts then outstanding under the Cash Management Services Sublimit plus (iii) the face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit. The aggregate amount of the Foreign Exchange Sublimit shall at all times reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the amount otherwise available to be borrowed under the Committed Revolving Line. Bank may terminate the FX Forward Contracts if an Event of Default occurs.
1.3 Addition of New Section 2.1.4 to the Loan Agreement. Section 2.1.4 is hereby added to the Loan Agreement to read in full as follows:
2.1.4 Cash Management Services Sublimit.
Borrower may use up to $10,000,000 of the amounts available under Section 2.1.1(a) (the "Cash Management Services Sublimit") for Bank's Cash Management Services, which may include merchant services, business credit card, automated clearing house transactions, and controlled disbursement accounts identified in various cash management services agreements related to such services (the "Cash Management Services"). All amounts at any one time outstanding under the Cash Management Services Sublimit will reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the amount otherwise available to be borrowed under the Committed Revolving Line. Any amounts Bank pays on behalf of Borrower, and any amounts that are not promptly repaid by Borrower, for any Cash Management Services will be treated as Advances under the Committed Revolving Line and will accrue interest at the rate for Advances. Borrower agrees to execute any further documentation in connection with the Cash Management Services as Bank may request.
1.4 Amendment of Section 6.7(i) of the Loan Agreement. Clause (i) of Section 6.7 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in full as follows:
(i) Quick Ratio. A ratio of Quick Assets plus marketable securities to Current Liabilities of at least 2.50 to 1.00.
1.5 Amendment and Restatement of Section 6.7(iii) of the Loan Agreement. Clause (iii) of Section 6.7 of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following new clause (iii):
(iii) Minimum Balance Sheet Cash. Borrower shall at all times maintain at least Sixty Five Million Dollars ($65,000,000) in cash and marketable securities on its balance sheet, determined in accordance with GAAP.
1.6 Amendment of Section 7.3 of the Loan Agreement. Loan Agreement Section 7.3 entitled "Mergers or Acquisitions" (referenced incorrectly in that certain Loan Modification Agreement dated May 28, 1999 as Section 6.3) is hereby amended and restated to read in full as follows:
7.3 Mergers or Acquisitions.
Merge or consolidate, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to merge or consolidate, with or into any other business organization, or acquire, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to acquire, all or substantially all of the capital stock or property of another Person, except for (i) such transactions that do not involve an amount that in the aggregate exceeds Seventy Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000) through the Revolving Maturity Date; (ii) without the prior consent of the Bank
2
(which consent may be granted or withheld in the Bank's sole discretion), an acquisition for more than Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) in cash through the Revolving Maturity Date; or (iii) being acquired by REMEC Corp and upon the consummation of such acquisition the Borrower is a wholly-owned subsidiary of REMEC Corp.; provided, however, that in each of the foregoing situations an Event of Default has not occurred and is continuing or would exist after giving effect to such action.
1.7 Modification of Section 13.1 of the Loan Agreement. The following defined term under Section 13.1 is hereby amended to read in full as follows:
