BACKGROUND
A. On October 4, 2017, Borrowers, Lenders, and Agent entered into a certain Revolving Credit, Term Loan, and Security Agreement (as same has been or may be amended, modified, renewed, extended, replaced or substituted from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) to reflect certain financing arrangements between the parties thereto. The Loan Agreement and all other documents executed in connection therewith are collectively referred to as the “Existing Financing Agreements.” All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Loan Agreement.
B. The Borrowers have requested and the Agent and the Lenders have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment, to modify certain definitions, terms and conditions in the Loan Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, with the foregoing background hereinafter deemed incorporated by reference herein and made part hereof, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, promise and agree as follows:
1. Amendments to Loan Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, the Loan Agreement shall be amended as follows:
(a) New Definitions. The following definitions shall be added to Section 1.2 of the Loan Agreement in the appropriate alphabetical order:
“Borrowing Period” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 2.3(b)(ii) hereof.
“Borrowing Period Monthly Installment” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 2.3(b)(ii) hereof.
(b) Definitions. The definitions of “First Borrowing Period”, “First Borrowing Period Monthly Installment”, “Second Borrowing Period”, and “Second Borrowing Period Monthly Installment” contained in Section 1.2 of the Loan Agreement shall be deleted in their entirety and the following definitions contained in Section 1.2 of the Loan Agreement shall be amended and restated in their entirety as follows:
“Maximum Equipment Loan Amount” shall mean $750,000.
“Maximum Loan Amount” shall mean $15,450,000.
(c) Equipment Loans. Section 2.3(b) of the Loan Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
(b) Equipment Loans.
(i) Following the date which is the first anniversary of the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender, severally and not jointly, shall, from time to time, make Advances (each, an “Equipment Loan” and collectively, the “Equipment Loans”) to one or more Borrowers in an amount equal to such Lender’s Equipment Loan Commitment Percentage of the applicable Equipment Loan to finance Borrowers’ purchase of equipment for use in Borrowers’ business. All such Equipment Loans shall be in such amounts as are requested by Borrowing Agent, but in no event shall any Equipment Loan exceed eighty percent (80%) of the Net Invoice Cost of the equipment being purchased by Borrowers and the total amount of all Equipment Loans advanced shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the Maximum Equipment Loan Amount. Once repaid, Equipment Loans may not be re-borrowed.
(ii) Equipment Loans shall be made available to Borrowers during the period commencing on the date which is the first anniversary of the Closing Date and ending on the date which is the second anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Borrowing Period”) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 8.3 hereof. At the end of the Borrowing Period, Agent shall calculate the aggregate principal balance of all then outstanding Equipment Loans, which amount shall amortize in equal and consecutive monthly installments of principal, based on a 36-month amortization schedule, the first of which installments shall be due and payable on the first day of the next month after the end of the Borrowing Period, and the remaining installments of which shall
2
be due and payable on the first day of each month thereafter (the amount of each such monthly installment, the “Borrowing Period Monthly Installment”), provided, however, that the aggregate principal balance of all Equipment Loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all unpaid fees, costs and expenses payable hereunder in connection therewith, shall be due and payable in full upon the expiration of the Term, subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement or termination of this Agreement. Equipment Loans shall be evidenced by one or more secured promissory notes (collectively, the “Equipment Note”) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.3(b). The Equipment Loans may consist of Domestic Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, as Borrowing Agent may request; and in the event that Borrowers desire to obtain or extend any Equipment Loan (or any portion thereof) as a LIBOR Rate Loan or to convert any Equipment Loan (or any portion thereof) from a Domestic Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, Borrowing Agent shall comply with the notification requirements set forth in Sections 2.2(b) and/or (e) and the provisions of Sections 2.2(b) through (h) shall apply.
2. Representations and Warranties. Each Borrower hereby:
(a) reaffirms all representations and warranties made to Agent and Lenders under the Loan Agreement and all of the other Existing Financing Agreements and confirms that all are true and correct in all respects as of the date hereof as if made on and as of the date hereof, except for representations and warranties which related exclusively to an earlier date, which shall be true and correct in all respects as of such earlier date;
