FIRST AMENDMENT TO LOAN AGREEMENT
Exhibit 99.1
FIRST AMENDMENT TO LOAN AGREEMENT
This First Amendment to Loan Agreement (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of October 1, 2015 (the “Effective Date”) by and between QUINTIUM PRIVATE OPPORTUNITIES FUND, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Lender”), PSM HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), PRIME SOURCE MORTGAGE, INC. (formerly PrimeSource Mortgage, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“PrimeSource”), WWYH, Inc., a Texas corporation (“WWYH” and, together with PrimeSource, the “Grantors”), and Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx (“Xxxxxxxx” and, together with the Grantors, the “Guarantors”)
RECITALS
A. Borrower and Lender are parties to that certain Loan Agreement dated as of February 17, 2015 (as amended from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which Lender extended to Borrower a loan (the “Loan”) in the original principal amount of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00).
B. The Loan is evidenced by a Promissory Note dated February 17, 2015 (the “Note”) payable by Borrower to the order of Lender in the original principal amount of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000).
C. The Loan is secured in part by a Security Agreement dated February 17, 2015 by and among Grantors, Borrower, and Lender pursuant to which Borrower and Grantors granted to Lender a lien on all of their respective assets, whether then existing or later acquired, and wherever located, including all proceeds thereof (the “Security Agreement”) and is guaranteed by each of the Guarantors pursuant to separate Guaranty Agreements, each dated as of February 17, 2015 (each a “Guaranty” and collectively the “Guaranties”).
D. Borrower is in violation of Section 6(b)(i) of the Loan Agreement for failing to maintain a minimum EBITDA of $750,000 as of June 30, 2015 (the “EBITDA Covenant Violation”), and has informed Lender that it will likewise be unable to satisfy its obligation to maintain a minimum EBITDA of $1,000,000 as of September 30, 2015.
E. Borrower and PrimeSource have informed Lender that, because Lender has a lien on its assets pursuant to the Security Agreement, such assets are excluded from the calculation of PrimeSource’s net worth by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) required of lenders, such as PrimeSource, that qualify or seek to qualify as an FHA lender with Title II authority. As such, PrimeSource has been unable to meet its HUD net worth requirements.
F. PrimeSource is in violation of Section 6(b) of the Security Agreement for failing to notify Lender that it has changed its name from PrimeSource Mortgage, Inc. to Prime Source Mortgage, Inc. within thirty (30) days of such change (the “Name Change Covenant Violation”).
G. Borrower and the Guarantors have asked that Lender waive the EBITDA Covenant Violation, waive the Name Change Covenant Violation, and exclude certain assets of PrimeSource from its Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement), and Lender has agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment.
H. For purposes of this Amendment, the Loan Agreement, the Note, the Guaranties, the Security Agreement, and any other document evidencing, relating to, or securing the Loan shall be referred to herein as the “Loan Documents”); and the Loan, together with all of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall be referred to herein as the “Obligations”.
