SIXTH AMENDMENT TO REVOLVING CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
This SIXTH AMENDMENT TO REVOLVING CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of January 9, 2014, by and among VIRCO MFG. CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“VMC”), VIRCO INC., a Delaware corporation (“Virco”, and together with VMC, “Borrowers” and, each individually, a “Borrower”), the financial institutions from time to time party to the Credit Agreement (as defined below) as lenders (collectively, “Lenders”), and PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“PNC”), as administrative agent for Lenders (PNC, in such capacity, “Agent”), with respect to the following:
