addition to the foregoing, part (iii) of the definition of “Eligible Accounts”
shall be amended to read as follows:
(iii) That
portion of Accounts not yet earned by the final delivery of goods by such
Borrower to the account debtor, or that portion of Accounts not yet earned by
the final rendition of services by such Borrower to the account
debtor;
2. Amendment of Sections 2.8(h)
and 2.8(i). Section 2.8(h) and 2.8(i) of the Credit Agreement shall be
amended to read as follows:
(h) Prepayment
Fees. The Borrowers may prepay the principal amount of the Real Estate
Note or the Term Note at any time, whether voluntarily or by acceleration,
subject to the payment of fees as follows: If the Real Estate Note or the Term
Note is prepaid for any reason, the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender a
prepayment fee in an amount equal to (i) two percent (2.0%) of the amount
prepaid, if prepayment occurs on or before the first anniversary of the Funding
Date; (ii) one percent (1.0%) of the amount prepaid, if prepayment occurs after
the first anniversary of the Funding Date but on or before the second
anniversary of the Funding Date; and (iii) one half percent (.50%) of the amount
prepaid, if prepayment occurs after the second anniversary of the Funding
Date.
The
Borrowers acknowledge that prepayment may result in Lender incurring additional
costs, expenses and/or liabilities, and that it is difficult to ascertain the
full extent of such costs, expenses and/or liabilities. The Borrowers therefore
agree to pay the above-described prepayment fee and agree that said prepayment
fee represents a reasonable estimate of the prepayment costs, expenses and/or
liabilities of the Lender.
(i) Contracted Funds
Breakage Fees. The Borrowers may prepay the principal amount of any Note
at any time, whether voluntarily or by acceleration, provided, however, that if the
principal amount of any LIBOR Advance is prepaid, the Borrowers shall pay to the
Lender immediately upon demand a contracted funds breakage fee equal to the sum
of the discounted monthly differences for each month from the month of
prepayment through the month in which such Interest Period matures, calculated
as follows for each such month:
|
(i)
|
Determine the
amount of interest which would have accrued each month on the amount
prepaid at the interest rate applicable to such amount had it remained
outstanding until the last day of the applicable Interest
Period.
|
|
(ii)
|
Subtract from
the amount determined in (i) above the amount of interest which would have
accrued for the same month on the amount prepaid for the remaining term of
such Interest Period at LIBOR in effect on the date of prepayment for new
loans made for such term in a principal amount equal to the amount
prepaid.
|
|
(iii)
|
If
the result obtained in (ii) for any month is greater than zero, discount
that difference by LIBOR used in (ii)
above.
|
The
Borrower acknowledges that a prepayment of any of the Revolving Note, the Real
Estate Note or the Term Note may result in the Lender incurring additional
costs, expenses or liabilities, and that it is difficult to ascertain the full
extent of such costs, expenses or liabilities. The Borrower therefore agrees to
pay the above-described
- 3 -
contracted
funds breakage fee and agrees that this fee represents a reasonable estimate of
the contracted funds breakage costs, and any expenses or liabilities of the
Lender.
3. Addition of Section 2.17 and
Section 2.18. A new Section 2.17 and a new Section 2.18 shall be added to
the Agreement to read as follows:
Section
2.17 Term
Advance.
(a) The
Lender agrees, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make a
single advance to the Borrowers on the date the conditions in Paragraph 6 of the
First Amendment and the applicable conditions of Section 4.1 hereof have been
satisfied (the “Term Advance”) in the amount of One Million Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000). The Borrowers' joint and several obligation to
pay the Term Advance shall be evidenced by the Term Note and shall be secured by
the Collateral as provided in Article III and the Mortgage.
(b) Upon
fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth herein, the Lender shall
disburse the proceeds of the Term Advance in the manner specified in Section
2.2(d).
Section
2.18 Payment of Term
Note. The outstanding principal balance of the Term Note shall be due and
payable as follows:
(a) In
equal monthly installments of Thirty One Thousand Two Hundred Fifty Dollars
($31,250), beginning on June 1, 2008, and on the 1st day of each month
thereafter prior to the funding of the Real Estate Advance; and
(b) Upon
the funding of the Real Estate Advance, an additional installment of Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), and thereafter in equal monthly
installments of Twenty Thousand Eight Hundred Thirty Three Dollars ($20,833),
beginning on the 1st day of the first month following the funding of the Real
Estate Advance, and continuing on the 1st day of each month thereafter;
and
(c) If
the Lender at any time obtains an appraisal of the Borrowers' Equipment the
value of which was used to determine the amount of the Term Advance (the
“subject Equipment”) as permitted under Section 6.9(d) herein, and the appraisal
shows the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Term Note to exceed one
hundred percent (100%) of the Net Forced Liquidation Value of the subject
Equipment, then the Borrowers, upon demand by the Lender, shall in the Lender's
discretion either make additional monthly principal payments in an amount equal
to the amount of such excess divided by twelve (12) months, or immediately
prepay the Term Note in the amount of such excess, in each case together with
any prepayment or contracted funds breakage fee due pursuant to Section
2.8.
(c) All
prepayments of principal with respect to the Term Note shall be applied to the
most remote principal installment or installments then unpaid.
(d) On
the Termination Date, the entire unpaid principal balance of the Term Note, and
all unpaid interest accrued thereon, shall in any event be due and
payable.
4. Amendment of Section
7.1(a). Section 7.1(a) of the Agreement shall be amended to read as
follows:
- 4 -
(a) Default in
the payment of the Revolving Note, the Real Estate Note, the Term Note, or any
Obligation of Reimbursement, or any default with respect to any other
Indebtedness due from Borrowers to Lender as such Indebtedness becomes due and
payable;

of the Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply to
any advance or letter of credit thereunder.
