THIRD AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 1
 
 

 
“(a)           Line of Credit.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank hereby agrees to make advances to Borrower from time to time up to and including October 24, 2015 not to exceed at any time the aggregate principal amount of Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) minus all outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities, as hereinafter defined (“Line of Credit”), the proceeds of which shall be used (i) to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereby, and (ii) for working capital and other general business purposes of Borrower.  Borrower’s obligation to repay advances under the Line of Credit are evidenced by a Second Amended and Restated Line of Credit Promissory Note dated as of October 24, 2012, in the stated principal amount of $5,000,000.00 (as such promissory note may be amended, restated, refinanced or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Line of Credit Note”), all terms of which are incorporated herein by this reference.
 
(b)           Limitation on Borrowings.  Outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit, to a maximum of the principal amount set forth above, shall not at any time exceed the then-current borrowing base (the “Borrowing Base”) equal to the following amount as determined in good faith by Bank based upon a Borrowing Base Certificate (herein so called) in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference or in such other form as may be acceptable to Bank and such other information as Bank may consider relevant to such determination: an amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the aggregate value of Borrower’s Eligible Accounts Receivable (which amount, as of any date of determination, is hereinafter called the “Borrowing Base Amount”), minus all outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities.  All of the foregoing shall be determined by Bank upon receipt and review of all collateral reports required hereunder and such other documents and collateral information as Bank may from time to time reasonably require.  Borrower acknowledges that the Borrowing Base was established by Bank with the understanding that, among other items, the aggregate of all returns, rebates, discounts, credits and allowances for the immediately preceding three (3) months at all times shall be less than five percent (5%) of Borrower’s aggregate gross sales for said period.  If such dilution of Borrower’s accounts for the immediately preceding three (3) months at any time exceeds five percent (5%) of Borrower’s aggregate gross sales for said period, or if there at any time exists any other matters, events, conditions or contingencies which Bank reasonably believes may affect payment of any portion of any Borrower’s accounts, Bank, in its sole discretion, may reduce the foregoing advance rate against Eligible Accounts Receivable to a percentage appropriate to reflect such additional dilution and/or establish additional reserves against Borrowers’ Eligible Accounts Receivable.
 
As used herein, “Eligible Accounts Receivable” shall mean and consist solely of trade accounts created in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business, upon which Borrower’s right to receive payment is absolute and not contingent upon the fulfillment of any condition whatsoever, and in which Bank has a perfected security interest of first priority, and shall not include:
 
(i)  any account which is unpaid more than ninety (90) days past the initial invoice date therefor;
 
(ii)  that portion of any account for which there exists any right of setoff, defense or discount (except regular discounts allowed in the ordinary course of business to promote prompt payment) or for which any defense or counterclaim has been asserted;
 
 
THIRD AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 2
 
 

 
(iii)  any account which represents an obligation of any state or municipal government or of the United States government or any political subdivision thereof;
 
(iv)  any account which represents an obligation of an account debtor located in a foreign country;
 
(v)  any account which arises from the sale or lease to or performance of services for, or represents an obligation of, an employee, affiliate, partner, member, parent or subsidiary of Borrower;
 
(vi)  that portion of any account, which represents interim or progress billings or retention rights on the part of the account debtor;
 
(vii)  any account which represents an obligation of any account debtor when twenty percent (20%) or more of Borrower’s accounts from such account debtor are not eligible pursuant to (i) above;
 
(viii)  that portion of any account from an account debtor which represents the amount by which such Borrower’s total accounts from said account debtor exceeds twenty percent (20%) of Borrower’s total accounts; or
 
(ix)  any account deemed ineligible by Bank when Bank, in its sole discretion, deems the creditworthiness or financial condition of the account debtor, or the industry in which the account debtor is engaged, to be unsatisfactory.
 
(c)   Borrowing and Repayment.  Borrower may from time to time during the term of the Line of Credit borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings, and reborrow, subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions contained herein or in the Line of Credit Note; provided however, that the total outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit shall not at any time exceed the maximum principal amount available thereunder, as set forth above.  If at any time the total outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit exceed the then current Borrowing Base, then Borrower shall immediately repay the amount of such excess.”
 
Section 2.2.  Amendment to Section 1.2 of the Credit Agreement.  Subparagraph (c) of Section 1.2 of the Credit Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to hereafter read as follows:
 
“(c)           Unused Facility Fee.  Borrower agrees to pay to Bank an unused facility fee on the daily average unused amount of the Line of Credit for the period from and including the date of this Agreement to and including October 24, 2015, at the rate of one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum based on a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed.  For the purpose of calculating the unused facility fee hereunder, the Line of Credit shall be deemed utilized by the amount of all outstanding advances under the Line of Credit and all outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities.  Accrued unused facility fee shall be payable in arrears on October 24th of each calendar year during the term of this Agreement commencing October 24, 2014, with the final payment being due on October 24, 2015.”
 
Section 2.3.  Addition of Section 1.5 of the Credit Agreement.  A new Section 1.5 is hereby added to the Credit Agreement in its appropriate numerical order to read as follows:
 
“SECTION 1.5.  LETTERS OF CREDIT.
 
 
THIRD AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 3
 
 

 
(a)  Issuance.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender agrees to issue one or more standby letters of credit for the account of Borrower from time to time from the date hereof through the date that is five (5) business days prior to October 24, 2015; provided, however, that the outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not at any time exceed the least of: (a) Three Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($300,000.00); (b) an amount equal to $5,000,000.00 minus the outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit; or (c) an amount equal to the Borrowing Base Amount minus the outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit.  Each Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date not to exceed three hundred sixty-five (365) days, shall not have an expiration date beyond October 24, 2015, shall be payable in Dollars, shall have a minimum face amount of Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00), must support a transaction that is entered into in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business, must be satisfactory in form and substance to Lender, will be subject to the payment of such Letter of Credit fees as Lender may require, and shall be issued pursuant to such documents and instruments executed by Borrower (including, without limitation, Lender’s form of Letter of Credit application as then in effect) as Lender may require. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a direct or indirect subsidiary of Borrower, Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse Lender hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit.  Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries inures to the benefit of Borrower, and that Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such subsidiaries.    For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Letter of Credit Liabilities” shall mean, at any time, the aggregate face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, plus any amounts drawn under any Letters of Credit for which Bank has not been fully reimbursed by Borrower (unless Lender, in its sole discretion, has cleared the drawn amount, in which case the drawn amount would not constitute a Letter of Credit Liability).  The Letter of Credit Liabilities are part of Borrower’s indebtedness and obligations hereunder.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Letter of Credit” shall mean any letter of credit issued by Bank for the account of or at the direction of Borrower pursuant to this section.
 
(b)  Fees.  Borrower agrees to pay to Lender, as a condition precedent to the issuance (including the extension) of each Letter of Credit, an issuance fee payable on the date of issuance equal to the greater of (i) one percent (1%) per annum of the face amount of such Letter of Credit, and (ii) $1,000 (including any extension).
 
(c)  Reimbursement.  Each payment by Lender pursuant to a drawing under a Letter of Credit is required to be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender and payable immediately upon such drawing and, at the sole option of Lender, can be charged by Lender as a borrowing under the Line of Credit Note and this Agreement by Borrower as of the day and time such payment is made by Lender and in the amount of such payment.
 
(d)  Additional Costs in Respect of Letters of Credit.  If, after the date hereof, there shall occur the adoption of any applicable law, rule, or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency there shall be imposed, modified, or deemed applicable any tax, reserve, special deposit, or similar requirement against or with respect to or measured by reference to Letters of Credit issued or to be issued hereunder or Lender’s commitment to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, and the result shall be to increase the cost to Lender of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or its commitment to issue Letters of Credit hereunder or reduce any amount receivable by Lender hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit (which increase in cost, or reduction in amount receivable, shall be the result of Lender’s reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such increases or reductions resulting from such event), then, upon demand by Lender, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender, from time to time as specified by Lender, such additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amount.  A statement as to such increased costs or reductions in amount incurred by Lender, submitted by Lender to Borrower, shall be conclusive as to the amount thereof; provided that the determination thereof is made on a reasonable basis.”

(c)  No Material Adverse Change.  Since September 30, 2010, there shall have been no material adverse change, as reasonably determined by Bank, in the financial condition or business of any Loan Party, nor any material decline, as reasonably determined by Bank, in the market value of any collateral required hereunder or a substantial or material portion of the assets of any Loan Party.
 
(d)  Documentation.  Bank shall have received all additional documents which may be required in connection with such extension of credit or Letter of Credit, as the case may be.”
