BACKGROUND

A.     On November 8, 2018, Borrowers, Lenders and Agent entered into, inter alia, a certain Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (as same has been or may be amended, modified, supplemented, renewed, extended, replaced or substituted from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) to reflect certain financing arrangements between the parties thereto.

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 provisions of the Credit 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.     Definitions.

(a)     Interpretation. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement. In the case of a direct conflict between the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the provisions of this Amendment, the provisions of this Amendment shall govern and control.

2.     Amendment.

(a)     Section 1.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete the defined term “Senior Leverage Ratio” in its entirety.

(b)     Section 1.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following defined term in the proper alphabetical order:

“Second Amendment Closing Date” shall mean August 8, 2019.

(c)     Section 1.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting clause (b)(vii) of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” and replacing it as follows:

(vii)     any integration costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Acquisition and paid within 365 days following the Effective Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed $3,000,000,

(d)     Section 1.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting clause (b) of the definition of “Eligible Receivables” and replacing it as follows:

(b)     it is due or unpaid more than (i) sixty (60) days after the original due date or (ii) (1) ninety (90) days after the original invoice date for all Customers other than Specified Customers and (2) one hundred twenty (120) days after the original invoice date for all Specified Customers; provided that the Eligible Receivables under clause (ii)(2) hereof, shall not exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate at any time;

(c)     Section 1.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the following defined terms and replacing them as follows:

“Applicable Margin” shall mean, (a) on the Second Amendment Closing Date, an amount equal to one and one half of one percent (1.50%) for Revolving Advances consisting of Domestic Rate Loans and (b) an amount equal to three percent (3.00%) for Revolving Advances consisting of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Effective as of the first day of the month following receipt by Agent of the quarterly financial statements of the Borrowers on a consolidated and consolidating basis and related Compliance Certificate for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2020 required under Section 9.8 hereof, and thereafter on the first day of the month following receipt of the quarterly financial statements of the Borrowers on a consolidated and consolidating basis and related Compliance Certificate required under Section 9.8 hereof for the most recently completed fiscal quarter (each day of such delivery, an “Adjustment Date”), the Applicable Margin for each type of Advance shall be adjusted, if necessary, to the applicable percent per annum set forth in the pricing table below corresponding to the Leverage Ratio for the trailing four quarter period ending on the last day of the most recently completed fiscal quarter prior to the applicable Adjustment Date:

Leverage Ratio	Applicable Margins for Domestic Rate Loans	Applicable Margins for Eurodollar Rate Loans
Less than 2.00 to 1.00	1.00%	2.50%
Greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00 but less than 2.75 to 1.00	1.25%	2.75%
Greater than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00	1.50%	3.00%

2

If the Borrowers shall fail to deliver the financial statements, certificates and/or other information required under Section 9.8 hereof by the dates required pursuant to such sections, each Applicable Margin shall be conclusively presumed to equal the highest Applicable Margin specified in the pricing table set forth above until the date of delivery of such financial statements, certificates and/or other information, at which time the rate will be adjusted based upon the Leverage Ratio reflected in such statements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, each Applicable Margin shall increase to and equal the highest Applicable Margin specified in the pricing table set forth above and shall continue at such highest Applicable Margin until the date (if any) on which such Event of Default shall be waived in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, at which time the rate will be adjusted based upon the Leverage Ratio reflected on the most recently delivered financial statements and Compliance Certificate delivered by the Borrowers to Agent pursuant to Section 9.8 hereof (as applicable). Any increase in interest rates and/or other fees payable by the Borrowers under this Agreement and the Other Documents pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing sentence shall be in addition to and independent of any increase in such interest rates and/or other fees resulting from the occurrence of any Event of Default (including, if applicable, any Event of Default arising from a breach of Section 9.8 hereof) and/or the effectiveness of the Default Rate provisions of Section 3.1 hereof or the default fee rate provisions of Section 3.2 hereof.

If, as a result of any restatement of, or other adjustment to, the financial statements of Borrowers on a consolidated and consolidating basis or for any other reason, Agent reasonably determines that (a) the Leverage Ratio as previously calculated as of any applicable date for any applicable period was inaccurate, and (b) a proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio for any such period would have resulted in different pricing for such period, then (i) if the proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in a higher interest rate for such period, automatically and immediately without the necessity of any demand or notice by Agent or any other affirmative act of any party, the interest accrued on the applicable outstanding Advances for such period under the provisions of this Agreement and the Other Documents shall be deemed to be retroactively increased by, and Borrowers shall be obligated to immediately pay to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest actually paid for such period; and (ii) if the proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio for a period of no more than the preceding six (6) months would have resulted in a lower interest rate and/or fees (as applicable) for such six (6) month period, then the interest accrued on the applicable outstanding Advances and the amount of the fees accruing for such six (6) month period under the provisions of this Agreement and the Other Documents shall be deemed to be retroactively decreased by, and each Lender shall be obligated to pay to the Borrowers, an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share of the excess of the amount of interest and fees that was actually paid for such six (6) month period over the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such six (6) month period (which obligation shall be satisfied by offset against the amounts thereafter payable from time to time by the Borrowers to such Lender until paid in full, unless there are no Obligations then outstanding in which case such Lender shall immediately pay any remaining unpaid amount to the Borrowers); provided, that, if as a result of any restatement or other event or other determination by Agent a proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in a higher interest rate and/or fees (as applicable) for one or more periods and a lower interest rate and/or fees (as applicable) for one or more other periods (due to the shifting of income or expenses from one period to another period or any other reason), then (A) the amount payable by Borrowers pursuant to clause (i) above shall be based upon the excess, if any, of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for all applicable periods over the amounts of interest and fees actually paid for such periods, and (B) the amount payable by the Lenders pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be based upon the excess, if any of the amount of interest and fees that was actual paid for all applicable periods over the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such periods.

3

“Maximum Revolving Advance Amount” shall mean $65,000,000.

“Total Leverage Ratio” shall mean, for any Person and its Subsidiaries for any period of determination, the ratio of (a) Indebtedness described in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) in the definition thereof of such Person and its Subsidiaries as of the end of such period to (b) Consolidated EBITDA of such Person for such period. For all purposes of calculating the Total Leverage Ratio hereunder, the amount of Revolving Advances outstanding as of the end of any period shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the result of (i) the sum of the aggregate amount of Revolving Advances outstanding at the end of each Business Day during the most recently ended fiscal month of such period divided by (ii) the number of Business Days in such fiscal month

(d)     Section 2.1(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such Section in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

(b)    Sublimit for Revolving Advances made against Inventory. The aggregate amount of Revolving Advances made to Borrowers against (i) Eligible Inventory shall not exceed $35,000,000 in the aggregate at any time outstanding; and (ii) Eligible Inventory located in Mexico in the aggregate shall not exceed $15,000,000 in the aggregate at any time outstanding
