Loan Agreement between Greystone and IBC

On January 31, 2014, Greystone and GSM (the “Borrowers”) and International Bank of Commerce (“IBC”) entered into a Loan Agreement (the “IBC Loan Agreement”). The IBC Loan Agreement provides for a revolving loan in an aggregate principal amount of up to $2,500,000 (the “Revolving Loan”) and a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $9,200,000 (the “Term Loan”). The exact amount which can be borrowed under the Revolving Loan from time to time is dependent upon the amount of the borrowing base, but can in no event exceed $2,500,000. On January 7, 2016, the Borrowers and IBC entered into the First Amendment to the IBC Loan Agreement (the “First Amendment”) whereby IBC made an additional term loan to Borrowers in the original principal amount of $2,530,072 (the “New Equipment Loan”). The New Equipment Loan and $2,917,422 of the principal amount outstanding on the Term Loan were consolidated into a new loan in the combined principal amount of $5,447,504 (the “Term Loan A”). The Term Loan’s remaining principal balance of $3,000,000 was deemed to be a separate term loan (the “Term Loan B”). The First Amendment also deferred the compliance requirement of the debt service ratio until May 31, 2016. In addition, on January 7, 2016, IBC extended the due date of the Revolving Loan to January 31, 2018.

The IBC Loan Agreement includes customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants which include (i) requiring the Borrowers to maintain a debt service coverage ratio of 1:25 to 1:00 and a funded debt to EBIDA ratio not exceeding 3:00 to 1:00, (ii) subject to certain exceptions, limiting the Borrowers’ combined capital expenditures on fixed assets to $1,000,000 per year, (iii) prohibiting Greystone, without IBC’s prior written consent, from declaring or paying any dividends, redemptions of stock or membership interests, distributions and withdrawals (as applicable) in respect of its capital stock or any other equity interest, other than additional payments to holders of its preferred stock in an amount not to exceed $500,000 in any fiscal year, (iv) subject to certain exceptions, prohibiting the incurrence of additional indebtedness by the Borrowers, and (v) requiring the Borrowers to prevent (A) any change in capital ownership such that there is a material change in the direct or indirect ownership of (1) Greystone’s outstanding preferred stock, and (2) any equity interest in GSM, or (B) Warren Kruger from ceasing to be actively involved in the management of Greystone as President and/or Chief Executive Officer. The foregoing list of covenants is not exhaustive and there are several other covenants contained in the IBC Loan Agreement.

Greystone’s funded debt to EBIDA ratio at February 29, 2016 was 3:32 to 1:00 which is not in compliance with the IBC Loan Agreement. Greystone has requested a waiver from IBC for the instance of non-compliance.

The IBC Loan Agreement includes customary events of default, including events of default relating to non-payment of principal and other amounts owing under the IBC Loan Agreement from time to time, inaccuracy of representations, violation of covenants, defaults under other agreements, bankruptcy and similar events, the death of a guarantor, certain material adverse changes relating to a Borrower or guarantor, certain judgments or awards against a Borrower, or government action affecting a Borrower’s or guarantor’s ability to perform under the IBC Loan Agreement or the related loan documents. Among other things, a default under the IBC Loan Agreement would permit IBC to cease lending funds under the IBC Loan Agreement, and require immediate repayment of any outstanding loans with interest and any unpaid accrued fees.

The IBC Loan Agreement is secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers. In addition, the IBC Loan Agreement is secured by a mortgage granted by GRE on the real property owned by GRE in Bettendorf, Iowa (the “Mortgage”). GRE is owned by Warren F. Kruger, Greystone’s President and CEO, and Robert B. Rosene, Jr., a director of Greystone. Messrs. Kruger and Rosene have provided a combined limited guaranty of the Borrowers’ obligations under the IBC Loan Agreement, with such guaranty being limited to a combined amount of $6,500,000 (the “Guaranty”). The Mortgage and the Guaranty also secure or guaranty, as applicable, the obligations of GRE under the Loan Agreement between GRE and IBC dated January 31, 2014 as discussed in the following paragraph.

Loan Agreement between GRE and IBC

On January 31, 2014, GRE and IBC entered into a Loan Agreement which provided for a mortgage loan to GRE of $3,412,500. The loan provides for a 4.5% interest rate and a maturity of January 31, 2019 and is secured by a mortgage on the two buildings in Bettendorf, Iowa which are leased to Greystone.

Rosene, Jr., a member of Greystone’s board of directors, to convert $2,066,000 of advances into a note payable at 7.5% interest. Mr. Rosene has waived payment of principal until January 15, 2017. Greystone accrued interest on the note and unpaid interest in the amounts of $246,466 and $227,619 for the nine-month periods ended February 29(28), 2016 and 2015, respectively.
