Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement

On September 21, 2023, FreightCar North America, LLC (“Borrower” and together with FreightCar America, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain other subsidiary guarantors, collectively, the “Loan Parties”) entered into a Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, which amends the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated July 30, 2021, as amended by the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated February 23, 2022, and by the Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated May 22, 2023 (such original agreement as amended prior to the Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, the “Siena Loan Agreement”), by and among the Loan Parties and Siena Lending Group LLC (the “Revolving Loan Lender”). Pursuant to the Siena Loan Agreement, the Revolving Loan Lender provided an asset backed credit facility, in the maximum aggregate principal amount of up to $35.0 million (the “Maximum Revolving Facility Amount”), consisting of revolving loans (the “Revolving Loans”).

The Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, among other things, (i) extended the scheduled maturity date of the Siena Loan Agreement from October 8, 2023 to October 31, 2024, and (ii) increased the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount by $10.0 million to a total of $45.0 million, provided, however, that after giving effect to each Revolving Loan and each letter of credit made available to the Loan Parties, (A) the outstanding balance of all Revolving Loans and the Letter of Credit Balance (which is defined in the Siena Loan Agreement as the sum of (a) the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and (b) all interest, fees and costs due or, in Lender’s estimation, likely to become due in connection therewith) will not exceed the lesser of (x) the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount and (y) the Borrowing Base (as defined in the Siena Loan Agreement, as amended by the Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement), and (B) none of the other Loan Limits (as defined in the Siena Loan Agreement) for Revolving Loans will be exceeded.

The foregoing description of the Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to a copy of the Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
