WHEREAS, Loan Parties have requested that Lender (i) extend the Term of the Loan Agreement, (ii) increase the Credit Limit and (iii) make certain other amendments to the Loan Agreement, and Lender has agreed to the foregoing requests subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1.  Definitions. Interpretation.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement.  This Amendment shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the rules of construction set forth in the Loan Agreement.

Section 2.  Amendments to Loan Agreement.

2.1              Loans and Other Financial Accommodations.  Section 5(e) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“(e)        As used in this Section 5 and elsewhere in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(i)           “Appraised Value” shall mean, with respect to the Eligible Real Property, the fair market value of such Eligible Real Property as set forth in the most recent reasonably acceptable appraisal, if any, received by Lender in accordance with Section 10(d) hereof of such Eligible Real Property conducted by an independent appraiser engaged by Lender or otherwise acceptable to Lender in its Permitted Discretion, which appraisal shall assume, among other things, a marketing time period agreed to by Lender in its Permitted Discretion.

(ii)           “Borrowing Base” shall mean, as of any date of determination, with respect to any Borrower, the sum of the following:

(A)          up to eighty-five percent (85%) of the unpaid face amount of Qualified Accounts of such Borrower; plus

(B)          the lesser of (1) $2,500,000 and (2) seventy-five percent (75%) times the then extant Net Orderly Liquidation Percentage times the cost of Eligible Inventory of such Borrower; plus

(C)          the lesser of (1) $400,000 and (2) forty percent (40%) of the Net Forced Liquidation Value of Eligible Equipment of such Borrower (the “Equipment Sub-Line”); which Equipment Sub-Line shall amortize as described in Section 5(f) below; plus

(D)          the lesser of (1) $1,750,000 and (2) forty-five percent (45%) of the Appraised Value of Eligible Real Property (the “Real Property Sub-Line”); minus

(E)          the Borrowing Base Reserve.

Without limiting Lender’s discretion, notwithstanding the actual net face value of any Qualified Account of Borrowers, for purposes of computing the Borrowing Base, the value of all Qualified Accounts due from any account debtor (other than United States government agencies) shall not exceed the sum of $150,000 in the aggregate for all Borrowers.  Lender may, in its sole discretion, raise or lower the $150,000 limit set forth in the immediately preceding sentence without in any way creating a course of conduct which requires Lender to maintain such raised or lowered limit or to raise or lower such limit again in the future. Lender, in its exercise of its discretion, has initially set higher credit limits on those customers of a Borrower set forth on Exhibit 2 attached hereto.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge, confirm and agree that, until such time as Lender receives any third-party or internal approvals Lender may require, in its Permitted Discretion, with respect to the Eligible Real Property (including, without limitation, any approvals needed from Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.), Lender shall have no obligation to make, and Borrowers shall have no right to request or receive, any loans, advances or credits with respect to the Real Property Sub-Line.

(iii)          “Borrowing Base Certificate” shall mean a form of borrowing base certificate, in form and substance acceptable to Lender.

(iv)          “Borrowing Base Reserve” shall mean, as of any date of determination, (A) such amounts (expressed as either a specified amount or as a percentage of a specified category or item) as Lender may from time to time establish and adjust in reducing the amount available for borrowing (1) to reflect events, conditions, contingencies or risks which, as determined by Lender in its Permitted Discretion, do or may affect (x) the Collateral or its value, (y) the assets, business or prospects of any Borrower, or (z) the Liens and other rights of Lender in the Collateral (including the enforceability, perfection and priority thereof), or (2) to reflect Lender’s judgment (determined in its Permitted Discretion) that any collateral report or financial information furnished by or on behalf of any Borrower to Lender is or may have been incomplete, inaccurate or misleading in any material respect, or (3) in respect of any state of facts that Lender determines in its Permitted Discretion constitutes an Event of Default (as defined in Section 16 below), or (4) in respect of impediments to Lender’s ability to realize upon any Eligible Real Property (including, but not limited to, (w) municipal taxes and assessments, (x) repairs, (y) remediation of title defects and (z) amounts that are reasonably likely to be expended by any Loan Party to correct or remedy any non-compliance with Environmental Laws), and (B) the Cost Reserve.

(v)           “Cost Reserve” shall mean, as of any date of determination, an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the total inventory of Borrowers.

(vi)          “Credit Limit” shall mean an amount equal to $8,000,000.

(xiv)        “Net Orderly Liquidation Percentage” shall mean the percentage of the Value of a Borrower’s inventory that is estimated to be recoverable in an orderly liquidation of such inventory as set forth in the most recent acceptable appraisal received by Lender and upon which Lender may rely, net of all operating expenses and associated costs and expenses of such liquidation, such percentage to be as determined from time to time by an appraisal company selected or approved by Lender with such most recent acceptable appraisal to be in form, scope, methodology and content acceptable to Lender.

2.2              General Agreements of Borrowers and/or Loan Parties.  Section 14(c) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“(c)         Although, as above set forth, Lender has a continuing Lien in all of Borrowers’ Collateral and in the proceeds thereof, each Borrower will at all times maintain as the minimum security hereunder a Borrowing Base not less than the aggregate unpaid principal of all loans made hereunder to such Borrower and if such Borrower fails to do so, such Borrower will immediately make the necessary reduction in the unpaid principal amount of said loans so that the loans outstanding hereunder do not in the aggregate exceed the Borrowing Base of such Borrower.  In addition, (i) if Lender obtains an appraisal of the Eligible Equipment at any time as permitted under this Agreement, and such appraisal shows the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Equipment Sub-Line to exceed forty percent (40%) of the Net Forced Liquidation Value of the Eligible Equipment, then Lender may require Borrowers to immediately pay the unpaid principal of the Equipment Sub-Line in the amount or, at the option of Lender, Lender may establish a Borrowing Base Reserve in the amount, of such excess, and (ii) if Lender obtains an appraisal of the Eligible Real Property at any time as permitted under this Agreement, and such appraisal shows the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Real Property Sub-Line to exceed forty-five percent (45%) of the Appraised Value of the Eligible Real Property, then Lender may require Borrowers to immediately pay the unpaid principal of the Real Property Sub-Line, in the amount or, at the option of Lender, Lender may establish a Borrowing Base Reserve in the amount, of such excess.”

“(v)     “FCCR Trigger Event” shall mean the date that Lender shall have received a certificate, executed and delivered by a senior financial officer of Borrower Representative, certifying to Lender that Loan Parties have achieved a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, on a consolidated basis, measured on monthly basis from the date hereof utilizing a rolling average of actual monthly results and expressed on an annualized basis, equal to or greater than 1.1 to 1.0.”

2.4              Termination.  Section 21(a) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“(a)         Unless sooner terminated by Lender as a result of the occurrence of  an Event of Default, Borrowers’ eligibility to request loans hereunder shall commence on the date hereof and shall continue for a period through and including February 28, 2020 (the “Term”).  If Borrowers desire to terminate this Agreement prior to the end of the Term, Borrowers shall give at least sixty (60) days prior written notice to Lender of Borrowers’ intention to do so and shall pay to Lender the termination charge set forth below.  Borrowers’ eligibility to request loans may be extended after the Term (and after any Renewal Term, as defined below) only with the express written consent of both Borrowers and Lender.  Any such extension (and any further extension) shall be made only with the express written consent of both Borrowers and Lender (each being a “Renewal Term”).  At the end of the Term (or at the end of a Renewal Term, if applicable), Borrowers shall pay the entire balance of the loans and all other outstanding Obligations.  Further, upon termination of this Agreement, all of the rights, interests and remedies of Lender and Obligations of Borrowers shall survive and Borrowers shall have no right to receive, and Lender shall have no obligation to make, any further loans.  Upon full, final and indefeasible payment of the Obligations to Lender, all rights and remedies of Borrowers and Lender hereunder shall cease, so long as any payment so made to Lender and applied to the Obligations is not thereafter recovered from or repaid by Lender in whole or in part in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding instituted by or against any Borrower, whereupon this Agreement shall be automatically reinstated without any further action by Borrowers and Lender and shall continue to be fully applicable to such Obligations to the same extent as though the payment so recovered or repaid had never been originally made on such Obligations.”
