Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings given them in the Credit Agreement. |
| |
B. | The Borrowers have requested the Lender to further amend the Credit Agreement as set forth herein, and the Lender is willing to agree to such amendment, all upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. |
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Recitals and the mutual agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
| | | |
| 1. | Amendments to the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows: | |
| | | |
| | a. | Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the Section in its entirety and substituting the following: |
| | | |
| | Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lender agrees to extend a revolving credit (the "Revolving Credit") to the Borrowers which may be availed of by the Borrowers from time to time during the period from and including the date hereof to but not including the Termination Date, at which time the commitments of the Lender to extend credit under the Revolving Credit shall expire. The maximum amount of Revolving Credit which Lender agrees to extend to the Cycle Country Iowa shall not exceed the lesser of (i) $2,000,000 (the "Revolving Credit Commitment"), or (ii) the Borrowing Base as determined on the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate. During the period from and including the date hereof to but not including the Termination Date, Cycle Country Iowa may use the Revolving Credit Commitment by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in part. |
1
| | | |
| | b. | Section 1.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the Section in its entirety and substituting the following: |
| | | |
| | Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Revolving Credit may be availed of by the Borrowers in the form of loans (individually a "Revolving Credit Loan" and collectively the "Revolving Credit Loans") to Cycle Country Iowa, as the operating company. Each Revolving Credit Loan shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000. Each advance made by the Lender of a Revolving Credit Loan shall be made against and evidenced by a Revolving Credit Note of the Borrowers using Lender's standard form (with appropriate insertions) (each, a "Revolving Credit Note" and together, the "Revolving Credit Notes")) payable to the order of the Lender in the principal amount stated thereon; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount set forth on the Revolving Credit Notes shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment. Each Revolving Credit Note shall be dated the date of issuance thereof, bear interest as set forth in Section 2 hereof, and mature on the Termination Date. Unless a Revolving Note sets forth a different time upon which interest is payable, interest on the Revolving Credit Notes shall be payable monthly on the 25th day of each month (commencing September 25, 2001) and at maturity of the Revolving Credit Notes (whether by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise). Interest after maturity shall be due and payable upon demand. Without regard to the principal amount of Revolving Credit Notes stated on the faces of such notes, the actual principal amount at any time outstanding and owing by the Borrowers on account of the Revolving Credit Notes shall be the sum of all advances theretofore made under this Section less all payments of principal actually received. | |
| | | |
| | As of the date of this Eighth Amendment, Lender has issued and there are now outstanding the following Revolving Credit Notes to Borrowers: Note # 5003694, issued on January 5, 2005 in the original principal amount of $1,000,000 and with an outstanding principal balance, as of the date of this Amendment, of $1,000,000; Note # 5005619, issued on July 16, 2010 in the original principal amount of $1,700,000 and with an outstanding principal balance, as of the date of this Amendment, of $408,30452. Lender and Borrowers agree that effective on the execution of this Amendment, and notwithstanding anything that may be set forth in any other document to the contrary: (i) the maximum principal amount available under Note # 5005619 shall be reduced from $1,700,000 to $1,000,000 (the reduction of available credit is reflected in the amended definition of Revolving Credit Commitment set forth in the Eighth Amendment); and (ii) the maturity date for Note # 5003694 and Note # 5005619 shall be the Termination Date (as amended by the Eighth Amendment). All amounts due and owing with respect to the Revolving Credit shall be due and payable on the Termination Date, unless due and payable sooner pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement. |
2
| | | |
| | c. | Section 4.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add the following new definitions thereto: |
| | | |
| | | "Eighth Amendment" means the Eighth Amendment to Secured Credit Agreement dated as of March 30, 2011, by and between the Borrowers and the Lender. |
| | | |
| | d. | The definition of "Termination Date" appearing in Section 4.1 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended in its entirety and as so amended shall be restated to read as follows: |
| | | |
| | | "Termination Date" means (i) June 1, 2011, if such day is a Business Day, but if not then the Business Day immediately proceeding such day, or (ii) such earlier date on which the Revolving Credit is terminated pursuant to Section 9 hereof. |
| | | |
| 2. | Representations. Without limiting the generality of Section 10.6 of the Credit Agreement or any other term or provision thereof and in addition thereto to the extent necessary, the Borrowers represent and warrant to the Lender as follows: (i) the covenants, representations and warranties of the Borrowers as set forth in the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment are hereby made again as of the date hereof and are true and correct in all respects as of the date hereof, (ii) as of the date hereof there is no Event of Default in existence, or any other act, omission, matter or other occurrence whatsoever which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would give rise to or constitute an Event of Default; (iii) each of the Borrowers has (a) full power, authority and legal right to own and operate all of its properties and assets and to carry on its respective business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted; and (b) all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and fully perform all of the terms and conditions of this Amendment and all other agreements, documents and instruments contemplated hereby; and (iv) each of the Borrowers shall (a) ensure, and cause any subsidiary to ensure, that no person who owns a controlling interest in or otherwise controls the Borrowers, any guarantor or any subsidiary of any of them is or shall be listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Person List or other similar lists maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC"), the Department of the Treasury or included in any Executive Orders, (b) not use or permit the use of the proceeds of the Loans to violate any of the foreign asset control regulations of OFAC or any enabling statute or Executive Order relating thereto, and (c) comply, and cause any subsidiary to comply, with all applicable Bank Secrecy Act laws and regulations, as amended.
