RECITALS

 

A.     The Company is seeking to amend the Credit Agreement to extend the term of the Credit Agreement, which extension would automatically extend the termination date of the Guaranties pursuant thereto.

C.     The Company and the Guarantors desire to amend the Agreement to change the form and timing of the payment to the Guarantors by the Company in connection with the extension of the Maturity Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

1.     Amendment of Additional Extension Fee. Section 1(b) of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and substituting the following therefor:

 

Additional Extension Fee. If the Maturity Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is extended to July 31, 2019, the Company shall cause to be paid to the Guarantors (i) a commitment fee equal to $168,750 in the aggregate (the “Additional Guaranty Amount”) and (ii) a monthly fee that shall accrue each calendar month during the term of the Guaranty equal to ten percent (10%) of the Additional Guaranty Amount divided by twelve (12) (the “Additional Monthly Fee”). The Guarantors shall be paid the percentage of the Additional Guaranty Amount and the Additional Monthly Fees as set forth on Exhibit A hereto. If payable, the Additional Guaranty Amount and the then accrued Additional Monthly Fee shall be payable in cash by the Company to the Guarantors in accordance herewith upon the termination or expiration of the Guaranties.”

4.     Amendment to Section 2(c). Section 2(c) of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and substituting the following therefor:

 

Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Payment Shares to be received by such Guarantor hereunder will be acquired for such Guarantor’s own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and such Guarantor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of the 1933 Act, without prejudice, however, to such Guarantor’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Payment Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by such Guarantor to hold the Payment Shares for any period of time. Neither such Guarantor nor any affiliate of such Guarantor is a broker-dealer registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or an entity engaged in a business that would require it to be so registered.”
