WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend the Existing Credit Agreement as more fully set forth herein;

 

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

 

1.                                       Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Existing Credit Agreement are used herein as therein defined.

 

2.                                       Amendments to Existing Credit Agreement. The Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

 

(a)                                  Section 1 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the definition of “Applicable Rate” and substituting the following in lieu thereof:

 

“‘Applicable Rate’ means:

 

(a)                                  on any date prior to the Maturity Date on which no Event of Default exists, 11¼%; and

 

(b)                                 on any date on which any Event of Default exists or which is on or after the Maturity Date, 13¼%.”

 

(b)                                 Section 1 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following definition in alphabetical order:

 



 

“‘Third Amendment Effective Date’: the “Effective Date” as defined under Section 5 of the Third Amendment, dated as of October 14, 2005, to the Credit Agreement.”

 

(c)                                  Section 1 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the definition of “Maturity Date” and substituting the following in lieu thereof:

 

“‘Maturity Date’: November 22, 2005, provided that if the Company shall have paid at least $7,500,000 of principal, interest, premium and fees (other than the management fee described in Section 6.9.2.) owing under the Credit Agreement prior to October 31, 2005, the Maturity Date shall be November 30, 2005.”

 

(d)                                 The following Section 4.1.1. is hereby added following Section 4.1 of the Existing Credit Agreement:

 

“4.1.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) on October 31, 2005, the Company will pay to the Agent an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid premium, interest and fees (including, without limitation, the anniversary fee described in Section 3.3.2. as well as the management fee described in Section 6.9.2.) that is then due and payable and (ii) at all times from and including October 31, 2005 through the Maturity Date, the Company will pay to the Agent the maximum amount of outstanding principal on the Loan plus accrued and unpaid interest in respect of such principal amount of the Loan permitted to be repaid pursuant to Section 7.3(m)(vi)(C) of the Congress/CIT Loan and Security Agreement, and in any event in an amount sufficient such that no payment would be required to be made upon any exercise of the Put Option (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) so long as any amount of the Loan remains unpaid. The Company shall use its best efforts to manage its affairs so as to repay the Term Loan as promptly as possible and in accordance with clause (ii) above. Furthermore, the Company will provide to the Agent on a daily basis an accounting in reasonable detail of the Borrowing Base and the Excess Availability (each as defined in the Congress/CIT Loan and Security Agreement, but in the case of Excess Availability calculated without reference to clauses (a)(ii)(C) or (b)(ii)(C) of the definition of Excess Availability in the Congress/CIT Loan and Security Agreement).”

 

(e)                                  Section 6.5.7 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting from the table set forth therein the amount for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2005 and inserting “$36,500,000” in lieu thereof.

 

(f)                                    The following paragraph is hereby added to Section 6.9 following Section 6.9.10 of the Existing Credit Agreement:

 

“Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at least $7,500,000 of principal, interest, premium and fees (other than the management fee described in Section

 

2



 

6.9.2.) owing under the Credit Agreement has not been repaid by October 31, 2005, then from and after the Third Amendment Effective Date until the Loan and all accrued and unpaid interest, premium and fees and other Credit Obligations are repaid in full, neither the Company nor any of it Subsidiaries shall make any Distribution or other payment in respect of any management bonuses, profit-sharing arrangements or Net Worth Appreciation Agreements, to the extent payable to any employee that is a party to any employment agreement with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.”

 

3.                                       Representations and Covenants. (a) To induce the Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Amendment, the Borrower ratifies and confirms each representation and warranty set forth in the Credit Agreement as if such representations and warranties were made on even date herewith, and further represents and warrants that (i) no material adverse change has occurred in the financial condition or business prospects of the Borrower since the date of the last financial statements delivered to the Agent and the Lenders, (ii) after giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (iii) the Borrower is fully authorized to enter into this Amendment.

 

(b) The Borrower, the Agent and the Lender each agrees that if the Loan is not repaid in full: (i) on or prior to November 8, 2005, the Borrower shall pay a fee to the Agent in the amount of $25,000 on November 8, 2005, (ii) on or prior to November 15, 2005, the Borrower shall pay an additional fee to the Agent in the amount of $50,000 on November 15, 2005, and (iii) on or prior to November 22, 2005, the Borrower shall pay an additional fee to the Agent in the amount of $100,000 on November 22, 2005; provided that, if the Borrower, Agent and Lender shall within ten (10) Business Days following the date of this Amendment jointly determine in good faith that the amounts of such fees are in excess of the amounts which would be payable in accordance with current market practice for similar transactions, then the amounts of such fees shall be reduced to such amount consistent with such market practice; and provided, further, that if the Maturity Date shall have been extended in accordance with the proviso to the definition of “Maturity Date” (as amended in accordance with this Amendment), then the amount of such fees described above in this Section 3(b) shall be reduced by 50% and the fees payable pursuant to subclause (iii) hereof shall be payable instead on November 30, 2005. Such fees may be waived at the sole discretion of the Agent.

 

4.                                       Consent and Waiver. Notwithstanding anything in the Credit Agreement to the contrary, the Required Lenders hereby

In case any of the provisions of this Amendment shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Amendment shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

 

(c)                                  Execution in Counterparts.
