This Loan Document Modification Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of this 29th day of September, 2015 by and between MIDDLESEX SAVINGS BANK, a Banking Corporation organized and existing under the laws of Massachusetts, of 6 Main Street, Natick, Massachusetts 01760 "Lender"), and Dynasil Corporation of America of 44 Hunt Street, Watertown, MA 02472 (the "Borrower"); and Optometrics Corporation of 8 Nemco Way, Ayer, MA 01432, Radiation Monitoring Devices, Inc. of 44 Hunt Street, Watertown, MA 02472, RMD Instruments Corp. of 44 Hunt Street, Watertown, MA 02472, Evaporated Metal Films Corp. of 239 Cherry Street, Ithaca, NY 14850 and Dynasil Biomedical Corp. of 44 Hunt Street, Watertown, MA 02472 (the "Guarantors").

 

Whereas, on May 1, 2014 Lender made a loan (the “Loan”) to Borrower evidenced by a Revolving Line of Credit Note dated May 1, 2014 from Borrower to Lender in the original principal amount of $4,000,000 (the "LOC Note"); and

 

Whereas, as security for the payment and performance of Borrower's obligations under the LOC Note, Borrower and Guarantors executed and delivered to Lender, (i) a Loan and Security Agreement dated May 1, 2014 between Borrower and Lender, (the “Loan Agreement”); and (ii) UCC-1 Financing Statements covering the Collateral described in the Loan Agreement and filed with the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, State of New York and State of Delaware (the "UCC-1 Financing Statements"); and (iii) Guaranties dated May 1, 2014 from the Guarantors to the Lender (the "Guaranties"); and (iv) a Stock Pledge Agreement by Borrower dated May 1, 2014 (the “Stock Pledge”); and (v) a Subordination Agreement dated as of May 1, 2014 given by Massachusetts Capital Resource Company (“MCRC”) to Lender (the “MCRC Subordination”) by which all debt of Borrower to MCRC (the “Junior Debt”) is subordinated to the Original Note. Collectively the Loan Agreement, the UCC-1 Financing Statements, the Guaranties, the Stock Pledge, and the MCRC Subordination are referred to, together with various other documents referred to therein, as the “Security Instruments”; and

 

Whereas, Borrower and Lender have agreed to amend the terms of the Loan by adding or modifying certain financial covenants; by Lender granting to Borrower consent to pay-down or pay-off a certain amount of the Junior Debt, and by adding an option on the part of Borrower to term out a certain amount of Advances made to Borrower under the LOC Note in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement; and

 

Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, it is hereby agreed as follows:

  

1.Anything contained in Sections 2 and 3 of the MCRC Subordination to the contrary notwithstanding, Lender hereby consents to the Borrower paying-down or paying off up to $3,000,000 of the Junior Debt, utilizing up to $2,000,000 of Advances under the LOC Note, subject to compliance with all of the terms and conditions of the Loan, including but not limited to the Borrowing Base set forth in Section 1.4 of the Loan Agreement.

2.At Borrower’s option, if, as and when Borrower achieves Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in new Section 4.9A of the Loan agreement as inserted below, of $2,850,000, and on the condition that Borrower is not in default of any of the terms and conditions of the Loan, including but not limited to the revised financial covenants set forth below, Borrower may convert up to $2,000,000 of outstanding Advances under the LOC Note to a new five year term note, in Lender’s standard form, bearing interest at the annual rate of (i) 4.5% fixed, if said option is exercised within sixty (60) days of the date of this Agreement; or otherwise (ii) the then applicable Federal Home Loan Bank Classic Advance Regular Rate for a five (5) year term plus three (3%) percent, to be rounded to the nearest one-eighth of one percentage point (0.125%). Upon such conversion, the terms of the Loan Agreement shall be deemed to have been modified and amended by renumbering Section 1.1.2 to 1.1.1 (and deleting the third, fourth and fifth paragraphs thereof) and inserting a new Section 1.1.2 as follows:

 

1.1.2 Term Loan. A Term Loan, evidenced by a Term Note in the original principal amount of Two Million and 00/100 ($2,000,000.00) Dollars (the "Term Note").

 

Such loan or loans together are referred to as the “Loan” or “Loans”, and such Line of Credit Note and the Term Note together are referred to as the "Notes", as such Notes may be modified, extended, and/or amended from time to time.

 

The Borrower agrees to repay to the Lender all advances (each, an "Advance"), whether pursuant to the Notes or otherwise, all of which, together with all other indebtedness, liabilities and commitments which the Borrower owes to the Lender, whether (a) arising under this Agreement or otherwise, (b) now existing or hereafter arising, or (c) direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, joint or several, due or not due, are referred to as the "Obligation(s)."

 

The Loans are being made upon the terms contained in this Agreement, the Notes, and any other Security Instrument (as defined herein), the terms of which are incorporated herein.
