3. DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE IN TERMS.

 

  A. Modification to Loan Agreement.

 

  1 The Loan Agreement shall be amended by deleting the following appearing as Section 2.1.1(g) thereof:

 

  “(g) Maturity. All Obligations outstanding hereunder shall be immediately due and payable on (i) with respect to Obligations in connection with Advances, the Maturity Date and (ii) with respect to Obligations in connection with the Term Advance, the Term Loan Maturity Date.”

 

    and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

 

  “(g) Maturity. All Obligations outstanding hereunder shall be immediately due and payable on (i) with respect to Obligations in connection with Advances, the Maturity Date, (ii) with respect to Obligations in connection with the Term Advance, the Term Loan Maturity Date and (iii) with respect to Obligations in connection with the Term Advance #2, the Term Loan #2 Maturity Date.”

 

  2 The Loan Agreement shall be amended by inserting the following new Section 2.1.3, appearing immediately after Section 2.1.2 thereof:
 

2.1.3 Term Loan #2.

 

(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, after the occurrence of the 2011 Equity Event but prior to the expiration of the Draw Period, Borrower may request, and Bank shall make, one (1) term loan in an aggregate amount equal to Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000.00) (the “Term Advance #2”).

 

(b) Repayment.

 

(i) Commencing on the first calendar day of the month following the month in which the Funding Date for the Term Advance #2 occurs (or commencing on such Funding Date if such Funding Date is the first calendar day of the month), and continuing on the first calendar day of each month thereafter, Borrower shall make monthly payments of interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.1.3(e).

 

(ii) Commencing on the Term Advance #2 Amortization Date, and continuing on the first calendar day of each month thereafter, Borrower shall repay the Term Advance #2 in (A) thirty six (36) equal monthly installments of principal, plus (B) monthly payments of accrued and unpaid interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.1.3(e) (each, a “Term Loan #2 Payment”). Borrower’s final Term Loan #2 Payment, due on the Term Loan #2 Maturity Date, shall include all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the Term Advance #2. Once repaid, the Term Advance #2 may not be reborrowed.

 

(c) Mandatory Prepayment Upon an Acceleration. If the Term Advance #2 is accelerated following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank an amount equal to the sum of (i) all outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid interest, (ii) the Term Advance #2 Prepayment Premium, and (iii) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable, including interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts.

 

(d) Permitted Prepayment. Borrower shall have the option to prepay the Term Advance #2 (including partial prepayments), provided Borrower (i) delivers written notice to Bank of its election to prepay the Term Advance #2 at least three (3) days prior to such prepayment, and (ii) pays, on the date of such prepayment (A) the amount of outstanding principal elected to be prepaid plus all accrued and unpaid interest, (B) the Term Advance #2 Prepayment Premium, and (C) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable, including interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank agrees to waive the Term Advance #2 Prepayment Premium with respect to a prepayment if Bank agrees to refinance and redocument the Term Advance #2 under another division of Bank (in its sole and exclusive discretion) prior to the Term Loan #2 Maturity Date.

 

(e) Interest.

 

(i) Interest Rate. Subject to Section 2.1.3(e)(ii), the principal amount outstanding under the Term Advance #2 shall accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to the Applicable Rate, which interest shall be payable monthly.

 

(ii) Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Obligations in connection with the Term Advance #2 shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Fees and expenses which are required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Bank Expenses) but are not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to the Obligations. Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.1.3(e)(ii) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Bank.

 

(iii) Adjustment to Interest Rate. Changes to the interest rate of the Term Advance #2 based on changes to the Prime Rate shall be effective on the effective date of any change to the Prime Rate and to the extent of any such change.

 

(iv) Computation; 360-Day Year. In computing interest, the date of the making of the Term Advance #2 shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if the Term Advance #2 is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on the Term Advance #2. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

 

(f) Borrowing Procedure. Subject to the prior satisfaction of all other applicable conditions to the making of the Term Advance #2 set forth in this Agreement, to obtain the Term Advance #2, Borrower shall notify Bank (which notice shall be irrevocable) by electronic mail, facsimile, or telephone by 12:00 p.m. Eastern time on or prior to the Effective Date. Together with any such electronic or facsimile notification, Borrower shall deliver to Bank by electronic mail or facsimile a completed Payment/Advance Form executed by a Responsible Officer or his or her designee. Bank may rely on any telephone notice given by a Person whom Bank believes is a Responsible Officer or designee.”

 

  3 The Loan Agreement shall be amended by deleting the following text appearing in Section 2.2.2 thereof:

 

“The Working Capital Line Fee and the Term Advance Fee are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Loan Fees”.”

 

    and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

 

  “ (c) A fully earned, non-refundable term loan fee of Twelve Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($12,500.00) is earned, due and payable upon Borrower’s request for the Term Advance #2 and, in any case, as a condition precedent to funding of Term Advance #2 (the “Term Advance #2 Fee”).

  4 The Loan Agreement shall be amended by inserting the following text appearing at the end of Section 2.3.1(b)(ii) thereof:

For sake of clarity, (x) notwithstanding the prior sentence, Borrower may not request, and Bank has no obligation to make, any new Advances based on Borrower’s unrestricted and unencumbered cash at Bank, (y) the provision in the immediately preceding sentence shall be ineffective as of August 1, 2011 and thereafter, at which time any such overadvance needs to immediately be repaid in full in cash and (z) nothing herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default arising from the actions resulting in such overadvance (other than the actual overadvance).”

 

  5 The Loan Agreement shall be amended by deleting the following text appearing in Section 2.3.2 thereof:

 

  “The demand may, at Bank’s option, include the Term Advance, the Advance for each Financed Receivable then outstanding and all accrued Finance Charges, the Early Termination Fee, Collateral Handling Fees, Loan Fees, interest, attorneys’ and professional fees, court costs and expenses, and any other Obligations.”
