THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT AND REVOLVING CREDIT NOTES (this “Amendment”) is made as of the 31st day of December, 2003 by and among MTC TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (“MTCT”), MTC TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (formerly known as MODERN TECHNOLOGIES CORP.), an Ohio corporation (together with MTCT, collectively, “Borrowers” and, individually, each a “Borrower”); the financial institutions listed on Schedule 1 to the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Banks” and, individually, each a “Bank”); and NATIONAL CITY BANK, as lead arranger and administrative agent for the Banks (“Agent”) under the following circumstances:

 

A. The Borrowers, the Agent and the Banks are parties to a Credit Agreement dated as of January 31, 2003 (as the same may be amended, supplemented, modified and/or restated from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to those terms by the Credit Agreement.

 

B. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Banks have provided the Revolving Loans to the Borrowers which are evidenced by Revolving Credit Notes dated as of January 31, 2003 (collectively, as the same may be amended, supplemented, modified and/or restated from time to time, the “Original Revolving Credit Notes”).

 

C. The Borrowers, the Agent and the Banks now desire to amend the Credit Agreement and the Original Revolving Credit Notes for the reasons and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the Borrowers, the Agent and the Banks agree as follows:

 

Section 1. Amendment to Credit Agreement.

 

(a) Amendment to Preamble. Subsection (b) of the Preamble to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

 

(b) and MTC TECHNOLOGIES, INC., formerly known as MODERN TECHNOLOGIES CORP., an Ohio corporation, (together with MTCT, collectively, “Borrowers” and, individually, each a “Borrower”);


(b) Amendment to Article I. Article I to the Credit Agreement is amended by adding the following new Section 1.4 immediately following Section 1.3:

 

1.4 USA Patriot Act Notification. The following notification is provided to the Borrowers pursuant to Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act of 2001, 31 U.S.C. Section 5318:

 

(a) IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or entity that opens an account, including any deposit account, treasury management account, loan, other extension of credit, or other financial services product. What this means for the Borrowers: When a borrower opens an account, if borrower is an individual, the applicable bank will ask for borrower’s name, taxpayer identification number, residential address, date of birth and other information that will allow such bank to identify borrower, and, if borrower is not an individual, such bank will ask for borrower’s name, taxpayer identification number, business address, and other information that will allow such bank to identify borrower. The bank may also ask, if borrower is an individual, to see borrower’s driver’s license or other identifying documents, and, if borrower is not an individual, to see borrower’s legal organizational documents or other identifying documents.

 

(b) Government Regulation. The Borrowers shall not (a) be or become subject at any time to any law, regulation, or list of any government agency (including, without limitation, the U.S. Office of Foreign Asset Control list) that prohibits or limits the Agent or Banks from making any advance or extension of credit to the Borrowers or from otherwise conducting business with the Borrowers, or (b) fail to provide documentary and other evidence of the borrower identity as may be requested by Agent or Banks at any time to enable Agent or Banks to verify the Borrowers’ identity or to comply with any applicable law or regulation, including, without limitation, Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act of 2001, 31 U.S.C. Section 5318.

 

(c) Amendment to Section 1.1. Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the current definitions of “Capital Distribution”, “Maximum Commitment Amount” and “Total Commitment Amount” and replacing them with the following new definitions:

 

“Capital Distribution” shall mean a payment made, liability incurred or other consideration given by any Company to any Person that is not a Company, for the purchase, acquisition, redemption, repurchase or retirement of any capital stock or other equity interest of such Company or as a dividend, return of capital or other distribution in respect of such Company’s capital stock or other equity interest, but shall not include the following: (a) any stock dividend, stock split or other equity distribution payable only in capital stock or other equity of such Company, (b) any transaction pursuant to the 2002 Equity and Performance

 

2


Incentive Plan of the Borrowers, (c) any dividend, return of capital or other distribution in respect of such Company’s capital stock or other equity interest so long as such Company shall have demonstrated to the satisfaction of Agent no less than 5 Business Days prior to such distribution, evidence satisfactory to Agent of compliance with the following: (i) no Default or an Event of Default shall then exist, or immediately after giving effect to any such distribution would exist, and (ii) the Leverage Ratio shall be less than 1.50 to 1.00 both prior to and immediately after giving effect to any such distribution.

 

“Maximum Commitment Amount” shall mean Eighty Million Dollars ($80,000,000), or such other amount as shall be determined pursuant to Section 2.11 hereof.

 

“Total Commitment Amount” shall mean Fifty-Five Million Dollars ($55,000,000), as such amount may be increased up to the Maximum Commitment Amount pursuant to Section 2.11(b) hereof, or decreased pursuant to Section 2.11(a) hereof.

 

(d) Amendment to Section 2.11(b). Section 2.11(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to provide as follows:

 

(b) Increase in Commitment. At any time during the Commitment Increase Period, Administrative Borrower may request that Agent increase the Total Commitment Amount to the Maximum Commitment Amount by either (i) increasing, for one or more Banks, with and subject to their prior written consent, their respective Revolving Credit Commitments, or (ii) with and subject to the prior written consent of Agent, including one or more Additional Banks, each with a new Revolving Credit Commitment, as a party to this Agreement (collectively, the “Additional Commitment”). During the Commitment Increase Period, the Banks agree that Agent, in its sole discretion, may permit one or more Additional Commitments upon satisfaction of the following requirements: (A) each Additional Bank, if any, shall execute an Additional Bank Assumption Agreement, (B) Agent shall provide to each Bank a revised Schedule 1 to this Agreement, including revised Commitment Percentages for each of the Banks, if appropriate, at least three Business Days prior to the effectiveness of such Additional Commitments (each an “Additional Bank Assumption Effective Date”), and (C) Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Agent and the Banks such replacement or additional Revolving Credit Notes as shall be required by Agent. The Banks hereby authorize Agent to execute each Additional Bank Assumption Agreement on behalf of the Banks. On each Additional Bank Assumption Effective Date, the Banks shall make adjustments among themselves with respect to the Revolving Loans then outstanding and amounts of principal, interest, commitment fees and other amounts paid or payable with respect thereto as shall be necessary, in the opinion of Agent, in order to reallocate among such Banks such outstanding amounts, based on the revised Commitment Percentages and to otherwise carry out fully the intent and terms of this subsection (b). It is a

 

3


condition precedent to Borrowers’ ability to request any increase in the Total Commitment Amount pursuant to this subsection (b) that Borrowers shall have demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Agent compliance with each of the following: (x) no Default or Event of Default shall then exist, or immediately after giving effect to any such increase would exist, and (y) MTCT shall have completed a secondary stock offering raising a minimum of $50,000,000 in additional equity. Borrowers shall pay any attorneys’ fees or other expenses of Agent in connection with the documentation of any such increase, as well as such other fees as may be agreed upon between Borrowers and Agent.

 

(e) Amendment to Section 5.7(f). Section 5.7(f) of the Credit Agreement shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows:

 

(f) Capital Expenditures. Borrowers will not make or commit to make Capital Expenditures exceeding 1.5% of annual Consolidated revenues of Borrowers in any fiscal year of Borrowers.

 

(f) Amendment to Section 5.13 of the Credit Agreement. Section 5.13 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows:

 

Section 5.13. Acquisitions. No Company shall effect an Acquisition; provided, however, that a Credit Party may effect an Acquisition so long as:

 

(a) in the case of a merger, amalgamation or other combination including a Borrower, such Borrower shall be the surviving entity;

(e) the entity which is the target of the Acquisition shall have projected Consolidated EBITDA for the first 12-month period following the closing of such Acquisition of not less than 10% of the total purchase price of such target (for purposes of this subsection (e), any reference to “MTCT” in the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” or in the definition of any defined term comprising such definition shall be a reference to the target of the Acquisition);

 

(f) no Default or Event of Default shall exist prior to or after giving effect to such Acquisition;

 

4


(g) Borrowers shall have provided to Agent and the Banks, at least ten (10) days prior to such Acquisition, historical financial statements of the target entity and a pro forma financial statement of the Companies accompanied by a certificate of a Financial Officer of a Borrower showing pro forma compliance with Section 5.7 hereof, both before and after the proposed Acquisition; and

 

(h) immediately after the consummation of such Acquisition, the amount equal to (i) the Total Commitment Amount minus (ii) the Revolving Credit Exposure shall be no less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000).

 

(g) Amendment to Schedule 1 to the Credit Agreement. Schedule 1 to the Credit Agreement shall be deleted and replaced with the new Schedule 1 attached hereto.

 

Section 2. Amendment to Original Revolving Credit Notes and Loan Documents.

 

(a) The “Revolving Credit Note” or “Revolving Credit Notes” referred to in the Loan Documents shall mean the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Notes in the form attached hereto as Exhibits A-1, A-2, A-3, and A-4 respectively.

 

(b) Each and every reference in the Loan Documents to “Modern Technologies Corp.” shall be a reference to “MTC Technologies, Inc.”
