First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan Agreement between Tecstar, LLC and Foothill Capital Corporation

Summary

Tecstar, LLC and Foothill Capital Corporation have agreed to amend their existing loan and security agreement. The amendment changes certain financial terms, including advance rates and the maximum revolving loan amount, and adds new financial covenants regarding EBITDA levels for specified fiscal quarters. The amendment becomes effective once both parties sign, a waiver fee is paid, and no default exists. All other terms of the original agreement remain unchanged. The agreement is governed by Illinois law and binds both parties and their successors.
