    (Effective Date)
1. PROMISE TO PAY. On or before October 1, 2013 (the “Maturity Date”), the undersigned, Streamline Health, Inc., an Ohio corporation located at 10200 Alliance Road Suite 200, Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio 45242 (“Borrower”) for value received, hereby promises to pay to the order of Fifth Third Bank, an Ohio banking corporation located at 38 Fountain Square Plaza, Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio 45263 for itself and as agent for any affiliate of Fifth Third Bancorp (together with its successors and assigns, the “Lender”) the sum of Three Million and 00/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00) or such lesser amount as may be outstanding hereunder from time to time, (the amount outstanding hereunder referred to as the “Borrowing”), plus interest as provided herein, less such amounts as shall have been repaid in accordance with this Amended and Restated Revolving Note (this “Note”). The outstanding balance of this Note shall appear on a supplemental bank record and is not necessarily the face amount of this Note, which record shall evidence the balance due pursuant to this Note at any time.
Principal and interest payments shall be initiated by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Note from Borrower’s account through Auto BillPayer. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to initiate such payments from Borrower’s account located at Fifth Third Bank, routing number ###-###-#### account number ********. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that use of Auto BillPayer shall be governed by the Auto BillPayer Terms and Conditions, a copy of which Borrower acknowledges receipt. Borrower further acknowledges and agrees to maintain payments hereunder through Auto BillPayer throughout the term of this Note. Each payment hereunder shall be applied in the following order: accrued interest, principal, fees, charges and advanced costs.
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of Borrower herein, Lender hereby extends to Borrower a line of credit facility pursuant to which Lender, in its reasonable discretion, may make loans hereunder to Borrower, on a revolving basis and upon Borrower’s request from time to time during the term of this Note (each, a “Revolving Loan”), provided that: (a) the aggregate principal amount borrowed hereunder at any time shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Revolving Commitment in effect from time to time, or (ii) the Borrowing Base (as defined below) and (b) no Event of Default shall exist or be caused thereby. Lender may create and maintain reserves from time to time based on such credit and collateral considerations as Lender may deem appropriate. Borrower may borrow, prepay, in whole or in part, and reborrow hereunder; provided that, in the event that the principal amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding at any one time under this Note shall exceed the foregoing limits, Borrower shall immediately repay the amount of such excess to Lender in cash. In the event Borrower fails to pay such excess, Lender may, in its discretion, setoff such amount against Borrower’s accounts at Lender.

 

 


 

Borrower may request a Revolving Loan by written notice to Lender, via facsimile transmission, electronic mail or otherwise, no later than 10:00 a.m. local time on the date Borrower shall request that such Revolving Loan be advanced, which written request shall include a Borrowing Base Certificate certified by the Borrower or financial officer of Borrower that sets forth the calculation of the Borrowing Base as of such date if requested or required by Lender. Lender shall make each Revolving Loan by crediting the amount thereof to Borrower’s account at Lender.
The entire principal balance, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and any other charges, advances and fees, if any, outstanding hereunder, and all other Obligations which are then due and payable, shall be due and payable in full on the earlier of the Maturity Date or upon acceleration of the Note.
The principal balance outstanding hereunder, shall bear interest from the date of the first advance until paid at an annual floating rate of interest equal to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate (as defined below) in effect from time to time plus three and one-quarter percent (3.25%).
Borrower will pay to Lender any loss, cost or expense incurred in connection with (a) the failure of any Revolving Loan to be made as requested by Borrower and (b) the pre-payment or re-payment of any Revolving Loan at any time other than on the 1st day of any month or on the Maturity Date.
If, because of the introduction of or any change in, or because of any judicial, administrative, or other governmental interpretation of, any law or regulation, there shall be any increase in the cost to Lender of making, funding, maintaining, or allocating capital to any advance bearing interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, including a change in Reserve Percentage (as defined below), then Borrower shall, from time to time upon demand by Lender, pay to Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate Lender for such increased cost.
If Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower, absent manifest error) (i) that dollar deposits are not generally available at such time in the London Interbank Market for deposits in dollars, (ii) that the rate at which such deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of maintaining an Adjusted LIBOR Rate for the Revolving Loan due to circumstances affecting the London Interbank Market generally, (iii) that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining an Adjusted LIBOR Rate, (iv) that an Adjusted LIBOR Rate would be in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower may by law pay or (v) if a default or Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then, in any such event, Lender shall so notify Borrower and all portions of the advances bearing interest at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate that are so affected shall, as of the date of such notification, bear interest at the Base Rate until such time as the situations described herein are no longer in effect.

 

2


 

If, because of the introduction of or any change in, or because of any judicial, administrative, or other governmental interpretation of, any law or regulation, it becomes unlawful for Lender to make, fund, or maintain any advance at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, then (a) Lender shall notify Borrower that Lender is no longer able to maintain the interest rate at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate and (b) the interest rate for the Revolving Loan shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate. Thereafter, the Revolving Loan shall bear interest at the Base Rate until such time as the situation described herein is no longer in effect.
The interest rate charged hereunder with respect to any Revolving Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate will change automatically upon each change in the Prime Rate.
Accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable monthly during the term hereof. Interest will be calculated based on a 360-day year and charged for the actual number of days elapsed. Any amount not paid when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, will bear interest (computed and adjusted in the same manner, and with the same effect, as interest hereon prior to maturity) payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate (as defined below), until paid, and whether before or after the entry of judgment hereon.
Accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable monthly commencing May 1, 2011 and continuing on the first (1st) day of each calendar month thereafter during the term hereof. Accrued and unpaid interest on the Prior Note shall be due and payable on May 1, 2011.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Note, in no event shall the interest rate charged on the Borrowing exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable state and/or federal usury law. Any payment of interest that would be deemed unlawful under applicable law for any reason shall be deemed received on account of, and will automatically be applied to reduce, the principal sum outstanding and any other sums (other than interest) due and payable to Lender under this Note, and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for the highest rate of interest permitted under applicable law.
2. USE OF PROCEEDS. Borrower certifies that the proceeds of this loan are to be used for working capital and business purposes.
3. SECURITY AGREEMENT. To secure repayment of this Revolving Note and all other Obligations together with all modifications, extensions and renewals thereof, Borrower and Lender have entered into the Security Agreement. The rights of Lender in and to the Collateral are set forth in the Security Agreement.
4. RENEWAL. This Note is issued, not as a payment toward, but as a continuation of, the obligations of Borrower to Lender pursuant to that certain note dated October 21, 2009, in the principal amount of $2,750,000.00 (together with all prior amendments thereto or restatements thereof the “Prior Note”). Accordingly, this Note shall not be construed as a novation or extinguishment of, the obligations arising under the Prior Note, and its issuance shall not affect the priority of any security interest granted in connection with the Prior Note.

Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative, and may be exercised together, separately, and in any order. No delay on the part of Lender in the exercise of any such right or remedy shall operate as a waiver. No single or partial exercise by Lender of any right or remedy shall preclude any other further exercise of it or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No waiver or indulgence by Lender of any Event of Default shall be effective unless in writing and signed by Lender, nor shall a waiver on one occasion be construed as a waiver of any other occurrence in the future.
13. LATE PAYMENTS; DEFAULT RATE; FEES. If any payment is not paid when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or within 10 days thereafter, undersigned agrees to pay to Lender a late payment fee as provided for in any loan agreement or 5% of the payment amount, whichever is greater with a minimum fee of $20.00. After an Event of Default, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender a fixed charge of $25.00, or Borrower agrees that Lender may, without notice, increase the interest rate by three percentage points (3%) (the “Default Rate”), whichever is greater. Lender may impose a non-sufficient funds fee for any check that is presented for payment that is returned for any reason. In addition, Lender may charge loan documentation fees as may be reasonably determined by the Lender.
14. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. Borrower agrees that there are no conditions or understandings which are not expressed in this Note and the documents referred to herein.
15. SEVERABILITY. The declaration of invalidity of any provision of this Note shall not affect any part of the remainder of the provisions.
16. ASSIGNMENT. Borrower agrees not to assign any of Borrower’s rights, remedies or obligations described in this Note without the prior written consent of Lender. Borrower agrees that Lender may assign some or all of its rights and remedies described in this Note without notice to, or prior consent from, the Borrower.
17. MODIFICATION; WAIVER OF LENDER. The modification or waiver of any of Borrower’s obligations or Lender’s rights under this Note must be contained in a writing signed by Lender. Lender may perform Borrower’s obligations, or delay or fail to exercise any of its rights or remedies, without causing a waiver of those obligations or rights. A waiver on one occasion shall not constitute a waiver on another occasion. Borrower’s obligations under this Note shall not be affected if Lender amends, compromises, exchanges, fails to exercise, impairs or releases (i) any of the obligations belonging to any co-borrower, endorser or guarantor or (ii) any of its rights against any co-borrower, guarantor or endorser.
18. WAIVER OF BORROWER. Demand, presentment, protest and notice of dishonor, notice of protest and notice of default are hereby waived by Borrower, and any endorser or guarantor hereof. Each of Borrower, including but not limited to all co-makers and accommodation makers of this Note, hereby waives all suretyship defenses including but not limited to all defenses based upon impairment of Collateral and all suretyship defenses described in Section 3-605 of the Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”). Such waiver is entered to the full extent permitted by Section 3-605 (i) of the UCC.
