AMENDMENTS

2.1           Amendments. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

(a)        Section 1.1 – Definitions. The following definitions in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement are added or amended and restated, as applicable, as follows:

“Applicable Margin” means, with respect to Loans, Reimbursement Obligations, and the commitment/facility fees and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.11, until the first Pricing Date, the rates per annum shown opposite Level I below, and thereafter from one Pricing Date to the next the Applicable Margin means the rates per annum determined in accordance with the following schedule:

For purposes hereof, the term “Pricing Date” means, for any fiscal quarter of Borrower ending on or after December 31, 2018, the date on which Bank is in receipt of Borrower’s most recent financial statements (and, in the case of the year-end financial statements, audit report) for the fiscal quarter then ended, pursuant to Section 6.5. The Applicable Margin shall be established based on the Total Funded Debt/EBITDA Ratio for the most recently completed fiscal quarter and the Applicable Margin established on a Pricing Date shall remain in effect until the next Pricing Date. If Borrower has not delivered its financial statements by the date such financial statements (and, in the case of the year-end financial statements, audit report) are required to be delivered under Section 6.5, until such financial statements and audit report are delivered, the Applicable Margin shall be the highest Applicable Margin (i.e., Level I shall apply). If Borrower subsequently delivers such financial statements before the next Pricing Date, the Applicable Margin established by such late delivered financial statements shall take effect from the date of delivery until the next Pricing Date. In all other circumstances, the Applicable Margin established by such financial statements shall be in effect from the Pricing Date that occurs immediately after the end of the fiscal quarter covered by such financial statements until the next Pricing Date. Each determination of the Applicable Margin made by Bank in accordance with the foregoing shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank may, in its discretion, increase the Applicable Margin on any type of Loan by two percent (2%) per annum during the existence of an Event of Default.

“Second Amendment Date” means March 4, 2019.

“Term Loan Commitment” means the obligation of Bank to make the Term Loan on the Second Amendment Date in the principal amount of $20,000,000.

“Term Loan Termination Date” means March 4, 2026, or such earlier date on which the Term Loan Commitment is terminated in whole pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3.

“Section 2.1  Term Loan Commitment. On or about July 2, 2018, Bank made a loan (the “Term Loan”) in U.S. Dollars to the Borrower in the original principal amount of $35,000,000, at which time the original Term Loan Commitment (i.e., $35,000,000) expired. As of the Second Amendment Date, the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan is $10,849,015.29. On the Second Amendment Date, Bank agrees to make an additional advance on the Term Loan to the Borrower in the amount of $9,150,984.71. After giving effect to such additional principal advance on the Term Loan, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan on the Second Amendment Date will be equal to the Term Loan Commitment (i.e., $20,000,000), and such Term Loan shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. After giving effect to such additional principal advance on the Term Loan, no amount repaid or prepaid on the Term Loan may be borrowed again.”

“Section 7.12 Financial Covenants.

(a)         Total Funded Debt/EBITDA Ratio. As of the last day of each fiscal quarter of Borrower, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2019 and continuing for each successive fiscal quarter thereafter, Borrower shall not permit the Total Funded Debt/EBITDA Ratio to be greater than 3.00 to 1.00.

On or before March 4, 2019, the Borrower and two of its Subsidiaries, Mill-Log Equipment Co., Inc., an Oregon corporation, and Mill-Log Wilson Equipment Ltd., a Canadian corporation (collectively, “Mill-Log”), plan to: (a) enter into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Palmer Johnson Power Systems, a Wisconsin limited liability company (“PJPS”), whereby Mill-Log will sell substantially all of its assets and certain liabilities to PJPS; and (b) in the near future, wind up the businesses of Mill-Log and dissolve both entities (with (a) and (b) being collectively referred to herein as the “Disposition”). Pursuant to Section 7.4 of the Credit Agreement (and as set forth in various Loan Documents), the Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any Subsidiary to, be a party to any merger or consolidation, or sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or any part of its Property or to dissolve, unless otherwise permitted by the Bank in writing. The Borrower has requested that the Bank consent to the Disposition, so that no Default or Event of Default occurs under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document as a result of the Disposition. As such, the Bank hereby consents to the Disposition and acknowledges and agrees that no Default or Event of Default shall occur under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document as a result of the Disposition. In addition, pursuant to Section 2.8(b)(i) of the Credit Agreement, upon receipt by Borrower or Mill-Log of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Disposition, Borrower shall prepay the Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the amount of all such Net Cash Proceeds, with the amount of such prepayment to be applied first to the outstanding Term Loan until paid in full and then to the Revolving Loans. Notwithstanding the requirement set forth in Section 2.8(b)(i) of the Credit Agreement to apply such prepayment of the Net Cash Proceeds from the Disposition first to the outstanding Term Loan until paid in full and then to the Revolving Loans, the Bank hereby agrees to permit such prepayment of Net Cash Proceeds from the Disposition first to the outstanding Revolving Loans and then to the outstanding Term Loan. The foregoing limited waiver and consent shall be effective only for the specific purposes set forth in this Section 4.10 and shall not be deemed to be a further or continuing waiver, consent or amendment of any other section or provision of the Credit Agreement or a waiver of any other past or future Defaults or Events of Default under the Credit Agreement. Contemporaneously with the Disposition, the Bank hereby agrees to release all guaranties, stock powers, stock certificates and all other liens and security interests related to Mill-Log in the Bank’s possession and acknowledges that all obligations owed by Mill-Log to Bank are forever released and terminated contemporaneously with the Disposition.
