WHEREAS, Borrowers have executed and delivered to Bank a Revolving Credit Note
dated September 15, 1995 (the "Note") in the original principal amount of
$6,500,000.00 in which each of the Borrowers promises to pay to the order of
Bank the principal amount and interest thereon as more specifically provided in
the Note; and
WHEREAS, to secure the repayment of the Borrowers' obligations under the Note,
each of the Borrowers has executed and delivered to Bank a Loan and Security
Agreement dated September 15, 1995 and various other instruments and documents
executed in connection therewith (collectively the "Loan Agreements"); and
WHEREAS, Borrowers and Bank executed a Loan Modification Agreement dated March
15, 1996 wherein the maximum amount of credit under the Note and the Loan
Agreements was increased to $9,500,000.00 and the Borrowing Base limitations
were modified in accordance with the terms thereof; and
WHEREAS, Borrowers have requested that the amount of credit availability under
the Note and the Loan Agreements be increased to an amount equivalent to One
Million ($1,000,000.00) Dollars in excess of the Borrowing Base limitations
currently in effect; and
WHEREAS, Bank has agreed to so increase the amount of credit availability under
the Note and the Loan Agreements through January 31, 1997.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten ($10.00) Dollars in hand paid and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. The foregoing recitals are incorporated herein by reference as though fully
set forth. Borrowers represent and warrant that the foregoing recitals are true
and correct.
2. The terms of the Note and the Loan Agreements are hereby modified to provide
that through and including January 31, 1997, the amount of credit available
under the Note and the Loan Agreements shall be an amount equivalent to One
Million ($1,000,000.00) Dollars in excess of the amount of the Borrowing Base
limitations set forth in the Loan Agreements as modified by the Loan
Modification Agreement dated March 15, 1996 (not to exceed, however,
$9,500,000.00 in the aggregate).
3. On February 1, 1997, the amount of credit available under the Note and the
Loan Agreements shall automatically revert to the Borrowing Base limitations set
forth in the Loan Agreements as modified by the Loan Modification Agreement
dated March 15, 1996, and Borrowers agree to repay such portions of the
outstanding principal balance as may be necessary in order to be in compliance
with such Borrowing Base limitations as of February 1, 1997. Borrower's failure
to make any such required payment shall constitute an Event of Default under the
Note and the Loan Agreements.
4. The terms of the Loan Documents (as such term is defined in the Loan
Agreements) are hereby amended and modified to comport with the terms of this
instrument to the extent the terms of any of the Loan Documents may be otherwise
inconsistent with the terms hereof. In all other respects, the terms and
provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.
5. Borrowers hereby reaffirm all of the terms, provisions, warranties, and
representations set forth in each of the Loan Agreements and the other Loan
Documents as modified hereby. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
each of the Borrowers warrants and represents that no event of default exists
under any of the Loan Agreements or any of the other Loan Documents and no event
has occurred or condition exists which with the passage of time or the giving of
notice would or could constitute an event of default.
6. Borrowers agree to promptly reimburse Bank for all attorney's fees and costs
incurred by Bank in connection with the negotiation, preparation, and execution
of this instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have entered into this Loan Modification
Agreement on the date first above written.
