This First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”), dated June 30, 2014, is by and among ALTEVA, INC., a New York corporation (f/k/a Warwick Valley Telephone Company) (the “Borrower”), each lender from time to time party to the Credit Agreement (defined below) (collectively, the “Lenders” and individually, a “Lender”) and TRISTATE CAPITAL BANK, a Pennsylvania state chartered bank, as Agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”).

 

BACKGROUND

 

A.            Pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement, by and among the parties hereto, dated as of March 11, 2013 (the “Credit Agreement”), the Lenders agreed, inter alia, to extend to the Borrower a $17,000,000 revolving credit facility, expiring on June 30, 2014.

 

B.            In May of 2013 the Borrower and the Guarantors each changed their legal names, to those names set forth on the signature pages hereto.

 

C.            On June 1, 2014, by email correspondence, the parties reduced the Commitment under the Credit Agreement to $5,000,000.

 

D.            On September 1, 2013, Alteva of Syracuse, Inc. (f/k/a USA Datanet, Inc.) (“Syracuse”), sold certain of its assets pursuant to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated September 1, 2013 by and between Whole Sale Carrier Services, Inc., a Florida corporation, and Syracuse (the “Purchase Agreement”).

 

E.             The Borrower has requested an 100 day extension of Expiration Date, which the Agent and Lenders are willing to provide subject to the terms and condition hereof.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.              Definitions.

 

(a)         General Rule.  Except as expressly set forth herein, all capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement.

 

(b)         Amended Defined Terms. The following definitions appearing in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows::

 



 

Expiration Date”: October 8, 2014.

 

LIBOR Rate”:  For each Interest Period, a rate per annum (based on a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) equal to the rate per annum obtained by dividing (x) the rate of interest (which shall be the same for each day in such Interest Period) determined by the Agent in accordance with its usual procedures to be the rate at which Dollar deposits are offered by leading banks in the London interbank deposit market two (2) LIBOR Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period in an amount approximately equal to the then outstanding principal amount of the Loans for the designated Interest Period, as quoted by ICE Benchmark Administration (“ICE”) or any successor thereto as approved by the Agent if ICE is no longer making a LIBOR rate quotation available (an “Alternate Source”), and as published as the “London Interbank Offered Rate” by Bloomberg (or if, at any time, for any reason, such rate is no longer published by Bloomberg or provided by ICE or any Alternate Source, a comparable replacement rate determined by the Agent at such time) by (y) a number equal to 1.00 minus the LIBOR Reserve Percentage.  The LIBOR Rate shall be calculated in accordance with the foregoing whether or not any Lender is actually required to hold reserves in connection with its Eurocurrency funding or, if required to hold such reserves, whether or not it is required to hold reserves at the “LIBOR Reserve Percentage”.  The LIBOR Rate shall be adjusted automatically as of the effective date of each change in the LIBOR Reserve Percentage.

 

2.              Amendment to Annex 1. The reference on Annex 1, setting forth the “Commitments” under the Credit Agreement, to the $17,000,000 Commitment of TriState Capital Bank is hereby amended to read “$5,000,000”.

(except as may be limited by applicable insolvency, bankruptcy, moratorium, reorganization, or other similar laws affecting enforceability of creditors’ rights generally and the availability of equitable remedies);

 

(c)          No Violations of Law or Agreements.  The making and performance of the First Amendment will not violate any provisions of any law or regulation, federal, state, local, or foreign, or its organizational documents, or result in any breach or violation of, or constitute a default or require the obtaining of any consent under, any agreement or instrument by which it or its property may be bound;

 

(d)         No Default.  No Potential Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and

6.              No Waiver; Ratification.  The execution, delivery and performance of this First Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Agent under the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document, or constitute a waiver of any provision thereof (other than any requirement for prior consent with respect to the sale of assets under the Purchase Agreement).  Except as expressly modified hereby, all terms, conditions and provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed by the Borrower.  Nothing contained herein constitutes an agreement or obligation by the Agent or the Lenders to grant any further amendments to any of the Loan Documents.
