This Loan Document Modification Agreement (this "Agreement") is made as of this 16 day of May, 2017, by and between Middlesex Savings Bank, a banking corporation organized and existing under the laws of Massachusetts, of 6 Main Street, Natick, Massachusetts 01760 "Lender"), and Dynasil Corporation of America of 313 Washington Street, Suite 403, Newton, Massachusetts 02458 (the "Borrower"); and Optometrics Corporation of 8 Nemco Way, Ayer, Massachusetts 01432, Radiation Monitoring Devices, Inc. of 44 Hunt Street, Watertown, Massachusetts 02472, RMD Instruments Corp. of 44 Hunt Street, Watertown, Massachusetts 02472, Evaporated Metal Films Corp. of 239 Cherry Street, Ithaca, New York 14850, and Dynasil Biomedical Corp. of 44 Hunt Street, Watertown, Massachusetts 02472 (the "Guarantors").

 

Whereas, on May 1, 2014 Lender made a loan (the "Loan") to Borrower evidenced by a Revolving Line of Credit Note dated May 1, 2014 from Borrower to Lender in the original principal amount of Four Million ($4,000,000) Dollars (the "LOC Note"); and

 

Whereas, as security for the payment and performance of Borrower's obligations under the LOC Note, Borrower and Guarantors executed and delivered to Lender, (i) a Loan and Security Agreement dated May 1, 2014 between Borrower and Lender (the "Loan Agreement"); and (ii) UCC-1 Financing Statements covering the Collateral described in the Loan Agreement and filed with the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, State of New York and State of Delaware (the "UCC-1 Financing Statements"); and (iii) Entity Guaranty and Security Agreements, all dated May 1, 2014 from Guarantors to Lender (the "Guaranties"); and (iv) a Stock Pledge Agreement by Borrower dated May 1, 2014 (the "Stock Pledge"); and (v) a Subordination Agreement dated as of May 1, 2014 given by Massachusetts Capital Resource Company ("MCRC") to Lender (the "MCRC Subordination") by which all debt of Borrower to MCRC (the "Junior Debt") is subordinated to all Obligations of Borrower to Lender. Collectively, the Loan Agreement, the UCC-1 Financing Statements, the Guaranties, the Stock Pledge, and the MCRC Subordination are referred to, together with various other documents referred to therein, as the "Security Instruments"; and

 

Whereas, Borrower and Lender amended the terms of the Loan pursuant to a Loan Document Modification Agreement dated September 29, 2015, by adding or modifying certain financial covenants by Lender, granting to Borrower consent to pay-down or pay-off certain amounts of the Junior Debt, and by adding an option on the part of Borrower to term out a certain amount of Advances made to Borrower under the LOC Note; and

 

Whereas, Borrower and Lender further amended the terms of the Loan pursuant to a Second Amendment of Loan Agreement dated December 2, 2016, to (i) provide for Borrower to pay dividends under certain circumstances, (ii) make a distribution to Dynasil Biomedical Corp. to invest in Xcede Technologies, and (iii) modify the debt service coverage covenant; and

 

Whereas, Lender has agreed to extend an equipment line of credit to Borrower and to extend the Advance Period Termination Date for the Loan as described herein.

 

Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, it is hereby agreed as follows:

 

   

 

 

1.           The first paragraph of Section 1.1.2 of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety, and the following new first paragraph is substituted therefor:

 

"1.1.2         Revolving Line of Credit Loan. A Revolving Line of Credit Loan, evidenced by a Revolving Line of Credit Note dated May 1, 2014, allowing advances aggregating not more than Four Million and 00/100 ($4,000,000.00) Dollars (the 'Line of Credit Note'). The availability of Advances under the Revolving Line of Credit Loan shall expire on April 30, 2020, unless renewed by the Lender in writing. Such date, as it may be so extended, is referred to as the 'Advance Period Termination Date' upon which date all outstanding principal and unpaid interest shall become due and payable."

 

2.           The Loan Agreement is hereby amended to add the following new Section 1.1.3 thereto:

 

"1.1.3         Non-Revolving Equipment Line of Credit/Demand Loan. A Non-Revolving Equipment Line of Credit/Demand Loan evidenced by a Non-Revolving Equipment Line of Credit/Demand Note dated May 16, 2017, allowing advances aggregating not more than One Million ($1,000,000.00) Dollars (the 'Equipment Line of Credit Note'). Subject to the demand of Lender, the availability of credit under the Non-Revolving Equipment Line of Credit/Demand Loan shall expire on May 31, 2018, unless renewed by Lender in writing. Such Equipment Line of Credit Note and all Term Notes executed pursuant thereto, together are referred to as the 'Notes', as such Notes may be modified, extended and/or amended from time to time.

 

Borrower agrees to pay Lender all advances (each, an 'Advance'), whether pursuant to the Notes or otherwise, all of which, together with all other indebtedness, liabilities and commitments which Borrower owes to Lender, whether (a) arising under this Agreement or otherwise, (b) now existing or hereafter arising, or (c) direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, joint or several, due or not due, are referred to as the 'Obligation(s)'.

 

All advances under the Equipment Line of Credit Note are being made upon the terms contained in this Agreement, the Notes and any other Security Instruments (as defined herein), the terms of which are incorporated herein.

 

No Advance under the Equipment Line of Credit shall exceed eighty (80%) percent of the net purchase price (exclusive of any soft costs, transportation or installation charges) of new equipment or eighty (80%) percent of the Net Orderly Liquidation Value of used equipment. The term 'Net Orderly Liquidation Value' or 'NOLV' means the value of equipment that is estimated to be recoverable in an orderly liquidation of such equipment, stated at cost under a court authorized going out of business sale, net of liquidation expenses, such value to be as determined from time to time by Lender in its commercially reasonable discretion or by a qualified appraisal company selected by Lender (excluding all shipping and related soft costs) of the equipment, expenditures or improvements referred to therein."
