FOURTH AMENDMENT TO LOAN DOCUMENTS

 

THIS FOURTH AMENDMENT TO LOAN DOCUMENTS is made and entered into as of December 20, 2013 by and between the Ohio Air Quality Development Authority ("Authority") of the State of Ohio (the "State"), and SCI Engineered Materials, Inc., an Ohio Corporation (the "Company"), under the circumstances summarized in the following recitals.

 

WHEREAS, the Company executed Loan Documents with the Authority on February 8, 2011 and with the meaning to include “all documents, instruments and agreements delivered to or required by the Authority to evidence or secure the Loan, including this Loan Agreement, as required by the Commitment and this Loan Agreement, as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented, restated or replaced from time to time” as set forth in the Loan Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, the Company has experienced certain slowness in market demand from the solar industry, causing delays in installing equipment for product production. Hence, the Market Conditions have impacted the ability of the Company to attain the employment levels expected in the Loan Documents so the Company does not expect to be in compliance with the job creation commitment defined in Section 4.1(a) of the Loan Agreement and has requested a waiver of that requirement; and

 

WHEREAS the Ohio Development Services Agency has granted a revision to the loan the Company has from that Agency to permit the payment of interest only for six months beginning in August, 2013 with the principal added on to the last payment in 2018.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the representations and agreements hereinafter contained, the Authority and the Company agree as follows:

 

AMEND the Loan Agreement dated February 8, 2011 as amended on February 28, 2012, April 10, 2012 and October 9, 2012 with additions as follows:

·The job creation commitment defined in Section 4.1(a) is waived, due to Market Conditions for the duration of the term of the Loan Agreement , and
·The forgiveness provision in Section 4.1(b) is eliminated and no longer available for this loan.

 

AMEND the Note dated February 8, 2011 as amended on February 28, 2012 and October 9, 2012 with the addition that the principal and interest on this Note shall be paid in accordance with Schedule 2 attached hereto.

 

This Fourth Amendment to Loan Documents and the Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between the Authority and the Company and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.

 

Except as set forth in this Amendment, the Loan Documents are unaffected and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. If there is conflict between this amendment and the Loan Documents, the terms of this amendment will prevail. No other provision of the Loan Documents will be modified due to not meeting the job creation terms. This Amendment and the Loan Documents (including any written amendments thereto), collectively, are the complete agreement of the parties and supersede any prior agreements or representations, whether oral or written, with respect thereto.
