The Borrowers and the Lender are parties to a Third Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement dated as of December 30, 2005, (as amended to date and as the same may be hereafter amended from time to time, the "Credit Agreement").

The Borrowers have requested that certain amendments be made to the Credit Agreement, which the Lender is willing to make pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, it is agreed as follows:

1.   Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment which are defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the same meanings as defined therein, unless otherwise defined herein. In addition, Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is amended by adding or amending, as the case may be, the following definitions:

"Maturity Date" means, (i) with respect to the Term B Advances, June 30, 2009; provided, however if the Lender receives an updated valuation of the Mortgaged Property, as defined in each of the Factory Mortgage and the Farm Mortgage, acceptable to the Lender, in the Lender's sole discretion, "Maturity Date" with respect to the Term B Advances shall mean May 30, 2010, and (ii) with respect to all other Advances, June 30, 2011.

 

"Prepayment Factor" means one percent (1%) through and including June 30, 2009, and one half of one percent (0.50%) thereafter.

 

"Prior Year Capital Base" for a given fiscal year means the amount of Heska's Capital as of December 31 of the prior fiscal year, as reflected on Heska's internally prepared financial statements; provided, however that such amount shall adjust upwards or downwards, respectively on a dollar-for-dollar basis by an


amount equal to the amount by which Heska's Capital, as evidenced by Heska's audited balance sheet as of December 31 of such year, differs from the amount of Capital reflected on Heska's internally prepared financial statements for such date.

 

2.   Spread. Section 2.7 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

"Section 2.7    Spread. The spread (the "Spread") means the percentage set forth in the table below opposite the applicable prior-fiscal-year Net Income of the Borrowers, which percentage shall change annually effective as of the first day of the month following the month in which the Borrowers delivers to the Lender their audited financial statements for the prior fiscal year (amounts in parentheses denote negative numbers); provided, however, that in no case shall any decrease in the Spread occur during a Default Period:

"(b)     Audit Fees. The Borrowers shall pay the Lender fees in connection with any collateral exams, audits or inspections conducted by or on behalf of the Lender of any Collateral or the Borrowers' operations or business at the rates established from time to time by the Lender as its collateral exam fees (which fees are currently $125 per hour per collateral examiner), together with all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in conducting any such collateral examination or inspection; provided, however, that so long as no Default Period exists and average Availability (computed on a 90-day rolling average basis, as reasonably determined by the Lender) exceeds $2,000,000 the Lender will not demand reimbursement for more than two such collateral exams in any calendar year."
