FIFTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of June 30, 2008, by and between STARTEK, INC., a Delaware corporation and STARTEK USA, INC., a Colorado corporation (“Borrower”), and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Bank”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Borrower is currently indebted to Bank pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank dated as of June 30, 2003, as amended from time to time (“Credit Agreement”).

WHEREAS, Bank and Borrower have agreed to certain changes in the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement and have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement to reflect said changes.

NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree that the Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows:

1. Section 1.1 (a) is hereby deleted in its entirety, and the following substituted therefor:

"(a) Line of Credit . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank hereby agrees to make advances to Borrower from time to time up to and including June 30, 2009, not to exceed at any time the aggregate principal amount of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) (“Line of Credit”), the proceeds of which shall be used to finance Borrower’s working capital requirements, general corporate purposes, acquisitions and stock repurchases. Borrower’s obligation to repay advances under the Line of Credit shall be evidenced by a promissory note dated as of June 30, 2008 (“Line of Credit Note”), all terms of which are incorporated herein by this reference.”

2. The following is hereby added to the Credit Agreement as Section 1.2 (c):

“(c) Unused Commitment Fee . Borrower shall pay to Bank, for each fiscal quarter that Borrower’s Tangible Net Worth is less than $110,000,000, an unused commitment fee in an amount equal to one eighth of one percent (.125%) per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) of the average daily unused amount of the Line of Credit, which fee shall be calculated on a quarterly basis by Bank and shall be due and payable by Borrower in arrears within ten (10) days after each billing is sent by Bank.”

3. The following is hereby added to the Credit Agreement as Section 1.4:

“SECTION 1.4. COLLATERAL.

As security for all indebtedness and other obligations of Borrower to Bank subject hereto, Borrower hereby grants to Bank security interests of first priority in all Borrower’s accounts receivable, other rights to payment, and general intangibles.

 

 


 

All of the foregoing shall be evidenced by and subject to the terms of such security agreements, financing statements, deeds or mortgages, and other documents as Bank shall reasonably require, all in form and substance satisfactory to Bank. Borrower shall pay to Bank immediately upon demand the full amount of all charges, costs and expenses (to include fees paid to third parties and all allocated costs of Bank personnel), expended or incurred by Bank in connection with any of the foregoing security, including without limitation, filing and recording fees and costs of appraisals, audits and title insurance.”

4. Section 4.9 (a) is hereby deleted in its entirety, and the following substituted therefor:

“(a) Tangible Net Worth measured at the end of each fiscal quarter, with “Tangible Net Worth” defined as the aggregate of total stockholders’ equity plus subordinated debt less any intangible assets, not at any time less than $105,000,000.00 through December 31, 2007 and shall increase (but never decrease) at each subsequent fiscal quarter end by an amount equal to 25% of net income (but only if positive) for each fiscal quarter then ended.”

5. Bank is aware that Borrower is in breach of Section 4.9(b) of the Credit Agreement for the period ending June 30, 2008, which requires that Borrower not have a net loss for such period. Bank has decided to waive its default rights with respect to this breach for the period ending June 30, 2008. This waiver applies only to this specific instance. It is not a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same provision of the Agreement, nor is it a waiver of any breach of any other provision of the Agreement. Bank reserves all of the rights, powers and remedies available to Bank under the Credit Agreement and any related documents, including the right to cease making advances and the right to accelerate any indebtedness, if any subsequent breach of the same provision or any other provision of the Agreement should occur.

6. Section 4.9 (b) is hereby deleted in its entirety, without substitution.

7. Section 4.9 (c) is hereby renumbered as Section 4.9 (b).

8. Section 5.2 is hereby deleted in its entirety, and the following substituted therefor:

“SECTION 5.2. OTHER INDEBTEDNESS. Create, incur, assume or permit to exist any indebtedness or liabilities resulting from borrowings, loans or advances, whether secured or unsecured, matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, joint or several, that exceeds $5,000,000.00 in the aggregate during the term of the loan, except (a) the liabilities of Borrower to Bank, and (b) any other liabilities of Borrower existing as of, and disclosed to Bank prior to, the date hereof.”

9. Section 5.5 is hereby deleted in its entirety, and the following substituted therefor:

“SECTION 5.5. LOANS, ADVANCES, INVESTMENTS. Make any loans or advances to or investments in any person or entity in excess of $5,000,000.00 during the term of the loan, except any of the foregoing existing as of, and disclosed to Bank prior to, the date hereof. This excludes current trading or investment for sale portfolio.”

10. Section 5.7 is hereby deleted in its entirety, and the following substituted therefor:

“SECTION 5.7 PLEDGE OF ASSETS. Mortgage, pledge, grant or permit to exist a security interest in, or lien upon, all or any portion of Borrower’s assets now owned or hereafter acquired that exceeds $5,000,000.00 in the aggregate during the term of the loan, except any of the foregoing in favor of Bank or which is existing as of, and disclosed to Bank in writing prior to, the date hereof. Borrower shall allow no person or entity a security interest in, or lien upon, its accounts receivable or inventory without prior written consent of Bank.”

 

 


 

11. In consideration of the changes set forth herein and as a condition to the effectiveness hereof, immediately upon signing this Amendment, Borrower shall pay to Bank a non-refundable amendment fee of $5,000.00.

12. Except as specifically provided herein, all terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement remain in full force and effect, without waiver or modification. All terms defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the same meaning when used in this Amendment. This Amendment and the Credit Agreement shall be read together, as one document.

13. Borrower hereby remakes all representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and reaffirms all covenants set forth therein. Borrower further certifies that as of the date of this Amendment there exists no Event of Default as defined in the Credit Agreement, nor any condition, act or event which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute any such Event of Default.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to be executed as of the day and year first written above.
