I. DEFINITIONS

      1.1 General Terms

     For purposes of this Agreement, in addition to the definitions above and elsewhere in this Agreement, the terms listed in Appendix A , Annex I.A. and Annex I.B. hereto shall have the meanings given such terms in Appendix A , Annex I.A. and Annex I.B. , which are incorporated herein and made a part hereof. All capitalized terms used which are not specifically defined herein shall have meanings provided in Article 9 of the UCC in effect on the date hereof to the extent the same are used or defined therein. Unless otherwise specified herein or in Appendix A , Annex I.A. or Annex I.B. , any agreement, contract or instrument referred to herein or in Appendix A , Annex I.A. or Annex I.B. , shall mean such agreement, contract or instrument as modified, amended, restated or supplemented from time to time. Unless otherwise specified, as used in the Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, instrument or other document made or delivered pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, all accounting terms not defined in Appendix A , Annex I.A. , Annex I.B. or elsewhere in this Agreement shall have the meanings given to such terms in and shall be interpreted in accordance with GAAP.

II. ADVANCES, PAYMENT AND INTEREST

      2.1 The Revolving Facility

     (a) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Lender shall continue the Existing Advances and make Advances to Borrower under the Revolving Facility from time to time during the Term, provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the aggregate amount of all Advances at any one time outstanding under the Revolving Facility shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the Facility Cap, or (b) the Availability. The Revolving Facility is a revolving credit facility, which may be drawn, repaid and redrawn, from time to time as permitted under this Agreement. Any determination as to whether there is Availability for Advances shall be made by Lender in its sole discretion and, absent demonstrable error, is final and binding upon Borrower. Unless otherwise permitted by Lender, each Advance shall be in an amount of at least $1,000. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Borrower may request Advances under the Revolving Facility up to and including the value, in U.S. Dollars, of the sum of:

2


 

 

(i)

 

Eighty-Five percent (85%) of the Borrowing Base for Eligible Billed Receivables;

 

 

(ii)

 

Sixty percent (60%) of the Borrowing Base for Eligible Nondeductible Unbilled Receivables;

 

 

(iii)

 

Sixty percent (60%) of the Borrowing Base for Eligible Deductible Unbilled Receivables; and

 

 

(iv)

 

the Inventory Availability; provided, however, that the Inventory Availability shall at no time exceed the lesser of (i) twenty-five percent (25%) of the Availability or (ii) the Inventory Cap in effect from time to time;

 

 

(v)

 

minus, the Availability Reserve and, if applicable, any other amounts adjusted or reserved pursuant to this Agreement (such calculated amount being referred to herein as the “Availability" ).

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any definition contained in Appendix A attached hereto to the contrary, in no event shall any Accounts or Inventory of National Pharmaceuticals be included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base or the Availability under this Agreement. Advances under the Revolving Facility automatically shall be made for the payment of interest on the Advances and the Term Loan and other Obligations on the date when due to the extent available and as provided for herein. The proceeds of Advances under the Revolving Facility shall be used by Borrower (i) as a provider of health care services, (ii) as a wholesaler, retailer and provider of medical supplies and services, (iii) for the generation of receivables/inventory, (iv) for the refinancing of existing indebtedness, (v) for payments to Lender hereunder, and (vii) for any other lawful purpose permitted under this Agreement.

     (b) Lender has established the above-referenced advance rate for Availability and, in its sole credit judgment, may further adjust the Availability and such advance rates by applying percentages (known as “liquidity factors”) to Eligible Receivables by payor class based upon Borrower’s actual recent collection history for each such payor class (i.e., Medicare, Medicaid, commercial insurance, etc.) and to Eligible Inventory in a manner consistent with Lender’s underwriting practices and procedures, including without limitation Lender’s review and analysis of, among other things, Borrower’s historical returns, rebates, discounts, credits and allowances (collectively, the “Dilution Items” ). Such liquidity factors and the advance rate for Availability may be adjusted by Lender throughout the Term as warranted by Lender’s underwriting practices and procedures in its sole credit judgment. Also, Lender shall have the right to establish from time to time, in its sole credit judgment, reserves against the Borrowing Base, which reserves shall have the effect of reducing the amounts otherwise eligible to be disbursed to Borrower under the Revolving Facility pursuant to this Agreement.

      2.2 Revolving Facility Maturity Date

     All amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility and other Obligations relating to Advances shall be due and payable in full, if not earlier in accordance with this Agreement, on the earlier of (i) the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default if required pursuant hereto or Lender’s demand upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, and (ii) the last day of the Term (such earlier date being the “Revolving Facility Maturity Date” ). The Revolving Facility shall be subject to extension for up to one year at the option of Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, upon written notice to Borrower at any time prior to the then applicable Revolving Facility Maturity Date.

      2.3 Revolving Facility Disbursements; Requirement to Deliver Borrowing Certificate

     So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower may give Lender irrevocable written notice requesting an Advance under the Revolving Facility by delivering to Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Standard Time) at least one (1) but not more than four (4) Business Days before the proposed borrowing date of such requested Advance (the “Borrowing Date” ), a completed Borrowing Certificate and relevant supporting documentation satisfactory to Lender, which shall (i) specify the proposed Borrowing Date of such Advance which shall be a Business Day, (ii) specify the principal amount of such requested Advance, (iii) certify the matters contained in Section 4.2 , and (iv) specify the amount of any Medicare or Medicaid recoupments and/or recoupments of any third-party payor being sought, requested or claimed, or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against Borrower or Borrower’s Affiliates. Each time a request for an Advance is made, and, in any event and regardless of whether an Advance is being requested, on Tuesday of each week during the Term (and so long as a Default or Event of Default exists, more frequently if Lender shall so request) until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in cash in full and this Agreement is terminated, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a Borrowing Certificate accompanied by a separate detailed aging and categorizing of Borrower’s accounts receivable and accounts payable and such other supporting documentation with respect to the figures and information in the Borrowing Certificate as Lender shall reasonably request from a credit or security perspective or otherwise. On each Borrowing Date, Borrower irrevocably authorizes Lender to disburse the proceeds of the requested Advance to the appropriate Borrower’s account(s) as set forth on Schedule 2.4 , in all cases for credit to the appropriate Borrower (or to such other account as to which the appropriate Borrower shall instruct Lender) via Federal funds wire transfer no later than 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time). Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the average outstanding balance under the Revolving Facility during any calendar month is less than Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) (the “ Minimum Balance ”), Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall be entitled to calculate interest and fees hereunder, including, without limitation, the calculations set forth in Sections 2.4, 3.1 and 3.5 , as if the average outstanding balance for such calendar month was Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000). Notwithstanding the requirement of Borrower delivering a Borrowing Certificate in connection with each requested Advance, Borrower may give Lender irrevocable written notice requesting an Advance under the Revolving Facility in an amount necessary to make the total outstanding Advances at such time equal Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000), and so long as (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) Lender has a Borrowing Certificate that is not more than four (4) Business Days before the proposed borrowing date of such requested Advance, subject to Availability, Lender shall disburse the proceeds of such requested Advance.

      2.4 Revolving Facility Collections; Repayment; Borrowing Availability and Lockbox

     Each Borrower shall maintain one or more lockbox accounts (individually and collectively, the “Lockbox Account” ) with one or more banks acceptable to Lender (each, a “Lockbox Bank” ), and shall execute with each Lockbox Bank one or more agreements acceptable to Lender (individually and collectively, the “Lockbox Agreement” ), and such other agreements related thereto as Lender may require. Each Borrower shall ensure that all collections of their respective Accounts and all other cash payments received by any Borrower, including CIGNA Receipts, are paid and delivered directly from Account Debtors and other Persons into the appropriate Lockbox Account. The Lockbox Agreements shall provide that the Lockbox Banks will transfer on the same Business Day all funds paid into the Lockbox Accounts into a depository account or accounts maintained by Lender or an Affiliate of Lender at such bank as Lender may communicate to Borrower and the applicable Lockbox Bank from time to time in accordance with the Lockbox Agreement (the “Concentration Account” ), except, with respect only to Accounts payable by Medicaid/Medicare Account Debtors, as instructed by the applicable Borrower to whom such Accounts are payable as permitted pursuant to the applicable Lockbox Agreement. Notwithstanding and without limiting any other provision of any Loan Document, Lender shall apply, on a daily basis, all funds transferred into the Concentration Account pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement and this Section 2.4 in such order and manner as determined by Lender. To the extent that any Accounts are collected by any Borrower or any other cash payments received by any Borrower are not sent directly to the appropriate Lockbox Account but are received by any Borrower or any of their Affiliates, such collections and proceeds shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender and immediately remitted (and in any event within two (2) Business Days), in the form received, to the appropriate Lockbox Account for immediate transfer to the Concentration Account. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that compliance with the terms of this Section 2.4 is an essential term of this Agreement, and that, in addition to and notwithstanding any other rights Lender may have hereunder, under any other Loan Document, under applicable law or at equity, upon each and every failure by any Borrower or any of their Affiliates to comply with any such terms Lender shall be entitled to assess a non-compliance fee which shall operate to increase the Applicable Rate by two percent (2.0%) per annum during any period of non-compliance, whether or not a Default or an Event of Default occurs or is declared, provided that nothing shall prevent Lender from considering any failure to comply with the terms of this Section 2.4 to be a Default or an Event of Default. All funds transferred to the Concentration Account for application to the Obligations under the Revolving Facility shall be applied to reduce the Obligations under the Revolving Facility, but, for purposes of calculating interest hereunder shall be subject to a five (5) Business Day clearance period. If as the result of collections of Accounts and/or any other cash payments received by any Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.4 a credit balance exists with respect to the Concentration Account, such credit balance shall not accrue interest in favor of a Borrower, but shall be available to Borrower upon Borrower’s written request. If applicable, at any time prior to the execution of all or any of the Lockbox Agreements and operation of all or any of the Lockbox Accounts, each Borrower and their Affiliates shall direct all collections or proceeds it receives on Accounts or from other Collateral to the accounts(s) and in the manner specified by Lender in its sole discretion.

      2.5 The Term Loan

     Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender extended the Term Loan to Borrower pursuant to the Third Restated Credit Agreement. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan as of April 30, 2009 is Three Million Forty Three Thousand Five Hundred Forty Six and 3/100 Dollars ($3,043,546.03). Lender hereby agrees to continue the Term Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Borrower acknowledges that it has no further right to request loans or advances under the Term Loan and that no portion of the Term Loan may be re-borrowed.

5


 

      2.6 Repayment of Term Loan; Maturity

     Payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan (in addition to the interest payments in Section 3.2 ) and all other amounts (other than interest) outstanding under the Term Loan shall be made as follows:

     (a) Commencing on the first day of the first calendar month following the Closing Date, and continuing on the first day of each calendar month thereafter, the then outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan shall be payable in consecutive monthly installments of $234,118.93 plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and, if not sooner paid, a final installment, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due and owing under this Agreement with respect to the Term Loan, shall be due and payable on April 30, 2010.

     (b) All Term Loan Obligations shall be due and payable in full, if not earlier in accordance with this Agreement, on the earlier of (i) the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default if required pursuant hereto or Lender’s demand upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, (ii) a Revolver Termination and (iii) April 30, 2010, the earlier of the foregoing (i), (ii) or (iii) being the “ Term Loan Maturity Date ”.

      2.7 Promise to Pay; Manner of Payment

     Borrower absolutely and unconditionally promises to pay principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder, or under any other Loan Document, without any right of rescission and without any deduction whatsoever, including any deduction for any setoff, counterclaim or recoupment, and notwithstanding any damage to, defects in or destruction of the Collateral or any other event, including obsolescence of any property or improvements. All payments made by Borrower (other than payments automatically paid through Advances under the Revolving Facility as provided herein), shall be made only by wire transfer on the date when due, without offset or counterclaim, in U.S. Dollars, in immediately available funds to such account as may be indicated in writing by Lender to Borrower from time to time. Any such payment received after 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the date when due shall be deemed received on the following Business Day. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due or shall become due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to, and such payment shall be made on, the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time in such case shall be included in the computation of payment of any interest (at the interest rate then in effect during such extension) and/or fees, as the case may be.

      2.8 Repayment of Excess Advances

     Any balance of Advances under the Revolving Facility outstanding at any time in excess of the lesser of the Facility Cap or the Availability shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower without the necessity of any demand, at the Payment Office, whether or not a Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing and shall be paid in the manner specified in Section 2.7 .

      2.9 Payments by Lender

     Should any amount required to be paid under any Loan Document be unpaid, such amount may be paid by Lender, which payment shall be deemed a request for an Advance under the Revolving Facility as of the date such payment is due, and Borrower irrevocably authorizes disbursement of any such funds to Lender by way of direct payment of the relevant amount, interest or Obligations. No payment or prepayment of any amount by Lender or any other Person shall entitle any Person to be subrogated to the rights of Lender under any Loan Document unless and until the Obligations have been fully performed and paid irrevocably in cash and this Agreement has been terminated. Any sums expended by Lender as a result of any Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s failure to pay, perform or comply with any Loan Document or any of the Obligations may be charged to Borrower’s account as an Advance under the Revolving Facility and added to the Obligations.

6


 

      2.10 Evidence of Loans

     (a) Lender shall maintain, in accordance with its usual practice, electronic or written records evidencing the Indebtedness and Obligations to Lender resulting from each Loan made by Lender from time to time, including without limitation, the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

     (b) The entries made in the electronic or written records maintained pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 2.10 (the “ Register ”) shall be prima facie evidence, absent manifest error, of the existence and amounts of the Obligations and Indebtedness therein recorded; provided however , that the failure of Lender to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the joint and several obligations of Credit Parties to repay the Loans or Obligations in accordance with their terms.

     (c) Lender will account to Borrower monthly with a statement of Advances under the Revolving Facility, and any charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement, and in the absence of manifest error, such accounting rendered by Lender shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive unless Lender is notified by Borrower in writing to the contrary within fifteen calendar days of Receipt of such accounting, which notice shall be deemed an objection only to items specifically objected to therein.

     (d) Borrower agrees that:

          (i) upon written notice by Lender to Borrower that a Note or other evidence of Indebtedness is requested by Lender to evidence the Loans and other Obligations owing or payable to, or to be made by, Lender, Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days of any such request) execute and deliver to Lender an appropriate Note or Notes in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender and Borrower;

          (ii) all references to Notes in the Loan Documents shall mean Notes, if any, to the extent issued (and not returned to Borrower for cancellation) hereunder, as the same may be amended, modified, divided, supplemented, extended or restated from time to time; and

          (iii) upon Lender’s written request, and in any event within three (3) Business Days of any such request, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender new Notes and divide the Notes in exchange for then existing Notes in such smaller amounts or denominations as Lender shall specify in its sole and absolute discretion; provided , that the aggregate principal amount of such new Notes shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding at the time such request is made; and provided, further, that such Notes that are to be replaced shall then be deemed no longer outstanding hereunder and replaced by such new Notes and returned to Borrower within a reasonable period of time after Lender’s receipt of the replacement Notes.

      2.11 Grant of Security Interest; Collateral

     (a) To secure the payment and performance in full of the Obligations, each Borrower hereby grants to Lender a continuing security interest in and Lien upon, and pledges to Lender, all of its right, title and interest in and to the following (collectively and each individually, the “ Collateral ”), which security interest is intended to be a first priority security interest:

          (i) all of such Borrower’s tangible personal property, including without limitation all present and future Inventory and Equipment (including items of equipment which are or become Fixtures), now owned or hereafter acquired or arising;

          (ii) all of such Borrower’s intangible personal property, including without limitation all present and future Accounts, contract rights, Permits, General Intangibles, Chattel Paper, Documents, Instruments, Deposit Accounts, Investment Property, Letter-of-Credit Rights, Supporting Obligations, rights to the payment of money or other forms of consideration of any kind, tax refunds, insurance proceeds, now owned or hereafter acquired, and all intangible and tangible personal property relating to or arising out of any of the foregoing;

          (iii) all of such Borrower’s present and future Government Contracts and rights thereunder and the related Government Accounts and proceeds thereof, now or hereafter owned or acquired by such Borrower; provided , however , that Lender shall not have a security interest in any rights under any Government Contract of such Borrower or in the related Government Account where the taking of such security interest is a violation of an express prohibition contained in the Government Contract (for purposes of this limitation, the fact that a Government Contract is subject to, or otherwise refers to, Title 31, § 203 or Title 41, § 15 of the United States Code shall not be deemed an express prohibition against assignment thereof) or is prohibited by applicable law, unless in any case consent is otherwise validly obtained; and

          (iv) any and all additions and accessions to any of the foregoing, and any and all replacements, products and proceeds (including insurance proceeds) of any of the foregoing.

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.11 , such grant of a security interest shall not extend to, and the term “Collateral” shall not include, any General Intangibles, now or hereafter held or owned by Borrower to the extent that (i) such General Intangibles are not assignable or capable of being encumbered as a matter of law or under the terms of any license or other agreement applicable thereto (but solely to the extent that any such restriction shall be enforceable under applicable law) without the consent of the licensor thereof or other applicable party thereto, and (ii) such consent has not been obtained; provided , however , that the foregoing grant of a security interest shall extend to, and the term “Collateral” shall include, each of the following: (a) any General Intangible which is in the nature of an Account or a right to the payment of money or a proceed of, or otherwise related to the enforcement or collection of, any Account or right to the payment of money, or goods which are the subject of any Account or right to the payment of money, (b) any and all proceeds of any General Intangible that is otherwise excluded to the extent that the assignment, pledge or encumbrance of such proceeds is not so restricted, and (c) upon obtaining the consent of any such licensor or other applicable party with respect to any such otherwise excluded General Intangible, such General Intangible as well as any and all proceeds thereof that might theretofore have been excluded from such grant of a security interest and from the term “Collateral.”

     (c) Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and upon the proper filing of the necessary financing statements, recordation of the Collateral Patent, Trademark and Copyright Assignment in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and/or the United States Copyright Office without any further action, Lender will have a good, valid and perfected first priority Lien and security interest in the Collateral, subject to no transfer or other restrictions or Liens of any kind in favor of any other Person except for Permitted Liens. No financing statement relating to any of the Collateral is on file in any public office except those (i) on behalf of Lender, (ii) in connection with Permitted Liens and/or (iii) those being terminated.

8


 

      2.12 Collateral Administration

     (a) All Collateral (except Deposit Accounts) will at all times be kept by Borrower at the locations set forth on Schedule 5.18B hereto and shall not, without thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice to Lender, be moved therefrom unless Lender has entered into the necessary documents to perfect and enforce its security interest therein at such new location, and in any case shall not be moved outside the continental United States.

     (b) Borrower shall keep accurate and complete records of its Accounts and all payments and collections thereon and shall submit such records to Lender on such periodic bases as Lender may request. In addition, if Accounts of Borrower in an aggregate face amount in excess of $30,000 become ineligible because they fall within one of the specified categories of ineligibility set forth in the definition of Eligible Receivables, Borrower shall notify Lender of such occurrence on the first Business Day following such occurrence and the Borrowing Base shall thereupon be adjusted to reflect such occurrence. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if requested by Lender, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender formal written assignments (or, in the case of Medicaid/Medicare Account Debtors, documents necessary to comply with the Federal Assignment of Claims Act) of all of its Accounts weekly or daily as Lender may request, including all Accounts created since the date of the last assignment, together with copies of claims, invoices and/or other information related thereto. To the extent that collections from such assigned accounts exceed the amount of the Obligations, such excess amount shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrower, but shall be available to Borrower upon Borrower’s written request.

     (c) Following an occurrence or during the continuance of an Event of Default, any of Lender’s officers, employees, representatives or agents shall have the right, at any time during normal business hours, in the name of Lender, any designee of Lender or Borrower, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts or Inventory of Borrower. Borrower shall cooperate fully with Lender in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude such verification process.

     (d) To expedite collection, Borrower shall endeavor in the first instance to make collection of its Accounts for Lender. Lender shall have the right at all times after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to notify (i) Account Debtors owing Accounts to Borrower other than Medicaid/Medicare Account Debtors that their Accounts have been assigned to Lender and to collect such Accounts directly in its own name and to charge collection costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, to Borrower, and (ii) Medicaid/Medicare Account Debtors that Borrower has waived any and all defenses and counterclaims it may have or could interpose in any such action or procedure brought by Lender to obtain a court order recognizing the collateral assignment or security interest and lien of Lender in and to any Account or other Collateral and that Lender is seeking or may seek to obtain a court order recognizing the collateral assignment or security interest and lien of Lender in and to all Accounts and other Collateral payable by Medicaid/Medicare Account Debtors.

     (e) As and when determined by Lender in its sole discretion but not more often than four (4) times per year prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Lender will perform the searches described in clauses (i) and (ii) below against Borrower (the results of which are to be consistent with Borrower’s representations and warranties under this Agreement), all at Borrower’s expense: (i) UCC searches with the Secretary of State of the jurisdiction of organization of each Borrower and Guarantor and the Secretary of State and local filing offices of each jurisdiction where each Borrower and/or any Guarantors maintain their respective executive offices, a place of business or assets; (ii) lien searches with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office; and (iii) judgment, federal tax lien and corporate and partnership tax lien searches, in each jurisdiction searched under clause (i) above.

9


 

     (f) Borrower (i) shall provide prompt written notice to its current bank to transfer all items, collections and remittances to the Concentration Account, (ii) shall provide prompt written notice to each Account Debtor (other than Medicaid/Medicare Account Debtors) that Lender has been granted a lien and security interest in, upon and to all Accounts applicable to such Account Debtor and shall direct each Account Debtor to make payments to the appropriate Lockbox Account, and Borrower hereby authorizes Lender, upon any failure to send such notices and directions within ten (10) calendar days after the date of this Agreement (or ten (10) calendar days after the Person becomes an Account Debtor), to send any and all similar notices and directions to such Account Debtors, and (iii) shall do anything further that may be lawfully required by Lender to create and perfect Lender’s lien on any collateral and effectuate the intentions of the Loan Documents.
