This Amendment, dated as of December 30, 2008, is made by and between Heska Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Heska”), Diamond Animal Health, Inc., an Iowa corporation (“Diamond”) (each of Heska and Diamond may be referred to herein individually as a “Borrower” and collectively as the “Borrowers”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, operating through its Wells Fargo Business Credit operating division (the “Lender”).

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:

“Prepayment Factor” means one percent (1%).

 

2.             Inventory Cap . The figure “$7,500,000” in clause (iii) of the definition of “Borrowing Base” is replaced by the figure “$6,500,000”.
