5.       Section 4.3 (f) of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted and the following inserted in lieu thereof:

f)       Concurrent with the delivery of the financial statements required herein, Borrower shall deliver a covenant compliance certificate in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto, which certificate shall be certified as true and correct by person with appropriate Borrower authority (a “Compliance Certificate”). To the extent required by Bank, each Compliance Certificate shall be accompanied by historical and proforma EBITDA and other supporting information as Bank may require for any such Guarantor acquired during the prior twelve (12) month period.

6.       Section 4.9 (a) is hereby deleted and the following inserted in lieu thereof:

(a)       FIXED CHARGE COVERAGE RATIO (FCCR). Borrower, on a combined basis with each Guarantor, shall maintain a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.00. For purposes of this Agreement, “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” shall be defined as: (I) the sum of net profit after tax, depreciation, amortization, interest expense (including any interest permitted to be paid on shareholder debt) less net distributions less unfinanced capital expenditures, plus (i) any stock compensation expense provided there is no present or future cash impact from such stock compensation expense and (ii) one-time fees, costs and expenses related to the acquisition of any Guarantor, as well as commercially reasonable, one-time fees, costs and expenses related to future acquisitions, approved by Bank, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, divided by (II) the sum of interest expense, the current portion of long term debt (including any principal payments permitted to be paid on shareholder debt), and capital lease payments.

 

This financial covenant shall be tested quarterly commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2017 and calculated on a rolling, four quarters basis; provided, however, that the calculations for the testing periods for the first four (4) quarterly testing periods of any entity which becomes a Guarantor through an acquisition by Borrower, shall be calculated by combining the financial statements of Borrower and such Guarantor (with add-backs to such Guarantor’s financial statements to be adjusted by Borrower to give effect to Bank approved transaction expenses incurred by such Guarantor in connection with its acquisition by Borrower), for the applicable rolling four quarter period, and shall include current portion of long term debt in an amount equal to current portion of long term debt as shown on Borrower’s quarterly financial statement.

 

7.       The first paragraph of Section 4.9 (b) is hereby deleted and the following inserted in lieu thereof:

(b)       ASSET COVERAGE RATIO. Borrower, on a combined basis with each Guarantor, shall maintain a minimum Asset Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.00 to 1.00, which shall be tested quarterly; provided, however, if utilization under the Line of Credit exceeds 65% of the maximum commitment available under the Line of Credit for any quarter, the Asset Coverage Ratio will be tested monthly thereafter; provided, however, if Borrower’s utilization under the Line of Credit is less than 65% of the maximum commitment available under the Line of Credit for three (3) consecutive fiscal months during such monthly testing, the Asset Coverage Ratio will be tested quarterly thereafter so long as Borrower remains in compliance with this utilization requirement as set forth in this Section 4.9(b). For purposes of this Agreement, “Asset Coverage Ratio” shall be defined as: the ratio of (a) the sum of (i) ninety percent (90%) of Eligible Government Account Receivables, plus (ii) eighty-five percent (85%) of Eligible Commercial Accounts Receivables, less the Credit Memo Refresh Lag Reserve, plus (iii) the sum of (A) up to fifty percent (50%) of Eligible Equipment Inventory less the Slow Moving Equipment Inventory Reserve, plus (B) up to thirty percent (30%) of Eligible Parts Inventory less the Slow Moving Parts Inventory Reserve, divided by (C) the outstanding principal balance of

The foregoing advance rates may be adjusted by Bank from time to time based on the results of any Field Exam or inventory appraisal(s) required herein or conducted by Bank, provided further, that the Credit Memo Lag Reserve may be reduced or eliminated from the calculation of the Asset Coverage Ratio if Bank receives evidence satisfactory to Bank in Bank’s reasonable discretion that such reserve is not required. For purposes of calculating the Asset Coverage Ratio upon the acquisition of any Guarantor, such ratio shall be determined by a Compliance Certificate provided by Borrower prior to the closing of the acquisition of such Guarantor so long as the closing of the amendment to the Line of Credit adding such Guarantor occurs within three (3) business days from the closing of such acquisition.

 

8.       Section 4.9 (c) is hereby deleted and the following inserted in lieu thereof:

BORROWER AND GUARANTOR FURTHER EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT THE FOREGOING RELEASE AND WAIVER AGREEMENT IS INTENDED TO BE AS BROAD AND INCLUSIVE AS PERMITTED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

17.       ARBITRATION.

(a)       Arbitration. The parties hereto agree, upon demand by any party, to submit to binding arbitration all claims, disputes and controversies between or among them (and their respective employees, officers, directors, attorneys, and other agents), whether in tort, contract or otherwise in any way arising out of or relating to (i) any credit subject hereto, or any of the Loan Documents, and their negotiation, execution, collateralization, administration, repayment, modification, extension, substitution, formation, inducement, enforcement, default or termination; or (ii) requests for additional credit.

 

(b)       Governing Rules. Any arbitration proceeding will (i) proceed in a location in Broward County, Florida selected by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”); (ii) be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in any of the documents between the parties; and (iii) be conducted by the AAA, or such other administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon, in accordance with the AAA’s commercial dispute resolution procedures, unless the claim or counterclaim is at least $1,000,000.00 exclusive of claimed interest, arbitration fees and costs in which case the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA’s optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes (the commercial dispute resolution procedures or the optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes to be referred to herein, as applicable, as the “Rules”). If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the Rules, the terms and procedures set forth herein shall control. Any party who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a demand by any other party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any dispute. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any party that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. §91 or any similar applicable state law.

 

(c)       No Waiver of Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure. The arbitration requirement does not limit the right of any party to (i) foreclose against real or personal property collateral; (ii) exercise self-help remedies relating to collateral or proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession; or (iii) obtain provisional or ancillary remedies such as replevin, injunctive relief, attachment or the appointment of a receiver, before during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding. This

exclusion does not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any dispute to arbitration or reference hereunder, including those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in sections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph.

 

(d)       Arbitrator Qualifications and Powers. Any arbitration proceeding in which the amount in controversy is $5,000,000.00 or less will be decided by a single arbitrator selected according to the Rules, and who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000.00. Any dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000.00 shall be decided by majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators; provided however, that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations. The arbitrator will be a neutral attorney licensed in the State of Florida or a neutral retired judge of the state or federal judiciary of Florida, in either case with a minimum of ten years experience in the substantive law applicable to the subject matter of the dispute to be arbitrated. The arbitrator will determine whether or not an issue is arbitratable and will give effect to the statutes of limitation in determining any claim. In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will decide (by documents only or with a hearing at the arbitrator's discretion) any pre-hearing motions which are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim or motions for summary adjudication. The arbitrator shall resolve all disputes in accordance with the substantive law of Florida and may grant any remedy or relief that a court of such state could order or grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award. The arbitrator shall also have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other action as the arbitrator deems necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable law. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief.

 

(e)       Discovery. In any arbitration proceeding, discovery will be permitted in accordance with the Rules. All discovery shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the dispute being arbitrated and must be completed no later than 20 days before the hearing date. Any requests for an extension of the discovery periods, or any discovery disputes, will be subject to final determination by the arbitrator upon a showing that the request for discovery is essential for the party's presentation and that no alternative means for obtaining information is available.

 

(f)       Class Proceedings and Consolidations. No party hereto shall be entitled to join or consolidate disputes by or against others in any arbitration, except parties who have executed any Loan Document, or to include in any arbitration any dispute as a representative or member of a class, or to act in any arbitration in the interest of the general public or in a private attorney general capacity.

 

(g)       Payment Of Arbitration Costs And Fees. The arbitrator shall award all costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding.

 

(h)       Miscellaneous. To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrators and the parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA. No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by a party required in the ordinary course of its business or by applicable law or regulation. If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the parties potentially applies to a dispute, the arbitration provision most directly related to the Loan Documents or the subject matter of the dispute shall control. This arbitration provision shall survive termination, amendment or expiration of any of the Loan Documents or any relationship between the parties.

 

18.       Waiver of Bankruptcy Stay. BORROWER AND GUARANTOR HEREBY AGREE, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE RECITALS AND MUTUAL COVENANTS CONTAINED HEREIN, AND FOR OTHER GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, THE RECEIPT AND SUFFICIENCY OF WHICH ARE

HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGED, THAT IN THE EVENT THAT BORROWER OR GUARANTOR SHALL FILE WITH ANY BANKRUPTCY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION OR BE THE SUBJECT OF ANY PETITION UNDER TITLE 11 OF THE UNITED STATES CODE THE AUTOMATIC STAY IMPOSED BY SECTION ▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ CODE IS WAIVED, AND SUCH WAIVER CONSTITUTES “CAUSE” PURSUANT TO 11 U.S.C. SECTION 362(d)(1) FOR THE IMMEDIATE LIFTING OF THE AUTOMATIC STAY IN FAVOR OF BANK, AND BORROWER AND GUARANTOR HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL DEFENSES AND OBJECTIONS TO SUCH LIFTING OF THE AUTOMATIC STAY.
