A Fourth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of June 27, 2006, was executed by the Company and Comerica (the “Fourth Amendment”) (i) permitting the Company to borrow up to an additional $15 million in advances to fund the purchase of two leased facilities located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania (described in Item 1.02 below) and (ii) extending the maturity date of the Revolving Line to June 29, 2007. A copy of the Fourth Amendment is attached as Exhibit 10 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1.02 – Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

The Company and Northampton County New Jobs Corp. (“NCNJC”) are parties to a Commercial Lease, dated as of April 30, 1999, as amended (the “Tech II Lease”), pursuant to which the Company leased an approximately 36,000 square foot facility located at 150 Webster Street, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania 18015 (the “Tech II Facility”). Pursuant to a Right of First Refusal and Purchase Option Agreement, dated as of September 22, 1999 (the “Option Agreement”), between the Company and NCNJC, the Company had the option to purchase the Tech II Facility at a purchase price determined in accordance with the Option Agreement. The Tech II Lease had a five-year initial term ended March 2005 with annual rent of approximately $244,000 and a five-year renewal term ending March 2010 with annual rent of approximately $271,000.

The Company is also party to a Commercial Lease, dated as of March 1, 2002, as amended (the “Tech III Lease”), with Tech III Partners, LLC, pursuant to which the Company leased an approximately 48,000 square foot facility located at 220 East First Street, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania 18015 (the “Tech III Facility”). Under the terms of the Tech III Lease, the Company had the option to purchase the Tech III Facility at a purchase price determined in accordance with the Tech III Lease. The Tech III Lease had a ten-year initial term ending October 2012 with annual rent starting at approximately $780,000 and increasing to approximately $858,000. The Tech III Lease also had a five-year renewal term with annual rent of approximately $975,000.

On June 30, 2006, the Company exercised the foregoing purchase options and purchased both the Tech II Facility and Tech III Facility for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $9.0 million. The Company funded the purchases with borrowings under the Fourth Amendment referred to in Item 1.01 above.

The parties desire to amend the Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1. Certain defined terms in Section 1.1 of the Agreement are hereby added or amended and restated to read as follows:

Credit Extension” means the Mortgage Advance, each Non-Revolving Advance, each Revolving Advance, each Equipment Term Loan, the Term Advance, the Expansion Advances, or any other extension of credit by Bank for the benefit of Borrower hereunder.

Expansion Advances” means a cash advance or advances under Section 2.1(f).

“Expansion Advance Maturity Date” means June 27, 2011.

“Fixed Rate Advance” means a Credit Extension where the Borrower elects to pay interest on such Credit Extension at a fixed rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.3(a)(ii)(C), 2.3(a)(iii)(C), 2.3(a)(iv)(B) or 2.1(f)(ii) hereof.

“LIBOR Advance” means a Credit Extension where the Borrower elects to pay interest on such Credit Extension at a fixed rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.3(a)(i)(B), 2.3(a)(ii)(B), 2.3(a)(iii)(B) or 2.1(f)(i) hereof.

“Property” means the real property and improvements thereon located at 1745 Eaton Avenue, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and solely for the purpose of Section 7.5 hereof, shall also include the real property and improvements thereon located at 220 East First Street and 150 Webster Street, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

2. Section 2.1(f) is added to the Agreement, as follows:

(f) Expansion Advances. On or before July 7, 2006, Borrower may request, and Bank shall make one (1) or more Expansion Advances (the “Initial Expansion Advances”) in

 

1


an amount of up to $10,000,000. Thereafter, Borrower may request additional Expansion Advances in an aggregate amount of up to $5,000,000 at any time before June 30, 2007. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Expansion Advances to fund the purchase of the facilities and land at 220 East First Street and 150 Webster Street in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, an expansion project at 220 East First Street and all costs and expenses related to the foregoing. The outstanding balance of Expansion Advances shall bear interest, at the option of Borrower, at any of the following rates: (i) if Borrower elects to have a floating interest rate, a rate per annum equal to 30-day, 180-day or 360-day LIBOR plus (a) 125 basis points if Borrower invests and retains less than $10,000,000 with Comerica Securities, Inc., (b) 90 basis points if Borrower invests and retains at least $10,000,000 with Comerica Securities, Inc., (c) 75 basis points if Borrower invests and retains at least $25,000,000 with Comerica Securities, Inc., and (d) 55 basis points if Borrower invests and retains at least $40,000,000 with Comerica Securities, Inc., or (ii) if Borrower elects to have a fixed interest rate, a rate per annum equal to the 5-year Treasury Note Rate plus (a) 1.73% basis points if Borrower invests and retains less than $10,000,000 with Comerica Securities, Inc., (b) 1.38% if Borrower invests and retains at least $10,000,000 with Comerica Securities, Inc., (c) 1.23% if Borrower invests and retains at least $25,000,000 with Comerica Securities, Inc., and (d) 1.03% if Borrower invests and retains at least $40,000,000. Interest rates shall be determined based on the investment level on the date of an Expansion Advance, and will be adjusted, to the extent necessary, on the date that each principal payment is due to reflect any increase or decrease in the amount of such investment above or below the thresholds set forth in this Section as of such date. Interest shall be payable on the first day of each month, beginning the first day of the month after each Expansion Advance is made, and continuing for so long as any portion of the Expansion Advances remains outstanding. Interest on Expansion Advances shall be computed pursuant to Section 2.3(d). Borrower shall have the right to select a different LIBOR Interest Period for each Expansion Advance that is a LIBOR Advance pursuant to Section 2.3(e), and Borrower shall have the right from time to time to convert any Expansion Advance that is a LIBOR Advance to a Fixed Rate Advance on the first day of a LIBOR Interest Period pursuant to Section 2.3(e) without penalty or premium. The initial Expansion Advances are repayable on a 20-year amortization schedule, with the entire balance of the unpaid principal and all amounts of accrued interest due on the Expansion Advance Maturity Date. The principal amount of the subsequent Expansion Advances outstanding on June 27, 2007 shall be repayable on a 19-year amortization schedule, with the entire balance of the unpaid principal and all amounts of accrued interest due on the Expansion Advance Maturity Date. If an Expansion Advance is a LIBOR Advance, principal payments thereon will be made at the expiration of each LIBOR Interest Period. If an expansion Advance is a Fixed Rate Advance, principal payments thereon will be made on the first day of each month, in equal monthly installments of principal and interest during the period beginning on the date of the Expansion Advance and continuing through the Expansion Advance Maturity Date. Borrower may prepay an Expansion Advance prior to the Expansion Advance Maturity Date, provided that Borrower shall pay (x) a Prepayment Penalty if the Expansion Advance is a Fixed Rate Advance and (y) a LIBOR Prepayment Penalty if the Expansion Advance is a LIBOR Advance and such prepayment occurs on any day other than the last scheduled day of an applicable LIBOR Interest Period. Subject to payment of a Prepayment Penalty or LIBOR Prepayment Penalty as provided above, each prepayment of an Expansion Advance shall be applied first to fees, then to interest, then to principal installments in reverse order of maturity.
