AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of
March 28, 2019, by and among Flux Power, Inc., a California

(“Additional
Lenders”, and together with Esenjay and Cleveland, the
“Lenders”).
WHEREAS, Borrower and Esenjay entered
into that certain Credit Facility Agreement (“Original
Agreement”), dated as of March 22, 2018 (“Effective
Date”), to provide Borrower with a line of credit (the
“LOC”)
in a maximum principal amount at any time outstanding of up to Five
Million Dollars ($5,000,000); and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to
amend and restate the Original Agreement in its entirety to (i) add
Cleveland as an additional lender, (ii) increase the LOC from Five
Million Dollars ($5,000,000) to Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000),
(iii) extend the maturity date under the Note (as defined below)
from March 31, 2019 to December 31, 2019; and (iv) provide for
additional parties to become a Lender under this
Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
above recitals and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, Borrower and
Lenders hereby amend and restate the Original Agreement in its
entirety and agree as follows:
(a) Subject to the sole
discretion of each individual Lender, and subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, each of the Lenders severally agrees
to extend a LOC, in the aggregate, of up to Seven Million Dollars
($7,000,000) (the “Advances”) to Borrower
from time to time from the Effective Date until December 31, 2019.
The Advances shall be made pro rata in accordance with each
Lender’s percentage as set forth in Schedule A, subject to
any pro rata adjustments made for Additional Lenders, provided,
however, to the extent such Lender elects not to make an Advance or
the full amount of its right to make an Advance (each event, a
“Shortfall”), the other
Lenders may elect to make up the Shortfall, if any.
(b) The Advances shall
be evidenced by separate promissory notes of the Borrower in
substantially the form of Exhibits A-1 and A-2 attached hereto
dated of even date with this Agreement (except for the Note
evidencing Esenjay’s prior Advances to date, which shall be
in the form of the Amended and Restated Promissory Note in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-3)
(collectively, the “Notes”), and completed
with appropriate insertions. One Note shall be payable to the order
of each Lender in the principal amount equal to the LOC commitment
or, if less, the outstanding amount of all Advances made by such
Lender, plus interest accrued thereon, as set forth below. All
Advances shall be made pursuant the terms and obligations set forth
in the Note.
(c) For the purposes of
the Advances, subject to the limitations, terms and conditions set
forth in the Notes, Borrower may, from time to time, prior to the
Due Date (as defined in the Note), draw down, repay, and re-borrow
on the Note, by giving notice to Lenders of the amount to be
requested to be drawn down.
(d) In order to secure
Borrower’s performance under the Note, Borrower will provide
the Lenders with a security interest in substantially all of
Borrower’s tangible and intangible assets in substantially
the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Security Agreement”), the
terms of which are incorporated herein by this
reference.
(e) All Advances shall
be used by Borrower for the purchase of inventory and related
operational support expenses.
(f) The Note and the
Security Agreement, together with all of the other agreements,
documents, and instruments heretofore or hereafter executed in
