This Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into effective as of the 1st day of December, 2019, by and between Bioanalytical Systems, Inc., an Indiana corporation (“Borrower”), and FIRST INTERNET BANK OF INDIANA, an Indiana state bank (“Bank”).

Certain capitalized terms have the meanings set forth on Exhibit 1 hereto or in the Security Agreement. All financial terms used in this Agreement but not defined on Exhibit 1 or in the Security Agreement have the meanings given to them by generally accepted accounting principles. All other undefined terms have the meanings given to them in the Indiana Uniform Commercial Code.

Section 2. Loans.

2.1. Revolving Credit Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank hereby extends or continues to extend to Borrower a revolving line of credit facility (the “Facility”) under which Bank shall make loans (the “Revolving Loans”) to Borrower at Borrower’s request from time to time during the term of this Agreement in an aggregate amount not to exceed Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00). Borrower may, from time to time, borrow, repay (without penalty or charge), and reborrow under the Facility, provided that the principal amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding at any one time under the Facility will not exceed the lesser of (i) Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) and (ii) the Borrowing Base (the “Revolving Loan Availability”). If the amount of Revolving Loans outstanding at any time under the Facility exceeds the Revolving Loan Availability, Borrower will, upon request, immediately pay the amount of such excess to Bank in cash. In the event Borrower fails to pay such excess following any such request, Bank may, in its discretion, setoff such amount against Borrower’s accounts at Bank, if any, and, if such excess is not satisfied by such setoff, declare an Event of Default.

(b) Borrower may request a Revolving Loan by written or telephone notice to Bank. Bank will make Revolving Loans by crediting the amount thereof to Borrower’s account at Bank, if any, or as otherwise directed by Borrower and approved by Bank. Loan proceeds will be used for general business purposes.

(c) On June 23, 2017, Borrower originally issued and delivered to Bank a revolving note in the original principal amount of Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) (the “Original Note”), which Original Note has been previously amended and is being further amended and restated as of December 1, 2019 in the maximum principal amount of Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1C (the “Revolving Note”), bearing interest and repayable as specified in the Revolving Note.

(d) The term of the Facility will expire on January 31, 2021, and the Revolving Note will become payable in full on that date.

(e) On the date hereof, Borrower shall pay to Bank, for Bank’s sole account in immediately available funds, a non-refundable fee associated with the Facility in the amount of Thirty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($30,000.00).

2.2 Term Loan. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Bank shall continue a term loan (the “Term Loan”) originally made to Borrower on June 23, 2017 in the aggregate amount of Four Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($4,500,000.00). The unpaid principal balance, together with all accrued but unpaid interest and reimbursable expenses, shall be payable in accordance with the terms of the Term Loan as evidenced by a Term Loan Note (the “Term Note”) issued by Borrower to Bank on June 23, 2017 with a final maturity date of June 23, 2022, and otherwise in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.2.

Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due and may result in Borrower’s making fewer payments. Borrower agrees not to send Bank payments marked “paid in full”, “without recourse” or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Bank may accept it without losing any of Bank’s rights under the Term Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Bank.

(vii) The Inspecting Architect shall have physically inspected the Project and approved the disbursement request.

(viii) If the Borrower shall not have included any interest, fees or expenses then payable to the Bank or for which the Bank shall require immediate reimbursement, the Borrower shall so indicate to the Bank and shall pay such amount to the Bank and if not paid when due and after any applicable cure period, the Bank is authorized to disburse such interest to itself and add such amount to the principal outstanding hereunder.

6.4. Default Rate. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, all amounts of principal outstanding as of the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default will accrue interest at the Default Rate, in Bank’s sole discretion, without notice to Borrower.
