Item 2.03 CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION
On January 6, 2009, Streamline Health, Inc. (the “Borrower”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Streamline Health Solutions, Inc. (the “Registrant”), entered into a revised revolving note with Fifth Third Bank, Cincinnati, OH. The terms of the loan remain the same as set forth in the revolving note entered into on July 31, 2008 except that the Borrowing Base limitation has been modified and is now set at “the lesser of 80% of the net amount of Borrower’s Eligible Accounts (less than 90 days) or 2 times trailing twelve month EBITDA of Streamline Health Solutions, Inc.” compared to the previous limitation of “the lesser of 80% of the net amount of Borrower’s Eligible Accounts (less than 90 days) or the Tangible Net Worth of Streamline Health Solutions, Inc.”
The loan continues to be guaranteed by the Registrant and is secured by a first lien on all of the assets of the Registrant and its subsidiary. In connection with the entering into of the revised revolving note, the Registrant also entered into a revised continuing guaranty agreement. The terms of the continuing guarantee agreement remain the same as set forth in the guarantee agreement entered into on July 31, 2008 except that the Registrant’s covenant to maintain a minimum Tangible Net Worth of at least $1,000,000 at all times after October 31, 2008 has been modified to provide that the Registrant must maintain a minimum Tangible Net Worth that increases on a periodic basis as follows:
         
Period
  Min. Amount
10/31/08 through 01/30/09
  $ 1,000,000.00  
01/31/09 through 04/29/09
  $ 1,500,000.00  
04/30/09 through 07/30/09
  $ 1,750,000.00  
07/31/09 through 10/30/09
  $ 2,000,000.00  
10/31/09 through 01/30/10
  $ 2,250,000.00  
01/31/09 and thereafter
  $ 2,500,000.00  
Prior to entering into the revised continuing guarantee agreement, the Registrant and the Borrower had received a waiver from Fifth Third Bank as to the Registrant’s non-compliance with the minimum Tangible Net Worth requirement as of October 31, 2008.
The maximum principal amount under the terms of the revolving note is $2,000,000. The interest rate on amounts borrowed accrue at a variable rate from the Prime Rate less 1% to the Prime Rate plus 3%, based on the ratio of the funded indebtedness to the trailing twelve months EBITDA. The continuing guarantee agreement contains other covenants including a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and maximum ratio of Funded Indebtedness to EBITDA. This loan facility expires on August 1, 2010.
The complete terms of the revised loan are set forth in the Revolving Note and Continuing Guarantee Agreement attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, which replace the previous Revolving Note and Continuing Guarantee Agreement entered into on July 31, 2008 with Fifth Third Bank. All defined terms used in this Form 8-K and not defined herein, have the meanings set forth in the Revolving Note and Continuing Guarantee Agreement, as applicable.

     1. PROMISE TO PAY. On or before August 1, 2010 (the “Maturity Date”), the undersigned, Streamline Health, Inc., an Ohio corporation located at 10200 Alliance Road Suite 200, Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio 45242 (“Borrower”) for value received, hereby promises to pay to the order of Fifth Third Bank, an Ohio banking corporation located at 38 Fountain Square Plaza, Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio 45263 for itself and as agent for any affiliate of Fifth Third Bancorp (together with its successors and assigns, the “Lender”) the sum of Two Million and 00/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) (the “Borrowing”), plus interest as provided herein, less such amounts as shall have been repaid in accordance with this Note. The outstanding balance of this Note shall appear on a supplemental bank record and is not necessarily the face amount of this Note, which record shall evidence the balance due pursuant to this Note at any time.
Principal and interest payments shall be initiated by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Note from Borrower’s account through BillPayer 2000®. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to initiate such payments from Borrower’s account located at Fifth Third Bank, routing number 042000314 account number xxxxx. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that use of BillPayer 2000® shall be governed by the BillPayer 2000® Terms and Conditions, a copy of which Borrower acknowledges receipt. Borrower further acknowledges and agrees to maintain payments hereunder through BillPayer 2000® throughout the term of this Note. Each payment hereunder may be applied in the following order accrued interest, principal, fees, charges and advanced costs.
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of Borrower herein, Lender hereby extends to Borrower a line of credit facility pursuant to which Lender, in its reasonable discretion, may make loans hereunder to Borrower, on a revolving basis and upon Borrower’s request from time to time during the term of this Note (each, a “Revolving Loan”), provided that: (a) the aggregate principal amount borrowed hereunder at any time shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Borrowing, or (ii) the Borrowing Base (as defined below) and (b) no Event of Default shall exist or be caused thereby. Lender may create and maintain reserves from time to time based on such credit and collateral considerations as Lender may deem appropriate. Borrower may borrow, prepay, in whole or in part, and reborrow hereunder, provided that, in the event that the principal amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding at any one time under this Note shall exceed the foregoing limits, Borrower shall immediately repay the amount of such excess to Lender in cash. In the event Borrower fails to pay such excess, Lender may, in its discretion, setoff such amount against Borrower’s accounts at Lender.
Borrower may request a Revolving Loan by written notice to Lender, via facsimile transmission, electronic mail or otherwise, no later than 10:00 a.m. local time on the date Borrower shall request that such Revolving Loan be advanced, which written request shall include a Borrowing Base Certificate certified by the Borrower or financial officer of Borrower that sets forth the calculation of the Borrowing Base as of such date if requested or required by Lender. Lender shall make each Revolving Loan by crediting the amount thereof to Borrower’s account at Lender.
The entire principal balance, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and any other charges, advances and fees, if any, Outstanding hereunder, shall be due and payable in full on the earlier of the Maturity Date or upon acceleration of the Note.
The principal sum outstanding shall bear interest from the date of the first advance until paid at a floating rate of interest equal to the percent per annum set forth below (the “Interest Rate”), which rate of interest will fluctuate on a periodic basis as provided herein to the rate specified by the following table based upon the ratio of Borrower’s Trailing Twelve Month EBITDA (TTM EBITDA):

Greater than $700,000 but less than or equal to $1,200,000

  Prime Rate minus 1.00%
Interest rate changes based upon changes in the foregoing chart will be made effective as of the date of the first advance hereunder and on the first day of the calendar month following the review by Lender of Borrower’s monthly financial statements detailing compliance with the above-mentioned financial measurement. As used herein, Prime Rate shall mean the rate established from time to time by Fifth Third Bank at its principal office as its “Prime Rate”, whether or not Fifth Third Bank shall at times lend to borrowers at lower rates of interest, or if there is no such prime rate, then such other rate as may be substituted by Fifth Third Bank for the prime rate. In addition to changes occurring pursuant to fluctuations in the foregoing chart, the interest rate charged hereunder shall change automatically upon each change in the Prime Rate. Interest shall be calculated based on a 360-day year and charged for the actual number of days elapsed, and shall be payable on the 1st day of each month beginning on September 1, 2008.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Note, in no event shall the interest rate charged on the Borrowing exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable state and/or federal usury law. Any payment of interest that would be deemed unlawful under applicable law for any reason shall be deemed received on account of, and will automatically be applied to reduce, the principal sum outstanding and any other sums (other than interest) due and payable to Lender under this Note, and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for the highest rate of interest permitted under applicable law.
     2. USE OF PROCEEDS. Borrower certifies that the proceeds of this loan are to be used for business purposes.
     3. RENEWAL. This Note is issued, not as a payment toward, but as a continuation of, the obligations of Borrower to Lender pursuant to that certain note dated July 30, 2008, in the principal amount of $2,000,000.00 (together with all prior amendments thereto or restatements thereof the “Prior Note”). Accordingly, this Note shall not be construed as a novation or extinguishment of, the obligations arising under the Prior Note, and its issuance shall not affect the priority of any security interest granted in connection with the Prior Note.
     4. UNUSED COMMITMENT FEE may charge, and Borrower agrees to pay the following fees at the times stated below:
On the 30th day of each May, August, November, and February of each year that Obligations (defined herein) remain outstanding, an unused commitment fee, to be determined as follows: the average daily amount of the Borrowing unused by Borrower for the previous three-month period as measured on each April 30, July 31, October 31, and January 31, multiplied by 0.0035 (35 basis points).
     5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Borrower hereby warrants and represents to Lender the following:
     (a) Organization and Qualification. Borrower is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of its incorporation, has the power and authority to carry on its business and to enter into and perform all documents relating to this loan transaction, and is qualified and licensed to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification or licensing is required.

Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative, and may be exercised together, separately, and in any order. No delay on the part of Lender in the exercise of any such right or remedy shall operate as a waiver. No single or partial exercise by Lender of any right or remedy shall preclude any other further exercise of it or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

     15. MODIFICATION; WAIVER OF LENDER. The modification or waiver of any of Borrower’s obligations or Lender’s rights under this Note must be contained in a writing signed by Lender. Lender may perform Borrower’s obligations, or delay or fail to exercise any of its rights or remedies, without causing a waiver of those obligations or rights. A waiver on one occasion shall not constitute a waiver on another occasion. Borrower’s obligations under this Note shall not be affected if Lender amends, compromises, exchanges, fails to exercise, impairs or releases (i) any of the obligations belonging to any co- borrower, endorser or guarantor or (ii) any of its rights against any co- borrower, guarantor or endorser.
     16. WAIVER OF BORROWER. Demand, presentment, protest and notice of dishonor, notice of protest and notice of default are hereby waived by Borrower, and any endorser or guarantor hereof.

Continuing Guaranty Agreement
     THIS CONTINUING GUARANTY AGREEMENT (the “Guaranty”) made as of January 6, 2009 by and between Streamline Health Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation located at 10200 Alliance Road, Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio 45242 (the “Guarantor”) and Fifth Third Bank, an Ohio banking corporation located at 38 Fountain Square Plaza, Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio 45263 for itself and as agent for any affiliate of Fifth Third Bancorp (“Beneficiary”).
W I T N E S S E T H:
     WHEREAS, Beneficiary has agreed to extend credit and financial accommodations to Streamline Health, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“Borrower”), pursuant to the Term Note, dated July 30, 2004, executed by Borrower and made payable to the order of Beneficiary and the Revolving Note, dated December 26, 2008, executed by Borrower and made payable to the order of Beneficiary (collectively, the “Notes”), and all agreements, instruments and documents executed or delivered in connection with any of the foregoing or otherwise related thereto (together with any amendments, modifications, or restatements thereof, the “Loan Documents”); and
     WHEREAS, Guarantor is affiliated with Borrower and, as such, shall be benefited directly by the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents, and shall execute this Guaranty in order to induce Beneficiary to enter into such transaction.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and other good and valuable consideration, Guarantor hereby guarantees, promises and undertakes as follows:
     1. GUARANTY.
     (a) Guarantor hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guarantees to Beneficiary the full and prompt payment and performance when due (whether at maturity by acceleration or otherwise) of any and all loans, advances, indebtedness and each and every other obligation or liability of Borrower owed to Beneficiary and any affiliate of Fifth Third Bancorp, however created, of every kind and description, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether direct or indirect, primary or as guarantor or surety, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, liquidated or unliquidated, matured or unmatured, participated in whole or in part, created by trust agreement, lease, overdraft, agreement, or otherwise, whether or not secured by additional collateral, whether originated with Beneficiary or owed to others and acquired by Beneficiary by purchase, assignment or otherwise, and including, without limitation, all loans, advances, indebtedness and each and every other obligation or liability arising under the Loan Documents, letters of credit now or hereafter issued by Beneficiary or any affiliate of Fifth Third Bancorp for the benefit of or at the request of Borrower, all obligations to perform or forbear from performing acts, any and all Rate Management Obligations (as defined in the Loan Documents), and all agreements, instruments and documents evidencing, guarantying, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any of the foregoing, together with any amendments, modifications, and restatements thereof, and all expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred or other sums disbursed by Beneficiary or any affiliate of Fifth Third Bancorp under this Guaranty or any other document, instrument or agreement related to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Obligations”).
     (b) This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty of payment, and not merely of collection, that shall remain in full force and effect until expressly terminated in writing by Beneficiary, notwithstanding the fact that no Obligations may be outstanding from time to time. Such termination by Beneficiary shall be applicable only to transactions having their inception after the effective date thereof, and shall not affect the enforceability of this Guaranty with regard to any Obligations arising out of transactions having their inception prior to such effective date, even if such Obligations shall have been modified, renewed, compromised, extended, otherwise amended or performed by Beneficiary subsequent to such termination. In the absence of any termination of this Guaranty as provided above, Guarantor agrees that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be deemed discharged or satisfied until the Obligations are fully paid and performed, and no such payments or performance with regard to

the Obligations is subject to any right on the part or any person whomsoever, including but not limited to any trustee in bankruptcy, to recover any of such payments. If any such payments are so set aside or settled without litigation, all of which is within Beneficiary’s discretion, Guarantor shall be liable for the full amount Beneficiary is required to repay, plus costs, interest, reasonable attorneys’ fees and any and all expenses that Beneficiary paid or incurred in connection therewith. A successor of Borrower, including Borrower in its capacity as debtor in a bankruptcy reorganization case, shall not be considered to be a different person than Borrower; and this Guaranty shall apply to all Obligations incurred by such successor.
     (c) Guarantor agrees that Guarantor is directly and primarily liable to Beneficiary and that the Obligations hereunder are independent of the Obligations of Borrower, or of any other guarantor. The liability of Guarantor hereunder shall survive discharge or compromise of any Obligation of Borrower in bankruptcy or otherwise. Beneficiary shall not be required to prosecute or seek to enforce any remedies against Borrower or any other party liable to Beneficiary on account of the Obligations, or to seek to enforce or resort to any remedies with respect to any collateral granted to Beneficiary by Borrower or any other party on account of the Obligations, as a condition to payment or performance by Guarantor under this Guaranty.
     (d) Beneficiary may, without notice or demand and without affecting its rights hereunder, from time to time: (i) renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the amount of, the time for payment of, or other terms relating to, any or all of the Obligations, or otherwise modify, amend or change the terms of the Loan Documents or any other document or instrument evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the Obligations, (ii) take and hold collateral for the payment of the Obligations guaranteed hereby, and exchange, enforce, waive, and release any such collateral, and apply such collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Beneficiary in its discretion may determine. Accordingly, Guarantor hereby waives notice of any and all of the foregoing.
     (e) Guarantor hereby waives all defenses, counterclaims and off-sets of any kind or nature, whether legal or equitable, that may arise: (i) directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of validity, binding effect or enforceability of the Loan Documents or any other document or instrument evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the Obligations, (ii) from Beneficiary’s impairment of any collateral, including the failure to record or perfect the Beneficiary’s interest in the collateral, or (iii) by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by Beneficiary in the event such election may, in any manner, impair, affect, reduce, release, destroy or extinguish any right of contribution or reimbursement of Guarantor, or any other rights of the Guarantor to proceed against any other guarantor, or against any other person or any collateral.
     (f) Guarantor hereby waives all presentments, demands for performance or payment, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of default or nonpayment, notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional Obligations, and all other notices or formalities to which Guarantor may be entitled, and Guarantor hereby waives all suretyship defenses, including but not limited to all defenses set forth in the Uniform Commercial Code, as revised from time to time (the “UCC”) to the full extent such a waiver is permitted thereby.
     (g) Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives all legal and equitable rights to recover from Borrower any sums paid by the Guarantor under the terms of this Guaranty, including without limitation all rights of subrogation and all other rights that would result in Guarantor being deemed a creditor of Borrower under the federal Bankruptcy Code or any other law, and Guarantor hereby waives any right to assert in any manner against Beneficiary any claim, defense, counterclaim and offset of any kind or nature, whether legal or equitable, that Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against Borrower or any other party liable to Beneficiary.
     2. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS. Guarantor hereby represents, warrants and covenants as follows:
     (a) Guarantor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation, has the power and authority to carry on its business and to enter into and perform this Guaranty and is qualified and licensed to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification or licensing is required.
