Reference is made to that certain Credit Agreement, dated March 29, 2012 (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Wells Fargo Capital Finance LLC, as administrative agent (the “Agent”), the lenders that are parties thereto (the “Lenders”), and Quantum Corporation (the “Company”).

On April 15, 2016, the Company entered into the Ninth Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Ninth Amendment”), among the Company, the Agent and the Lenders, pursuant to which, among other amendments, the Credit Agreement was amended to modify the maturity date. The Credit Agreement, as amended by the Ninth Amendment, matures on the earlier of (i) August 10, 2017 and (ii) the date that is 91 days prior to the earliest maturity of the Company’s 4.50% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017.

In addition, the financial covenants were amended to change the amount of excess availability the Company is required to maintain over time. The $5 million excess availability requirement will increase by $1.5 million on June 1, 2016, and on the first day of each September, December, March and June occurring thereafter.

The borrowing base has also been amended to change the maximum amount of intellectual property assets which are included in the borrowing base. Currently, up to $32 million of intellectual property assets may be included in the borrowing base, which amount will be reduced by $1.5 million on the first day of each June, September, December and March occurring after March 1, 2016.

Finally, within 60 days following the date of the Ninth Amendment, the Company shall facilitate and pay for a field examination, inventory appraisal and intellectual property valuation.
