On December 14, 2006, Bioanalytical Systems, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a letter agreement (the "Amendment") which amended the Credit Facility Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by and between the Company and National City Bank (the "Credit Facility"). The Amendment raised our interest rate from LIBOR plus 250-300 basis point to LIBOR plus 325 basis points, or from prime plus 25 basis points to prime plus 50 basis points, increased our fee on the unused portion of the line from 25 basis points to 37.5 basis points, and limited capital additions for fiscal 2007 to $1.2 million.
