Vicon Industries, Inc. a producer of end-to-end security solutions, announced that it has entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with NIL Funding Corporation, its secured lender.

Under the amended agreement, the company can borrow up to $4 million under a sub-line of credit that is not subject to a borrowing base formula, and can borrow up to an additional $2 million to the extent it has sufficient ?eligible accounts receivable to support such borrowings.
