AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
This AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of December 2, 2014 (the “Effective Date”) is by and among (a) SILICON VALLEY BANK, a California corporation (“Bank”), and (b) (i) INSPRO TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“InsPro Corp”), (ii) INSPRO TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“InsPro LLC”), and (iii) ATIAM TECHNOLOGIES L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Atiam”) (InsPro Corp, InsPro LLC and Atiam are individually and collectively, jointly and severally, “Borrower”), and provides the terms on which Bank shall lend to Borrower, and Borrower shall repay Bank. The parties agree as follows:
1 ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS
Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement shall be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP; provided that if at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either Borrower or Bank shall so request, Borrower and Bank shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP; provided, further, that, until so amended, (a) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (b) Borrower shall provide Bank financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all financial calculations (whether for pricing covenants, or otherwise) shall be made with regard to Borrower only and not on a consolidated basis. The term “financial statements” includes the notes and schedules. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Section 13 of this Agreement. All other terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meanings provided by the Code to the extent such terms are defined therein.
2 LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT
2.1 Promise to Pay. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Bank the outstanding principal amount of all Credit Extensions and accrued and unpaid interest thereon together with any fees and Finance Charges as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.
2.1.1 Financing of Accounts
(a) Availability.
(i) Subject to the terms of this Agreement and provided that Borrower is not Streamline Facility Eligible, Borrower may request that Bank finance specific Eligible Accounts. Bank may, in its good faith business discretion, finance such specific Eligible Accounts by extending credit to Borrower in an amount equal to the result of the Advance Rate multiplied by the face amount of the Eligible Account. Bank may, in its sole discretion, change the percentage of the Advance Rate for a particular Eligible Account on a case by case basis.
(ii) Subject to the terms of this Agreement and provided that Borrower is Streamline Facility Eligible, Borrower may request that Bank finance Eligible Accounts on an aggregate basis (the “Aggregate Eligible Accounts”). Bank shall finance Aggregate Eligible Accounts by extending credit to Borrower in an aggregate amount outstanding at any time of up to the Availability Amount. Bank may, in its sole discretion, change the percentage of the Borrowing Base on a case by case basis.
(iii) Any extension of credit made pursuant to the terms of subsections (i) or (ii) above shall hereinafter be referred to as an “Advance”, and, collectively, the “Advances”. When Bank makes an Advance, the specific Eligible Account or the Aggregate Eligible Accounts each become a separate “Financed Receivable”.
(b) Maximum Advances.
(i) The aggregate face amount of all Financed Receivables outstanding at any time may not exceed the Facility Amount. In addition and notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the aggregate amount of Advances outstanding at any time may not exceed the Maximum Availability Amount and (B) while Borrower is Streamline Facility Eligible, the aggregate amount of Advances outstanding at any time may not exceed the Availability Amount.
(ii) If, at any time, amounts outstanding exceed the amounts set forth in this Section 2.1.1(b), Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank in cash such excess amount, and Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Bank to debit any of its accounts maintained with Bank or any of Bank’s Affiliates in connection therewith.
(c) Borrowing Procedure. Borrower will deliver an Advance Request and Invoice Transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C signed by a Responsible Officer for each Advance it requests, accompanied by (i) an accounts receivable aging and a Borrowing Base Certificate, with respect to requests for Advances based upon Aggregate Eligible Accounts, or (ii) invoices, with respect to requests for Advances based upon specific Eligible Accounts. Bank may rely on information set forth in or provided with the Advance Request and Invoice Transmittal. In addition, upon Bank’s request, Borrower shall deliver to Bank any contracts, purchase orders, shipping documents or other underlying supporting documentation with respect to any Eligible Account (including those Eligible Accounts comprising all or any portion of the Aggregate Eligible Accounts).
(d) Credit Quality; Confirmations. Bank may, at its option, conduct a credit check of the Account Debtor for each Account requested by Borrower for financing hereunder to approve any such Account Debtor’s credit before agreeing to finance such Account. Bank may also verify directly with the respective Account Debtors the validity, amount and other matters relating to the Accounts (including confirmations of Borrower’s representations in Section 5.3 of this Agreement) by means of mail, email, telephone or otherwise, either in the name of Borrower or Bank from time to time in its sole discretion; provided, however, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Bank will notify Borrower prior to making any direct contact with Borrower’s Account Debtors.
(e) Accounts Notification/Collection. Bank may notify any Account Debtor of Bank’s security interest in Borrower’s Accounts and verify and/or collect them; provided, however, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Bank will notify Borrower prior to making any direct contact with Borrower’s Account Debtors.
(f) Early Termination. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Maturity Date as follows: (i) by Borrower, effective three (3) Business Days after written notice of termination is given to Bank; or (ii) by Bank at any time after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice, effective immediately. If this Agreement is terminated (A) by Bank in accordance with clause (ii) in the foregoing sentence, or (B) by Borrower for any reason, Borrower shall pay to Bank a non-refundable termination fee in an amount equal to the Minimum Finance Charge multiplied by the number of Reconciliation Periods remaining prior to the Maturity Date (for purposes of this calculation, a partial Reconciliation Period shall be deemed to be one (1) Reconciliation Period) (the “Early Termination Fee”). The Early Termination Fee shall be due and payable on the effective date of such termination and thereafter shall bear interest at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to any of the Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank agrees to waive the Early Termination Fee if Bank closes on the refinance and re-documentation of this Agreement under another division of Bank (in its sole and exclusive discretion) prior to the Maturity Date.
(g) Maturity. This Agreement shall terminate and all Obligations outstanding hereunder shall be immediately due and payable in full on the Maturity Date or the earlier termination of this Agreement.
(h) Suspension of Credit Extensions. Borrower’s ability to request that Bank make Credit Extensions hereunder will terminate if, in Bank’s reasonable discretion, there has been a material adverse change in the general affairs, management, results of operation, condition (financial or otherwise) or the prospect of repayment of the Obligations, or there has been any material adverse deviation by Borrower from the most recent business plan of Borrower presented to and accepted by Bank prior to the Effective Date.

(i) End of Streamline Facility Eligible Status. On any day that Borrower ceases to be Streamline Facility Eligible, all outstanding Advances made based on Aggregate Eligible Accounts shall be immediately due and payable, together with all Finance Charges accrued thereon. Provided no Event of Default then exists hereunder and subject to the terms of this Agreement, Bank shall refinance the outstanding principal amount of such Advances with new Advances made based on specific Eligible Accounts (in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.1.1 hereof). In connection with same, Borrower shall deliver to Bank an Advance Request and Invoice Transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C containing detailed invoice reporting, signed by a Responsible Officer, together with a current accounts receivable aging and a copy of each invoice, all in accordance with Section 6.2(h) hereof and Bank shall finance same (in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.1.1 hereof) and each Eligible Account financed shall thereafter be deemed to be a Financed Receivable for purposes of this Agreement. If, following such determination, the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in connection with Advances made pursuant to Section 2.1.1 exceeds the amount of Advances Bank has agreed to make based on specific Eligible Accounts, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank the excess and, in connection with same, hereby irrevocably authorizes Bank to debit any account of Borrower maintained by Borrower with Bank or any of Bank’s Affiliates for the amount of such excess.
(j) Commencement of Streamline Facility Eligible Status. On any day that Borrower becomes Streamline Facility Eligible, all outstanding Advances made based on specific Eligible Accounts shall be immediately due and payable, together with all Finance Charges and Collateral Handling Fees accrued thereon. Provided no Event of Default then exists hereunder and subject to the terms of this Agreement, Bank shall refinance such Advances with new Advances made based on Aggregate Eligible Accounts (in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.1.1 hereof). In connection with such request, Borrower shall deliver to Bank (i) an Advance Request and Invoice Transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C containing a current accounts receivable aging, and (ii) a Borrowing Base Certificate, and Bank shall refinance the outstanding principal amount of such Advances with new Advances made based on Aggregate Eligible Accounts (in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.1.1 hereof) and the Aggregate Eligible Accounts financed shall thereafter be deemed to be a Financed Receivable for purposes of this Agreement. If, following such determination, the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in connection with Advances made pursuant to Section 2.1.1 exceeds the amount of Advances Bank has agreed to make based on Aggregate Eligible Accounts, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank the excess and, in connection with same, hereby irrevocably authorizes Bank to debit any account of Borrower maintained by Borrower with Bank or any of Bank’s Affiliates for the amount of such excess.
2.2 Collections, Finance Charges, Remittances and Fees. The Obligations shall be subject to the following fees and Finance Charges. Unpaid fees and Finance Charges may, in Bank’s discretion, accrue interest at the then highest rate applicable to the Obligations.
2.3 Collections. Collections will be credited to the Financed Receivable Balance for such Financed Receivable, but if there is an Event of Default, Bank may apply Collections to the Obligations in any order it chooses. If Bank receives a payment for both a Financed Receivable and a non-Financed Receivable, the funds will first be applied to the Financed Receivable and, if there is no Event of Default then existing, the excess will be remitted to Borrower, subject to Section 2.9 of this Agreement.
2.4 Loan Fees.
(a) A non-refundable working capital facility fee of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00) shall be earned, due and payable upon the Effective Date (the “Facility Fee”); and
(b) A fully earned, non-refundable anniversary fee of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) (the “Anniversary Fee”) shall be earned as of the Effective Date and shall be due and payable on the earliest to occur of (i) the date that is one year from the Effective Date, or (ii) the termination of this Agreement;
The Facility Fee and the Anniversary Fee are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Loan Fees”.

2.5 Finance Charges. In computing Finance Charges on the Obligations under this Agreement, all Collections received by Bank shall be deemed applied by Bank on account of (a) Obligations with respect to Financed Receivables based upon specific Eligible Accounts, three (3) Business Days after receipt of the Collections and (b) Obligations with respect to Financed Receivables based upon Aggregate Eligible Accounts, on the day of receipt of such Collections. Borrower will pay a finance charge (the “Finance Charge”) on the Financed Receivable Balance or Account Balance (as applicable) which is equal to the Applicable Rate divided by 360 multiplied by the number of days each such Financed Receivable is outstanding multiplied by (a) with respect to Financed Receivables based on specific Eligible Accounts, the outstanding Financed Receivable Balance, and (b) with respect to Financed Receivables based on Aggregate Eligible Accounts, the outstanding Account Balance. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.1.1(i), Section 2.1.1(j) and/or Section 2.11.1(b)(i), the Finance Charge is payable when the Advance made based on such Financed Receivable is due and payable in accordance with Section 2.11 of this Agreement. Immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Applicable Rate will increase an additional five percent (5.0%) per annum. In the event that the aggregate amount of Finance Charges earned by Bank in any Reconciliation Period is less than the Minimum Finance Charge, Borrower shall pay to Bank an additional Finance Charge equal to (i) the Minimum Finance Charge minus (ii) the aggregate amount of all Finance Charges Fees earned by Bank in such Reconciliation Period. Such additional Finance Charge shall be payable on the first day of the next Reconciliation Period.
2.6 Collateral Handling Fee. With respect to Financed Receivables based upon specific Eligible Accounts, Borrower will pay to Bank a collateral handling fee equal to 0.10% per Reconciliation Period of the Financed Receivable Balance for each such Financed Receivable outstanding based upon a 360 day year (the “Collateral Handling Fee”). The Collateral Handling Fee is charged on a daily basis and is equal to the Collateral Handling Fee divided by 30, multiplied by the number of days each such Financed Receivable is outstanding, multiplied by the outstanding Financed Receivable Balance. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.1.1(j), the Collateral Handling Fee is payable when the Advance made based on such Financed Receivable is payable in accordance with Section 2.11 of this Agreement. In computing Collateral Handling Fees under this Agreement, all Collections received by Bank shall be deemed applied by Bank on account of Obligations three (3) Business Days after receipt of the Collections. Immediately upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Handling Fee will increase an additional 0.50%.
2.7 Accounting. After each Reconciliation Period, Bank will provide Borrower with an accounting of the transactions for that Reconciliation Period, including the amount of all Financed Receivables, all Collections, Adjustments, Finance Charges and Collateral Handling Fees. If Borrower does not object to the accounting in writing within thirty (30) days it shall be considered accurate. All Finance Charges and other interest and fees are calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed.
2.8 Deductions. Bank may deduct fees, Bank Expenses, Finance Charges, Collateral Handling Fees, the Loan Fees, Advances which become due pursuant to Section 2.11 of this Agreement, and other amounts due pursuant to this Agreement from any Credit Extensions made or Collections received by Bank.
2.9 Lockbox; Account Collection Services
(a) Borrower shall direct each Account Debtor (and each depository institution where proceeds of Accounts are on deposit) to remit payments with respect to the Accounts to a lockbox account established with Bank or to wire transfer payments to a cash collateral account that Bank controls (collectively, the “Lockbox”). It will be considered an immediate Event of Default if the Lockbox is not established and operational on the Effective Date and at all times thereafter.
(b) Upon receipt by Borrower of any proceeds of Accounts, Borrower shall immediately transfer and deliver same to Bank, along with a detailed cash receipts journal.
(c) Provided no Event of Default exists or an event that with notice or lapse of time will be an Event of Default, within three (3) days of receipt of any proceeds of the Accounts by Bank (whether received by Bank in the Lockbox, directly from Borrower, or otherwise), Bank will turn over to Borrower such proceeds other than (i) Collections applied by Bank pursuant to Section 2.3 of this Agreement in respect of Financed Receivables based upon specific Eligible Accounts, and (ii) such proceeds which shall be used by Bank to repay any other amounts due to Bank in respect of Financed Receivables based upon specific Eligible Accounts, such as the Finance Charge, Collateral Handling Fees, the Loan Fees, and Bank Expenses; provided, however, Bank may hold any proceeds of the Accounts (whether received by Bank in the Lockbox, directly from Borrower, or otherwise and whether or not in respect of Financed Receivables) as a reserve until the end of the applicable Reconciliation Period if Bank, in its discretion, determines that other Financed Receivable(s) may no longer qualify as an Eligible Account or Aggregate Eligible Accounts at any time prior to the end of the subject Reconciliation Period.
4 |
(d) This Section 2.9 does not impose any affirmative duty on Bank to perform any act other than as specifically set forth herein. All Accounts and the proceeds thereof are Collateral, and if an Event of Default occurs, Bank may, without notice, apply the proceeds of such Accounts to the Obligations.
2.10 Bank Expenses. Borrower shall pay all Bank Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, plus expenses, for documentation and negotiation of this Agreement) incurred through and after the Effective Date, when due.
2.11 Repayment of Obligations; Adjustments

Any payment made pursuant to (B) or (C) shall also include all accrued Finance Charges with respect to the Advances based upon Aggregate Eligible Accounts and all other amounts then due and payable hereunder.
2.11.2 Repayment on Event of Default. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Borrower will, if Bank demands (or, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 8.5 of this Agreement, immediately without notice or demand from Bank) repay all of the Obligations. The demand may, at Bank’s option, include all Credit Extensions then outstanding and all accrued Finance Charges, the Loan Fees, the Early Termination Fee, Collateral Handling Fees, attorneys’ and professional fees, court costs and expenses, Bank Expenses and any other Obligations.
2.11.3 Debit of Accounts. Bank may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts for payments or any amounts Borrower owes Bank hereunder. These debits shall not constitute a set-off.

Any such financing statements may indicate the Collateral in a manner consistent with Exhibit A hereto, or as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater detail, all in Bank’s discretion.

So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Bank, Bank shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.
9.4 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the party granting the waiver and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude Bank from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other remedy available at law or in equity, and Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.
17 |
9.5 Demand Waiver. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is liable.
9.6 Borrower Liability. Either Borrower may, acting singly, request Credit Extensions hereunder. Each Borrower hereby appoints the other as agent for itself for all purposes hereunder, including with respect to requesting Credit Extensions hereunder. Each Borrower hereunder shall be jointly and severally obligated to repay all Credit Extensions made hereunder, regardless of which Borrower actually receives said Credit Extensions, as if each Borrower hereunder directly received all Credit Extensions. Each Borrower waives (a) any suretyship defenses available to it under the Code or any other applicable law, and (b) any right to require Bank to: (i) proceed against any Borrower or any other person; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security; or (iii) pursue any other remedy. Bank may exercise or not exercise any right or remedy it has against any Borrower or any security it holds (including the right to foreclose by judicial or non-judicial sale) without affecting any Borrower’s liability.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or other related document, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Borrower to the rights of Bank under this Agreement) to seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made by Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any payment made by Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise. Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this Section 9.6 shall be null and void. If any payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this Section 9.6, such Borrower shall hold such payment in trust for Bank and such payment shall be promptly delivered to Bank for application to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

11 CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER
Except as otherwise expressly provided in any of the Loan Documents, New York law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in New York, New York; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Bank from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Bank. Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Borrower hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower at the address set forth in, or subsequently provided to Borrower in accordance with, Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrower’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.
BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS.

At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without demand or notice, Bank may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Borrower even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Obligations. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BANK TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF BORROWER, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no oral promise or statement, nor any action, inaction, delay, failure to require performance or course of conduct shall operate as, or evidence, an amendment, supplement or waiver or have any other effect on any Loan Document. Any waiver granted shall be limited to the specific circumstance expressly described in it, and shall not apply to any subsequent or other circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar, or give rise to, or evidence, any obligation or commitment to grant any further waiver. The Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of the Loan Documents merge into the Loan Documents.

Without limiting the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1, the grant of a security interest by Borrower in Section 4.1 shall survive until the termination of this Agreement and all Bank Services Agreements. The obligation of Borrower in Section 12.2 of this Agreement to indemnify Bank shall survive until the statute of limitations with respect to such claim or cause of action shall have run.

Confidential information does not include information that is: (i) either in the public domain other than as a result of Bank’s breach of this Section 12.10 or is in Bank’s possession when disclosed to Bank; or (ii) disclosed to Bank by a third party on a nonconfidential basis if Bank does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information.

Additionally, Borrower represents and warrants as follows:
Borrower and each Subsidiary is duly existing and in good standing in its state of formation and qualified and licensed to do business in, and in good standing in, any state in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized, and do not conflict with Borrower’s organizational documents, nor constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.
Borrower has good title to the Collateral, free of Liens except Permitted Liens. All inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects.

None of Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s properties or assets have been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than legally. Borrower and each Subsidiary has timely filed all required tax returns and paid, or made adequate provision to pay, all material taxes, except those being contested in good faith with adequate reserves under GAAP. Borrower and each Subsidiary has obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all government authorities that are necessary to continue its business as currently conducted except where the failure to obtain or make such consents, declarations, notices or filings would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

The undersigned certifies that these are prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied from one period to the next except as explained in an accompanying letter or footnotes.
