FOURTH AMENDMENT AND WAIVER
TO
This Fourth Amendment and Waiver to Loan Agreement (this “Amendment”), dated as of January 5, 2018, is executed and delivered by POGOTEC, INC. (“Borrower”) and Pacific Western Bank, a California state chartered bank (“Bank”). Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to those terms in the Loan Agreement (as defined below).
RECITALS
a. Borrower and Bank are parties to that certain Loan Agreement dated as of June 14, 2017, as amended by that certain First Amendment and Waiver to Loan Agreement dated as of June 29, 2017, that certain Second Amendment to Loan Agreement dated as of July 12, 2017, and that certain Third Amendment to Loan Agreement dated as of November 1, 2017 (the “Original Agreement”).
b. From and after the date hereof (the “Effective Date”), Borrower and Bank desire to supplement the terms and provisions of the Original Agreement as provided herein. The Original Agreement as amended hereby and as the same may be hereafter supplemented, amended, modified or restated from time to time is hereinafter referred to as the “Loan Agreement.”
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration (the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged), the parties hereto (intending to be legally bound) hereby agree as follows:
1. Incorporation. The foregoing preamble and recitals are incorporated herein by this reference.
2. Waiver. Borrower acknowledges that Borrower is currently in default under Section 6.6 of the Original Agreement (Financial Covenants) due to Borrower’s failure to maintain Remaining Months Liquidity (as defined in the Original Agreement) of at least 1.00 to 1.00 at all times as of November 30, 2017 through the Effective Date hereof (the “Existing Default”). Effective as of the Effective Date, subject to Section 10 below, Bank hereby waives the Existing Default. No course of dealing on the part of Bank or its officers, nor any failure or delay in the exercise of any right by Bank, shall operate as a waiver thereof, and any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude any later exercise of any such right. Bank’s failure at any time to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision shall not affect any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance. Any further suspension or waiver of a right must be in writing signed by an officer of Bank
