AGREEMENT
This Amendment No. 1 to the Addendum to Inventory Financing Agreement and Business Financing Agreement and Consent to Business Financing Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into and effective as of April 9, 2010, and is by and between fusionstorm, a Delaware corporation (“Dealer”), and GE Commercial Distribution Finance Corporation (“CDF”).
| A. | Dealer and CDF are party to the Business Financing Agreement dated as of September 30, 2009, the Agreement for Wholesale Financing dated as of September 30, 20099, and the Addendum to Inventory Financing Agreement and Business Financing Agreement dated as of September 30, 2009, together with all addenda thereto, as amended, modified restated or replaced from time to time, from time to time (collectively, the “Loan Agreement”). |
| B. | CDF and Dealer have agreed to the provision set forth herein on the terms and conditions contained herein. |
1. Definitions. All references to the “Agreement” or the “Loan Agreement” in the Loan Agreement and references to the “Loan Agreement” in this Agreement, shall be deemed to be references to the Loan Agreement as it may be amended, restated, extended, renewed, replaced, or otherwise modified from time to time. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given them in the Loan Agreement.
2. Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first written above, but only if this Agreement has been executed by Dealer and CDF, and only if all of the documents listed on Exhibit A to this Agreement have been delivered on the date hereof (unless otherwise noted) and, as applicable, executed, sealed, attested, acknowledged, certified, or authenticated, each in form and substance satisfactory to CDF, and the Consent and Amendment Fee (as defined on Exhibit A) shall have been paid to CDF in all in cash or same day funds. Once paid, the Consent and Amendment Fee shall be fully earned and nonrefundable under any circumstances. Dealer hereby authorizes CDF to make a loan under the Accounts Receivable Facility to pay the Consent and Amendment Fee.
3. Waiver. Dealer has breached the covenant in Section 5(a) of the Addendum to Inventory Financing Agreement and Business Financing Agreement, regarding Dealer’s EBITDA to Dealer’s Gross Revenues for the December 31, 2009 calculation date and the March 31, 2010 calculation date, and the covenant in Section 5(b) of the Addendum to Inventory Financing Agreement and Business Financing Agreement regarding Dealer’s Funded Debt to Dealer’s EBITDA for the March 31, 2010 calculation date, giving rise to Defaults under Section 6.1 of the Business Financing Agreement and Section 11 of the Inventory Financing Agreement (collectively, the “Current Defaults”).
| 1606631.8 |
The Current Defaults entitle CDF to all of its remedies under the Loan Agreement, the Other Agreements and at law and equity.
Dealer has requested that CDF waive the Current Defaults. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, CDF hereby waives the Current Defaults.
The waivers contained in this Section 3 are specific in intent and are valid only for the specific purpose for which they are given. Nothing contained herein obligates CDF to agree to any additional waivers of any provisions of the Loan Agreement or the Other Agreements. The waivers contained in this Section 3 are waivers of only the Current Defaults, and shall not operate as waivers of CDF’s right to exercise remedies resulting from (i) any other existing and/or continuing Default whether or not of a similar nature and whether or not CDF is actually aware of any such existing and/or continuing Default, or (ii) any future Defaults, whether or not of a similar nature and whether or not known to CDF.
4. Consent. Dealer has notified CDF that it intends to purchase Global Netoptex, Inc. through an Acquisition that is an asset purchase (the “Pending Acquisition”) for approximately $1,000,000, subject to set-offs (as described in the definitive agreement), as such amount is calculated in accordance with the Loan Agreement (the “Purchase Price”). The Pending Acquisition is not permitted under the terms of the Loan Agreement.
Section 5.2.2(x)(I) and (II) of the Loan Agreement reads as follows:
“... (I) the purchase price, including seller notes that are not subordinated to CDF in a manner satisfactory to CDF in its sole discretion, assumed indebtedness for borrowed money or similar items, but excluding any deferred purchase price or earn-outs, and excluding all expenses incurred in connection with all such Mergers and Acquisitions not to exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000,00), and (II) the gross amount of all such Capital Stock Transactions, does not exceed Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars $3,500,000.00 in the aggregate in any rolling twelve month period ending on the date of the consummation of any such Merger, Acquisition or Capital Stock Transaction...”
CDF hereby agrees that the dollars limitations Section 5.2.2.(x)(I) and (II) of the Loan Agreement shall not be applicable to the Pending Acquisition. The Purchase Price, however, shall be included for purposes of Section 5.2.2(x)(I) and (II) of the Loan Agreement when calculating the permissibility of future Acquisitions or Capital Stock Transactions.
All other requirements and limitations regarding an Acquisition contained in the Loan Agreement shall remain applicable to the Pending Acquisition, including, without limitation, the requirement that immediately following the Pending Acquisition, Dealer’s Available Credit minus Dealer’s outstanding loans under its Accounts Receivable Facility will be at least Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000.00).
The consents in this Section 4 are subject to Dealer delivering the documents required hereby after the closing of the Pending Acquisition (and the failure to so deliver such documents shall render the foregoing consent void). The consents in this Section 4 are specific in nature and intent and are not a consent by CDF to a deviation or departure of any other term or provision of the Loan Agreement or the Other Documents Nothing contained herein obligates CDF to agree to any additional waivers of, or consents to, any provisions of any of the Loan Agreement or the Other Agreements.

5. Accounts Receivable Acquired in the Pending Acquisition. Dealer acknowledges and agrees with CDF that any accounts receivable of Global Netoptex, Inc. and/or acquired by Dealer in the Pending Acquisition shall not be eligible Accounts unless such accounts receivable meet the eligibility criteria set forth in the Loan Agreement as such eligibility criteria are determined by CDF.
6. Limited Guaranty. CDF agrees that if (A) no Default (after giving effect to the waivers in Section 3 hereof) has occurred and is continuing from the date hereof through and including the later to occur of (i) the date of delivery of the covenant compliance certificate for the fiscal quarter ending closest to the, Settlement Date (whether before or after the Settlement Date) and (ii) the Settlement Date (as defined below) and (B) if the litigation between Dealer and PC Specialists, Inc. d/b/a Technology Integration Group in the San Francisco Superior Court has settled for an amount of $2,000,000 or less, after giving effect to any such payment Dealer’s Available Credit minus Dealer’s Outstanding loans under its Accounts Receivable Facility shall be greater than zero, and such settlement shall have no other monetary or non-monetary judgments or restrictions on Dealer or its subsidiaries or their operations, then CDF shall release the Limited Guaranty of the Obligations of even date herewith given by ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇. “Settlement Date” means the date that all litigation and claims between Dealer and PC Specialists. Inc. d/b/a Technology Integration Group in the San Francisco Superior Court has been definitively settled and approved by all applicable judicial authorities.

On or before 5:00 pm Atlanta, Georgia time on April 12, 2010, Dealer shall deliver a signed Borrowing Base Certificate showing that after giving effect to the Pending Acquisition, Dealer’s Available Credit minus Dealer’s outstanding loan under its Accounts Receivable Facility will be at least Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000.00) (the “Minimum Availability”). The failure of Dealer to deliver to CDF a signed Borrowing Base Certificate by such date and time showing the Minimum Availability shall be an immediate Default.
8. Consent of Avnet. On or before 5:00 pm Atlanta, Georgia time on April 13, 2010, Dealer shall deliver to CDF an agreement from Avnet, Inc. (“Avnet”) in form and substance satisfactory to CDF (i) consenting to the Pending Acquisition, (ii) waiving any defaults or breaches under any document or agreement between Dealer and Avnet (collectively, the “Avnet Documents”), and (iii) containing such other terms and agreements as may be acceptable to CDF. The failure by Dealer to deliver CDF the Avnet Agreement shall be an immediate Default. In addition, should Avnet not provide the Avnet Agreement but declare a breach or default under the Avnet Documents, then Dealer agrees that an immediate Default shall occur and CDF shall be entitled to all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement, the Other Agreements, and at law and in equity.
