Exhibit 10.1

FIRST AMENDMENT

TO

LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT AND WAIVER

This First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement and Waiver (“Amendment”) is entered into as of January 31, 2015, by and between COMERICA BANK (“Bank”) and ADEPT TECHNOLOGY, INC. (“Borrower”).

RECITALS

Borrower and Bank are parties to that Loan and Security Agreement dated as June 9, 2014, as it may be amended from time to time ( “Agreement”). The parties desire to amend the Agreement further in accordance with the terms of this Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1. Borrower failed to comply with Section 6.7 of the Agreement (Accounts) by not closing its accounts with Silicon Valley Bank by January 3, 2015 (“Covenant Violation”). Borrower requested that Bank waive the Covenant Violation. Bank hereby waives the Covenant Violation. This waiver is specific as to content and time, shall be limited precisely as written, and shall not constitute a waiver of any other current or future default or Event of Default or breach of any covenant contained in the Agreement or the terms and conditions of any other Loan Documents. Bank expressly reserves all of its various rights, remedies, powers and privileges under the Agreement and the other Loan Documents due to any other default, Event of Default or breach not waived herein.

2. Exhibit A to the Agreement is amended by adding or amending and restating the following defined terms to read in their entirety as follows:

“Non-Formula Amount” means One Million Dollars ($1,000,000).”

3. Section 6.7(a) of the Agreement is amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

 

  “(a) EBITDA Loss. (i) An EBITDA loss of not greater than the following amounts for the following periods:

 

Testing Period

    Maximum
EBITDA Loss

Quarter ended December 31, 2014

   

Quarter ending March 31, 2015

   

Quarter ending June 30, 2015

   

Twelve month period ending June 30, 2015

   

(ii) An EBITDA loss of not greater than (a) $xxx for any fiscal quarter of Borrower in 2016 and (b) $xxx for the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2016.”

4. The term “Account Closing Date” set forth in Section 6.6 of the Agreement shall now mean January 30, 2015 and not January 3, 2015.

5. Exhibits E and F to the Agreement are deleted and replaced with Exhibits E and F attached hereto.

 

1

6. 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 suspension or waiver of a right must be in writing signed by an officer of Bank.

7. Unless otherwise defined, all initially capitalized terms in this Amendment shall be as defined in the Agreement. The Agreement, as amended hereby, shall be and remain in full force and effect in accordance with its respective terms and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of, or as an amendment of, any right, power, or remedy of Bank under the Agreement, as in effect prior to the date hereof.

8. Borrower represents and warrants that the representations and warranties contained in the Agreement are true and correct as of the date of this Amendment , and that (except for the Existing Defaults) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

9. As a condition to the effectiveness of this Amendment, Bank shall have received, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, the following:

 

  (a) this Amendment, duly executed by Borrower;

 

  (b) Corporate Resolutions and Incumbency Certification, duly executed by Borrower;

 

  (c) a Prime Referenced Rate Addendum to Loan and Security Agreement, duly executed by Borrower;

 

  (d) affirmation of guaranty, duly executed by the guarantors;

 

  (e) a non-refundable amendment fee in the amount of $5,000, which may be debited from any of Borrower’s accounts with Bank;

 

  (f) all reasonable Bank Expenses incurred through the date of this Amendment, which may be debited from any of Borrower’s accounts with Bank; and

 

  (g) such other documents, and completion of such other matters, as Bank may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate.

10. This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
