Re:
Amendment to the Forbearance Agreement
Dear
Ladies and Gentleman:
This
Letter Agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) will serve to confirm certain
agreements of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Business Financial Services Inc. (“MLBFS”) and
Aspect Systems, Inc. (“Customer”) with respect to: (i) that certain FORBEARANCE
AGREEMENT
(the
“Forbearance Agreement”) dated as of July 17, 2006 between MLBFS and Customer
and the other Obligors (as that term is defined in Forbearance Agreement),
(ii)
that certain TERM
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT No. 912852522
dated as
of May 14, 2004 between MLBFS and Customer (including any and all amendments
and
extensions or modifications thereof) (collectively the “Loan Agreement”), and
(iii) all other agreements between MLBFS and Customer or any party who has
guaranteed or provided collateral for Customer’s obligations to MLBFS (a
“Guarantor”) in connection therewith (collectively the “Other Agreement”; the
Other Agreements, along with the FORBEARANCE
AGREEMENT,
and the
LOAN
AGREEMENT
are
collectively, the “Loan Documents”). Capitalized terms used herein and not
defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Loan
Documents.
Subject
to the terms hereof, effective as of the “Effective Date” (as defined below),
the Loan Documents are hereby amended as follows:
(a)
The
term “Termination Date” of the “Forbearance Agreement” shall mean April 30,
2007.
(b)
Documentation
Fee.
Customer
acknowledges and agrees that as an additional inducement for MLBFS to enter
into
this Letter Agreement, Customer shall pay MLBFS a Documentation Fee (the
“Documentation Fee”) in the amount of $500.00. Customer agrees to pay the
Documentation Fee with a check drawn on a non-Xxxxxxx Xxxxx checking account,
and agrees that the Documentation Fee will be fully non-refundable once it
has
been paid.
(c)
Subparagraph (ii) of Paragraph 7.1 of the Forbearance Agreement is hereby
amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
(ii) |
On
or before March 19, 2007 a payment in the amount of the sum of
(a)
$24,957.95 plus (b) all accrued interest to be applied towards
the
Debt.
|
(iii) |
On
or before April 13, 2007 a payment in the amount of the sum of (a)
$24,957.95 plus (b) all accrued interest to be applied towards the
Debt.
|
(iv) |
On
or before April 30, 2007 Obligors will be required to make a final
payment
in an amount equal to the then outstanding Debt, plus any of MLBFS’ out of
pocket fees, interest and costs, including but not limited to attorneys’
fees.
|
Except
as
expressly amended hereby, the Loan Documents shall continue in full force and
effect upon all of their terms and conditions. Customer and each Guarantor,
for
itself and by its respective employees, agents, servants and representatives,
does jointly and severally completely release and forever discharge MLBFS and
its parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, and divisions, and each such entity’s
officers, directors, shareholders, employees, owners, partners, agents,
successors, and assigns, of and from any and all causes of action, claims,
or
demands whatsoever, in law or in equity, whether now known or hereafter
discovered, including but not limited to those that in any way pertain to the
Loan Documents or arise from the conduct of MLBFS, its parents, affiliates,
subsidiaries, and divisions.
By
their
execution of this Letter Agreement, the below-named Guarantors hereby consent
to
the foregoing modifications to the Loan Documents, and hereby agree that the
“Obligations” under their respective Unconditional Guaranty and/or agreements
providing collateral shall extend to and include the Obligations of Customer
under the Loan Documents, as amended hereby.
Customer
and said Guarantors acknowledge, warrant and agree, as a primary inducement
to
MLBFS to enter into this Letter Agreement, that: (a) no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing under the Loan Documents; (b) each of
the
warranties of Customer in the Loan Documents is true and correct as of the
date
hereof and shall be deemed remade as of the date hereof; (c) neither Customer
nor any of said Guarantors have any claim against MLBFS or any of its affiliates
arising out of or in connection with the Loan Documents or any other matter
whasoever; and (d) neither Customer nor any of said Guarantors have any defense
to payment of any amounts owing, or any right of counterclaim for any reason
under, the Loan Documents.
Provided
that no Event of Default or event which with the giving of notice, passage
of
time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, shall then have occurred
and be continuing under the terms of the Loan Documents, the amendments and
agreements in this Letter Agreement will become effective on the date (the
“Effective Date”) upon which
(a) |
Customer
and all Guarantors shall have executed and returned the duplicate
copy of
this Letter Agreement;
|
(b) |
A
copy of the Annual Financial Statement for fiscal year ending December
31,
2006;
|
(c) |
Copies
of the monthly A/R Report, A/P Report and Inventory Report for month
ending February 28, 2007;
|
(d) |
A
copy of the Backlog Report clearly indicating upcoming
projects;
|
(e) |
A
copy of the Monthly Projections Report containing all cash and accounts
projected to be received by Customer for a six month period ending
September 30, 2007; and
|
(f) |
A
check in the amount of $500.00 drawn on a non-Merrill account for
the
Documentation Fee as stated above.
|
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if Customer and the Guarantors do not execute and return the
duplicate copy of this Letter Agreement within 5 Business Days from the date
hereof, or if for any other reason (other than the sole fault of MLBFS) the
Effective Date shall not occur within said 5 Business day period, then all
of
said amendments and agreements will, at the sole option of MLBFS, be
void.
