SECOND AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
EXHIBIT 10.2
SECOND AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
This Second Amendment, dated as of December 23, 2005, is made by and among ZAREBA SYSTEMS, INC., f/k/a Waters Instruments, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the “Original Borrower”), WATERS MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC., a Minnesota corporation (“Waters Medical Systems”), and XXXXX FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, acting through its XXXXX FARGO BUSINESS CREDIT operating division (the “Lender”).
Recitals
Effective August 1, 2005, Xxxxx Fargo Business Credit, Inc. (the “Original Lender”) merged into Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association.
The Original Borrower and the Lender are parties to a Credit and Security Agreement dated as of September 7, 2004 as amended by the First Amendment to Credit and Security Agreement dated as of April 29, 2005 (which, as the same is amended hereby, shall be the “Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms used in these recitals have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement unless otherwise specified.
Effective on or about October 28, 2005, the Original Borrower changed its name to Zareba Systems, Inc. (“Zareba”).
The Original Borrower organized Waters Medical Systems as a new wholly-owned subsidiary on March 2, 2005, and on June 30, 2005 transferred all the assets of the Original Borrower’s medical products division to Waters Medical Systems. The Lender was not at or before such times apprised of such transactions and has not consented thereto.
The transfer of assets and business operations to Waters Medical Systems as described above has caused the assets owned by Waters Medical Systems to not be available for inclusion as Collateral or in the Borrowing Base (as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement.)
The Original Borrower has requested that certain amendments be made to the Credit Agreement to make the assets of Waters Medical Systems available for inclusion in such Collateral and Borrowing Base, which the Lender is willing to make pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, it is agreed as follows:
1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Second Amendment that are defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the same meanings as defined therein, unless otherwise defined herein.
2. “Borrower” Definition; Security Interest; Borrowing Base. The term “Borrower” shall for all purposes as used herein and in the Credit Agreement and in any other Loan Document refer to both the Original Borrower and Waters Medical Systems. From and after the date of this Second Amendment (a) the Original Borrower and Waters Medical Systems will be jointly and severally liable for all Obligations, whether now existing or hereinafter created or incurred, and whether originally owing to Xxxxx Fargo Business Credit, Inc., as the Original Lender, or to Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as creditor under any Xxxxx Fargo Bank Obligation, or as Lender, and (b) Waters Medical Systems will be deemed to have granted to the Lender a security interest in and to all the Collateral as security for the payment and performance of all the Obligations in accordance with Article III of the Credit Agreement. Collateral owned by Waters Medical Systems will be included in the Borrowing Base to the extent it otherwise satisfies the requirements therefore; provided that Eligible Inventory will also exclude Inventory constituting products sold by Waters Medical Systems.
3. No Other Changes. Except as explicitly amended by this Amendment, all of the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply to any advance or letter of credit thereunder.
4. Effectiveness; Post-Execution Covenants. This Second Amendment shall be effective immediately upon execution hereof by the Original Borrower and Waters Medical Systems, and delivery hereof to the Lender. Not later than 15 days after such date the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender each of the following, each in substance and form acceptable to the Lender in its sole discretion:
