FIRST AMENDMENT AND WAIVER TO LOAN AGREEMENT
Exhibit 3.12
FIRST AMENDMENT AND WAIVER
TO
This First Amendment and Waiver to Loan Agreement (this “Amendment”), dated as of June 29, 2017, 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 and Agreement dated as of June 14, 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 from the effective date of the Original Agreement to 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.
3. Amendments. The Loan Agreement is hereby amended, as follows:
(a) Section 2.1(b)(i) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
(i) Amount. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement (A) Borrower may request Advances in an aggregate outstanding principal amount not to exceed the Revolving Line less any amounts outstanding under the Ancillary Services Sublimit, and (B) amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) may be repaid and reborrowed at any time prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, at which time all Advances under this Section 2.1(b) shall be immediately due and payable. Borrower may prepay from time to time any Advances without penalty or premium.
(b) Section 6.2(a)(ii) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
(ii) as soon as available, but in any event (A) by December 31, 2017 with respect to Borrower’s 2016 fiscal year and (B) within 180 days after the end of each subsequent fiscal year of Borrower, audited (or such other level as is required by the Investment Agreement) consolidated and consolidating financial statements of Borrower prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, together with an opinion which is either unqualified, qualified only for going concern so long as Borrower’s investors provide additional equity as needed or otherwise consented to in writing by Bank on such financial statements of an independent certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Bank;
(c) The following defined terms contained in Exhibit A to the Loan Agreement are hereby amended and restated as follows:
“Cash Burn” means an amount equal to the prior period’s Cash minus the current period’s ending Cash that has been adjusted for any changes to Cash as a result of borrowings and repayments of borrowings, proceeds from the sale of equity, the exercise of stock options or warrants and paid-in-capital and minority interest and Borrower’s repayment to Jabil Inc. of $2,978,348 in June 6, 2017.
“Incremental Facility Fee” means (a) the incremental facility fee set forth in the table below based on the number of Supporting Institutions after giving effect to the increase in the number of Supporting Institutions at the time the Incremental Facility Fee is required to be paid, minus (b) the aggregate amount of the Facility Fee and any Incremental Facility Fee(s) previously paid plus (c) the product of $250 and the number of Supporting Institutions in excess of seven that are new since the last time the Facility Fee or any Incremental Facility Fee was paid.
Number of Supporting Institutions | Incremental Facility Fee | ||||

4. Representations and Warranties. Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Bank, which representations and warranties shall survive the execution and delivery hereof, that: (a) this Amendment is the legally valid and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms, and (b) except as otherwise set forth below, each of the representations and warranties contained in the Loan Agreement, as well as all other representations and warranties contained in the other Loan Documents, are true and correct in all respects to the extent required under the Loan Agreement.
5. Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon Borrower and Bank’s successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Borrower and Bank’s successors and assigns.

Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Amendment without the prior written consent of Bank.

Wherever possible, each provision of this Amendment shall be interpreted in such a manner so as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but, if any provision of this Amendment shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such provision or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Amendment. All obligations of Borrower and rights of Bank expressed herein shall be in addition to and not in limitation of those provided by applicable law.
7. Counterparts; Facsimile and other Electronic Transmission. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Amendment. Receipt of an executed signature page to this Amendment by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall constitute for all purposes effective delivery thereof. Electronic records of this executed Amendment maintained by Bank shall be deemed to be originals.
