SECOND AMENDMENT TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO LOAN SECURITY AGREEMENT (this "Amendment") is
made and entered into as of December 29, 1995, by and among TELTRONICS, INC., a
Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to as "Teltronics") with its chief
executive office and principal place of business at 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx
Xxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000; AT SUPPLY, INC., a Texas corporation (hereinafter
referred to "ATS"; Teltronics and ATS are collectively referred to hereinafter
as "Borrowers" and individually as a "Borrower"); and THE CIT GROUP/CREDIT
FINANCE, INC., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to as "Lender")
with an office at 000 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000.
RECITALS:
Lender and Teltronics are parties to a certain Loan and Security
Agreement dated October 28, 1994, as amended by that certain letter agreement
dated December 27, 1994 (as at any time amended, the "Loan Agreement"),
pursuant to which Lender has made certain revolving credit and term loans to
Teltronics.
TTG Acquisition Corp. ("TTG") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Teltronics, and TTG owns eighty percent (80%) of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of ATS.
In order to utilize the financial powers of Borrowers in the most
efficient and economic manner and as a matter of administrative convenience,
Teltronics and ATS desire that ATS become a party to the Loan Agreement and
that Lender make revolving loans thereunder to Borrowers based upon the value
of the assets of Borrowers.
Borrowers' business is a mutual and collective enterprise and
Borrowers believe that the consolidation of all loans and other financial
accommodations under the Loan Agreement will enhance the aggregate borrowing
powers of Borrowers and ease the administration of their loan relationships
with Lender, all to the mutual advantage of Borrowers.
As an accommodation to Borrowers and at Borrowers' request in
furtherance of Borrowers' mutual and collective enterprise, Lender is willing
to extend credit to Borrowers and to administer Borrowers' collateral security
therefor on a combined basis in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement
as amended hereby.
The parties desire to amend the Loan Agreement as hereinafter set
forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of TEN DOLLARS ($10.00), in
hand paid and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
2
parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS. All capitalized terms used in this Amendment,
unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms
in the Loan Agreement.
2. ASSUMPTION OF LOANS. In consideration of Lender's consent to
ATS becoming a party to the Loan Agreement, ATS assumes and agrees to be
jointly and severally liable with Teltronics for all Revolving Loans and the
Term Loan outstanding on the date of this Agreement and hereafter outstanding
from time to time under the Loan Agreement, together with all fees, expenses
and other charges payable in the collection thereof or otherwise in connection
therewith.
3. CO-BORROWING ARRANGEMENT. Borrowers acknowledge that they have
requested Lender to extend financial accommodations to them, on a combined
basis, in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement as hereby
amended. Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable for the payment of
the Term Loan and all Revolving Loans heretofore or hereafter made by Lender
under the Loan Agreement and all interest, fees and other charges payable in
connection with the Term Loan and the Revolving Loans. A request by
Teltronics for a Revolving Loan shall be deemed to be a request for a Revolving
Loan by both of them, and each shall be an agent for the other for such
purposes, and Revolving Loan made by Lender under the Loan Agreement, whether
or not advanced to a bank account in the name of only one of them, shall be
deemed to be for the account and mutual benefit of both of them; provided,
however, that in no event shall Revolving Loans made by Lender based on the
value of the Eligible Inventory and Eligible Accounts of ATS exceed $500,000 in
the aggregate. ATS hereby appoints Teltronics as, and Teltronics shall act
under this Agreement as, the representative of ATS for all purposes, including
requesting borrowings and receiving account statements and other notices and
communications to Borrowers (or either of them) from Lender. Lender may rely,
and shall be fully protected in relying on any request for borrowing,
disbursement instructions, reports, information or any other notice or
communication made or given by Teltronics, whether in its own name, on behalf of
ATS or on behalf of the "Borrowers" and Lender shall have no obligation to make
any inquiry or request any confirmation from or on behalf of ATS as to the
binding effect on ATS of any such request, instruction, report, information,
notice or communication, nor shall the joint and several character of
Borrowers' liability for the Obligations be affected. Each loan made by Lender
shall be disbursed to the loan account of the Borrower for whom such loan was
requested, and each Borrower confirms that such arrangement shall have no
effect on the joint and several character of their liability for the
Obligations to the extent provided herein and in the Loan Agreement.

understood to mean and include any accounts of Teltronics or ATS that meet

Loan Agreement and any inventory of Teltronics or ATS that meets the

Agreement; and
(c) Any requirement for the giving by Lender of any notice to
Borrowers shall be deemed fully complied with and discharged by the giving
of such notice to either Teltronics or ATS, and notice to either shall be
deemed to constitute an effective notice to both.

Obligation payable to Lender, it will forthwith pay the same,
without notice or demand.
(b) No Reduction in Obligations. No payment or payments made by
Teltronics or ATS or any other Person or received or collected by
Lender from Teltronics or ATS or any other Person by virtue of any
action or proceeding or any setoff or appropriation or application at
any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the
Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise
affect the liability of Teltronics or ATS under this Agreement, each
of whom shall remain jointly and severally liable for the payment of
all of the Obligations until paid in full and this Agreement is
terminated.
9.13. Waiver of Suretyship Defenses. Teltronics and ATS agree that
the joint and several liability of Borrowers provided for in subsection

compromise or other indulgence granted by Lender with respect to any of
the Obligations, nor by any release of subordination of any Lien with
respect to any or all of the Collateral other agreements or arrangements
whatever with the other or with anyone else, each hereby waiving all
