RECITALS
A. Bank and Borrower have entered into that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of March 18, 2010 (as the same has and may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated, the “Loan Agreement”).
B. Bank has extended credit to Borrower for the purposes permitted in the Loan Agreement.
C. Borrower is currently in default of Section 6.9(a) of the Loan Agreement for failing to comply with the Tangible Net Worth financial covenant for the month ending December 31, 2012 (the “Existing Event of Default”).
D. Borrower has requested that Bank waive the Existing Event of Default as more fully set forth herein.
E. Although Bank is under no obligation to do so, Bank is willing to waive the Existing Event of Default on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, so long as Borrower complies with the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement in a timely manner.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement, including its preamble and recitals, shall have the meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement.
2. Waiver of the Existing Event of Default. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that unless the Existing Event of Default is waived by Bank, such Existing Event of Default would constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Documents. Bank hereby waives the Existing Event of Default. Bank’s agreement to waive the Existing Event of Default shall in no way obligate Bank to make any other modifications to the Loan Agreement or to waive Borrower’s compliance with any other terms of the Loan Documents, and shall not limit or impair Bank’s right to demand strict performance of all other terms and covenants as of any date. The waiver set forth above shall not be deemed or otherwise construed to constitute a waiver of any other provisions of the Loan Agreement in connection with any other transaction.
3. Limitation of Waiver.
3.1 The waiver set forth in Section 2 above, is effective for the purposes set forth herein and shall be limited precisely as written and shall not be deemed to (a) be a consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of any other term or condition of any Loan Document, or (b) otherwise prejudice any right or remedy which Bank may now have or may have in the future under or in connection with any Loan Document.
3.2 This Agreement shall be construed in connection with and as part of the Loan Documents and all terms, conditions, representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in the Loan Documents, except as herein amended, are hereby ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect.
3.3 In addition to those Events of Default specifically enumerated in the Loan Documents, the failure to comply with the terms of any covenant or agreement contained herein shall constitute an Event of Default and shall entitle the Bank to exercise all rights and remedies provided to the Bank under the terms of any of the other Loan Documents as a result of the occurrence of the same.
