(a)  Except as herein expressly amended, all terms, covenants and provisions of the Security Agreement are and shall remain in full force and effect and all references therein to such Security Agreement shall henceforth refer to the Security Agreement as amended by this Amendment. This Amendment shall be deemed to be a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents.

 

(b)  This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and to the Credit Agreement and their respective successors and assigns. No third party beneficiaries are intended in connection with this Amendment.

 

(c)  THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE; PROVIDED THAT THE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.

Any failure by the Administrative Agent to receive the hard copy executed original of such document shall not diminish the binding effect of receipt of the facsimile transmitted executed original of such document of the party whose hard copy page was not received by the Administrative Agent.

 

(e)  This Amendment, together with the Security Agreement, contains the entire and exclusive agreement of the parties hereto with reference to the matters discussed herein and therein.

A.    Company and Agent are parties to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of January 23, 2001, among Artesyn Technologies, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries as borrowers, the lenders therein, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”).

 

B.    Pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement (as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement), Company has granted to Agent, for the benefit of the lenders thereunder, a security interest in substantially all of Company’s domestic real and personal property (the “Collateral”), including, without limitation, the Account (as defined below), all funds deposited in the Account to secure the payment and performance of certain obligations of Company to the lenders under the Loan Agreement (the “Obligations”).

 

C.    Company has agreed to maintain deposit account number 2090002083994 in its name (the “Account”) in its name at Bank, into which Company shall deposit cash, checks, drafts or other orders for payment of money relating to or constituting payments made in respect of any and all Collateral (collectively, the “Payments”).

 

D.    Company, Agent and Bank are entering into this Agreement to provide for the disposition of net proceeds of cash, checks, drafts and other orders for the payment of money deposited by Company into the Account.

 

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, Company, Agent and Bank agree as follows:

 

1.    Bank is hereby authorized:

 

(a)  to charge the Account for all returned checks, service charges, and other fees and charges associated with this Agreement;

 

(b)  to follow its usual procedures in the event the Account or any check, draft or other order for payment of money should be or become the subject of any writ, levy, order or other similar judicial or regulatory order or process (“Order”); and

 

(c)  upon notification by the Agent that an Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement) has occurred and is continuing and for so long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, to transfer pursuant to Agent’s instructions any collected and available balances in the Account each Business Day by wire transfer to the following account:

Location: Dallas, Texas

ABA Routing No.: 111000012

Credit Account No.: 3750836479

(d)      during all periods other than those in which an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (as the Bank has been so notified by the Agent pursuant to subsection 1(c) hereof), the Bank may comply with Company instructions regarding the Account and funds therein.

 

2.  (a)  If, subsequent to notification by the Agent in accordance with subsection 1(c) hereof and for so long as the related Event of Default shall be continuing, the balances in the Account are not sufficient to pay Bank for any returned check, draft or other order for the payment of money, or if applicable law prohibits charge or offset against the Account, or contact with the Company, Agent agrees to pay Bank on demand the amount due Bank.

 

(b)  If the balances in the Account are not sufficient to compensate Bank for any fees or charges due Bank under this Agreement, Company agrees to pay Bank on demand the amount due Bank.

(c)  Company hereby authorizes Bank, without prior notice, from time to time to debit any other account Company may have with Bank for the amount or amounts due Bank under subsection 2(a) or 2(b).

 

(d)  Bank agrees it shall not offset against the Account, except as permitted under this Agreement, until it has been advised in writing by Agent that all of Company’s obligations which are secured by the Account and all funds deposited in the Account, are paid in full. Agent shall notify Bank promptly in writing upon payment in full of Company’s obligations and this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon receipt of such notice.

(b)  In no event will Bank be liable for any special, indirect, exemplary or consequential damages, including but not limited to lost profits.

 

(c)  Bank will be excused from failing to act or delay in acting, and no such failure or delay shall constitute a breach of this Agreement or otherwise give rise to any liability of Bank, if (i) such failure or delay is caused by circumstances beyond Bank’s reasonable control, including but not limited to legal constraint, emergency conditions, action or inaction of government, civil or military authority, fire, strike, lockout or other labor dispute, war, riot, theft, flood, earthquake or other natural disaster, breakdown of public or private or common carrier communications or transmission facilities, equipment failure, or act, negligence or default of Company or Agent or (ii) such failure or delay resulted from Bank’s reasonable belief that the action would have violated any guideline, rule or regulation of any governmental authority.

9.  Agent acknowledges and agrees that Bank has the right to charge the Account from time to time, as set forth in this Agreement, and the Account agreement, as said agreements are amended from time to time, and that Agent has no right to the sums so withdrawn by Bank.

 

10.  In addition to the original statement which will be provided to Company, Bank will provide Agent with a duplicate statement and such other account information reasonably requested by Agent. Company authorizes Bank to provide any account information requested by Agent.
