This LIMITED WAIVER (this “Limited Waiver”) is being entered into as of October 15, 2009, among BANCTEC, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), the other Persons party thereto that are designated as a “Credit Party”, the Lenders party thereto from time to time and GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL CORPORATION, as Agent (in such capacity, “Agent”).

 

RECITALS

 

A.            The Borrower, the other Credit Parties, the Lenders and the Agent are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of February 7, 2008 (as the same has been or may be amended, supplemented, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth therein).

 

B.            The Borrower has informed the Agent and the Lenders that the Borrower, in contravention of the terms of Sections 4.1(a), 4.1(b), 4.2(a) and 4.2(b) of the Credit Agreement, have failed to timely deliver certain financial statements and other information required to be delivered thereunder for certain fiscal periods ending on or prior to August 31, 2009 (collectively, the “Financial Information”), and in connection therewith the Borrower has requested that the Lenders waive certain Defaults and Events of Default solely caused thereby (collectively, the “Reporting Defaults”).

 

C.            The Lenders are willing to agree to provide such requested waiver, subject to the performance and observance in full of each of the covenants, terms and conditions, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties, set forth herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Loan Parties, the Agent and the Lenders hereby agree as follows:

 

Section 1.  Limited Waiver.

 

(a)           Limited Waiver.  The Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby acknowledges the occurrence and continuance of the Reporting Defaults, which Reporting Defaults are hereby waived by the Agent and the Lenders effective as of the date hereof.  Except as explicitly set forth in this Section 1(a), nothing herein is intended to affect the continuing obligations of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties to comply with, or the continuing rights of the Lenders and Agent with respect to, any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

(b)           No Additional Waiver.  Except as expressly set forth in Section 1(a) of this Limited Waiver, nothing contained in this Limited Waiver shall be construed as a consent or waiver by the Agent or any Lender of any covenant or provision of the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or of any other contract or instrument among the Borrower and/or the other Credit Parties and the Agent or any Lender, and the failure of the Agent or the Lenders at any time or times hereafter to require strict performance by the Borrower and the other Credit Parties of any provision thereof shall not waive, affect or diminish any rights of the Agent or the

 



 

Lenders to thereafter demand strict compliance therewith.  Nothing set forth herein shall constitute a course of dealing among the parties, and neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall have any obligation to further amend, waive or modify any terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

Section 2.  Conditions Precedent.  The parties hereto agree that this Limited Waiver shall not be effective until the satisfaction in full of each of the following conditions precedent, each in a manner satisfactory to the Agent in its sole discretion:

(b)           Limited Waiver Fee.  The Borrower shall have indefeasibly paid to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, a $20,000 limited waiver fee in cash (which fee shall be fully earned and non-refundable once paid).

(a)           No Defaults.  No Default or Event of Default exists under the Credit Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

 

(b)           Binding Effect.  The Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which the Borrower or such Credit Party is party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower and such Credit Party, enforceable against the Borrower and such Credit Party in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles of general applicability.

 

(c)           Representations and Warranties.  (i) The execution, delivery and performance of this Limited Waiver have been authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Borrower and such Credit Party and will not violate the certificate of incorporation or other analogous formation document of the Borrower and such Credit Party or the bylaws or other analogous charter or organizational documents of the Borrower and such Credit Party, (ii) the representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof as though made on and as of the date hereof (except to the extent such representations or warranties are limited by their terms to a specific date) and (iii) other than the Reporting Defaults, the Borrower and such Credit Party is in full compliance with all covenants and agreements contained in the Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document.
