Summary

RBS Citizens, N.A. (doing business as Charter One) and Caraco Pharmaceutical Laboratories, Ltd. have agreed to temporarily suspend certain loan agreement covenants due to FDA enforcement actions and Caraco's voluntary halt of manufacturing. The bank will not enforce specific financial and operational covenants or pursue remedies for these violations until October 9, 2010, provided Caraco secures its debt with cash collateral. After this date, all rights and remedies under the original loan agreement will resume. This suspension does not waive any other current or future violations.
