Exhibit 10.25
FIRST AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND
SECURITY AGREEMENT AND WAIVER
This First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement and Waiver (this Amendment) is entered into as of June 22, 2011, by and between COMERICA BANK (Bank) and GCT SEMICONDUCTOR, INC. (Borrower).
RECITALS
Borrower and Bank are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of April 4, 2011, as it may be amended from time to time (the Agreement). The parties desire to amend the Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. Exhibit A of the Agreement is amended by amending and restating the definition of Profitability to read in its entirety as follows:
profitability means net income after tax (excluding non-cash warrant gains and losses) as determined in accordance with GAAP.
2. The reference to July 15, 2011 set forth in Section 6.2 of the Agreement is deleted and replaced with July 31, 2011.
3. Borrower violated (a) Section 6.2(ii) of the Loan Agreement by failing to deliver its fiscal year 2009 annual consolidated and consolidating financial statements by May 31, 2011 and (b) Section 6.7(b) of the Loan Agreement (Quarterly Profitability) for the period ended March 30, 2011 (the Violations). In addition, under Section 6.3 of the Loan Agreement, Borrower was required to notify Bank of all returns and recoveries that occurred in April of 2011 because the aggregate amount of returns and recoveries exceeded $100,000 (the Reportable Event). Borrower has also informed Bank that the opinion of Borrowers auditors with respect to Borrowers financial statements for its 2009 and 2010 fiscal years will contain a going concern emphasis paragraph (the Going Concern Paragraphs). Borrower requested that Bank (a) waive any Events of Default under the Loan Agreement resulting from the Violations, (b) acknowledge that Bank received notice of the Reportable Event and (c) consent to the delivery of the 2009 and 2010 opinions with the Going Concern Paragraphs. Bank hereby (i) waives any Event of Default which exists under the Loan Agreement as a result of the Violations (Waiver), (ii) acknowledges that Bank received notice of the Reportable Event and (iii) consents to the delivery of the 2009 and 2010 opinions with the Going Concern Paragraphs; provided, however, that the Waiver is conditioned upon Banks receipt, on or before July 31, 2011, of Borrowers fiscal year 2009 annual consolidated and consolidating financial statements.
4. No course of dealing on the part of Bank or its officers, nor any failure or delay in the exercise of any right by Bank, shall operate as a waiver thereof, and any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude any later exercise of any such right. Banks failure at any time to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision shall not affect any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance. Any suspension or waiver of a right must be in writing signed by an officer of Bank.
5. Unless otherwise defined, all initially capitalized terms in this Amendment shall be as defined in the Agreement. The Agreement, as amended hereby, shall be and remain in full force and effect in accordance with its respective terms and hereby is ratified and confirmed in all respects. Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of, or as an amendment of, any right, power, or remedy of Bank under the Agreement, as in effect prior to the date hereof.
6. Borrower represents and warrants that the representations and warranties contained in the Agreement are true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Amendment except to the extent such representation or warranty expressly relates to an earlier date, and that except as set forth herein, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
7. As a condition to the effectiveness of this Amendment, Bank shall have received, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, the following:
(a) | this Amendment, duly executed by Borrower; |
(b) | an Affirmation of Subordination Agreement, duly executed by United Microelectronics Corporation; |
(c) | a Certificate of the Secretary of Borrower with respect to incumbency and resolutions authorizing the execution and delivery of this Amendment; |
(d) | all reasonable Bank Expenses incurred through the date of this Amendment, which may be debited from any of Borrowers accounts; and |
(e) | such other documents, and completion of such other matters, as Bank may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate. |
8. This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
