On or prior to thirty (30) days from the date hereof, the Borrowers shall cause any third party depository institution maintaining a Primary Cash Collection Account of Z-Tech, to enter into a wire transfer arrangement with respect to such Primary Cash Collection Account, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent; provided, however, that (a) in all events, all Covered Accounts shall be maintained solely with the Agent or a Lender (as applicable) on or prior to one (1) year from the date hereof, and (b) this Section shall not require Z-Tech to transfer any Covered Account that would not otherwise be covered by Section 6.8 of the Loan Agreement; and provided, further, that this Section shall not be construed to require Z-Tech to take or omit to take any action or transfer any Covered Account (individually and collectively, the “Excluded Bank Accounts”) that would violate any applicable laws or regulations (including, without limitation, ERISA).

5. Joinder. Z-Tech is hereby joined as a party to and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original signatory thereto and originally named therein as a Borrower or Maker (as the case may be). Z-Tech hereby makes all of the representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Agreement (as modified or supplemented hereby) and each other Loan Document to which more than one (1) Borrower is a party thereto and grants to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a valid and enforceable first priority security interest in and to all of its assets constituting Collateral, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances (other than any liens expressly permitted pursuant to the Loan Agreement and liens approved in writing by the Agent). Z-Tech further acknowledges and agrees that it shall be jointly and severally liable for the performance of any and all past, present and future obligations of the Borrower(s) in connection with any of the Note(s), the Loan Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents; it being understood and agreed that any and all references in the Note(s), the Loan Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents to “the Borrower” shall mean Z-Tech, individually and/or collectively with all other Borrowers.

6. Exhibit Substitutions. Schedule 1 and Exhibit 4 attached to the Loan Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety and Schedule 1 and Exhibit 4 attached hereto substituted in lieu thereof.

7. Updated Schedules. The Borrowers shall have delivered to the Agent and its counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent and its counsel in all respects, updated schedules to the Loan Agreement, all of which shall be attached and be deemed a part of the Loan Agreement.

10. Miscellaneous.

(i) Each Borrower hereby represents, warrants, acknowledges and agrees that as of the date hereof (i) there are no set-offs, defenses, deductions or counterclaims against and no defaults under any of the Notes, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) no act, event or condition has occurred which, with notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a default under any of the Notes, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document; (iii) all of the representations and warranties of the Borrowers contained in the Loan Agreement are true and correct as of the date hereof (except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date), unless the Borrowers are unable to remake and redate any such representation or warranty, in which case the Borrowers have previously disclosed the same to the Agent and the Lenders in writing, and such inability does not constitute or give rise to an Event of Default; (iv) all schedules attached to the Loan Agreement with respect to any particular representation and warranty of the Borrowers set forth in the Loan Agreement (as modified) remain true, accurate and complete; (v) all accrued and unpaid interest and fees payable with respect to the Loan have been paid; and (vi) there has been no material adverse change in the business, property or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrowers since the date of the most recent financial statements listed on Schedule 5.3.

(ii) The Borrowers, and their respective representatives, successors and assigns, hereby jointly and severally, knowingly and voluntarily RELEASE, DISCHARGE, and FOREVER WAIVE and RELINQUISH any and all claims, demands, obligations, liabilities, defenses, affirmative defenses, setoffs, counterclaims, actions, and causes of action of whatsoever kind or nature, whether known or unknown, which they have, may have, or might have or may assert now or in the future against the Agent and/or the Lenders directly or indirectly, arising out of, based upon, or in any manner connected with any transaction, event, circumstance, action, failure to act, or occurrence of any sort or type, in each case related to, arising from or in connection with the Loan, whether known or unknown, and which occurred, existed, was taken, permitted, or begun prior to the date hereof (including, without limitation, any claim, demand, obligation, liability, defense, counterclaim, action or cause of action relating to or arising from the grant by the Borrowers to the Agent and/or the Lenders of a security interest in or encumbrance on collateral that is, was or may be subject to, or an agreement by which the Borrowers are bound and which contains, a prohibition on further mortgaging or encumbering the same). The Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that the execution of this Modification by the Agent and the Lenders shall not constitute an acknowledgment of or an admission by the Agent and/or the Lenders of the existence of any such claims or of liability for any matter or precedent upon which any liability may be asserted.

 

7


(iii) Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing contained in this Modification is intended to or shall otherwise act to nullify, discharge, or release any obligation incurred in connection with the Notes, the Loan Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents or to waive or release any collateral given by any Borrower to secure the Notes, nor shall this Modification be deemed or considered to operate as a novation of the Notes, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Except to the extent of any express conflict with this Modification or except as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Modification, all of the terms and conditions of the Notes, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect, and the same are hereby expressly approved, ratified and confirmed. In the event of any express conflict between the terms and conditions of the Notes, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents and this Modification, this Modification shall be controlling and the terms and conditions of such other documents shall be deemed to be amended to conform with this Modification.

(iv) If any term, condition, or any part thereof, of this Modification, the Loan Agreement or of the other Loan Documents shall for any reason be found or held to be invalid or unenforceable by any court or governmental agency of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the remainder of such term, provision or condition nor any other term, provision, or condition of this Modification, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and this Modification, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall survive and be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable term, provision or condition had not been contained therein.

(v) Each Borrower acknowledges that, at all times prior to and through the date hereof, the Agent and the Lenders have acted in good faith and have conducted themselves in a commercially reasonable manner in their relationship with such Borrower in connection with this Modification and in connection with the obligations of the Borrowers to the Agent and the Lenders under the Loan; the Borrowers hereby waiving and releasing any claims to the contrary.

(vi) Each Borrower, Lender and the Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the date hereof, all references to the “Loan Agreement” set forth in any Loan Document shall mean the Loan Agreement, as modified pursuant to this Modification and any other modification of the Loan Agreement dated prior to the date hereof.

(vii) Each Borrower hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, such Borrower is indebted to the Lenders in respect of the amounts due and owing under the Notes, all such amounts remain outstanding and unpaid and all such amounts are payable in full, without offset, defenses, deduction or counterclaim of any kind or character whatsoever.

(viii) Each Borrower acknowledges (a) that it has participated in the negotiation of this Modification, and no provision of this Modification shall be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party hereto by any court or other governmental or judicial authority by reason of such party having or being deemed to have structured, dictated or drafted such provision; (b) that it has had access to an attorney of its choosing in the negotiation of the terms of and in the preparation and execution of this Modification, and it has had the opportunity to review, analyze, and discuss with its counsel this Modification, and the underlying factual matters relevant to this Modification, for a sufficient period of time prior to the execution and delivery hereof; (c) that all of the terms of this Modification

 

8
