Notwithstanding the Facilities herein or anything else contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, except in connection with the Administrative Agent's ability in its sole discretion to make Loans or incur fees, costs and expenses to protect the Collateral or preserve its first priority perfected Security Interest in the Collateral, Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Lender acknowledge and

If for any reason such rate is not available, the term "LIBOR Rate" shall mean, for any LIBOR Loan, the greater of (i) 1.50% and (ii) the rate per annum appearing on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page as the London interbank offered rate for deposits in Dollars at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) for an interest period of 30 days, on (a) each Monday immediately preceding, or (b) if any such Monday is not a Business Day, then on the Business Day immediately preceding such Monday; provided, however, if more than one rate is specified on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page, the applicable rate shall be the arithmetic mean of all such rates (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/1000 of 1%).”

Each such prepayment will be applied by Administrative Agent and Lenders first to reduce the Swingline Loan until it is reduced to zero, then to reduce the LIBOR Loans (which Borrower acknowledges may result in the payment of fees and costs) that are included in the Aggregate Revolving Loan (and consequently a ratable portion of each Lender's Revolving Loan). In addition, on any date that the Interim Floorplan Loan plus the Aggregate Floorplan Loan plus unfunded Approvals exceeds

The undersigned (“Guarantor”) has reviewed the Eighth Amendment to Credit Facilities Agreement, by and among MTM Technologies, Inc., a New York corporation, MTM TECHNOLOGIES (US), INC., a Delaware corporation, MTM Technologies (Massachusetts), LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Info Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (collectively, and separately referred to as, "Borrower" or "the Borrower"), and GE Commercial Distribution Finance Corporation ("CDF"), as Administrative Agent, and CDF, as the sole lender (the "Lender") of even date herewith (the “Eighth Amendment”), and all other documents and financial statements the Guarantor deems necessary relating to the Borrower. Capitalized terms used herein, but not defined herein, unless otherwise noted, shall have the meanings set forth in the Eighth Amendment or, if not defined therein, as defined in that certain Limited Guaranty dated as of May 28, 2009, to which the Guarantor and the Administrative Agent are a party (the Guaranty Agreement”).

 

Guarantor acknowledges and consents to all changes set forth in the Eighth Amendment, and agrees that all such changes are in the best interests of the Borrower and the Guarantor. In consideration of financial accommodations granted and which may hereafter be granted to the Borrower by Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in consideration of Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ reliance on the Guaranty Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally reaffirms pursuant to the terms of the Guaranty Agreement, each of which it is a party to, its unconditional continuing guarantee of the payment and performance of all Guarantied Obligations, and Guarantor further agrees that the validity and enforceability of the Guaranty Agreement is not and shall not be affected in any way or manner by the Eighth Amendment.

 

Guarantor hereby unconditionally reaffirms, covenants, represents, warrants, acknowledges and confirms to Administrative Agent and Lender that (i) the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement is in full force and effect, (ii) this Reaffirmation has been duly authorized by Guarantor’s governing body, members or shareholders, as the case may be, (iii) no consents are necessary from any third Person for Guarantor’s execution, delivery or performance of this Reaffirmation which have not been obtained, (iv) this Reaffirmation and the Guaranty Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws related to creditors rights generally or by the application of equity principles, (v) the Guaranty Agreement is hereby reaffirmed and ratified without qualification and is and remains in full force and effect, except that on and after the date hereof all references in the Guaranty Agreement to “the Loan Agreement” or words of like import referring to the Loan Agreement shall mean the Loan Agreement as amended by the Eighth Amendment, and (vi) each of the representations and warranties made by the Guarantor under the Guaranty Agreement are true and correct as of the date hereof.

 

Guarantor hereby unconditionally reaffirms, covenants, represents, warrants, acknowledges and confirms to Administrative Agent and each Lender that (i) Guarantor has no defenses to its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement, arising out of or relating to any facts or circumstances existing on or before the date hereof, known or unknown, to the Guarantor, the Borrower or any other Covered Person, and (ii) as of the date hereof, the Guarantor has no claim against Administrative Agent or any Lender arising from or in connection with the Credit Agreement or the Guaranty Agreement and any and all such claims are waived, released and discharged (the foregoing is not intended to waive any manifest errors in the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s records with respect to the Loan Obligations).
