Contract Categories: Business Finance Loan Agreements
Summary

This amendment updates the existing Loan and Security Agreement between NTFC Capital Corporation (the lender) and Startec Global Communications Corporation (the borrower).

The amendment is effective upon payment of a $125,000 fee and includes revised terms for default events. The agreement ensures the lender's consent to these changes and sets new conditions for the borrower's obligations.
