(each a “Guarantor” and collectively, “Guarantors”) dated September 3, 2010, as amended by that certain First Amendment thereto dated October 21, 2010, and that certain Second Amended thereto dated May 11, 2011 (as the same may be further amended, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Sovereign Loan Agreement”), Lender agreed, among other things, to extend a $5,500,000.00 term loan (the “Loan”) to Borrower.  Borrower’s obligation to repay the Loan is evidenced by Borrower’s Term Note dated September 3, 2010, in the original principal amount of $5,500,000.00 (the “Note”).

 

Pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement by and among Borrower, Lampe Conway & Co.

The Borrower’s obligations to Lampe, as well as its obligations to Douglas Falcone pursuant to a note dated as of April 18, 2008, are subordinated in right of payment to Lender.

 

Borrower is currently in default of its obligations under the Loan Documents as a result of its failure to comply with the Liquidity Covenant contained in Section 11.1 of the Sovereign Loan Agreement on and after August 23, 2011 (the “Existing Defaults”).

 

At Borrower’s request, Lender has agreed to enter into this Agreement to (a) ratify and confirm the respective obligations and liabilities of Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents, (b) reaffirm, ratify and continue Lender’s liens on, and security interests in, the assets of Borrower as set forth in the Loan Documents, and (c) set forth the terms and conditions under which the Lender will forbear from exercising and enforcing the rights available to Lender under the Loan Documents as a result of the Existing Defaults.

 

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have such meaning as provided in the Loan Documents.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Borrower and all documents and agreements to be executed and delivered pursuant to the terms hereof:

 

have been duly authorized by all requisite action by Borrower;

 

will not conflict with or result in the breach of or constitute a default (upon the passage of time, delivery of notice or both) under Borrower’s formation or governing documents (if applicable), or any applicable statute, law, rule, regulation or ordinance or any indenture, mortgage, loan or other document or agreement to which Borrower is a party or by which any of them is bound or affected; and

Transfer of Claims.  If, and to the extent that, any of the Released Claims are, for any reason whatsoever, not fully, finally and forever released and discharged pursuant to the terms above, Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally grants, sells, bargains, transfers, assigns and conveys to Lenders all of the Released Claims and any proceeds, settlements and distributions relating thereto.

Borrower acknowledges that the foregoing is intended to be a general release with respect to the matters described therein.

Borrower further acknowledges that, to the extent that any such claims may exist, they are of a speculative nature so as to be incapable of objective valuation and that, to the extent that any such claims may exist and may have value, such value would constitute primarily “nuisance” value or “leverage” value in adversarial proceedings between Borrower on the one hand and Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Lenders on the other hand.  In any event, Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the value to Borrower of this Agreement and of the covenants and agreements on the part of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Lenders contained in this Agreement substantially and materially exceeds any and all value of any kind or nature whatsoever of any claims or liabilities waived or released by Borrower hereunder.
