Accordingly, each Debtor shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own account any dividend on or other distribution, if any, with respect to such ULC Shares (except for any dividend or distribution comprised of Pledged Security Certificates of such Debtor, which shall be delivered to the Creditor to hold hereunder) and shall have the right to vote such ULC Shares and to control the direction, management and policies of the applicable ULC to the same extent as such Debtor would if such ULC Shares were not pledged to the Creditor pursuant hereto.  Nothing in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document is intended to, and nothing in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, constitute the Creditor or any Person other than the applicable Debtor, a member or shareholder of a ULC for the purposes of any ULC Laws (whether listed or unlisted, registered or beneficial), until such time as notice is given to such Debtor and further steps are taken pursuant hereto or thereto so as to register the Creditor or such other Person, as specified in such notice, as the holder of the ULC Shares.  To the extent any provision hereof would have the effect of constituting the Creditor as a member or a shareholder, as applicable, of any ULC prior to such time, such provision shall be severed herefrom and shall be ineffective with respect to ULC Shares which are Collateral of any Debtor without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this Agreement or invalidating or rendering unenforceable such provision insofar as it relates to Collateral of any Debtor which is not ULC Shares.  Except upon the exercise of rights of the Creditor to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of ULC Shares  in accordance with this Agreement, each Debtor shall not cause or permit, or enable a Pledged Issuer that is a ULC to cause or permit, the Creditor to: (a) be registered as a shareholder or member of such Pledged Issuer; (b) have any notation entered in their favour in the share register of such Pledged Issuer; (c) be held out as shareholders or members of such Pledged Issuer; (d) receive, directly or indirectly, any dividends, property or other distributions from such Pledged Issuer by reason of the Creditor holding the Security Interests over the ULC Shares; or (e) act as a shareholder of such Pledged Issuer, or exercise any rights of a shareholder including the right to attend a meeting of shareholders of such Pledged Issuer or to vote its ULC  Shares.

 

16.           Application of Proceeds.  All Proceeds of Collateral of any Debtor received by the Creditor or a Receiver may be applied to discharge or satisfy any expenses (including the Receiver’s remuneration and other expenses of enforcing the Creditor’s rights against such Debtor under this Agreement), Liens on the Collateral of such Debtor in favour of Persons other than the Creditor, borrowings, taxes and other outgoings affecting the Collateral of such Debtor or which are considered advisable by the Creditor or the Receiver to protect, preserve, repair, process, maintain or enhance the Collateral of such Debtor or prepare it for sale, lease or other disposition, or to keep in good standing any Liens on the Collateral of such Debtor ranking in priority to any of the Security Interests, or to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Collateral of such Debtor.  The balance of such Proceeds may, at the sole discretion of the Creditor, be held as collateral security for the Obligations of the applicable Debtor or be applied to such of the Obligations of the applicable Debtor (whether or not the same are due and payable) in such manner and at such times as the Creditor considers appropriate and thereafter shall be accounted for as required by Law.

17.           Continuing Liability of Debtor.  Each Debtor shall remain liable for any Obligations of such Debtor that are outstanding following realization of all or any part of the Collateral of such Debtor and the application of the Proceeds thereof.

 

18.           Creditor’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.  Effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Debtor constitutes and appoints the Creditor and any officer or agent of the Creditor, with full power of substitution, as such Debtor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power and authority in the place of such Debtor and in the name of such Debtor or in its own name, from time to time in the Creditor’s discretion, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments as, in the opinion of such attorney, may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the power: (i) to endorse such Debtor's name on any checks, notes, acceptances, money orders or other forms of payment or security that come into the Creditor's possession and on verifications of accounts and on financing statements and other public lien or security interests records, (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to endorse such Debtor’s name on notices of assignment and other notices to customers or account debtors, (iii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to sign such Debtor's name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Receivable, on drafts against customers and, on assignments of Receivables, (iv) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to notify the post office authorities to change the address for delivery of such Debtor's mail to an address designated by the Creditor and to open and dispose of all mail addressed to such Debtor, and (v) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to do all other things the Creditor reasonably deems necessary to carry out the terms of this Agreement.  Without limiting the effect of this Section, each Debtor grants the Creditor an irrevocable proxy to vote the Pledged Shares of such Debtor and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder thereof would be entitled (including giving or withholding written consents of shareholders, calling special meetings of shareholders and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Shares on the books and records of a Pledged Issuer or Pledged Securities Intermediary, as applicable), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. These powers are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until the Release Date.  Nothing in this Section affects the right of the Creditor as secured party or any other Person on the Creditor’s behalf, to sign and file or deliver (as applicable) all such financing statements, financing change statements, notices, verification statements and other documents relating to the Collateral and this Agreement as the Creditor or such other Person considers appropriate.  Each Debtor hereby ratifies and confirms, and agrees to ratify and confirm, whatever lawful acts the Creditor or any of the Creditor’s sub-agents, nominees or attorneys do or purport to do in exercise of the power of attorney granted to the Creditor pursuant to this Section.

19.           Performance by Creditor of Debtor’s Obligations.  If any Debtor fails to perform or comply with any of the obligations of such Debtor under this Agreement, the Creditor may, but need not, perform or otherwise cause the performance or compliance of such obligation, provided that such performance or compliance shall not constitute a waiver, remedy or satisfaction of such failure.  The expenses of the Creditor incurred in connection with any such performance or compliance shall be payable by such Debtor to the Creditor immediately on demand, and until paid, any such expenses shall form part of the Obligations of such Debtor and shall be secured by the Security Interests of such Debtor.

 

20.           Interest.  If any amount payable by any Debtor to the Creditor under this Agreement is not paid when due, such Debtor shall pay to the Creditor, immediately on demand, interest on such amount from the date due until paid, at the Default Rate.  All amounts payable by such Debtor to the Creditor under this Agreement, and all interest on all such amounts, compounded monthly on the last Business Day of each month, shall form part of the Obligations of such Debtor and shall be secured by the Security Interests of such Debtor.

 

21.           Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability and shall be severed from the balance of this Agreement, all without affecting the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

22.           Rights of Creditor; Limitations on Creditor’s Obligations.

 

	
  

	
(a)

	
Limitations on Creditor’s Liability.  The Creditor shall not be liable to any Debtor or any other Person for any failure or delay in exercising any of the rights of such Debtor under this Agreement (including any failure to take possession of, collect, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Collateral of such Debtor, or to preserve rights against prior parties).  Neither the Creditor, a Receiver nor any agent of the Creditor (including, in Alberta or British Columbia, any sheriff) is required to take, or shall have any liability for any failure to take or delay in taking, any steps necessary or advisable to preserve rights against other Persons under any Collateral of any Debtor in its possession.  Neither the Creditor, any Receiver nor any agent of the Creditor shall be liable for any, and each Debtor shall bear the full risk of all, loss or damage to any and all of the Collateral of such Debtor (including any Collateral in the possession of the Creditor, any Receiver or any agent of the Creditor) caused for any reason other than the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Creditor, such Receiver or such agent of the Creditor.

(b)

	
Preservation of Collateral. The Creditor may, in its Permitted Discretion, at any time following notice to the applicable Debtor (provided that no such notice shall be required after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) discharge any lien or encumbrance on the Collateral of such Debtor (including any past due rent or other obligations owing to any landlord, warehouseman or bailee on whose property any of the Collateral of such Debtor is stored) or bond the same, pay any insurance, maintain guards, pay any service bureau, obtain any record or take any other action to preserve the Collateral of such Debtor and charge the cost thereof to the applicable Debtor's loan account(s) as an Obligation of such Debtor secured by the Collateral of such Debtor. The Creditor shall have the right, at any time, whether or not an Event of Default has occurred, without notice to or assent of any Debtor, in the Creditor’s name, in the name of any Debtor or in the name of a nominee of the Creditor, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to the Receivables or the other Collateral of any Debtor, by mail, telephone or otherwise (except that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Creditor shall conduct all such verifications in the name of and/or on behalf of the applicable Debtor and not in the Creditor’s own name or the name of any nominee of the Creditor).

 

	
  

	
(c)

	
Debtor Remains Liable under Receivables and Contracts.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, each Debtor shall remain liable under each of the documents giving rise to the Receivables of such Debtor and under each of the Contracts of such Debtor to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by such Debtor thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of each such document and Contract.  The Creditor shall have no obligation or liability under any Receivable of any Debtor (or any document giving rise thereto) or Contract of any Debtor by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Creditor of any payment relating to such Receivable or Contract pursuant hereto, and in particular (but without limitation), the Creditor shall not be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Debtor under or pursuant to any Receivable of such Debtor (or any document giving rise thereto) or under or pursuant to any Contract of such Debtor to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Receivable of such Debtor (or any document giving rise thereto) or under any Contract of such Debtor, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time.

[Reserved].

(e)

	
Analysis of Receivables.  At any time and from time to time, the Creditor shall have the right to analyze and verify the Receivables of any Debtor in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and each Debtor shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Creditor may require in connection therewith.  At any time and from time to time, the Creditor may in its own name or in the name of others (including any Debtor) communicate with Account Debtors on the Receivables of any Debtor and parties to the Contracts of any Debtor to verify with them to its satisfaction the existence, status, amount and terms of any Receivable or any Contract of any Debtor.  At any time and from time to time, upon the Creditor’s reasonable request and at the expense of the applicable Debtor, such Debtor shall furnish to the Creditor (i) reports showing reconciliations, aging and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Receivables of such Debtor and (ii) any documents evidencing and relating to the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Receivables and the Contracts of such Debtor, including all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts

Use of Agents. The Creditor may perform any of its rights or duties under this Agreement by or through agents and is entitled to retain counsel and to act in reliance on the advice of such counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under this Agreement.

 

23.           Dealings by Creditor.  The Creditor shall not be obliged to exhaust its recourse against any Debtor or any other Person or against any other security it may hold with respect to the Obligations of such Debtor or any part thereof before realizing upon or otherwise dealing with the Collateral of such Debtor in such manner as the Creditor may consider desirable.  The Creditor may grant extensions of time and other indulgences, take and give up security, accept compositions, grant releases and discharges and otherwise deal with any Debtor and any other Person, and with any or all of the Collateral of such Debtor, and with other security and sureties, as the Creditor may see fit, all without prejudice to the Obligations of any Debtor or to the rights and remedies of the Creditor under this Agreement.  The powers conferred on the Creditor under this Agreement are solely to protect the interests of the Creditor in the Collateral of each Debtor and shall not impose any duty upon the Creditor to exercise any such powers.

 

24.           Communication.  Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given under this Agreement will be made in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, or in the case of a party which has become a Debtor pursuant to Section 36 hereof, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement to the address or facsimile number specified on the signature page of the applicable Supplement, or to such other address as the relevant Debtor may specify from time to time.

 

25.           Release of Information.  Each Debtor authorizes the Creditor to provide a copy of this Agreement and such other information as may be requested of the Creditor (i) to the extent necessary to enforce the Creditor’s rights, remedies and entitlements under this Agreement, (ii) to any assignee or prospective assignee of all or any part of the Obligations, and (iii) as required by applicable Law.

(b)

	
Each Debtor shall indemnify the Creditor against, and hold the Creditor harmless from, any and all losses, claims, cost recovery actions, damages, expenses and liabilities of whatsoever nature or kind and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses  and all applicable taxes to which the Creditor may become subject arising out of or in connection with (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement and the performance by such Debtor of its obligations hereunder, (ii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Obligations of such Debtor, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether the Creditor is a party thereto, (iii) any other aspect of this Agreement, or (iv) the enforcement of the Creditor’s rights hereunder and any related investigation, defence, preparation of defence, litigation and enquiries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to the Creditor, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence (it being acknowledged that ordinary negligence does not necessarily constitute gross negligence) or wilful misconduct of or material breach of this Agreement by the Creditor.

 

	
  

	
(c)

	
No Debtor shall assert, and each Debtor hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law), (i) any claim against the Creditor (or any director, officer or employee thereof), on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, and (ii) all of the rights, benefits and protections given by any present or future statute that imposes limitations on the rights, powers or remedies of a secured party or on the methods of, or procedures for, realization of security, including any “seize or sue” or “anti-deficiency” statute or any similar provision of any other statute.

 

	
  

	
(d)

- 27 -

  

 

27.           Release of Debtor.  Upon the written request of any Debtor given at any time on or after the Release Date, the Creditor shall, at the expense of such Debtor, release such Debtor and the Collateral of such Debtor from the Security Interests and such release shall serve to terminate any licence granted in this Agreement.  Upon such release, and at the request and expense of such Debtor, the Creditor shall execute and deliver to such Debtor such releases and discharges as such Debtor may reasonably request.

 

28.           Additional Security.  This Agreement is in addition to, and not in substitution of, any and all other security previously or concurrently delivered by any Debtor or any other Person to the Creditor, all of which other security shall remain in full force and effect.

 

29.           Alteration or Waiver.  None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the Creditor.  The Creditor shall not, by any act or delay, be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof.  No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Creditor, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.  No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  A waiver by the Creditor of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Creditor would otherwise have on any future occasion.  Neither the taking of any judgment nor the exercise of any power of seizure or sale shall extinguish the liability of any Debtor to pay the Obligations of such Debtor, nor shall the same operate as a merger of any covenant contained in this Agreement or of any other liability, nor shall the acceptance of any payment or other security constitute or create any novation.

 

30.           Environmental Licence and Indemnity.  Each Debtor hereby grants to the Creditor and its employees and agents an irrevocable and non-exclusive licence, subject to the rights of tenants, to enter any of the premises of such Debtor to conduct audits, testing and monitoring with respect to hazardous substances and to remove and analyze any hazardous substance at the cost and expense of such Debtor (which cost and expense shall form part of the Obligations of such Debtor and shall be payable immediately on demand and secured by the Security Interests created by this Agreement).

 

31.           Amalgamation.  If any Debtor is a corporation, such Debtor acknowledges that if it amalgamates or merges with any other corporation or corporations, then (i) the Collateral and the Security Interests of such Debtor shall extend to and include all the property and assets of the amalgamated corporation and to any property or assets of the amalgamated corporation thereafter owned or acquired, (ii) the term “Debtor”, where used in this Agreement, shall extend to and include the amalgamated corporation, and (iii) the term “Obligations”, where used in this Agreement, shall extend to and include the Obligations of the amalgamated corporation.

 

32.           Governing Law; Attornment.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the Province of Ontario, and the federal Laws of Canada applicable therein.  Without prejudice to the ability of the Creditor to enforce this Agreement in any other proper jurisdiction, each Debtor irrevocably submits and attorns to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of such province.  To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Debtor irrevocably waives any objection (including any claim of inconvenient forum) that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in the courts of such Province.

33.           Interpretation.  The definitions of terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined.  Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms.  The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”.  The word “or” is disjunctive; the word “and” is conjunctive.  The word “shall” is mandatory; the word “may” is permissive.  Unless the context requires otherwise (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set out herein), (b) any reference herein to any statute or any section thereof shall, unless otherwise expressly stated, be deemed to be a reference to such statute or section as amended, restated or re-enacted from time to time, (c) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and permitted assigns, (d) the words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder”, and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, and (e) all references herein to Sections shall be construed to refer to Sections of this Agreement, Section headings are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.  Any reference in this Agreement to a Permitted Lien is not intended to subordinate or postpone, and shall not be interpreted as subordinating or postponing, or as any agreement to subordinate or postpone, any Security Interest to any Permitted Lien.

 

34.           Paramountcy.  In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Credit Agreement then, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, the provisions contained in the Credit Agreement shall prevail to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency and the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent necessary to eliminate such conflict or inconsistency, it being understood that the purpose of this Agreement is to add to, and not detract from, the rights granted to the Creditor under the Credit Agreement.  If any act or omission of any or all Debtors is expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement but is expressly prohibited under this Agreement, such act or omission shall be permitted.  If any act or omission is expressly prohibited under this Agreement, but the Credit Agreement does not expressly permit such act or omission, or if any act is expressly required to be performed under this Agreement but the Credit Agreement does not expressly relieve any or all Debtors from such performance, such circumstance shall not constitute a conflict between the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Credit Agreement.

If any Debtor or the Creditor is an individual, then the term “Debtor” or “Creditor”, as applicable, shall also include his or her heirs, administrators and executors.

36.           Additional Debtors.  Additional Persons may from time to time after the date of this Agreement become Debtors under this Agreement by executing and delivering to the Creditor a supplemental agreement (a “Supplement”) to this Agreement, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.  Effective from and after the date of the execution and delivery by any Person to the Creditor of a Supplement:

 

	
  

	
(i)

	
such Person shall be, and shall be deemed for all purposes to be, a Debtor under this Agreement with the same force and effect, and subject to the same agreements, representations, indemnities, liabilities, obligations and Security Interests, as if such Person had been an original signatory to this Agreement as a Debtor; and

 

	
  

	
(ii)

	
all Collateral of such Person shall be subject to the Security Interest from such Person as security for the due payment and performance of the “Liabilities” of such Person in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

 

The execution and delivery of a Supplement by any additional Person shall not require the consent of any Debtor and all of the Obligations of each Debtor and the Security Interests granted thereby shall remain in full force and effect, notwithstanding the addition of any new Debtor to this Agreement.

 

37.           Acknowledgment of Receipt/Waiver.  The Debtor acknowledges receipt of an executed copy of this Agreement and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waives the right to receive a copy of any financing statement or financing change statement registered in connection with this Agreement or any verification statement issued with respect to any such financing statement or financing change statement.

 

38.           Electronic Signature.  Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by any Debtor by facsimile or other electronic form of transmission shall be as effective as delivery by such Debtor of a manually executed copy of this Agreement by such Debtor.

RECITALS:

 

A.           Reference is made to the General Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) dated as of June 23, 2011 entered into by Emtec Infrastructure Services Canada Corporation and certain of their affiliates which thereafter sign a Supplement, in favour of the Creditor.

 

B.           Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Supplement have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Security Agreement, including the definitions of terms incorporated in the Security Agreement by reference to other agreements.

 

C.           Section 36 of the Security Agreement provides that additional Persons may from time to time after the date of the Security Agreement become Debtors under the Security Agreement by executing and delivering to the Creditor a supplemental agreement to the Security Agreement in the form of this Supplement.

 

D.           The undersigned (the “New Debtor”) has agreed to become a Debtor under the Security Agreement by executing and delivering this Supplement to the Creditor.

 

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are acknowledged by the New Debtor, the New Debtor agrees with and in favour of the Creditor (for its own benefit and for the benefit of the Secured Parties) as follows:

1.           The New Debtor has received a copy of, and has reviewed, the Security Agreement and is executing and delivering this Supplement to the Creditor pursuant to Section 36 of the Security Agreement.

 

2.           Effective from and after the date this Supplement is executed and delivered to the Creditor by the New Debtor:

 

	
  

	
(a)

	
the New Debtor shall be, and shall be deemed for all purposes to be, a Debtor under the Security Agreement with the same force and effect, and subject to the same agreements, representations, indemnities, liabilities, obligations and Security Interests, as if the New Debtor had been, as of the date of this Supplement, an original signatory to the Security Agreement as a Debtor; and

 

	
  

	
(b)

	
all Collateral of the New Debtor shall be subject to the Security Interests granted by the New Debtor as security for the due payment and performance of the Liabilities of the New Debtor in accordance with the provisions of the Security Agreement.

 

  

  

  

 

In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Debtor, as general and continuing collateral security for the due payment and performance of its Obligations, pledges, mortgages, charges and assigns (by way of security) to the Creditor (for its own benefit and for the benefit of the other Secured Parties), and grants to the Creditor (for its own benefit and for the benefit of the other Secured Parties) a security interest in, the Collateral of the New Debtor.  The terms and provisions of the Security Agreement are incorporated by reference in this Supplement.

Borrower and DLL are party to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated December 7, 2006 (as it may otherwise have been and may hereafter be modified, amended, extended, restated, supplemented or replaced, from time to time, the “Loan and Security Agreement”), including that certain Schedule to the Loan and Security Agreement dated December 7, 2006 executed by Borrower and DLL in connection with and as a part of the Loan and Security Agreement (as it may otherwise have been and may hereafter be modified, amended, extended, restated, supplemented or replaced, from time to time, the “Schedule”), pursuant to which DLL established certain credit facilities in favor of Borrower.  The Loan and Security Agreement, collectively together with the Schedule, as either may otherwise have been and may hereafter be modified, amended, extended, restated, supplemented or replaced, from time to time, are referred to herein collectively as the “Loan Agreement”.

D.           Borrower and DLL have mutually agreed to make certain amendments and modifications to the Loan Agreement and the credit facilities established thereunder, all in accordance with the provisions of and on the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, with the foregoing Background incorporated by reference and made a part hereof and intending to be legally bound, the parties agree as follows:

1.           Amendments to the Schedule.  Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment as provided for in Section 3 below, the Schedule is hereby amended and modified in the following manner:

 

(A)           Amendment to Clarify Allocation of Overloans.  In Section 2.2 of the Schedule titled “LOANS”, the subparagraph entitled “Total Facility Limit” of the subsection entitled “Overall Credit Limit” shall be amended and restated as follows:

 

Total Facility Limit.  Subject to Section 9.11 of the Agreement, in no event may the amount of either (I) the sum of (x) the Revolving Credit Loan as of such date plus (y) the Floorplan Loans as of such date plus (z) the aggregate amount of any open approvals given by DLL to any Vendor of Floorplanned Inventory that are outstanding as of such date (such amount the “Facility Outstandings”) or (II) the sum of (i) the Facility Outstandings plus (ii) the outstanding principal balance under any Canadian Subsidiary Credit Facility  as of such date (provided that, to the extent the loans and advances of credit under any such Canadian Subsidiary Credit Facility  are denominated in any currency other than US Dollars, the amount of the principal balance outstanding under such Canadian Subsidiary Credit Facility  as of any date shall be the actual amount outstanding as of such date in the applicable currency as converted into the US Dollar equivalent thereof based on prevailing market currency exchange rates as of such date)  (such amount, the “Total Outstandings”) exceed the Total Facility, and no Revolving Credit Loan or Floorplan Loan shall be made if, after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Loan or Floorplan Loan, the provisions of this sentence would be violated.  Notwithstanding the forgoing, (x) if at any time the amount of the Facility Outstandings does exceed the Total Facility, such excess (which shall be an Obligation secured by the Collateral) shall be treated as an Overloan subject to all the provisions of Section 2.3 of this Agreement and any other provisions of this Agreement dealing with Overloans and (ii) if at any time the amount of the Facility Outstandings does not exceed the Total Facility but the amount of the Total Outstandings does exceed the Total Facility, such excess (which shall be an Obligation secured by the Collateral) shall (unless DLL shall have elected in its sole discretion to treat such excess as a “Facility Overloan” under any Canadian Subsidiary Credit Facility) be treated as an Overloan subject to all the provisions of Section 2.3 of this Agreement and any other provisions of this Agreement dealing with Overloans.

 

  

2

  

(B)           Amendment to Amend and Restate Change of Control Provision.  In Section 7 of the Schedule entitled “DEFAULT AND REMEDIES”, the subsection entitled “Change of Control Restrictions” shall be amended and restated as follows:

 

Change of Control Restrictions (Section 7.1(n)):  A prohibited Change of Control shall occur under Section 7.1(n) of the Agreement upon the occurrence of any of the following events:  (a)  any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), excluding Dinesh Desai and/or Keith R. Grabel and/or Mary Margaret Grabel (the “Permitted Investors”), shall become, or obtain rights (whether by means or warrants, options or otherwise) to become, the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13(d)-3 and 13(d)-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding common interests of Emtec Parent, or (b)  the board of directors of Emtec Parent shall cease to consist of a majority of Continuing Directors (as defined below; or (c) Emtec Parent shall cease to own and control, directly or indirect, one hundred percent (100%) of all of the equity interests of each Subsidiary (specifically including without limitation each other Borrower entity and each Canadian Subsidiary party to any Canadian Subsidiary Credit Facility) (excluding any de minimus number of “director’s qualifying shares” or similar equity interests issued to the directors or management of any such Subsidiary organized in jurisdiction outside the United States to the extent required by any applicable law of such jurisdiction).  “Continuing Directors” shall mean the directors of Emtec Parent on the Closing Date and each other director of Emtec Parent, if, in each case, such other director’s nomination for election to the board of directors of Emtec Parent is recommended by at least 662⁄3% of the then Continuing Directors or such other director receives the vote of the Permitted Investors in his or her election by the shareholders of the Parent.

2.           Acknowledgement Regarding Canadian Subsidiary Credit Facility and Related Overloan.

 

(A)           Borrower acknowledges that:

 

(i)            concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Amendment by Borrower, Emtec Infrastructure Services Canada Corporation, a corporation organized under the federal laws of Canada and a Canadian Subsidiary (“Emtec Infrastructure Canada”) is executing and delivering and entering into that certain Loan Agreement (Revolving Credit Loan and Floorplan Loan) dated as of the date hereof between Emtec Infrastructure Canada as “Borrower” thereunder and De Lage Landen Financial Services Canada Inc. (“DLL FSC”) (as it may otherwise have been and may hereafter be modified, amended, extended, restated, supplemented or replaced, from time to time, the “Emtec Infrastructure Canada Loan and Security Agreement”) and related Schedule executed in connection with and as a part thereof dated as of the date hereof between Emtec Infrastructure Canada and DLL FSC (as it may otherwise have been and may hereafter be modified, amended, extended, restated, supplemented or replaced, from time to time, the “Emtec Infrastructure Canada Schedule”, and collectively together with the Emtec Infrastructure Canada Loan and Security Agreement, the “Emtec Infrastructure Canada Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which DLL FSC is establishing certain credit facilities in favor of and will from time to time hereafter, make extensions of credit to Emtec Infrastructure Canada (such credit facilities, as they may be increased, decreased, restructured, expanded to include additional types of extensions of credit or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Emtec Infrastructure Canada Facility”);

 

  

3

  

 

(ii)           the Emtec Infrastructure Canada Facility and the Emtec Infrastructure Canada Loan Agreement (and all loan, credit and security documents executed in connection therewith) shall constitute a Canadian Subsidiary Credit Facility (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and a Canadian ABL Credit Facility (as defined in the Canadian Guaranty), and DLL FSC shall constitute a DLL Canadian Lender (as defined in the Loan Agreement and the Canadian Guaranty), for all purposes under the Loan Agreement, the Canadian Guaranty and each other Existing Loan Document; and

 

(iii)           without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and without limiting the generality of any provision of the Canadian Guaranty: (1) all present and future loans, advances, debts, liabilities, obligations, covenants, duties and indebtedness of Emtec Infrastructure Canada to DLL FSC under, arising from or in connection with the Emtec Infrastructure Canada Facility and the Emtec Infrastructure Canada Loan Agreement (and all loan, credit and security documents executed in connection therewith) (the “Emtec Infrastructure Canada Obligations”) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Canadian Guaranty) under the Canadian Guaranty, (2) upon the occurrence of any Canadian Collateral Shortfall (as defined in the Canadian Guaranty) under the Emtec Infrastructure Canada Facility and the Emtec Infrastructure Canada Loan Agreement (each an “Emtec Infrastructure Canada Shortfall”), Borrower shall be liable to DLL and DLL FSC for any and all Collateral Shortfall Obligations and Collateral Shortfall Payments due and owing in respect thereof as provided for in the Canadian Guaranty, (3) all obligations of Borrower to DLL and DLL FSC under the Canadian Guaranty with respect to the Emtec Infrastructure Canada Obligations and/or any Emtec Infrastructure Canada Shortfall shall be part of the Obligations secured by the Collateral, and (4) all of the obligations of Borrower under the Canadian Guaranty (specifically including without limitation all such obligations with respect to the Emtec Infrastructure Canada Facility, the Emtec Infrastructure Canada Loan Agreement (and all loan, credit and security documents executed in connection therewith), the Emtec Infrastructure Canada Obligations and any Emtec Infrastructure Canada Shortfall(s)) are hereby acknowledged, restated and reaffirmed (and Borrower also acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing acknowledgements, agreements and reaffirmations are being given in an abundance of caution and for the avoidance of any doubt, and that nothing contained in the foregoing is intended to limit or contradict the provisions of and agreement and waivers contained in the Canadian Guaranty (specifically including Sections 2, 3 and 4 thereof) and that the giving by Borrower of the foregoing acknowledgements, agreements and reaffirmations shall not be interpreted or construed under any circumstances as having established a course of dealing or course of conduct binding upon DLL in the future or otherwise creating any future obligations on DLL  to obtain any similar acknowledgements, agreements and reaffirmations in the future with respect to the Canadian Guaranty or any obligations thereunder).

 

  

4

  

 

(B)           It is anticipated by DLL and Borrower that upon the effectiveness of the Emtec Infrastructure Canada Facility and the Emtec Infrastructure Canada Loan Agreement, the Facility Outstandings will exceed the Total Facility and an Overloan will exist in an amount of approximately $1,500,000.  Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that, to the extent any such Overloan does exist upon the effectiveness of the Emtec Infrastructure Canada Facility and the Emtec Infrastructure Canada Loan Agreement, Borrower shall immediately cause Emtec Infrastructure Canada to request a “Revolving Credit Loan” (as defined under the Emtec Infrastructure Canada Loan Agreement) in an amount equal to such Overadvances and to remit the proceeds of such “Revolving Credit Loan” to DLL for the benefit of Borrower for application to the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans under the Loan Agreement. Any failure by Borrower to fulfill the terms of this paragraph shall constitute an immediate and automatic Event of Default under the Loan Agreement.

 

3.           Effectiveness Conditions.      This Amendment shall be effective upon the satisfaction of the following conditions (any and all Loan Documents, agreements, documents, contracts, certificates, authorizing resolutions, etc. required to be delivered below must be satisfactory in form and substance, and on terms and conditions acceptable to, DLL and its counsel in their Permitted Discretion) (the “Effectiveness Conditions”):

 

(A)           execution and delivery of this Amendment by all parties hereto;

 

(B)           delivery to DLL of an updated legal opinion regarding the Canadian Guaranty from Dechert LLP in form and substance acceptable to DLL in its discretion; and

 

(C)           Payment by Borrower of all reasonable fees, costs and expenses (including without limitation any and all reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by DLL in the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Amendment.  Borrower hereby authorizes DLL to charge the Borrower’s revolving loan account with the amount of all such costs and expenses of DLL in satisfaction thereof, and requests that DLL make one or more Revolving Credit Loan(s) on or after the date hereof in an aggregate amount equal to the total amount of all such costs and expenses, and that DLL disburse the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loan(s) in satisfaction thereof.

 

4.           Representations and Warranties.       Each Borrower entity  represents and warrants to DLL that:

 

(A)           After giving effect to this Amendment (including the performance by Borrower of its obligations under Section 3(B) of this Amendment), all warranties and representations made to DLL under the Loan Agreement and all other Existing Loan Documents as to Borrower are accurate in all material respects as though made on the date hereof (except to the extent any such representation and warranty was made only as of a specific, earlier date).

 

 

  

5

  

 

(B)           Borrower has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver the Amendment and each other document to be delivered in connection herewith to which it is a party  and to perform all of its Obligations hereunder and under the Loan Agreement and all other Existing Loan Documents (including the Canadian Guaranty) as amended hereby and has not taken any steps to wind up, dissolve or otherwise liquidate its assets.

 

(C)           The execution and delivery by Borrower of this Amendment, and the performance by it of the transactions herein contemplated (i) have been authorized by all necessary corporate action and (ii) do not and shall not constitute a violation of any applicable law or of Borrower’s Articles or Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws (or, if applicable, Certificate of Formation or Operating Agreement) or any other document, agreement or instrument to which such entity is a party or by which such entity or its assets are bound.

 

(D)           Each of the Amendment, and any assignment, instrument, document, or agreement executed and delivered in connection herewith, and the Loan Agreement and all other Existing Loan Documents (including the Canadian Guaranty) as amended hereby, are the legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, fraudulent transfer, moratorium, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and the effect of general principles of equity whether applied by a court of equity or law.

 

(E)           Both immediately prior and after giving effect to this Amendment, no Event of Default, or event that with the passage of time or giving of notice or both will become an Event of Default, exists under the Loan Agreement or any other Existing Loan Documents.

 

5.           Collateral.

 

(A)           To secure the payment and performance of all of the Obligations when due (specifically including without limitation, all Canadian Guaranty Obligations), each Existing Borrower hereby reconfirms and restates its grant under the Loan Agreement and the other Existing Loan Documents of a security interest and lien in favor of DLL and DLL Canadian Lender on all of its Collateral (including all Excess Cash Collateral), whether now owned or hereafter acquired, created or arising and wherever located.  Borrower hereby confirms and agrees that all security interests and liens granted under the Loan Agreement and the other Existing Loan Documents to DLL and DLL Canadian Lender continue in full force and effect and shall continue to secure the Obligations.  All Collateral remains free and clear of any Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances.  Nothing herein contained is intended to in any manner impair or limit the validity, priority and extent of DLL’s and DLL Canadian Lender’s security interest in and liens upon the Collateral.

 

  

6

  

 

(B)           Without limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Obligations secured by the Collateral and the grants of security interests and liens in the Collateral by Borrower in favor of DLL and DLL Canadian Lender include all present and future loans, advances, debts, liabilities, obligations, covenants, duties and indebtedness at any time owing by Borrower to DLL or DLL Canadian Lender, whether evidenced by the Loan Agreement, the Canadian Guaranty, any note or other instrument or document or otherwise, whether arising from an extension of credit, opening of a letter of credit, banker's acceptance, loan, guaranty, indemnification or otherwise, whether direct or indirect (including, without limitation, those acquired by assignment and any participation by DLL in Borrower's debts owing to others), absolute or contingent, due or to become due, and that the foregoing would include any such debts, liabilities, obligations and indebtedness owing to DLL from Borrower in connection with any operating or capital lease.

 

6.           Ratification of Loan Documents.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, all of the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement and the other Existing Loan Documents are hereby ratified and confirmed and continue unchanged and in full force and effect.  All references to the Loan and Security Agreement, the Schedule and/or the Loan Agreement shall mean the Loan and Security Agreement, the Schedule and the Loan Agreement (as applicable) as modified by this Amendment.  Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that this Amendment constitutes a "Loan Document" under the Loan Agreement.  Accordingly, it shall be an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement if (i) any representation or warranty made by Borrower under or in connection with this Amendment shall have been untrue, false or misleading in any material respect when made, or (ii) Borrower shall fail to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement contained in this Amendment.

 

A.           Confirmation of Indebtedness.  Borrower hereby acknowledges and confirms that as of the close of business on June 22, 2011, Borrower is indebted to Lender, without defense, setoff, claim or counterclaim under the Loan Documents, in the aggregate principal amount of $16,593,899.01, comprised of (a) $15,894,855.44 with respect to Revolving Credit Loans and (b) $699,043.57, with respect to the Floorplan Loan.  Borrower hereby confirms and agrees that the foregoing Obligations, together with all other Obligations (whether representing outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, accrued and unpaid fees or any other Obligations of any kind or nature) currently owing by Borrower under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as reflected in the books and records of DLL as of the date hereof, are absolutely and unconditionally and jointly and severally owing from and payable by Borrower, and Borrower is jointly and severally indebted to DLL with respect thereto, all without any set-off, deduction, claim, counterclaim or defense of any nature.

 

  

7

  

 

B.           Release.  Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it has no actual or potential claim or cause of action against DLL relating to the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document and/or the Obligations arising thereunder or related thereto, in any such case arising on or before the date hereof.  As further consideration for the consents, amendments set forth herein, Borrower hereby waives and releases and forever discharges DLL and its past and present officers, directors, attorneys, agents, professionals and employees (all collectively the “Released Parties”) from any liability, damage, claim, loss or expense of any kind that Borrower had, may now have or may hereafter have against any one or more of the Released Parties arising out of or relating to (a) this Amendment (and any documents or agreements being executed in connection herewith), the Loan Agreement, or any other Loan Document, (b) any and all Loans  or other extensions of credit made thereunder through the date hereof, (c) any other Obligations heretofore made and/or outstanding under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, (d) any transactions pursuant to or contemplated by or arising from or entered into in connection with this Amendment (and any documents or agreements being executed in connection herewith), the Loan Agreement, any other Loan Documents, any such Loans or extensions of creditor  or any other Obligation and/or (e) any action (or failure to act) taken (or, as applicable, not taken or taken only after any delay or after satisfaction of any conditions) by any of the Released Parties either in connection with any of the foregoing, or as contemplated by the Loan Agreement or by any Loan Documents, or in connection with the negotiation or administration of the Loan Agreement, this Amendment (and any documents or agreements being executed in connection herewith) or any other Loan Document, in each such case to the extent such liability, damage, claim, loss or expense arises out of an event or circumstance that has occurred, arisen or is in existence as of the date hereof.

 

7.           Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT, AND ALL MATTERS RELATING HERETO AND ARISING HEREFROM (WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT LAW, TORT LAW OR OTHERWISE), INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ENFORCEMENT OF THE OBLIGATIONS, SHALL BE INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (AND NOT THE CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES) OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA GOVERNING CONTRACTS TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE.  BORROWER SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 9.26 OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT REGARDING CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND SERVICE OF PROCESS ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE.

 

8.           WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  DLL AND BORROWER EACH HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO: (i) THIS AMENDMENT; (ii) ANY OTHER PRESENT OR FUTURE INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT BETWEEN DLL AND BORROWER; OR (iii) ANY CONDUCT, ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF DLL OR BORROWER OR ANY OF THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ATTORNEYS OR ANY OTHER PERSONS AFFILIATED WITH DLL OR BORROWER; IN EACH OF THE FOREGOING CASES, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE.

 

9.           Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same respective agreement.  Signature by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including email transmission of a PDF copy of any signature) shall bind the parties hereto.

10.           Joint and Several Obligations of Borrower.  If more than one Person is named as the “Borrower” above, or hereafter becomes a “Borrower” hereunder by means of a joinder, amendment or other modification hereto or to the Loan Agreement, then all references herein to “Borrower” shall be deemed to be a joint and several reference to each and every such Borrower entity and/or to any such Borrower entity as the context shall require.  The liability of all such Borrower entities for the Loans and other Obligations shall be joint and several as further provided for in Section 9.29 of the Loan Agreement.

 

11.           Miscellaneous.  All terms, conditions, promises, covenants, provisions and warranties hereof and of the Loan Documents shall inure to the benefit of and bind DLL's and Borrower's respective representatives, successors and assigns (but Borrower may not sell, assign or transfer any interest in this Amendment or any other Loan Document, or any portion thereof, including, without limitation, any of Borrower's obligations, rights, title, interests, remedies, powers and duties hereunder or thereunder).  Any provision of this Amendment that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.  Borrower specifically acknowledges that the provisions of Section 9.17 of the Loan Agreement regarding injunctive relief, Section 9.22 of the Loan Agreement regarding liability and damages and Section 8.1 of the Loan Agreement regarding costs and expenses and indemnities are incorporated herein by reference.
