including, without limitation, this Amendment No. 6 (all of the foregoing, including the Loan Agreement, as the same now exist or may hereafter be amended, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed, restated or replaced, being collectively
referred to herein as the “Financing Agreements”); 
 WHEREAS, Borrowers and Guarantors have advised Agent and Lenders
that, after the Closing Date, Technologies and Merix opened up certain new deposit accounts (Account No. 4123504177 by Technologies, and Accounts No. 9600136199, 9600136205 by Merix) at Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (collectively, the

provide prior written notice to Agent of the opening of any new deposit accounts on and after the Closing Date, and also requires Borrowers and Guarantors to obtain Deposit Account Control Agreements with respect to any such accounts:

Default”), and Borrowers and Guarantors have requested that Agent and Lenders waive, and Agent and Lenders have agreed to waive, the New Account Default and any Defaults and Events of Default arising solely as a result of the inaccuracy of any
prior representations and warranties as a result of the existence of the New Account Default or the Borrower’s failure to notify the Agent of the existence of the New Account Default (together with the New Account Default, collectively, the
“Subject Default”), in each case as of the effective date of this Amendment (the “Waiver Effective Date”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein 

WHEREAS, Borrowers and Guarantors have also requested that Agent and Lenders amend the Loan Agreement such that no Deposit Account
Control Agreement shall be required with respect to the ING Account, and Agent and Lenders have agreed to make such amendment, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein;
