A. Borrowers and Lender previously entered into that certain Business Financing Agreement, dated as of March 15, 2013, as amended by that certain Amendment Number One to Business Financing Agreement, Waiver of Defaults and Consent, dated as of August 29, 2013 (as so amended, the “Agreement”);
B. Borrowers have informed Lender that Parent desires to acquire all of the Ownership Interests of AirPatrol Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“AirPatrol”), whereupon AirPatrol will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Subject Transaction”);
C. The Subject Transaction is prohibited by Section 4.13 of the Agreement; and
D. Borrowers have requested that Lender waive any Event of Default as listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto (any “Existing Default”) and consent to the Subject Transaction, and Lender has agreed with such requests, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms. All initially capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Agreement.
2. Amendment to Section 2.2(a). Section 2.2(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:
|
(a)
|
Termination Fee. In the event this Agreement is terminated prior to April 16, 2015, Borrowers shall pay the Termination Fee to Lender; provided that if this Agreement, following Borrowers’ request and the consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), is transferred to an operating division of Lender other than the Capital Finance Group, the transfer will not be deemed a termination resulting in the payment of the Termination Fee; provided that Borrowers agree, at the time of transfer, to the payment of comparable fees in an amount not less than that set forth in this Agreement, and provided further than such transfer is not as a result of an Event of Default.
|
3. Amendments to Section 12.1. The following definitions set forth in Section 12.1 of the Agreement are hereby amended in their entirety as follows:
“Asset Coverage Ratio” means Borrowers’ and Parent’s combined unrestricted cash and cash equivalents maintained with Lender, plus Eligible Receivables per the most recent borrowing base certificate delivered to Lender, divided by the total amount of the Obligations.
1
“Permitted Restricted Payments” means (i) solely during the period running from April 1, 2014 until April 1, 2015, cash payments to Guarantors or Foreign Subsidiaries of Parent in an amount to not exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate made by Borrowers and Guarantors; provided that both immediately before and immediately after giving effect thereto, on a pro forma basis, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or shall result therefrom; and (ii) payments on Subordinated Debt to the extent permitted by the applicable subordination agreement.
“Revolving Advances Maturity Date” means April 16, 2016 or such earlier date as Lender shall have declared the Obligations immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 7.2.
“Term Advance Maturity Date” means August 27, 2015 or such earlier date as Lender shall have declared the Obligations immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 7.2.
4. Waiver of Any Existing Default. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Amendment, Lender hereby waives any Existing Default. This waiver of any Existing Default shall be effective only in this specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given, and shall not entitle Borrowers to any other or further waiver in any similar or other circumstances.
5. Consent to Subject Transaction. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Amendment, Lender hereby consents to the Subject Transaction; provided that (a) Borrowers have first received the net cash proceeds of an equity offering of Parent generating not less than $15,000,000 after all underwriting discounts and commissions, and other reasonable and customary out-of-pocket expenses, and (b) Borrowers have provided to Lender, as soon as practicable but in no event later than May 8, 2014, evidence satisfactory to Lender that all deposit accounts of AirPatrol (other than deposit accounts maintained at Lender) have been closed, and all funds on deposit therein have been transferred to deposit accounts maintained at Lender. In the event that Borrowers fail to fulfill the conditions set forth in the proviso to the prior sentence to the satisfaction of Lender on or before the due dates indicated, each such failure shall constitute an Event of Default. This consent to the Subject Transaction shall be effective only in this specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given, and shall not entitle Borrowers to any other or further consent or waiver in any similar or other circumstances.
6. Conditions Precedent to Effectiveness of Amendment.

3
8. Counterparts; Telefacsimile Execution. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Amendment. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by telefacsimile shall be equally as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Amendment by telefacsimile also shall deliver a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment but the failure to deliver a manually executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Amendment.
9. Integration. The Agreement as amended by this Amendment constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
10. No Other Waiver. The execution of this Amendment and the acceptance of all other agreements and instruments related hereto shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default (other than any Existing Default), whether or not known to Lender and whether or not existing on the date of this Amendment.
11. Release.
(a) Each Borrower, each Guarantor signing the Acknowledgment and Agreement of Guarantors set forth below, and each Creditor signing the Acknowledgment and Agreement of Creditors set forth below, hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases and forever discharges Lender, and any and all participants, parent corporations, subsidiary corporations, affiliated corporations, insurers, indemnitors, successors and assigns thereof, together with all of the present and former directors, officers, agents and employees of any of the foregoing, from any and all claims, demands or causes of action of any kind, nature or description, whether arising in law or equity or upon contract or tort or under any state or federal law or otherwise, which such Borrower, such Guarantor, or such Creditor, has had, now has or has made claim to have against any such person for or by reason of any act, omission, matter, cause or thing whatsoever arising from the beginning of time to and including the date of this Amendment, whether such claims, demands and causes of action are matured or unmatured or known or unknown. Each Borrower, each Guarantor signing the Acknowledgment and Agreement of Guarantors set forth below, and each Creditor signing the Acknowledgment and Agreement of Creditors set forth below, certifies that it has read the following provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542:
A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.
(b) Each Borrower, each Guarantor signing the Acknowledgment and Agreement of Guarantors set forth below, and each Creditor signing the Acknowledgment and Agreement of Creditors set forth below, understands and acknowledges that the significance and consequence of this waiver of California Civil Code Section 1542 is that even if it should eventually suffer additional damages arising out of the facts referred to above, it will not be able to make any claim for those damages. Furthermore, each Borrower, each Guarantor signing the Acknowledgment and Agreement of Guarantors set forth below, and each Creditor signing the Acknowledgment and Agreement of Creditors set forth below, acknowledges that it intends these consequences even as to claims for damages that may exist as of the date of this release but which it does not know exist, and which, if known, would materially affect its decision to execute this Agreement, regardless of whether its lack of knowledge is the result of ignorance, oversight, error, negligence, or any other cause.
4
12. Reaffirmation of the Agreement. The Agreement as amended hereby and the Loan Documents remain in full force and effect.
13. Disclaimer of Any Existing Default. This Amendment shall in no way be construed as an admission or statement by Borrowers as to whether any Existing Default has arisen or would continue absent this Amendment.
