WAIVER AND MODIFICATION AGREEMENT
---------------------------------
To the Below-Named Parties:
Gentlemen:
Reference is made to that certain Credit and Security Agreement dated
as of the 1st day of March, 1996 by and among the undersigned and each of you
(the "Credit and Security Agreement"), together with all Guaranties, Security
Agreements, Assignments, Powers of Attorney, and all other agreements,
instruments and documents executed in connection therewith, as amended by letter
agreement dated February 26, 1997 (hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Credit Agreements"). All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meaning given such terms in the Credit Agreements.
This will confirm our agreement with respect to (1) waiver by the
Suppliers and the Secured Party of certain Events of Default described in
Section 8(a) of the Credit and Security Agreement and (2) modification of the
Credit and Security Agreement.
WAIVER
------
At August 30, 1997, the amount of Secured Obligations outstanding for
more than 21 days of the due date was approximately $1,990,000 and, since that
date, Secured Obligations in varying amounts have been outstanding for more than
21 days of the due date. The Suppliers and the Secured Party hereby waive any
Events of Default occurring on or before the date hereof based on Debtors'
failure to pay any Secured Obligations within 21 days of the due date. This
Waiver does not apply to any Event of Default occurring after the date hereof
based on Debtors' failure to pay any Secured Obligations within 21 days of the
due date (regardless of whether such Secured Obligations are outstanding on the
date hereof or arise hereafter).
The Suppliers and the Secured Party shall have all of the rights and
remedies provided for in the Credit Agreements upon the occurrence and
continuance of any Event of Default not waived herein.
MODIFICATION
------------
The Credit and Security Agreement is hereby amended by adding thereto a
new Section 3A to read as follows:
"3A LATE PAYMENT FEE. The Suppliers and Purchasing
have agreed that, in lieu of interest and for the convenience
of the parties, Purchasing shall pay to the Suppliers, on or
before the 10th day of each month (beginning January 10, 1998
with respect to the month of December 1997 and continuing on
the 10th day of each month thereafter during the term of this
Agreement), an amount equal to the product of .67% times the
sum of all Secured Obligations outstanding for more than 60
days as of the last day of the immediately preceding month
(based on the Suppliers' invoice date, as reflected on their
books and records)."
Purchasing, Convertibles, and each of the other Debtors hereby acknowledge and
agree that, from and after the date hereof, the terms "Obligations" and "Secured
Obligations", as used in the Credit Agreements, include the obligations of
Purchasing under Section 3A of the Credit and Security Agreement, as hereinabove
amended.
Convertibles shall reimburse the Suppliers and the Secured Party for
all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by them
in connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Waiver and
Modification Agreement.
Except as herein specifically provided, no other changes, amendments or
modifications to the Credit Agreements are intended or implied and the same are
hereby ratified and confirmed.
