Bank hereby waives the Events of Default that occurred as a result of the Covenant Violation (“Waiver”). This Waiver is specific as to content and time, shall be limited precisely as written, and shall not constitute a waiver of any other current or future default or Event of Default or breach of any covenant contained in the Agreement or the terms and conditions of any other Loan Documents. Bank expressly reserves all of its various rights, remedies, powers and privileges under the Agreement and the other Loan Documents due to any other default, Event of Default or breach not waived herein.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, outstanding Advances based on Medicare Accounts (excluding Accounts owing in connection with the Medicare Advantage program related to thyroid tests) and Accounts owing by any other Government Account Debtor or in connection with any Government Reimbursement Program (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Accounts owing in connection with the Medicare Advantage program related to thyroid tests), shall not collectively exceed One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) at any time.

“Daily Adjusting Term SOFR Rate” means, for any day, the rate per annum equal to the Term SOFR Screen Rate at or about 8:00 a.m. (Detroit, Michigan time) (or as soon thereafter as practical) on such day with a term of one (1) month, plus one-tenth of one percent (.10%); provided that if such rate is not published on such determination date then the rate will be the Term SOFR Screen Rate on the first Business Day immediately prior thereto.

 

“EBITDA” means with respect to any fiscal period an amount equal to the sum of (a) Consolidated Net Income of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries for such fiscal period, plus (b) in each case to the extent deducted in the calculation of the Borrowers’ Consolidated Net Income and without duplication, (i) depreciation and amortization for such period, plus (ii) income tax expense for such period, plus (iii) Borrowers’ Consolidated Total Interest Expense paid or accrued during such period, plus (iv) non-cash expense associated with granting stock options during such period, and minus, to the extent added in computing Consolidated Net Income, and without duplication, interest income of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries for such period and less all of Borrowers’ and their Subsidiaries’ non-recurring revenue and gains (including income tax benefits) for such period, all as determined in accordance with GAAP.

 

“Revolving Line” means a Credit Extension of up to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (inclusive of the aggregate limits of the aggregate face amount of Letters of Credit issued under the Letter of Credit Sublimit and the corporate credit cards issued to Borrowers, or any of them, and merchant credit card processing reserves under the Credit Card Services Sublimit).

Each Borrower agrees that immediately upon an Event of Default or the Trigger Event occurring and continuing, the Obligations shall be on a “remittance basis” and each Borrower’s Collection Account(s) shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or the Trigger Event, convert to a non-interest bearing deposit account with Bank (each a “Springing DOF Account”) to which Bank shall have exclusive access and control; provided that, upon any written waiver by the Bank of all then-outstanding Event(s) of Default or the end of the Trigger Event in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, each such Springing DOF Account shall promptly convert/revert to a Collection Account;

 

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or the Trigger Event, each Borrower shall hold in trust for Bank all amounts that such Borrower receives despite the directions to make payments to the Springing DOF Account(s), and immediately deliver such payments to Bank in their original form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit into the Springing DOF Account(s). Each Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to transfer to the Springing DOF Account(s) any amounts that Bank reasonably determines are proceeds of the Accounts (provided that Bank is under no obligation to do so and this allowance shall in no event relieve any Borrower of its obligations hereunder).

 

(c) Each Borrower shall execute all documents and authorizations as required by Bank, including but not limited to, documentation and authorizations to establish and maintain the Springing DOF Account(s). Each Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or the Trigger Event: (i) such Borrower shall not be an authorized signer on any Springing DOF Account; (ii) such Borrower shall not order or write checks on any Springing DOF Account; and (iii) each Springing DOF Account: (A) shall be non-interest bearing; and (B) may not be used to initiate or authorize debit transactions of any kind, including, but not limited to: writing of paper or electronic checks, over the counter withdrawals, ATM Card or Check Card withdrawals, account transfers from the account, ACH debit transactions and debit wire transfers; provided that, upon any written waiver from the Bank of all then-outstanding Event(s) of Default or the end of the Trigger Event in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and resultant conversion/reversion of each Springing DOF Account to a Collection Account, the provisions of the sentence shall promptly cease to apply to such account.

 

(d) All items or amounts which are remitted or otherwise delivered by or for the benefit of a Borrower to Bank on account of partial or full payment of, or with respect to, any Collateral shall, on a daily basis, in accordance with Bank’s standard procedures and practices, be deposited to such Borrower’s Collection Account(s) maintained at Bank so long as no Event of Default nor the Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing. If an Event of Default or the Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing, all items or amounts remitted to the Springing DOF Account(s) or otherwise delivered by or for the benefit of a Borrower to Bank shall (at the Bank’s discretion), on a daily basis, be applied to the payment of any Obligations, whether then due or not, in such order or at such time of application as Bank may determine in its sole discretion. Each Borrower agrees that Bank shall not be liable for any loss or damage which such Borrower may suffer as a result of Bank’s processing of items or its exercise of any other rights or remedies under this Agreement, including without limitation indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, loss of revenues or profits, or any claim, demand or action by any third party arising out of or in connection with the processing of items or the exercise of any other rights or remedies under this Agreement. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Bank harmless from and against all such third party claims, demands or actions, and all related expenses or liabilities, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and including claims, damages, fines, expenses, liabilities or causes of action of whatever kind resulting from Bank’s own negligence, except to the extent (but only to the extent) caused by Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.”

11. No course of dealing on the part of Bank or its officers, nor any failure or delay in the exercise of any right by Bank, shall operate as a waiver thereof, and any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude any later exercise of any such right. Bank’s failure at any time to require strict performance by Borrowers of any provision shall not affect any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance. Any suspension or waiver of a right must be in writing signed by an officer of Bank.

 

12. Unless otherwise defined, all capitalized terms in this Amendment shall be as defined in the Agreement. The Agreement, as amended hereby, shall be and remain in full force and effect in accordance with its respective terms and hereby is ratified and confirmed in all respects.
