1.2    No Loans or Transfer of Assets to Surviving Company and No Inclusion of Surviving Company’s Eligible Accounts in determining the Revolving Loan Credit Limit Until Certain Conditions are Satisfied. The foregoing consent does not constitute a consent to any other similar transaction or to any Loans being requested by, or being made to, Surviving Company or assets of Borrower (including any Collateral) being transferred to Surviving Company without the prior written consent of Agent and Lenders or until such time as Surviving Company: (i) has become a co-Borrower under the Loan Agreement, (ii) granted Agent and Lenders a first-priority security interest in the assets of Surviving Company (subject to Permitted Liens) and (iii) Agent has received such evidence as it reasonably deems necessary to confirm such first-priority security interest. Moreover, Borrower covenants and agrees that Surviving Company’s recurring revenue shall not be included in the determination of the Revolving Loan Credit Limit, borrowing base calculation or otherwise be used as the basis for any Loan until such time as the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence have been satisfied.
1.3    Representations. Borrower represents and warrants to Agent and Lenders, that the signed copies of the Merger Agreement (and all exhibits and schedules attached thereto) provided to Agent prior to the date hereof, are true, correct and complete.
1.4    Joinder of Surviving Company. Within 30 days after the closing of the Merger Transaction (or such longer period as Agent may agree in writing, in its sole discretion), Borrower shall cause Surviving Company to become a co-Borrower under the Loan Agreement, pursuant to an Assumption Agreement or other documentation in such form as Lender shall reasonably specify and execute all documents and take all actions, as Agent, may, in its Good Faith Business Judgment, deem necessary or useful in order to perfect Agent’s perfected first-priority security interest in the assets of Surviving Company (including without limitation, providing a Borrower Information Certificate, intellectual property security agreement, officers’ certificate certifying the accuracy of Surviving Company’s organizational documents, good standing, and any member relating to the assumption of Obligations under the Loan Agreement).
2.    Representations True. Borrower represents and warrants to Agent and Lenders that all representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Agreement, as amended hereby, are true and correct in all material respects, except as to representations and warranties that relate to a different date, in which case said representations and warranties continue to be true in all material respects as of said date and those representations and warranties that are conditioned by materiality, which shall be true and correct in all respects.
3.    General Release. In consideration for Agent and Lenders entering into this Consent, Borrower hereby irrevocably releases and forever discharges Agent, Lenders, and their successors, assigns, agents, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, parent corporations, subsidiary corporations, affiliated corporations, affiliates, participants, and each of them (collectively, the “Releasees”), from any and all claims, debts, liabilities, demands, obligations, costs, expenses, actions and causes of action, of every nature and description, known and unknown, which Borrower now has or at any time may hold, by reason of any matter, cause or thing occurred, done, omitted or suffered to be done prior to the date of this Consent arising under or in any way related to the Loan Agreement, this Consent or any other Loan Document or any of the transactions contemplated herein or therein (collectively, the “Released Claims”). Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of any and all statutes and rules of law to the extent the same provide in substance that a general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of executing the release. Borrower represents and warrants that it has not assigned to any other Person any Released Claim, and agrees to indemnify Agent and Lenders against any and all actions, demands, obligations, causes of action, decrees, awards, claims, liabilities, losses and costs, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees of counsel of Lenders’ choice and costs, which Lenders may sustain or incur as a result of a breach or purported breach of the foregoing representation and warranty.
4.    No Waiver. Nothing herein constitutes a waiver of any default or Event of Default under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Documents, whether or not known to Agent, except as set forth in Section 1.
