(b) Unless Borrower has achieved de-SPAC status on or prior to June 15, 2022, Borrower shall have received, on or before June 15, 2022, additional New Equity (i.e., exclusive of any New Equity received under Section 6.12(a)(ii) above) of not less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) from investors acceptable to Bank.
4. Release.
(a) Loan Parties acknowledge that Bank would not enter into this Second Amendment without Loan Parties’ assurance hereunder. Except for the obligations arising hereafter under the Loan Agreement, Loan Parties hereby absolutely discharge and release Bank, any person or entity that has obtained any interest from Bank under the Loan Agreement and each of Bank’s and such entity’s former and present partners, stockholders, officers, directors, employees, successors, assignees, agents, and attorneys from any known or unknown claims which Loan Parties now have against Bank of any nature, including any claims that Loan Parties, their successors, counsel, and advisors may in the future discover they would have now had if they had known facts not now known to them, whether founded in contract, in tort, or pursuant to any other theory of liability, including but not limited to any claims arising out of or related to the Loan Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby.
(b) The provisions, waivers, and releases set forth in this Section are binding upon Loan Parties’ shareholders, members, agents, employees, assigns, and successors in interest. The provisions, waivers, and releases of this Section shall inure to the benefit of Bank and its agents, employees, officers, directors, assigns, and successors in interest.
(c) Loan Parties warrant and represent that Loan Parties are the sole and lawful owners of all right, title and interest in and to all of the claims released hereby, and Loan Parties have not heretofore voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, assigned or transferred or purported to assign or transfer to any person any such claim or any portion thereof. Loan Parties shall indemnify and hold harmless Bank from and against any claim, demand, damage, debt, liability (including payment of attorneys’ fees and costs actually incurred whether or not litigation is commenced) based on or arising out of any assignment or transfer.
(d) The provisions of this Section shall survive payment in full of the Obligations, full performance of all of the terms of this Second Amendment and the Loan Agreement, and/or Bank’s actions to exercise any remedy available under the Loan Agreement or otherwise.
5. No Course of Dealing; Strict Performance. 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 Loan Parties 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.
6. Ratification; No Amendment. The Loan 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. Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery, and performance of this Second Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of, or as an amendment of, any right, power, or remedy of Bank under the Loan Agreement, as in effect prior to the date hereof.
7. Representations and Warranties; No Event of Default. Loan Parties hereby represent and warrant to Bank, which representations and warranties shall survive the execution and delivery hereof, that: (a) this Second Amendment is the legally valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, (b) each of the representations and warranties contained in the Loan Agreement, as well as all other representations and warranties contained in the other Loan Documents, are true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualifier in the text of such representation or warranty) to the extent required under the Loan Agreement, and (c) except as expressly waived hereby, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
