Re: New Equipment Term Loan Limit
-----------------------------
Gentlemen:
Reference is made to certain financing agreements dated January 11,
1990 between Lexington Precision Corporation ("LPC") and Congress Financial
Corporation ("Congress"), including, but not limited to, an Accounts Financing
Agreement [Security Agreement], as amended (the "Accounts Agreement"), and all
supplements thereto and all other related financing and security agreements
(collectively, all of the foregoing, as the same have heretofore or
contemporaneously been or may be hereafter, amended, replaced, extended,
modified or supplemented, the "Financing Agreements"). Capitalized terms used
herein, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed
thereto in the Accounts Agreement and the other Financing Agreements.
Pursuant to the terms of the letter agreement re: Amendment to
Financing Agreements, dated as of March 25, 1994, as amended, Congress may from
time to time make New Equipment Term Loans to LPC and Lexington Rubber Group,
Inc. ("LRG") up to the aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 (the "New
Equipment Term Loan Limit"). Notwithstanding such New Equipment Term Loan Limit,
Congress is willing to make a New Equipment Term Loan to LRG in the amount of
$2,000,000 evidenced by the New Equipment Term Note, dated of even date
herewith, made by LRG payable to Congress in the original principal amount of
$2,000,000 (the "February 2001 LRG New Equipment Term Loan").
LPC and Congress hereby agree as follows:
The February 2001 LRG New Equipment Term Loan shall not be considered
for purposes of the New Equipment Term Loan Limit.
Notwithstanding any provision of the Financing Agreements to the
contrary, after the date hereof, Congress shall not be obligated to make any New
Equipment Term Loans.
Except as set forth herein, all terms and provisions of the Financing
Agreements shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby specifically
ratified, restated and confirmed by the parties hereto as of the date hereof.
Except as expressly set forth herein, no other or further amendment, waiver or
consent is implied, and LPC shall not be entitled to any other or further
2
amendment, waiver or consent by virtue of the provisions of this letter
agreement or with respect to the subject matter of this letter agreement.
In addition to the continuing representations, warranties and
covenants heretofore or hereafter made by LPC to Congress pursuant to the
Financing Agreements, LPC hereby represents, warrants and covenants with and to
Congress that: (a) except for the Event of Default referenced in the Agreement,
dated as of January 31, 2001, among LPC, LRG and Congress and the Event of
Default arising from the failure of LPC to comply with subparagraph IV(f) of the
Covenants Supplement to Accounts Financing Agreement [Security Agreement], dated
January 11, 1990, by and between Congress and LPC, as amended, no Event of
Default exists or has occurred and is continuing on the date of this letter
agreement and (b) this letter agreement has been duly executed and delivered by
LPC and is in full force and effect as of the date hereof, and the agreements
and obligations of LPC contained herein constitute the legal, valid and binding
obligations of LPC enforceable against LPC in accordance with their terms.
This letter agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
This letter agreement may be executed and delivered in counterparts,
but all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same
agreement. In making proof of this letter agreement, it shall not be necessary
to produce or account for more than one counterpart hereto signed by each of the
parties hereto. This letter agreement may be delivered by telecopier with the
same force and effect as if it were a manually delivered counterpart.
This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York without reference to its
principles of conflicts of law.
