FIRST AMENDMENT TO FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT
AND
SECOND AMENDMENT TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

 

This First Amendment to Forbearance Agreement and Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amendment”) is entered into as of April 30, 2012, by and between SQUARE 1 BANK (the “Bank”) and LUCID, INC. (the “Borrower”).

 

RECITALS

 

Borrower and Bank are parties to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of July 20, 2011 (as amended from time to time, with related documents, the “Loan Agreement”). Borrower and Bank are parties to that certain Forbearance Agreement and First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of March 30, 2012 (as amended from time to time, the “Forbearance Agreement”). The parties desire to amend the Loan Agreement and the Forbearance Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Amendment.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

 

1)             Borrower hereby requests that, immediately upon effectiveness of this Amendment, the Cash Collateral Account held at Bank pursuant to Section 6.6(a) of the Loan Agreement be used to repay $500,000 in principal amount of Term Loans. Borrower hereby agrees to cause Northeast LCD Capital, LLC to take all actions requested by Bank to release the funds in the Cash Collateral Account.

 

2)             Section 3 of the Forbearance Agreement is hereby amended and restated, as follows:

 

Forbearance. Borrower acknowledges the existence of the Existing Default under the Loan Agreement. Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that Bank is not in any way agreeing to waive such Existing Default as a result of this Agreement or the performance by the parties of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder. Subject to the conditions contained herein and performance by Borrower of all of the terms of this Agreement and the Loan Agreement after the date hereof, Bank shall, through May 7, 2012 or until such earlier date that there shall occur any further Event of Default (the “Forbearance Period”), forbear from exercising any remedies that it may have against Borrower as a result of the occurrence of the Existing Default. Such forbearance does not apply to any other Event of Default or other failure by Borrower to perform in accordance with the Loan Agreement or this Agreement. This forbearance shall not be deemed a continuing waiver or forbearance with respect to any Event of Default of a similar nature that may occur after the date of this Agreement.

 

3)             Section 6.6(a) of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety.

 

4)             Section 6.7 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated, as follows:
