WHEREAS, Quadrant introduced ARC to Quadrant Metals Technologies, LLC (together with its subsidiaries, “QMT”) and to Advance Forming Technology, Inc. (“AFTI”), and a Hungarian special purpose acquisition company which holds the Hungarian assets associated with AFTI that are currently owned by AFT Europa KFT (the “AFTE SPV” and collectively referred to herein with AFTI as “AFT”, and together with QMT, the “Target Companies”) for the purposes of evaluating the potential acquisitions of the Target Companies; and

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Financial Advisory Agreement Quadrant is entitled to certain annual fees in recognition of its services;

 

WHEREAS, the calculation of annual fees in the Financial Advisory Agreement makes reference to ARC’s reported EBITDA;

 

WHEREAS, in consideration of the execution of that certain Letter Agreement between ARC and Quadrant dated _____ and because QMT is a related party to Quadrant, ARC and Quadrant have agreed to certain waivers with respect to Sections 2.2 of the Financial Advisory Agreement;

 

WHEREAS, all capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Financial Advisory Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.Waiver of Section 2.2.2 of the Financial Advisory Agreement.

For purposes of clarity, Section 2.2.1 shall remain effective without waiver. The annual fees due and payable to Quadrant by the Company each year after the 2012 calendar year shall be calculated in accordance with Section 2.2.2 of the Agreement without waivers or adjustments.

 

 
 

 

2.Waiver of Section 2.2.3 of the Financial Advisory Agreement.

4.Jurisdiction. This Waiver Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
