Re: Limited Waiver Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is hereby made to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of September 7, 2012 (as the same may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and between PMFG, INC., a Delaware corporation (“PMFG”), and PEERLESS MFG. CO., a Texas corporation (“Peerless”, and PMFG and Peerless, collectively, the “Borrower”), CITIBANK, N.A., a national banking association, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and the Lenders.  All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have their respective meanings as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent that Peerless intends to enter into an agreement to sell (the “Proposed Disposition”) (a) the tangible personal property set forth on Schedule 1.1(a) to the Asset Purchase Agreement (as hereinafter defined), together with any express or implied warranty of any Person covering any item or component part thereof,  rights of return, rebate rights and any other rights associated with or comprising these items, (b) all Intellectual Property (as defined the Asset Purchase Agreement) used in the business, as currently conducted by Peerless, or proposed or intended to be conducted by Peerless, of designing, manufacturing, selling, marketing, owning or operating the ALCO Products and Bos-Hatten brands of heat exchanger products, any hairpin-type heat exchanger, any double-pipe-type heat exchanger, any tank heater-type heat exchanger and any shell and tube-type heat exchanger, in any case, for use in the chemical, petrochemical, power generation or gas processing industries and all services and other activities related thereto (the “Business”), including the Intellectual Property set forth on Schedule 1.1(b) to the Asset Purchase Agreement, together with all income, royalties, damages and payments due or payable on or after March 27, 2015 (including damages and payments for past, present or future infringements, misappropriations or other violations thereof) regarding such Intellectual Property and the right to institute or maintain any Action (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) to protect such Intellectual Property and recover damages for any infringements, misappropriations or other violations of such Intellectual Property, and any corresponding, equivalent or counterpart rights, title or interest that now exist or may be secured hereafter of Peerless anywhere in the world, (c) the Records (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement), (d) goodwill of Peerless associated with the customer list and relationships, including prospective relationships and sales, associated with, or part of, the Business and (e) all claims, counterclaims, Actions (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement), rights, recoveries, refunds, rights of offset or other rights associated with, or part of, the Acquired Assets (as defined below), whether choate or inchoate, known or unknown, contingent or noncontingent (items (a) through (e), collectively, the “Acquired Assets”), and for a cash sale price of $2,250,000 and certain other consideration, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement.   For purposes of this Limited Waiver Agreement, “Asset Purchase Agreement” means that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated March 27, 2015, by and among Peerless, PMFG, as guarantor, and Koch Heat Transfer Company, LP (“Buyer”) marked “EXECUTION VERSION”, without giving effect to any waivers, amendments or supplements thereto.

Borrower has requested a one-time waiver of the $500,000 aggregate limitation on Dispositions made in reliance upon Section 9.08(h) of the Credit Agreement on Dispositions made during the Borrower’s 2015 fiscal year, such that the Proposed Disposition is permitted under Section 9.08(h) of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that the first $500,000 of purchase consideration for the Proposed Disposition shall be applied toward (and fully use) the $500,000 aggregate limitation on Dispositions made during Borrower’s 2015 fiscal year under such Section.

 


 

So long as (a) the consideration for the Proposed Disposition includes cash in an amount not less than $2,250,000, (b) concurrently with the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds from the Proposed Disposition, $2,000,000 of such Net Cash Proceeds are deposited into the Amended Borrowing Base Cash Collateral Account (the wire instructions for which are as follows: Bank Name: Citibank, N.A., Bank Address: 2001 Ross Avenue, Suite 4300, Dallas, TX 75201, ABA/Routing Number: 113193532, Account Name: Peerless Mfg, Co., Account Address: 14651 N. Dallas Pkwy, Suite 500, Dallas, TX 75254, Account Number: 9792234716, Special Instructions: sale proceeds from Heat Exchanger Sale), and (c) the Proposed Disposition is materially in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Lenders hereby waive, with respect to the Proposed Disposition only, the $500,000 aggregate limitation on Dispositions made in reliance upon Section 9.08(h) of the Credit Agreement made during the Borrower’s 2015 fiscal year.  Effective upon the consummation of the Proposed Disposition in accordance with the terms hereof, and without the need for further action on any person’s part, (i) the Agent and the Lenders shall be deemed to have released all Liens on the Acquired Assets sold as part of the Proposed Disposition, and (ii) the Buyer or its agent shall be authorized to file, at the Buyer's expense, a UCC-3 financing statement amendment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (collectively, the “Lien Release Provision”).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the first sentence of the paragraph, Section 9.08(h) shall not be available for other Dispositions during Borrower’s 2015 fiscal year once the Proposed Disposition is consummated.

This Limited Waiver Agreement constitutes the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.  THIS LIMITED WAIVER AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
