Reference is made to that certain Promissory Note dated December 31, 2012, as amended and restated on November 19, 2013 (the “Note”) between JFC Technologies, LLC (“Lender”) and Cyalume Technologies Holdings, Inc. (“Borrower”).

 

1.           Lender understands that Borrower intends to pay in full the Note (collectively, the “Obligations”). If paid before 5:00 p.m. (Chicago, IL, time) on May 12, 2015 (the “Pay-Off Date”), the amount of the obligations to be paid by Borrower to Lender is $2,694,484.24 (the “Pay-Off Amount”), comprised as follows:

Pay-Off Amount  $2,694,484.24 

 

The Pay-Off Amount shall be increased by $690.41 (the “Per Diem Amount”) for each day after the Pay- Off Date until the Pay-Off Amount is paid in full; provided, however, that (i) amounts received at or after 5:00 pm (Chicago, IL, time) on any business day shall be deemed to be received on the next business day for purposes of calculating the Per Diem Amount and (ii) this letter shall terminate and be of no force or effect if the Pay-Off Amount and the Per Diem Amount are not received before 5:00 p.m. (Chicago, IL, time) on May 29, 2015.

 

2.           Payment of an amount equal to the Pay-Off Amount, plus the Per Diem Amount (if any), should be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds as follows (the “Payment Instructions”):

 

[Bank Information Redacted]

 

 
 

 

3.           Upon receipt of the Pay-Off Amount, plus the Per Diem Amount (if any), by Lender pursuant to the Payment Instructions before 5:00 p.m. (Chicago, IL, time) on or before May 29, 2015 (the “Payoff Effective Time”), (a) the Obligations are satisfied in full and terminated, (b) all assignments, pledges, security interests, and other liens on any and all real and personal property assets of Borrower and any other obligor which may have been granted to Lender in connection with the Note are automatically terminated and released, (c) Lender agrees to deliver, at the request of Borrower or Borrower’s counsel (at Borrower’s expense), such security interest and other lien amendments, releases and termination statements as are necessary to effectuate the release described in the foregoing clause (b), and (d) Lender hereby releases and forever discharges any and all claims now existing, owing or in the future arising against the Borrower or any other obligor in connection with the Obligations.

 

4.           Upon the Payoff Effective Time: (a) Borrower, Borrower’s counsel, or a designee of Borrower shall be authorized to file the UCC termination statements attached as Exhibit A hereto with the appropriate filing offices in order to evidence or otherwise give public notice of such collateral terminations and releases; provided, however, that any and all such UCC termination statements shall be prepared and recorded at Borrower’s expense, and (b) upon the request of the Borrower, Borrower’s counsel, or a designee of Borrower, Lender further agrees to promptly deliver following the Payoff Effective Time to Borrower, Borrower’s counsel, or a designee of Borrower, at Borrower’s expense all such other cancellations, satisfactions and other documents necessary to terminate all instruments of record in favor of Borrower with respect to all liens on the real and personal property of Borrower in connection with the Note or any other obligor securing the Obligations.

 

5.          The Lender hereby confirms to the Borrower that upon payment by the Lender to the Borrower of the Pay-Off Amount (plus the Per Diem Amount to the extent required under section 1 of this letter): (a) the Note is paid-in-full, (b) the Note is terminated in its entirety, and (c) the Borrower does not owe to the Lender any debt for borrowed money.

 

6.          In addition to the provisions Section 7 (Board Designation) of that certain Amendment Agreement, dated December 27, 2012, by and among Cyalume Technologies Holdings, Inc. (for this paragraph, the “Parent”), Cyalume Specialty Products, Inc., JFC Technologies, LLC and James G. Schleck (the “Amendment Agreement”), James G.

Schleck collectively own at least 10% of the total number of outstanding shares of Parent’s Common Stock, or (b) JFC Technologies, LLC shall continue to beneficially own any shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Parent. At any time on or after such date on which none of the Board Designation Conditions is satisfied, James G. Schleck shall, upon receipt of a written request from Parent, immediately resign from the Board.

 

7.          The parties hereto hereby acknowledge the terms and provisions of this letter by signing below. This letter shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
