Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Borrowers, Agent and Lenders are parties to the Credit Agreement pursuant to which Lenders extended certain loans and other financial accommodations (collectively, the “Loans”) to Borrowers. The Loans are secured by, among other things, a lien upon substantially all of each Borrower's assets. Appliance Recycling Centers of America, Inc. (“ARCA Parent”) desires to sell all of its equity interests held in ARCA Advanced Processing, LLC (the “AAP Equity Interests”). In connection with such sale, ARCA Parent has requested that Agent release any security interest it may have in the AAP Equity Interests.

 

Upon Agent's receipt of (a) fully executed documents related to the sale of the AAP Equity Interests by ARCA Parent pursuant to an asset purchase agreement, equity purchase agreement, and other documents and agreements related thereto, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, (b) Eight Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($800,000.00) in immediately available funds (representing all of the proceeds payable to ARCA Parent in connection with the sale of the AAP Equity Interests) into Wells Fargo account number 4121762140 from the sale of the AAP Equity Interests (which will be applied to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Loans), (c) evidence of release of the Guarantees (as defined in Schedule 7.4 of the Credit Agreement), and (d) assumption of the indebtedness of ARCA Parent owing to General Electric Company (whether such assumption is made directly or indirectly by indemnification and/or backstopping of accounts receivable and accounts payable), Agent hereby releases any and all security interests it may have in and to the AAP Equity Interests.
