AMENDMENT NO. 2 AND WAIVER

This AMENDMENT NO. 2 AND WAIVER (this “Amendment”) is made and entered into as of October 21, 2020 by ORBIMED ROYALTY OPPORTUNITIES II, LP, in its capacity as Origination Agent and a Lender (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) and DEERFIELD PRIVATE DESIGN FUND III, L.P., in its capacity as a Lender, in favor of ACUTUS MEDICAL, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”) and acknowledged by WILMINGTON TRUST, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, in its capacity as Administrative Agent (as defined in the Credit Agreement) under the Credit Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders, the Origination Agent and the Administrative Agent are party to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of May 20, 2019 (as amended by that certain First Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of June 7, 2019 and as further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lenders have agreed to extend certain Loans to the Borrower on the terms set forth therein;

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower is required to furnish to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders certain financial statements, documents and other information from time to time;

WHEREAS, in each case upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Amendment, the Lenders have agreed to waive the requirement to deliver certain periodic documents and information required under Section 7.1 of the Credit Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Lenders agree as follows:

1.Definitions; Loan Document. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement. This Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

2.Temporary Waiver of Certain Periodic Information.

(a)Subject to the terms hereof, notwithstanding any term or provision of Section 7.1 of the Credit Agreement, each Lender hereby waives satisfaction by the Borrower of the requirement to deliver or furnish, and the Borrower hereby agrees that it shall not deliver or furnish, to such Lender, any of the reports or information required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(a) and Section 7.1(m) of the Credit Agreement (the “Waived Information”), in each case unless and until such Lender otherwise notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing.

(b)The parties agree that the waiver provided in this Section 2 is temporary,

 


 

and not permanent, and that the Borrower shall, upon written notice from a Lender to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, (i) immediately recommence (or cause to be recommenced) delivery to such Lender of any or all of the Waived Information and (ii) to the extent specifically requested by such Lender, deliver (or cause to be delivered) any prior Waived Information that, but for the application of Section 2, would have been required to be delivered to such Lender pursuant to the Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, a Lender may request to receive Waived Information while another Lender continues to waive delivery of such Waived Information. The Borrower shall maintain a record of each Lender’s requests for the receipt or waiver of Waived Information and shall be responsible for ensuring that each Lender shall receive only the Waived Information it has requested.

3.Certain Inside Information.

(a)In the event that the Borrower believes that any Specified Report (as defined below) contains any Inside Information (as defined below), the Borrower shall so indicate to the Administrative Agent and each Lender no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the required time of delivery to the Administrative Agent of such Specified Report, which indication shall be in writing (email being sufficient) and shall provide the Administrative Agent and each Lender with an explanation as to why such Specified Report contains Inside Information (without otherwise disclosing or describing the content of such Inside Information) and any other means to allow the Administrative Agent and each Lender to determine whether to refuse to receive such Specified Report in whole or in part (and in the absence of any such indication, the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be allowed to presume that such Specified Report does not contain Inside Information). Each Lender may elect, at its sole discretion, by providing written indication (email being sufficient) to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent prior to the required date of delivery thereof: (i) not to receive any Specified Report or any portion thereof (including any portions which the Borrower may have indicated contain Inside Information), in which case the Borrower shall not be required to furnish such Specified Report or portion thereof, as the case may be, to such Lender; or (ii) direct the Borrower to redact or otherwise remove from any Specified Report any portions thereof or information therein containing Inside Information. In the absence of any such written indication by a Lender prior to the required date of delivery of any Specified Report, the Borrower shall be required to timely furnish such Specified Report to such Lender in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

(b)The parties agree that the provisions in this Section 3 are temporary, and not permanent, and that the Borrower shall, upon written notice from a Lender to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, (i) immediately recommence (or cause to be recommenced) automatic delivery to such Lender of any or all of the Specified Reports, without the need for prior compliance with the procedure specified in the first sentence of Section 3(a) above, and (ii) to the extent specifically requested by such Lender, deliver (or cause to be delivered) any prior Specified Report or portions thereof that, but for the application of Section 3, would have been required to be delivered to such Lender pursuant to the Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, a Lender may request to receive Specified Reports while another Lender continues to waive delivery of such Specified Reports. The Borrower shall maintain a record of each Lender’s requests for the receipt or

-2-


 

waiver of Specified Reports and shall be responsible for ensuring that each Lender shall receive only the Specified Reports it has requested.

(c)For purposes of this Section 3:

(i)Inside Information” means any (A) material non-public information in respect of, or relating to, the Borrower, any of its Affiliates, Capital Securities or other securities or any other publicly listed or traded company, or (B) “insider information” or “inside information” or other information (1) which, if used by any Person in connection with (or possessed by any Person while) purchasing, selling or otherwise trading in any Capital Securities or other securities of the Borrower or any other publicly listed or traded company, could result in the violation of any applicable securities Laws, or (2) the possession of which could otherwise restrict or limit trading by any Person in any Capital Securities or other securities of the Borrower or any other publicly listed or traded company under any applicable securities Laws; and

(ii)Specified Report” means any notice, report, information or communication required to be furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under Section 7.1(f), Section 7.1(g), Section 7.1(h), Section 7.1(k) or Section 7.1(l) of the Credit Agreement.

4.Certain Obligations.

(a)Without limiting the provisions of Sections 2 and 3, the parties hereto hereby agree that neither the Borrower nor the Administrative Agent shall, and each such Person shall cause each of its employees, officers, directors (or equivalent persons), Affiliates, attorneys, agents and representatives not to, provide any Lender with Waived Information or any Lender who has elected not to receive a Specified Report or other Inside Information or any of its attorneys, agents or representatives (other than the Administrative Agent and its attorneys) with such Specified Report or Inside Information from and after the date hereof without the express prior written consent of such Lender (which consent may be provided by written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in a specified case or on an ongoing basis (subject in any case to such Lender’s right to withdraw such consent in a subsequent written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent)).

(b)Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not provide any Waived Information, Specified Report or Inside Information to any Lender without complying with the process set forth in Sections 2 and 3 hereof, as if the Administrative Agent were the Borrower for purposes thereof, and (ii) no Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender shall be deemed to be in possession of any Waived Information, Specified Report or Inside Information because such Waived Information, Specified Report or Inside Information was provided to the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any attorney or agent of any Lender (including attorneys to any Lender), and the Borrower agrees not to (and the Borrower agrees to cause its Affiliates

-3-


 

not to) assert any contrary position.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (a) and (b), the Borrower and the Lenders acknowledge that (i) pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Credit Agreement, it is the Borrower’s obligation to furnish to the Lenders any financial statements, reports, notices and information described in Section 7.1 of the Credit Agreement, (ii) the Administrative Agent has no duty or obligation to provide any Waived Information or Specified Reports to any Lender, and (iii) each Lender seeking any Waived Information or Specified Repots shall request such documents and information directly from the Borrower.
