AGREEMENT

 

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Borrower and Lender agree as follows:

 

1.                  Amendment to Loan Agreement. Effective as of the Effective Date hereof, the Loan Agreement is modified as follows:

 

1.1              Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the definitions of “Fee Letter” and “Term Loan Interest Rate” in their entirety and replacing them with the following:

 

Fee Letter” means that certain Amended and Restated Fee Letter dated as of November 14, 2018 between Borrower and Agent.

 

Term Loan Interest Rate” means for any day a per annum rate of interest equal to (i) thegreater of (a) the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal or (b) 4.0% plus (ii) 8.25%.

 

 

 

 

1.2              Section 2.6(c) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such Section in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

 

“(c) Prepayment Charge. Concurrently with prepayment pursuant to Section 2.6(a) or (b) Borrower shall pay a charge equal to: (i) if such Advance amounts are prepaid in any of the first twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, the sum of 3% of the Advance amount being prepaid plus all required remaining scheduled interest payments which would have been due on the Advance amount being prepaid through June 28, 2019 such interest payments to be calculated at the Term Loan Interest Rate prevailing on the date of prepayment; (ii) if such Advance amounts are prepaid in any of the second twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, 2% of the Advance amount being prepaid; and (iii) if such Advance amounts are prepaid in any of the third twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, 1% of the Advance amount being prepaid (each, a “Prepayment Charge”). Borrower agrees that the Prepayment Charge is a reasonable calculation of each Lender’s lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from an early repayment of the Advances.

 

1.3              Section 7.16 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such Section in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

 

“7.16 Minimum Liquidity.

(a)        the last day of the month for each of June, July, August and September of 2018 and at all times during the period beginning on October 1, 2018 and ending on November 12, 2018, in a minimum amount equal to $10,000,000; provided, that for the first two months of each fiscal quarter beginning on or after the Closing Date, such amount shall be reduced to $5,000,000 in the event liquidity calculated as the sum of (i) unrestricted, unencumbered Cash and Cash Equivalents in one or more Deposit Accounts located in the United States which are subject to an Account Control Agreement in favor of Agent, provided that no Account Control Agreement shall be required to be in place until the seventh day after the Closing Date and (ii) the outstanding principal amount of all Eligible Accounts Receivable not required to meet the covenant set forth in Section 7.17 equals minimum amount of $10,000,000; and

 

(b)       at all times on and after November 13, 2018 and ending on the date hereof, in a minimum amount equal to $15,000,000; provided, that for the first two months of each fiscal quarter beginning on or after the Closing Date, such amount shall be reduced to $10,000,000 in the event liquidity calculated as the sum of (i) unrestricted, unencumbered Cash and Cash Equivalents in one or more Deposit Accounts located in the United States which are subject to an Account Control Agreement in favor of Agent, provided that no Account Control Agreement shall be required to be in place until the seventh day after the Closing Date and (ii) the outstanding principal amount of all Eligible Accounts Receivable not required to meet the covenant set forth in Section 7.17 equals minimum amount of $15,000,000.”
