INTERCOMPANY NOTE

 

Date:  September 29, 2017

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ANGI Homeservices Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of IAC Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Lender”), in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of this intercompany note (this “Note”), which amount the Borrower has borrowed from the Lender on or following the date hereof pursuant to this Note, together with interest and any additional principal and other amounts as provided herein.

 

1.      Principal.  The Lender shall, on the date hereof, advance $15,000,000 to the Borrower for the working capital purposes of the Borrower and its subsidiaries (the “Closing Date Advance”).  The Lender may, in its sole discretion, advance further amounts under this Note in United States Dollars from time to time following a written request by the Borrower (each such advance and the Closing Date Advance, an “Advance”, and the date of each Advance, an “Advance Date”).  The Lender shall endorse Schedule A hereto to reflect the date and amount of each Advance made under this Note, and the date and amount of any payment or prepayment of principal hereof; provided that the failure of the Lender to make any such endorsement (or any error in such endorsement) shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder. Each such endorsement shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information endorsed, in the absence of manifest error.

 

2.      Interest.  Interest in respect of any Advance shall accrue from the Advance Date with respect to such Advance on the unpaid principal balance of such Advance at a per annum rate equal to the sum of (i) the Eurocurrency Rate (as defined in that certain amended and restated credit agreement, dated as of October 7, 2015, among IAC/InterActiveCorp, as borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent, the issuing banks, the lenders and the other parties thereto, as further amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified or refinanced or replaced from time to time (the  “IAC Credit Agreement”)) on the date of incurrence of such Advance (using a  three (3) month  Interest Period (as defined in the IAC Credit Agreement) unless the parties otherwise agree); provided that if no IAC Credit Agreement exists the Lender shall use the definition as if the IAC Credit Agreement most recently in effect remained in effect plus (ii) 3.25%.

 

3.      Due Date.  The unpaid principal amount of this Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest, shall become due and payable in full in cash in the currency in which it was borrowed on September 29, 2024

 



 

(the “Maturity Date”).

 

4.      Prepayment.

 

(a) Voluntary.  At any time prior to the Maturity Date and with five (5) days’ prior notice (unless the Lender agrees to a shorter notice period), the Borrower may pay, without penalty or premium, the outstanding principal amount of this Note in whole or in part, together with accrued and unpaid interest.

 

(b)           Mandatory.  If the Borrower shall, or shall permit any of its subsidiaries to, incur, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable for any indebtedness for borrowed money or any guarantee of such indebtedness, other than indebtedness owing under this Note, in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $25,000,000 (or if such indebtedness is denominated in any currency other than United States Dollars, in an aggregate principal amount which, when converted into United States Dollars at customary currency exchange rates in effect at the time of such incurrence, would exceed $25,000,000), then, on the date of receipt of the net cash proceeds of any such indebtedness by the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries, such net cash proceeds shall be used to pay, without premium or penalty, the outstanding principal amount of this Note in whole, together with accrued and unpaid interest.  The Lender may decline such prepayment in its sole discretion.

 

If a Change of Control shall occur, the Borrower shall pay on the date of such Change of Control, without premium or penalty, the outstanding principal amount of this Note in whole, together with accrued and unpaid interest.  Change of Control shall mean any of the following events:

 

i.                  the sale, lease or transfer, in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person other than a Permitted Holder;

 

ii.               the acquisition of beneficial ownership by any person or group (excluding any one or more Permitted Holders or group Controlled by any one or more Permitted Holders) of more than 35% of the aggregate voting power of all outstanding classes or series of the Borrower’s Voting Stock and such aggregate voting power exceeds the aggregate voting power of all outstanding classes or series of the Borrower’s Voting Stock beneficially owned by the Permitted Holders collectively;

 

iii.            during any period of two (2) consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the board of directors of the Borrower (together with any

 

2



 

new directors whose election by the board of directors or whose nomination for election by the equityholders of the Borrower was approved by a vote of the majority of the directors of the Borrower then still in office who were either directors at the beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Borrower’s board of directors then in office;

 

iv.           the Borrower shall adopt a plan of liquidation or dissolution or any such plan shall be approved by the stockholders of the Borrower; or

 

v.              any one or more Permitted Holders or group Controlled by any one or more Permitted Holders ceases to hold at least 50% of the aggregate voting power of all outstanding classes or series of the Borrower’s Voting Stock.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction in which the Borrower becomes a subsidiary of another Person (other than a Person that is an individual or a Permitted Holder) shall not constitute a Change of Control if the shareholders of the Borrower immediately prior to such transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, the same proportion of voting power of the outstanding classes or series of the Borrower’s voting stock as such shareholders beneficially own immediately following the consummation of such transaction.
