RECITALS

 

A.      The Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company, the Purchaser and the Collateral Agent are parties to a certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 24, 2019 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Note Purchase Agreement”; capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Note Purchase Agreement), pursuant to which the Purchaser has agreed to purchase the Notes issued by Company;

 

B.     The Company has requested an amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement in relation to the Company’s issuance of additional shares of its 9.50% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Purchaser (being the sole Purchaser under the Note Purchase Agreement) executing this Fifth Amendment is willing to do so;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

A. AMENDMENTS

 

1.     Section 1.1 of the Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by adding the defined term “Third Amendment”:

 

“‘Third Amendment’ shall mean the Third Amendment to Note Purchase Agreement dated as of September 11, 2020.”

 

“‘Third Amendment Effective Date’ shall mean September 11, 2020.”

 

2.     Section 6.1 of the Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by replacing clause (o) thereof in its entirety with the following:

 

“(o)   the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock in an aggregate amount (taking into account the amount issued as allowed under the Third Amendment) not to exceed $125,000,000, of which up to $25,000,000, if not issued in an “at the market” or underwritten offering, may be used by the Company as consideration for a Permitted Acquisition or otherwise with the Purchaser’s prior written consent.”

 

 

 

B. CONSENTS

 

The Purchaser consents to one-time waiver of the condition in section 6.7(f) of the Note Purchase Agreement so that the Company may provide a one-time loan of $575,000 with a three-month duration to a senior employee of the Company, provided that such loan is made within 30 days from the date hereof.

 

C. CONDITIONS TO EFFECTIVENESS

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Fifth Amendment and without affecting in any manner the rights of the Purchaser hereunder, it is understood and agreed that this Fifth Amendment shall not become effective, and the Note Parties shall have no rights under this Fifth Amendment, until the Purchaser shall have received executed counterparts to this Fifth Amendment from the Company and the Purchaser.
