WHEREAS, Borrowers and Lender are parties to that certain Credit and Security Agreement dated as of April 29, 2016 (as the same may from time to time be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, collectively, the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Lender has made certain credit facilities available to Borrowers. The Credit Agreement and all instruments, documents and agreements executed in connection therewith, or related thereto are referred to herein collectively as the “Existing Loan Documents.”
WHEREAS, Borrower (a) has failed to maintain Consolidated Unencumbered Liquid Assets of at least $750,000 as measured on June 30, 2016 as required pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Credit Agreement, (b) has failed to achieve Aggregate Revenue for the twelve (12) consecutive month period ending June 30, 2016 of at least $34,000,000 as required pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Credit Agreement, (c) has failed to achieve EBITDA, on a consolidated basis, for the six (6) consecutive month period ending June 30, 2016 of at least ($2,000,000) as required pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Credit Agreement, and (d) has failed to comply with Sections 7.13.1, 7.13.2 and 7.13.3 of that certain Credit Agreement dated as of April 17, 2015 by and among Borrowers and Closing Date Subordinated Creditor as amended, as required pursuant to Section 8.1(f) of the Credit Agreement, each of which failures constitutes an Event of Default under Section 8.1 of the Credit Agreement (the “Subject Events of Default”);
WHEREAS, by reason of the existence of the Subject Events of Default, Lender has full legal right to exercise its rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and Borrowers have no defenses, offsets or counterclaims to the exercise of such rights and remedies;
WHEREAS, Borrowers have requested and Lender has agreed to, among other things, (i) for the period from the date hereof through the Forbearance Period (as defined below) to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents with respect to the Subject Events of Default and (ii) subject to the satisfaction or waiver, in Lender’s sole discretion, of each of the
conditions precedent set forth herein, amend the terms and conditions of the Existing Loan Documents pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the mutual covenants and conditions herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1.Defined Terms. Initially capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein that are defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement (as amended hereby).
2. Agreement to Forbear. During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the earlier to occur of (i) September 30, 2016 and (ii) the occurrence of any Additional Default (as defined below) (the “Forbearance Period”), and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender agrees that it will forbear from exercising its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents due to the Subject Events of Default. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, nothing contained herein shall limit any rights or remedies of Lender under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document based on any Default or Event of Default which is not a Subject Event of Default (each an “Additional Default”). Upon the expiration or termination of the Forbearance Period, Lender’s forbearance shall automatically terminate and Lender shall be entitled to exercise any and all of its rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents without further notice; provided however, that in the event that, (i) Borrowers’ Net Accounts Payable (as defined below) is less than $4,900,000 as measured on September 30, 2016 and (ii) no Additional Default has occurred and is continuing, Lenders shall waive the Subject Events of Default. Borrowers hereby agree that Lender shall have no obligation to extend the Forbearance Period. For purposes of this Agreement, “Net Accounts Payable” shall mean, as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (x) the aggregate amount of all accounts payable due and owing by Borrower and its Affiliates minus (y) Borrower’s Consolidated Unencumbered Liquid Assets minus (z) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the amount of any Availability.
3. Limited Waiver and Forbearance. Except as it relates to the forbearance and potential waiver specifically set forth in Section 2 above as it relates to the Subject Events of Default, nothing contained in this Agreement or any other communication between Lender, Borrowers or any other loan party shall be a waiver of any past, present or future violation, Default or Event of Default of Borrowers under the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document. Lender hereby expressly reserves any rights, privileges and remedies under the Credit Agreement and each Loan Document that Lender may have with respect to any violation, Default or Event of Default, and any failure by Lender to exercise any right, privilege or remedy as a result of the violations set forth above shall not directly or indirectly in any way whatsoever either (i) impair, prejudice or otherwise adversely affect the rights of Lender, except as set forth herein, at any time to exercise any right, privilege or remedy in connection with the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document, (ii) amend or alter any provision of the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document or any other contract or instrument or (iii) constitute any course of dealing or other basis for altering any obligation of Borrower or any rights, privilege or remedy of Lender under the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document or any
2
other contract or instrument. Except with respect to the forbearance relating to, and the potential waiver of, the Subject Events of Default, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to be a consent by Lender to any prior, existing or future violations of the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document.
4. Future Compliance. Borrowers are hereby notified that irrespective of (i) any waivers or consents previously granted by Lender regarding the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents, (ii) any previous failures or delays of Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege under the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents or (iii) any previous failures or delays of Lender in the monitoring or in the requiring of compliance by Borrowers with the duties, obligations and agreements of Borrowers in the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents, Borrowers will be expected to comply strictly with its duties, obligations and agreements under the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents.
