3.         Withdrawal of Cash.

 

3.1         On the Effective Date, JGB Waltham shall deliver instructions to PNC Bank, National Association (the “Bank”) in accordance with the Blocked Account Agreement (as defined in the December Debenture) to deliver immediately available funds in amount equal to $172,000 from the Blocked Account to the account of the Company set forth on Schedule A attached hereto (the “Company Account”).

 

3.2         On the Effective Date, JGB Concord shall deliver instructions to the Bank in accordance with the Deposit Account Agreement (as defined in the February Convertible Note) to deliver immediately available funds in amount equal to $328,000 from the Deposit Account to the Company Account.

In addition, the Company will not deliver a Release Request within the first five (5) Trading Days immediately after JGB Waltham has delivered a Notice of Conversion (as defined in the December Debenture) to the Company under the December Debenture or JGB Concord has delivered a Notice of Conversion (as defined in the February Convertible Note) to the Borrowers under the February Convertible Note.

For the further avoidance of doubt, JGB may condition its acceptance of any Release Request upon the Company’s agreement to publicly announce the release of the Requested Amount from the Blocked Account and/or Deposit Account, as the case may be, and any other information or details related thereto.

4.1         Amendment to the December Debenture.

4.2         Amendment to the December Note.

 

(a)         The December Note is hereby amended, effective on the Effective Date, by replacing the reference to “0.67%” in Section 1(b) thereof with “1.67%”.

 

(b)         In addition, to the extent that, after the date hereof, JGB grants any Release Request or otherwise releases any funds in accordance with Section 3.3 of this Agreement, then in such event the December Note shall be amended by increasing the annual rate of interest by 0.20 percentage points for each $100,000 in the aggregate released from the Blocked Account and/or the Deposit Account pursuant to Section 3.3. Any such amendment to the December Note shall take effect on the first day of the month immediately following the month in which such release of funds occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any amendment to the December Notes cause the Applicable Interest Rate to exceed 6%.

 

4.3         Amendment to the February Convertible Note.

 

(a)         The February Convertible Note is hereby amended, effective on the Effective Date, by replacing the reference to “0.67%” in the definition of “Applicable Interest Rate” with “1.67%”.

 

 5 

 

 

(b)         In addition, to the extent that, after the date hereof, JGB grants any Release Request or otherwise releases any funds in accordance with Section 3.3 of this Agreement, then in such event the February Convertible Note shall be amended by increasing the Applicable Interest Rate by 0.20 percentage points for each $100,000 in the aggregate released from the Blocked Account and/or the Deposit Account pursuant to Section 3.3. Any such amendment to the February Convertible Note shall take effect on the first day of the month immediately following the month in which such release of funds occurred.

4.4         Amendment to the February Note.

 

(a)         The February Note is hereby amended, effective on the Effective Date, by replacing the reference to “0.67%” in Section 1(b) thereof with “1.67%”.

 

(b)         In addition, to the extent that, after the date hereof, JGB grants any Release Request or otherwise releases any funds in accordance with Section 3.3 of this Agreement, then in such event the February Note shall be amended by increasing the annual rate of interest by 0.20 percentage points for each $100,000 in the aggregate released from the Blocked Account and/or the Deposit Account pursuant to Section 3.3. Any such amendment to the Febuary Note shall take effect on the first day of the month immediately following the month in which such release of funds occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any amendment to the February Notes cause the Applicable Interest Rate to exceed 6%.

 

4.5         Illustrative Example. It is the intent of the parties that for each $100,000 in the aggregate that is released from the Deposit Account and/or the Block Account the annual rate of interest on each JGB Note shall increase by 0.20 percentage points. For example and illustrative purposes, if (A) on December 1, 2016, the annual rate of interest in effect under each JGB Note is 1.67%, and (B) on December 2, 2016, $50,000 is released from the Deposit Account pursuant to Section 3.3 and $50,000 is released from the Blocked Account pursuant to Section 3.3, then on January 1, 2017, the annual rate of interest on each JGB Note shall be 1.87% (e.g., an increase of 0.20 percentage points).

 

4.6         Reduction in Interest Rate. To the extent that at the close of business on August 20, 2016, the balance of the Deposit Account is equal to or greater than $12,190,054.62 (or such lesser amount required to be on deposit in the Deposit Account under the February Convertible Note) and the balance of the Blocked Account is equal to or greater than $4,000,000 (or such lesser amount required to be on deposit in the Blocked Account under the December Debenture), in each case, as a result of deposits of funds to each such account by a Borrower, at such Borrower’s option, then the rate of interest in effect on each JGB Note shall be 1.17%; provided, there shall be no reduction in any default rate of interest specified in a JGB Note (regardless of whether or not such default rate is in effect at such time). For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent of any release of funds subsequent to August 20, 2016, pursuant to Section 3.3, the rate of interest for each JGB Note shall be increased as provided in Sections 4.1 through 4.4. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrowers are under no obligation to return any funds released pursuant to Section 3 to the Blocked Account or Deposit Account.

 

 6 

 

 

4.7         Calculation of Interest. JGB’s calculation of the rate of interest in effect under each JGB Note shall be final and binding on the Borrowers absent manifest error and the Company shall certify in writing the rate of interest in effect under each JGB Note upon JGB’s request.

 

4.8         Reconfirmation of Liens and Security Interest. Nothing herein shall impair or limit the continuation of the liens and security interests granted to JGB Waltham under the December Security Agreement, the other Security Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), pursuant to the Consent, dated March 9, 2016, by and among the Company and JGB Waltham, the December Forbearance Agreement or any deposit account control agreement with any depositary bank (collectively, the “December Security Instruments”), which liens are continued in full force and effect pursuant to and as provided therein, and which liens secure all December Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company and each Guarantor agrees that all references to the “Obligations” in any Security Instrument include the December Note and the December Debenture as amended hereby and that reference to the “Debenture” in any December Security Instrument means the December Debenture and the December Note as amended hereby. The Company and each Guarantor acknowledges the continuing existence and priority of all liens and security interests granted, conveyed, and assigned pursuant to the December Security Instruments to which it is a party, in accordance with such instruments, and agrees to perform such acts and duly authorize, execute, acknowledge, deliver, file, and record such additional documents and certificates as JGB Waltham requests in order to perfect, preserve, and protect such liens and security interests.

 

4.9         Reconfirmation of Guarantees. Each Guarantor acknowledges the amendment of the December Debenture and the December Note pursuant to this Agreement and ratifies and confirms that the December Subsidiary Guaranty executed by such Guarantor is not released, diminished, impaired, reduced, or otherwise adversely affected by such amendment and continues to guarantee and assure the full payment and performance of all present and future obligations under the December Debenture, the December Note and the other December Debenture Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company and each Guarantor agrees that all references to the “Indebtedness” in the December Subsidiary Guaranty include the December Note and the December Debenture as amended hereby and that reference to the “Debenture” in the December Subsidiary Guaranty means the December Debenture and the December Note as amended hereby.

 

 7
