(h) Section 8.2(a) of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the bold, underlined text and deleting the strickenthrough text as follows:
the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the October 31, 2017, or such other date as may have been agreed upon in writing by Buyer and the Company (such applicable date, the “Outside Date”); or
(i) A new Section 5.22 to the Merger Agreement shall be added as follows:
(a) If the Closing does not occur on or prior to the Adjustment Calculation Date, then during the period commencing on October 1, 2017 and ending on the Closing Date (the “Interim Period”) the Company shall use all Commercially Reasonable Efforts to continue to operate and carry on its business in a manner that would minimize the requirement for additional cash infusion to the Company from outside sources (regardless of whether such cash is in the form of additional equity or debt) for the purpose of funding its working capital during the Interim Period (the “Incremental Required Funds”). However, notwithstanding the Company’s use of all Commercially Reasonable Efforts to achieve the foregoing, if the Company Board determines, in its sole discretion, that Incremental Required Funds are necessary in order to operate and carry on its business in a manner not materially and adversely inconsistent with its Ordinary Course of Business, then the Company shall, if and to the extent necessary, take the following actions:
(i) borrow, in one or more draws or loans, as applicable, an amount equal to at least the Incremental Required Funds under the Company’s existing bank credit facility and/or from another lender (the “Incremental Bank Loan”) to the extent then available to the Company; and/or
(ii) accept from the Participating Stockholders one or more loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Incremental Required Funds in the form of Convertible Promissory Notes to be issued by the Company to such Participating Stockholders to the extent then available to the Company (the “Incremental Stockholder Loan”).
(b) Promptly following the Closing, solely to the extent the Participating Stockholders have funded the Incremental Stockholder Loan during the Interim Period pursuant to Section 5.22(a)(ii), in consideration of such funding, Buyer shall issue to the Participating Stockholders a number of Buyer Common Shares, rounded down to the nearest whole shares, equal to (i) the lesser of (A) 50% of the Incremental Stockholder Loan actually funded by the Participating Stockholder and (B) the Stockholder Loan Fee Cap, divided by (ii) the Buyer Public Offering Price. Any and all Buyer Common Shares that may be issued pursuant to this Section 5.22(b) shall (and any certificates or book-entry entitlements representing such Buyer Common Shares) (x) be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (y) bear all legends described in Section 2.13(c)(ii), and (z) be subject to the lock-up agreement described in Section 2.13(c)(iii).
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, (i) any issuance of Buyer Common Shares pursuant to Section 5.22(b) shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any Buyer Common Shares in respect to the Stock Merger Consideration each Participating Stockholder may be entitled to receive pursuant to this Agreement in its capacity as a stockholder of the Company in connection with the Merger, and (ii) if this Agreement is terminated for any reason prior to the Closing, then Buyer shall have no obligation to issue any Buyer Common Shares to the Participating Stockholders pursuant to Section 5.22(b) or otherwise have any obligation or liability to pay any amounts to any Participating Stockholder in respect of any Incremental Stockholder Loan or other funds that may have been provided to the Company by such Participating Stockholder.
(d) For purposes of this Section 5.22, “Stockholder Loan Fee Cap” means (i) if the pricing of the Buyer Public Offering occurs on or prior to October 9, 2017, $250,000, (ii) if the pricing of the Buyer Public Offering occurs between October 10, 2017 and October 16, 2017, $375,000, and (iii) if the pricing of the Buyer Public Offering occurs between October 17, 2017 and October 23, 2017, $500,000.
