SECOND AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

 

THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”), effective as of April 7, 2016, is entered into by and among Long Island Brand Beverages LLC, a New York limited liability company (“Borrower”), Long Island Iced Tea Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Brentwood LIIT Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Lender”).

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of a certain Credit and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated November 23, 2015 and amended as of January 10, 2016, by and between Borrower, Parent and the Lender, the Lenders made available to the Borrower a secured convertible line of credit presently in the amount of up to One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000), subject to increase as provided therein, up to a maximum principal amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), all on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein; and

 

WHEREAS, the Lender has agreed to, among other things, convert the amounts owed under the Note into shares of Common Stock and to surrender the Warrant in exchange for shares of Common Stock, contingent upon the Company completing a public offering of its Common Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with gross proceeds to the Company of at least $5,000,000 (a “Qualified Public Offering”); and

 

WHEREAS, Borrower, Parent and the Lender wish to enter into this Amendment to confirm such agreement and other agreements of the parties.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises and representations set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby expressly and mutually acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.           Incorporation. The Recitals set forth at the beginning of this Amendment are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement by this reference. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.

 

2.           Recapitalization.

 

(a)           At the Closing (as defined below), without any further action by Lender, the Company or Parent, and notwithstanding any conflicting provision of the Agreement or the Note, all of the outstanding principal of the Note (including all capitalized fees and interest) and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be converted (the “Conversion”) into, and Parent shall issue to Lender, Four Hundred Twenty-One Thousand Nine Hundred Seventy-Two (421,972) shares of Common Stock (adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits after the date hereof), subject to increase or decrease in amount negotiated in good faith by the parties hereto if any additional Advances are approved by the Lender after the date hereof and made prior to the Closing or any amount of principal or interest is repaid in cash by the Borrower prior to the Closing (it being understood and agreed that Lender shall have no obligation to make any such Advance unless such increase or decrease is approved by Lender) (the “Conversion Shares”). Lender shall not be required to surrender the Note in connection with the Conversion. Lender, the Company and Parent agree that, after the Closing, there shall be no principal (including capitalized fees or interest) or interest thereon due under the Note, the Agreement shall not be terminated as a result of the Conversion and the Note shall remain outstanding and shall represent the right to repayment of any future Advances under the Line of Credit, any interest thereon and all other Obligations in accordance with its existing terms and conditions. Following the Closing, Lender, the Parent and the Borrower shall update their records showing the entire principal amount under the Note (including all capitalized fees and interest) and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon has been converted and the date of the Conversion. Lender acknowledges and agrees that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the Conversion, the principal amount of the Note will be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

 

 

 

(b)           At the Closing, Lender shall surrender the Warrant for, and Parent shall cancel the Warrant and shall issue to Lender (the “Exchange”), Four Hundred Eighty-Six Thousand One Hundred Eleven (486,111) shares of Common Stock (adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits after the date hereof) (the “Exchange Shares,” and together with the Conversion Shares, the “Shares”). Lender agrees that, at the Closing, the Warrant will be canceled and of no further force or effect. Lender further agrees (i) to surrender the Warrant to Parent (or, if the Warrant has been lost, mutilated or destroyed, an affidavit to such effect and indemnity reasonably acceptable to Parent) and (ii) the Warrant shall be deemed cancelled and of no further force or effect as of the Closing and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Exchange Shares even if Lender fails to surrender the Warrant.

 

(c)           The closing (the “Closing”) of the Conversion and the Exchange shall be contingent upon and shall take place simultaneously with the consummation by Parent of a Qualified Public Offering.

 

(d)           Lender shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of the Shares as of the date of the Closing. Within five (5) business days after the Closing, Parent shall instruct and cause the Transfer Agent (as defined in the Note) to issue and surrender to a nationally recognized overnight courier for delivery to the address specified in writing by Lender, a certificate, registered in the name of the Lender, or its designees, for the Shares. In the event Parent does not send such instructions, Lender shall have the absolute and irrevocable right and authority to deliver this fully executed Amendment to the Transfer Agent, along with a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of Lender certifying that the Closing has occurred, and pursuant to the terms of this Amendment, the Transfer Agent shall issue the applicable Shares to Lender as hereby provided.

 

3.           Amendments to the Agreement. Effective upon the Closing:

 

(a)           The term “Facility Amount” shall mean Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000). The Recitals of the Agreement shall be amended to replace “Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000)” with “Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000)” in connection with the definition of the term Facility Amount. As of the date hereof, the Available Amount is One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000). This Amendment shall not be deemed to modify the Available Amount.

 

 2 

 

 

(b)           All references to the Agreement in the Agreement, the other agreements referred to therein and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to be references to the Agreement as amended by this Amendment and the First Amendment to the Credit and Security Agreement, effective as of January 10, 2016, by and among the Borrower, Parent and Lender.

 

4.           No Other Changes or Modification. Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing contained in this Amendment shall be deemed to cancel, extinguish, release, discharge or constitute payment or satisfaction of the Note or the Agreement or to affect the obligations represented by the Note or the Agreement.

 

5.           Confirmation and Reaffirmation. All of the terms, covenants, conditions, waivers and consents contained in the Agreement, the other agreements referred to therein and the other Loan Documents, as amended hereby, are and shall remain in full force and effect. The Agreement, the other agreements referred to therein and the other Loan Documents, as amended hereby, the indebtedness evidenced and secured thereby and the security provided thereby are hereby ratified and confirmed, and each and every grant, provision, covenant, condition, obligation, right and power contained therein or existing with respect thereto shall continue in full force and effect. Borrower and Parent hereby acknowledge and agree that the Agreement, the other agreements referred to therein and the other Loan Documents, as amended hereby, are enforceable against Borrower and Parent and against the Collateral in accordance with their terms.
