1
 

 

WHEREAS, the Borrowers, the Guarantors, and Lender desire to enter into certain agreements with respect to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, all as more specifically set forth in this Amendment;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants of the parties hereinafter expressed and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, each intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

 

1.             Recitals. The recitations set forth in the preamble of this Amendment are true and correct and incorporated herein by this reference.

 

2.             Capitalized Terms. All capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement, except as otherwise specifically set forth herein. In addition, the other definitional and interpretation provisions of Sections 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 of the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to apply to all terms and provisions of this Amendment, unless the express context otherwise requires.

 

3.             Conflicts. In the event of any conflict or ambiguity by and between the terms and provisions of this Amendment and the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Amendment shall control, but only to the extent of any such conflict or ambiguity.

 

4.             Modification of Note. From and after the date hereof, the Revolving Note shall be and is hereby severed, split, divided and apportioned into two (2) separate and distinct notes, as follows:

 

(a)        Replacement Revolving Note A evidencing a principal indebtedness of One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00), and which is being executed and delivered by Borrowers to Lender simultaneously herewith (the “Replacement Note A”). Replacement Note A shall be and remain secured by the Security Agreement, the Validity Guaranty, the UCC-1’s, and all other applicable Loan Documents.

 

(b)        Replacement Revolving Note B evidencing a principal indebtedness of Two Million Three Hundred Sixty-Eight Thousand Three Hundred Ninety-Five and 90/100 Dollars ($2,368,395.90), and which is being executed and delivered by Borrowers to Lender simultaneously herewith (the “Replacement Note B”, and together with Replacement Note A, collectively, the “Replacement Notes”). Replacement Note B shall be and remain secured by the Security Agreement, the Validity Guaranty, the UCC-1’s, and all other applicable Loan Documents.

 

(c)        The Replacement Notes are being executed and delivered simultaneously herewith in substitution for and to supersede the Revolving Note in its entirety. It is the intention of the Borrowers and Lender that while the Replacement Notes replace and supersede the Revolving Note, in its entirety, it is not in payment or satisfaction of the Revolving Note, but rather is the substitute of one evidence of debt for another without any intent to extinguish the old. Nothing contained in this Amendment or in the Replacement Notes shall be deemed to extinguish the indebtedness and obligations evidenced by the Revolving Note or constitute a novation of the indebtedness evidenced by the Revolving Note.

 

(d)        Notwithstanding the splitting of the Revolving Note into the Replacement Notes in the principal amounts as contemplated by this Amendment, Borrowers understand and acknowledge that all sums received by Lender in payment of the Replacement Notes, or either one of them, shall be applied by Lender in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, first to outstanding fees, charges and other costs due and payable under the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents, second to accrued and unpaid interest, and last to outstanding principal. By way of example, and not in limitation, if Replacement Note A is sold as contemplated under the Debt Purchase Agreement, upon Lender’s receipt of the purchase price therefor, such amounts received by Lender shall be applied to the total indebtedness evidenced by the Replacement Notes in the order described above.

 

2
 

 

(e)        Borrowers understand and acknowledge that in connection with the Debt Purchase Agreement, it may necessary or desirable, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, to have the Borrowers further sever, split, divide and apportion the Replacement Notes further to accomplish the sale of the Outstanding Claims to Purchaser in various tranches, as more specifically set forth in the Debt Purchase Agreement. In that regard, within no later than three (3) Business Days after request therefor is made by Lender to Borrowers from time to time, the Borrowers agree to further sever, split, divide and apportion the Replacement Notes, or any of them (or any replacement notes issued in replacement thereof from time to time), and to execute and deliver such replacement notes to Lender within such time frames as required or requested by Lender from time to time.

 

5.             Sale of Replacement Notes.

 

(a)        The parties acknowledge that Lender is entering into this Amendment in connection with the contemplated sale of the indebtedness represented by the Replacement Notes to Iconic Holdings I, LLC (“Purchaser”) under the terms of a Debt Purchase Agreement (the “Debt Purchase Agreement”) to be entered into promptly after the execution of this Amendment. In that regard, the Borrowers and Guarantors hereby represent and warrant to Lender as follows, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of the date hereof, and which representations and warranties shall be deemed re-made and be true and correct as of each sale of the Replacement Notes:

 

(i)        All amounts of any nature or kind due and owing by the Borrowers and Guarantors to Lender under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and represented by the Replacement Notes or any other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Outstanding Claims”) are bona fide Outstanding Claims against the Borrowers and Guarantors, respectively and as applicable, and are enforceable obligations of the Borrowers and Guarantors, respectively and as applicable, arising in the ordinary course of business, for services and financial accommodations rendered to the Borrowers by Lender in good faith. The Outstanding Claims are currently due and owing and are payable in full.

 

(ii)        The amount of the Replacement Notes, respectively and as applicable, is the amount due to Lender with respect thereto as of the date hereof, and neither the Borrowers, nor the Guarantors are entitled to any discounts, allowances or other deductions with respect thereto. The aggregate amount of the indebtedness evidenced by the Replacement Notes was funded by Lender to Borrowers at least x six months preceding the date hereof, or ¨ one year preceding the date hereof.

 

(iii)        The Outstanding Claims are not subject to dispute by the Borrowers or Guarantors, and the Borrowers and Guarantors are unconditionally obligated to pay the full amount of all Outstanding Claims without defense, counterclaim or offset.

 

(iv)        Except for the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents, including this Amendment and the Settlement Agreement, there has been no modification, compromise, forbearance, or waiver (written or oral) entered into or given by Lender to Borrowers or Guarantors with respect to the Outstanding Claims.

(v)             Intentionally left blank.

 

(vi)           That the Credit Agreement and each of the Loan Documents executed by the Borrowers and Guarantors, including the Settlement Agreement, respectively and as applicable, and all obligations due and owing thereunder, are valid and binding obligations of the Borrowers and Guarantors, respectively and as applicable, enforceable against the Borrowers and Guarantors in accordance with their respective terms.

 

(b)         The Borrowers and Guarantors acknowledge that the Outstanding Claims are being sold by Lender to Purchaser in accordance with the Debt Purchase Agreement, and that payment of the purchase price by Purchaser to Lender for such Outstanding Claims is conditioned upon the Borrowers’ strict compliance with the terms of certain agreements to be entered into between the Borrowers and Purchaser (the “Iconic Agreements”). Borrowers hereby covenant and agree to strictly comply with each and every term and provision of the Iconic Agreements, including, without limitation, timely issuance and delivery of Common Stock to Purchaser upon conversion by Purchaser of any convertible notes then in Purchaser’s possession. In addition, Borrowers and Guarantors hereby acknowledge that if the Issuing Borrower fails to issue and deliver its Common Stock to Purchaser in strict accordance with the terms of the Iconic Agreements, then the Outstanding Claims (or any portion thereof for which the purchase price therefor remains unpaid) shall be and remain a valid and effective debt of the Borrowers and Guarantors, respectively and as applicable, to Lender, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and such Outstanding Claims, and all collateral and security rights related thereto (except with respect to any portion of the Outstanding Claims sold to Purchaser and for which the purchase price therefor was paid to Lender), shall not be deemed or construed as having been compromised, settled, exchanged, extinguished, modified, or otherwise impaired in any manner whatsoever.

 

(c)         The Borrowers and Guarantors understand and acknowledge that Lender is relying on the representations, warranties and covenants of the Borrowers and Guarantors set forth in this Amendment in order to enter into the Debt Purchase Agreement, and the foregoing representations, warranties and acknowledgements by the Borrowers and Guarantors are a material inducement for Lender to agree to a sale of the Outstanding Claims to Purchaser, and without this acknowledgement, Lender would not have sold the Outstanding Claims to Purchaser.

 

6.             Ratification. The Borrowers and Guarantors each hereby acknowledge, represent, warrant and confirm to Lender that: (i) each of the Loan Documents executed by the Borrowers and Guarantors, including the Settlement Agreement, are valid and binding obligations of the Borrowers and Guarantors, respectively and as applicable, enforceable against the Borrowers and Guarantors in accordance with their respective terms; (ii) all Obligations of the Borrowers and Guarantors under the Credit Agreement, all other Loan Documents and this Amendment, including the Settlement Agreement, shall be and continue to be and remain (after execution of this Amendment and the Debt Purchase Agreement) secured by and under the Loan Documents, including the Security Agreement, the Validity Guaranty, and the UCC-1’s; (iii) there are no defenses, setoffs, counterclaims, cross-actions or equities in favor of the Borrowers or Guarantors, to or against the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, and to the extent any of the Borrowers or Guarantors have any defenses, setoffs, counterclaims, cross-actions or equities against Lender and/or against the enforceability of any of the Loan Documents, the Borrowers and Guarantors each acknowledge and agree that same are hereby fully and unconditionally waived by the Borrowers and Guarantors; and (iv) no oral representations, statements, or inducements have been made by Lender, or any agent or representative of Lender, with respect to the Credit Agreement, this Amendment, the Settlement Agreement, or any other Loan Documents, or the Debt Purchase Agreement.
