In the event that such court determines Lender has charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, Lender shall in its sole discretion, apply and set off such excess interest received by Lender against other Obligations hereunder due or to become due and such rate shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by such law.

 

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and/or the maturity of any portion of the Obligations, any moneys on deposit with Lender shall, at Lender’s option, be applied against the Obligations in such order and manner as Lender may elect or as may otherwise be required under this Agreement.

(ii) modify the terms and conditions upon which Lender may be willing to consider making Loans hereunder or immediately and automatically terminate any further obligations to make Loans under this Agreement;

 

(iii) require Borrower to, and Borrower hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of Lender, assemble the Collateral or any part thereof, as directed by Lender and make it available to Lender at a place and time to be designated by Lender, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Lender deems commercially reasonable;

 

(iv) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral. Lender and its agents and any purchasers at or after foreclosure are hereby granted a non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, fully paid, royalty-free license or other right, solely pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.1, to use, without charge, Borrower’s Intellectual Property, including labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any Property of a similar nature, now or at any time hereafter owned or acquired by Borrower or in which Borrower now or at any time hereafter has any rights; provided that such license shall only be exercisable in connection with the disposition of Collateral upon Lender’s exercise of its remedies hereunder;

 

26

(ix) exercise any and all rights and remedies of Borrower under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including without limitation, (A) any and all rights of Borrower to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of, the accounts receivables and the other Collateral, (B) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all funds with respect to any deposit accounts, (C) exercise all other rights and remedies with respect to the accounts receivables and the other Collateral, including without limitation, those set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC and (D) exercise any and all voting, consensual and other rights with respect to any Collateral; and

 

(x) exercise all rights and remedies available to Lender under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the UCC (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).

 

Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to Borrower of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. At any sale of the Collateral, if permitted by applicable law, the Lender may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of the Collateral or any part thereof and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price of the Collateral or any part thereof payable at such sale. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Lender arising out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder. Borrower hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling the Collateral and any other security for the Obligations or otherwise.

The Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefore, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Lender shall not be obligated to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.

 

(xi) all payments received by Borrower in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Lender, shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower and shall be forthwith paid over the Lender in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement);

 

(xii) the Lender may, without notice to Borrower except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set off and otherwise apply all or part of the Obligations against any funds deposited with it or held by it;

 

27

 

 

(xiii) upon the written demand of the Lender, Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Lender a collateral assignment or assignments of any or all of Borrower’s Intellectual Property and such other documents and take such other actions as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes hereof;

 

(xiv) if Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement, then Lender may do any or all of the following: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; or (b) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 4.2 of this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such policies as Lender deems prudent. Any amounts paid or deposited by Lender shall constitute Lenders’ Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, shall bear interest at the Default Rate and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Lender shall not constitute an agreement by Lender to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Lender of any Event of Default under this Agreement. Borrower shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses, including Lenders’ Expenses, incurred by Lender in the enforcement or attempt to enforce any of the Obligations hereunder not performed when due;

 

(xv) Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Lender shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the UCC, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Lender of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Lender of any Event of Default on Borrower’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Lender shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. The Obligations of Borrower to any Lender may be enforced by such Lender against Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, it shall not be necessary for any other party to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding to enforce such Obligations;

 

(xvi) the proceeds and/or avails of the Collateral, or any part thereof, and the proceeds and the avails of any remedy hereunder (as well as any other amounts of any kind held by Lender, at the time of or received by Lender after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder) shall be paid to and applied as follows:

 

First, to the payment of documented, out-of-pocket actual costs and expenses, including all amounts expended to preserve the value of the Collateral, of foreclosure or suit, if any, and of such sale and the exercise of any other rights or remedies, and of all proper fees, expenses, liability and advances, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, incurred or made hereunder by Lender, including Lenders’ Expenses;

 

Second, to the payment to Lender of the amount then owing or unpaid on the Loans for any accrued and unpaid interest, the amounts which would have otherwise come due under Sections 2.4, 2.5 or 2.6, if the Loans had been voluntarily prepaid, the principal balance of the Loans, and all other Obligations with respect to the Loans (provided, however, if such proceeds shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due, owing or unpaid upon the Loans, then first, to the unpaid interest thereon ratably, second, to the amounts which would have otherwise come due under Section 2.3 ratably, if the Loans had been voluntarily prepaid, third, to the principal balance of the Loans ratably, and fourth, to the ratable payment of other amounts then payable to Lender under any of the Loan Documents); and

 

Third, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to Borrower, its successors and assigns or to the Person lawfully entitled to receive the same;

 

(xvii) Lender shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Agreement or any other of the Loan Documents by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely, then and in every such case (unless otherwise ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction), Lender shall be restored to its former position and rights hereunder with respect to the Property subject to the security interest created under this Agreement.

 

28

 

 

7.2. Rights Cumulative; Waivers. All rights, remedies and powers granted to Lender hereunder are irrevocable and cumulative, and not alternative or exclusive, and shall be in addition to all other rights, remedies and powers given hereunder, or in or by any other instrument, or available in law or equity. Lender’s knowledge at any time of any breach of, or non-compliance with, any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements hereunder shall not constitute or be deemed a waiver of any of such rights or remedies hereunder, and any waiver of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any other default. Notwithstanding any foreclosure or sale of any item of Collateral by Lender as permitted under this Agreement, Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency. All amounts realized by Lender in furtherance of its rights to sell or foreclose upon the Collateral shall first be applied to all costs of the action and all costs of enforcement or interpretation of this Agreement, including any court costs, legal or expert fees and filing fees, then to any outstanding interest or penalties payable under this Agreement, then to repayment of principal of all Loans.

Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution, for Borrower and any of its Subsidiary’s and in Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiary’s name to do, at Lender’s option and at Borrower’s expense upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to (a) ask, demand, collect (including, but not limited to the execution, in Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s name, of notification letters), sue for, compound and give acquittance for any and all payments assigned hereunder and to endorse, in writing or by stamp, Borrower’s name or otherwise on all checks for any monies in respect of the Collateral; (b) sign Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ name on any invoice or bill of lading for any account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about any accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Lender determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Lender or a third party as the UCC or any applicable law permits. Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Lender’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) have been satisfied in full and Lender is under no further obligation to make extend loans hereunder. Lender’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ attorney in fact, and all of Lender’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) have been fully repaid and performed and Lender’s obligation to provide loans terminates.

“(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender hereby agrees to make term loans (“Term Loan”) in a principal amount not to exceed the Maximum Credit Limit. The Obligations of Borrower under this Agreement shall at all times be absolute and unconditional. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any obligation of Lender to make any Advances hereunder is strictly contingent upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.3. Borrower shall make monthly payments of interest only in arrears at the Interest Rate of such Term Loan on each payment date commencing with June 1, 2017 through and including March 1, 2019 (“Interest Only Period”), and beginning on April 1, 2019 (the “Amortization Period”), Borrower shall make equal monthly payments on each subsequent Payment Date in an amount determined through a calculation fully amortizing the outstanding principal balance due under such Term Loan at the Interest Rate for the remaining term of such loan. Following the completion of the Interest Only Period, the remaining balance of the Term Loan represented by Promissory Note 1-1 dated May 31, 2017 (“Note 1-1”) shall be paid over a thirty (30) month Amortization Period. For clarity, the Amortization Schedule for Note 1-1 as of the First Amendment Effective Date is reflected in Exhibit A attached to the First Amendment. Lender may update the amortization schedules from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents (as further amended from time to time, the “Amortization Schedules”). In the event of any inconsistency between the Amortization Schedule and the terms of the Loan Documents (including this Section 2.1), the terms of the Loan Documents shall prevail. Borrower shall continue to comply with all of the terms and provisions hereof until all of the Obligations are paid and satisfied in full. After the Loan Termination Date, no further loans shall be available from Lender.”

 

(iv) Section 2.4. Section 2.4 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

SECTION 3 Conditions of Effectiveness. The effectiveness of this Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction by Lender in Lender’s sole discretion, that Borrower has completed each of the following conditions precedent:

 

(a) Equity Event. The Borrower shall receive net cash proceeds (not subject to any clawback, redemption, escrow or similar contractual restriction), before transaction costs and fees, from the issuance and sale by Borrower of its preferred or common stock or Subordinated Debt, in each case, to investors and on terms and conditions acceptable to Lender (collectively, the “Equity Event”), in the minimum amounts of: (i) at least $9,000,000 in aggregate, after March 1, 2018 and prior to the First Amendment Effective Date; and (ii) at least $15,000,000 in aggregate (inclusive of the $9,000,000 referenced in this Section 3(a)(i)), after March 1, 2018 and prior to October 1, 2018; provided however that if Borrower has not received at least $15,000,000 in aggregate net proceeds from the Equity Event on or before October 1, 2018, then the Interest Only Period will automatically terminate on December 1, 2018, and the Amortization Period will commence on January 1, 2019.

To induce Lender to enter into this Amendment, Borrower hereby confirms, as of the date hereof, (a) that the representations and warranties made by it in Article 4 of the Loan and Security Agreement and in the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects; provided, however, that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof; (b) that there has not been and there does not exist a Material Adverse Change; and (c) that the information included in the perfection certificate delivered to Lender on the Effective Date remains true and correct in all material respects, subject to any written updates provided to Lender since the Effective Date. For the purposes of this Section 4, (i) each reference in Articles 3 and 4 of the Loan and Security Agreement to “this Agreement,” and the words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder,” or words of like import in such Section, shall mean and be a reference to the Loan and Security Agreement as amended by this Amendment, and (ii) any representations and warranties which relate solely to an earlier date or time period shall not be deemed confirmed and restated as of the date hereof (provided that such representations and warranties shall be true, correct and complete as of such earlier date or time period).

 

SECTION 5 Miscellaneous.

 

(a) Loan Documents Otherwise Not Affected; Reaffirmation. Except as expressly amended pursuant hereto or referenced herein, the Loan and Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. Lender’s execution and delivery of, or acceptance of, this Amendment shall not be deemed to create a course of dealing or otherwise create any express or implied duty by any of them to provide any other or further amendments, consents or waivers in the future. The Borrower hereby reaffirms the grant of security under Article 3 of the Loan and Security Agreement and hereby reaffirms that such grant of security in the Collateral secures all Obligations under the Loan and Security Agreement.

 

(b) Release. In consideration of the agreements of Lender contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Borrower, on behalf of itself and its successors, assigns, and other legal representatives, hereby fully, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably releases, remises and forever discharges Lender, and its successors and assigns, and its present and former shareholders, affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions, predecessors, directors, officers, attorneys, employees, agents and other representatives (Lender and all such other persons being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Releasees” and individually as a “Releasee”), of and from all demands, actions, causes of action, suits, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises, sums of money, accounts, bills, reckonings, damages and any and all other claims, counterclaims, defenses, rights of set-off, demands and liabilities whatsoever of every name and nature, both at law and in equity, which Borrower, or any of its successors, assigns, or other legal representatives may now own, hold, have or claim to have against the Releasees or any of them for, upon, or by reason of any circumstance, action, cause or thing whatsoever which arises at any time on or prior to the day and date of this Amendment, for or on account of, or in relation to, or in any way in connection with the Loan Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents or transactions thereunder or related thereto. Borrower understands, acknowledges and agrees that the release set forth above may be pleaded as a full and complete defense and may be used as a basis for an injunction against any action, suit or other proceeding which may be instituted, prosecuted or attempted in breach of the provisions of such release. Borrower agrees that no fact, event, circumstance, evidence or transaction which could now be asserted or which may hereafter be discovered shall affect in any manner the final, absolute and unconditional nature of the release set forth above.

 

(c) No Reliance. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and confirms to Lender that the Borrower is executing this Amendment on the basis of its own investigation and for its own reasons without reliance upon any agreement, representation, understanding or communication by or on behalf of any other Person.

This Amendment and the Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements with respect to such subject matter. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of this Amendment and the Loan Documents merge into this Amendment and the Loan Documents.

 

(h) Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Amendment is severable from every other provision in determining the enforceability of any provision.

 

(i) Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, is an original, and all taken together, constitute one Amendment.
