7.DEFAULT. I will be in default if any of the following events (known separately and collectively as an Event of Default) occur:
A.Payments. I fail to make a payment in full when due.
B.Insolvency or Bankruptcy. The death, dissolution or insolvency of, appointment of a receiver by or on behalf of, application of any debtor relief law, the assignment for the benefit of creditors by or on behalf of, the voluntary or involuntary termination of existence by, or the commencement of any proceeding under any present or future federal or state insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, composition or debtor relief law by or against me or any co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor of this Agreement or any other obligations I have with you.

F.Other Agreement s. I am in default on any other debt or agreement I have with you.

I.Forfeiture. The Property is used in a manner or for a purpose that threatens confiscation by a legal authority.
J.Name Change. I change my name or assume an additional name without notifying you before making such a change.
K.Property Transfer. I transfer all or a substantial part of my money or property.
L.Property Value. You determine in good faith that the value of the Property has declined or is impaired.
M.Material Change. Without first notifying you, there is a material change in my business, including ownership, management, and financial conditions.
N.Insecurity. You determine in good faith that a material adverse change has occurred in my financial condition from the conditions set forth in my most recent financial statement before the date of this Agreement or that the prospect for payment or performance of the Loan is impaired for any reason.

 

8.REMEDIES. After I default, you may at your option do any one or more of the following.
A.Acceleration. You may make all or any part of the amount owing by the terms of the Loan immediately due. If I am a debtor in a bankruptcy petition or in an application filed under section 5(a)(3) of the Securities Investor Protection Act, the Loan is automatically accelerated and immediately due and payable without notice or demand upon filing of the petition or application.
B.Sources. You may use any and all remedies you have under state or federal law or in any Loan Document.
C.Insurance Benefits. You may make a claim for any and all insurance benefits or refunds that may be available on my default.
D.Payments Made On My Behalf. Amounts advanced on my behalf will be immediately due and may be added to the balance owing under the terms of the Loan, and accrue interest at the highest post-maturity interest rate.
E.Termination. You may terminate my rights to obtain advances or other extensions of credit by any of the methods provided in this Agreement.
F.Set-Off. You may use the right of set-off. This means you may set-off any amount due and payable under the terms of the Loan against any right I have to receive money from you.

My right to receive money from you includes any deposit or share account balance I have with you; any money owed to me on an item presented to you or in your possession for collection or exchange; and any repurchase agreement or other non-deposit obligation. "Any amount due and payable under the terms of the Loan" means the total amount to which you are entitled to demand payment under the terms of the Loan at the time you set-off.

Subject to any other written contract, if my right to receive money from you is also owned by someone who has not agreed to pay the Loan, your right of set-off will apply to my interest in the obligation and to any other amounts I could withdraw on my sole request or endorsement.

Your right of set-off does not apply to an account or other obligation where my rights arise only in a representative capacity. It also does not apply to any Individual Retirement Account or other tax-deferred retirement account.

You will not be liable for the dishonor of any check when the dishonor occurs because you set-off against any of my accounts. I agree to hold you harmless from any such claims arising as a result of your exercise of your right of set-off.

G.Waiver. Except as otherwise required by law, by choosing any one or more of these remedies you do not give up your right to use any other remedy. You do not waive a default if you choose not to use a remedy. By electing not to use any remedy, you do not waive your right to later consider the event a default and to use any remedies if the default continues or occurs again.

 

9.COLLECTION EXPENSES AND ATTORNEYS' FEES. On or after the occurrence of an Event of Default, to the extent permitted by law, I agree to pay all expenses of collection, enforcement or protection of your rights and remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Expenses include, but are not limited to, attorneys' fees, court costs and other legal expenses. These expenses are due and payable immediately. If not paid immediately, these expenses will bear interest from the date of payment until paid in full at the highest interest rate in effect as provided for in the terms of this Loan. All fees and expenses will be secured by the Property I have granted to you, if any. In addition, to the extent permitted by the United States Bankruptcy Code, I agree to pay the reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by you to protect your rights and interests in connection with any bankruptcy proceedings initiated by or against me.

 

10.APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement is governed by the laws of Colorado, the United States of America, and to the extent required, by the laws of the jurisdiction where the Property is located, except to the extent such state laws are preempted by federal law. In the event of a dispute, the exclusive forum, venue and place of jurisdiction will be in Colorado, unless otherwise required by law.

 

11.JOINT AND INDIVIDUAL LIABILITY AND SUCCESSORS. My obligation to pay the Loan is independent of the obligation of any other person who has also agreed to pay it. You may sue me alone, or anyone else who is obligated on the Loan, or any number of us together, to collect the Loan. Extending the Loan or new obligations under the Loan, will not affect my duty under the Loan and I will still be obligated to pay the Loan. You may assign all or part of your rights or duties under this Agreement or the Loan Documents without my consent. If you assign this Agreement, all of my covenants, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or the Loan Documents will benefit your successors and assigns. I may not assign this Agreement or any of my rights under it without your prior written consent. The duties of the Loan will bind my successors and assigns.

 

12.AMENDMENT, INTEGRATION AND SEVERABILITY. This Agreement may not be amended or modified by oral agreement.

ADDENDUM TO COMMERCIAL LOAN AGREEMENT

 

 

THIS ADDENDUM TO COMMERCIAL LOAN AGREEMENT (this "Addendum") is entered into as of September 12, 2014, and made between ANB BANK, as the "Lender'', and MUSCLEPHARM, INC., a Nevada corporation, as the "Borrower", and shall be attached to and form a part of that certain Commercial Loan Agreement made of even date herewith between Lender and Borrower and governing a revolving line of credit extended by Lender to Borrower in a maximum principal amount of $8,000,000 (the "Loan Agreement"). Initially capitalized terms used but not defined in this Addendum shall have the meanings given them by the Loan Agreement, whether directly or through reference to any of the other "Loan Documents" defined therein. As part of the Loan Agreement, this Addendum shall also constitute one of the Loan Documents. In the event of any irreconcilable conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Addendum and the provisions of the Loan Agreement, the provisions of this Addendum shall be controlling, but in the absence of any such conflict or inconsistency, the provisions of this Addendum shall be cumulative with and in addition to all the te1ms and provisions of the Loan Agreement.

 

16.             ADDITIONAL COVENANTS. In addition to and cumulative with the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Agreement, Borrower further covenants and agrees for the benefit of Lender as follows (and any breach or default of the following shall constitute an Event of Default pursuant to Section 7D of the Loan Agreement):

 

A.                  If during the three-year Loan term the Loan is paid by Borrower' s refinancing with another lender, Borrower shall pay Lender a termination fee as follows:

$240,000 if the refinancing occurs during the first 12 months of the Loan term; $160,000 if the refinancing occurs during the second 12 months of the Loan term; and $80,000 if the refinancing occurs during the last 12 months of the Loan term.

 

B.                  During each calendar quarter within the Loan term, Borrower shall cause the outstanding principal balance of the Loan to be reduced and maintained below $3,000,000 for a minimum of 14 non-consecutive days.

 

C.                  The Borrower will not incur additional debt obligations during any 12-month period that in the aggregate exceed $250,000 without the prior specific written approval of the Lender, which may be withheld in the Lender's sole and absolute discretion. In addition, the Borrower shall not incur any individual debt that exceeds $100,000 without the Lender's prior specific written approval, which may be withheld in the Lender's sole and absolute discretion.

 

D.                  At all times Borrower shall maintain a market capitalization (determined by the aggregate market value from time to time of the Borrower's outstanding publicly traded stock) of at least $65 million.

 

E.                   The Borrower shall not enter into any cash transactions (i.e., requiring a cash expenditure by Borrower), other than in the ordinary course of business, which individually or in the aggregate involve cash expenditures by the Borrower in excess of $1 million, unless such cash transactions are given the Lender's specific prior written approval, which may be withheld in the Lender's sole and absolute discretion. Such prohibited cash transactions shall include, but not be limited to, the payment of cash dividends or other distributions to shareholders, officers or employees of the Borrower, asset acquisitions by the Borrower, or any repurchase of any of Borrower 's stock (none of which in any case shall be regarded as within the Borrower's ordinary course of business).

 

 
 

 

 

F.                   For each calendar quarter (or portion thereof) within the Loan term, Borrower shall maintain on deposit with Lender quarterly average collected compensating balances, as calculated by Lender in accordance with its ordinary banking practices, in excess of $1,200,000. In the event such balance is not maintained for any calendar quarter, then Borrower shall pay Lender a fee based on the difference between the compensating balance required above and the actual average collected compensating balance maintained during such quarter, and then by applying to such difference, for the entirety of such calendar quarter, the interest rate under the Loan prevailing as of the end of such calendar quarter. Such fee shall be due and payable from Borrower upon demand.

 

G.                  Borrower shall establish lock box services with the Lender for servicing the Loan within 30 days after the date of this Addendum. Borrower shall cause all of its accounts receivable, other than those in the form of automated clearing house (ACH) payments and wire transfers, to be collected and paid through the Lender's lock box. Lock box services will be documented if and as required by the Lender, which documents will be executed by Borrower upon demand. Documents and agreements made by the Borrower pursuant thereto may be treated by the Lender as part of the Loan Documents.

 

H.                  Throughout the Loan term Borrower shall maintain a debt service coverage ratio of at least 2.0: 1, with compliance with this requirement to be measured quarterly, as of the end of each calendar quarter, and pursuant to the Lender's ordinary banking practices.

 

I.                    Throughout the Loan term, Borrower shall maintain a current ratio (i.e., the ratio of Borrower's current assets to the Borrower's current liabilities) of at least 1.5:1, and working capital (i.e., Borrower's current assets) in excess of $10 million, with compliance with both of these requirements to be measured and determined quarterly, at the end of each calendar quarter, and pursuant to Lender's ordinary banking practices. Assets and liabilities that fall under "prepaid giveaways", "prepaid stock compensation", and "prepaid sponsorship fees" will be excluded from and disregarded for the requisite calculations of current assets and current liabilities.

 

J.                    Borrower covenants that there shall not occur any breach or default of any loan or debt or related obligation that Borrower owes or has to any other lender or obliged or under any agreement related thereto.

 

K.                  As part of and without limitation on Borrower's obligations under Section 5C of the Loan Agreement, Borrower shall further furnish to Lender any other information that Borrower generally provides to Borrower's stockholders or other owners or holders of equity interests in the Borrower as and when such information is furnished to those parties.

 

L.                   In addition to and cumulative with the delivery of financial statements pursuant to Section 5B of the Loan Agreement, Borrower shall also furnish Lender quarterly financial statements, for the results of operations within and as of the end of each calendar quarter (or any fractional calendar quarter) within Loan term. Such quarterly financial statements shall constitute part of the required financial deliveries under Section 5 of the Loan Agreement and will be governed by and subject to the provisions of that Section 5. Such quarterly financial statements will be provided to Lender within 45 days after the end of each applicable calendar quarter. Borrower will further furnish Lender with any additional financial statements from time to time that Lender may require.

 

M.                On a monthly basis, and within 10 days after the end of each calendar month (or fraction thereof) within the Loan term, Borrower shall provide Lender with a monthly accounts receivable aging report, accounts receivable discounts report, and a certificate of the amount of the borrowing base (as defined below), all to be made effective as of the end of the applicable calendar month. Such reports and certificates shall be regarded as part of and within the scope of the certification under Section 5A of the Loan Agreement, but also, with respect to each borrowing base certificate, its accuracy shall be expressly certified on its face, in form satisfactory to Lender, by an authorized officer of the Borrower (and each such certification shall be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty by Borrower under the Loan Agreement). Borrower will further furnish such reports and certifications concerning accounts receivable and the borrowing base as the Lender may require from time to time.


 

 
 

 

 

N.                  Borrower shall give the Lender notice of any change in the identity of any of the executive officers of the Borrower within ten (10) business days after the occurrence of such change.

 

O.                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2 of the Loan Agreement or elsewhere in the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, Lender shall not be required to make any advance under the Loan if doing so would result in the amount of principal outstanding under the Loan exceeding the borrowing base then applicable. Moreover, if at any time the principal amount exceeds the then applicable borrowing base, on demand Borrower shall repay such amount of principal as is necessary for the outstanding principal not to exceed such borrowing base. As used herein and in the other Loan Documents, "borrowing base" shall mean, at any given time, the sum of (a) 75% of the amount of Borrower's domestic accounts receivable then outstanding and incurred in good faith in the ordinary course of business, and (b) 80% of the amount of Borrower's international accounts receivable then outstanding and incurred in good faith in the ordinary course of business (subject, however, to the insurance amount limitation set forth below), excluding, however, under both clauses (a) and (b) above, (i) receivables more than 90 days old, (ii) receivables owing from any officer, director, or employee of Borrower, or any party directly or indirectly holding any stock or ownership or equity interest in Borrower (whether as a record or beneficial holder), or (iii) any other receivable that the Lender, in Lender's sole and absolute discretion, deems of doubtful collectability. The international accounts receivable borrowing base under clause (b) above will not exceed the amount of Euler Hermes insurance coverage for such receivables that Borrower has in place at the applicable time and that is on terms satisfactory to Lender.

 

P.                 Borrower agrees that at the end of each 12-month period within the Loan term, the covenants, limitations and restrictions governing the Loan will be subject to modification as determined by the Lender, and upon demand Borrower shall furnish and execute, as part of the Loan Documents, such additional documentation as Lender may require to evidence such modifications.

 

17.              INTEREST RATE CONFORMANCE. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Lender and Borrower at all times to comply with applicable law governing the highest lawful interest rate for the Loan. If applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Loan Documents, or, contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Loan, or if acceleration of the maturity of the Loan, any prepayment by Borrower, or any other circumstance whatsoever, results in Borrower having paid any charges in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is the express intent of Lender and Borrower that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Lender be credited on the principal balance of the Loan (or, if the Loan has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and that the provisions of the Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but also so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for under the Loan Documents.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower and Lender have executed this Addendum effective as of the day, month and year first above written.
