Section 1.1.         LOAN.

 

(a)           Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lenders hereby agree to make, ratably according to their respective loan percentages set forth on Schedule 1.1 hereto (on a several and not joint basis), a loan to Borrower on the Closing Date (as defined below), in an aggregate principal amount of Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000.00) (the “Loan”), the proceeds of which shall be used to finance Borrower’s working capital requirements and general corporate purposes.

 

(b)         Repayment; Mandatory Prepayments.

 

(i)

Following the first anniversary of the date hereof, Borrower may partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings hereunder subject to concurrent payment of any applicable Prepayment Premium, calculated on the amount prepaid. For purposes of the foregoing, “Prepayment Premium” shall mean (a) 6.00% on any date during the second year following the date hereof, (b) 4.00% on any date during the third year following the date hereof, (c) 2.00% on any date during the fourth year following the date hereof and (d) thereafter, 0%. The remaining outstanding principal amount of the Loan shall be repaid in full on the fifth anniversary of the date hereof (the “Maturity Date”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event that Borrower desires to prepay the Loan on or prior to the first anniversary of the date hereof, such prepayment shall be permitted subject to the concurrent payment of the applicable Make-Whole Amount (as defined below).

 

“Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any prepayment of the Loan pursuant to the terms of this Agreement at any time during the first year following the date hereof, an amount equal to the sum of (a) the present value (discounted at a rate per annum equal to the rate on five-year U.S. treasury bills at the time of prepayment as reasonably selected by Lenders plus 50 basis points) of the interest that would have accrued through the first anniversary of the date hereof as though the full amount of the Loans had been funded on the Closing Date and had remained outstanding during such one-year period plus (b) a prepayment premium equal to 6% of the amount prepaid.

 

 

(ii)

In addition, subject to customary obligations to repay other debt permitted hereunder, within five (5) business days following receipt of Net Proceeds (as defined below), Borrower shall make an offer to Lenders to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loan by such amount. Lenders shall thereafter accept or reject such offer within three (3) business days, and such payment shall, if accepted, be made within one (1) business day following such acceptance.

 

For purposes of the foregoing, “Net Proceeds” means, without duplication: (v) (A) in the case of any sale, lease, transfer or otherwise disposition or conveyance of any asset of Borrower not permitted by Section 5.4, 100% of the net cash proceeds received by or on behalf of Borrower from such sale, lease, transfer or other disposition or conveyance and (B) 100% of any cash payments received by or on behalf of, or paid to or for the account of, Borrower (other than in the ordinary course of business), in connection with insurance payments, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), that have not been reinvested by Borrower within twelve (12) months to purchase assets used or useful in the business of Borrower; provided that the amounts set forth in this clause (v) shall not constitute “Net Proceeds” until the aggregate amount of such net cash proceeds, for all sales, leases, transfers or other dispositions or conveyances and all insurance payments (taken as a whole) have exceed $500,000.00, (w) 100% of the net cash proceeds received by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with any incurrence of indebtedness that is not permitted to be incurred pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (x) 100% of any cash payments received by or on behalf of, or paid to or for the account of, Borrower (other than in the ordinary course of business), in connection with condemnation events, judgments, litigation settlements and indemnity payments, (y) 100% of the net cash proceeds received by or on behalf of Borrower as a result of Borrower’s issuance or sale of its stock and (z) 100% of any indemnification payments made to Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement.

 

(c)         Change of Control Premium. In the event that all, or any portion, of the Loans is repaid (whether voluntarily, mandatorily, as a result of acceleration, or otherwise) (i) upon the occurrence of a Change of Control during the first year after the date hereof, Borrower shall pay a fee to Lenders, ratably in accordance with their respective commitment percentages set forth on Schedule 1.1 hereto, equal to the amount of interest that would have accrued through the first anniversary of the date hereof as though the full amount of the Loans had been funded on the Closing Date and had remained outstanding during such one-year period or (ii) upon the occurrence of a Change of Control at any time after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, such repayment (whether voluntary, mandatory, as a result of acceleration, or otherwise) shall be subject to the applicable Prepayment Premium set forth in 1.1(b)(i) above.

 

 

Section 1.2.         INTEREST.

 

(a)         Interest. The outstanding principal balance of the Loans shall bear interest at the rate of interest of 12.0% per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed). At the election of Borrower prior to the Maturity Date (it being understood that, if Borrower does not pay such interest in cash on the applicable Interest Payment Date (as defined below), Borrower shall be deemed to have made such election for such Interest Payment Date), interest in excess of 5.0% per annum may, in lieu of being paid in cash, be capitalized and added to the principal amount of the Loan (ratably owing to Lenders based on their respective loan percentages as set forth on Schedule 1.1 hereto). Interest shall accrue and be payable on the last business day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on June 29, 2018, (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) and on the Maturity Date.

 

(b)         Default Interest. From and after the Maturity Date, or such earlier date as all principal owing hereunder becomes due and payable by acceleration or otherwise, or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, then, the outstanding principal amount of the Loan shall bear interest at an increased rate per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) equal to four percent (4.0%) above the rate of interest from time to time otherwise applicable to the Loan, which increase shall take effect automatically and without further action (of the Lenders or otherwise).

Exhibit A

 

[Form of]

 

PARENT GUARANTY

 

For value received, PURPLE INNOVATION, INC. (“Guarantor”), a corporation duly organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, hereby unconditionally guarantees the prompt and complete payment in cash when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations and liabilities (the “Guaranteed Obligations”), whether now in existence or hereafter arising, of PURPLE INNOVATION, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (“Borrower”) to Lenders (as defined below) under and arising out of or under that certain Credit Agreement, among Borrower, COLISEUM CAPITAL PARTNERS, L.P. (“CCP”), BLACKWELL PARTNERS LLC – SERIES A (“Blackwell”) and COLISEUM CO-INVEST DEBT FUND, L.P. (and together with CCP and Blackwell, and their respective successors and assigns, “Lenders”) dated as of the date hereof according to the terms thereof (as in effect on the date hereof, and as otherwise amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms used in this Guaranty but not defined in this Guaranty shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement. This Guaranty is one of payment and not of collection.

 

Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and notice of any obligation or liability to which it may apply, and waives presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of dishonor or non-payment of any such obligation or liability, suit or the taking of other action by any Lender against, and any other notice to, Borrower, Guarantor or others.

 

Lenders may at any time and from time to time without notice to or consent of Guarantor and without impairing or releasing the obligations of Guarantor hereunder: (1) agree with Borrower to make any change in the terms of any obligation or liability of Borrower to Lenders, (2) take or fail to take any action of any kind in respect of any security for any obligation or liability of Borrower to Lenders, (3) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against Borrower or others, or (4) compromise or subordinate any obligation or liability of Borrower to Lenders including any security therefor. Any other suretyship defenses (other than irrevocable payment in full) are hereby waived by Guarantor.

 

This Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect until the Guaranteed Obligations are satisfied, defeased, discharged or otherwise terminated, and automatically, upon such satisfaction, defeasement, discharge or termination, without any action by any person, the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall automatically terminate. It is understood and agreed, however, that notwithstanding any such termination this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the obligations and liabilities set forth above which shall have been incurred prior to such termination.

 

 

Guarantor may not assign its rights nor delegate its obligations under this Guaranty, in whole or in part, without prior written consent of Lenders, and any purported assignment or delegation absent such consent is void, except for an assignment and delegation of all of Guarantor’s rights and obligations hereunder in whatever form Guarantor determines may be appropriate to a partnership, corporation, trust or other organization in whatever form that succeeds to all or substantially all of Guarantor’s assets and business and that assumes such obligations by contract, operation of law or otherwise. Upon any such delegation and assumption of obligations, Guarantor shall be relieved of and fully discharged from all obligations hereunder, whether such obligations arose before or after such delegation and assumption.

 

Guarantor hereby represents as follows:

 

(a)

Guarantor is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Guaranty.

 

(b)

The execution and delivery of this Guaranty have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of Guarantor’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws, as amended to date, or any law, regulation, decree, order, judgment, resolution or any contractual restriction binding on Guarantor or its assets that could affect, in a materially adverse manner, the ability of Guarantor to perform any of its obligations hereunder.

 

(c)

All consents, licenses, clearances, authorizations, and approvals of, and registration and declarations with, any governmental or regulatory authority necessary for the due execution and delivery of this Guaranty have been obtained and remain in full force and effect and all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental or regulatory authority is required in connection with the execution or delivery of this Guaranty.

 

(d)

This Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with all of its terms and conditions (subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar law affecting creditors’ rights generally). The enforceability of Guarantor’s obligations is also subject to the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

 

THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW. GUARANTOR AGREES TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, OVER ANY DISPUTES ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY.
