LOAN AGREEMENT

THIS LOAN AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of October 13, 2017 (the “Effective Date”) by and among SI-BONE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), and BIOPHARMA CREDIT INVESTMENTS IV SUB LP, a Cayman Islands limited partnership (“Lender”), provides the terms on which Lender shall make, and Borrower shall repay, the Credit Extensions (as hereinafter defined). The parties hereto agree as follows:

1. ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all accounting terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in conformity with Applicable Accounting Standards. Calculations and determinations must be made following Applicable Accounting Standards. No change in the accounting principles used in the preparation of any financial statement hereafter adopted by Borrower (including any change in Applicable Accounting Standards that would require leases that would be classified as operating leases under Applicable Accounting Standards on the Tranche A Closing Date to be reclassified as capital leases, it being understood and agreed by Borrower and Lender that all leases will be accounted for without giving effect to Topic 842 (Leases) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board) shall be given effect for purposes of measuring compliance with any provision of Section 5.12 or Section 6 unless Borrower and Lender agree to modify such provisions to reflect such changes in Applicable Accounting Standards and, unless such provisions are so modified, all financial statements, Compliance Certificates and similar documents provided hereunder shall be provided together with a reconciliation between the calculations and amounts set forth therein before and after giving effect to such change in Applicable Accounting Standards. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Section 13. All other terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meaning provided by the Code to the extent such terms are defined therein. All references to “Dollars” or “$” are United States Dollars, unless otherwise noted.

2. LOANS AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

2.1. Promise to Pay.

Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Lender, the outstanding principal amount of all of the Term Loans advanced to Borrower by Lender and accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any other amounts due hereunder as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.

2.2. Term Loans.

(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3):

(i) Tranche A Loan. Lender agrees to make a term loan to Borrower on the Tranche A Closing Date in the principal amount (the “Tranche A Loan Amount”) of Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000.00) (the “Tranche A Loan”); and

(ii) Tranche B Loan. At Borrower’s option, Lender agrees to make a term loan to Borrower on the Tranche B Closing Date in a principal amount equal to the Tranche B Loan Amount (the “Tranche B Loan”).

After repayment, no Term Loan may be re-borrowed.

(b) Repayment. Borrower shall make nine (9) equal quarterly payments of principal of the Term Loans commencing on the Payment Date that is the 36th-month anniversary of the Tranche A Closing Date. All unpaid principal with respect to the Term Loans (and, for the avoidance of doubt, all accrued and unpaid interest, all due and unpaid Lender Expenses and any other amounts payable under the Loan Documents) is due and payable in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date. The Term Loans may be prepaid only in accordance with Section 2.2(c), except as provided in Section 8.1.

(c) Prepayment of Term Loans.

 

1


(i) From and after the Tranche A Closing Date, Borrower shall have the option, at any time, to prepay, in whole but not in part, the Term Loans advanced by Lender under this Agreement, provided that (A) Borrower provides written notice to Lender of its election (which shall be irrevocable unless Lender otherwise consents in writing) to prepay all of the Term Loans at least five (5) Business Days prior to such prepayment, in an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount prepaid and any accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount prepaid and (B) such prepayment shall be accompanied by any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.2(e) or Section 2.2(f) (as applicable) and all other amounts payable or accrued and not yet paid under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(ii) Upon a Change of Control, Borrower shall promptly, and in any event no later than two (2) Business Days after the consummation of such Change of Control, notify Lender in writing of the occurrence of a Change of Control, which notice shall include reasonable detail as to the nature, timing and other circumstances of such Change of Control (such notice, a “Change of Control Notice”). Borrower shall prepay all of the Term Loans in full, no later than ten (10) Business Days after delivery to Lender of the Change of Control Notice, in an amount equal to (A) the sum of all unpaid principal and any accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the Term Loans, plus (B) any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.2(e) or Section 2.2(f) (as applicable) and all other amounts payable or accrued and not yet paid under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(d) Prepayment Application. Any prepayment by Borrower pursuant Section 2.2(c) shall be accompanied by, and any prepayment by Borrower pursuant to Section 6.1(o) or Section 6.17(c) shall include, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to the date of payment in full. Any prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.2(c), Section 6.1(o) or Section 6.17(c) (together with the accompanying Makewhole Amount that is payable pursuant to Section 2.2(e), if applicable, and the Prepayment Premium that is payable pursuant to Section 2.2(f)) shall be paid to Lender for application to the Obligations in the following order: (i) first, to due and unpaid Lender Expenses, (ii) second, to accrued and unpaid interest at the Default Rate, (iii) third, to accrued and unpaid interest at the non-Default Rate, (iv) fourth, to the applicable Prepayment Premium; (v) fifth, to the Makewhole Amount, if applicable, (vi) sixth, to the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and (vii) seventh, to any remaining amounts then due and payable hereunder.

(e) Makewhole Amount. Any prepayment of the Term Loans by Borrower occurring on or prior to the 30th-month anniversary of the Tranche A Closing Date (i) pursuant to Section 2.2(c), Section 6.1(o) or Section 6.17(c) or (ii) as a result of the acceleration of the Term Loan Maturity Date pursuant to Section 8.1(a) shall, in any such case, be accompanied by payment of the Makewhole Amount.

(f) Prepayment Premium. Any prepayment of the Term Loans by Borrower (i) pursuant to Section 2.2(c), Section 6.1(o) or Section 6.17(c) or (ii) as a result of the acceleration of the Term Loan Maturity Date pursuant to Section 8.1(a) shall, in any such case, be accompanied by payment of the applicable Prepayment Premium.

2.3. Payment of Interest on the Credit Extension.

(a) Interest Rate; 360 Day Year.

(i) Subject to Section 2.3(b), the principal amount outstanding under the Term Loans shall accrue interest at a fixed per annum rate equal to eleven and one-half percent (11.50%) per annum (which rate, subject to clause (b) below, shall be fixed for the duration of the Term Loans), which interest shall be payable quarterly in arrears in accordance with this Section 2.3.

(ii) Interest shall accrue on each Term Loan commencing on, and including, the day on which such Term Loan is made, and shall accrue on each Term Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which such Term Loan or such portion is paid. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed.

(b) Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (and without notice to Borrower or demand by Lender for payment thereof), the Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is five percentage points (5.00%) above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”), and such interest shall be payable entirely in cash on demand of Lender. Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.3(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Lender.

 

 

2


(c) Payments. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all loan payments by Borrower hereunder shall be made to such bank account of Lender as Lender may designate by notice from time to time to Borrower on the date specified herein. Unless otherwise provided, interest is payable quarterly on the Payment Date of each calendar quarter. Payments of principal or interest received after 2:00 p.m. on such date are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid. All payments to be made by Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document, including payments of principal and interest made hereunder and pursuant to any other Loan Document, and all fees, expenses, indemnities and reimbursements, shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim, in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds.

2.4. Expenses. Borrower shall pay to Lender, all Lender Expenses incurred through and after the Tranche A Closing Date, promptly after receipt of a written demand therefore setting forth in reasonable detail such Lender Expenses.

2.5. Requirements of Law; Increased Costs; Mitigation. In the event that any applicable Change in Law:

(a) Does or shall subject Lender to any Indemnified Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Term Loan made hereunder (except Excluded Taxes, Connection Income Taxes and Other Connection Taxes);

(b) Does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, capital requirement, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirements against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, Lender; or

(c) Does or shall impose on Lender any other condition (other than Taxes); and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender (as determined by Lender in good faith using calculation methods customary in the industry) of making, renewing or maintaining any Term Loan or to reduce any amount receivable in respect thereof or to reduce the rate of return on the capital of Lender or any Person controlling Lender,

then, in any such case, Lender shall promptly notify Borrower in writing of the event by reason of which it has incurred additional costs or has reduced amounts receivable or rate of return, and submit to Borrower a certificate as to such additional costs or has reduced amounts receivable or rate of return containing the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Lender shall first, prior to Borrower being required to take any action under this Section 2.5, take commercially reasonable actions to mitigate the additional costs or reduced amounts receivable or rate of return, including assigning all of its rights and delegating and transferring all of its obligations hereunder to an existing Affiliate of Lender that would not be subject to such, or would be subject to less, additional costs or reduced amounts receivable or rate of return, if any. Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender, subject to the terms of this Section 2.5, any undisputed additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amounts receivable or rate of return as reasonably determined by Lender with respect to this Agreement or the Term Loans made hereunder.

The provisions hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the outstanding Term Loans and all other Obligations. Failure or delay on the part of Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital under this Section 2.5 shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate Lender under this Section 2.5 with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 180 days prior to the date of the delivery of the notice required pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph; provided, further, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any

increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 180-day period.

 

3


2.6. Taxes; Withholding, etc.

(a) All sums payable by any Credit Party hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall (except to the extent required by Requirements of Law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay, and shall indemnify and hold Lender harmless from, Other Taxes, and within thirty (30) days after the date of paying such sum, Borrower shall furnish to Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(b) If any Credit Party or any other Person is required by Requirements of Law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any Tax from any sum paid or payable by any Credit Party to Lender under any of the Loan Documents: (i) Borrower shall notify Lender in writing of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement promptly after Borrower becomes aware of it; (ii) Borrower shall make any such withholding or deduction; (iii) Borrower shall pay any such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on any Credit Party) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of Lender in accordance with applicable Law; (iv) if the Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by such Credit Party in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment of Indemnified Tax is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment (including any deductions for Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.6(b)), Lender receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment of Indemnified Tax been required or made; and (v) within thirty (30) days after paying any sum from which it is required by Requirements of Law to make any deduction or withholding, and within thirty (30) days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (ii) or (iii) above to pay, Borrower shall deliver to Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other Governmental Authority. Borrower shall indemnify Lender for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.6(b)) paid by Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest and reasonable expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Any indemnification payment pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be made within thirty (30) days from written demand therefor.

(c) If Lender is organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, Lender shall deliver to Borrower two (2) copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9. If Lender is not a “United States person” (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the IRC) for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, Lender shall deliver, and shall cause each applicable assignee thereof to deliver, to Borrower, on or prior to, the Tranche A Closing Date and, the date on which a Lender Transfer occurs, as applicable, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Borrower (in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), two (2) properly completed and duly executed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI or W-8IMY (along with Form W-9, W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN for each beneficial owner that will receive, directly or indirectly, a payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Loan Documents), or any successor forms, and such other documentation required under the IRC and reasonably requested by Borrower to establish the appropriate amount of any deduction or withholding of United States federal Tax, if any, with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Loan Documents, including any such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as may be necessary for Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA. If Lender is required to deliver any forms, statements, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal Tax or backup withholding matters pursuant to this Section 2.6(c), Lender hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time, change in circumstances or law, or additional guidance by a Governmental Authority renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, to promptly deliver to Borrowers two (2) new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E W-8ECI, W-9 or W-8IMY (along with Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9, W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN for each beneficial owner for whom it expects to receive a payment), or any successor form, as

 

4


the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by Lender, and such other documentation required under the IRC and reasonably requested by Borrower to confirm or establish the extent to which Lender is or is not subject to deduction, backup withholding or withholding of United States federal Tax with respect to payments to Lender under the Loan Documents, or notify Borrowers of its inability under Requirements of Law to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence. If Lender is claiming an exemption from United States withholding Tax pursuant to the “portfolio interest exemption”, it shall provide Borrower with the applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 and a certificate as reasonably requested by Borrower certifying Lender’s entitlement thereto. Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount to Lender under Section 2.6(b)(iii) if Lender shall have failed (1) to timely deliver to Borrower the forms, certificates or other evidence referred to in this Section 2.6(c) (each of which shall be complete, accurate and duly executed), or (2) to notify Borrowers of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence, as the case may be; provided that, if Lender shall have satisfied the requirements of the first sentence of this Section 2.6(c) on the Tranche A Closing Date (or on the date such Lender initially acquires an interest in a Term Loan), nothing in this last sentence of this Section 2.6(c) shall relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.6 in the event that, solely as a result of any change in any Requirements of Law or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof by any applicable Governmental Authority, Lender is no longer legally entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that Lender is not subject to withholding as described herein and in the forms, certificates or other evidence initially provided by Lender.

(d) If any party hereto determines that it has received a refund of any Taxes or a credit or offset for any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.6 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.6), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund, credit or offset (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, under this Section 2.6 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this clause (d) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay, credit or offset such refund to such Governmental Authority and the requirement to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority is not due to the indemnified party’s failure to timely provide complete and accurate Internal Revenue Service forms and other documentation required pursuant to Section 2.6(c) or Section 2.8. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (d), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (d) if the payment of such amount would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This clause (d) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

2.7. Additional Consideration. As additional consideration for the making of the Term Loans, Borrower shall pay to Lender the following amounts (“Additional Consideration”) as follows:

(a) On the Tranche A Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount equal to the product of the Tranche A Loan Amount and 0.015.

(b) In the event the Tranche B Loan is made on the Tranche B Closing Date and in addition to the Additional Consideration payable pursuant to clause (a) above, on the Tranche B Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount equal to the product of the Tranche B Loan Amount and 0.015.

(c) The obligations of Borrower under this Section 2.7 to pay Additional Consideration shall survive any and all prepayments by Borrower.

2.8. Evidence of Debt; Register; Lender’s Books and Records; Term Loan Note.

(a) Lender’s Evidence of Debt; Register. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Borrower hereby designates Lender to serve as Borrower’s agent solely for purposes of maintaining at all times at Lender’s principal office a “book entry system” as described in IRC Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c)(1)(ii) that identifies each beneficial owner that is entitled to a payment of principal and stated interest on the Term Loan

(the “Register”) so that the Term Loan is at all times in “registered form” as described in IRC Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c). Lender is hereby authorized by Borrower to record in the manual or data processing records of Lender, the date and amount of each advance and the amount of the outstanding Obligations and the date and amount of each repayment of principal and each payment of interest or otherwise on account of the Obligations. Absent manifest error, such Lender records shall be conclusive as to the outstanding principal amount of the total outstanding Obligations, and the payment of interest, principal and other sums due hereunder; provided, however, that the failure of Lender to make any such record entry with respect to any payment shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents. The Term Loan: (i) shall, pursuant to this clause (a), be also registered as to both principal and any stated interest with Borrower or its agent, and (ii) may be transferred by Lender only by (1) surrender of the old instrument and either (x) the reissuance by Borrower of the old instrument to the new Lender or (y) the issuance by Borrower of a new instrument to the new Lender, or (2) confirmation with Borrower that the right to the principal and stated interest on the Term Loan is maintained through the book entry system kept by Lender. Lender represents that any interest that may become due and owing under this Agreement qualifies for the portfolio interest exception from withholding on interest payments pursuant to IRC Sections 871(h) and 881(c).

(b) Term Loan Notes. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender (or, if applicable, to any Person who is an assignee of Lender pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof) to evidence the Term Loans (i) on the Tranche A Closing Date, the Tranche A Note, and (ii) on the Tranche B Closing Date (if any), the Tranche B Note.

Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has any contingent liability or liability for Taxes, long-term lease (other than long-term leases entered into in the ordinary course of business) or unusual forward or long-term commitment that is not reflected in the consolidated financial statements or the notes thereto delivered to Lender pursuant to Section 3.1(m) and which in any such case is material in relation to the business, operations, properties, assets, or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower and its

 

13


Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Since the date of the most recent audited financial statements delivered to Lender pursuant to Section 3.1(m), no change in the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition or results of operations of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has occurred, and no event has occurred or failed to occur, that has had or could reasonably be expected to have, either alone or in conjunction with all other such changes, events and failures, a Material Adverse Change;

(b) Since December 31, 2016, (i) neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered into any Material Contract or has incurred any liability or obligation, direct or contingent, that, individually or in the aggregate, is material to Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, except as otherwise disclosed in Schedule 4.7(b) of the Disclosure Letter or in financial statements delivered to Lender pursuant to Section 3.1(m)(i), Section

3.1(m)(ii) or Section 5.2 and (ii) neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has sustained any loss or interference with its business that, individually or in the aggregate, is material to Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that is either from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor disturbance or dispute or any action, order or decree of any arbitrator or Governmental Authority, except as otherwise disclosed in the financial statements delivered to Lender pursuant to Section 3.1(m)(i), Section 3.1(m)(ii) or Section 5.2; and

(c) The Books of Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries contain full, true and correct entries in all material respects of all material dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities in conformity with Applicable Accounting Standards and all Requirements of Law.

4.8. Solvency. Borrower is Solvent, Borrower and its Subsidiaries that are Credit Parties, on a consolidated basis, are Solvent and Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are Solvent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, there has been no proposal made or resolution adopted by any competent corporate body for the dissolution or liquidation of any Credit Party, nor do any circumstances exist which may result in the dissolution or liquidation of any Credit Party (other than in respect of a dissolution or liquidation permitted under Section 6.3). No proposal has been made nor any resolution been adopted by any competent corporate body of any Credit Party for the statutory merger of such Credit Party with any other Person (including for any merger permitted by Section 6.3). None of the Credit Parties has (i) made a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (ii) filed any voluntary petition in bankruptcy or suffered the filing of an involuntary petition by any creditor, (iii) suffered the appointment of a receiver to take possession of all or any portion of its assets, (iv) suffered the attachment or judicial seizure of all or any portion of its assets, (v) admitted in writing its inability to pay its debts as they come due, nor (vi) made an offer of settlement, extension or composition to its creditors generally.

4.9. Payment of Taxes. All United States federal, foreign and material state, local and other Tax returns and reports (or extensions thereof) of each Credit Party and each of its Subsidiaries required to be filed by any of them have been timely filed, and all material Taxes which are due and payable by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries and all material assessments, fees and other governmental charges upon any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries and upon their respective properties, assets, income, businesses and franchises which are due and payable have been paid when due and payable except where the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings; provided that (a) the applicable Credit Party has set aside on its books adequate reserves therefor in conformity with Applicable Accounting Standards and (b) the failure to pay such Taxes, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. No Credit Party knows of any proposed Tax deficiency or assessment against it or any of its Subsidiaries which is not being actively contested by it or such Subsidiary in good faith and by appropriate proceedings; provided that such reserves or other appropriate provisions, if any, as shall be required in conformity with Applicable Accounting Standards shall have been made or provided therefor. Neither any Credit Party nor any of its Subsidiaries have executed or filed with the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority any Contract or other document extending, or having the effect of extending, the period for assessment or collection of any Taxes nor has there been any request in writing for such extension. No claim has been made by a Tax authority in a jurisdiction where any Credit Party does not pay Taxes or file Tax returns that such Credit Party is subject to Taxes assessed by such jurisdiction. No Credit Party is or will be required to include any material item of income in, or exclude any material item of deduction from, taxable income for any taxable period (or portion thereof) as a result of any intercompany transaction.

4.10. Environmental Matters. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of its or their respective Facilities or operations are subject to any outstanding written order, consent decree or settlement Contract with any Person relating to any Environmental Law, any Environmental Claim, or any Hazardous Materials Activity that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any letter or request for information under Section 104 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. § 9604) or any comparable state law. There are no, and to the Knowledge of each Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries there have been no, conditions, occurrences, or Hazardous Materials Activities which could reasonably be expected to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. To the Knowledge of each Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, no predecessor of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has filed any notice under any Environmental Law indicating past or present treatment of Hazardous Materials at any Facility, and neither Borrower’s nor any of its Subsidiaries’ operations involves the generation, transportation, treatment, storage or disposal of hazardous waste, as defined under 40 C.F.R. Parts 260 270 or any state equivalent. Compliance by Borrower and its Subsidiaries with all requirements pursuant to or under Environmental Laws which are applicable to or binding upon Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their respective properties or assets or to which Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their respective properties or assets is subject could not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. No event or condition has occurred or is occurring with respect to any Credit Party relating to any Environmental Law, any Release of Hazardous Materials, or any Hazardous Materials Activity which, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Change.

4.11. Material Contracts. Schedule 4.11 of the Disclosure Letter contains a true, correct and complete list of all of the Material Contracts in effect on the Tranche A Closing Date. After giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except as described on Schedule 4.11 of the Disclosure Letter, each Material Contract is a valid and binding obligation of the applicable Credit Party or its Subsidiaries and is in full force and effect, and neither the applicable Credit Party or Subsidiary nor, to the Knowledge of each Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, each other party thereto, is in material breach thereof or material default thereunder. Except as described on Schedule 4.11 of the Disclosure Letter with respect to the Existing Oxford Loan Agreement, no Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice from any other party thereto asserting or, to the Knowledge of each Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries threatening to assert, the cancellation, termination or invalidation of any Material Contract. Borrower has previously made available to Lender true, correct and complete copies of each Material Contract.

4.12. Regulatory Compliance. No Credit Party is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Credit Party is engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations X, T and U of the Federal Reserve Board). Each Credit Party has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Each of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and each of their respective ERISA Affiliates is in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the IRC and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder, except where such failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to result in any material liability of Borrower or its Subsidiaries or their respective ERISA Affiliates. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with any other ERISA Events, could reasonably be expected to result in material liability of Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates or the imposition of a Lien on any of the properties or assets of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $250,000 the fair market value of the property of all such underfunded Plans. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective ERISA Affiliates has any Multiemployer Plan or any obligation to contribute to a Multiemployer Plan.

4.13. Margin Stock. No Credit Party is engaged, nor will it engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” as such terms are defined in Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board as now and from time to time hereafter in effect (such securities being referred to herein as “Margin Stock”). None of the proceeds of the Credit Extensions or other extensions of credit under this Agreement will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of

 

15


purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness that was originally incurred to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or for any other purpose that might cause any of the Term Loans or other extensions of credit under this Agreement to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulations T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board. No Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries will take or permit to be taken any action that might cause any Loan Document to violate any regulation of the Federal Reserve Board.

4.14. Subsidiaries; Investments; Affiliate Transactions. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries owns any stock, partnership interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments. Set forth on Schedule 4.14 of the Disclosure Letter is a true, correct and complete list of all transactions between any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any Affiliate of any Credit Party or any owner of ten percent (10%) or more of the Equity Interests of any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any Affiliate of any such Person, on the other hand (other than (a) Transfers of Inventory in the ordinary course of business between or among any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries and (b) equity offering documents, investor rights agreements, registration rights agreements, organizational documents and similar Contracts entered into in connection with any equity financing). Except as set forth on Schedule 4.14 of the Disclosure Letter, Borrower does not own or control, directly or indirectly, any interest in any Person other than a Subsidiary and is not a participant in any joint venture, partnership or similar arrangement.

4.15. Employee Matters. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged in any unfair labor practice that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. There is (a) no unfair labor practice complaint pending against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or to the Knowledge of each Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened in writing against any of them before the National Labor Relations Board and no grievance or arbitration proceeding arising out of or under any collective bargaining agreement that is so pending against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or to the Knowledge of each Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened in writing against any of them, (b) no strike or work stoppage in existence or, to the Knowledge of each Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened in writing involving Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and (c) to the Knowledge of each Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, no union representation question existing with respect to the employees of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and, to the Knowledge of each Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, no union organization activity that is taking place that, individually or together with any other matter specified in clause (a) or (b) above or this clause (c), could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

4.16. Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Credit Extensions solely to repay in full the Indebtedness outstanding under the Existing Oxford Loan Agreement and any and all associated costs and expenses and to fund its general business requirements and not for any other purposes, including personal, family, household or agricultural purposes.

4.17. Full Disclosure. No representation or warranty of any Credit Party contained in any Loan Document or in any other documents, certificates or written statements (excluding any projections and pro forma financial information, any presentations made by Borrower and any third party agreements of Borrower) furnished to Lender by or on behalf of any Credit Party for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact (to the Knowledge of each Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, in the case of any document not furnished by it) necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein, not misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same were made. Any projections and pro forma financial information contained in such materials represent the best good faith estimates of the Credit Party furnishing such materials and are based on assumptions believed by such Credit Party to be fair and reasonable at the time made. Lender acknowledges and agrees that projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections may differ from the projected results.

4.18. FCPA; Patriot Act; OFAC.

(a) None of Borrower, its Subsidiaries or, to the Knowledge of each Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, any director, officer, agent or employee or Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower has (i) used any corporate funds of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expense relating to political activity, (ii) made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or

App. 1 et seq. Borrower will not, directly or, to the Knowledge of each Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, indirectly through an agent, use the proceeds of the Credit Extension, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person, for the purpose of financing the activities of any Person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC.

5.5. Insurance. Maintain or cause to be maintained, with financially sound and reputable insurers, such public liability insurance, third party property damage insurance, business interruption insurance and casualty insurance with respect to liabilities, losses or damage in respect of the assets, properties and businesses of Borrower and its Subsidiaries as may customarily be carried or maintained under similar circumstances by Persons of established reputation engaged in similar businesses, in each case, in such amounts, with such deductibles, covering such risks and otherwise on such terms and conditions as shall be customary for such Persons. All property policies of the Credit Parties shall have a loss payable endorsement showing Lender as loss payee and waive subrogation against Lender and shall provide that the insurer must give Lender at least twenty (20) days’ notice before canceling its policy (or ten (10) days’ notice in the case of the failure to pay any premiums thereunder). At the request of Lender, each Credit Party shall deliver to Lender copies of policies and evidence of all premium payments. All liability policies of the Credit Parties shall show, or have endorsements showing, Lender as an additional insured, and all such policies (or the loss payable and additional insured endorsements) shall provide that the insurer shall endeavor to give Lender at least twenty (20) days’ notice before canceling its policy (or ten (10) days’ notice in the case of the failure to pay any premiums thereunder). If Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries fails to obtain insurance as required under this Section 5.5 or to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons and Lender, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may make all or part of such payment or obtain such insurance policies required in this Section 5.5, and take any action under the policies Lender deems prudent. Borrower may later cancel any insurance purchased by Lender, but only after providing Lender with evidence that there has been obtained insurance as required in this Section 5.5. No payments by Lender pursuant to this Section 5.5 are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Lender’s waiver of any Default or Event of Default.

5.6. Operating Accounts. In the case of any Credit Party, not establish any new Collateral Account at or with any bank or financial institution unless contemporaneously with such establishment, such account is subject to a Control Agreement that is reasonably acceptable to Lender. For each Collateral Account that each Credit Party at any time maintains, such Credit Party shall cause the applicable bank or financial institution at or with which any Collateral Account is maintained to execute and deliver a Control Agreement or other appropriate instrument with respect to such Collateral Account to perfect Lender’s Lien in such Collateral Account in accordance with the terms hereunder, which Control Agreement may not be terminated without the prior written consent of Lender. The provisions of the previous two (2) sentences shall not apply to deposit accounts exclusively used for payroll, payroll Taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of any Credit Party’s employees, zero balance accounts, accounts (including trust accounts) used exclusively for escrow, customs, insurance or fiduciary purposes, merchant accounts, accounts used exclusively for compliance with any Requirements of Law to the extent such Requirements of Law prohibits the granting of a Lien thereon and any other deposit accounts established after the Tranche A Closing Date and then only so long as such deposit accounts do not hold in the aggregate more than $50,000 and for the first thirty (30) days following the establishment of such deposit account (all such accounts, collectively, the “Excluded Accounts”); provided that, in each case, Borrower shall identify to Lender all accounts which constitute Excluded Accounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Credit Parties shall have until the date that is ninety (90) days following the closing date of a Permitted Acquisition or other Investment permitted hereunder to comply with the provisions of this Section 5.6 with regard to accounts of the Credit Parties acquired in connection with such Permitted Acquisition or other Investment.

(b) Provide written notice to Lender within thirty (30) days of entering or becoming bound by any Restricted License (other than over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public). Each Credit Party shall take such commercially reasonable steps as Lender requests to obtain the consent of, or waiver by,

 

25


any Person whose consent or waiver is necessary for (i) any Restricted License to, without giving effect to Section 9-408 of the Code, be deemed “Collateral” and for Lender to have a security interest in it that might otherwise be restricted or prohibited by law or by the terms of any such Restricted License, whether now existing or entered into in the future, and (ii) Lender to have the ability in the event of a liquidation of any Collateral to dispose of such Collateral in accordance with Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(c) Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to: (i) use commercially reasonable efforts, at its sole expense, either directly or, indirectly with respect to any licensee or licensor under the terms of Borrower’s (or any of its Subsidiary’s) Contract with the respective licensee or licensor, as applicable, to take any and all actions (including taking legal action to specifically enforce the applicable terms of any license or Contract) and prepare, execute, deliver and file Contracts or documents which are necessary or desirable to (A) prosecute and maintain the Company IP material to its business and (B) diligently enforce or defend the Company IP against material infringement, misappropriation, violation or interference by any other Persons and, in the case of Copyrights, Trademarks and Patents within the Company IP, against any claims of invalidity or unenforceability (including by bringing any legal action for infringement, dilution, violation or defending any counterclaim of invalidity or action of a non-Affiliate third party for declaratory judgment of non-infringement or non-interference); (ii) keep Lender reasonably informed by written notice of any and all of such actions and provide Lender with the opportunity to meaningfully consult with Borrower with respect to the direction thereof and Borrower shall consider all of Lender’s comments in good faith; provided that such obligations shall be subject to any confidentiality obligations of any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any protective order binding upon any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, further, that no Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries shall be obligated to comply with this clause (ii) to the extent compliance would waive attorney-client privilege; and (iii) not, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any licensee or licensor of the Company IP, as applicable, not to, disclaim or abandon, or fail to take any action necessary or desirable to prevent the disclaimer or abandonment of the Company IP, in each case, only if such disclaimer or abandonment could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

5.8. Litigation Cooperation. From the date hereof and continuing through the termination of this Agreement, make available to Lender, without expense to Lender, each Credit Party and its officers, employees and agents and such Credit Party’s Books, to the extent that Lender may deem them reasonably necessary to prosecute or defend any third-party suit or proceeding instituted by or against Lender with respect to any Collateral or relating to such Credit Party.

5.9. Access to Collateral; Books and Records; Audits. Allow Lender, or its agents, at reasonable times during normal business hours and upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice (provided that no notice is required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to inspect the Collateral and audit and copy any Credit Party’s Books. The foregoing inspections and audits shall be at Borrower’s expense. Such inspections or audits shall be conducted no more often than once every twelve (12) months unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or such audit reveals the occurrence of an Event of Default. Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain its Books in such manner as to contain full, true and correct entries of all material dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities in conformity with Applicable Accounting Standards and all Requirements of Law.

If requested by Lender, Borrower shall complete and sign Part I of a copy of Federal Reserve Form G-3 referred to in Regulation U and deliver such copy to Lender.

For the avoidance of doubt, for any twelve-month period, if Borrower complies with either the applicable trailing twelve-month Net Sales amount or the applicable trailing twelve-month Consolidated EBITDA amount set forth above, Borrower shall be deemed to have complied with this Section 6.17(b).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7 and subject to the ultimate sentence of this Section 6.17(c), in the event that Borrower fails to comply with the covenants contained in Section 6.17(a) or (b) in respect of any applicable fiscal quarter (such covenants for such applicable periods being the “Specified Financial Covenants”) following the test for compliance therewith on the relevant date of determination, Borrower shall notify Lender in writing of such Event of Default pursuant to Section 5.2(g) and shall have the right within sixty (60) days after the end of such applicable fiscal quarter to issue additional shares of

 

38


Equity Interests in exchange for cash (the “Cure Right”), in an amount equal to the product of (i) three (3) multiplied by (ii) an amount equal to the minimum trailing twelve-month Net Sales of Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis required by the applicable Specified Financial Covenant less the actual trailing twelve-month Net Sales of Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (the “Cure Amount”). The cash proceeds from the exercise of the Cure Right shall immediately be contributed as equity to Borrower, and promptly upon the receipt thereof by Borrower, Borrower shall prepay, in whole or in part, the Term Loans advanced by Lender under this Agreement; provided that (A) Borrower provides written notice to Lender of its intention to exercise the Cure Right (the “Cure Notice”) (which may be combined with the aforementioned notice of Default and which such exercise Lender acknowledges will be conditional upon Borrower’s successful issuance of Equity Interests for cash) to prepay the Term Loans promptly upon receipt of the cash proceeds from the exercise of the Cure Right in an amount equal to the Cure Amount and (B) such prepayment shall be (1) in the event of a prepayment in part and not in whole, inclusive of any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.2(e) or Section 2.2(f) (as applicable) and any other amounts payable or accrued and not yet paid under Section 2.4 and (2) in the event of a prepayment in whole and not in part accompanied by any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.2(e) or Section 2.2(f) (as applicable) and any other amounts payable or accrued and not yet paid under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Upon delivery by Borrower to Lender of the Cure Notice and until the sixtieth (60th) day after the end of such applicable fiscal quarter, so long as no other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing during such period, Lender shall not exercise the right to accelerate the time on which the Obligations are due and payable or stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit or exercise any right to foreclose on or take possession of the Collateral under Section 8.1, in each case, solely with respect to such Event of Default having occurred under the Specified Financial Covenants; provided, however, that, if Borrower fails to remit the Cure Amount to Lender on or prior to the sixtieth (60th) day after the end of such applicable fiscal quarter, such Event of Default under the Specified Financial Covenants shall be deemed to have occurred as of such relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no cure right with respect thereto, and Lender shall have the right to exercise any and all of its rights and remedies under Section 8.1 or otherwise in respect thereof in its sole and absolute discretion. Upon receipt by Lender of the Cure Amount within such 60-day period, Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the applicable Specified Financial Covenant for the applicable fiscal quarter as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable Event of Default under the Specified Financial Covenants that had occurred shall be deemed cured without any further action of Borrower or Lender for all purposes under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have no further right to exercise the Cure Right after it has exercised the Cure Right in respect of any two (2) fiscal quarters.

(b) (i) Any material portion of any Credit Party’s assets is attached, seized, levied on, or comes into possession of a trustee or receiver, or (ii) any court order enjoins, restrains, or prevents any Credit Party from conducting any material part of its business.

7.9. Loan Documents; Collateral.

(a) Any material provision of any Loan Document shall for any reason (other than solely due to action or inaction of Lender) cease to be valid and binding on or enforceable against any Credit Party (or any Subsidiary of a Credit Party party thereto) or any Credit Party (or any such Subsidiary) shall so state in writing or bring an action to limit its obligations or liabilities thereunder.

8. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT

8.1. Rights and Remedies. Subject to Section 6.17(c) solely with respect to a violation of the Specified Financial Covenants, while an Event of Default occurs and continues, Lender may, without notice or demand:

(a) declare all Obligations (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any applicable Makewhole Amount or Prepayment Premium) immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 7.5 occurs all Obligations, including any applicable Makewhole Amount or Prepayment Premium, are automatically and immediately due and payable without any action by Lender), whereupon all Obligations for principal, interest, premium or otherwise (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any applicable Makewhole Amount or Prepayment Premium) shall become due and payable by Borrower without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, which are all expressly waived by the Credit Parties hereby;

(b) stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement;

(c) settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Lender considers advisable, notify any Person owing Borrower money of Lender’s security interest in such funds, and verify the amount of such account;

(d) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral or its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall assemble the Collateral if Lender requests and make it available as Lender designates. Lender may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Lender a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Lender’s rights or remedies;

(e) apply to the Obligations (i) any balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Lender owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;

(f) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. With respect to any and all Intellectual Property owned by any Credit Party and, to the extent such Credit Party is permitted to do so, with respect to any and all Intellectual Property licensed by a third party to any Credit Party, each Credit Party hereby grants to Lender, as of the Tranche A Closing Date, a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, such Credit Party’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks (other than any “intent-to-use” Trademarks until the earlier of the filing of a statement of use with respect thereto or the issuance of a registration therefor) and advertising matter, or any similar properties or assets as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Lender’s exercise of its rights under this Section 8.1, such Credit Party’s rights under all licenses and all franchise Contracts inure to Lender’s benefit;

(g) place a “hold” on any account maintained with Lender or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar Contracts providing control of any Collateral;

(h) demand and receive possession of Borrower’s Books; and

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

Lender agrees that, in connection with any foreclosure or other exercise of rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document with respect to the Intellectual Property, the rights of the licensees under the Permitted Licenses will not be terminated, limited or otherwise adversely affected so long as no default exists under the Permitted License in a way that would permit the licensor to terminate such Permitted License (commonly termed a non-disturbance).

 

42


8.2. Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the 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 Code permits. Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its lawful attorney-in-fact to file or record 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 not under any further obligation to make any Credit Extensions hereunder. Lender’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s 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 any Credit Extensions hereunder terminates.

8.3. [Reserved.]

8.4. Application of Payments and Proceeds upon Default. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may apply any funds in its possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations in such order as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion. After any such application, any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Lender for any deficiency. If Lender directly or indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Lender shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Lender of cash therefor.

8.5. Lender’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Lender complies with Requirements of Law regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Lender, Lender shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; or (c) any act or default of any carrier, landlord, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. In no event shall Lender have any liability for any diminution in the value of the Collateral for any reason. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

8.6. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Lender’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Lender thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the party granting the waiver and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Lender has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Lender’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude Lender from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other remedy available at law or in equity, and Lender’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Lender’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

8.7. Demand Waiver; Makewhole Amount; Prepayment Premium. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Lender on which Borrower is liable. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that if the maturity of all Obligations shall be accelerated pursuant to Section 8.1(a) by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default, any applicable Makewhole Amount or Prepayment Premium, shall become due and payable by Borrower upon such acceleration, whether such acceleration is automatic or is effected by Lender’s declaration thereof, as provided in Section 8.1(a), and Borrower shall pay any applicable Makewhole Amount or Prepayment Premium as compensation to Lender for the loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty, and Borrower waives any right to object thereto in any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding or otherwise.

10. CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER

THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL EACH BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW THAT COULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. Each of the Credit Parties and Lender submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by Requirements of Law, in such Federal court; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Lender from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Lender. Each Credit Party expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and each Credit Party hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Each Credit Party hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to such Credit Party at the address set forth in (or otherwise provided in accordance with the terms of) Section 9 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of such Credit Party’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) Business Days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE CREDIT PARTIES AND LENDER WAIVE ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. EACH OF THE CREDIT PARTIES AND LENDER (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO OTHER PARTY HERETO (AND NO AFFILIATE OF ANY OTHER PARTY AND NO DIRECTOR, OFFICER, EMPLOYEE, AGENT, TRUSTEE, REPRESENTATIVE, ATTORNEY, ACCOUNTANT, ADVISOR OR CONSULTANT OF ANY OTHER PARTY OR AFFILIATE) HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FOREGOING MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND (C) HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.

11. GENERAL PROVISIONS

So long as Borrower is not a Public Reporting Company, (1) as soon as available, but in any event (x) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017, on or before December 31, 2018 and (y) beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018, within one hundred eighty (180) days after the end of each fiscal year of Borrower, a consolidated balance sheet of Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the end of such fiscal year, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for such fiscal year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal year, with such consolidated financial statements to be audited and accompanied by (A) a report and opinion of Borrower’s independent certified public accounting firm of recognized national or regional standing (which report and opinion shall be prepared in accordance with Applicable Accounting Standards and shall not be subject to any qualification as to scope of audit, but which may be subject to a qualification as to “going concern”), stating that such financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of Borrower as of the dates and for the periods specified in accordance with Applicable Accounting Standards, and (B) (if and only if Borrower is required to comply with the internal control provisions pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requiring an attestation report of such independent certified public accounting firm) an attestation report of such independent certified public accounting firm as to Borrower’s internal controls pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 attesting that such internal controls meet the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and (2) as soon as available, but in any event within sixty (60) days after the end of each fiscal year of Borrower, beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017, an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the end of such fiscal year, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of


income, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for such fiscal year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal year. Each of the foregoing consolidated financial statements shall be certified by a Responsible Officer as, to his or her knowledge, fairly presenting, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the dates and for the periods specified in accordance with Applicable Accounting Standards consistently applied;

(b) The definition of “Tranche B Term Amount” in Section 13.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

Borrower hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower at the address set forth in (or otherwise provided in accordance with the terms of) Section 9 of the Loan Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrower’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) Business Days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.

Except as amended hereby, the Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents remain unmodified and in full force and effect.
