Loan and Security Agreement

 

Borrower:      TDG ACQUISITION COMPANY, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company

Date:     September [  ], 2020

 

 

This LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (as amended, restated, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time, this “Agreement”) is entered into as of the date set forth above (the “Effective Date”) by and between SQN VENTURE INCOME FUND II, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Lender”), and the borrower named above (“Borrower”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given them on Exhibit C. The parties agree as follows:

 

1.     Loans. Lender will make extensions of credit or other financial accommodations for Borrower’s benefit for general working capital purposes (including the Initial Term Loans as defined in Exhibit A) (collectively, the “Term Loans”). Borrower promises to pay Lender the amount of all Obligations (including all Term Loans and all other debts, principal, interest, Lender Expenses and other amounts Borrower owes Lender now or later, including interest accruing but unpaid after any insolvency proceedings begin, and debts, liabilities, or obligations of Borrower assigned to Lender) pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any Loan Document and as set forth on Exhibit A. Lender’s obligation to make any Term Loans is subject to the satisfaction by Borrower or waiver by Lender of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5 and Exhibit A herein, including, without limitation, Lender’s receipt of the agreements, documents and fees it reasonably requires.

 

2.     Security Interest. As security for all present and future Obligations and for Borrower’s performance for each of its duties hereunder, Borrower grants Lender a continuing first-priority security interest in all of Borrower's interest in the Collateral (as defined in Exhibit B).

 

3.     Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Borrower. Except as set forth on Exhibit D attached hereto, Borrower represents, warrants and covenants to Lender as follows, as of the Effective Date, and with respect to covenants, for so long as this Agreement is in effect or any Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification or reimbursement obligations or other obligations which, by their terms, survive termination of this Agreement) remain outstanding:

 

3.1       Existence; Authority. Each of Borrower and its Subsidiaries is and will continue to be, duly existing and in good standing in its state of formation or organization and qualified and licensed to do business in, and in good standing in, any state where such qualification or licensing is necessary, except for jurisdictions in which failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Change on Borrower or such Subsidiary (as applicable). The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents have been duly and validly authorized and do not (i) conflict with Borrower’s formation documents (ii) constitute an Event of Default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound or (iii) conflict with or violate any applicable law or regulation by which Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their property or assets may be bound or affected.

 

3.2       Collateral. Lender has and will at all times continue to have a first-priority perfected security interest in all of the Collateral except for Permitted Liens. Borrower has, and will continue to have, good title to the Collateral, free of any liens except Permitted Liens. Borrower will promptly advise Lender in writing of any material loss or damage to the Collateral. If, at any time, Borrower has knowledge that it shall have acquired a commercial tort claim, Borrower shall promptly provide written notice thereof to Lender and grant to Lender in writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof. All Collateral consisting of tangible property is located at (i) the location set forth on the signature page hereof or (ii) such other locations as to which Borrower has given Lender prior written notice and as to which Borrower has delivered to Lender a duly executed Landlord Waiver, Bailee Agreement, Equipment Holder Acknowledgement or similar collateral access agreement.

 

 

3.3       Financial Matters. All financial statements (including notes and schedules) now or in the future delivered to Lender, (i) have presented, and will present, fairly in all material respects Borrower’s financial condition and its results of operations, and (ii) have been, and will be, prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Except as disclosed to the Lender, since the last date covered by any such statement, there has been no material impairment in the financial condition or business of Borrower. Borrower will provide Lender with all financial reports as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, as well as any other financial information reasonably requested by Lender from time to time, including budgets, projections and plans.

 

3.4       Statement of Borrower’s Information. All of Borrower’s information set forth on Exhibit D is true and correct as of the Effective Date, and Borrower shall provide written notice to Lender of any material changes within the prescribed periods of time set forth therein.

 

3.5       Taxes; Legal Compliance. Borrower has filed, and will file, when due, all federal and state and all other material tax returns and reports required by applicable law. Borrower has paid, and will pay when due, all taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions now or in the future owed (except for taxes and assessments being contested in good faith with adequate reserves under GAAP). Borrower has complied, and will comply, in all material respects, with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.

 

3.6       Insurance. Borrower shall at all times insure all of the tangible personal property Collateral and carry such other business insurance as is customary for companies similarly situated to Borrower. All property policies will have a lender’s loss payable endorsement showing Lender as a lender loss payee and all liability policies will show Lender as an additional insured and provide that the insurer must give Lender at least twenty days’ notice before canceling its policy.

 

3.7       Access. Upon three (3) Business Day’s prior notice, Lender or its agents shall have the right to inspect the Collateral and to audit and copy Borrower's books and records during Borrower’s regular business hours. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall not be required to provide written notice to Borrower of any inspection or audit. The parties acknowledge that the Lender is intended to qualify as a “venture capital operating company” as defined in Department of Labor Regulation 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101 (the “Plan Assets Regulation”) and the Lender’s investment in Borrower is intended to be a qualifying “venture capital investment” for purposes of the VCOC 50% assets test under the Plan Assets Regulation.  The Lender’s rights set forth in this Section 3.7 are intended to satisfy the “management right” requirement under the Plan Assets Regulation.  If at any time these rights are reasonably deemed insufficient by the Lender to enable the Lender to qualify as a VCOC, whether due to a change in the governing law or regulations or otherwise, Borrower and the Lender agree to reasonably cooperate in good faith to agree upon mutually satisfactory management rights that will satisfy the requirements for VCOC qualification for the Lender.

 

3.8       Solvency. The fair salable value of Borrower’s consolidated assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of Borrower’s liabilities; Borrower is not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature.

 

3.9       Additional Agreements. Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, without Lender's prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), do any of the following: (i) convey, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of (“Transfer”) any of its property other than Permitted Transfers; (ii) engage in any business other than the business currently engaged in by Borrower or reasonably related thereto; (iii) fail to provide notice to Lender of any Key Person departing from or ceasing to be employed by Borrower within five (5) Business Days after his or her departure from Borrower; (iv) permit or suffer to exist a change in its ownership existing as of the Effective Date in excess of the Ownership Threshold, except for the sale of capital stock to venture or private equity investors in a bona fide equity financing, provided that Lender receives at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of such sale, such investors are reasonably acceptable to Lender and such sale does not otherwise result in an Event of Default; (v) create any new Subsidiary or merge or consolidate with any party, or acquire all or substantially all of the capital stock or assets of another party; (vi) incur or become liable for any indebtedness other than Permitted Indebtedness and/or prepay any indebtedness (other than trade payables); (vii) assign or convey any rights to income or incur or allow any lien, security interest or other encumbrance on any of its property other than Permitted Liens; (viii) make any investments except for Permitted Investments; (ix) other than tax distributions, pay or declare any cash dividends on Borrower's stock; (x) redeem, retire, purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of Borrower's stock other than stock repurchased in connection with the termination of employment or service as a consultant or director; (xi) directly or indirectly enter into any material transaction with any affiliate except in the ordinary course of business upon reasonable terms no less favorable than those in an arm’s-length transaction with a non-affiliate and/or Subordinated Debt financings with Borrower’s existing investors; (xii) make any payment on, or materially change any term relating to, any indebtedness which is subordinated to any indebtedness owed to Lender by Borrower; or (xiii) maintain any depository, operating or investment accounts unless such accounts are subject to account control agreements in favor of Lender. Borrower shall not, without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender, relocate its principal offices from Borrower’s address set forth on the signature page hereof or change its state of formation or name. Borrower shall take or authorize any further actions (including Lender’s filing of financing statements to perfect Lender’s security interest in the Collateral) and execute any further instruments as Lender reasonably requests to perfect or continue Lender’s security interests or to affect the purposes of this Agreement.

 

 

3.10     Full Disclosure. No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Lender, in the aggregate, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statement contained in such certificates or statements not misleading.

 

3.11     Minimum Cash. Borrower shall maintain a minimum cash balance of a minimum of six (6) months of liquidity based on trailing three month aggregate cash burn; provided that, Lender may waive the requirements of this Section 3.11, in its sole discretion, to provide Borrower with one-time working capital needs to fulfill purchase orders with less than sixty (60) days of payment inclusive of receivables.¹

 

4.     Term. This Agreement shall continue in effect until the later of (i) the maturity date set forth in Exhibit A (the “Maturity Date”) or (ii) the date all Obligations are indefeasibly repaid in full. On the Maturity Date or on any earlier effective date of termination of this Agreement, Borrower shall pay in cash all Obligations in full, whether or not such Obligations are otherwise then due and payable. No termination shall in any way affect or impair any security interest or other right or remedy of Lender, nor shall any such termination relieve Borrower of any obligation to Lender, until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full.

 

5.     Conditions Precedent.

 

5.1       Conditions Precedent to the Initial Term Loan. The obligation of Lender to make its Initial Term Loans hereunder is, in addition to the conditions precedent specified in Section 5.2 hereof and on Exhibit A, subject to the fulfillment of the following conditions and to the receipt by Lender of the documents described below, duly executed and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and its counsel: (i) a Corporate Borrowing Certificate, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, duly executed and delivered by a Responsible Officer of Borrower, together with (a) copies of the organizational and charter documents of Borrower (e.g., Articles or Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws), as amended through the Effective Date and (b) a copy of the resolutions of the Board of Directors of Borrower authorizing the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents; (ii) original counterparts of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Warrant, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E), with all schedules completed and attached thereto, and disclosing such information as is reasonably acceptable to Lender; (iii) UCC lien, judgment, bankruptcy and tax lien searches of Borrower from such jurisdictions or offices as Lender may reasonably request, all as of a date reasonably satisfactory to Lender and its counsel; (iv) a certificate of status or good standing of Borrower as of a date acceptable to Lender from the jurisdiction of Borrower’s organization and any foreign jurisdictions where Borrower is qualified to do business and the failure to be so qualified could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change; (v) insurance certificates showing Lender as loss payee or additional insured on Borrower’s commercial general liability and business personal property insurance policies; (vi) filing copies (or other evidence of filing satisfactory to Lender and its counsel) of such UCC financing statements, collateral assignments, account control agreements, and termination statements, with respect to the Collateral as Lender shall reasonably request; (vii)

7.     Rights and Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and continues, Lender may, without notice or demand do any or all of the following: (i) accelerate and declare all or any portion of the Term Loans and other Obligations to be immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Sections 6(xii) or 6(xiii) occurs, all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Lender); (ii) stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or any other agreement between Borrower and Lender; (iii) settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, on terms and in any order that Lender considers advisable; (iv) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral (and Borrower will reasonably cooperate with Lender accordingly); (v) apply to the Obligations any balances and deposits of Borrower that Lender holds or any amount held by Lender owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower; (vi) increase the then-existing interest rate by an additional five percent (5.00%) per annum; (vii) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale and sell or otherwise dispose the Collateral; (viii) place a “hold” on any account maintained with Lender and deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any control agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral; and/or (ix) exercise any other rights and remedies permitted by applicable law.

Lender’s appointment as Borrower's attorney in fact, and all of Lender's rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed. All of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or any other agreement between Lender and Borrower are cumulative. 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.

Initial Term Loan:	On the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as all conditions precedent to the making thereof have been met, Lender shall make one (1) term loan to Borrower in the aggregate principal amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) (the “Initial Term Loans”) according to Lender’s term loan commitment (the “Initial Term Loan Commitment”) as set forth above. Once repaid, the Initial Term Loan may not be re-borrowed.
Optional Reserve:	On or after the Effective Date, Borrower may request additional Term Loans from the Lender in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Optional Reserve”); provided, however, that the availability for the Borrower to draw such Optional Reserve Term Loans shall not extend past December 31, 2020. Lender may, in its sole discretion, grant or deny Borrower’s request (if any) to draw the Optional Reserve based on, among other things, Lender’s review of Borrower’s creditworthiness and Borrower and Lender’s execution of an amendment to this Agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Lender in its sole discretion.
Maturity Date:	[             ], 202[  ]2
Interest:	The Initial Term Loan accrues interest on the outstanding principal balance at a fixed rate per annum of twelve and one half percent (12.50%).  Interest is computed on a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

Interest-Only Period:	The period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on [__________]3, 2021; provided, however, if the Borrower achieves the Interest-Only Extension Milestone, the Interest-Only Period shall automatically, with no further action required by the parties hereto, be extended through [          ], 20214.
Repayment:	The Initial Term Loan shall be payable as follows:
	If the Funding Date of the Initial Term Loans is not the first day of the month, Borrower shall pay Lender all interest, in advance, on the outstanding principal balance of the Initial Term Loans for the period from the Funding Date through the last day of the same month.

	During the Interest Only Period, beginning on the first day of the month following the Funding Date of the Initial Term Loans, interest shall be payable in advance from Borrower to Lender on the first day of each month.
	Commencing on the first day of the first full month immediately following the end of the Interest Only Period, and continuing on the first day of each consecutive month thereafter, Borrower shall make thirty (30) equal payments of principal and interest in advance on the Initial Term Loans to Lender; provided, however, if the Interest-Only Extension Milestone is achieved, the Borrower shall make twenty four (24) equal payments of principal and interest in advance on the Initial Term Loans to Lender.
	On the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay Lender all outstanding principal, all accrued unpaid interest related to the Initial Term Loans, the Final Payment, and all other sums, including Lender Expenses, if any, that shall have become due and payable.
Voluntary Prepayment:	Borrower shall have the option to prepay all Term Loans in full, provided Borrower (i) shall provide written notice to Lender of its election to prepay the Term Loans at least ten (10) days prior to such prepayment and (ii) pays, on the date of such prepayment, (a) all outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest, plus (b) all other sums, including Lender Expenses, if any, that shall have become due and payable. In addition to the payment of the outstanding principal amount, accrued and unpaid interest, fees and other Obligations due and payable at any time, not as a penalty, but in consideration for Lender providing the Term Loans and other benefits granted by Lender to Borrower hereunder, upon any repayment in full of the Obligations from at any time, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender and Lender shall be entitled to receive payment of an additional sum sufficient to provide Lender with a minimum return on the Obligations (including all amounts funded by Lender from time to time) equal to 1.5x of all funded Term Loans made pursuant to this Agreement (the “Minimum Return Amount”).  For the avoidance of doubt, in determining the Minimum Return Amount received by the Lender, all payments of principal and interest shall be included in the calculation for determining whether the Minimum Return Amount shall have been achieved.
Mandatory Prepayment:	If the Term Loans are accelerated following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall immediately pay to Lender an amount equal to the sum of (i) all outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest, plus (ii) all other sums, including Lender Expenses, if any, that shall have become due and payable.
Application of Payments:	Payments received after 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) 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 interest shall accrue.
LIMITATION TO LENDER ’S OBLIGATIONS
Limitation:	Lender’s obligation to lend the undisbursed portion of the Total Commitment will terminate if Lender determines, in the exercise of its good faith business judgment, that a Material Adverse Change has occurred or it is the clear intention of Borrower’s investors in the aggregate to not continue to fund Borrower in the amounts and timeframe necessary to enable Borrower to satisfy its Obligations, as they become due and payable.

 

 

FEES
Facility Fee:	Borrower will pay on the Effective Date a fully earned, non-refundable facility fee of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000).

FORM OF PROMISSORY NOTE

 

[Note No. X-XXX]

 

$____________________

[DATE]

San Francisco, California

 

The undersigned (“Borrower”) promises to pay to the order of SQN VENTURE INCOME FUND II, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Lender”), at its office at 100 Arboretum Drive, Suite 105, Portsmouth, New Hampshire 03801, or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum of ______________________________ Dollars ($__________), with interest thereon from the date hereof until maturity, whether scheduled or accelerated, at a fixed rate per annum of twelve and one half percent (12.50%) (the “Designated Rate”), according to the payment schedule described herein, except as otherwise provided herein.

 

This Note is one of the Promissory Notes referred to in, and is entitled to all the benefits of, a Loan and Security Agreement dated as of September [ ], 2020, between Borrower and Lender (as amended, restated or supplemented from time to time, the “Agreement”). Each capitalized term not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement. The Agreement contains provisions for the acceleration of the maturity of this Note upon the happening of certain stated events.

 

Principal of and interest on this Note shall be payable as follows:

 

On the Funding Date, Borrower shall pay [if the Funding Date is not the first day of the month,] interest only at a rate of [____]% per month, in advance, on the outstanding principal balance of this Note for the period from the Funding Date through [the last day of the same month] in the amount of _______________________ Dollars ($__________).

 

Commencing on [the first day of the first full month after the Funding Date], and continuing on the first day of each consecutive month thereafter until the first day of the last month of the Interest-Only Period, interest only at the Designated Rate shall be payable, in advance, in [________ (__)] equal consecutive monthly installments of ______________________________ Dollars ($__________) each.

 

Commencing on [the first day of the month after the Interest-Only Period], and continuing on the first day of each consecutive month thereafter, principal and interest at the Designated Rate shall be payable, in advance, in equal consecutive monthly installments of ______________________________ Dollars ($__________) each.

 

The Final Payment and any unpaid expenses, fees, interest and principal shall be due and payable on [the same date as the last amortized payment].

 

This Note may be prepaid only as permitted in the Agreement.

 

Any unpaid payments of principal or interest on this Note shall bear interest from their respective maturities, whether scheduled or accelerated, at a rate per annum equal to the five percent (5%) above the Designated Rate. Borrower shall pay such interest on demand.

 

Interest, charges and fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, which results in higher interest, charge or fee payments than if a 365-day year were used. In no event shall Borrower be obligated to pay interest, charges or fees at a rate in excess of the highest rate permitted by applicable law from time to time in effect.

 

 

If Borrower is late in making any payment under this Note by more than five (5) Business Days, Borrower agrees to pay a “late charge” of five percent (5%) of the installment due, but not less than fifty dollars ($50) for any one such delinquent payment. This late charge may be charged by Lender for the purpose of defraying the expenses incidental to the handling of such delinquent amounts. Borrower acknowledges that such late charge represents a reasonable sum considering all of the circumstances existing on the date of this Note and represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that will be sustained by Lender due to the failure of Borrower to make timely payments. Borrower further agrees that proof of actual damages would be costly and inconvenient. Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to the right of Lender to collect any other amounts provided to be paid or to declare a default under this Note or any of the other Loan Documents or from exercising any other rights and remedies of Lender.

 

This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without reference to its conflict of laws principles.
