The Borrower acknowledges that failure to deliver the Quarterly Financial Statements or the Annual Financial Statements by June 30, 2021 shall constitute a Default pursuant to Section 11.01(d) of the Credit Agreement.
Section 1.03. Amendment to Credit Agreement. Effective as of the Effective Date, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
(a) Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is amended so that the definitions of Public Offering and Qualified IPO are each amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
Public Offering means, with respect to any Person, (i) any sale of Equity Interests of such Person pursuant to an offering that is underwritten on a firm commitment basis by a nationally recognized investment banking firm or (ii) the consummation of a SPAC Transaction, in each case, as a result of which, such Person becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15 of the Exchange Act immediately following such offering.
Qualified IPO means (i) an initial Public Offering by the Borrower of Equity Interests having ordinary voting rights (or equivalent) or (ii) a SPAC Transaction which (x) in each case results in such Equity Interests being listed on either the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ National Market and (y) in the case of an initial Public Offering, results in the receipt by the Borrower of gross proceeds from such offering that equal or exceed $50,000,000.
(b) Section 1.10 of the Credit Agreement is amended by adding a new definition of SPAC Transaction in the appropriate alphabetical order:
SPAC Transaction means a transaction that results in (i) the Acquisition of the Borrower, directly or indirectly, by another Person (x) that is (or is under common Control with) a special purpose acquisition company (or equivalent) and (y) that is (or such commonly Controlled Person is) subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act (such Person or such commonly Controlled Person, as the case may be, being herein collectively referred to as a SPAC), and (ii) the common Equity Interests of the Borrower or the SPAC being listed on the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ National Market.
(c) Section 10.03 of the Credit Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
10.03 Required Equity Raise. On or prior to December 31, 2020, the Borrower shall have consummated the issuance and sale of its Series D preferred stock resulting in gross proceeds to the Borrower of at least $50,000,000. In addition to the Equity Interest issuance and sale described in the immediately preceding sentence, on or prior to December 31, 2021, the Borrower shall have consummated the issuance and sale of its Qualified Equity Interests (including through a Public Offering) resulting in gross proceeds to the Borrower of at least $100,000,000. Promptly after the consummation of any such issuance and sale, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, (x) true and complete copies of all agreements (including amendments to Organic Documents) entered into in connection therewith, (y) evidence that the Borrower has consummated such issuance and sale pursuant to such agreements, and (z) evidence that all necessary corporate actions, including approval by the Borrowers Board and by all necessary holders of Equity Interests, have been obtained in connection with the foregoing clauses (x) and (y), in each case, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
Section 1.04. SPAC Transaction and Conditional Exercise of Warrant Certificates. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that in the event the Borrower enters into a business combination agreement to consummate a SPAC Transaction (as defined in the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby), the holder(s) of the Warrant Certificates issued in connection with the Credit Agreement shall elect to conditionally exercise such Warrant Certificates, as permitted pursuant to Section 3(i) thereof, thereby making such exercise conditional upon the completion and consummation of the SPAC Transaction (such a conditional exercise is herein referred to as a SPAC Conditional Exercise). The Borrower further agrees that, in connection with any such SPAC Conditional Exercise, and as permitted pursuant to Section 3(b) of the Warrant Certificates, such holder(s) may elect to pay all or a portion of the Aggregate Exercise Price associated with such exercise by way of the Cashless Exercise method. In the event any holder elects to use such Cashless Exercise method in connection with a SPAC Conditional Exercise, the Borrower further covenants and agrees that, any term or provision of any Warrant Certificate to the contrary notwithstanding, for purposes of determining the number of Warrant Shares to be withheld by the Company (pursuant to Section 3(b)(ii) of the Warrant Certificates) as payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, per share Fair Market Value of Warrant Shares (after giving effect to all issuances, conversions, exchanges, stock splits and other adjustments of Equity Interests required to be made pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Certificates, the Series C Preferred Stock and the terms of the SPAC Transaction on or before the Exercise Date) shall be deemed to be the Announcement Date Price (defined below), notwithstanding that the Exercise Date for the SPAC Conditional Exercise shall be the date of completion and consummation of the SPAC Transaction. Announcement Date Price means the closing per share trading price of the SPAC Shares (defined below) on the date the SPAC Transaction is publicly announced by the Borrower or the SPAC (as defined in the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby), without regard to the VWAP; provided that if such date of announcement is not a trading day on the SPACs Trading Market then the Announcement Date Price shall be the closing per share trading price of the SPAC Shares on the next occurring trading day. SPAC Shares means the common Equity Interests of the SPAC that are listed on either the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ National Market. The Borrower further agrees that, in connection with a SPAC Conditional Exercise, it shall file (or cause to be filed) in connection with such transaction a registration statement with the SEC on Form S-3 (or, if the Person required to make SEC-related filings in connection with the SPAC Transaction is ineligible to use such form, such form of registration statement that such Person is eligible to use) for the registration of the resale of the Warrant Shares (or other Equity Interests into which the Warrant Shares are converted, exchanged or otherwise substituted) issued to the Holder pursuant to such SPAC Conditional Exercise (the Resale Registration Statement) no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the consummation of such SPAC Transaction and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Resale Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing. The Borrower further agrees to maintain (or cause the maintenance of) the effectiveness of such Resale Registration Statement for at least one year from the date of consummation of such SPAC Transaction.
Section 1.05. No Other Waivers, Amendments or other Modifications Implied or Intended. Any term or provision hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, the waivers, amendments and other modification contemplated hereby relate solely to the specific sections or provisions of the Credit Agreement and the Warrant Certificates expressly referenced herein and relate solely to the periods or transactions expressly referenced herein, and no other or additional waiver, amendment or other modification is made, implied or intended to be made with respect to any other term or provision of any Loan Document, or any Obligation of any Obligor or any rights or remedies of any Secured Party under any Loan Document (including rights of any holder of a Warrant Certificate pursuant to Section 10 thereof), whether now existing or occurring in the future (including any future Default with respect to the Minimum Revenue Covenant or the covenants set forth in Section 8.01(b) and (c) of the Credit Agreement), including, but not limited to, the right to declare all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and other Obligations to be immediately due and payable, imposing a default rate of interest in respect of the Obligations in accordance with Section 3.02(b) of the Credit Agreement or pursuing any or all other rights and remedies available to any Secured Party as a secured party under the UCC, the Security Documents or any other Loan Document.
