6. Fees and Expenses. Borrower shall pay to the Collateral Agent for the ratable account of the Purchasers an amendment fee (the “Amendment Fee”) in the amount of $5,513.81 per day for each day from April 1, 2019 through May 31, 2019 that any of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes or the Amended and Restated Secured Convertible Note, dated as of January 18, 2019, by and between the Borrower and HCP-FVE, LLC in the initial aggregate principal amount of $5,861,657.47 (as the same may be increased by any interest that is capitalized in accordance with the terms of such Amended and Restated Secured Convertible Note), or any other Obligations, remains outstanding. The Borrower shall pay the Amendment Fee to the Collateral Agent in cash on the sooner of (i) the sale of the Borrower; or (ii) May 31, 2019; provided, however, if an Event of Default occurs, any outstanding portion of the Amendment Fee shall be immediately due and payable. For the avoidance of doubt, if the sale of the Borrower occurred on April 30, 2019, the Amendment Fee in the amount of $165,414.30 would be due and payable on that date. The Borrower shall pay all reasonable and documented costs and expenses of the Purchasers and the Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Amendment (including attorneys’ fees). Failure to comply with the foregoing obligations by the applicable date shall result in an immediate Event of Default under the Note Purchase Agreement. The Borrower acknowledges that the Amendment Fee is in addition to the other amounts due and payable under the Fee Letter. The Purchasers and Collateral Agreement hereby agree that any reference to March 31, 2019 in the Fee Letter or the Note shall hereafter be deemed to refer to May 31, 2019.
