BACKGROUND

A.Pursuant to the terms of a certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated April 18, 2019, by and among Lender and Borrower (as the same has been or may be supplemented, restated, superseded, amended or replaced from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), Lender made available to Borrower, inter alia, (a) a revolving line of credit not to exceed Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) and (b) a term loan in the original principal amount of Five Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($5,250,000) (collectively, the “Loan”). All capitalized terms used herein without further definition shall have the respective meaning set forth in the Loan Agreement and all other Loan Documents, and this Amendment shall be deemed to be a Loan Document.

B.The Loan is secured by, inter alia, continuing perfected security interests in the Collateral.

C.Borrower has requested that Lender modify, in certain respects, the terms of the Loan Agreement, and Lender has agreed to such modifications in accordance with and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions hereof.

NOW, THEREFORE, with the foregoing Background incorporated by reference and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

1.Section 1 of the Loan Agreement shall be amended by deleting the definitions of Revolving Credit Maturity Date and Term Loan Maturity Date and replacing each as follows:

Revolving Credit Maturity Date – April 30, 2020, or such later date as Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, designate in writing to Borrower.

Term Loan Maturity Date – February 22, 2022.

2.Section 2.3(c) of the Loan Agreement shall be amended by deleting such section in its entirety and replacing it as follows:

c. The principal balance of the Term Loan shall be paid in forty-eight (48) consecutive equal monthly installments of principal in the amount of One Hundred Nine Thousand Three Hundred Seventy Five Dollars ($109,375.00) on the 22nd day of each month (but excluding payments otherwise due on February 22, 2020, March 22, 2020 and April 22, 2020). A final installment of all unpaid principal and all accrued and unpaid

​

​

interest outstanding under the Term Loan shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

3.A new Section 6.22 shall be added to the Loan Agreement, which shall read as follows:

6.22. New Equity: Borrower shall cause KAE to issue new Capital Stock (the terms of which Capital Stock shall be in form and substance acceptable to Lender) during the period between March 25, 2020 and April 30, 2020 which results in KAE receiving net cash proceeds from the issuance of such Capital Stock in an amount not less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000).

4.Section 8.1(c) of the Loan Agreement shall be amended by deleting the phrase “6.11 and VII” and replacing it with the phrase “6.11, 6.22 and VII”.

5.ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF CERTAIN EVENTS OF DEFAULT. BORROWER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND CONFIRMS THAT CERTAIN EVENTS OF DEFAULT HAVE OCCURRED UNDER THE LOAN AGREEMENT AS A RESULT OF BORROWER (a) NOT MAINTAINING TANGIBLE NET WORTH OF AT LEAST ONE MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1,750,000) AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2019, AS REQUIRED BY SECTION 6.9(A) OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT AND (b) NOT MAINTAINING A DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE RATIO OF NOT LESS THAN 1.25:1 AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2019, AS REQUIRED BY SECTION 6.9(B) OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT (COLLECTIVELY, THE “EXISTING DEFAULTS”). FOLLOWING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS AMENDMENT, UPON BORROWER TIMELY SATISFYING THE TERMS OF SECTION 6.22 OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT, IF NO DEFAULTS OR EVENTS OF DEFAULT EXIST AT SUCH TIME (OTHER THAN THE EXISTING DEFAULTS), LENDER SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED THE EXISTING DEFAULTS, PROVIDED THAT LENDER’S WAIVER SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO BE A WAIVER OF ANY SUBSEQUENT VIOLATIONS OF ANY COVENANT REFERENCED IN SECTION 6.9 OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT OR A WAIVER OF ANY OTHER DEFAULTS OR EVENTS OF DEFAULTS WHICH MAY HAVE OCCURRED BUT WHICH ARE NOT SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFIED ABOVE.
