AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, Borrower and Lender agree as follows:

 

1. RATIFICATION; LOAN DOCUMENTS REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT

Borrower hereby acknowledges, confirms and ratifies all of the terms and conditions set forth in, and all of its obligations under, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as modified by this Amendment. Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of, or as an amendment of, any right, power, or remedy of Lender under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, as in effect prior to the date hereof.

Borrower acknowledges that the aggregate principal amount due and owing under the Growth Capital Notes, exclusive of fees, costs, End of Term Payments and other expenses, as of April 2, 2018 (after giving effect to the April 1, 2018 payments), was $50,000,000.00 (the “Outstanding Loan Debt”). Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally acknowledges that the Loan Agreement, the Growth Capital Notes, the Loan Documents, the Excluded Agreements and all other documents or instruments executed in connection therewith are in full force and effect and constitute the valid, legal and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable in accordance with their respective terms. Borrower has no defenses, offsets, counterclaims or deductions to all or any portion of the Secured

 

Amendment_to_GC_Loan   


Obligations, including Borrower’s obligation to repay the Outstanding Loan Debt, and, to the extent any such defenses, offsets, counterclaims or deductions against Lender exist as of the date of this Agreement, with or without Borrower’s knowledge, they are hereby forever waived and released by Borrower.

 

2. AMENDMENTS TO LOAN DOCUMENTS

A. Amendment to Part 1 and Part 2 Commitment Amount Payment Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, effective as of the date in which Borrower satisfied all the conditions to effectiveness set forth in Section 3 herein (the “Effective Date”)

 

    The “Maturity Date” set forth in each of the Growth Capital Notes shall automatically be extended to August 31, 2019 (the “Further Revised Maturity Date”).

 

    Monthly payments under the Growth Capital Notes shall continue to be interest only payments, through the Further Revised Maturity Date, at a rate which is one and one-half percent (1.50%) higher than the interest rates set forth in the Growth Capital Notes. You agree to, promptly upon the date hereof, execute the Promissory Notes attached hereto as Exhibit 1, (“AR Note #1”), Exhibit 2, (“AR Note #2”), Exhibit 3, (“AR Note #3”) and Exhibit 4, (“AR Note #4” and together with AR Note # 1, AR Note #2 and AR Note #3 the “2018 Amended and Restated Notes”), which 2018 Amended and Restated Notes shall amend and restate the Growth Capital Notes in their entirety. All outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest remaining under the 2018 Amended and Restated Notes shall be paid on the Further Revised Maturity Date (as defined above). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the interest rate referenced herein shall commence as of the Fourth Amendment Closing Date

 

    Amendment Success Fee. In consideration of the terms of this Amendment, upon the consummation of a Merger Event or Change of Control (as a “Change of Control” is described in Section 14 of the Loan Agreement), as applicable (a “Trigger Event”), either while principal and accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts are outstanding under the 2018 Amended and Restated Notes (it being understood that all Secured Obligations shall be repaid in connection with the consummation of such Trigger Event) or within ninety (90) days following the date in which all such amounts have been paid in full (such date of final payment, “Payoff Date”), You shall pay to Lender a fee (the “Success Fee”) as follows:

 

    If the Trigger Event occurs in calendar year 2018, an amount equal to 10% of the principal amount then outstanding under the 2018 Amended and Restated Notes at the time of such Trigger Event (or of the principal amount then outstanding under the 2018 Amended and Restated Notes as of the Payoff Date if the Trigger Event follows the Payoff Date);

 

    If the Trigger Event occurs in calendar year 2019, an amount equal to 20% of the principal amount then outstanding under the 2018 Amended and Restated Notes at the time of such Trigger Event (or of the principal amount then outstanding under the 2018 Amended and Restated Notes as of the Payoff Date if the Trigger Event follows the Payoff Date); and

 

    If the Trigger Event occurs in calendar year 2020 or thereafter, an amount equal to 30% of the principal amount then outstanding under the 2018 Amended and Restated Notes at the time of such Trigger Event (or of the principal amount then outstanding under the 2018 Amended and Restated Notes as of the Payoff Date if the Trigger Event follows the Payoff Date).

You hereby agree that the foregoing Success Fee is given for full and adequate consideration and is fully earned as of the Fourth Amendment Closing Date and, pursuant to the terms set forth herein, is due and payable upon the consummation of the Trigger Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Payoff Date occurs in connection with a refinancing by another lender (not received in connection with the occurrence of the Trigger Event), the Success Fee shall terminate immediately upon the Payoff Date.

B. Amortization Extension Option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, if Borrower (i) prepays Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) or more of the Secured Obligations (“Prepayment Amount”) and (ii) provides Lender with written notice of its intention to extend the maturity date of the 2018 Amended and Restated Notes to the New Further Revised Maturity Date (as defined and as set forth below) on or before the Further Revised Maturity Date, then effective on the date in which Lender received the Prepayment Amount, the following shall occur:

 

   

The Prepayment Amount shall first be applied to satisfy all obligations under AR Note #4 and any remainder shall be applied to prepayment of amounts due under AR Note #3, then to AR Note #2, and then AR Note #1,

 

Amendment_to_GC_Loan    2


 

until the entire Prepayment Amount has been applied. If the application of the Prepayment Amount in accordance with the preceding sentence would result in a partial repayment of the obligations under a 2018 Amended and Restated Note, such Prepayment Amount shall be first applied to accrued and unpaid interest under such 2018 Amended and Restated Note and second, on a pro rata basis, to outstanding principal, any final payment and any End of Term Payment with respect to such 2018 Amended and Restated Note until the entire Prepayment Amount has been applied.

 

    The Maturity Date under the 2018 Amended and Restated Notes that have not been repaid in full pursuant to the preceding sentence shall automatically and through no further action of the parties be extended to February 28, 2021 (the “New Further Revised Maturity Date”).

 

    Effective on September 1, 2019, Borrower shall make monthly payments of equal principal and payments of interest under the remaining 2018 Amended and Restated Notes through the New Further Revised Maturity Date, (the “Amortization Extension”). All outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest remaining under the remaining Growth Capital Notes shall be paid on the New Further Revised Maturity Date. You will issue to Us amended and restated Promissory Notes to evidence the Amortization Extension described in this Section 2.B. on the terms set forth herein.

C. Board Information; Board Observation: Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, effective as of the Effective Date:

Board Information; Board Observation. From the Fourth Amendment Closing Date through the earlier of (i) February 29, 2020, or (ii) the date in which all of the Secured Obligations have been satisfied in full Lender shall have the right to have one representative attend all meetings of Borrower’s Board of Directors as an observer (the “Observer”). The initial Observer shall be Jim Labe or Lender’s CEO (or if neither such individual is available and on an occasional basis, a designee employed by Lender). Any replacement Observer and any designee of Mr. Labe or Lender’s CEO shall be mutually agreed by Borrower and Lender. Borrower shall permit the Observer to attend all meetings (whether regular, special or otherwise, and whether held in person or telephonically) of Borrower’s Board of Directors and all committees thereof in a non-voting, observer capacity and provide to the Observer, concurrently with the members of Borrower’s Board of Directors and in the same manner, notice of such meetings and a copy of all materials provided to such members, including minutes and all other materials presented at such meeting; provided, however, that Borrower reserves the right to exclude the Observer from access to any material or meeting or portion thereof (A) if Borrower determines (i) on the advice of its counsel, that such exclusion is necessary to preserve the attorney-client or work product privilege, (ii) to protect Borrower’s trade secrets or highly confidential proprietary information, (iii) that access to such information or attendance at such meeting could result in a conflict of interest between Lender or Observer, on the one hand, and Borrower, on the other hand or (B) if the members of the Borrower’s Board of Directors unanimously vote to exclude such representative from any meeting or from any portion thereof for a valid good faith business purpose. In addition Lender shall be provided reasonable access to Borrower’s management and Board of Directors to review and discuss the Borrower. Lender agrees that any information that it obtains, either directly or indirectly, pursuant to the exercise of its information and Board observation rights provided for in this paragraph shall constitute confidential information of Borrower and shall be subject to the confidentiality restrictions and restrictions on use set forth in the Loan Agreement. Lender shall cause Observer to observer the confidentiality restrictions and restrictions on use set forth in the Loan Agreement to the same extent that Lender is bound thereby, and any breach of any such confidentiality restrictions or restrictions on use by Observer shall constitute a breach of the same by Lender.

D. Continuation of Security Interest: Section 20 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating the paragraph under the heading “Continuation of Security Interest” in its entirety as follows:

Continuation of Security Interest. This is a continuing agreement and the grant of the security interest and Lien hereunder or any other Loan Document shall remain in full force and effect and all of Our rights, powers and remedies shall continue to exist until all of the Secured Obligations, including principal, interest, fees, costs and other amounts owed by You to Us (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are fully and finally paid in cash and We have no further obligation to make Advances. We shall file a termination statement and provide proof of filing to You promptly after the full and final payment in cash of all of the Secured Obligations, including principal, interest, fees, costs and other amounts owed by You to Us hereunder (other than inchoate indemnity obligations), releasing to You, without recourse except for Our acts, the Collateral and all rights conveyed hereby and returning possession of the Collateral to You. Our rights, powers and remedies shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given by statute or rule of law and are cumulative. The exercise of any one or more of the rights, powers and remedies provided herein or in any other Loan Document shall not be construed as a waiver of or election of remedies with respect to any of Our other rights, powers and remedies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event You wish to prepay all Secured Obligations on any date prior to the Trigger Event, We agree that the Secured Obligations will no longer include the “Success Fee.”
