Loan Authorization Agreement
Dated: January 21, 2011
The Company referred to below has applied for, and Bank of Montreal, Chicago, Illinois (“Lender”) has approved, the establishment of, a loan authorization account (“Loan Account”) from which the Company may from time to time request loans up to the maximum amount of credit shown below (the “Maximum Credit”). Interest on such loans is computed at a variable rate which may change daily based upon changes in the Lender’s Prime Rate or LIBOR Quoted Rate (each as hereinafter defined). The Company may make principal payments at any time and in any amount without premium or penalty. The request by the Company for, and the making by the Lender of, any loan against the Loan Account shall constitute an agreement between the Company and the Lender as follows:

  Cos Cob, Connecticut 06807
 
  Fax: (203) 869-6940
 
  Attn.: Daniel Stencel
         
Type of Loan Account:
  þ   Revolving, which means as principal is repaid, the Company may reborrow subject to this Agreement.
 
        
 
  o   Multiple Advances, which means that the Company may not reborrow any amounts that have been repaid but may still borrow the difference between the Maximum Credit and the principal amounts of prior borrowings.

As used herein, the term “LIBOR Quoted Rate” means, for any day, the rate per annum equal to the quotient of (i) the rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next higher one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point) for deposits in U.S. Dollars for a three-month interest period which appears on the LIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 a.m. (London, England time) on such day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day) divided by (ii) one (1) minus the Reserve Percentage; the term “LIBOR01 Page” means the display designated as “LIBOR01 Page” on the Reuters Service (or such other page as may replace the LIBOR Page on that service or such other service as may be nominated by the British Bankers’ Association as the information vendor for the purpose of displaying British Bankers’ Association Interest Settlement Rates for U.S. Dollar deposits); and “Reserve Percentage” means, for any day, the maximum reserve percentage, expressed as a decimal, at which reserves (including, without limitation, any emergency, marginal, special, and supplemental reserves) are imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) on “eurocurrency liabilities”, as defined in such Board’s Regulation D (or any successor thereto), subject to any amendments of such reserve requirement by such Board or its successor, taking into account any transitional adjustments thereto, without benefit or credit for any prorations, exemptions or offsets under Regulation D (and adjusted automatically on and as of the effective date of any change in any such reserve percentage).

 

 

 

     
Maturity Date:
 
The Loan Account terminates, and Loans are payable, On Written Demand, provided that the Company shall have fourteen (14) business days to honor any demand for payment hereunder if the General Partner has, within two days of such demand, made a capital call as permitted under the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership dated as of September 28, 2007, as amended or modified from time to time, to satisfy payment of such demand (each such capital call, a “Demand Capital Call”).
Periodic Statement reflecting accrued interest will be sent and interest will be payable Monthly as provided below in this Agreement.

1.  
Using the Account. All loans and advances from the Loan Account are referred to in this Agreement as “Loans”. Loan requests must be by telephone and confirmed in writing (including by facsimile) and shall be sent to the Company’s Bank of Montreal Account Officer or Client Services Officer no later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed borrowing in order to be honored the same day. Loan proceeds shall be credited to the Company’s deposit account at the Lender unless the Lender is directed otherwise by special written directions from the Company. The amount of each Loan requested shall be at least the minimum amount shown above, and the Lender shall have the right to refuse to honor any Loan requested by the Company which is less than the minimum amount, even if the Lender has previously honored a Loan request for less than the minimum amount. The Company shall not request any Loan which, when taken together with the Loans then outstanding, would exceed the Maximum Credit. If Loans are secured directly or indirectly by securities traded on a national exchange or by other “margin stock” (as defined by the Federal Reserve Board in Regulation U), then the Company promises to furnish the Lender a duly executed and completed Form U-1 statement and agrees that the proceeds of Loans or other extensions of credit from the Loan Account will not be used to purchase or carry stock, convertible bonds or warrants unless the Company has obtained the prior written consent of the Lender; provided that, the Lender hereby consents to the Company’s use of Loan proceeds to acquire stock issued by Lighting Science Group Corporation. In no event shall the proceeds of any Loans be utilized to finance participation in a hostile tender offer or similar transaction or to finance an acquisition of securities in anticipation of such a hostile transaction.
 
   
Loans will be made available from the Loan Account subject to the Lender’s approval on a case-by-case basis as and when Loans and are requested by the Company.

 

-2-

 

   
All Loans shall be made against and evidenced by the Company’s promissory note payable to the order of the Lender in the principal amount of $10,000,000, such note to be in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Note”). The Lender agrees that notwithstanding the fact that the Note is in the principal amount of $10,000,000, it shall evidence only the actual unpaid principal balance of Loans made under the Loan Account. All Loans and other extensions of credit made against the Note and the status of all amounts evidenced by the Note shall be recorded by the Lender on its books and records or, at its option in any instance, endorsed on a schedule to the Note and the unpaid principal balance and status and rates so recorded or endorsed by the Lender shall be prima facie evidence in any court or other proceeding brought to enforce the Note of the principal amount remaining unpaid thereon, the status of the Loans and other extensions of credit evidenced thereby and the interest rates applicable thereto, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Lender to record any of the foregoing shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Company to repay the principal amount of the Note together with accrued interest thereon. The Lender agrees that if it transfers or assigns the Note, the Lender will stamp thereon a statement of the actual principal amount evidenced thereby at the time of transfer. The Company agrees that in any action or proceeding instituted to collect or enforce collection of the Note, the amount shown as owing the Lender on its records shall be prima facie evidence of the unpaid balance of principal and interest on the Note, absent manifest error.
2.  
Interest. The Company shall pay the Lender interest on the unpaid principal balance of Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Except as set forth herein, accrued interest will be billed monthly, and is due by the later of the last day of each month and the 15th day after the Company’s receipt of such bill (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest for each billing period is computed by applying a daily periodic rate based on the greater of (a) the Lender’s Prime Rate plus 2.50% or (b) LIBOR Quoted Rate plus 5.25%, as applicable, to each day’s ending Loan balance. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days for the actual number of days elapsed. The Lender’s Prime Rate reflects market rates of interest as well as other factors, and it is not necessarily the Lender’s best or lowest rate. The daily Loan balance shall be computed by taking the principal balance of Loans at the beginning of each day, adding any Loans posted to the Loan Account that day, and subtracting any principal payments posted to the Loan Account as of that day. Interest begins to accrue on the date a Loan is posted to the Loan Account. The principal balance of Loans which remains unpaid after fourteen (14) business days after written demand for repayment shall bear interest until paid in full at a post-maturity rate of 2% per annum above the interest rate otherwise applicable to the Loans (determined as aforesaid). The interest rate payable under this Agreement shall be subject, however, to the limitation that such interest rate shall never exceed the highest rate which the Company may contract to pay under applicable law. Interest on the Loans shall, at the option of the Company and subject to the following terms and conditions, be payable either (i) in immediately available funds on each Interest Payment Date in accordance with this paragraph 2, or (ii) by adding such interest to the unpaid principal balance of the Loans on each Interest Payment Date, in which event such interest shall become a like amount of the principal of the Note (a borrowing of a Loan of like amount) which the Company hereby promises to pay as hereinafter set forth, or (iii) by any combination of the methods described in the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) selected by the Company which results in such methods being applied in the satisfaction in full of all interest due on the Loans on such Interest Payment Date:

 

-3-

 

(i) Unless the Company notifies the Lender that the Company intends to pay the interest due on the Loans on each Interest Payment Date with funds not borrowed under this Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have irrevocably requested a Loan on each Interest Payment Date in the amount of the interest then due on the Loans, in each case subject to the provisions of this Agreement (other than the requirement that a Loan be in a certain minimum amount), which new Loan shall be applied to pay the interest then due on the Loans. In the event the Company has elected to pay the interest due on the Loans with funds not borrowed under this Agreement and the Company fails to make any such payment within twenty (20) days after the applicable Interest Payment Date the Lender may in its sole discretion deem the Company to have irrevocably requested a Loan in the amount of the interest then due on the Loans, in each case subject to the provisions of this Agreement (other than the requirement that a Loan be in a certain minimum amount) which new Loans shall be applied to pay the interest then due on the Loans.
(ii) Each payment of interest by a borrowing of a Loan shall be evidenced by the Note, shall bear interest from the date made at a rate per annum equal at all times to the rate then applicable to the Loans, payable on written demand, provided that, if the Company had made a Demand Capital Call, the Company shall have fourteen (14) business days to honor any such demand for payment, but if no demand is made then such interest shall be payable on the later of the last day of each calendar month and fifteen (15) days after the Company’s receipt of the monthly interest statement (commencing on the first of such dates following such issuance) and, subject to the provisions of paragraph 9 herein, on written demand.
(iii) In no event shall the unpaid principal balance of all Loans, including, without limitation, each borrowing of a Loan to pay interest then due on the Loans, exceed the Maximum Credit.
3.  
Fees. The Company agrees to pay to the Lender a non-refundable Closing Fee in the amount of $20,000.
4.  
Restrictions on Debt. So long as this Agreement is in effect, the Company shall not incur any additional debt or guarantees other than the loans and the guarantees in favor of the Lender, except guarantees or other credit support supporting the obligations of its Portfolio Companies so long as the aggregate amount of all outstanding indebtedness and all outstanding guarantees (or other credit support) of the Company does not exceed 80% of the Company’s uncalled Capital Commitments (as defined in the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, dated as of September 28, 2007, as amended, modified or restated from time to time).
5.  
Maturity Date; Payments. The Company shall pay to the Lender the principal balance of outstanding Loans together with any accrued interest On Written Demand, provided that, if the Company had made a Demand Capital Call, the Company shall have fourteen (14) business days to honor any demand for payment hereunder. Payments received by the Lender on the Loans shall be applied first to accrued interest and then to the principal balance of outstanding Loans unless otherwise directed by the Company. If any payment from the Company under this Agreement becomes due on a Saturday, Sunday, or a day which is a legal holiday for banks or other financial institutions in the State of Illinois, such payment shall be made on the next bank business day and any such extension shall be included in computing interest under this Agreement.
6.  
Periodic Statements. The Lender will furnish the Company with a monthly statement for each billing period which has any transaction or balance.
7.  
Financial Statements. So long as this Agreement is in effect, the Company agrees to furnish financial information of the Company to the Lender upon reasonable request of the Lender from time to time. Such information shall be furnished as soon as reasonably possible, but in any event within 30 days after request by the Lender (to the extent that such financial information is readily available or can be prepared within such 30-day period, otherwise as soon as practicable thereafter). Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall deliver:

17. The Fund’s Agreement of Limited Partnership, the General Partner’s Limited Partnership Agreement and the Ultimate GP’s Operating Agreement have not been amended or otherwise modified since _________, except by instruments, true and correct copies of which have been previously delivered to the Lender. There are no side letters or other agreements (as referred to in Section 11.6 of the Fund’s Agreement of Limited Partnership) which would prohibit the Fund from entering into or performing its obligations under any Guaranty in favor of the Lender or borrowing under the Loan Authorization Agreement or affect the applicable Limited Partners’ obligations to honor capital calls as set forth in such Agreement of Limited Partnership or create obligations on the Fund to repurchase partnership interests or redeem the interest of a Limited Partner in the Fund, in each case except as provided in such Agreement of Limited Partnership.
18. So long as the Loan Authorization Agreement or any Guaranty is in effect, the Fund shall not incur any additional debt or guarantees other than loans from and guarantees in favor of the Lender, except for guarantees or other credit support supporting the obligations of its Portfolio Companies so long as the aggregate amount of all outstanding indebtedness and outstanding guarantees (or other credit support) of the Fund does not exceed 80% of the Fund’s aggregate uncalled Capital Commitments. So long as the Loan Authorization Agreement or any Guaranty is in effect, neither the Fund nor the General Partner shall grant or permit to exist any lien, security interest, encumbrance on, or an assignment of, the Capital Commitments, the Fund’s or the General Partner’s right to call capital or to issue Call Notices, or proceeds of any Capital Contributions to secure any loans or for any other purpose without the prior written approval of the Lender, such approval to be granted at the sole discretion of the Lender; provided, however, that the Fund or the General Partner may grant such a security interest so long as the Fund’s obligations to the Lender are equally and ratably secured with such security interest and an intercreditor agreement is in place with the other lender that is reasonably satisfactory to the Lender. The requirements set forth in this paragraph #18 are subject to amendment upon the written consent of both the Lender and the Fund.
19. The General Partner represents and warrants that it will not consent to or act in its discretion to effect an early dissolution of the Fund at any time that the Fund has any outstanding indebtedness or guarantees to the Lender. If the Fund does not have any outstanding indebtedness or guarantees to the Lender, the General Partner will not consent to or act in its discretion to effect an early dissolution or termination of the Fund without first providing the Lender written notice of its intention to do so.
20. The General Partner represents and warrants that it will not act in its discretion to reduce the aggregate Capital Commitments if after giving effect thereto the aggregate uncalled Capital Commitments of the Fund would not be in compliance with the provisions of this Certificate. If the Fund does not have any outstanding indebtedness or guarantees to the Lender, the General Partner will not act in its discretion to reduce the Capital Commitments without first providing the Lender written notice of its intention to do so.
21. The General Partner shall promptly notify the Lender of any assignments of limited partnership interests in the Fund.
22. No Investment or action has been made by the Fund in contravention of the Fund’s Agreement of Limited Partnership.
23. Promptly after receipt, we will provide you with copies of all agreements for capital subscriptions, and upon the Lender’ reasonable request any other documentation, received in connection with the admission of an additional Limited Partner to the Fund (to the extent that such information can be shared without violations of confidentiality provisions binding on us).

24. The General Partner has not excused or excluded any Limited Partner from participating in an Investment whether pursuant to Article 4 of the Fund’s Agreement of Limited Partnership or otherwise other than those disclosed to the Lender prior to the date hereof.
25. No Limited Partner has been required or permitted to withdraw from the Fund whether pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(vi) of the Fund’s Agreement of Limited Partnership or otherwise other than those disclosed to the Lender prior to the date hereof.
26. Within two (2) business days after written demand for payment by the Lender in connection with the obligations of the Fund or the General Partner under the Loan Documents, to the extent that funds are not otherwise available to the Fund to satisfy such obligations, the General Partner shall immediately make a capital call on the Limited Partners of the Fund in order to satisfy payment of such demand, provided that the Fund shall have fourteen (14) business days to honor any such demand.
27. The Fund hereby agrees to notify the Lender in the event of any change of which it becomes aware which would reasonably be expected to cause any of the above representations and warranties to cease to be true and correct in any material respect.
