WHEREAS, Borrowers and Lender are parties to that certain Credit and Security Agreement dated as of April 29, 2016 (as amended to date, and as the same may from time to time be further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Lender has made certain credit facilities available to Borrowers. WHEREAS, (a) Borrowers have failed to make a principal payment of $250,000 under the Closing Date Subordinated Debt Documents when due on March 15, 2018, which is an Event of Default under Section 8.1(f) of the Credit Agreement, (b) Borrowers have failed to make a principal payment of $1,750,000 under the Closing Date Subordinated Debt Documents when due on April 30, 2018, which is an Event of Default under Section 8.1(f) of the Credit Agreement, (c) the chief executive officer of the Borrowers has resigned giving rise to a Change of Control, which is an Event of Default under Section 8.1(i) of the Credit Agreement, (d) Borrowers have failed to furnish to Lender annual consolidated and consolidating financial statements for 2017, in the time and as otherwise required by Section 6.1(a)(i) of the Credit Agreement, (e) Borrowers have failed to furnish to Lender monthly consolidated and consolidating financial statements for January, February, March and April of 2018 in the time and as otherwise required by Section 6.1(a)(ii) of the Credit Agreement, (f) Borrowers have failed to furnish to Lender Compliance Certificates and bank statements required to be provided by Sections 6.1(a) of the Credit Agreement for 2017 and January, February, March and April of 2018 in the time and as otherwise required, and (g) for the quarters ending on December 31, 2017 and March 30, 2018, Borrowers have violated each of the financial and loan covenants set forth on Annex I of the Credit Agreement, in breach of the covenant set forth in Section 7.1 of the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Subject Events of Default”); WHEREAS, by reason of the existence of the Subject Events of Default, Lender has full legal right to exercise its rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as a result of the occurrence of the Subject Events of Default, and Borrowers have no defenses, offsets or counterclaims to the exercise of such rights and remedies; DM3\5225908.2


 
WHEREAS, Borrowers have requested and Lender has agreed to, among other things, for the period from the date hereof through the Forbearance Period (as defined below) to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents with respect to the Subject Events of Default subject to the satisfaction or waiver, in Lender’s sole discretion, of each of the conditions precedent set forth herein. WHEREAS, Borrowers and Lender desire to amend the Credit Agreement as more particularly set forth herein. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the mutual covenants and conditions herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 1. Defined Terms. Initially capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein that are defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement (as amended hereby). 2. Agreement to Forbear. During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the earlier to occur of (i) August 31, 2018 and (ii) the occurrence of any Additional Default (as defined below) (the “Forbearance Period”), and subject to the specific conditions precedent set forth in Section 9 hereof and to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender agrees that it will forbear from exercising its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents due to the Subject Events of Default. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the Forbearance Period shall terminate, and nothing contained herein shall limit any rights or remedies of Lender under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, upon a Default or Event of Default which is not a Subject Event of Default (each an “Additional Default”). For purposes of this Agreement, a default or termination of the forbearance period under the SWK Forbearance Agreement (as defined in Section 9(b) hereof) shall constitute an Additional Default. Upon the expiration or termination of the Forbearance Period, Lender’s forbearance shall automatically terminate and Lender shall be entitled to exercise any and all of its rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents without further notice. Borrowers hereby agree that Lender shall have no obligation to extend the Forbearance Period; provided, however, that Borrowers and Lender may extend such Forbearance Period by written agreement. 3. Default Interest. During the Forbearance Period and while any Event of Default remains outstanding and uncured, in accordance with Section 3.6 of the Credit Agreement, the Applicable Rate of interest with respect to the Obligations shall continue to accrue at the Default Rate. 4. Amendment to Credit Agreement. (a) The definition of “Termination Date” set forth in Section 1.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: “ “Termination Date” means, unless extended by Lender in its sole discretion in writing in advance of the Termination Date, the earlier to occur of (a) consummation of a Transaction (as defined in the Forbearance 2 DM3\5225908.2


 
Agreement), (b) September 4, 2018, (c) any date on which the Lender accelerates the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Article VIII, or (d) the termination date stated in any notice of termination of this Agreement provided by Borrowers in accordance with Section 11.1.” (b) The definition of “Forbearance Agreement” is hereby added to Section 1.2 of the Credit Agreement as follows: “ “Forbearance Agreement” means the Forbearance Agreement and Amendment to Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of May 31, 2018, by and among the Borrowers and the Lender.” 5. Overadvance. In accordance with Section 2.1(a)(iii) of the Credit Agreement, the Lender has made Advances to Borrowers of up to $250,000 in excess of Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the period beginning on June 1, 2018 and ending on August 28, 2018, the Lender shall continue to make Advances to Borrowers of up to $250,000 in excess of Availability (the “Overadvances”). Borrowers hereby agree that Lender shall have no obligation to make any Overadvances beyond the earlier to occur of August 28, 2018 and the termination of the Forbearance Period. 6. No Waiver. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other communication between Lender, Borrowers or any other loan party shall be a waiver of any past, present or future violation, Default or Event of Default of Borrowers under the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document. Lender hereby expressly reserves any rights, privileges and remedies under the Credit Agreement and each Loan Document that Lender may have with respect to any violation, Default or Event of Default, and any failure by Lender to exercise any right, privilege or remedy as a result of the violations set forth above shall not directly or indirectly in any way whatsoever either (i) impair, prejudice or otherwise adversely affect the rights of Lender, except as set forth herein, at any time to exercise any right, privilege or remedy in connection with the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document, (ii) amend or alter any provision of the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document or any other contract or instrument or (iii) constitute any course of dealing or other basis for altering any obligation of Borrowers or any rights, privilege or remedy of Lender under the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document or any other contract or instrument. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to be a consent by Lender to any prior, existing or future violations of the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document. 7. Future Compliance. Borrowers are hereby notified that irrespective of (i) any waivers or consents previously granted by Lender regarding the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents, (ii) any previous failures or delays of Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege under the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents or (iii) any previous failures or delays of Lender in the monitoring or in the requiring of compliance by Borrowers with the duties, obligations and agreements of Borrowers in the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents, Borrowers will be expected to and required to comply strictly with its duties, obligations and agreements under the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents. 8.
