2.1           Term Loan.

 

(a)          Agent and Lenders will establish for Borrower, during the Contract Period and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, a convertible, delayed draw term loan facility consisting of (i) a term loan in the principal amount of $300,000 (“Tranche A Term Loan”), which Tranche A Term Loan has heretofore been funded in full by the Initial Lenders in their Percentage Share under the Existing Agreement and constitutes Lender Indebtedness hereunder, which is due and owing by Borrower as of the date hereof without offset, defense or counterclaim, (ii) a delayed draw term loan in the principal amount of $200,000 (“Tranche B Term Loan”), which Tranche B Term Loan shall be made in accordance with Section 2.1(b), and (iii) a delayed draw term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000 (“Tranche C Term Loan”), which Tranche C Term Loan shall be made in accordance with Section 2.1(c). The Term Loan is not a revolving loan, so that if Borrower repays all or any portion of the Term Loan at any time, such amount so repaid may not be re-borrowed. The Term Loan shall be subject to all terms and conditions set forth in all of the Loan Documents, which terms and conditions are incorporated herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.1, no Lender will be required or have any obligation to make any extensions of credit hereunder if a Default then exists or could reasonably be expected to result by virtue of the making thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall Lenders be obligated to make to Borrower, or Borrower be entitled to borrow or receive from Lenders, any loans, advances or extensions of credit hereunder other than the Term Loan.

 

 

(b)          Since as of the Effective Date the Undrawn Tranche A Availability is $0, Borrower shall have the right from time to time, at any time during the Contract Period, to request that Tranche B Lenders make Advances under the Tranche B Term Loan to Borrower in an amount not to exceed the then Undrawn Tranche B Availability. In connection with such request, each Tranche B Lender agrees severally (not jointly and not jointly and severally) to make, in accordance with Section 2.3 below, a Tranche B Term Loan to Borrower in an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage Share of such request.

 

(c)          At any time during the Contract Period, when the Undrawn Tranche B Availability is $0, Borrower shall have the right, from time to time, to request that Tranche C Lenders make Advances under the Tranche C Term Loan to Borrower in an amount not to exceed the then Undrawn Tranche C Availability. In connection with each such request, each Tranche C Lender agrees severally (not jointly and not jointly and severally) to make, in accordance with Section 2.3 below, a Tranche C Term Loan to Borrower in an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage Share of such Advance request.

 

2.2           Use of Proceeds. Borrower agrees to use Advances under the Term Loan for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

2.3           Method of Advances. On any Business Day, Borrower may request an Advance by delivering to Agent a written request therefor (each an “Advance Request”), which Advance Request may be submitted by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, subject to the prior approval of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company; provided, however, if (a) the Chief Executive Officer is unavailable for a period of more than 24 hours from the time an Advance Request is proposed to be delivered by the Chief Financial Officer or (b) the Chief Executive Officer determines not to approve an Advance Request proposed to be delivered by the Chief Financial Officer, then under either of such circumstances, the Advance Request proposed by the Chief Financial Officer may be presented to the Board of Directors of the Company for its consideration and approval (either at a meeting or by consent in writing of a majority of the Board), which, if given, would supersede any failure of approval or disapproval by the Chief Executive Officer. Each such request shall specify (i) the amount of the requested Advance, which shall be at least $50,000.00 or, if less, the current amount of Undrawn Availability, and (ii) the date (the “Requested Advance Date”) upon which Borrower desires Lenders to fund the Advance, which date shall be at least one (1) Business Day subsequent to Agent’s receipt of the Advance Request. Any Advance Request made after 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day shall be deemed to be made on the next following Business Day. Following Agent’s receipt of an Advance Request, Agent will make the requested Advance on the Requested Advance Date, by transferring immediately available funds via wire transfer or ACH transfer to an account previously designated to Agent in writing by Borrower.

 

3.          INTEREST.

 

3.1           Interest Rate. Interest on outstanding Advances will accrue from the date of advance until final payment (or conversion, as contemplated by Section 4.4 below) thereof, at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum (the “Basic Interest Rate”), which interest may be paid as Cash Interest or as PIK Interest, in the discretion of Borrower, as more fully contemplated by Section 4.1 below. For purposes of clarification, PIK Interest at the Basic Interest Rate shall be deemed to have commenced accruing on (i) each of the individual Advances comprising the Initial Advance, on the date of each such Advance, (ii) the Advance in the amount of $50,000 made on February 23, 2016, as of the date of such Advance, and (iii) the Advance in the amount of $50,000 made on February 25, 2016, as of the date of such Advance. If following receipt by the Company of a Notice of Conversion by any Lender with respect to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Contingent Convertible Portion of the Term Loan, conversion thereof into Common Stock has not occurred on or prior to the Supplemental Interest Commencement Date, then Supplemental Interest will accrue on the outstanding Contingent Convertible portion of such Lender’s Term Loan from the Supplemental Interest Commencement Date until final payment (or conversion, as contemplated by Section 4.4 below) thereof, as more fully contemplated by Section 4.1 below. Interest will be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed.

 

 

3.2           Limitation of Interest to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event will the rate of interest payable hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by applicable law (including the choice of law rules) and any interest paid in excess of the permitted rate will be refunded to Borrower. Such refund will be made by application of the excessive amount of interest paid against any sums outstanding hereunder and will be applied in such order as Agent may determine. If the excessive amount of interest paid exceeds the sums outstanding, the portion exceeding the sums outstanding will be refunded in cash by Agent, for the account of Lenders. Any such crediting or refunding will not cure or waive any default by Borrower. Borrower agrees, however, that in determining whether or not any interest payable hereunder exceeds the highest rate permitted by law, any non-principal payment, including without limitation prepayment fees and late charges, will be deemed to the extent permitted by law to be an expense, fee, premium or penalty rather than interest.

 

4.          PAYMENTS AND CONVERSION.

 

4.1           Interest Payments. Accrued interest shall be due and payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar month (an “Interest Payment Date”) commencing on the first day of the first calendar month following the date of the Initial Advance to Borrower hereunder. Interest will be payable in-kind (“PIK Interest”) on the Accreted Principal Amount of the Term Loan by the automatic increase of the principal amount of the Term Loan on each Interest Payment Date by the amount of accrued interest payable at that time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the option of Borrower, Borrower may pay interest in cash (“Cash Interest”) on any one or more Interest Payment Dates in lieu of PIK Interest. Supplemental Interest if due and payable, shall be due and payable monthly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date commencing on the Supplemental Interest Commencement Date.

 

4.2           Principal Payments. If not paid earlier (or converted into Common Stock as contemplated by Section 4.4), Borrower will pay the entire Accreted Principal Amount of the Term Loan, and any other sums due pursuant to the terms hereof, on the third anniversary of the date of this Agreement (the “Final Maturity Date”).

 

4.3           Prepayment. Borrower may prepay all or any part of the amounts due on the Term Loan at any time without any premium or penalty, following delivery of not less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice to Agent. All prepayments will be applied on a pro rata basis against the then outstanding balance of the respective Term Loans of the Lenders.

 

4.4           Conversion by Lenders.

 

(a)          Subject to Section 4.4(b) below, each of the Lenders may, at any time, convert all but not less than all (unless prior written consent of Borrower is obtained), of the Accreted Principal Amount of such Lender’s Term Loan plus any accrued and unpaid interest (but in no event in excess of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the NYSE MKT Threshold) into shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) at the IL Conversion Price, in the case of conversion by the Initial Lenders, and at the SL Conversion Price in the case of conversion by any of the Supplemental Lenders, in each case, subject to adjustment as provided below, by delivering written notice thereof to the Company. Such notice of conversion or any subsequent notice of conversion (each, a “Notice of Conversion”) shall be irrevocable once given and shall specify the amount of the applicable Lender’s Term Loan intended to be converted. The Company shall effect such conversion as promptly as practicable following its receipt of such Notice of Conversion (such date the “Conversion Date”) and interest on the portion of the Term Loan so converted shall cease to accrue on such Conversion Date.

 

(b)          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, initially each Lender’s conversion rights under this Section 4.4 shall be limited to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the lesser of (i) such number of shares of Common Stock as equals less than 20% of all presently outstanding Common Stock, as contemplated by Section 713(a) of the NYSE MKT Rules or (ii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that will not cause the ownership of the Company by any or all Lenders to reach or exceed the “change in control” threshold amount under Section 713(b) of the NYSE MKT Rules, as amended from time to time, in each case, so long as such Rules continue to be applicable to the Company (the “NYSE MKT Threshold”). The Company will, at its sole cost and expense, include within the agenda for its annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2016, a proposal for stockholder approval of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the conversion of the entire amount of the Term Loan (including, without limitation, the portion of the outstanding Term Loan that would cause the ownership of the Company by Lenders to exceed the NYSE MKT Threshold (the “Contingent Convertible Portion”)) into shares of Common Stock at the IL Conversion Price and/or the SL Conversion Price, as applicable. If the Company is unable to obtain stockholder approval or otherwise take alternative steps necessary to permit conversion of a Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Contingent Convertible Portion within fifteen (15) Business Days after the later of (i) the date of such annual meeting of stockholders, or (ii) the date on which such Lender delivers a Notice of Conversion with respect to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Contingent Convertible Portion of the Term Loan to the Company (the “Supplemental Interest Commencement Date”), then the Company will be required to pay to such Lender so providing a Notice of Conversion, Supplemental Interest on such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Contingent Convertible Portion of the Term Loan as provided in Section 3.1 above.

 

 

(c)          The Company covenants and agrees that the shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of any Lender’s conversion rights hereunder will, upon issuance, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times during the time that principal or interest is owed pursuant to this Agreement, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the conversion rights set forth herein. If at any time while Lenders have conversion rights hereunder, the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit conversion of amounts owed hereunder, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

 

(d)          Upon a conversion hereunder, the Company shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock, and in lieu of any fractional shares which would otherwise be issuable, the Company shall issue the next lowest whole number of shares of Common Stock.

Lender Parties have no agreement or commitment outstanding pursuant to which Lender Parties may extend credit to or on behalf of Borrower and Lender Parties have executed termination statements or releases with respect thereto.

No waiver of any Event of Default shall affect any later Event of Default or shall impair any rights of any Lender Party. No single, partial or full exercise of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges by any Lender Party shall preclude further or other exercise thereof. No course of dealing between any Lender Party and Borrower shall operate as or be deemed to constitute a waiver of any Lender Party’s rights under the Loan Documents or affect the duties or obligations of Borrower.

 

9.6           Remedies Cumulative; Consents. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive, but shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to all other rights, remedies, powers and privileges in Lender Parties’ favor at law or in equity.

In the event Borrower shall fail to pay taxes, insurance, assessments, costs or expenses which it is required to pay hereunder, or fails to keep the Collateral free from security interests or liens (except as expressly permitted herein), or fails to maintain or repair the Collateral as required hereby, or otherwise breaches any obligations under the Loan Documents, Agent in its discretion, may make expenditures for such purposes and the amount so expended (including attorney’s fees and expenses, filing fees and other charges) shall be payable by Borrower on demand and shall constitute part of the Lender Indebtedness.

 

Borrower’s obligations under this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement and repayment of the Lender Indebtedness.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints RJP to act as Agent for such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and irrevocably authorizes RJP, as Agent for such Lender, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In performing its functions under this Agreement, RJP is acting solely as an Agent of the Lenders, and RJP does not assume, and shall not be deemed to have assumed, an agency or other fiduciary relationship with Borrower. Agent shall not have any (a) duty, responsibility, obligation or liability to any Lender, except for those duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities expressly set forth in this Agreement, or (b) fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or otherwise exist against Agent.

Agent shall not be liable to any Lender for any action lawfully taken or not taken by Agent under or in connection with the Agreement and the other Loan Documents (except for Agent’s or such person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall not be liable to the Lenders for (a) any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Borrower or any officer thereof contained in (i) this Agreement, (ii) any other Loan Document or (iii) any certificate, report, audit, statement or other document referred to or provided for in this Agreement or received by Agent under or in connection with this Agreement, (b) the value, validity, effectiveness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or Agent’s security interests in the Collateral, (c) any failure of Borrower to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (d) any loss or depreciation in the value of, delay in collecting the proceeds of, or failure to realize on, any Collateral, (e) Agent’s delay in the collection of the Obligations or enforcing Agent’s rights against Borrower, or the granting of indulgences or extensions to Borrower or any account debtor of Borrower, or (f) for any mistake, omission or error in judgment in passing upon or accepting any Collateral. In addition, Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or other agreements of Borrower contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or to inspect, verify, examine or audit the assets, books or records of Borrower at any time.

 

16.4         Reliance and Action by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon legal counsel, independent public accountants and experts selected by Agent, and shall not be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or not taken in good faith based upon the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. In addition, Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document believed by Agent in good faith to be genuine and correct, and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or persons. Agent shall be fully justified in taking or refusing to take any action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents unless Agent (a) receives the advice or consent of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, in a manner that Agent deems appropriate, or (b) is indemnified by the Lenders to Agent’s satisfaction against any and all liability, cost and expense which may be incurred by Agent by reason of taking or refusing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of all Lenders or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Lenders.

 

 

16.5         Events of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder unless Agent has received notice from Borrower or a Lender describing such Event of Default with specificity. In the event that Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to all Lenders. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Lenders or Required Lenders, as the case may be, provided that (a) if appropriate, Agent may require indemnification from the Lenders under Section 16.4 prior to taking such action, (b) under no circumstances shall Agent have an obligation to take any action that Agent believes in good faith would violate any law or any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and (c) unless and until Agent shall have received direction from the Lenders or Required Lenders, as the case may be, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action or refrain from taking action with respect to such Event of Default as Agent shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Lenders.

 

16.6         Lenders’ Due Diligence. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that Agent has not made any representation or warranty to such Lender regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the financial condition of Borrower, and such Lender agrees that no action taken by Agent hereafter, including any review of the business or financial affairs of Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute a representation or warranty by Agent to any Lender.

16.7         Right to Indemnification. The Lenders, jointly and severally, shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Agent (and Agent’s heirs, successors and assigns) (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of (a) this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (b) the transactions contemplated hereby or (c) any action taken or not taken by Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing, provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

16.8         Other Transactions. Agent and any Lender may make loans to and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower, as though Agent or such Lender were not Agent or a Lender hereunder. With respect to loans made by Agent under this Agreement as a Lender, Agent shall have the same rights and powers, duties and liabilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any other Lender, and may exercise the same as though it was not Agent, and the term “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include Agent in its individual capacity as such.

If Agent provides the Lenders with notice of its intention to resign as Agent, the Lenders agree to appoint a successor to Agent as promptly as possible thereafter, whereupon such successor shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor effective upon its appointment. Upon the effective date of Agent’s resignation, such Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent hereunder immediately shall terminate, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 16 shall continue to inure to such Agent’s benefit as to any actions taken or not taken by such Agent while acting as Agent.

(ii)         except as otherwise expressly permitted or required hereunder, release any Collateral.

 

(b)           In all other respects Agent is authorized to take or to refrain from taking any action which Agent, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, deems to be advisable and in the best interest of the Lenders, unless this Agreement specifically requires Borrower or Agent to obtain the consent of, or act at the direction of, the Required Lenders.

 

16.11         Deemed Consent. If a Lender’s consent to a waiver amendment or other course of action is required under the terms of this Agreement and such Lender does not respond to any request by Agent for such consent within five (5) Business Days after the date of such request, such failure to respond shall be deemed a consent to the requested course of action.

 

16.12         Survival of Agreements of the Lenders. The obligations of the Lenders set forth in Section 16.7 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

17.         Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement is an amendment and restatement of, and replaces and supersedes, the Existing Agreement among Borrower and Initial Lenders, and it is not intended to be, nor shall it be construed as, a novation of Borrower’s responsibilities and obligations to Initial Lenders pursuant to the Existing Agreement or any other related documents previously executed in favor of Initial Lenders. It is specifically acknowledged and agreed that the security interests and rights granted to Initial Lenders pursuant to the Existing Agreement and related existing documents, including the Loan Documents, are to continue in full force and effect for the benefit of and shall in all respects be enforceable by Agent and the other Lenders (except to the extent, if any, modified herein), and the priority and perfection of all security interests in the Collateral shall continue to date from the dates originally established in connection with the Existing Agreement and related existing documents. The terms, conditions, agreements, covenants, representations and warranties set forth in the Existing Agreement are simultaneously amended and restated in their entirety, and as so amended and restated, replaced and superseded by the terms, conditions agreements, covenants, representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents executed and/or delivered on or after the date hereof, and as of the Effective Date neither Borrower nor Agent and Lenders shall be subject to or bound by any of the terms of the Existing Agreement and shall only be subject to or bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement, except that nothing herein or in the other Loan Documents shall, in any manner, be construed to constitute payment of, or impair, limit, cancel or extinguish, or constitute a novation in respect of any of the Existing Obligations or any other obligations, liabilities and indebtedness of Borrower evidenced by or arising under the Existing Agreement or impair or adversely affect the continuation of the Liens and other interests in the Collateral heretofore granted, pledged and/or assigned by Borrower to Agent. All Existing Obligations and all other loans, advances and other financial accommodations under the Existing Agreement of Borrower to Agent and Lenders that are outstanding and unpaid as of the date hereof pursuant to the Existing Agreement or otherwise shall be deemed Obligations of Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof, and shall constitute and be deemed Loans hereunder.
