Minimum net revenue financial covenant requirements for the monthly periods ending after December 31, 2018 will be determined by the Lenders in their reasonable discretion after consultation with Borrower, no later than December 31 of the year immediately preceding each applicable fiscal year, based on the projections delivered by Borrower to Agent and the Lenders in accordance with Section 6.2(e) (which for the avoidance of doubt shall be delivered by Borrower no later than November 30 of the year immediately preceding each applicable fiscal year); provided that, such minimum net revenue threshold for any month following December 31, 2018 shall not be less than the corresponding month for the immediately preceding year.

 

2                                   The definitions of “Availability Amount” and “Term Loan Final Payment” appearing in Section 13.1 of the Loan Agreement shall be deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:

 

“Availability Amount” is (a) the lesser of (i) the Revolving Line or (ii) (X) the amount available under the Borrowing Base minus (Y) the Ineligible Reserve; minus (b) the outstanding principal balance of any Advances.

 

“Term Loan Final Payment” is a payment (in addition to and not a substitution for the regular monthly payments of principal plus accrued interest, and supplemental of all other fees and expenses due and owing in connection with the Term Loan Advances), in an amount equal to the aggregate original principal amount of the Term Loan Advances advanced to Borrower multiplied by seven percent (7.00%).

 

3                                   The following new terms and their respective definitions shall be inserted in Section 13.1, each in its applicable alphabetical order:

 

“Ineligible Reserve” is (i) from the Second Loan Modification Effective Date through and including the Ineligible Reserve Release Date, [***] Dollars ($[***]); and (ii) commencing on the first day after the Ineligible Reserve Release Date and thereafter, Zero Dollars ($0.00).

 

“Ineligible Reserve Release Date” is the date occurring after the Second Loan Modification Effective Date, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, on which Borrower provides Bank evidence satisfactory to Bank, in its sole but reasonable discretion, that Borrower has complied with the Minimum Revenue financial covenant described in Section 6.9(a) for two (2) consecutive quarters.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed a waiver of or release by Bank of any other right or remedy of Bank under this Agreement following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, including, without limitation, an Event of Default arising by virtue of Borrower failing to achieve the Minimum Revenue financial covenant requirements described in Section 6.9(a) for any monthly period.

 

“Second Loan Modification Effective Date” is May 9, 2017.

 

4                                   Compliance Certificate.  The Compliance Certificate attached as Exhibit B to the Loan Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with Exhibit A attached hereto.

 

4.             FEES.  Borrower shall reimburse the Lenders for all legal fees and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the Existing Loan Documents and this Loan Modification Agreement.

 

5.             RATIFICATION OF PERFECTION CERTIFICATE.  Except as set forth on Schedule 5 of the Loan  Modification, Borrower hereby ratifies, confirms and reaffirms, all and singular, the terms and disclosures contained in a certain Perfection Certificate, dated as of September 9, 2016, as updated from time to time through the date hereof, and acknowledges, confirms and agrees the disclosures and information above Borrower provided to the Agent and the Lenders in such Perfection Certificate remains true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof.

 

6.             AUTHORIZATION TO FILE.  Borrower hereby authorizes Agent to file UCC financing statements without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions, as Bank deems appropriate, in order to further perfect or protect Agent’s interest in the Collateral, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by either the Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of the Agent under the Code.

 

7.             CONSISTENT CHANGES.  The Existing Loan Documents are hereby amended wherever necessary to reflect the changes described above.

 

8.             RATIFICATION OF LOAN DOCUMENTS.  Borrower hereby ratifies, confirms, and reaffirms all terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, each other Loan Document and all security or other collateral granted to the Lenders, and confirms that the indebtedness secured thereby includes, without limitation, the Obligations.

 

9.             NO DEFENSES OF BORROWER.  Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that Borrower has no offsets, defenses, claims, or counterclaims against the Lenders with respect to the Obligations, or otherwise, and that if Borrower now has, or ever did have, any offsets, defenses, claims, or counterclaims against any of the Lenders, whether known or unknown, at law or in equity, all of them are hereby expressly WAIVED and Borrower hereby RELEASES each of the Lenders from any liability thereunder.

 

10.          CONTINUING VALIDITY.  Borrower understands and agrees that in modifying the existing Obligations, each Lender is relying upon Borrower’s representations, warranties, and agreements, as set forth in the Existing Loan Documents.  Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement, the terms of the Existing Loan Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect.  The Lenders’ agreement to modifications to the existing Obligations pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement in no way shall obligate any Lender to make any future modifications to the Obligations.  Nothing in this Loan Modification Agreement shall constitute a satisfaction of the Obligations.  It is the intention of the Agent, each Lender and Borrower to retain as liable parties all makers of Existing Loan Documents, unless the party is expressly released by the Agent and the Lenders in writing.  No maker will be released by virtue of this Loan Modification Agreement.

11.          RIGHT OF SET-OFF.  In consideration of Lenders’ agreement to enter into this Loan Modification Agreement, Borrower hereby reaffirms and hereby grants to Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, a lien, security interest and right of set off as security for all Obligations owed to the Lenders, whether now existing or hereafter arising upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Agent or any entity under the control of Agent or any Lender (including a Subsidiary thereof) or in transit to any of them.  At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without demand or notice, Agent may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any Obligations of Borrower then due regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the loan.  ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE ANY LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF BORROWER, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

 

12.          CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER.  Section 12 of the Loan Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

Minimum net revenue financial covenant requirements for the monthly periods ending after December 31, 2018 will be determined by the Lenders in their reasonable discretion after consultation with Borrower, no later than December 31 of the year immediately preceding each applicable fiscal year, based on the projections delivered by Borrower to Agent and the Lenders in accordance with Section 6.2(e) (which for the avoidance of doubt shall be delivered by Borrower no later than November 30 of the year immediately preceding each applicable fiscal year); provided  that, such minimum net revenue threshold for any month following December 31, 2018 shall not be less than the corresponding month for the immediately preceding year.
