WHEREAS, Borrowers, Credit Parties, Agent and certain other financial institutions from time to time party thereto (the "Lenders") are parties to that certain Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of May 17th, 2010, (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Loan Agreement");


 


WHEREAS, Borrowers and Credit Parties have notified Agent that Events of Default exist under Section 8.2 of the Loan Agreement due to (i) the failure by the Companies to deliver to Agent and Lenders the Companies' Projections as required by Section 6.3(c) of the Loan Agreement within 30 days prior to the start of the Parent's fiscal year commencing January 1, 2014 and the continuance of such failure for more than 5 days, and (ii) the failure of the Companies to maintain EBITDA for the 12 month period ending on December 31, 2013 of at least $7,500,000 as required by Section 7.20(a)(i) of the Loan Agreement (such Events of Default, collectively, the "Existing Defaults");

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Agent, Required Lenders and Borrowers have agreed to amend the Loan Agreement in order to extend the Maturity Date from November 13, 2014 to November 13, 2015;


 


NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:


 


1.            Defined Terms.  Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.








2.            Waiver.  Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5 hereof, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties contained herein, Agent and Lenders hereby waive the Existing Defaults.  Agent's and Lenders' waiver of the Existing Defaults shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other existing or hereafter arising Defaults or Events of Default or any other deviation from the express terms of the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document.  This is a limited waiver and shall not be deemed to constitute a consent or waiver of any other term, provision or condition of the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, as applicable, or to prejudice any right or remedy that Agent or any Lender may now have or may have in the future under or in connection with the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.


 


3.            Amendments to Loan Agreement.  Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4 hereof, the Loan Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

(b)         The Loan Agreement is amended by replacing the reference to "for a term ending on November 13, 2014 (the "Maturity Date")" set forth in Section 3.4 of the Loan Agreement with a reference to "for a term ending November 13, 2015 ("the "Maturity Date")".


 


4.            Ratification.  This Amendment, subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5 hereof, shall constitute an amendment to the Loan Agreement and all of the Loan Documents as appropriate to express the agreements contained herein.  Except as specifically set forth herein, the Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect in accordance with their original terms.


 


5.            Conditions to Effectiveness.  This Amendment shall become effective upon the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:


 


(a)          Each party hereto shall have executed and delivered this Amendment to Agent;


 


(b)         Borrowers shall have delivered to Agent the documents set forth on the closing checklist attached as Exhibit A hereto, and such other documents, agreements and instruments as may be requested or required by Agent in connection with this Amendment, each in form and content acceptable to Agent;


 


(c)          No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (other than the Existing Defaults) on the date hereof or as of the date of the effectiveness of this Amendment;


 


(d)         Agent shall have received the Fifth Amendment Fee (as defined below) (which condition may be satisfied by Agent charging such amendment fee to the Borrowers' loan account as an Advance on the date hereof); and

6.            Amendment Fee.  To induce Agent and Lenders to enter into this Amendment, Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, a non-refundable fee equal to $75,000 (the "Fifth Amendment Fee"), which shall be due and payable on the date hereof.  Borrowers hereby authorize Agent to charge such amendment fee to the Borrowers' loan account as an Advance on the date hereof.


 


7.            Covenants to Deliver Projections.


 


(a)          To induce Agent and Lenders to enter into this Amendment, Borrowers hereby agree to deliver to Agent, on or before April 15, 2014, Borrowers' Projections for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014 together with a monthly liquidity forecast for each month through and including December 2014, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to Agent.  The failure of the Borrowers to satisfy the foregoing covenant shall result in an immediate Event of Default.


 


(b)          To induce Agent and Lenders to enter into this Amendment, Borrowers hereby agree to deliver to Agent, on or before June 30, 2014, Borrowers' Projections for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2014, December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2016, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to Agent.

The failure of the Borrowers to satisfy the foregoing covenant shall result in an immediate Event of Default.


 


9.            Consent.  Subject to the Agent's receipt of a fully executed agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Agent with respect to the allocation of the risk of loss of the ROFR Deposit (as defined below) between Telos and the contemplated new landlord ("New Landlord") in respect of the leased headquarters location of Telos, Agent and Lenders hereby consent to (a) the making by Telos of a $500,000 non-refundable deposit to the current landlord in respect of the leased headquarters location of Telos that is necessary for the exercise of the option to purchase granted by such landlord to Telos under the existing lease (the "Existing Lease") for such location (such $500,000 deposit, the "ROFR Deposit") (it being agreed and understood for the avoidance of doubt that this is only a consent to the making of the ROFR Deposit and not a consent to the purchase of such location by Telos), and (b) the assignment by Telos to New Landlord of the option to purchase under the Existing Lease.
