Note 11 — Notes Payable (cont.)

$10,000,000 August 9, 2017 Loan:

On August 9, 2017, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to Loan Agreement (“Second Amendment”) with Knight, pursuant to which Knight agreed to loan the Company an additional $10 million, and an ongoing credit facility of up to $20 million, and which amount was borrowed at closing (the “Financing”) for working capital purposes. At closing, the Company paid Knight an origination fee of $200,000 and a work fee of $100,000 and also paid $100,000 of Knight’s expenses associated with the Loan.

Additional Tranches under the Loan Agreement are available to the Company until August 9, 2022 provided that no event of default exists. Each Additional Tranche must be for a minimum amount of $1.0 million, may only be used to finance qualified acquisitions (as defined in the Loan Agreement), and can be denied in Knight’s absolute discretion. If an Additional Tranche is denied, the Company can effect a qualified acquisition through a special purpose entity with such special purpose entity being entitled to obtain financing from third parties so long as such financing does not adversely affect Knight or Knight’s rights under the Loan Agreement. Upon the closing of any Additional Tranche, the Company will pay Knight an origination fee equal to 2% of the Additional Tranche, a work fee equal to 1% of the amount of the Additional Tranche, and reimburse Knight for its expenses incurred in connection with its consideration of any Additional Tranche (whether or not advanced).

The Loan bears interest at 10.5% per annum. The amended Loan Agreement matures on August 8, 2020 and (b) the date that Knight, in its discretion, accelerates the Company’s obligations due to an event of default.

On the Maturity Date of the Third Tranche and every Additional Tranche (or upon the acceleration of each such loan), the Company must pay Knight a success fee (the “Success Fee”) of that number of Company common shares equal to 10% of the loan, divided by the lesser of (a) $1.50, (b) the lowest price at which any common shares were issued by the Company in any offering or equity financing or other transaction between the Closing Date and the date the Success Fee is due, and (c) the current market price on the date the Success Fee is due. The Company may also pay the Success Fee in cash pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement.

The Loan Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, and affirmative and restrictive covenants, including covenants to attain and maintain certain financial metrics, and to not merge or dispose of assets, acquire other businesses (except for businesses substantially similar or complementary to the Company’s business, and provided that the aggregate consideration to be paid does not exceed $100,000 and the acquired business guarantees the Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement) or make capital expenditures in excess of $500,000. The Loan Agreement also includes customary events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of covenants, change of control and material adverse effect defaults. Upon the occurrence of an event of default and during the continuation thereof, the principal amount of all loans under the Loan Agreement will bear a default interest rate of an additional 5%.

The Company’s obligations and liabilities under the Loan Agreement are secured and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries as provided in the Loan Agreement.

On May 8, 2020, the Company entered into a Third Amendment Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Knight Therapeutics (Barbados) Inc. (“Knight”), pursuant to which Knight agreed to loan the Company an additional $2.5 million (the “Additional Loan”). That same day (the “Closing”), the Company paid Knight a work fee of $36,000, and $25,000 for Knight’s legal costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Third Amendment. The Third Amendment amends the original loan agreement that the Company and Knight entered into in January 2015 and subsequently amended (as amended, the “Original Loan Agreement”). The Additional Loan matures on May 8, 2021 (the “TA Maturity Date”) and bears interest at 12.5% per annum compounding quarterly. On the TA Maturity Date, the Company will pay Knight a success fee (the “Success Fee”) of $83,250. The Success Fee is payable in cash or stock as set forth in the Loan Agreement. The Third Amendment includes customary representations, warranties, and affirmative and restrictive covenants, including covenants to attain and maintain certain financial metrics, including an undertaking to maintain at all times a cash balance of $600,000 and EBITDA of $3,000,000 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2020 and $4,000,000 for the twelve-month period ending on the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter.

Note 11 — Notes Payable (cont.)

Terms of the $10,000,000 August 9, 2017 loan (Third Tranche) (see note 9) were modified in the Third amendment. Third tranche shall bear interest from May 8, 2020 at a rate equal to 12.5% per annum compounded quarterly. The Company shall pay success fee in the amount of $1,000,000 with respect to the Third Tranche, which shall be fully earned on May 8, 2020 and payable no later than August 31, 2022. Third Tranche success fee shall bear interest at 12.5% per annum compounding quarterly. The loan has been extended to a maturity date of December 31, 2021. Because these amendments were considered not substantive changes, the Company accounted for the modifications as modification of debt.

On July 7, 2022, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Knight Therapeutics (Barbados) Inc. (“Knight”), pursuant to which Knight agreed to loan the Company an additional $2.0 million (the “Second Additional Loan”). The Fourth Amendment amends the original loan agreement that the Company and Knight entered into in January 2015 and subsequently amended (as amended, the “Original Loan Agreement”). The Second Additional Loan matures on the earlier of October 31, 2022 and the date that is ninety days after the date, if any, on which Knight delivers a Second Additional Loan Repayment Notice to the Company. The Company will pay Knight a success fee of $40,000 and an amendment fee of $30,000 which is fully earned and payable as of the Fourth Amendment Date. The loan bears interest at the greater of 14% or the prime rate plus 8% per annum, compounded quarterly. This $2.0 million Second Additional Loan (only) has a personal guarantee by a shareholder, Jack Ross.
