The Borrower, the Lenders and Collateral Agent are parties to a Loan and Security Agreement dated as of March 15, 2019 (as amended, by that certain First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of June 20, 2019, Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of August 7, 2019, Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, Waiver and First Amendment to Fee Letter, dated as of October 25, 0000, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx and Limited Waiver to Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of March 16, 2020 (as amended by the First Amendment to Fourth Amendment and Limited Waiver to Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of March 20, 2020), and as further amended restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Loan and Security Agreement”).
The Borrower has informed Collateral Agent that it may be unable (i) to comply with the requirements contained in Section 6.2(a) of the Loan and Security Agreement to deliver to each Lender (x) as soon as available, but no later than thirty (30) days after the last day of each month, a company prepared consolidated and, if prepared by Borrower or if reasonably requested by the Lenders, consolidating balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement covering the consolidated operations of Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries for such month certified by a Responsible Officer and in a form reasonably acceptable to Collateral Agent (the "Monthly Financial Statement Covenant"), for the months beginning with March, 2020 through and including June, 2020 (the “Monthly Financial Statement Specified Period”), and (y) as soon as available, but no later than forty-five (45) days after the last day of each fiscal quarter, a company prepared consolidated and, if prepared by Borrower or if reasonably requested by the Lenders, consolidating balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement covering the consolidated operations of Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries for such fiscal quarter certified by a Responsible Officer and in a form reasonably acceptable to Collateral Agent (the "Quarterly Financial Statement Covenant"), for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2020 (the “Quarterly Financial Statement Specified Period”), and (ii) to comply with the requirement contained in Section 7.13(b) of the Loan and Security Agreement to achieve Specified Product Revenue, measured on a trailing six-month basis on the last day of each month, of not less than the amount specified in Section 7.13(b) for each month (the “Minimum Revenue Covenant”; together with the Monthly Financial Statement Covenant and the Quarterly Financial Statement Covenant, the “Specified Covenants”), for the months beginning with April, 2020 through and including September, 2020 (the “Minimum Revenue Covenant Specified Period”; together with the Monthly Financial Statement Specified Period and the Quarterly Financial Statement Specified Period, each, a “Specified Period”), which inability to so comply, unless waived by Collateral Agent, would in each case constitute an Event of Default under Section 8.2(a) of the Loan and Security Agreement.
The Borrower has requested that Collateral Agent and the Lenders (i) waive Borrower’s compliance with (a) the Monthly Financial Statement Covenant for the Monthly Financial Statement Specified Period, (b) the Quarterly Financial Statement Covenant for the Quarterly Financial Statement Specified Period and (c) the Minimum Revenue Covenant for the Minimum Revenue Covenant Specified Period, (ii) permit Borrower's incurrence of Indebtedness consisting of a loan under the Paycheck Protection Program of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Stability Act (the "PPP Loan") and (iii) agree to certain amendments to the Loan and Security Agreement and the Fee Letter. Collateral Agent and the Lenders have agreed to such requests, subject to the terms and conditions hereof.
Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:
