|

|
The Loan Agreement shall be amended by adding the following, to appear as Section 2.1.2 thereof:
|
“ 2.1.2 2013 Term Loan Advances.
(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the 2013 Draw Period, Bank agrees to make advances (each a “2013 Term Loan Advance” and collectively, “2013 Term Loan Advances”) available to Borrower in an aggregate amount of up to the 2013 Term Loan Advance Amount. Each 2013 Term Loan Advance must be in an amount at least equal to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00). After repayment, no 2013 Term Loan Advance (or any portion thereof) may be reborrowed.
(b) Interest Period. Commencing on the first Payment Date of the calendar quarter following the month in which the Funding Date of such 2013 Term Loan Advance occurs, Borrower shall make quarterly payments of interest, in arrears, on the principal amount of each 2013 Term Loan Advance at the rate set forth in Section 2.2(a)(ii).
(c) Repayment. All outstanding principal and accrued interest under each 2013 Term Loan Advance, and all other outstanding Obligations with respect to each 2013 Term Loan Advance, are due and payable in full on the applicable 2013 Term Loan Maturity Date.
(d) Permitted Prepayment. Borrower shall have the option to prepay any 2013 Term Loan Advance (or portion thereof), provided Borrower (i) provides written notice to Bank of its election to prepay such 2013 Term Loan Advance (or portion thereof) at least fourteen (14) days prior to such prepayment, and (ii) pays, on the date of such prepayment (A) all outstanding principal plus accrued interest under such 2013 Term Loan Advance (or portion thereof), and (B) all other sums, that shall have become due and payable, including interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts.
(e) Permitted Termination. In no way derogating from Section 2.1.2(d) above, Borrower shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement, without any liability, penalty, fees or costs to Borrower solely on account of such termination, upon Borrower (i) providing at least fourteen (14) days prior written notice to Bank (upon the provision of such notice, Borrower shall no longer be entitled to request any further 2013 Term Loan Advances) and (ii) paying, on the effective date of such termination (A) all outstanding principal plus accrued interest under all Credit Extensions and (B) all other sums that shall have become due and payable under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any outstanding Unused Commitment Fees), including interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts.
2
(f) Mandatory Prepayment.
(i) In the event of a Qualifying Transaction occurring after the First LMA Closing Date, Bank shall be entitled to request that Borrower prepay, on account of the outstanding principal amount of 2013 Term Loan Advances (plus all interest accrued thereon), an amount equal to fifty percent (50.0%) of the Qualifying Proceeds in connection with such Qualifying Transaction. Borrower shall give Bank prior written notice of the Qualifying Transaction or of the potential occurrence of a Qualifying Transaction (it being understood that such notice shall not constitute any assurance that the potential Qualifying Transaction will in fact occur and Borrower shall not be deemed to be in default of this Agreement should such potential Qualifying Transaction not occur), in any event, no later than the date of Borrower’s receipt of any portion of such Qualifying Proceeds. Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days if requested by Bank by notice to Borrower given within sixty (60) days of Bank’s receipt of the above-referenced notice from Borrower, make such prepayment. For the sake of clarity, if, from time to time, Borrower receives an additional portion from such Qualifying Proceeds, then the above notice requirement and other provisions apply equally to such additional Qualifying Proceeds.
(ii) In the event that, after the First LMA Closing Date, Borrower makes a distribution to all of its shareholders (by way of dividend or otherwise) (without limiting any provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 7.6, provided however that no such distribution shall be made unless and until Borrower receives notice from Bank as provided below (or Bank fails to give such notice within the fourteen (14) day period for Bank to give notice as provided below)), whether with respect to Qualifying Proceeds or otherwise, Borrower shall notify Bank thereof simultaneously with its notice to the public declaring the distribution (and in any case, at least fourteen (14) days prior to the date of the proposed distribution), and Borrower shall, simultaneously with the making of the distribution if requested by Bank by notice to Borrower given within fourteen (14) days of Bank’s receipt of the above-referenced notice from Borrower, repay the outstanding principal amount of 2013 Term Loan Advances (plus all interest accrued thereon) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100.0%) of such distribution.
(iii) In the event of an early prepayment whether at the request of Bank pursuant to Section 2.1.2(f)(i) above or at the request of Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1.2(d) above (the amount of principal and interest actually repaid in each such event, the “Early Prepayment Amount”), then Borrower shall be entitled to make a distribution to its shareholders in the aggregate amount up to the Early Prepayment Amount without the obligation to make any payment to Bank pursuant to Section 2.1.2(f)(ii) above (for the avoidance of doubt, Borrower would still be required to give Bank notice of such distribution in accordance with Section 2.1.2(f)(ii)).
(iv) Notwithstanding the aforesaid, in no event shall any amount repaid by Borrower to Bank pursuant to the mandatory prepayment under this Section 2.1.2(f) exceed the then existing outstanding principal amount of 2013 Term Loan Advances (plus all interest accrued thereon).”
