Appendix 1
Repayment Plan
Guarantors and Jupiter shall repay the outstanding amounts owing from any Guarantor and Jupiter to Seller as follows:
1. | Definitions: |
a. | “Outstanding Balance”: For the purposes of this Appendix 1, the term “Outstanding Balance” shall mean, as of the last day of the then most recently ended calendar month, the sum of (a) the aggregate dollar amount of all Invoices owing from any Guarantor or Jupiter to Seller which have not been paid within 90 days of such Invoice’s date, and (b) without duplication of any amounts included in clause (a), the aggregate dollar amount of all Invoices owing from any Guarantor or Jupiter to Seller, regardless of the date of such Invoice, in excess of $25,000,000. |
b. | “Credit Line”: For the purposes of this Appendix 1, the term “Credit Line” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the aggregate dollar amount of all Invoices owing from any Guarantor or Jupiter to Seller. |
2. | Interest. |
a. | The Outstanding Balance shall bear interest at a rate of 8.00% per annum. |
b. | All computations of interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual days elapsed. |
c. | Under no circumstances shall the interest rate and other charges hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such a court determines that Xxxxxx has received interest and other charges hereunder in excess of the highest rate applicable hereto, such excess shall be deemed received on account of, and shall automatically be applied to reduce the Outstanding Balance, and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for the highest permissible rate. If there is no Outstanding Balance, Seller shall refund to Jupiter and the Guarantors such excess. |
d. | Interest shall accrue on the Outstanding Balance each day that an Outstanding Balance exists. |
e. | Interest shall accrue on the Credit Line, as applicable and in accordance with the terms of this Annex 1, from the date any Guarantor or Jupiter is required to make a payment to Seller pursuant to the terms of this Annex 1, to the date such payment is made to Seller in accordance with Section 6 of this Annex 1. |
f. | All accrued but unpaid interest on the Outstanding Balance and Credit Line, as applicable, shall be due and payable, in arrears, on or before the last day of the month following the month in which such interest accrued, or such later date as Seller may determine in its sole discretion. |
3. | Temporary Increase Repayment. Guarantors and Jupiter shall, on or before April 30, 2024, cause the Credit Line as of such date to be no greater than $31,000,000. |
4. | Line Reduction Commitment. Guarantors and Jupiter shall, as of each date set forth below and each day thereafter, cause the Credit Line to be no greater than: |
a. | $29,000,000, as of June 30, 2024; |
b. | $27,000,000, as of September 30, 2024; and |
c. | $25,000,000, as of December 31, 2024. |
5. | Default Event. In the event that any Guarantor fails to pay or perform any of the aforementioned terms, it will constitute a “Repayment Event of Default”. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Repayment Event of Default, at Seller’s option, the entire dollar amount of the Credit Line in excess of any insurance payments actually received by Seller in connection with any Invoices shall bear interest at the rate set forth in Section 2 of this Appendix 1. The rights conferred by this Section 4 are in supplement of and in addition to and not in substitution for any other rights or powers Smoore may have from time to time under this Repayment Plan, the side letter Agreement, the Transaction Documents any other related agreements, and under applicable law. |
6. | Payments. All payments due hereunder shall be made available to Seller in immediately available funds not later than the specified due date of any such payment, to the address specified by Seller from time to time by notice to Guarantors and Jupiter. |
7. | Mutual Agreement. The terms of this Repayment Plan are mutually agreed upon by the Parties and constitute an integral part of the side letter agreement. |
