WHEREAS, Assignee desires to purchase from Lender, and Lender is amenable to selling and assigning to Assignee, Assignor’s right, title and interest in and to the monetary obligations evidenced by the Original Note, or portions thereof (or any replacement notes issued in replacement thereof as hereby contemplated, as applicable) (the “Assigned Debt”), which Assigned Debt shall be purchased by Assignee in multiple tranches as more specifically hereinafter set forth; and
WHEREAS, on or prior to each “Purchase Tranche Closing” (as hereinafter defined), as directed by Lender, the Borrower agrees to sever, split, divide and apportion the Original Note (or any replacement notes issued in replacement thereof as hereby contemplated, as applicable) into two separate and distinct replacement notes, each in substantially the form as set forth on Exhibit “A” attached hereto (the “Note Form”), one for the amount of the portion of the Assigned Debt being sold and assigned at such Purchase Tranche Closing (the portion of the Assigned Debt being sold and assigned at each separate Purchase Tranche Closing, as applicable, being referred to as the “Applicable Assigned Debt”), and one for the remaining amount of the overall debt evidenced by the Credit Agreement and the Original Note (or any replacement notes issued in replacement thereof as hereby contemplated, as applicable) (after the initial Purchase Tranche Closing, and receipt of the Applicable Purchase Price for such initial Purchase Tranche by Lender, and assignment of such Applicable Assigned Debt to Holder as hereby contemplated, such Applicable Assigned Debt, as then owned and held by Assignee, shall be evidenced by that certain senior replacement convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $1,201,441.25 (as of February 14, 2017) issued by Borrower to Assignee on the Effective Date (the “Assignee Replacement Note”);
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and agreed, Assignor, Assignee, and Borrower hereby covenant and agree as follows:
1. Recitals. The recitations set forth in the preamble of this Agreement are true and correct and incorporated herein by this reference.
2. Agreement to Assign Assigned Debt.
(a) Purchase Tranche Closings. Provided there is no default or breach under this Agreement, and that no event has occurred that, with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default or breach under this Agreement, and subject to all the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Assignor hereby agrees to sell and assign to Assignee, and Assignee hereby agrees to purchase from Assignor, the Assigned Debt, which Assigned Debt shall be sold in multiple separate tranches (each of such tranches hereinafter referred to as a “Purchase Tranche”), each of such separate Purchase Tranches to be sold and assigned on the respective dates and for the respective amounts set forth in the schedule attached hereto as Exhibit “B” (each closing of a Purchase Tranche referred to as a “Purchase Tranche Closing” and the purchase price to be paid for each Applicable Assigned Debt at each Purchase Tranche Closing, as shown on such attached schedule, referred to as the “Applicable Purchase Price”); provided, however, nothing herein shall prevent Assignee from electing to purchase a greater portion of the Assigned Debt, or more frequently, than that set forth in the attached schedule for any given Purchase Tranche Closing, up to the aggregate amount of the Assigned Debt, by written notice to Assignor delivered prior to the applicable Purchase Tranche Closing.
(b) Deliveries at Each Purchase Tranche Closing. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, at each Purchase Tranche Closing: (i) Lender shall execute and deliver to Assignee, an assignment of the Applicable Assigned Debt being sold and assigned at such Purchase Tranche Closing, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “C” (each, an “Assignment”); (ii) Lender shall deliver to Assignee the original replacement note for the Applicable Assigned Debt being sold and assigned at such Purchase Tranche Closing (subject to receipt of same by Lender from Borrower as provided in Section 2(c) below); and (iii) Assignee shall pay to Lender the Applicable Purchase Price for the Applicable Assigned Debt being sold and assigned at such Purchase Tranche Closing, by wire transfer of good and cleared U.S. currency to an account designated by Lender.
(c) Borrower’s Obligation to Sever Notes. On or prior to each Purchase Tranche Closing, and within no later than two (2) business days after request therefor is made by Lender to Borrower, the Borrower agrees to sever, split, divide and apportion the Original Note (or any replacement notes issued in replacement thereof as hereby contemplated, as applicable) into two separate and distinct and newly issued replacement notes, each substantially in the Note Form. One of such replacement notes shall be for a principal amount equal to the Applicable Purchase Price corresponding to the Applicable Assigned Debt for the applicable Purchase Tranche Closing, and the other replacement note shall be for a principal amount equal to the remaining amount of the overall debt then existing and evidenced by the Credit Agreement and the Original Note (or any replacement notes issued in replacement thereof as hereby contemplated, as applicable). In order to clarify the foregoing, as an example, on or prior to the first Purchase Tranche Closing contemplated hereby, upon request by Lender, the Borrower shall provide to Lender two replacement notes in replacement of the Original Note, one for $325,000, which is the Applicable Purchase Price for the Applicable Assigned Debt being sold and assigned at the first Purchase Tranche Closing, and the second for $876,441.25 (as of February 14, 2017), which is the amount of the overall debt evidenced by the Credit Agreement and the Original Note, less the Applicable Purchase Price for the replacement note being sold and assigned at the first Purchase Tranche Closing. This second replacement note shall then be severed in the same manner for the second Purchase Tranche Closing, and this foregoing process of severing and issuing replacement notes shall be repeated for each Purchase Tranche Closing, until the Assigned Debt is sold and assigned in full, or this Agreement is otherwise earlier terminated in accordance with its terms. Assignee acknowledges and understands that Lender’s obligation to sell, assign and deliver each original replacement note representing the Applicable Assigned Debt at each Purchase Tranche Closing is subject to and conditioned upon Borrower executing and delivering such replacement notes to Lender in accordance with this Agreement.
2 |
(d) Remaining Debt. Assignee and Borrower acknowledge that at each Purchase Tranche Closing, and subject to Lender’s receipt of the Applicable Purchase Price, only the Applicable Assigned Debt represented by the specific replacement note representing the applicable Purchase Tranche shall be deemed sold and assigned hereunder, it being acknowledged by Assignee and by Borrower that the remaining portion of the debt evidenced by the Credit Agreement and the Original Note (or any replacement notes issued in replacement thereof as hereby contemplated, as applicable) for which the Applicable Purchase Price has not been paid and received by Lender (collectively, the “Remaining Debt”) shall not be sold or assigned thereby unless and until additional replacement notes for additional Purchase Tranches are thereafter sold in accordance with this Agreement and the Applicable Purchase Price therefor is received by Lender.
(e) No Security Rights. Assignee and Borrower each hereby agree and acknowledge that the sale, transfer and assignment of the Assigned Debt, or any portion thereof, shall be a sale, transfer and assignment of the monetary obligations evidenced by such Assigned Debt (or portion thereof) only, and shall not include, and such sale, transfer and assignment expressly excludes, the Remaining Debt, as well as excluding any and all security rights, rights to any collateral, or any other security interests or rights of Assignor of any nature or kind related to, arising under, or pursuant to, the Credit Agreement, any other “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Credit Agreement) related thereto, or any other security agreements, UCC financing statements, or any other documents or instruments relating to the obligations of the Borrower or any “Guarantors” (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to Assignor (collectively, the “Security Rights”), it being agreed and acknowledged that all Security Rights shall remain with Assignor, as security for any portion of the Assigned Debt not assigned at any Purchase Tranche Closing, the Remaining Debt, or any other obligations of Borrower or any Guarantors to Assignor.
3. Conditions to Additional Purchases.
(a) Initial Purchase. The initial Purchase Tranche contemplated hereunder shall be closed and funded simultaneous with the execution of this Agreement by Lender, Assignee and Borrower.
(b) Subsequent Purchases. If the first Purchase Tranche Closing is consummated hereunder, and the Applicable Purchase Price therefor is paid and received by Lender as contemplated under this Agreement, then Assignee’s obligation to purchase any additional Purchase Tranches as hereby contemplated is a binding and continuing obligation of Assignee; provided, however, Assignee shall have the right to terminate such obligation at any time during the term of this Agreement upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each a “Trigger Event”): (i) the Borrower fails to stay current in its filing obligations with the SEC; (ii) trading of the Borrower’s Common Stock on the “Principal Trading Market” (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is stopped or halted for any reason; (iii) any suspension of electronic trading or settlement services by the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) with respect to the Common Stock occurs and is continuing, or any receipt by the Borrower of any notice from DTC to the effect that a suspension of electronic trading or settlement services by DTC with respect to the Common Stock is being imposed or is contemplated (unless, prior to such suspension, DTC shall have notified the Borrower in writing that DTC has determined not to impose any such suspension); (iv) the Borrower’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) fails to issue to Assignee any shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock which may be due to Assignee in connection with any conversion rights exercised by Assignee under any promissory notes purchased by Assignee hereunder, or notes issued in replacement thereof; (v) the Borrower fails to maintain its active status with its State of organization; (vi) Borrower shall default (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods) in any of their obligations to Assignee under the promissory notes purchased by Assignee hereunder, or notes issued in replacement thereof, or any other obligations of Borrower to Assignee; or (vii) the Borrower fails to maintain any share reserve required by Assignee. Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, in the event Assignee desires to terminate its obligation to purchase Purchase Tranches as hereby contemplated, Assignee shall deliver to Lender written notice of such termination delivered within five (5) days of the date the Assignee becomes aware of the occurrence of the Trigger Event (which notice shall include a statement of the Trigger Event that has occurred and reasonable evidence of the occurrence thereof), whereupon Assignee’s obligation to purchase any additional Purchase Tranches thereafter shall immediately terminate and be of no further force or effect.
