Exhibit 10.1
FIFTH AMENDMENT TO
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT AND CONSENT
This Fifth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement and Consent (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of September 16, 2014, between COMERICA BANK (“Bank”) and eGAIN CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, formerly known as eGain Communications Corporation (“Borrower”).
RECITALS
Borrower and Bank are parties to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of June 27, 2011, as it may be amended from time to time, including without limit by that certain First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of December 28, 2011, that certain Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of June 28, 2012, that certain Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of December 28, 2012 and that certain Fourth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement and Consent (as amended, the “Agreement”). The parties desire to amend the Agreement, in accordance with the terms of this Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. Consent.
(a) Under Section 7.3 of the Agreement, Borrower is prohibited from acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of another Person if, among other things, the acquisition cost exceeds Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000). Borrower desires to acquire substantially all of the ownership interests of Exony Limited (“Seller”) for an amount in excess of $250,000 under the terms of a Shareholder Purchase Agreement between Borrower and Seller (the “Purchase Agreement”). The transactions described in the Purchase Agreement are referred to as the “Transaction”. Borrower has requested that Bank consent to the Transaction and waive any Event of Default which would arise under the Agreement as a result of the Transaction.
(b) Bank hereby consents to the Transaction and waives any Event of Default which would arise under the Agreement as a result of the Transaction so long as (1) it is consummated in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement previously provided by Borrower to Bank and (2) no default or Event of Default has occurred under any of the Loan Documents prior to the consummation of the Transaction or would result after giving effect thereto.
(c) Except as specifically set forth herein, this consent shall not be deemed to amend or alter in any respect the terms and conditions of the Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or to constitute a waiver or release by Bank of any right, remedy, Collateral, default or Event of Default under the Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except to the extent specifically set forth herein. This consent shall not act as a consent to any other transaction, act or omission, whether related or unrelated thereto and shall not extend to or affect any obligation, covenant or agreement not expressly consented hereto. Furthermore, this consent shall not affect in any manner whatsoever any rights or remedies of Bank with respect to any other non-compliance by Borrower with the Agreement or the other Loan Documents, whether in the nature of a default or Event of Default, and whether now in existence or subsequently arising, and shall not apply to any other transaction.
2. Section 6.6 of the Agreement is amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
“6.6 Accounts. Borrower shall maintain all its depository, operating and investment accounts with Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be permitted to maintain accounts with financial institutions other than Bank provided that at least seventy percent (70%) of all of Borrower’s cash is maintained in accounts at Bank at all times (“Minimum Cash Requirement”). If at any time Borrower does not meet the Minimum Cash Requirement, Borrower shall have five (5) days to comply with the Minimum Cash Requirement and provide evidence satisfactory to Bank of such compliance. If Borrower fails to comply with the Minimum Cash Requirement for five (5) consecutive days, an Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred.”
3. Section 6.7(a) of the Agreement is amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
“(a) Bank Debt Liquidity Coverage. A ratio of (i) the sum of Borrower’s Cash held at Bank plus all Eligible Bank Debt Liquidity Coverage Accounts, to (ii) all Indebtedness to Bank of at least (A) 1.25 to 1.00 for the months ending July 31, 2014 through September 30, 2014 and (B) 2.00 to 1.00 for the months ending October 31, 2014 and thereafter. As used herein, ‘Eligible Bank Debt Liquidity Coverage Account’ means a consolidated Account of Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries that has been billed and is not owing more than ninety (90) days after the date of the original invoice or other writing evidencing such Account.”
4. Exhibit E to the Agreement is deleted and replaced with Exhibit E attached hereto.
5. No course of dealing on the part of Bank or its officers, nor any failure or delay in the exercise of any right by Bank, shall operate as a waiver thereof, and any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude any later exercise of any such right. Bank’s failure at any time to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision shall not affect any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance. Any suspension or waiver of a right must be in writing signed by an officer of Bank.
6. Unless otherwise defined, all initially capitalized terms in this Amendment shall be as defined in the Agreement. The Agreement, as amended hereby, shall be and remains in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and hereby is ratified and confirmed in all respects. Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of, or as an amendment of, any right, power, or remedy of Bank under the Agreement, as in effect prior to the date hereof.
7. Borrower waives, discharges, and forever releases Bank, Bank’s employees, officers, directors, attorneys, stockholders, and their successors and assigns, from and of any and all claims, causes of action, allegations or assertions that Borrower has or may have had at any time up through and including the date of this Amendment, against any or all of the foregoing, regardless of whether any such claims, causes of action, allegations or assertions are known to Borrower or whether any such claims, causes of action, allegations or assertions arose as result of Bank’s actions or omissions in connection with the Loan Documents, or any amendments, extensions or modifications thereto, or Bank’s administration of the Obligations or otherwise. BORROWER WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, AS IT MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, WHICH STATES:
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.
8. Borrower represents and warrants that the Representations and Warranties contained in the Agreement are true and correct as of the date of this Amendment, and that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
9. As a condition to the effectiveness of this Amendment, Bank shall have received, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, the following:
(a) |
this Amendment, executed by Borrower; |
(b) |
Corporation Resolutions and Incumbency Certification (Authority to Procure Loans); |
(c) |
copies of documents related to the Transaction; |
(d) |
all Bank Expenses incurred through the date of this Amendment, which may be debited from any of Borrower’s accounts at Bank; and |
(e) |
such other documents, and completion of such other matters, as Bank may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate. |
10. This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
