At the closing, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Commercialization Agreement.

In connection with, and as a condition to, consummation of such transactions, the Company entered into a Consent and Sixth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the “Consent and Amendment”) with Silicon Valley Bank, a California corporation (“SVB”), to amend that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of August 28, 2012, as previously amended from time to time (as so amended, the “Loan and Security Agreement”). The Consent and Amendment provides the Company with a new term loan facility in an original principal amount of $11,500,000 (the “New Term Loan”), which replaces the Company’s existing term loan facility (the “Existing Term Loan”) and the proceeds of which will be used by the Company to (i) finance certain payment obligations under the Commercialization Agreement and (ii) to repay the balance of the Existing Term Loan. The Consent and Amendment also provides SVB’s consent with respect to various transactions contemplated by the Commercialization Agreement , including the delivery by SVB of a standby letter of credit in an aggregate amount of $33,750,000.

The New Term Loan bears interest at a rate per annum of 0.75% above the prime rate (as defined in the Consent and Amendment). The Company will repay the New Term Loan in equal consecutive monthly installments of principal plus monthly payments of accrued interest, commencing on July 1, 2019, provided that, if the Company achieves EBITDA (as defined in the Consent and Amendment) in excess of $2,500,000 for two (2) consecutive calendar quarters prior to June 30, 2019, such payments will commence on January 1, 2020. All outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the New Term Loan, and all other outstanding obligations with respect to the New Term Loan, are due and payable in full on December 1, 2022. The Company may prepay the New Term Loan, in full but not in part, with a prepayment fee of (i) 3.0% of the outstanding principal balance prior to the first anniversary of the Consent and Amendment, (ii) 2.0% of the outstanding principal balance following the first anniversary of the Consent and Amendment and prior to the second anniversary of the Consent and Amendment and (iii) 1.0% of the outstanding principal balance following the second anniversary of the Consent and Amendment, plus, in each case, a final payment fee of $718,750.

Under the Consent and Amendment, the Company will be required to maintain a liquidity ratio of at least 2.0 to 1.0. Any amounts outstanding during the continuance of any event of default under the Consent and Amendment will bear additional interest at the per annum rate of 5.0%.

The foregoing summary of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment which the Company expects to file as an exhibit to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2017 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and which is incorporated by reference herein.
