ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

 

As previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 31, 2019, on January 28, 2019, Purple Innovation, LLC (“Purple LLC”), the operating subsidiary of the Company, entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) among Purple LLC, Coliseum Capital Partners, L.P. (“CCP”), Blackwell Partners LLC – Series A (“Blackwell”), and Coliseum Co-Invest Debt Fund, L.P. (“CDF” and together with CCP and Blackwell, the “Lenders”), which First Amendment amends the Credit Agreement dated as of February 2, 2018 (the “Current Credit Agreement”). In the First Amendment, Purple LLC agreed, subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders, to enter into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), under which, among other things, the Lenders agreed to provide an incremental loan of $10.0 million.

 

On February 25, 2019, the Company’s stockholders approved Purple LLC’s entry into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the other transactions contemplated thereby. On February 26, 2019, Purple LLC and the Lenders entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and consummated the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Closing”). In connection with the Closing, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, Amended and Restated Parent Guaranty, Guarantor Security Agreement and IP Security Agreement, and issued warrants to the Lenders, each as described in greater detail below.

 

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

 

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates the Current Credit Agreement to, among other things, do the following:

 

  provide an additional $10.0 million of indebtedness to Purple LLC, funded by CCP and Blackwell, such that the total amount of principal indebtedness provided to Purple LLC is increased to $35.0 million (the “Incremental Loan”);

  

  extend the maturity date to the five-year anniversary of the satisfaction of the closing conditions contained in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, including but not limited to, the approval of the stockholders of the Company at a special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) of the Company’s stockholders;

 

  revise certain restrictive covenants to make them more applicable to Purple LLC’s current business;

 

  provide the ability for Purple LLC to request additional loans from the Lenders in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $10 million (each, an “Additional Loan”), subject to the Approval Condition (as defined below), the agreement of one or more of the Lenders, and the issuance of warrants (the “Additional Loan Warrants”), the terms of which are described in greater detail below, to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Stock”), in single or multiple drawings and otherwise on identical terms and conditions as the Incremental Loan, with certain exceptions. The term “Approval Condition” means that Purple LLC has elected to request Additional Loans and has received the approval for such request from (x) a majority of the independent directors of the Board, (y) to the extent such individuals are on the Board at the time of such request, and such loan is funded by a fund or account managed by Coliseum Capital Management, LLC  (a “Coliseum Managed Account”), Tony Pearce and Terry Pearce, and (z) if at the time of such request, such loan is provided by a Coliseum Managed Account and InnoHold, LLC owns at least one-third of the Class A Stock and the Company’s Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, members’ equity or other ownership interest of the Company not held by a Coliseum Managed Account or its affiliates, InnoHold, LLC. Prior to the funding of any Additional Loan, there must have been no material adverse change in the financial condition of the Company and no default or event of default shall have occurred and be continuing;

 

1  

 

 

  grant a security interest to the Lenders in substantially all of the assets (subject to certain limited exceptions) of Purple LLC to secure Purple LLC’s obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the other agreements contemplated thereby (including all outstanding loans as of the date of the First Amendment, the Incremental Loan, and any Additional Loans), subject to certain exceptions, including a security interest in the intellectual property owned by Purple LLC and the intellectual property licenses held by Purple LLC pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and an Intellectual Property Security Agreement between the Company, Purple LLC, Delaware Trust Company (the “Agent”) and the Lenders (the “IP Security Agreement”);

 

  require the Company to enter into an Amended and Restated Parent Guaranty (the “Amended and Restated Parent Guaranty”) pursuant to which the Company will provide an unconditional guaranty of the payment of all obligations and liabilities of Purple LLC under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement;

 

  appoint the Delaware Trust as collateral agent under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement; and

 

  provide for closing conditions, representations, warranties and covenants customary for a transaction of this type.

 

 The Incremental Loan bears interest at 12.0% per annum, provided that Purple LLC is required to pay up to an additional 4.0% of interest per annum if it fails to meet the EBITDA thresholds set forth in Section 1.2(a) of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and an additional 2.0% of interest per annum if the Company is not in material compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Any pre-payments in the first year are subject to a make-whole payment, while pre-payments in years two, three and four are subject to pre-payment penalties of 6.0%, 4.0% and 2.0%, respectively. In addition, Purple LLC may elect for interest in excess of 5.0% per annum to be capitalized and added to the principal amount. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements provide for certain remedies to the Lenders in the event of customary events of default.

 

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also provides for standard indemnification of the Lenders and contains representations, warranties and certain covenants of Purple LLC. While any amounts are outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, Purple LLC is subject to a number of affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants regarding dispositions of property, investments, forming or acquiring subsidiaries, business combinations or acquisitions, incurrence of additional indebtedness and transactions with affiliates, among other customary covenants. In particular, Purple LLC is restricted from (i) making capital expenditures in excess of $20 million annually, (ii) incurring capital lease obligations in excess of $10 million, (iii) incurring asset-based loans in excess of $10 million, subject to limited exceptions, and (iv) permitting EBITDA to be less than certain thresholds at certain measurement dates. Purple LLC is also restricted from paying dividends or making other distributions or payments on its capital stock, subject to limited exceptions.

 

In addition, the Company issued to the Lenders warrants (the “Incremental Loan Warrants”) to purchase 2,613,240 shares of the Company’s Class A Stock at a price of $5.74 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The terms of the Warrants are described in greater detail below.

 

If the Lenders provide an Additional Loan under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company will issue to the Lenders Additional Loan Warrants. Such Additional Loan Warrants will be issued on the same terms as those described under the heading “Incremental Loan Warrants” below, other than the exercise period of the warrants, the exercise price of the warrants and the number of shares of Class A Stock underlying the warrants.

 

The exercise period for any Additional Loan Warrant will be ten years from the date of issuance of such Additional Loan Warrant.

 

2  

 

 

The exercise price of each Additional Loan Warrant shall be the lower of (i) $5.74 per share of Class A Stock and (ii) the average of the VWAP for the 10 trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date the Additional Loan Warrants are issued; provided that in no event will the initial exercise price of any Additional Loan Warrant be less than $1.00. “VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Class A Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Class A Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Class A Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a trading day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if the Class A Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on any Trading Market and if prices for the Class A Stock are then reported on the OTC Bulletin Board or in the “Pink Sheets” published by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Class A Stock so reported, or (c) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Class A Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company; and “Trading Market” means any of the following markets or exchanges on which the Class A Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, or the Nasdaq Global Select Market (or any successors to any of the foregoing).

 

The number of shares of Class A Stock issuable upon the exercise of an Additional Loan Warrant shall be equal to (i) 1.5 multiplied by the principal dollar amount of an Additional Loan, divided by (ii) the exercise price. As a result of the minimum initial exercise price of $1.00 per share of Class A Stock under the Additional Loan Warrants, the maximum number of shares of Class A Stock into which Additional Loan Warrants will be exercisable, if the full amount of Additional Loans are borrowed, is 15,000,000 shares of Class A Stock.

 

Any Additional Loan Warrants will be entitled to registration rights under a registration rights agreement having terms substantially similar to the Registration Rights Agreement for the Incremental Loan Warrants and shares of Class A Stock underlying the Incremental Loan Warrants.

 

After giving effect to the Closing of the transactions contemplated by the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Lenders beneficially own 5,958,772 shares of Class A Stock and warrants to purchase 6,926,630 shares of Class A Stock. If the Additional Loan is drawn in full and all available Additional Loan Warrants are issued at the lowest initial exercise price of $1.00 per share, the Lenders will beneficially acquire up to an additional 15,000,000 warrants to purchase a total of up to 15,000,000 shares of Class A Stock, resulting in ownership by the Lenders of up to 21,926,630 shares of Class A Stock.

 

The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are made only for purposes of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and as of specific dates; are solely for the benefit of the parties to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement; and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made by each contracting party to the other for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between them that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company or the Lenders or any of their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, businesses or stockholders. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures or statements by the Company or the Lenders. Accordingly, investors should read the representations and warranties in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement not in isolation but only in conjunction with the other information about the Company or the Lenders and their respective subsidiaries that the respective companies include in reports, statements and other filings made with the SEC.

 

The foregoing summary of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Incremental Loan Warrants

 

In connection with the Closing and Purple LLC’s entry into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company issued to CCP and Blackwell, as the Lenders funding the Incremental Loan, the Incremental Loan Warrants on the terms described below.

 

3  

 

 

General . Each Incremental Loan Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A Stock at a price of $5.74 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below. The Incremental Loan Warrants expire on February 26, 2024, at 5:00 p.m., New York time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

 

Exercise . The Incremental Loan Warrants may be exercised by providing an executed notice of exercise form accompanied by full payment of the exercise price or on a cashless basis, if applicable. The holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Class A Stock or any voting rights until they exercise their Incremental Loan Warrants and receive shares of Class A Stock. After the issuance of shares of Class A Stock upon exercise of the Incremental Loan Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders generally. Upon 20 days’ prior written notice, the Company may, in its sole discretion, decrease the exercise price of the Incremental Loan Warrants at any time prior to the expiration of the Incremental Loan Warrants for a period of not less than 20 business days. In no event shall the exercise price be lowered by the Company to be less than $1.00.

 

  Redemption Right . Once the Incremental Loan Warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the Incremental Loan Warrants for redemption in whole and not in part at a price of $0.01 per share of Class A Stock issuable upon exercise of the Incremental Loan Warrants upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrantholder, provided that this redemption right is only available if the reported last sale price of the Class A Stock equals or exceeds $24.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrantholders. If the Company calls the Incremental Loan Warrants for redemption, it will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise his, her or its Incremental Loan Warrant to do so on a “cashless basis” by which the holders of Incremental Loan Warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their Incremental Loan Warrants for that number of shares of Class A Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A Stock underlying the Incremental Loan Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the Incremental Loan Warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below), by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” means the average reported last sale price of the Class A Stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Incremental Loan Warrants.

 

Beneficial Ownership Limitation . The warrantholders may elect to be subject to a requirement that such warrantholder will not have the right to exercise its Incremental Loan Warrants, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.8% (as specified by the holder) of the shares of Class A Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

 

Anti-Dilution Protection . If the number of outstanding shares of Class A Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Class A Stock, or by a split-up of shares of Class A Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Class A Stock issuable on exercise of each Incremental Loan Warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of Class A Stock. A rights offering to holders of Class A Stock entitling holders to purchase shares of Class A Stock at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a stock dividend of a number of shares of Class A Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Class A Stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for Class A Stock) multiplied by (ii) one (1) minus the quotient of (x) the price per share of Class A Stock paid in such rights offering divided by (y) the fair market value. For these purposes (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Class A Stock, in determining the price payable for Class A Stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) “fair market value” means the volume weighted average price of Class A Stock as reported during the ten trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the shares of Class A Stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

 

In addition, if the Company, at any time while the Incremental Loan Warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pays a dividend or makes a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of Class A Stock on account of such shares of Class A Stock (or other shares of our capital stock into which the warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described in the paragraph above or (b) certain ordinary cash dividends, then the Incremental Loan Warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each share of Class A Stock in respect of such event.

 

4  

 

 

If the number of outstanding shares of Class A Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of Class A Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Class A Stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Class A Stock.

 

Whenever the number of shares of Class A Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Incremental Loan Warrants is adjusted, as described in the paragraphs above, the Incremental Loan Warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the Incremental Loan Warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Class A Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Incremental Loan Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of Class A Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

 

Fundamental Transaction; Exercise Price Adjustment . In the event of a “fundamental transaction” the holder will have the right to purchase and receive the same kind and amount of consideration receivable by the stockholders of the Company in such fundamental transaction. The Company will cause the surviving company in a fundamental transaction to assume the obligations of the Company under the Incremental Loan Warrants. In addition, the holder may elect to either (i) have the exercise price of the warrant reduced by the Black-Scholes value of the Incremental Loan Warrants (as set forth in the Incremental Loan Warrants) or (ii) cause the Company or its successor to repurchase all or a portion of the Incremental Loan Warrants at the Black-Scholes value (as set forth in the Incremental Loan Warrants). For purposes of the Incremental Loan Warrants, a “fundamental transaction” includes, subject to certain exceptions, any reclassification or reorganization of the Company, any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, any merger or consolidation with (but not into) another corporation in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the merger or consolidation own less than a majority of the outstanding stock of the surviving entity, any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets or other property of the Company, and any group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) consummates a tender, exchange or redemption offer after which such group beneficially owns more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Class A Stock of the Company.

 

Additionally, the exercise price of the warrant will be reduced by the Black-Scholes value of the Incremental Loan Warrants (as set forth in the Incremental Loan Warrants) in the event (a) any person (other than the holders of the Incremental Loan Warrants and their affiliates), together with members of any group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) of which such person is a part, and together with any affiliate or associate of such person (within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) and any members of any such group of which any such affiliate or associate is a part, becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, through purchase, merger or other acquisition transaction or series of transactions, securities of the Company entitling such person or group to exercise 25% or more of the total voting power of all voting securities of the Company, (b) Tony Pearce or Terry Pearce individually or together cease beneficially to own at least 50% of the voting securities of the Company, or (c) the Board ceases to be comprised of a majority of independent directors (as defined under NASDAQ rules) for a period of longer than 60 consecutive days.

 

Amendments . The Incremental Loan Warrants provide that the terms of the Incremental Loan Warrants may be amended only in a writing signed by the Company and the holder.

 

The issuance of the Incremental Loan Warrants does not affect the rights of our existing security holders, other than with respect to potential dilution as a result of an increase in the number of shares of Class A Stock outstanding if the Lenders exercise the Incremental Loan Warrants.

 

The foregoing summary of the Incremental Loan Warrants does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Incremental Loan Warrants, a form of which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 to this report and is incorporated by reference herein.

Registration Rights Agreement

 

In connection with the Closing and Purple LLC’s entry into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) providing for the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) of the Incremental Loan Warrants and the shares of Class A Stock underlying the Incremental Loan Warrants, subject to customary terms and conditions. The Registration Rights Agreement entitles the warrantholders to demand registration of these securities and also to piggyback on the registration of Company securities by the Company and other existing Company securityholders.

 

The Registration Rights Agreement provides that on or prior to March 29, 2019, the Company will be required to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act a registration statement to register the resale of the Incremental Loan Warrants and the shares of Class A Stock underlying the Incremental Loan Warrants.

The foregoing summary of the Amended and Restated Parent Guaranty does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Amended and Restated Parent Guaranty, which is attached as Exhibit 10.4 to this report and is incorporated by reference herein.

The foregoing summary of the Guarantor Security Agreement is subject, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Guarantor Security Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.5 to this report and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

IP Security Agreement

Article I
CREDIT TERMS

 

Section 1.1. LOAN.

 

(a) Loan . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (i) Lenders have made ratably according to their respective loan percentages for the Original Loan set forth on Schedule 1.1-A hereto (on a several and not joint basis), a loan to Borrower on the Original Closing Date (as defined below), in an aggregate principal amount of Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000.00) (the “Original Loan”), the proceeds of which were used to finance Borrower’s working capital requirements and general corporate purposes, (ii) Lenders hereby agree to make ratably, according to their respective loan percentages for the Incremental Loan set forth on Schedule 1.1-B hereto, an incremental loan on the Incremental Funding Date (as defined below) in an aggregate principal amount of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) (the “Incremental Loan”) and (iii) at any time after the funding of the Incremental Loan and prior to the Maturity Date, the Lenders may, at the request of Borrower so long as the Borrower has satisfied the Approval Conditions (as defined below), agree to provide additional loans (the “Additional Loans” and, together with the Original Loan and the Incremental Loan, collectively, the “Loan” or “Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount to not to exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) (the “Additional Loan Amount”), which Additional Loans may be funded hereunder in a single drawing or multiple drawings (provided that amounts borrowed under the Additional Loan Amount that are prepaid or repaid may not be reborrowed) subject only to the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 hereof and shall otherwise be on identical terms and conditions as the Loans previously provided hereunder; provided , that (a) each Lender party hereto at the time of such Additional Loan incurrence shall be permitted to participate in such Additional Loans on a pro rata basis based on such Lender’s aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans hereunder (giving effect to any applicable increase hereunder resulting from Borrower’s election to pay in kind interest in accordance herewith), provided , however , that no Lender shall be required to participate in any such Additional Loans and, to the extent any Lender declines to participate in all or a portion of such Lender’s pro rata share of the Additional Loan (a “Declined Amount”), each other Lender hereunder shall be permitted (but not obligated) to increase its Additional Loans by its pro rata share of such Declined Amount or a greater amount if any Lender declines to participate in the Declined Amount and (b) the indebtedness permitted to be incurred by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.3(e) hereof shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of any Additional Loan provided hereunder (for the avoidance of doubt, there shall not be a corresponding reduction of the Additional Loan Amount permitted to be incurred hereunder in connection with any Asset Based Credit Facility incurred by Borrower pursuant to such Section 5.3(e)). As used herein, the “Approval Condition” means that Borrower has elected to request Additional Loans pursuant to Section 1.1(a)(iii) hereof and has received the approval for such request from (x) a majority of the independent directors of the Board of Directors of Parent Guarantor, (y) to the extent such individuals are on the Board of Directors of Parent Guarantor at the time of such request, and such loan is funded by a fund or account managed by Coliseum Capital Management, LLC (a “Coliseum Managed Account”), Tony Pearce and Terry Pearce and (z) if at the time of such request, such loan is provided by a Coliseum Managed Account and Innohold, LLC owns at least one-third of the common stock, members’ equity or other ownership interest of Parent Guarantor not held by a Coliseum Managed Account or its affiliates, Innohold, LLC. Upon any such funding of Additional Loans, the Borrower shall deliver an updated Schedule 1.1 to the Lenders and Collateral Agent reflecting such Additional Loans.

 

 

 

 

(b) Repayment; Mandatory Prepayments .

 

  (i) Following the first anniversary of the Incremental Funding Date, Borrower may partially or wholly repay its outstanding Loans hereunder subject to concurrent payment of any applicable Prepayment Premium, calculated on the amount prepaid. For purposes of the foregoing, “Prepayment Premium” shall mean (a) 6.00% on any date during the second year following the Incremental Funding Date, (b) 4.00% on any date during the third year following the Incremental Funding Date, (c) 2.00% on any date during the fourth year following the Incremental Funding Date and (d) thereafter, 0%. The remaining outstanding principal amount of the Loan shall be repaid in full on the fifth anniversary of the Incremental Funding Date (the “Maturity Date”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event that Borrower desires to prepay the Loan on or prior to the first anniversary of the Incremental Funding Date, such prepayment shall be permitted subject to the concurrent payment of the applicable Make-Whole Amount (as defined below).

 

“Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any prepayment of the Loan pursuant to the terms of this Agreement at any time during the first year following the Incremental Funding Date, an amount equal to the sum of (a) the present value (discounted at a rate per annum equal to the rate on five-year U.S. treasury bills at the time of prepayment as reasonably selected by Lenders plus 50 basis points) of the unpaid interest that would have accrued through the first anniversary of the Incremental Funding Date as though the full amount of the Loans had been funded on the Incremental Funding Date and had remained outstanding during such one-year period plus (b) a prepayment premium equal to 6% of the amount prepaid.

 

- 2 -

 

 

  (ii) In addition, within five (5) business days following receipt of Net Proceeds (as defined below), Borrower shall make an offer to Lenders to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loan by such amount. Lenders shall thereafter accept or reject such offer within three (3) business days, and such payment shall, if accepted, be made within one (1) business day following such acceptance.

 

For purposes of the foregoing, “Net Proceeds” means, without duplication: (v) (A) in the case of any sale, lease, transfer or otherwise disposition or conveyance of any asset of Borrower not permitted by Section 5.4, 100% of the net cash proceeds received by or on behalf of Borrower from such sale, lease, transfer or other disposition or conveyance and (B) 100% of any net cash payments received by or on behalf of, or paid to or for the account of, Borrower (other than in the ordinary course of business), in connection with insurance payments, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), that have not been reinvested by Borrower within twelve (12) months to purchase assets used or useful in the business of Borrower; provided that the amounts set forth in this clause (v) shall not constitute “Net Proceeds” until the aggregate amount of such net cash proceeds, for all sales, leases, transfers or other dispositions or conveyances and all insurance payments (taken as a whole) have exceed $200,000.00 in any fiscal year or $750,000.00 in the aggregate, (w) 100% of the net cash proceeds received by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with any incurrence of indebtedness that is not permitted to be incurred pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (x) 100% of any net cash payments received by or on behalf of, or paid to or for the account of, Borrower (other than in the ordinary course of business), in connection with condemnation events and indemnity payments, (y) 100% of the net cash proceeds received by or on behalf of Borrower as a result of Borrower’s issuance or sale of its stock and (z) 100% of any indemnification payments made to Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. For purposes of this definition, as to any event giving rise to net cash proceeds, the calculation of such net cash proceeds shall include netting for (i) the direct costs relating to the event giving rise to such proceeds (including, as applicable (x) sales commissions and (y) legal, accounting and investment banking fees, commissions and expenses) in each case to the extent paid to unaffiliated third parties, (ii) taxes paid or reasonably estimated by the Borrower to be payable as a result of such event (after taking into account any available tax credits or deductions and any tax sharing arrangements), and (iii) amounts required to be applied to the repayment of any Indebtedness secured by a Permitted Lien on the asset being disposed of in connection with such event.

 

(c) Change of Control Premium . In the event that all, or any portion, of the Loans is repaid (whether voluntarily, mandatorily, as a result of acceleration, or otherwise) (i) upon the occurrence of a Change of Control during the first year after the Incremental Funding Date, Borrower shall pay a fee to Lenders, ratably in accordance with their respective commitment percentages set forth on Schedule 1.1 hereto, equal to the present value (discounted at a rate equal to the rate on five-year U.S. treasury billed at the time of such Change of Control as reasonably selected by Lenders plus 50 basis points) of the unpaid interest that would have accrued through the first anniversary of the Incremental Funding Date as though the full amount of the Loans had been funded on the Incremental Funding Date and had remained outstanding during such one-year period or (ii) upon the occurrence of a Change of Control at any time after the first anniversary of the Incremental Funding Date, such repayment (whether voluntary, mandatory, as a result of acceleration, or otherwise) shall be subject to the applicable Prepayment Premium set forth in 1.1(b)(i) above.

Section 1.2. INTEREST.

 

(a) Interest . The outstanding principal balance of the Loans shall bear interest at the rate of interest of (i) initially, 12.0% per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) for the principal amount of the Loans and any overdue interest thereon and (ii) commencing with the first full fiscal quarter ending after the Incremental Funding Date, a rate of interest of 12.0% per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) plus such additional amounts (which additional amounts may be payable in cash or in kind) in any applicable fiscal quarter based on the EBITDA set forth in the most recent certificate delivered to the Lenders pursuant to Section 4.3 of this Agreement (any such additional interest determined based on the following pricing grid, “Additional Interest” and such pricing grid, the “Additional Interest Pricing Grid”):

 

Pricing Level EBITDA Additional Interest (per annum)
I Greater than or equal to $0.0 million 0.00%
II Greater than or equal to $(2.0) million but less than $0.00 million 1.00%
III Greater than or equal to $(5.0) million but less than $(2.0) million 2.00%
IV Less than $(5.0) million 4.00%

 

and (iii) such interest rate shall be further increased in an amount equal to 2.00% per annum (which may be payable in cash or in kind) with respect to any applicable fiscal period during which Parent Guarantor (as defined in Section 5.6 ) is not S-X Compliant (such Additional Interest, the “S-X Additional Interest”; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, such S-X Additional Interest shall be applicable only to such quarter during which Parent Guarantor is not S-X Compliant or has failed to deliver a Compliance Certificate in accordance with Section 4.3 hereof certifying as such). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if in connection with the preparation of the annual audited financial statements of the Borrower for any fiscal year, the Borrower determines that the Parent Guarantor was not S-X Compliant as to any fiscal quarter during such fiscal year as to which the Borrower previously certified that Parent Guarantor was S-X Compliant, then (a) the Borrower shall promptly notify the Lenders in writing of such determination, (b) S-X Additional Interest shall be deemed to have accrued and to apply retroactively to such relevant fiscal quarter and, if not paid in cash upon the giving of such notification by Borrower, to have been paid in kind and (c) the giving by the Borrower of such previous certification that Parent Guarantor was S-X Compliant shall not otherwise constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement or the Loan Documents. As used herein, “S-X Compliant” means the Parent Guarantor is in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 for the applicable fiscal quarter.

 

- 4 -

 

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for any applicable fiscal period with respect to which Borrower has failed to deliver a Compliance Certificate in accordance with Section 4.3, the Additional Interest with respect to such period shall be deemed to be the highest level (“Level IV”) in the Additional Interest Pricing Grid plus, in the case of any such fiscal period during which Parent Guarantor is required to be S-X Compliant, the S-X Additional Interest. Additional Interest shall be subject to increase or decrease effective as of the first Business Day immediately following the date the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 4.3 is delivered to the Lenders. In the event that any financial statement or certificate delivered pursuant to Section 4.3 is shown to be inaccurate at a time when this Agreement is in effect and unpaid Loans under this Agreement are outstanding (other than indemnities and other contingent obligations not yet due and payable), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher or lower rate of interest for any period (an “Applicable Period”) then the Additional Interest actually applied for such Applicable Period, then (i) Borrower shall promptly deliver to the Lenders a correct certificate required by Section 4.3 for such Applicable Period, (ii) (A) if such inaccuracy if corrected, would have resulted in a higher rate of Additional Interest, the Additional Interest shall be deemed to be such higher Additional Interest, and (B) Borrower shall pay upon five (5) Business Days after any Lender makes a written demand thereof, the accrued additional interest owing as a result of such increased Additional Interest for such Applicable Period and (iii) (A) if such inaccuracy if corrected, would have resulted in a lower rate of Additional Interest, the Additional Interest shall be deemed to be such lower Additional Interest, and (B) Borrower may credit to the future payments of interest (or, if the Loans have matured or been accelerated, the principal upon the Loans) an amount equal to the lower interest owing as a result of such lower Additional Interest for such Applicable Period; provided, that, any such inaccuracy resulting in lower Additional Interest for any such Applicable Period shall have been reported by Borrower within 90 days of such Applicable Period.

 

At the election of Borrower prior to the Maturity Date (it being understood that, if Borrower does not pay such interest in cash on the applicable Interest Payment Date (as defined below), Borrower shall be deemed to have made such election for such Interest Payment Date), interest (including without limitation Additional Interest and S-X Additional Interest (but not, for the avoidance of doubt default interest pursuant to Section 1.2(b) below)) in excess of 5.0% per annum may, in lieu of being paid in cash, be capitalized and added to the principal amount of the Loan (ratably owing to Lenders based on their respective loan percentages as set forth on Schedule 1.1 hereto).

 

Interest shall accrue and be payable on the last business day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on June 29, 2018, (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) and on the Maturity Date.

 

(b) Default Interest . From and after the Maturity Date, or such earlier date as all principal owing hereunder becomes due and payable by acceleration or otherwise, or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, then, the outstanding principal amount of the Loan shall bear interest at an increased rate per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) equal to four percent (4.0%) above the rate of interest from time to time otherwise applicable to the Loan (including Additional Interest and Additional S-X Interest, as applicable), which increase shall be in the form of cash interest and shall take effect automatically and without further action (of the Lenders or otherwise).

 

Section 1.3. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST.

 

(a) Grant of Security Interest . Borrower hereby grants Lenders, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to the Lenders, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof.

 

- 5 -

 

 

Borrower (on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries) hereby grants to Lenders an irrevocable, non-exclusive, world-wide license, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without payment of royalty or other compensation to Borrower or any of its subsidiaries, to use, transfer, license or sublicense any intellectual property (including, without limitation, patents, trademarks, copyrights, service marks, trade secrets and other intellectual property) now owned, licensed to, or hereafter acquired by Borrower or such subsidiaries, and wherever the same may be located, including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof; provided that such license (a) will be used in connection with Lenders’ exercise of their rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and (b) will terminate on the date on which all indebtedness and other obligations (other than unasserted, contingent indemnification obligations) arising under the Loan Documents are paid in full.

 

If this Agreement is terminated, Lenders’ Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are repaid in full in cash. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations), Lenders shall, at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, release its Liens in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower. In the event (x) all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations), are satisfied in full, and (y) any commitment of the Lenders to extend financial accommodations to the Borrowers shall have expired or been terminated, Lenders shall terminate the security interests granted herein and in the other Loan Documents and shall (at the cost and expense of the Borrower) execute and deliver (and cause the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver) such terminations and releases of such security interests as the Borrower may reasonably request.

 

(b) Priority of Security Interest . Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected (to the extent perfection can be achieved by the filing of financing statements or the taking of other actions that have been taken or requested to be taken by the Lenders) security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that are permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or applicable law to have superior priority to the Lenders’ Lien under this Agreement). If Borrower shall acquire a commercial tort claim in an amount in excess of $100,000 (which dollar threshold shall not apply if an Event of Default is continuing), Borrower shall promptly notify Lenders in a writing signed by Borrower of the general details thereof and grant to Lenders in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lenders.

 

(c) Authorization to File Financing Statements . Borrower hereby authorizes Lenders to file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Lenders’ interest or rights hereunder. Such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words of similar effect, or as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater detail, in the Lenders’ discretion.

Except with respect to the right to receive the Redemption Price (as defined below) in the event of a redemption (as set forth in  Section 5  hereof), if this Warrant is not exercised on or before the Expiration Date it shall become void, and all rights hereunder shall cease at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Expiration Date.

2.3  Exercise of Warrant .

 

2.3.1  Payment . Subject to the provisions of this Warrant, this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder hereof, in whole or in part, by delivery to the Company of a duly executed facsimile copy or PDF copy submitted by email (or email attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “ Notice of Exercise ”), and by paying in full the Warrant Price for each full share of Common Stock as to which this Warrant is exercised and any and all applicable taxes due in connection with the exercise of this Warrant, the exchange of this Warrant for the shares of Common Stock and the issuance of such Common Stock, as follows:

 

(a) in lawful money of the United States, in good certified check or good bank draft payable to the order of the Company; or

  

(b) by surrendering this Warrant for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is being exercised, multiplied by the difference between the Warrant Price and the Fair Market Value, as defined in this  Section 2.3.1(b) , by (y) the Fair Market Value. Solely for purposes of this  Section 2.3.1(b) , the “ Fair Market Value ” shall mean the average last sale price of the Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which notice of exercise of this Warrant is sent to the Company.

 

2.3.2  Issuance of Shares of Common Stock on Exercise . As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant and the clearance of the funds in payment of the Warrant Price (if payment is pursuant to  Section 2.3.1(a) ), the Company shall issue to the Holder of this Warrant a book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which he, she or it is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it, and if this Warrant shall not have been exercised in full, a new countersigned Warrant for the number of shares as to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised. Subject to Section 3.6 of this Agreement, the Holder of this Warrant may exercise this Warrant only for a whole number of shares of Common Stock. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Warrant exercise. If, by reason of any exercise of warrants on a “cashless basis”, the Holder would be entitled, upon the exercise of this Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round down to the nearest whole number, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder.

 

2.3.3  Valid Issuance . All shares of Common Stock issued upon the proper exercise of this Warrant shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

2.3.4  Date of Issuance . Each person in whose name any book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, for shares of Common Stock is issued shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock on the date on which this Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Warrant Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the share transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares of Common Stock at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the share transfer books are open.

2.3.5  Maximum Percentage . The Holder may notify the Company in writing in the event it elects to be subject to the provisions contained in this Section 2.3.5 ; provided , however , that the Holder shall not be subject to this Section 2.3.5 unless he, she or it makes such election. If the election is made by the Holder, the Company shall not effect the exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act)), to the Company’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 9.8% (the “ Maximum Percentage ”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon (x) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates and (y) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such person and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”). For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly report on Form 10-Q, current report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Commission as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “ Transfer Agent ”) setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days, confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. “ Business Day ” means any day except any Saturday, any Sunday, any day which is a federal legal holiday in the United States or any day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or required by law or other governmental action to close. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of equity securities of the Company by the Holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. By written notice to the Company, the Holder of this Warrant may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage applicable to such Holder to any other percentage specified in such notice; provided , however , that any such increase shall not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company.

 

3.  Adjustments .

 

3.1  Stock Dividends .

 

3.1.1  Split-Ups . If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of  Section 3.6  below, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or by a split-up of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of this Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of Common Stock. A rights offering to holders of the Common Stock entitling holders to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price less than the “Fair Market Value” (as defined below) shall be deemed a stock dividend of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for the Common Stock) multiplied by (ii) one (1) minus the quotient of (x) the price per share of Common Stock paid in such rights offering divided by (y) the Fair Market Value. For purposes of this  Section 3.1.1 , (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock, in determining the price payable for Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) “Fair Market Value” means the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the shares of Common Stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights. 

 

3.1.2  Extraordinary Dividends . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired, shall pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of the Common Stock on account of such shares of Common Stock (or other shares of the Company’s capital stock into which this Warrant is convertible), other than (a) as described in  Section 3.1.1  above, or (b) Ordinary Cash Dividends (as defined below) (any such non-excluded event being referred to herein as an “ Extraordinary Dividend ”), then the Warrant Price shall be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such Extraordinary Dividend, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, in good faith) of any securities or other assets paid on each share of Common Stock in respect of such Extraordinary Dividend. For purposes of this  Section 3.1.2 , “ Ordinary Cash Dividends ” means any cash dividend or cash distribution which, when combined on a per share basis, with the per share amounts of all other cash dividends and cash distributions paid on the Common Stock during the 365-day period ending on the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution (as adjusted to appropriately reflect any of the events referred to in other subsections of this  Section 3  and excluding cash dividends or cash distributions that resulted in an adjustment to the Warrant Price or to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant) does not exceed $[Insert 5% of initial Warrant Price].

 

3

 

 

3.2  Aggregation of Shares . If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of  Section 3.6  hereof, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of this Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

3.3  Adjustments in Exercise Price . Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as provided in  Section 3.1.1  or  Section 3.2  above, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying such Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

  

3.4  Replacement of Securities upon Reorganization, etc .

 

3.4.1 Fundamental Transaction . In the case of (a) any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change under Sections 3.1.1 or 3.1.2 or Section 3.2 hereof or that solely affects the par value of such shares of Common Stock), (b) any (i) merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock) or (ii) merger or consolidation of the Company with (but not into) another corporation, in which stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction own less than a majority of the outstanding stock of the surviving entity, (c) any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, or (d) any tender, exchange or redemption offer made to and accepted by the holders of the Common Stock under circumstances in which, upon completion of such tender or exchange offer, the maker thereof, together with members of any group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) of which such maker is a part, and together with any affiliate or associate of such maker (within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) and any members of any such group of which any such affiliate or associate is a part, own beneficially (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (each of (a)-(d), a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in this Warrant and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, for each share of Common Stock which may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant at the effective time of the Fundamental Transaction, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable in respect of each share of Common Stock upon such Fundamental Transaction (the “ Alternate Consideration ”); provided , however , that (i) if the holders of the Common Stock were entitled to exercise a right of election as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other assets receivable upon a Fundamental Transaction, then the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets constituting the Alternate Consideration for which this Warrant shall become exercisable shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the kind and amount received per share by the holders of the Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction that affirmatively make such election, and (ii) in the event of a Fundamental Transaction under clause (d) above, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive as the Alternate Consideration, the highest amount of cash, securities or other property to which the Holder would actually have been entitled as a stockholder if the Holder had exercised this Warrant prior to the expiration of such tender or exchange offer, accepted such offer and all of the Common Stock held by such holder had been purchased pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, subject to adjustments (from and after the consummation of such tender or exchange offer) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in this Section 3 . The Company shall cause any successor to the Company, surviving entity or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation to assume the obligation to deliver to the Holder such Alternate Consideration as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to receive, and the other obligations under this Warrant.

3.4.2 Warrant Price Adjustment . In the event (a) any Fundamental Transaction occurs, (b) any person (other than the Holder and its affiliates), together with members of any group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) of which such person is a part, and together with any affiliate or associate of such person (within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) and any members of any such group of which any such affiliate or associate is a part, becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, through purchase, merger or other acquisition transaction or series of transactions, securities of the Company entitling such person or group to exercise 25% or more of the total voting power of all voting securities of the Company, (c) Tony Pearce or Terry Pearce individually or together cease beneficially to own at least 50% of the voting securities of the Company, or (d) the Board of Directors of the Company ceases to be comprised of a majority of independent directors (as defined under NASDAQ rules) for a period of longer than 60 consecutive days (each of (a)-(d), a “ Warrant Price Adjustment Transaction ”), then in each such case the Warrant Price shall be reduced by the Black-Scholes Warrant Value (as defined below) unless the Holder has made an election under Section 3.4.3 below in relation to the same Warrant Price Adjustment Transaction in which case the Warrant Price for the portion of this Warrant for which such election under Section 3.4.3 was made shall not be adjusted.

 

3.4.3 Warrant Repurchase . Upon (a) the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction or (b) any person (other than the Holder and its affiliates), together with members of any group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) of which such person is a part, and together with any affiliate or associate of such person (within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) and any members of any such group of which any such affiliate or associate is a part, becoming the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, through purchase, merger or other acquisition transaction or series of transactions, of securities of the Company entitling such person or group to exercise 50% or more of the total voting power of all voting securities of the Company (each of (a) and (b), a “ Repurchase Transaction ”), at the request of the Holder delivered at any time during the period commencing on the earliest to occur of (i) the public disclosure of any Repurchase Transaction, (ii) the consummation of any Repurchase Transaction and (iii) the Holder first becoming aware of any Repurchase Transaction, in each case through the date that is 45 days after the public disclosure of the consummation of such Repurchase Transaction by the Company pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission, the Company (or the successor entity to the Company) shall purchase all or a portion of this Warrant requested by the Holder from the Holder by paying to the Holder, within five trading days after such request (or, if such request is given prior to the consummation of such Repurchase Transaction, on the effective date of (and subject to) the consummation of the Repurchase Transaction), cash in an amount equal to the Black-Scholes Warrant Value multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares for the portion of this Warrant which has been requested to be repurchased.

 

3.4.4 Black-Scholes Warrant Value . “ Black-Scholes Warrant Value ” means the value of the right to exercise this Warrant in respect of each Warrant Share immediately prior to the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, Warrant Price Adjustment Transaction or Repurchase Transaction, as the case may be, based on the Black-Scholes Warrant Model for a Capped American Call on Bloomberg Financial Markets (“ Bloomberg ”, obtained from the “OVME” function). For purposes of calculating such amount, (a) Section 5 of this Agreement shall be taken into account, (b) the price of each share of Common Stock shall be the greater of the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock as reported during the thirty (30) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the effective date of the applicable event or the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock as reported during the trading day immediately preceding the effective date of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, Warrant Price Adjustment Transaction or Repurchase Transaction, as the case may be, (c) the assumed volatility shall be the greater of 100% or the 90 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg determined as of the trading day immediately prior to the day of the announcement of the applicable event, and (d) the assumed risk-free interest rate shall correspond to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of this Warrant.

3.4.5 Subsequent Adjustments . The provisions of this Section 3.4 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers. In no event will the Warrant Price be reduced to less than the par value per share issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

3.5  Notices of Changes in Warrant . Upon every adjustment of the Warrant Price or the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in  Sections 3.1 3.2 3.3  or  3.4 , the Company shall give written notice of the occurrence of such event to the Holder of this Warrant, of the record date or the effective date of the event. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.

  

3.6  No Fractional Shares . Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Warrant to the contrary, the Company shall not issue fractional shares upon the exercise of this Warrant. If, by reason of any adjustment made pursuant to this  Section 3 , the Holder of this Warrant would be entitled, upon the exercise of this Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company shall, upon such exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder.

 

3.7  Other Events . In case any event shall occur affecting the Company as to which none of the provisions of preceding subsections of this  Section 3  are strictly applicable, but which would require an adjustment to the terms of this Warrant in order to (i) avoid an adverse impact on this Warrant and (ii) effectuate the intent and purpose of this  Section 3 , then, in each such case, the Company shall appoint a firm of independent public accountants, investment banking or other appraisal firm of recognized national standing, which shall give its opinion as to whether or not any adjustment to the rights represented by this Warrant is necessary to effectuate the intent and purpose of this  Section 3  and, if they determine that an adjustment is necessary, the terms of such adjustment.

4. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION .

 

4.1 Indemnification by Parent . Parent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Investor, and each Investor’s officers, employees, affiliates, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents, and each Person, if any, who controls an Investor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (each, an “ Investor Indemnified Party ”), from and against any expenses, losses, judgments, claims, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement, or arising out of or based upon any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by Parent of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to Parent and relating to action or inaction required of Parent in connection with any such registration; and Parent shall promptly reimburse the Investor Indemnified Party for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Investor Indemnified Party in connection with investigating and defending any such expense, loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action; provided , however , that Parent will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or summary prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Parent, in writing, by such selling holder expressly for use therein. Parent also shall indemnify any Underwriter of the Registrable Securities, their officers, affiliates, directors, partners, members and agents and each Person who controls such Underwriter on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification provided above in this Section 4.1.

 

11

 

  

4.2 Indemnification by the Investors . Each Investor selling Registrable Securities will, in the event that any registration is being effected under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement of any Registrable Securities held by such selling Investor, indemnify and hold harmless Parent, each of its directors and officers and each Underwriter (if any), and each other selling holder and each other Person, if any, who controls another selling holder or such Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, insofar as such losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or arise out of or are based upon any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, if the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to Parent by such Investor expressly for use therein, and shall reimburse Parent, its directors and officers, each Underwriter and each other selling holder or controlling Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigation or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Each selling Investor’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the amount of any net proceeds actually received by such selling Investor.

 

4.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings . Promptly after receipt by any Person of any notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2, such Person (the “ Indemnified Party ”) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other Person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other Person (the “ Indemnifying Party ”) in writing of the loss, claim, judgment, damage, liability or action; provided , however , that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided , however , that in any action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel) to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling Persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if, based upon the written opinion of counsel of such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding.

 

12

 

   

4.4 Contribution .

 

4.4.1 If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

 

4.4.2 The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding Section 4.4.1.

 

4.4.3 The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4, no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds (after payment of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or taxes) actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities which gave rise to such contribution obligation. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

5. UNDERWRITING AND DISTRIBUTION .

 

5.1 Rule 144 . Parent covenants that it shall file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and shall take such further action as Investors holding Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Investors to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC.

Exhibit 10.4

 

AMENDED & RESTATED PARENT GUARANTY

 

February 26, 2019

 

For value received, PURPLE INNOVATION, INC. (“Guarantor”), a corporation duly organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, hereby unconditionally guarantees the prompt and complete payment in cash when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations and liabilities (the “Guaranteed Obligations”), whether now in existence or hereafter arising, of PURPLE INNOVATION, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (“Borrower”) to Lenders (as defined below) under and arising out of or under that certain Amended & Restated Credit Agreement, among Borrower, COLISEUM CAPITAL PARTNERS, L.P. (“CCP”), BLACKWELL PARTNERS LLC – SERIES A (“Blackwell”) and COLISEUM CO-INVEST DEBT FUND, L.P. (and together with CCP and Blackwell, and their respective successors and assigns, “Lenders”) and Delaware Trust Company, as collateral agent on behalf of the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) dated as of the date hereof according to the terms thereof (as in effect on the date hereof, and as otherwise amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms used in this Guaranty but not defined in this Guaranty shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement. This Guaranty is one of payment and not of collection.

 

Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and notice of any obligation or liability to which it may apply, and waives presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of dishonor or non-payment of any such obligation or liability, suit or the taking of other action by any Lender against, and any other notice to, Borrower, Guarantor or others.

 

Lenders may at any time and from time to time without notice to or consent of Guarantor and without impairing or releasing the obligations of Guarantor hereunder: (1) agree with Borrower to make any change in the terms of any obligation or liability of Borrower to Lenders, (2) take or fail to take any action of any kind in respect of any security for any obligation or liability of Borrower to Lenders, (3) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against Borrower or others, or (4) compromise or subordinate any obligation or liability of Borrower to Lenders including any security therefor. Any other suretyship defenses (other than irrevocable payment in full) are hereby waived by Guarantor.

 

This Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect until the Guaranteed Obligations are satisfied, defeased, discharged or otherwise terminated, and automatically, upon such satisfaction, defeasement, discharge or termination, without any action by any person, the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall automatically terminate. It is understood and agreed, however, that notwithstanding any such termination this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the obligations and liabilities set forth above which shall have been incurred prior to such termination.

 

Guarantor may not assign its rights nor delegate its obligations under this Guaranty, in whole or in part, without prior written consent of Lenders, and any purported assignment or delegation absent such consent is void, except for an assignment and delegation of all of Guarantor’s rights and obligations hereunder in whatever form Guarantor determines may be appropriate to a partnership, corporation, trust or other organization in whatever form that succeeds to all or substantially all of Guarantor’s assets and business and that assumes such obligations by contract, operation of law or otherwise. Upon any such delegation and assumption of obligations, Guarantor shall be relieved of and fully discharged from all obligations hereunder, whether such obligations arose before or after such delegation and assumption.

 

 

 

 

Guarantor hereby represents as follows:

 

(a) Guarantor is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Guaranty.

 

(b) The execution and delivery of this Guaranty have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of Guarantor’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws, as amended to date, or any law, regulation, decree, order, judgment, resolution or any contractual restriction binding on Guarantor or its assets that could affect, in a materially adverse manner, the ability of Guarantor to perform any of its obligations hereunder.

 

(c) All consents, licenses, clearances, authorizations, and approvals of, and registration and declarations with, any governmental or regulatory authority necessary for the due execution and delivery of this Guaranty have been obtained and remain in full force and effect and all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental or regulatory authority is required in connection with the execution or delivery of this Guaranty.

 

(d) This Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with all of its terms and conditions (subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar law affecting creditors’ rights generally). The enforceability of Guarantor’s obligations is also subject to the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

 

THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW. GUARANTOR AGREES TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, OVER ANY DISPUTES ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY.

 

This Guaranty amends, restates and supersedes in its entirety that certain Parent Guaranty, dated as of February 2, 2018 by Guarantor (the “Original Guaranty”), and such Original Guaranty shall be of no further force or effect.

Exhibit 10.5

 

GUARANTOR SECURITY AGREEMENT

 

This GUARANTOR SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “ Security Agreement ”) is entered into as of February 26, 2019 by and among (i) COLISEUM CAPITAL PARTNERS, L.P. (“ CCP ”), BLACKWELL PARTNERS LLC – SERIES A (“ Blackwell ”) and COLISEUM CO-INVEST DEBT FUND, L.P. (“ CCDF ” and, together with CCP and Blackwell, collectively “ Coliseum ” or “ Lender ”) and DELAWARE TRUST COMPANY as collateral agent on behalf of Lender (in such capacity, the “ Collateral Agent ”), and (ii) PURPLE INNOVATION, INC. , a Delaware corporation, having a mailing address of 123 E 200 N, Alpine, Utah 84004 (“ Debtor ”).

 

RECITALS

 

Debtor has executed and delivered a certain Guaranty, dated as of the Original Closing Date, of the obligations and liabilities of PURPLE INNOVATION, LLC , a Delaware limited liability company, having a mailing address of 123 E 200 N, Alpine, Utah 84004 (“ Borrower ”) to Lender (as may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Guaranty ”). Lender has agreed to lend money to Borrower, pursuant to that certain Amended & Restated Credit Agreement by and between Borrower and Lender, dated as of the date hereof (as may be amended, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Loan Agreement ”), but only upon the condition that Debtor execute and deliver this Security Agreement to secure the payment and performance of the obligations and liabilities of Debtor under the Guaranty (the “ Guaranty Secured Obligations ”) in accordance with the terms of this Security Agreement.

 

Borrower has executed and delivered the Loan Agreement, but only upon the condition that Borrower execute and deliver this Security Agreement to secure the payment and performance of the obligations and liabilities of Borrower under the Loan Agreement (the “ Borrower Secured Obligations ” and, together with the Guaranty Secured Obligations, the “ Secured Obligations ”) in accordance with the terms of this Security Agreement.

 

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given them under the Loan Agreement.

 

AGREEMENT

 

The parties agree as follows:

 

1. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST

 

1.1 Grant of Security Interest . Debtor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of Lender, to secure the payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Collateral Agent, on behalf of Lender, the property described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “ Collateral ”), wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof. Debtor represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (to the extent perfection can be achieved by the filing of financing statements and any other actions requested or taken by the Collateral Agent or Lender, as applicable), except as otherwise permitted in Section 5.8 of the Loan Agreement and the definition of “Permitted Liens” therein (with references to “Borrower” in such provisions being deemed references to Debtor).

 

 

 

 

If this Security Agreement is terminated, Collateral Agent’s Lien on behalf of Lender in the Collateral shall continue until the Secured Obligations are terminated and repaid in full in cash (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and any other obligations which by their terms are to survive termination of this Security Agreement). Upon payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and any other obligations which by their terms are to survive termination of this Security Agreement) and at such time as Lender’s obligation to make credit accommodations under the Loan Agreement has terminated, this Security Agreement shall be terminated and the Collateral Agent’s Liens on behalf of Lender shall automatically be released and all rights therein shall revert to Debtor, and Collateral Agent shall, at Debtor’s sole cost and expense, permit the filing of UCC termination statements and all other Lien release agreements reasonably requested by Debtor, in each case at the sole cost and expense of Debtor.

 

1.2 Financing Statements . This Security Agreement constitutes an authenticated record which authorizes Lender (or Collateral Agent, on behalf of Lender), to file such financing statements as Lender determines appropriate. Such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words of similar effect, or as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater detail, all in Lender’s discretion. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Debtor hereby expressly authorizes Lender (or Collateral Agent, on behalf of Lender) to file financing statements, with all appropriate jurisdictions, as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate from time to time, in order to perfect, protect, or vest more securely Lender’s security interest in the Collateral.

 

1.3 Delivery of Additional Documentation Required .

6.3 Right of Set-Off . Debtor hereby grants to Collateral Agent on behalf of Lender, a lien, security interest and right of setoff as security for all Secured Obligations to Collateral Agent on behalf of Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Lender or any entity under the control of Collateral Agent on behalf of Lender or in transit to any of them. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without demand or notice, Collateral Agent or Lender, as applicable, may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Debtor even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the loan. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF DEBTOR, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

 

6.4 Time of Essence . Time is of the essence for the performance of all obligations set forth in this Security Agreement.

6.7 Counterparts .

6.8 Survival . All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Security Agreement shall continue in full force and effect so long as any liabilities and obligations under the Guaranty and this Security Agreement remain outstanding. The obligations of Debtor to indemnify Lender with respect to the expenses, damages, losses, costs and liabilities described in this Security Agreement shall survive until all applicable statute of limitations periods with respect to actions that may be brought against Lender (or Collateral Agent on behalf of Lender) have run.

 

6.9 Amendment of Loan Documents . Debtor authorizes Collateral Agent on behalf of Lender, without notice to or demand upon Debtor and without affecting its liability hereunder, from time to time to (a) renew, extend, or otherwise change the terms of the Loan Documents or any part thereof; (b) take and hold security for the payment of the Loan Documents, and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security; and (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Lender in its sole discretion may determine.

Debtor waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of Borrower or Debtor or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Borrower or Debtor.

Debtor waives any defense arising out of the absence, impairment or loss of any right of reimbursement or subrogation or any other rights against Borrower or Debtor. Debtor shall have no right of subrogation or reimbursement, contribution or other rights against Borrower, and Debtor waives any right to enforce any remedy that Lender (or Collateral Agent, on behalf of Lender) now has or may hereafter have against Borrower. Debtor waives all rights to participate in any security now or hereafter held by Lender (or Collateral Agent, on behalf of Lender). Debtor waives all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, and notices of acceptance of this Security Agreement and of the existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional indebtedness. Debtor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of Borrower and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any indebtedness or nonperformance of any obligation of Borrower, warrants to Lender (and Collateral Agent, on behalf of Lender) that it will keep so informed, and agrees that absent a request for particular information by Debtor, Lender (or Collateral Agent, on behalf of Lender) shall have no duty to advise Debtor of information known to Lender (or Collateral Agent, on behalf of Lender) regarding such condition or any such circumstances.

 

6.11 Insolvency . If Borrower becomes insolvent or is adjudicated bankrupt or files an insolvency proceeding, or if such a petition is filed against Borrower, and in any such proceeding some or all of any indebtedness or obligations under the Loan Documents is terminated or rejected or any obligation of Borrower is modified or abrogated, or if Borrower’s obligations are otherwise avoided for insolvency, bankruptcy or any similar reason, Debtor agrees that Debtor’s liability hereunder shall not thereby be affected or modified and such liability shall continue in full force and effect as if no such action or proceeding had occurred. This Security Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if any payment must be returned by Lender (or Collateral Agent, on behalf of Lender) upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or Debtor, any other person, or otherwise, as though such payment had not been made.

2017 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

 

Option Grant Agreement

 

This Option Grant Agreement evidences the grant of a Nonqualified Stock Option (the “Grant”), pursuant to the provisions of the Purple Innovation, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to the individual whose name appears below (the “Participant”), covering the specific number of shares of stock set forth below, pursuant to the provisions of the Plan and on the following express terms and conditions (capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Plan):

 

1. Name of Participant : John Legg

 

2. Grant . The option to purchase 250,000 Common Shares of Purple Innovation, Inc. (the “Company”). The grant date of the Grant is February 21, 2019 (the “Grant Date”).

 

3. Exercise Price per Share . The exercise price of the Grant shall be the greater of (i) the closing price of the Company’s Common Shares on the Grant Date or (ii) the trailing thirty (30) day volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Shares determined as of the Grant Date.

 

4. Vesting and Exercisability : The Grant shall be subject to four-year monthly vesting following an initial 25% “cliff”; the date of the 25% “cliff” is the first anniversary date of the Grant Date. Vesting of the remaining 75% will occur on the first day of each calendar month thereafter. “Cliff” means herein that no vesting will occur until the date when the first 25% vests and the remaining 75% begins to vest monthly.

 

5. Change in Control : Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a Change in Control, the options issued under the Grant that are then outstanding shall vest as provided in the Plan.

 

6. Clawback : The Grant is subject to any Company clawback policy as may be adopted or amended from time to time.

 

7. Exercise : With respect to the Grant, the Exercise Price shall be payable, at the Participant’s election (A) in cash; (B) if there is a public market for the Common Shares at the time of exercise, by means of a broker-assisted “cashless exercise” pursuant to which the Company is delivered a copy of irrevocable instructions to a stockbroker to sell the Common Shares otherwise deliverable upon the exercise of the option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the Exercise Price or (C) by a “net exercise” method whereby the Company withholds from the delivery of the Common Shares for which such option was exercised that number of Common Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the Common Shares for which such option was exercised. Any fractional Common Shares shall be settled in cash.

 

8. Expiration/Termination of Option : This option shall have a term of five years. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent not expired, terminated or cancelled earlier in accordance with the terms of Plan, the Grant shall expire on February 21, 2024. The provisions of Section 7 of the Plan regarding death, Disability, Retirement and termination of employment (with and without Cause) shall apply.

 

The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan as presently in effect. The text and all of the terms and provisions of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference, and this option is subject to these terms and provisions in all respects. At any time when the Participant wishes to exercise this option, in whole or in part, the Participant shall submit to the Company a written notice of exercise, specifying the exercise date and the number of Common Shares to be exercised. Upon exercise, the Participant shall remit to the Company the exercise price in cash or in such other form as permitted under the Plan, plus an amount sufficient to satisfy the required withholding tax obligation of the Company, if any, that arises in connection with such exercise.
