Amendment to Forbearance Agreement and Second Incremental Amendment to Financing Agreement

 

EVO Transportation & Energy Services, Inc. (the “Company”) previously filed a Current Report on Form 8-K on September 20, 2019, reporting, among other things, the Company’s entry into a $24.5 million financing agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) dated September 16, 2019 among the Company, each subsidiary of the Company, various lenders from time to time party thereto, and Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent (“Collateral Agent”). On March 4, 2020, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K reporting, among other things, its entry into a forbearance agreement and incremental amendment to financing agreement dated February 27, 2020 (the “Incremental Amendment”), pursuant to which the Company obtained an additional $3,214,285.71 in term loan commitments (the “Incremental Term Loans”) from Antara Capital Master Fund LP (“Antara Capital”) under the Financing Agreement. On March 24, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to forbearance agreement and second incremental amendment to financing agreement (the “Second Incremental”), pursuant to which the Company obtained an additional $3,061,224 in term loan commitments (the “Second Incremental Term Loans”) from Antara Capital on the same terms as its existing term loan commitments provided under the Financing Agreement.

 

The Second Incremental Term Loans bear interest at 12% per annum and have a maturity date of September 16, 2022. Monthly interest payments will be due in cash, and all outstanding principal and interest will be due on the maturity date. The Second Incremental Term Loans may be prepaid at any time, subject to payment of a prepayment premium equal to (i) 7% of each prepayment made on or prior to September 16, 2020 and (ii) 5% of each prepayment made after September 16, 2020 but on or prior to September 16, 2021, with no premium due after September 16, 2021.

 

The Second Incremental Amendment contains, among others, the following affirmative covenants (the “Affirmative Covenants”):

 

(i) On or before March 31, 2020, the Company and its subsidiaries must deposit into a deposit account subject to a control agreement, and retain for application to general corporate purposes, up to $3,000,000 in funds advanced to the Company or its subsidiaries by the United States Postal Service (“USPS”) for claimed reimbursements for certain previously provided services (the “USPS Reimbursements”).

 

(ii) On or before May 1, 2020, the Company and its subsidiaries must consummate amendments to their respective contracts with USPS to increase anticipated aggregate revenue received by the Company and its subsidiaries from USPS by at least $400,000 per month.

 

(iii) On or before April 15, 2020, the Company and its subsidiaries must consummate fully the acquisition by EVO Equipment Leasing, LLC of 89 used CNG tractors evidenced by a bill of sale dated October 15, 2019 and the transfer of free and clear title to each such CNG tractor into the name of EVO Equipment Leasing, LLC and reflect on such titles the lien in favor of the Collateral Agent.

 

(iv) On or before April 15, 2020, the Company and Dan Thompson II LLC (“Thompson”) must enter into an agreement pursuant to which Thompson agrees that (i) all payments due to Thompson under the secured convertible promissory note purchase agreement dated as of July 20, 2018 (“Thompson NPA”) and the secured convertible promissory note dated July 20, 2018 (“Thompson Note”) in the original amount of $3,000,000 will be paid only in kind until maturity and (ii) the maturity date of the Thompson Note is extended to July 31, 2021.

 

1

 

 

(v) On or before April 15, 2020, the Company and holders of at least fifty percent in amount of notes (the “Other Notes”) other than the Thompson Note issued under the Thompson NPA (“Other Thompson Holders”) must enter into an agreement pursuant to which the Other Thompson Holders agree that all payments due under the Thompson NPA and the Other Notes will be paid only in kind until the later of the maturity date of the Thompson Note (as extended) and each of the Other Notes.

 

(vi) On or before September 29, 2020, the Company and its subsidiaries must have received in the aggregate at least $2,000,000 in cash from the United States government on account of rebates, reimbursements or the like in respect of their use of compressed natural gas fuel.

 

The Second Incremental also provides that the Company and its subsidiaries must make a mandatory prepayment to the Collateral Agent of fifty percent of the USPS Reimbursements within one business day after receipt of immediately available funds in respect of the USPS Reimbursements, and in no event later than March 31, 2020, which amount will be applied first to pay all interest then owing and unpaid in respect of the Second Incremental Term Loans and the remaining balance of such amount will be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Second Incremental Term Loans.

 

In its Current Report on Form 8-K filed March 4, 2020, the Company reported that the Incremental Amendment required the Company and its subsidiaries, during the period commencing February 27, 2020 and ending on or before March 31, 2020, to receive additional cash equity contributions in the aggregate amount of $6,000,000 in immediately available funds in consideration of issuance of capital stock of the Company (the “Liquidity Milestone”). The Second Incremental Amendment deleted the Liquidity Milestone covenant from the Financing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the Incremental Amendment, the Collateral Agent and other lenders agreed to forbear from exercising certain rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and defenses under the Financing Agreement and the other related loan documents during the forbearance period with respect to certain “Specified Defaults” (as defined in the Incremental Amendment). The Second Incremental expands the definition of “Specified Defaults” to include the following additional events of default and/or expected or anticipated events of default arising under the Financing Agreement and related loan documents: (i) any non-compliance with the Company’s budget for calendar year 2020 (as required to be delivered by the Company under Section 6.11 of the Incremental Amendment) as it existed prior to the date of the Second Incremental, and (ii) the failure and expected failure during the first full month following the effective date of the Second Incremental of the Company and its subsidiaries to comply with Sections 4.04, 4.09, and 4.10 of the Incremental Amendment.

 

The Second Incremental also suspends the accrual of interest at the post-default rate provided for in Section 2.9 of the Financing Agreement until the end of the forbearance period. The forbearance period will terminate on the earliest to occur of (a) September 30, 2020, (b) the occurrence of any event of default other than the Specified Defaults, or (c) the date on which any breach of any of the conditions or agreements, including without limitation the Affirmative Covenants, provided in the Incremental Amendment or Second Incremental occurs. The Company paid all fees, costs, and expenses of the Collateral Agent and the lenders incurred in connection with the Incremental Amendment and the Second Incremental.  

 

The foregoing summary description of the material terms of the Second Incremental does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Incremental, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

Redemption of Common Stock and Issuance of Series B Preferred Stock

 

On March 24, 2020, the Company entered into a stock redemption agreement with each of Danny Cuzick (“Cuzick”) and R. Scott Wheeler (“Wheeler”), pursuant to which (i) the Company redeemed 1,200,000 and 60,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), held by Cuzick and Wheeler, respectively, and (ii) agreed to issue 1,000,000 and 50,000 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”), to Cuzick and Wheeler, respectively, in exchange therefor. A summary of the rights and preferences of the Series B Preferred Stock is included under Item 3.03 below.

In addition, on March 24, 2020, the Company sold a total of 1,000,000 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock to Cuzick for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,000,000 pursuant to the terms of a subscription agreement. In its original form, the subscription agreement granted Cuzick the right to require the Company to repurchase shares of Series B Preferred Stock from Cuzick for an aggregate amount up to fifty percent of the USPS Reimbursements (the “Put Option”). On March 27, 2020, the Company and Cuzick entered into a waiver and warrant agreement pursuant to which Cuzick waived his right to exercise the Put Option in exchange for the Company agreeing to issue to Cuzick warrants to purchase up to 3,250,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share.

 

The foregoing equity securities were offered and sold as part of a private placement solely to “accredited investors” as that term is defined under Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act afforded by Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Company did not pay any underwriter discounts or commissions in connection with the issuance of the equity securities. Cuzick and Wheeler are members of the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

The foregoing summary of the material terms of the redemption agreements, subscription agreement, and waiver and warrant agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the redemption agreements, subscription agreement, and waiver and warrant agreement, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4 and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

 

Series B Preferred Stock

 

On March 24, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Rights and Preferences of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which authorizes the Company to issue up to 3,075,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

 

The Series B Preferred Stock ranks senior in preference and priority to the Company’s Common Stock and on par with the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend and liquidation rights and, except as provided in the Certificate of Designation or otherwise required by law, will vote with the Common Stock on an as converted basis on all matters presented for a vote of the holders of Common Stock, including the election of directors. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to four votes for each share of Series B Preferred Stock held on the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to vote or, if no record date is established, on the date the vote is taken.

 

An annual, non-compounding dividend accrues on the Series B Preferred Stock at a rate of 10% per annum for five years from the date the Preferred Stock is issued. The dividend is payable, if and when declared by the Board of Directors, in arrears in the form of shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a rate of $3.00 per share, or, at the Company’s option, quarterly in arrears in cash.

 

The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to a liquidation preference of $3.00 per share of Series B Preferred Stock plus any accrued but unpaid dividends upon the liquidation of the Company. The Series B Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company at any time at a redemption price equal to $3.00 plus all accrued but unpaid dividends, and each holder of Series B Preferred Stock may cause the Company to redeem the holder’s Series B Preferred Stock at any time after March 23, 2025 at a redemption price equal to $3.00 plus all accrued but unpaid dividends.

 

3

 

 

The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder or the Company at an initial conversion ratio of one share of Common Stock for each share of Series B Preferred Stock. The initial conversion ratio shall be adjusted in the event of any stock splits, stock dividends and other recapitalizations. If the Company is the party electing to exercise the conversion right, it must provide five days’ prior notice to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock during which the holders of Series B Preferred Stock may elect to exercise their redemption right to receive cash in lieu of the Common Stock that would otherwise be issued by the Company in connection with the conversion. In addition, each share of Series B Preferred Stock will automatically convert to one share of Common Stock (i) if the closing price on all domestic securities exchanges on which the Common Stock may at the time be listed exceeds $3.00 per share for 90 consecutive trading days and the average daily trading volume of the Common Stock is at least 20,000 shares for that same period; (ii) immediately prior to closing a firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) relating to an offer and sale of shares of Common Stock that generates gross proceeds of at least $25,000,000; or (iii) immediately prior to effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act covering shares of Common Stock sold in a private offering that generates gross proceeds of at least $25,000,000. If the automatic conversion of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to subpart (ii) or (iii) of the previous sentence occurs prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, then all dividends that would have accrued with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock for the period from the conversion date to the fifth anniversary of the issuance date will be deemed to automatically accrue and be treated as accrued and unpaid dividends on such Series B Preferred Stock as of immediately prior to conversion.

 

The approval of the holders of at least a majority of the Series B Preferred Stock, voting together as a separate class, is required for the Company to amend the Certificate of Designation, including by merger or otherwise, to alter or repeal the preferences, rights, privileges or powers of the Series B Preferred Stock in a manner that would adversely affect the rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock. The Certificate of Designation states that the Company will not issue any other class of shares of preferred stock ranking senior to the Series B Preferred Stock.

 

The foregoing summary description of the rights and preferences of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Designation, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 3.1

 

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF

RIGHTS AND PREFERENCES

OF SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK

OF

EVO TRANSPORTATION & ENERGY SERVICES, INC.

 

EVO Transportation & Energy Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), does hereby certify that, in accordance with its Certificate of Incorporation, it has created a series of preferred stock of this Corporation to be known as Series B Preferred Stock and having the terms embodied in this Certificate of Designation.

 

1. Number; Title. Three million seventy-five thousand (3,075,000) shares of the Corporation’s authorized but undesignated stock are hereby designated as Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). Such number of shares may be increased or decreased (but not less than the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding) from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors without the consent or approval of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock. The rights, preferences, privileges, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the Series B Preferred Stock are as set forth in this Certificate. The Corporation will not issue any other class of shares of preferred stock ranking senior to the Series B Preferred Stock.

 

2. Dividends.

 

(a) Generally. The holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive if, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, an annual non-compounding dividend, payable at the rate of ten percent (10.0%) per annum on the initial Liquidation Price for five years from the date the Preferred Stock is issued and payable in arrears in the form of shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a rate of $3.00 per share, or, at the Corporation’s written option, quarterly in arrears in cash. Such dividends will not accrue with respect to shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued as dividends, will begin to accrue as of the date on which the Series B Preferred Stock is issued, and will accrue whether or not declared and whether or not there will be funds legally available for the payment of dividends. For the avoidance of doubt, no dividends shall accrue on the Series B Preferred Stock after March 23, 2025.

 

(b) Accrued and Unpaid Dividends Upon Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon any conversion pursuant to Section 6 hereof, all accrued and unpaid dividends will automatically be converted into shares of the Corporation’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). Each $1.00 of such accrued and unpaid dividends shall be converted into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing $1.00 by the Series B Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion.

 

 

 

 

3. Liquidation Preference.

 

(a) Definition. “Liquidation” means the dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, under chapter 11 or chapter 7 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as now constituted or hereafter amended, or any other federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law.

 

(b) Effect of Liquidation. In the event of any Liquidation:

 

(i) Liquidation Price. The holders of record of shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distributions of any assets of the Corporation to the holders of the Common Stock or any other class of shares of preferred stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to payments upon Liquidation (such preferred stock hereinafter called “Junior Liquidation Stock”) by reason of their ownership thereof, out of the assets of the Corporation legally available therefor, three dollars ($3.00) per share of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Liquidation Price”), plus accrued and unpaid dividends on each share of Series B Preferred Stock.

 

(ii) Participating Liquidation Stock. Following any distribution of assets or surplus funds of the Corporation to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock and any outstanding series of Junior Liquidation Stock, the remainder of any such assets or surplus funds will be distributed on a pro rata basis to the holders of the Common Stock and any series of preferred stock entitled to participate (“Participating Liquidation Stock”) with the Common Stock in any distribution of the assets and surplus funds of the Corporation upon its Liquidation.

 

(iii) Insufficient Funds; Par Liquidation Stock. If upon the occurrence of any Liquidation, the assets and funds of the Corporation available for the distribution to its shareholders will be insufficient to pay the full amount entitled to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of any other series of preferred stock then outstanding and ranking on a par with the Series B Preferred Stock upon its Liquidation (“Par Liquidation Stock”), the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and the Par Liquidation Stock will share ratably in any distribution of such assets and surplus funds in proportion to the respective amounts that would be payable in respect of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the Par Liquidation Stock held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.

 

4. Redemption.

 

(a) Optional Redemption of Series B Preferred Stock. At the option of the holder and upon written notice to the Corporation, the Series B Preferred Stock will be redeemable at any time after March 23, 2025 at the Liquidation Price plus all declared and unpaid dividends. In addition, the Corporation will have an ongoing right to purchase all or any portion of the outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock on the terms and conditions contained in this Section. If the Corporation exercises such option to purchase as to only a portion of the then-outstanding shares, such purchase will be made ratably from all holders of Series B Preferred Stock in proportion to their percentage ownership of the aggregate amount of the then-outstanding Series B Preferred Stock.

 

(b) Notice. The Corporation will notify all holders of record of Series B Preferred Stock of its election to exercise its redemption right by sending notice in writing to such holders at their last address as shown on the stock books of the Corporation. The Corporation will state in such notice the date upon which it desires to redeem such shares (the “Redemption Date”) and the percentage of the then-outstanding Series B Preferred Stock which it desires to redeem. The Redemption Date will be no less than 30 days after the mailing of such notice by the Corporation.

 

- 2 -

 

 

(c) Redemption Price. Any redemption of Series B Preferred Stock effected by the Corporation will be made out of funds legally available for redemptions at a price per share equal to the sum of (i) any accrued and unpaid dividends, plus (ii) the Liquidation Price therefor (the “Redemption Price”). The Corporation will pay the Redemption Price in full on the Redemption Date.

 

(d) Surrender of Shares. Upon a redemption, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock will surrender to the Corporation the certificates representing the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed, duly endorsed or assigned to the Corporation, and the holders will thereafter be entitled to receive payment in cash of the Redemption Price. If fewer than all the shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, the Corporation will issue a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares.

 

(e) Shares No Longer Outstanding. On the later of the Redemption Date or the date on which the Redemption Price is paid in full, (i) dividends on each share of Series B Preferred Stock redeemed hereunder will cease to accrue, (ii) such share will be deemed no longer outstanding, and (iii) all rights of the holder of such share as a holder of such share (except the right to receive from the Corporation the monies payable upon surrender of the certificates evidencing such share and redemption of such share) will cease.

 

5. Voting Rights.

 

(a) Generally. Except as otherwise provided herein or as required by law, holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to vote with the holders of Common Stock as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders and are entitled to four (4) votes for each share of Series B Preferred Stock held on the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to vote or, if no record date is established, on the date the vote is taken.

 

(b) Special Voting Rights. Without the affirmative vote or consent of holders of at least a majority of the Series B Preferred Stock at the time outstanding or except as otherwise provided herein, the Corporation will not amend this Certificate of Designation, including by merger or otherwise, so as to alter or repeal the preferences, rights, privileges or powers of the Series B Preferred Stock in a manner that would adversely affect the rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock.

 

6. Conversion Rights.

 

(a) Optional or Automatic Conversion. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at any time at the option of the holder or the Corporation without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Liquidation Price by the Series B Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion (the “Conversion Rate”). The “Series B Conversion Price” shall initially be equal to $3.00. Such initial Series B Conversion Price, and the rate at which Series B Preferred Stock shall be converted, if required, into shares of Common Stock, shall be subject to adjustments for stock dividends on the Common Stock, splits, combinations and similar events.

 

- 3 -

 

 

(b) Automatic Conversion Events. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock will convert into a number of shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Rate upon any of the following:

 

(i) on the date the closing price on all domestic securities exchanges on which the Common Stock may at the time be listed exceeds three dollars ($3.00) per share for ninety (90) consecutive trading days and the average daily trading volume of the Common Stock is at least twenty thousand (20,000) shares for that same period;

 

(ii) immediately prior to closing a firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) relating to an offer and sale of shares of Common Stock for the account of the Corporation to the public that generates gross proceeds to the Corporation (before payment of underwriting discounts and commissions) of at least $25,000,000; or

 

(iii) immediately prior to effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act covering shares of Common Stock sold in a private offering, which covered shares generated gross proceeds to the Corporation (before payment of commissions) of at least $25,000,000.

 

If the automatic conversion of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6(b)(i) or (ii) above occurs prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, then all dividends that would have accrued with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 2(a) hereto for the period from the conversion date to the fifth anniversary of the issuance date will be deemed to automatically accrue and be treated as accrued and unpaid dividends on such Series B Preferred Stock as of immediately prior to conversion.

 

(c) Mechanics of Corporation Elected Conversion. The Corporation may effect a conversion of all or a portion of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock by providing notice to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock. Upon receipt of a conversion notice from the Corporation, each holder will have five (5) days to exercise its redemption right to receive cash in lieu of the Common Stock that would otherwise be issued by the Corporation in connection with the conversion. Within ten (10) days of receipt of a conversion notice from the Corporation, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock who did not exercise their redemption right will then surrender to the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Series B Preferred Stock, and at such other office or offices, if any, as the Board of Directors may designate, certificates representing the shares to be converted, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer. Upon receipt of certificates representing shares of converted Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation will issue the holder certificates representing the Common Stock; provided, however, the Corporation may, in its own discretion, issue such certificates regardless of whether the holder surrenders the certificates representing the converted Series B Preferred Stock.

 

(d) Mechanics of Holder Elected Conversion. Each holder of Series B Preferred Stock may effect a conversion of all of such holder’s Series B Preferred Stock by providing the Corporation with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “Notice of Conversion”). The holder must elect to convert all of his/her/its shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The Notice of Conversion will specify the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the applicable Holder delivers such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation (such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date will be the date that such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation is deemed delivered hereunder. To effect a conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the holder will be required to surrender the certificate(s) representing such shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the Corporation.

 

- 4 -

 

 

(e) Reservation of Shares. A number of shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock sufficient to provide for the conversion of all of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock outstanding will at all times be reserved by the Corporation, free from preemptive rights, for such conversion. If the Corporation will issue any securities or make any change in its capital structure that would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Series B Preferred Stock will be convertible as herein provided, the Corporation will at the same time also make proper provision so that thereafter there will be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock on the new basis.

 

(f) Compliance with Securities Laws. The Corporation will comply with all securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

 

(g) Rounding. All calculations hereunder will be made to the nearest cent or rounded up to the nearest whole share, as the case may be.

 

(h) Notices. Whenever the conversion rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Corporation will give prompt notice by mail to the holders of record of the outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock of such adjustment, which notice will set forth the adjustment and the new conversion rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure by the Corporation to give such notice or a defect in such notice will not affect the binding nature of such corporate action by the Corporation.

 

(i) Common Stock Defined. As used in this Certificate of Designation, the term “Common Stock” will mean and include the Corporation’s presently authorized Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and will also include any capital stock of any class of the Corporation hereafter authorized which will have the right to vote on all matters submitted to the shareholders of the Corporation and will not be entitled to a preference or limited to a fixed sum or percentage in respect of the rights of the holders thereof to participate in dividends or in the distribution of assets upon any Liquidation of the Corporation.

This AMENDMENT TO FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT AND SECOND INCREMENTAL AMENDMENT TO FINANCING AGREEMENT (together with each exhibit, schedule and/or attachment hereto, this “Agreement”) dated as of March 24, 2020, is entered into by and among EVO TRANSPORTATION & ENERGY SERVICES, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), and all Subsidiaries of Borrower, as Guarantors, the Required Lenders under the Existing Financing Agreement that are party hereto, the Second Incremental Term Lenders party hereto and CORTLAND CAPITAL MARKET SERVICES LLC and its successors to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents (in such capacities, the “Administrative Agent” and the “Collateral Agent,” as applicable, and from time to time referred to herein without differentiation as an “Agent”).

 

Reference is made to the Financing Agreement, dated as of September 16, 2019, entered into by and among Borrower, the Guarantors party thereto, the Lenders party thereto, certain other parties and the Agent (as amended by the First Forbearance (defined below), the “Existing Financing Agreement,” as amended by this Agreement and as further amended, modified and supplemented from time to time, the “Financing Agreement”).

 

Reference is further made to the Forbearance Agreement and Incremental Amendment to Financing Agreement (the “First Forbearance”), dated as of February 27, 2020, entered into by and among the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Agent and the Incremental Term Lenders and the Required Lenders pursuant to which, among other things the Incremental Term Lenders (defined in the First Forbearance) provided $3,214,285.71 in Incremental Term Loans (defined in the First Forbearance). Except as expressly modified hereby, the First Forbearance remains in full force and effect.

 

Borrower has requested that (i) the financial institutions party hereto and listed on Schedule A (the “Second Incremental Term Lenders”) provide in the aggregate $3,061,224 in additional Term Loan Commitments having the same terms as the existing Term Loan Commitments, as amended hereby, (the “Second Incremental Term Loan Commitments” and the loans made thereunder, the “Second Incremental Term Loans”).

 

 

 

 

Pursuant to the First Forbearance, the Lenders and the Agent agreed to forbear from exercising certain rights, remedies, powers, privileges and defenses under the Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents, for the period of time set forth herein and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, solely with respect to the Specified Defaults defined in the First Forbearance. The Loan Parties now request that the definition of “Specified Defaults” be modified to include in addition to the previously scheduled Specified Defaults, the following additional Events of Default and/or expected or anticipated Events of Default arising under the Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents, which shall constitute Specified Defaults for all purposes under the First Forbearance:

Section 2. Agreement to Make Second Incremental Term Loans. Pursuant to Section 2.23 of the Financing Agreement, each Second Incremental Term Lender hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, to provide its respective Second Incremental Term Loan Commitment as set forth on Schedule A annexed hereto on the terms set forth in this Agreement, and its Second Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall be binding as of the Effective Date. Each Second Incremental Term Lender hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, to make a Second Incremental Term Loan to the Borrower having the same terms as the Term Loans on the Effective Date in the amount of its Second Incremental Term Loan Commitment. The Second Incremental Term Loans shall be subject in all respects to the terms of the Financing Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Second Incremental Term Loans shall (i) be evidenced by the Financing Agreement as provided in Section 2.6 thereof, (ii) bear interest at the rate, and such interest on the Second Incremental Term Loan shall be payable, as provided in Section 2.7 of the Financing Agreement, provided that during the Forbearance Period, Section 2.9 shall not apply to the Second Incremental Term Loans, (iii) mature and be payable together with all other Term Loans on the Term Loan Maturity Date as provided in Sections 2.1(a), 2.12, 2.13, 2.15 and 8 of the Financing Agreement, in each case together with any Prepayment Premium provided for in the Financing Agreement, (iv) be secured by all of the Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Documents, (v) together with interest thereon and all other obligations incurred by Borrower in connection therewith, constitute Obligations under the Financing Agreement, and (vi) constitute and be treated as Term Loans for all purposes under the Financing Agreement, including without limitation, Sections 2.14 and 2.16 therein. Each Second Incremental Term Lender (a) represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into this Agreement; (b) confirms that it has received a copy of the Loan Agreement, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with copies of the financial statements referred to therein and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement; (c) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (d) appoints and authorizes each applicable Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto as are delegated to each such Agent, as applicable, by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are incidental thereto; and (e) agrees that it will be bound by the provisions of the Loan Agreement and will perform in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement all the obligations which by the terms of the Loan Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender, including its obligations pursuant to Section 9.8 of the Loan Agreement. Each Second Incremental Term Lender has delivered herewith to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as such Second Incremental Term Lender may be required to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent pursuant Loan Agreement. This Agreement constitutes an Additional Credit Extension Amendment. For avoidance of doubt (A) Section 2.12(c) of the Financing Agreement applies to prepayments of Second Incremental Term Loans, (B) Section 2.10, providing for a two percent (2.0%) original issue discount, shall apply to the Second Incremental Term Loan and shall be paid on the Effective Date, and (C) the Required Lenders hereby waive the requirement of Section 2.23(b)(ii) of the Financing Agreement that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of funding of an incremental loan solely with respect to the making of the Second Incremental Term Loans provided for in this Agreement. This Agreement shall constitute a Funding Notice for the Second Incremental Term Loans. The first Interest Payment Date applicable to the Second Incremental Term Loans shall be March 31, 2020. Loan Parties agree that Borrower shall, without requirement of further notice or demand, make a mandatory prepayment to Agent of fifty percent (50%) of the USPS Reimbursements within one Business Day after receipt of immediately available funds in respect of such USPS Reimbursements, and in no event later than March 31, 2020, which amount shall be applied first to pay all interest then owing and unpaid in respect of the Second Incremental Term Loan and the remaining balance of such amount shall be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Second Incremental Term Loan, provided, however, that no Prepayment Premium shall be required (the “Second Incremental Term Loan Mandatory Prepayment”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, the Required Lenders agree that the Second Incremental Term Loan Mandatory Prepayment shall: (i) be applied only to prepay the outstanding principal balance of, and all interest due on, the Second Incremental Term Loan, but not a Prepayment Premium; and (ii) shall otherwise constitute and be accorded the treatment of a mandatory prepayment under Section 2.13 of the Financing Agreement for all purposes.

(a) The undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, the execution and delivery of which has been duly authorized, if applicable, and this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the undersigned.

 

2

 

 

(b) The undersigned acknowledges his, her or its understanding that the Offering and sale of the Shares is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and the provisions of Regulation D promulgated thereunder (“Regulation D”). In furtherance thereof, the undersigned represents and warrants to the Company and its affiliates as follows:

 

(i) The undersigned is acquiring the Shares solely for the undersigned’s own beneficial account, for investment purposes, and not with view to, or resale in connection with, any distribution of the Shares;

 

(ii) The undersigned has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of his, her or its investment, has adequate means for providing for their current needs and contingencies, and has no need for liquidity with respect to the investment in the Company;

 

(iii) The undersigned and the undersigned’s attorney, accountant, purchaser representative and/or tax advisor, if any (collectively, “Advisors”), have received the draft form of Certificate of Designation of Rights and Preferences of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”), relating to the rights and preferences of the Shares, and all other documents requested by the undersigned or Advisors, if any, have carefully reviewed them and understand the information contained therein, prior to the execution of this Agreement; and

 

(iv) The undersigned (together with his, her or its Advisors, if any) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Shares. If other than an individual, the undersigned also represents it has not been organized solely for the purpose of acquiring the Shares.

 

(c) The information in the Investor Questionnaire (attached as Appendix A) completed and executed by the undersigned (the “Investor Questionnaire”) is true and accurate in all respects, and the undersigned is an “accredited investor,” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.

 

(d) The undersigned has been furnished with a copy of the Certificate of Designation.

 

(e) The undersigned has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only his, her or its Advisors. Each Advisor, if any, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares, and each Advisor, if any, has disclosed to the undersigned in writing (a copy of which is annexed to this Agreement) the specific details of any and all past, present or future relationships, actual or contemplated, between the Advisor and the Company or any affiliate thereof.

 

(f) The undersigned represents, warrants and agrees that he, she or it will not sell or otherwise transfer the Shares without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and fully understands and agrees that the undersigned must bear the economic risk of his, her or its purchase because, among other reasons, the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under the applicable securities laws of such states, or an exemption from such registration is available. In particular, the undersigned is aware that the Shares are “restricted securities,” as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), and they may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 unless all of the conditions of Rule 144 are met.

(k) Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved the Shares or passed upon or endorsed the merits of the Offering. The Offering has not been reviewed by any Federal, state or other regulatory authority.

 

(l) The undersigned and his, her or its Advisors, if any, have had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from a person or persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning the Offering of the Shares and the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Company, and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of the undersigned and his, her or its Advisors, if any.

(p) The undersigned acknowledges that any estimates or forward-looking statements or projections included in the Company’s filings with the SEC were prepared by the management of the Company in good faith, but that the attainment of any such projections, estimates or forward-looking statements cannot be guaranteed by the Company or its management and should not be relied upon.

 

(q) No oral or written representations have been made, or oral or written information furnished, to the undersigned or his, her or its Advisors, if any, in connection with the Offering of the Shares which are in any way inconsistent with the information contained herein.

 

(r) The undersigned agrees, acknowledges and understands that during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the earlier of (i) the Company’s public announcement of the Offering and (ii) the date that is six months after the date hereof, the undersigned will not directly or indirectly, through related parties, affiliates or otherwise, purchase, sell “short” or “short against the box” (as those terms are generally understood) any equity security of the Company.

 

(s) The foregoing representations, warranties and agreements will survive the completion of the Offering.

6. Miscellaneous Provisions

 

(a) Piggy-Back Registration. If at any time on or after April 1, 2020, the Company proposes to file any registration statement (other than any registration on Form S-4, S-8 or any other similarly inappropriate form, or any successor forms thereto) under the Securities Act covering a public offering of the Company’s common stock, it will notify the Subscriber at least ten (10) days prior to each such filing and will use its best efforts to include in such Registration Statement (to the extent permitted by applicable regulation), the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares purchased by the Subscriber to the extent requested by the Subscriber within five (5) days after receipt of notice of such filing (which request shall specify the shares of the Company’s common stock intended to be sold or disposed of by the Subscriber and describe the nature of any proposed sale or other disposition thereof); provided, however, that if a greater number of shares of the Company’s common stock is offered for participation in the proposed offering than in the reasonable opinion of the managing underwriter (if any) of the proposed offering can be accommodated without adversely affecting the proposed offering, then the amount of shares of the Company’s common stock proposed to be offered by the Subscriber for registration, as well as the number of securities of any other selling stockholders participating in the registration, will be proportionately reduced to a number deemed satisfactory by the managing underwriter. The Company will bear all expenses and fees incurred in connection with the preparation, filing, and amendment of the registration statement with the SEC, except that the Subscriber shall pay all fees, disbursements and expenses of any counsel or expert retained by the Subscriber and all underwriting discounts and commissions, filing fees and any transfer or other taxes relating to the Shares included in the registration statement. The Subscriber agrees to cooperate with the Company in the preparation and filing of any registration statement, and in the furnishing of information concerning the Subscriber for inclusion therein, or in any efforts by the Company to establish that the proposed sale is exempt under the Securities Act as to any proposed distribution.

 

(b) Modification. Neither this Agreement, nor any provisions hereof, may be waived, modified, discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom any waiver, modification, discharge or termination is sought.

 

(c) Survival. The undersigned’s representations and warranties made in this Subscription Agreement survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the delivery of the Shares.

Any party may change the address to which notices, requests, demands, claims and other communications hereunder are to be delivered by giving the other parties written notice in the manner herein set forth.

 

(e) Binding Effect.
