Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On January 29, 2021, COMSovereign Holding Corp. (“we,” “us,” or “our company”) completed the acquisition of a 140,000-square-foot building on 12.7 acres in Tucson, Arizona for a purchase price of approximately $6.125 million, of which approximately $2.2 million was paid in cash and the balance was paid with the net proceeds of the $5.3 million term loan described below. We intend to use this facility for manufacturing, shipping and office space.

 

On January 29, 2021, in connection with the acquisition of our new manufacturing facility in Tucson, Arizona, our wholly-owned subsidiary, AZCOMS LLC (“AZCOMS”), the purchaser of such facility, entered into a secured loan agreement pursuant to which it received a loan in the amount of up to $5,355,000 that bears interest on the outstanding loan balance at the greater of (i) 8% per annum or (ii) 6.75% per annum in excess of the 1-month LIBOR rate, and matures on January 15, 2022. At the closing of the loan, the lender withheld $513,000 of the loan amount as an interest reserve, which we accounted for as a debt discount. In addition, $875,000 of the loan amount was withheld and may be disbursed at later dates to pay for lender-approved improvements to the property secured by the loan. Interest is payable monthly. The loan is due in full at maturity. Upon an event of default, the interest rate on the loan will increase by an additional 5.00% per annum, and the outstanding principal amount of the loan, accrued interest thereon and fees may become due on demand. Upon the maturity date or earlier date upon which the unpaid balance of the loan may become immediately payable due to acceleration, and on any prepayments of the loan, AZCOMS will owe an exit fee equal to the greater of (a) $53,850, or (b) 1.00% of the unpaid loan balance and all unpaid accrued interest and fees. Subject to certain terms and conditions and upon payment of a fee, AZCOMS may request a 6-month extension of the maturity date. The loan is secured by the land, building and certain other assets of AZCOMS and is guaranteed by our company and by our Chief Executive Officer, Daniel L. Hodges. In addition, all rights to leases and rent related to the land and building assets have been assigned to the lender for potential non-performance by AZCOMS of its obligations under the loan. This loan is subject to certain financial and non-financial covenants on the part of AZCOMS at the end of each fiscal quarter and fiscal year.

 

 The foregoing summary of the loan agreement is qualified in its entirety by the copy of the loan agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this current report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On January 29, 2021, we completed our previously announced acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of Skyline Partners Technology LLC., a Colorado limited partnership that does business under the name Fastback Systems  (“Fastback”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated as of August 24, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among our company and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, CHC Merger Sub 8, LLC (“Merger Sub”) and John Helson, solely in his capacity as the representative of the members of Fastback.

 

As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 26, 2020, we agreed to acquire 100% of the outstanding membership interests of Fastback pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub has merged with and into Fastback (the “Merger”), whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased and Fastback, as the surviving entity of the Merger, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of our company.

 

We believe Fastback has been a leader in the development and commercialization of innovative intelligent backhaul radio (IBR) systems that deliver high-performance wireless connectivity to virtually any location, including those challenged by Non-Line of Sight (NLOS) limitations. Fastback’s advanced IBR products allow operators to economically add capacity and density to their macrocells and expand service coverage density with small cells. These solutions also allow operators to both provide temporary cellular and data service utilizing mobile/portable radio systems and provide wireless Ethernet connectivity.

 

In connection with the Merger, all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Fastback were automatically cancelled and the members of Fastback received merger consideration consisting of, in the aggregate, (i) approximately $1.32 million in cash, (ii) $1.5 million aggregate principal amount of term notes (collectively, the “Term Notes”), and (iii) $11.15 million aggregate principal amount of convertible notes (collectively, the “Convertible Notes”).

 

1

 

 

The Term Notes bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum and mature on the earlier of (i) January 1, 2022, (ii) the date on which an aggregate of $6,000,000 worth of products and services are sold following the acquisition date by (A) Fastback or (B) our company and our subsidiaries (other than Fastback) to certain specified Fastback customers, or (iii) the date on which we issue and sell shares of our common stock or debt securities to investors in a bona-fide arms-length financing transaction for aggregate consideration of at least $12,000,000. Interest is payable in cash semiannually in arrears on each June 1 and December 1, commencing on June 1, 2021, and on the maturity date. Upon an event of default, the interest rate will automatically increase to 15% per annum compounded semiannually, and all unpaid principal and accrued interest may become due on demand. Upon maturity, the interest rate will automatically increase to 15% per annum compounded semiannually on any unpaid principal.

 

The Convertible Notes initially bear interest at the rate of 1.01% per annum, which is to be adjusted to the prime rate as published by the Wall Street Journal on each annual anniversary of the issuance date, and mature on January 29, 2026. Interest is payable in cash annually in arrears on each January 1. Commencing on January 29, 2022, the principal and accrued interest on these notes may be converted in full to shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $5.22 per share, subject to adjustment. Upon an event of default, the interest rate will automatically increase to 15% per annum compounded annually, and all unpaid principal and accrued interest may become due on demand. Upon maturity, the interest rate will automatically increase to 15% per annum compounded annually on any unpaid principal.

 

The forms of the Term Notes and the Convertible Notes are attached as Exhibit 4.1 and 4.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities.

Capitalized terms used in this Note without definition shall have the meanings given to them in the Merger Agreement.

 

2. Maturity; Payments; Prepayment; Waiver of Presentment.

 

(a) Maturity Date. This Note shall mature on January 29, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”). At any time on or after the Maturity Date, if this Note has not been paid in full, the Holder, may: (i) by providing a Conversion Notice to the Company in accordance with Section 3, below, elect to be paid in cash all unpaid accrued interest of this Note through the Conversion Date and convert the unpaid principal of the Note into shares of CHC Common Stock in accordance with Section 3; (ii) demand payment of the entire outstanding principal balance and all unpaid accrued interest under this Note (a “Payment Demand”); or (iii) continue to hold this Note, in which case the interest rate shall be increased to fifteen percent (15%) and this Note shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate of 15% per annum compounded annually, until such time as (x) Holder makes a Payment Demand and the Note is repaid in full; or (y) this Note is converted in full pursuant to Section 3.

 

(b) Interest. Interest on the outstanding principal amount shall accrue at the rate of 1.01% per annum and shall be adjusted to the Prime Rate as published by the Wall Street Journal on each annual anniversary of the Closing Date so long as the Note is outstanding (subject to adjustment as set forth below), or the maximum rate permissible by law, whichever is less, and calculated on the basis of a 365 day year for the actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall commence on the date hereof and shall continue on the outstanding principal balance hereof until paid in full.

 

 

 

 

(c) Payments.

 

(i) The Company shall make annual payments of all accrued, unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount on January 1 of each year that this Note is outstanding.

 

(ii) Following the Maturity Date, the Company shall give the Holder written notice at least 15 days prior to any repayment of this Note so that Holder may elect to convert the Note pursuant to Section 3 prior to any such repayment.

 

(iii) All payments of principal and interest shall be in lawful money of the United States of America and shall be payable at the office of the Holder listed on the Company’s records, unless another place of payment shall be specified in writing by the Holder. All payments shall be applied first to any fees or expenses due to the Holder then to accrued interest, including any interest that accrues after the commencement of a proceeding by or against the Company under Title 11 of the United States Code, and thereafter to the outstanding principal balance hereof. If any payments on this Note become due on a Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday under the laws of the State of Nevada, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding business day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment. Each payment which is made on the Convertible Debentures (whether of principal, interest, or any other amount) shall be allocated and remitted pro rata among the Holders of the outstanding Convertible Debentures, based upon the aggregate outstanding principal amount on the Convertible Debentures. If any Holder receives any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset, or otherwise) under this Note in excess of Holder’s pro rata share of the payments received by all Holders of the Convertible Debentures, then Holder shall hold in trust all such excess payments for the benefit of the Holders of the other Convertible Debentures, and shall pay such amounts held in trust to such other Holders upon demand.

 

(d) Prepayment. This Note may not be prepaid by the Company prior to the Maturity Date without the written consent of the Holder.

 

(e) Waiver. The Company hereby waives demand, notice, presentment, protest and notice of dishonor.

 

3. Conversion.

 

(a) Within three (3) business days of the receipt by the Company from the Holder of a written notice to convert this Note pursuant to this Section 3 given at any time that is more than one (1) year after the date of issuance of this note (a “Conversion Notice”), (i) the Company shall pay to the Holder any accrued and unpaid interest through the date on which such Conversion Notice is given (the “Conversion Date”), and (ii) the Company shall instruct its transfer agent to convert the entire outstanding principal balance hereof into a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “CHC Common Stock”) equal to (x) the outstanding principal balance hereof, divided by $5.22 (the “Conversion Price”); provided that a Conversion Notice given on or after the Maturity Date must be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 2(a), above. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note to the contrary, this Note may not be converted at any time within one (1) year of the date of issuance of this Note.

 

2

 

 

(b) Corporate Transaction. In the event that (i) the Company enters into an agreement pertaining to (A) a sale, lease, conveyance, exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or (B) (1) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or other entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, in which the equityholders of the Company immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization own less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the surviving or successor entity (or in the event stock or ownership interests of an affiliated entity are issued in such transaction, less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of such affiliated entity) immediately after such consolidation, merger or reorganization; or (2) any transaction or series of related transactions to which the Company is a party in which in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Company’s outstanding voting power is transferred; other than (x) any consolidation or merger effected exclusively to change the domicile of the Company, or (y) any transaction or series of transactions principally for bona fide equity financing purposes in which cash is received by the Company or any successor or indebtedness of the Company is cancelled or converted or a combination thereof (each such event described in (A) and (B) above being referred to herein as a “Corporate Transaction”), and (ii) the Note has not previously been paid in full or converted into capital securities of the Company, then, before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of equity securities of the Company, the Holder shall be entitled to be paid the greater of (X) the principal balance of this Note then outstanding plus unpaid accrued interest thereon through the date of such Corporate Transaction, or (Y) the amount that the Holder would have received had the Note been converted pursuant to Section 3(a) above.

 

(c) Conversion Procedures. Upon the conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 3(a), this Note shall be converted automatically without any further action by the Holder and whether or not this Note is surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent.

 

(d) Fractional Equity. No fractional share shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note. All shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the conversion would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, either pay the Holder who is otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the fair market value of such fraction on the date of conversion (as determined in good faith by the Board of the Company) or issue a full share in lieu of such fractional share.

 

(e) Restrictive Legends. If, at the time of conversion of this Note, the Holder has held this Note for a period of at least one year and the Holder has not been for a period of at least three months an “affiliate” of the Company, the Company shall cause to be delivered to its transfer agent in connection with the issuance of the shares of CHC Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, a legal opinion from the Company’s corporate counsel opining that, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, such shares of CHC Common Stock need not include any restrictive legend or market place trading or transfer restrictions.

 

(f) Adjustment of Conversion Price. If the Company subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of CHC Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of CHC Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 3(f) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

(ix) the Company fails to convert this Note as required hereunder and the Company fails to cure such breach within five (5) days of the Company becoming aware of the occurrence of such breach;

 

(x) (A) the Company fails to file any form, report or document required to be filed with the Securities Exchange Commission within 10 days of the due date thereof, (B) the Company voluntarily begins a process to delist from any stock exchange on which the CHC Common Stock is then listed, or (C) the Company receives any delisting warning from any stock exchange on which the CHC Common Stock is then listed and such warning is not cured or withdrawn within 120 days; and

8.3 Securities Act of 1933. By accepting this Warrant, the Holder agrees that this Warrant and the shares of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may not be offered or sold except in compliance with the Securities Act, and then only with the recipient's agreement to comply with this Section 8 with respect to any resale or other disposition of such securities. The Corporation may make a notation on its records in order to implement such restriction on transferability.

Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall, if requested by the Corporation, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Corporation, that the shares of Common Stock so purchased are being acquired solely for Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment, and not with a view toward distribution or resale.

8.5 Registration. Holder understands that the Corporation intends, within fifteen (15) business days of the date the Corporation files its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, to file with the Securities and Commission (the “SEC”) a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as possible and shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective during the entire period that the Warrants remain outstanding (or until such earlier time as the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants are freely tradeable without such registration). Within two Business Days immediately following the effective date of such Registration Statement, the Corporation intends to file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the Securities Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Registration Statement (whether or not such filing is technically required under such Rule). Holder understands that until such Registration Statement becomes effective: (i) that the Securities issuable upon exercise of Holder’s rights contained herein are not registered under the Securities Act or qualified under applicable state securities laws on the ground that the issuance contemplated by this Warrant will be exempt from the registration and qualification requirements thereof, and (ii) that the Company’s reliance on such exemption is predicated on the Holder’s representations set forth herein. In the absence of an effective Registration Statement, each certificate representing shares of Common Stock issued on exercise of this Warrant or other securities issued in respect of such Common Stock upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event, shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form (in addition to any other legend required under applicable securities laws):

 

THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS ("STATE ACTS") AND ARE RESTRICTED SECURITIES AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR QUALIFICATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE ACTS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE ACTS, THE AVAILABILITY OF WHICH IS TO BE ESTABLISHED TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE COMPANY.

 

9. Loss or Mutilation. Upon the Corporation's receipt of reasonably satisfactory evidence of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of a reasonably satisfactory indemnity or (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Corporation shall execute and deliver a new Warrant to the Holder.

 

10. Successors. All the covenants and provisions of this Warrant shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Holder and the Corporation and their respective successors and assigns.

HOLDBACK INTEREST RESERVE. Upon the closing of the Loan, Lender will not advance to Borrower $513,000.00 of the Loan (the “Interest Reserve”). Lender will advance amounts from the Interest Reserve from time to time to itself to pay accrued interest on the Loan on the terms and conditions of this paragraph. Notwithstanding this holdback for interest payments, Borrower acknowledges that Lender is committing and reserving funds in the amount of the Interest Reserve for payment of interest on the Loan. Therefore, Borrower agrees that the entire amount of the Interest Reserve will bear interest from the date of the Loan closing at the Loan Rate from time to time in effect. Lender is not required to set aside the Interest Reserve in a separate account, the Interest Reserve merely being a way for Lender to account for and keep track of the amount of its commitment to advance the Interest Reserve amount. On or before the fifteenth (15th) day of each calendar quarter, Borrower will, or will cause its property manager, to deliver to Lender an operating statement showing the Net Operating Income for the calendar quarter just ended, which will be an itemized accounting of all rental revenues from the Collateral, all Collateral operating expenses paid, payments into reserves (subject to approval by Lender of the amounts thereof), and Borrower’s calculation of the remaining cash available for payment of the monthly interest installments on the Loan due for the following calendar quarter. Lender will make any adjustments to the calculation of the remaining cash available for payment of the monthly interest installment as it deems appropriate, and provided there is no Event of Default, and no event or condition which after if not cured after notice or passage of time will be an Event of Default, subject to there being a sufficient amount remaining in the Interest Reserve, Lender will pay to itself on the first (1st) day of each calendar month of that next calendar quarter from the amount in the Interest Reserve the excess, if any, of the monthly interest installment amount over one-third (1/3) of the remaining cash available for payment, as determined by Lender. If an Event of Default or event or condition which after if not cured after notice or passage of time will be an Event of Default, Lender may but is not obligated to make an advance from the Interest Reserve to pay monthly interest installments becoming due. Nothing herein will be construed to relieve Borrower of its obligation under the Note to make the monthly interest installments thereunder when due. If Borrower is required under any other provision of this Loan Agreement to make any payments into the Interest Reserve, Borrower’s funds will be disbursed first to pay interest in accordance with this paragraph before any additional Loan proceeds are advanced from the Interest Reserve, and Lender may commingle Borrower’s funds with other funds of Lender, or set up a separate account for holding of Borrower’s funds. Borrower grants to Lender a security interest in any of Borrower’s funds being held by Lender, and Borrower will execute and deliver within ten (10) days after request any security agreements, deposit account control agreements, and other documents required by Lender to establish its dominion and control over any such separate account and confirm and perfect Lender’s security interest therein.

 

RESERVES FOR TENANT IMPROVEMENT EXPENSES.

 

(a) Reserve Amounts and Purposes. Borrower agrees and acknowledges that up to Eight Hundred Seventy Five Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents ($875,000.00) (the “TI Reserve”) of the amount of the Loan will not be disbursed to Borrower at the time of closing of the Loan. The TI Reserve shall instead be disbursed from time to time in accordance with subparagraph (b) below as advances of the Loan (each a “TI Advance”) to be used by Borrower to pay for expenses of tenant improvements to be built by Borrower (a “Landlord Build-Out”) for the tenant under the Approved Lease or by the tenant under the Approved Lease (a “Tenant Build-Out;” and together with the Landlord Build-Outs, “TI Work”). Each advance or disbursement of the TI Reserve shall bear interest from the date it is advanced.

 

(b) Advances of TI Reserve. The maximum amount of the total advances from the TI Reserve for a Landlord Build-Out or Tenant Build-Out pursuant to an Approved Lease shall not exceed Six Dollars and Twenty Five Cents ($6.25) per rentable square foot of the premises leased. Lender’s obligation to make a TI Advance is additionally conditioned upon the following:  (a) at the time the TI Advance will be disbursed, no Event of Default exists and no default has occurred which if not cured after notice and expiration of any applicable cure period will become an Event of Default; (b) to the extent required by Lender, Lender has approved the budget for the tenant improvements, the plans and specifications for the tenant improvements (and any material amendments thereto), the general contractor performing the tenant improvement work, and its construction contract for the work, and Tenant’s rights in the plans and specification and construction contract shall have been collaterally assigned to Lender; (c) Borrower has delivered to Lender copies of the building and other permits and governmental approvals necessary for the lawful completion of the tenant improvements, building department sign offs on the work as it progresses, and a certificate of occupancy or its equivalent when the work is completed; (d) Borrower has delivered a request for the TI Advance in form required by Lender together with any documentation relating to the expenses to be paid as Lender may reasonably require, including conditional and unconditional partial or full mechanic’s lien releases for payments to the contractor or for other work for which a mechanic’s lien may be filed; (e) the work for the TI Advance is requested has been completed to the satisfaction of Lender; (f) if the TI Advance to be made by Lender is insufficient to pay the full amount of the tenant improvement budget to be paid by Borrower for a Landlord Build-Out or tenant improvement allowance for a Tenant Build-Out, Borrower has provided assurances satisfactory to Lender respecting the source of payment of the difference, which Lender may require be deposited with it to be disbursed prior to the disbursement of the TI Advance, and Lender may require that the additional costs be paid from Borrower’s funds or the other sources of payment before Lender is required to make a disbursement of the TI Advance; (g) the tenant improvements are projected to be completed before the Maturity Date (taking into account Borrower’s extension option, only if previously exercised).  Lender will make disbursements of TI Advances no more often than once every month in the amount of expenses payable from the TI Advance paid or incurred by Borrower and not covered by a prior disbursement of the TI Advance upon delivery of a request for payment; (h) if required by Lender, Borrower shall have delivered dual obligee payment and performance bonds in form and issued by a surety approved by Lender, covering the TI Work; (i) if required by Lender, a title search showing that no mechanic’s liens have been recorded against the Property, or if recorded, they have been released by the posting by Borrower of a bond in accordance with applicable laws; and (j) evidence of any builder’s risk or other insurance required by Lender shall have been delivered to Lender.

(c) Time to Fund a Request for Advance. Borrower shall make each request for disbursement of a TI Advance at least 10 days before the end of each calendar month. If and to the extent Lender approves the request or any part of it, Lender will use reasonable efforts to make the requested TI Advance on or before the later of the first day of the next calendar month or 11 business days after delivery of Borrower’s request for the disbursement. Lender may at its option make the advance directly to Borrower or to the contractor or other persons entitled to payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph, Borrower shall submit a single monthly request for disbursement covering all TI Advances then being requested. Lender shall not be required to make TI Advances more frequently than once a month or in an amount of less than $50,000, except if the undisbursed balance of the TI Reserve is less than $50,000.00, the final advance may be for the remaining amount of the TI Reserve or a lesser amount to which Borrower is entitled.

 

(d) Compliance with Prompt Payment Statute. Borrower shall comply with Arizona Revised Statutes (“A.R.S.”) Sections 32-1129 through 32-1129.07, inclusive (collectively, the “Prompt Payment Statute”). Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that Borrower is the “Owner” for purposes of the Prompt Payment Statute. Lender shall not be an “Owner” for purposes of the Prompt Payment Statute, and Lender shall not be a “third party designated by Owner as the person responsible for making progress payments on a construction contract” (a “Designated Payor”) as used in the Prompt Payment Statute. Borrower shall not cause or permit any statements or representations to be made or agreements to be entered into pursuant to Lender would or might be asserted to be a Designated Payor. Borrower agrees that Lender is not responsible for compliance with the Prompt Payment Statute, and Borrower shall be solely responsible for such compliance. Borrower’s obligation of compliance with the Prompt Payment Statute shall not in any way expand the obligations of Lender hereunder, and Lender shall at all times retain the right to approve or disapprove requests for advances from the Reserves for Tenant Improvements and Other Expenses in accordance with this Agreement regardless of Borrower’s obligations to any construction contractor. Lender shall not have any liability or obligation to Borrower or any other person to approve requests for advances or make advances within any time periods required pursuant to the Prompt Payment Statute, and Lender shall not have any liability or obligation for costs, fees, expenses, or damages of any nature incurred by Borrower by reason of any failure to comply with the Prompt Payment Statute. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower acknowledges, represents and warrants to Lender that (i) Borrower has taken into consideration the period of time within which Lender has to approve requests for advances pursuant to this Agreement (the “Lender’s Review Period”), (ii) Borrower has taken into consideration the period of time within which Lender has to make advances once the conditions precedent to advances have been satisfied (“Lender’s Disbursement Period”), and (iii) to the extent that Lender’s Review Period or Lender’s Disbursement Period may extend beyond any period of time required pursuant to the Prompt Payment Statute within which Borrower may either approve and certify any billing or estimate (or within which any billing or estimate may be deemed approved) or make payments to any construction contractor, then Borrower has complied with the provisions of the Prompt Payment Statute extending the billing cycle, payment provisions or approval periods in order to conform such periods to Lender’s Review Period and Lender’s Disbursement Period. Without limiting any of the other requirements or provisions of this paragraph, in addition to all other requirements of this Agreement respecting requests for disbursements and the making of disbursements, Borrower shall provide to Lender a request for advance, together with all other supporting materials (including, without limitation, invoices and lien waivers and the other items and information required pursuant to this Agreement) each month at least 10 days prior to the date on which a billing or estimate by any construction contractor may be deemed approved by Owner pursuant to A.R.S. Section 32-1129.01.D or any similar or successor provision of the Prompt Payment Statute.

 

CONSTRUCTION CONSULTANT. Lender has engaged Partner Engineering and Science, Inc. as its construction consultant to advise it concerning the design and construction of the TI Work, including the acceptance of requests for disbursement of the TI Reserve and any Borrower funds provided to Lender to pay for costs of the TI Work. If Lender chooses to change its construction consultant, the references in this Addendum to “construction consultant” shall refer to whatever construction consultant is engaged by Lender. The reasonable fees of the construction consultant shall be costs of the TI Work, which Lender may pay from the TI Reserve or any Borrower funds held by Lender for payment of costs of TI Work, including but not limited to a fee for each disbursement. The fees will include a fee for an initial Property status inspection estimated to be $900.00, a document and cost review fee estimated at $2,800.00 for TI Work for each Approved Lease, construction progress monitoring estimated at $1,000.00 for each disbursement, contractor evaluation for the contractor performing the TI Work estimated to cost $1,500.00 (contractor evaluation shall not be required if a prior, satisfactory evaluation has been completed within 12 months prior to the date of commencement of the TI Work, and fund control and disbursement of $700.00 for each disbursement. Borrower agrees that the foregoing amounts are reasonable. The foregoing fee amounts are based upon the current amounts charged by Partner Engineering and Science, Inc., and are subject to change, if Partner Engineering and Science, Inc. changes the amount of the fees it charges to Lender, provided such changed fees are consistent with market charges.

 

PAYMENTS. The unpaid principal balance of the Loan shall bear interest at the rate set forth below commencing on the date of funding. Borrower shall make a payment of interest on the date of closing of the Loan for the interest which will accrue from the date of funding through the end of the calendar month in which the closing occurs, and Borrower will thereafter make payments of accrued interest monthly in arrears commencing on the first day of the second month following funding, and continuing on the first day of each calendar month thereafter until the Maturity Date, on which date the entire unpaid balance of principal, interest, and charges will be due and payable. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to late charges and any other amounts due, then to any accrued and unpaid interest, and then to principal. Borrower will pay Lender at Lender’s address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked “paid in full”, “without recourse”, or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender’s rights under this Loan Agreement or any of the Related Documents, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes “payment in full” of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: TerraCotta Credit REIT, LLC, 2321 Rosecrans Avenue, Suite 3270 El Segundo, CA 90245.

To the extent not paid from the Interest Reserve, Borrower shall make all monthly payments of interest (or the part thereof not funded from the Interest Reserve) through automated clearing house (“ACH”) transfers from the Borrower’s designated operating account (the “Payment Account”) directly to Lender. Borrower shall to execute and deliver to Lender an authorization agreement for direct payments in which, among other things, Lender shall be irrevocably authorized to initiate ACH transfers from the Payment Account to Lender for the monthly payments of interest. Lender’s authorization for direct ACH transfers shall be irrevocable and such ACH transfers shall continue until the Loan has been paid in full. Borrower shall: (i) not revoke Lender’s authority to initiate ACH transfers; (ii) not change, modify, close or otherwise affect the Payment Account; (iii) deposit all revenues of any nature or kind whatsoever from the Property and any other payments to Borrower only into the Payment Account; and (iv) be responsible for all costs, expenses or other fees and charges incurred by Lender as a result of any failed or returned ACH transfers, whether resulting from insufficient sums being available in the Payment Account, or otherwise. Borrower shall take any and all required actions, execute any required documents, instruments or agreements, and do any other thing required or requested by Lender in order to effectuate the requirements of this paragraph.

 

OVERPAYMENTS. If Borrower makes a payment to Lender on account of an amount due on the Indebtedness, which is in excess of the amount then due, the excess amount will be held by Lender in a suspense account and applied to the next payment becoming due on the Loan. Borrower grants to Lender a security interest in the funds held by Lender in the suspense account to secure payment of the Indebtedness and all other obligations of Borrower to Lender related to the Loan. The suspense account will be an account entry in Lender’s books and records and not a separate bank account. Lender may commingle the excess funds with other funds of Lender, and no interest will be due to Borrower on the excess funds.

 

VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on the Loan is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an independent index which is the 1 Month LIBOR (the “Index”). Interest shall accrue on all outstanding amounts at the per annum rate (the “Note Rate”) equal to the greater of (i) Eight and 00/100 percent (8.00%) per annum or (ii) Six and 75/100 percent (6.75%) per annum in excess of the Libor Rate (as hereinafter defined) in effect from time to time. “Libor Rate” means the rate per annum published by the Wall Street Journal on the date of an interest rate change in its “Money Rates” section, as the London Interbank Offered Rates (LIBOR) on U.S. Dollar deposits for one (1)-month periods of time. If the Wall Street Journal Libor Rate becomes unavailable at any time, Lender may designate a comparable index. Interest shall accrue on all outstanding amounts at the applicable rate set forth in this Loan Agreement both before and after default and before and after maturity and judgment. The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans. The interest rate change will occur on the first day of each Month based upon the Index on that date. If the first day of the Month is not a business day (a business day is every day, other than Saturday, Sunday, or any day that the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco is not open for business), the interest rate will be based upon the Index on the first business day preceding the first day of the Month. Interest rate changes will not occur more often than each Month. Lender is not required to give notice to Borrower of an interest rate change. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note will be calculated as described in the “INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD” paragraph using a rate of percentage points over the Index, adjusted if necessary for any minimum and maximum rate limitations described below. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be less than 8.00% per annum or more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. Whenever increases occur in the interest rate, Lender, at its option, may do one or more of the following: (A) increase Borrower’s payments to cover accruing interest, and (B) continue Borrower’s payments at the same amount and increase Borrower’s final payment.

 

INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD. Interest on the Loan is computed on an actual/360 day basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. All interest payable on the Loan is computed using this method.

 

PREPAYMENT FEE. Borrower agrees that all loan fees and other prepaid finance charges are earned fully as of the date of the Loan and will not be subject to refund upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of default), except as otherwise required by law. Borrower has the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part at any time; provided, however, that during the first Six (6) months of the Loan term, Borrower must pay to Lender at the time the prepayment is made and as a condition of Borrower’s right to prepay, a prepayment fee equal to One percent (1.00%) of the amount of principal prepaid. ANY PREPAYMENT FEE SHALL APPLY NOT ONLY IN THE CASE OF VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENT, BUT ALSO IF THE LOAN BECOMES DUE AND PAYABLE IN FULL BY REASON OF ACCELERATION UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT (AS HEREIN DEFINED) OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, UPON OCCURRENCE OF A TRANSFER OF THE PROPERTY, WHETHER VOLUNTARILY OR INVOLUNTARILY OR OTHERWISE. In such case, the Prepayment Fee shall be calculated as of the date of an Event of Default, or other event or condition triggering acceleration, and until paid in full shall accrue interest at the Default Rate. Whether prepayment is voluntary or involuntary, in no event shall the amount of the Prepayment Fee, or the method of calculating the Prepayment Fee, result in a reduction of the outstanding principal balance, accrued and unpaid interest, or other amounts due as of the date of prepayment. Absent material and manifest error, Lender’s determination of the Prepayment Fee shall be binding and conclusive on Borrower and anyone else having an interest in the determination. Any such prepayment shall not result in a reamortization, deferral, postponement, suspension, or waiver of any and all other payments due under the Loan.

INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon an Event of Default, the interest rate on the Loan shall, if permitted under applicable law, immediately increase by adding an additional five percentage point margin (5.000%) (“Default Rate Margin”). The Default Rate Margin shall also apply to each succeeding interest rate change that would have applied had there been no default.

 

LATE CHARGE. If a payment is late five (5) or more days, if permitted by applicable law, Borrower will be charged 6.000% of the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled payment or $500.00, whichever is greater, as a late charge.

 

DISHONORED ITEM FEE. Borrower will pay a fee to Lender of $50.00 if Borrower makes a payment on the Loan and the check or preauthorized charge with which Borrower pays is later dishonored.

 

EXTENSION OPTION. Borrower may request One (1) Six (6) month extension of the Maturity Date, subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

(i) Borrower shall request any such extension in writing, received by Lender no less than sixty (60) days prior to the original Maturity Date;

 

(ii) No Event of Default exists or has existed within the last 180 days prior to the date of commencement of the extension period, and no event has occurred, which upon the lapse of time, giving of notice or both would constitute an Event of Default either at the time of delivery of the notice of extension or date of commencement of the extension period; provided, however, that if at the time of delivery of the notice of extension or date of commencement of the extension period, a curable event has occurred, which upon the lapse of time, giving of notice or both would constitute an Event of Default, but the period to cure has not expired, and the cure is thereafter completed before expiration of the cure period, the existence of such event shall not prevent this condition from being satisfied;

 

(iii) Borrower shall pay to Lender a fee, at time of extension, in the amount of 1.00% of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan, plus all accrued interest and fees and undisbursed Loan reserves and holdbacks;

 

(iv) The Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio based upon the “as is” appraised value of the Property as of the later of the date of delivery of the extension notice or sixty (60) days before the original Maturity Date, as determined by Lender, is no greater than 75.00%, based upon the unpaid principal balance of the Loan and undisbursed Loan reserves and holdbacks; and;

 

(v) (v) The Extension Effective Debt Service Coverage Ratio (defined below) as of the end of the last calendar quarter (the “Extension Determination Date”) immediately preceding the calendar quarter in which the first (1st) day of the extension period falls is 1.25 to 1.00 or greater. “Extension Effective Debt Service Coverage Ratio” means as of an Extension Determination Date the ratio of (a) (i) the quarterly Net Operating Income for such immediately preceding calendar quarter, multiplied by the number of calendar quarters remaining after the Extension Determination Date until the Maturity Date (assuming it has been extended by the length of the requested extension) (prorated for any partial calendar quarters), plus (ii) the undisbursed balance of the Interest Reserve as of the Extension Determination Date, to (b) the Extension Debt Service (as defined below). “Extension Debt Service” means the aggregate of all payments of interest that would be required to be paid by Borrower for the remaining period from the Extension Determination Date until the Maturity Date (assuming it has been extended by the length of the requested extension) on the unpaid principal balance of the Loan estimated by Lender to be outstanding from time to time for such remaining period, taking into account the anticipated timing of disbursement of undisbursed amounts, if any, of holdbacks and reserves, assuming the interest rate payable under the Note as of the Extension Determination Date continues in effect for that remaining period. If Lender has determined that Borrower has not met the Extension Effective Debt Service Coverage Ratio condition as of the Extension Determination Date, Borrower may satisfy this condition of the extension by delivering to Lender before the commencement of the extension period a cash payment in the amount necessary to increase the level of the Interest Reserve to an amount which would have brought Borrower into compliance with the Extension Effective Debt Service Coverage Ratio condition had such amount been in the Interest Reserve on the Extension Determination Date. Lender’s determination of the amount of the required addition to the Interest Reserve shall be final and not subject to challenge in the absence of manifest arithmetic error.

Additional Information. Furnish such additional information and statements, as Lender may request from time to time.

 

FINANCIAL COVENANTS AND RATIOS. Comply with the following covenants and ratios:

 

Effective Debt Service Coverage Ratio. Maintain an Effective Debt Service Coverage Ratio as of the end of each calendar quarter (“Determination Date”) of 1.25 to 1.0. “Effective Debt Service Coverage Ratio” means as of the end of a calendar quarter the ratio of (a) (i) the quarterly Net Operating Income, multiplied by the number of calendar quarters remaining until the Maturity Date (prorated for any partial calendar quarters), plus the undisbursed balance of the Interest Reserve as of the end of the calendar quarter, to (b) the Debt Service (as defined below). “Debt Service” means the aggregate of all principal and interest that would be required to be paid by Borrower for the remaining period until the Maturity Date, taking into account the anticipated timing of disbursement of undisbursed amounts, if any, of holdbacks and reserves, and assuming the interest rate payable under the Note as of the end of the calendar quarter continues in effect for that remaining period. If Lender has determined that Borrower has not met the Effective Debt Service Coverage Ratio requirement as of any Determination Date, within ten (10) business days after delivery of notice thereof to Borrower, Borrower will deliver to Lender a cash payment in the amount necessary to increase the level of the Interest Reserve to an amount which would have brought Borrower into compliance with the Effective Debt Service Coverage Ratio requirement had such amount been in the Interest Reserve on the Determination Date.

 

Loan to Value Ratio. Maintain a Loan to Value Ratio (as defined below) of 75.00% or less.  Lender will have the right to determine the Loan to Value Ratio at any time of the Loan Date/as of the end of each calendar year] using at Lender’s option either its own determination of the “as, is” fair market value of the Property, or the “as, is” fair market value determined at Borrower’s expense by an appraiser selected by Lender.  If Lender determines that the Loan to Value Ratio is greater than 75.00%, it may notify Borrower thereof, in which case Borrower will have fifteen (15) days in which to make a prepayment of the Loan in a sufficient amount such that the Loan to Value as determined by Lender using the reduced principal balance of the Loan, plus undisbursed amounts, if any, of holdbacks and reserves, is 75.00% or below.  If Borrower does not timely make the necessary prepayment, there shall be an Event of Default due to the failure to meet the Loan to Value Ratio.  “Loan to Value Ratio” means the ratio of unpaid principal balance of the Loan, plus undisbursed balance of reserves and holdbacks, to the “as, is” fair market value of the Property determined in the manner described above, expressed as a percentage.

 

Except as provided above, all computations made to determine compliance with the requirements contained in this paragraph shall be made in accordance with GAAP, applied on a consistent basis, and certified by Borrower as being true and correct.

 

Maintenance of Insurance. Borrower shall procure and maintain property insurance policies insuring against loss or damage customarily included under so called “all risk” or “special cause of loss” forms of policies on a replacement basis for the full insurable value covering all Improvements on the Property in an amount sufficient to avoid application of any coinsurance clause, and with a standard mortgagee clause in favor of Lender. Borrower shall also procure and maintain commercial general liability insurance in such coverage amounts as Lender may require with Trustee and Lender being named as additional insureds in such liability insurance policies. Additionally, Borrower shall maintain such other insurance, including but not limited to hazard, business interruption, and boiler insurance, as Lender may reasonably require, provided that Lender shall not require earthquake insurance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Borrower be required to provide property insurance in excess of the replacement value of the improvements on the Property. Policies shall be written in form, amounts, coverages and basis, and with deductibles reasonably acceptable to Lender and issued by a company or companies reasonably acceptable to Lender. Borrower, upon request of Lender, will deliver to Lender from time to time the policies or certificates of insurance in form satisfactory to Lender, including stipulations that coverages will not be cancelled or diminished without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender. Each insurance policy also shall include an endorsement providing that coverage in favor of Lender will not be impaired in any way by any act, omission or default of Borrower or any other person. Should the Property be located in an area designated by the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a special flood hazard area, Borrower agrees to obtain and maintain Federal Flood Insurance, if available, within 45 days after notice is given by Lender that the Property is located in a special flood hazard area, for the full unpaid principal balance of the loan and any prior liens on the property securing the loan, up to the maximum policy limits set under the National Flood Insurance Program, or as otherwise required by Lender, and to maintain such insurance for the term of the loan.

In addition, upon request of Lender (however not more often than annually), Borrower will have an independent appraiser satisfactory to Lender determine, as applicable, the actual cash value or replacement cost of any Collateral. The cost of such appraisal shall be paid by Borrower.

Provided however, Borrower will not be required to pay and discharge any such assessment, tax, charge, levy, lien or claim so long as (1) the legality of the same shall be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, and (2) Borrower shall have established on Borrower’s books adequate reserves with respect to such contested assessment, tax, charge, levy, lien, or claim in accordance with GAAP.

 

Performance. Perform and comply, in a timely manner, with all terms, conditions, and provisions set forth in this Loan Agreement, in the Related Documents, and in all other instruments and agreements between Borrower and Lender.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower will cause Daniel Hodges to be the key person(s) managing and supervising Borrower and the Property, who shall devote as much of their time as may be necessary to supervise and manage the conduct of the business and affair of Borrower and the Property.

 

Compliance with Governmental Requirements. Comply with all laws, ordinances, and regulations, now or hereafter in effect, of all governmental authorities applicable to the conduct of Borrower’s properties, businesses and operations, and to the use or occupancy of the Collateral, including without limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act. Borrower may contest in good faith any such law, ordinance, or regulation and withhold compliance during any proceeding, including appropriate appeals, so long as Borrower has notified Lender in writing prior to doing so and so long as, in Lender’s sole opinion, Lender’s interests in the Collateral are not jeopardized. Lender may require Borrower to post adequate security or a surety bond, reasonably satisfactory to Lender, to protect Lender’s interest.

 

Inspection. Permit employees or agents of Lender at any reasonable time to inspect any and all Collateral for the Loan or Loans and Borrower’s other properties and to examine or audit Borrower’s books, accounts, and records and to make copies and memoranda of Borrower’s books, accounts, and records. If Borrower now or at any time hereafter maintains any records (including without limitation computer generated records and computer software programs for the generation of such records) in the possession of a third party, Borrower, upon request of Lender, shall notify such party to permit Lender free access to such records at all reasonable times and to provide Lender with copies of any records it may request, all at Borrower’s expense.

 

Compliance Certificates. Unless waived in writing by Lender, provide Lender within fifteen (15) days after the end of each fiscal quarter, with a certificate executed by Borrower’s chief financial officer, or other officer or person acceptable to Lender, certifying that the representations and warranties set forth in this Loan Agreement are true and correct as of the date of the certificate and further certifying that, as of the date of the certificate, no Event of Default exists under this Loan Agreement.

LENDER’S EXPENDITURES. If any action or proceeding is commenced that would materially affect Lender’s interest in the Collateral or if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Related Documents, including but not limited to Borrower’s failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts Borrower is required to discharge or pay under this Agreement or any Related Documents, Lender on Borrower’s behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take any action that Lender deems appropriate, including but not limited to discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and other claims, at any time levied or placed on any Collateral and paying all costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving any Collateral. All such expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date incurred or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Borrower. All such expenses will become a part of the Indebtedness and, at Lender’s option, will (A) be payable on demand; (B) be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due during either (1) the term of any applicable insurance policy; or (2) the remaining term of the Note; or (C) be treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Note’s maturity.

Borrower’s obligations under this section shall survive the termination of this Loan Agreement and as set forth below in the Survival section. In addition to this indemnity, Borrower hereby releases and waives all present and future claims against Lender for indemnity or contribution in the event Borrower becomes liable for cleanup or other costs under any Environmental Laws.

Business Loan Agreement-

Loan to AZCOMS, LLC

(5) Any matters relating to Hazardous Substances or Environmental Laws that would give a reasonably prudent Lender cause to be concerned that the value of Lender’s security interest in the Property may be reduced or threatened or that may impair, or threaten to impair, Borrower’s ability to perform any of its obligations under this Loan Agreement when such performance is due.

 

(6) Any of the foregoing occurs with respect to any contiguous property.

 

Access to Records. Borrower shall deliver to Lender, at Lender’s request, copies of any and all documents in Borrower’s possession or to which it has access relating to Hazardous Substances or Environmental Laws and the Property and the operations conducted on the Property, including without limitation results of laboratory analyses, site assessments or studies, environmental audit reports and other consultants’ studies and reports.

 

Survival. The covenants contained in this Loan Agreement shall survive (a) the repayment of the Indebtedness, (b) any foreclosure, whether judicial or nonjudicial, of the Property, and (c) any delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure to Lender or any successor of Lender. The covenants contained in this Loan Agreement shall be for the benefit of Lender and any successor to Lender, as holder of any security interest in the Property or the indebtedness secured thereby, or as owner of the Property following foreclosure or the delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure.

 

CESSATION OF ADVANCES. If Lender has made any commitment to make any Loan to Borrower, whether under this Loan Agreement or under any other agreement, Lender shall have no obligation to make Advances if: (A) Borrower or any Guarantor is in default under the terms of this Loan Agreement or any of the Related Documents or any other agreement that Borrower or any Guarantor has with Lender; (B) Borrower or any Guarantor dies, becomes incompetent or becomes insolvent, files a petition in bankruptcy or similar proceedings, or is adjudged a bankrupt; (C) there occurs a material adverse change in Borrower’s financial condition, in the financial condition of any Guarantor, or in the value of any Collateral securing any Loan; or (D) any Guarantor seeks, claims or otherwise attempts to limit, modify or revoke such Guarantor’s guaranty of the Loan or any other loan with Lender; or (E) Lender in good faith deems itself insecure, even though no Event of Default shall have occurred.

 

RIGHT OF SETOFF. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a right of setoff in all Borrower’s accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account). This includes all accounts Borrower holds jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open in the future. However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for which setoff would be prohibited by law. Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the Indebtedness against any and all such accounts.

 

NONRECOURSE. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender will not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Related Documents to which it is a party (except any Hazardous Materials Certificate and Indemnity Agreement by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest and rights under the Related Documents, or in the Property, the Property gross revenues (including rents, security deposits, advance deposits, any other deposits, rents collected in advance, funds held by Borrower for the benefit of another party and lease termination payments received by commercial tenants) (collectively, the “Gross Revenues”) or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Related Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Property, in the Property Gross Revenues and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with any Related Document (except any Hazardous Materials Certificate and Indemnity Agreement). The provisions of this paragraph shall not, however, (i) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any Related Document; (ii) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Deed of Trust; (iii) affect the validity or enforceability of any of the Related Documents or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (iv) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (v) impair the enforcement of the Deed of Trust; (vi) constitute a prohibition against Lender to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to fully realize the security granted by the Related Documents or to exercise its remedies against the Collateral; or (vii) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following (all such liability and obligation of Borrower for any or all of the following being referred to herein as “Borrower’s Recourse Liabilities”):

COMSovereign Acquires Fastback Networks, Adding Top-Performing “Sub-6 GHz” Backhaul for Public and Private Networks and Expanding Telecom IP Portfolio

 

- Acquisition Brings Existing Tier One Customers Along with Patents Vital to the Development of
5G Small Cells and Integrated Access and Backhaul (“IAB”) Radios -

 

DALLAS, TX – February 1, 2021 – COMSovereign Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: COMS) (“COMSovereign” or the “Company”), a U.S.-based developer of 4G LTE Advanced and 5G Communication Systems and Solutions, announced today that it completed the acquisition of Skyline Technology Partners, LLC d/b/a Fastback Networks (“Fastback”). The transaction includes all operations, radio designs, customers, and intellectual property of Fastback.

 

Terms of the transaction include total consideration of approximately $14 million consisting of cash, debentures, and convertible debentures.

 

In addition to an installed base of tier one mobile network operator customers in North America, the acquisition is highlighted by a valuable intellectual property (“IP”) portfolio of sixty-five granted and six pending patents. These active patents cover many of the key systems and methods vital to 5G wireless networking including Signal Processing, Adaptive Antennas, Beam Forming/Steering, Self-Optimizing Networks, Spectrum Sharing and Hybrid Band Operations.

 

“We are pleased to have completed the Fastback transaction, expanding our installed base of tier one customers and bringing with it, broad and early patent coverage of many critical 5G enabling technologies,” said Dr. Dustin McIntire, CTO of COMSovereign Holding Corp. “We intend to quickly integrate Fastback into our operations so we can capitalize on growing customer interest in 4G LTE Advanced, 5G, and IAB small cells with integrated access and backhaul utilizing this unique IP.”

 

Since its founding in 2010, Fastback has been a leader in the development and commercialization of its intelligent backhaul radio (“IBR”) systems that deliver high-performance wireless connectivity to virtually any location including those challenged by Non-Line of Sight (NLOS) limitations. Fastback’s advanced IBR products allow operators to economically add capacity and density to their macrocells and expand service coverage density with small cells. These solutions also allow operators to both provide temporary cellular and data service utilizing mobile/portable radio systems and provide wireless Ethernet connectivity.
