On September 26, 2013, Real Goods Solar, Inc.’s (the “Company”) wholly-owned subsidiaries Real Goods Energy Tech, Inc., Real Goods Trading Corporation, Alteris Renewables, Inc., and Real Goods Syndicated, Inc. (collectively, the “Borrowers”) entered into a Fourth Loan Modification Agreement (the “Loan Agreement Amendment”) with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) pursuant to which the parties thereto agreed to certain amendments to the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2011, as amended (the “Loan Agreement”), and Real Goods Syndicated, Inc. joined as a party to the Loan Agreement and granted a security interest in substantially all its assets to SVB.
The Loan Agreement Amendment extended the maturity date of the Loan Agreement to September 29, 2014 and permits repayment of certain subordinated debt held by Gaiam, Inc. and Riverside Renewable Energy Investments, LLC if the Company meets certain liquidity thresholds and certain other subordination conditions are met. Additionally, the Loan Agreement Amendment increased the liquidity ratio with which the Borrowers must comply and added a covenant obligating the Borrowers to meet certain EBIDTA thresholds each quarter. The Loan Agreement also increased the interest rate on borrowings. Borrowings accrue interest at the greater of (a) the greater of the bank’s prime rate and 4.00%, plus 4.00%, and (b) 8.00%. The interest rate accruing on borrowings during a Streamline Period (as defined in the Loan Agreement) is the greater of (i) the greater of the bank’s prime rate and 4.00%, plus 2.00%, and (ii) 6.00%.
Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement Amendment, the Borrowers, the Company and SVB also entered into an Intellectual Property Security Agreement (the “IP Security Agreement”), pursuant to which the Borrowers and the Company pledged certain copyrights, trademarks, patents, and mask works to secure the obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Agreement.
In connection with the Loan Agreement Amendment, the Borrowers paid SVB a $65,000 extension fee and agreed to reimburse the bank for certain expenses incurred in connection with entering into the Loan Agreement Amendment.
The foregoing descriptions of the Loan Agreement Amendment and IP Security Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively.
