You have advised Alcentra Capital Corporation (“Alcentra”) and Triangle Capital Corporation (“Triangle” and, together with Alcentra, the “Investors” or “us”) that you are seeking a commitment for the extension of subordinated debt to Radiant Logistics, Inc. (NYSE-MKT: RLGT)1 (the “Company”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to US $25,000,000 (the “Subordinated Debt”). You have requested that the Investors commit to provide, in the aggregate, one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of the Subordinated Debt (the “Financing”), upon the terms and conditions set forth in this letter (the “Commitment Letter”) and in the Summary of Proposed Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Term Sheet”).

2. Conditions.

The commitment of the Investors to consummate the Financing is subject to the fulfillment to the satisfaction or waiver by each Investor of the conditions set forth in the section of the Term Sheet entitled “Conditions to Closing”, each of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference with the same effect as if such conditions were set forth in this Commitment Letter in their entirety.

3. Information.

You hereby represent and warrant that (i) all information (other than the Projections, as defined below) concerning the Company and its subsidiaries and the Transactions (the “Information”) that has been or will be made available to the Investors by you or the Company or any of your or their respective representatives, subsidiaries or affiliates is, or will be when furnished, complete and correct in all material respects and does not, or will not when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made, and (ii) all financial projections concerning the Company and its subsidiaries that have been or will be made available to the Investors by you, the Company or any of your or their respective representatives, subsidiaries or affiliates (the “Projections”) have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon reasonable assumptions at the time they were made. You agree to supplement, or cause to be supplemented, the Information and the Projections from time to time until the Closing Date so that the conditions and representations and warranties contained in the preceding sentence remain correct in all material respects.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Commitment Letter, no Indemnified Person shall be liable for (i) any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent such damages are found in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person or (ii) any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages in connection with its activities related to the Financing.

SECURITY/

COLLATERAL:

 

Third lien on the assets of the Company domiciled in the U.S., as more particularly set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto.

 

 

SUBORDINATION:

 

The Subordinated Debt will be junior in lien status and right of payment to: (i) a senior cross-border credit facility provided by Bank of America (the “Senior Credit Facility”) and (ii) Radiant’s secured guarantee of CDN$ 29,000,000 to Integrated Private Debt Fund IV LP (the “Canadian Credit Facility”) and senior to any other indebtedness, including any earn-out, seller notes, and/or contingent consideration, pursuant to intercreditor agreements to be written on customary, market terms, as more particularly set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto with respect to the Senior Credit Facility and the Canadian Credit Facility.

 

 

 

FINANCIAL AND

OTHER COVENANTS:

 

The financing agreements for the Subordinated Debt will contain customary financial covenants including, but not limited to: (i) a debt incurrence covenant of 3.50x EBITDA (through the senior and mezzanine debt); (ii) a debt maintenance covenant of 3.75x EBITDA (through senior and mezzanine debt) and stepping down 10 bps per year on each anniversary of the agreement; (iii) a total debt maintenance covenants of 4.25x (through senior, mezzanine debt, seller debt and all other debt) and stepping down 10 bps per year on each anniversary of the agreement; and (iv) a fixed charge covenant of 1.05x (the calculation of which will reflect fixed charges on all funded debt outstanding as well as taxes, dividends, etc.). For avoidance of doubt, the definition of funded debt will exclude contingent liabilities. There will be limitations on the incurrence of additional debt or liens, the payments of cash dividends (including during an Event of Default), distributions from Radiant Logistics Partners LLC and other similar cash payments. The Subordinated Debt shall also be entitled to all affirmative, negative and financial covenants applicable to the Senior Credit Facility and the Canadian Credit Facility, subject to appropriate, market cushions to be agreed upon, as well as anti-layering provisions (the assumption is that all debt documents will have the same definition of terms and covenants, but the metric levels will differ).

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Notwithstanding the above, the financing agreements for the Subordinated Debt will also provide for “permitted acquisitions” so long as such acquisition meet the following parameters: (i) the equity interests or property acquired in such acquisition constitute a business reasonably related to the Company; (ii) no default or “event of default” shall exist prior to or will be caused as a result of such acquisition; (iii) the Company shall have provided the Investors with at least 30 business days prior written notice of such acquisition, such notice to include (a) a description of the property or equity interests to be purchased, (b) the price and terms of such acquisition, (c) a certificate of its chief financial officer to the effect that no default or “event of default” exists and attaching, in reasonable detail, computations and a consolidated financial statement prepared on a pro forma basis of the Company and its subsidiaries immediately prior to and after giving effect to such acquisition demonstrating compliance with financial covenants; (iv) such person or entity whose equity interests or property is being acquired shall have as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter of such person or entity ending on or immediately prior to the date of such acquisition actual (or pro forma to the extent approved in writing by the Investors) EBITDA and net income greater than $1, in each case for the 12 month period ending on such date; (v) the aggregate cash consideration payable at the closing of the acquisition shall not exceed $10,000,00 for any single transaction and $25,000,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year or such greater amount approved in writing by the Investors; provided, however, that (a) the foregoing limitation shall exclude cash consideration derived from the proceeds of sales of newly issued equity interests of the Company during the twelve-month period prior to the closing of such acquisition to the extent the Company elects to issue equity interests, and (b) the written consent of the Investors shall be required if the aggregate cash consideration payable at the closing of any transaction of the type described in clause (a) is equal to or greater than $25,000,000; and (vi) the post-closing availability under the Senior Credit Facility is at least $7,500,000 on a pro forma basis. Furthermore, the requirements of provision (v) above will be deemed waived with respect to the two acquisition candidates described on Schedule 2 to this Term Sheet (the “Target Acquisitions”).

 

 

 

 

EVENTS OF DEFAULT:

 

The aforementioned paragraph is limited by the fact that no significant acquisitions for 6 months post-close of the Target and no more than 2 significant acquisitions per year (without consent), not including the Target Acquisitions. The definition of “significant” transactions would exclude the acquisition of the Company’s existing agent station locations or agent stations in competing networks and other transactions where the total base purchase price is less than $10.0M.

 

Customary Events of Default will include but are not limited to: (i) failure to pay interest or principal when due and payable; (ii) failure to comply with the covenants in the financing agreements; (iii) breaches of representations and warranties; (iv) failure to discharge material judgments; (v) bankruptcy or insolvency; (vi) cross-acceleration to the Senior Credit Facility and the Canadian Credit Facility, (vii) acquisition of all or a portion of the Senior Credit Facility or the Canadian Credit Facility by the Company or its affiliates; and (viii) any other events of default applicable to the Senior Credit Facility and the Canadian Credit Facility, subject to appropriate, market cushions to be agreed upon.

 

 

POST-DEFAULT INTEREST RATE:

 

The Coupon plus 2.0% cash upon the existence and continuation of an Event of Default.

 

 

BOARD OF DIRECTOR

MEETINGS:

 

The Investors shall (i) have board observation rights for the board and committee (other than audit and compensation committees) meetings of the Company, all of its subsidiaries, and any other affiliated entity in which the Investors invests and (ii) and shall receive all materials related thereto and (ii) shall receive copies of any actions of the Company and its subsidiaries taken without a meeting, in each case subject to customary exceptions for conflicts of interest and impairment of the attorney-client privilege. The representatives of the Investors shall be reimbursed by the Company for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to attendance at the Company meetings. Each Investor shall hold these rights so long as it maintains a debt, equity, or equity-linked interest in the Company or any of its affiliates, as applicable.
