Up to 25,000 Series K Securities shall be issued to Pegasus IV substantially concurrently with the execution of the Specified Appeal Bond Documents. In addition, pursuant to the Subscription and Support Agreement, LSG has agreed to conduct a rights offering that provides the holders of record of Common Stock and securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock the right to purchase a pro rata share of the number of Series K Securities issued to Pegasus IV (the “Rights Offering”). The issuance of all such Series K Securities, including pursuant to the Rights Offering, is collectively the “Series K Issuance”).

 

In addition, LSG hereby advises Agent and Lenders that LSG desires to amend the Amended Series J Certificate of Designation to increase the authorized number of Series J Preferred Shares from 70,000 Series J Preferred Shares to 85,100 Series J Preferred Shares, pursuant to the form of Certificate of Increase attached hereto as Schedule II-B (the “Series J Certificate of Increase”).

 

LSG hereby requests that, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, Agent and Lenders hereby: (a) waive the requirements of Sections 6.12(b) of the Loan Agreement with respect to the Series J Issuance and the Series K Issuance, (b) consent to the Series K Issuance and the adoption of the Series K Certificate of Designation in accordance with Section 5.18 of the Loan Agreement, (c) confirm that the adoption of the Series J Certificate of Increase and the Series K Certificate of Designation are not materially adverse in the interests of the Lenders, and are permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 6.6(b) of the Loan Agreement, and (d) with respect to any Series J Securities or Series K Securities issued as part of the Series J Issuance or the Series K Issuance, respectively, on or after the date hereof, agree to receive less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of any such issuance, notwithstanding Section 6.12(a) of the Loan Agreement; provided however that, LSG shall provide at least one (1) Business Day prior written notice of such issuance, which notice shall specify the parties to whom such securities are to be issued, and the total amount (if applicable) which shall be realized from the issuance of such securities.

 

LSG also hereby advises Agent and Lenders that the preliminary results of a periodic product line review conducted by Customer 1 (the “Line Review”) indicate that Customer 1 may significantly reduce its business with LSG, which may include ceasing to purchase certain items from LSG, in the future. Notwithstanding the final results of the Line Review (“Line Review Result”) which is expected to be disclosed in an award letter (the “Award Letter”) delivered to LSG by Customer 1, each of Agent and the Lenders hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Line Review Result described in the Award Letter and any direct or indirect impact of such Line Review Result on the ongoing operations of the Obligors’ business shall not constitute a Material Adverse Effect nor cause the representation to be made by LSG under Section 4.8 of the Loan Agreement to be untrue in any material respect. Each of Agent and Lenders hereby further acknowledges and agrees that LSG has fulfilled its obligations under Section 5.10 of the Loan Agreement with respect to disclosing any potential amendment to the Customer 1 Material Contract resulting from the Line Review. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LSG hereby agrees to provide Agent with a copy of the Award Letter within two (2) Business Days’ of receipt by LSG thereof.
