On November 9, 2015, ReachLocal, Inc., and certain of our affiliates entered into a Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement with Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc. (“Hercules”), as administrative agent and lender. The loan amendment amends the Loan and Security Agreement, dated April 30, 2015, among the parties, to, among other things, waive compliance with the term loan’s revenue and Adjusted EBITDA covenant thresholds for November and December 2015. In connection with the amendment we (i) paid Hercules a one-time fee of $225,000, (ii) reset the term loan’s schedule of prepayment fees to begin from November 9, 2015, instead of April 30, 2015, and (iii) agreed to amend the warrant issued to Hercules in connection with the term loan as described below no later than November 16, 2016.

On November 11, 2015, the Company and Hercules amended the warrant issued to Hercules in connection with the term loan to increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock subject to the warrant to 300,000 and reduce the exercise price to $0.85. The amended warrant is exercisable in full and not in part. In addition, if upon the sale of all shares issued upon exercise of the warrant, or in the case of a merger or sale transaction involving other securities in whole or in part, upon the sale of such securities, the absolute return on the warrant exceeds $2.55 per share underlying the warrant, the warrant holder will pay ReachLocal the excess in cash.

The above descriptions of the loan and security agreement amendment and warrant agreement amendment are qualified in their entirety by reference to those agreements, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 4.1, respectively, and incorporated by reference herein.

The information required to be disclosed under this Item 2.03 is set forth in Item 1.01 above and is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
