and, on the thirtieth Business Day (the “Advance Date”) following receipt of the relevant notice from the Borrower, and in any event following satisfaction or waiver of the First Tranche Conditions in respect of the First Tranche and the Subsequent Tranche Conditions in respect of a Subsequent Tranche, the Lender shall made an Advance of the relevant Tranche to the Borrower or procure such advance to the Borrower by wire transfer into such bank account as the Borrower in such notice shall identify. The Credit Facility is non-revolving and, once repaid by the Borrower, re-advances of the Credit Facility will not be permitted, except as otherwise permitted hereunder. At any time after 18 months following the date of the initial Advance, the Borrower may cancel the whole (but not less than the whole) of the unadvanced portion of the Credit Facility upon fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice to the Lender and thereby terminate its obligation to pay the standby fee referred to in Section 4.4.

Term

3.2	Voluntary Prepayments

 

The Borrower may, at any time so long as an Event of Default has not occurred and is continuing, upon fifteen (15) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lender indicating the principal amount to be prepaid, make a prepayment in whole, not in part, in respect of the outstanding principal under the Credit Facility, by paying to the Lender the full outstanding principal amount of the Credit Facility together with accrued and unpaid interest on such principal amount to the date of prepayment; if the prepayment occurs prior to the second anniversary of the date of the initial Advance, a fee (the “Make Whole Fee”) equal to 24 months’ interest on the full outstanding principal amount of the Credit Facility at the interest rate then applicable to the Credit Facility less the amount of interest at such interest rate accrued to the date of prepayment; and all other outstanding Obligations. The Borrower shall have no other right of prepayment. The parties acknowledge that it is their intention that the Lender shall earn minimum interest up to 24 months following the initial Advance on the full principal amount of the Advances made under the Credit Facility.

 

3.3	Payment of Fees Upon Acceleration

 

The occurrence of an Event of Default and the acceleration of the Obligations prior to the Maturity Date will be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations, and the Borrower will pay to the Lender in addition to the other outstanding amounts of the Obligations if the acceleration of the Obligations occurs prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Make Whole Fee as if the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations was being prepaid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.2 on the next Business Day following the date of acceleration. The Loan Parties acknowledge that the Make Whole Fee that is payable upon acceleration of the Obligations prior to the Maturity Date is not a penalty but is liquidated damages intended to compensate the Lender to ensure that the Lender earns interest at the rate of 12% per annum on the Advance up to and including the second anniversary of the Closing Date, and to ensure that the Loan Parties do not avoid payment of the Make Whole Fee by intentionally defaulting hereunder.

 

 

3.4	Mandatory Prepayments – Asset Disposition

 

Subject to any prior right of SaaS and subject to Applicable Laws, if any Loan Party receives proceeds from transactions involving the sale, lease or other disposition of any assets (other than as permitted by Section 8.3(l)) including without limitation Intellectual Property Collateral and other intangibles, then the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment on account of the Obligations in an amount equal to 100% of the net proceeds within three (3) Business Days after such net proceeds are received by the applicable Loan Party. As used herein, “net proceeds” in respect of any such transaction means the gross cash amount payable to the applicable Loan Party in respect of such transaction (expressly including any amount received by way of deferred payment pursuant to a note or receivable as and when such payment is received, with any non-cash consideration converted to cash as soon as reasonably practicable) less any Arm’s Length sales commissions, reasonable Arm’s Length costs and expenses of the transaction, sale, use and other transaction, Taxes paid or payable in connection with the transaction and in connection with transferring any proceeds from such transaction to the Borrower to effect the prepayment contemplated in this Section 3.4, usual and reasonable adjustments in connection with the transaction and any other amount specifically approved by the Lender in writing. Any prepayments made to the Lender under this Section 3.4 shall be applied to the principal amount of the Obligations in inverse order of maturity. The Lender shall at the Borrower’s cost use reasonable commercial efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to permit the Borrower to maximize the net proceeds available to it for prepayment of the Obligations pursuant to this Section 3.4.

 

3.5	Payment of Fees Upon Mandatory Prepayment

 

The receipt of proceeds from a disposition of assets pursuant to Section 3.4 will be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations, and the Borrower will pay to the Lender in addition to the other outstanding amounts of the Obligations, if the prepayment occurs prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Make Whole Fee as if the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations being prepaid was being prepaid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.2 on the next Business Day following the receipt of net proceeds of such a disposition of assets.

 

The Loan Parties acknowledge that the Make Whole Fee that is payable upon a disposition of assets prior to the Maturity Date is not a penalty but is liquidated damages intended to compensate the Lender to ensure that the Lender earns interest at the rate of 12% per annum on the Advance up to and including the second anniversary of the Closing Date.

 

Article 4 
PAYMENT OF INTEREST AND FEES

 

4.1

Interest

 

Subject to Section 4.2 and 4.3, from and including the Closing Date the outstanding principal amount of the Credit Facility shall bear interest, both before and after maturity, default and judgment on any unpaid amount thereof until all such Obligations have been satisfied in full, at a rate of 12% per annum calculated and payable monthly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date after the Advance under the Credit Facility.

 

4.2	Low Margin Rate

 

If Gross Margins calculated on a consolidated basis for the Loan Parties fall within the following ranges measured at the end of each calendar month commencing January 31, 2018 for the six month fiscal period comprised of such calendar month and the immediately preceding five calendar months, interest on the principal amount of the Obligations payable pursuant to Section 4.1 will be 14% per annum (the “Low Margin Rate”) until such time as Gross Margins equal or exceed the high end of each range:

 

(a)

more than US $5,850,000 but less than US $6,500,000 from the Closing Date to June 30, 2018;

more than US $6,300,000 but less than US $ $7,000,000 from July 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018;

 

(c)

more than US $6,750,000 but less than US $7,500,000 from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019; and

 

(d)

more than US $7,650,000 but less than US $8.500.000 from January 1, 2020 and for each calendar month thereafter.

 

4.3	Default Interest Rate

 

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest on the principal amount of the Obligations payable pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2 will be 18% per annum (the “Default Rate”) effective as at the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the triggering of such an Event of Default (for clarity, the Interest Payment Date occurring in the immediately preceding calendar month in the case of failure to pay interest on any Interest Payment Date) payable on demand. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that the increased rate of interest on the occurrence of an Event of Default is not a penalty but rather a genuine pre-estimate of the Lender’s increased cost and risk of the outstanding Credit Facility.

 

4.4	Commitment Fee and Standby Fees

 

The Borrower shall pay to the Lender the outstanding balance of the Commitment Fee by way of deduction from the Advance of the First Tranche.

 

Unless and until the Borrower cancels the unadvanced portion of the Credit Facility pursuant to Section 2.2, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender a standby fee in US Dollars calculated at a rate equal to 0.325% per month on that portion of the daily unadvanced and available portion of the Credit Facility during each calendar month. “Available” in the foregoing sentence means the maximum amount of the Credit Facility which if drawn by the Borrower would not cause the Total Debt to MRR covenant set out in Section 8.4(b) to be breached. The standby fee shall be determined daily beginning on the date hereof and shall be payable by the Borrower monthly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date.

 

4.5	Matters Relating to Interest

 

4.5.1       Unless otherwise indicated, interest on any outstanding principal amount shall be calculated daily and shall be payable monthly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. If the last day of a month is not a Business Day, the interest payment due on such day shall be made on the next Business Day, and interest shall continue to accrue on the said principal amount and shall also be paid on such next Business Day. Interest shall accrue from and including the day upon which an Advance is made, and ending on and including the day on which any portion of such Advance is repaid or satisfied.

 

4.5.2       Unless otherwise stated, in this Agreement if reference is made to a rate of interest, fee or other amount “per annum” or a similar expression is used, such interest, fee or other amount shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. If the amount of any interest, fee or other amount is determined or expressed on the basis of a period of less than one year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, the equivalent yearly rate is equal to the rate so determined or expressed, divided by the number of days in the said period, and multiplied by the actual number of days in that calendar year.

 

 

4.5.3       Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, if the amount of any interest, premium, fees or other monies or any rate of interest stipulated for, taken, reserved or extracted under the Credit Documents would otherwise contravene the provisions of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada), Section 8 of the Interest Act (Canada) or any successor or similar legislation, or would exceed the amounts which the Lender is legally entitled to charge and receive under any law to which such compensation is subject, then such amount or rate of interest shall be reduced to such maximum amount as would not contravene such provision; and to the extent that any excess has been charged or received the Lender shall apply such excess against the Obligations and refund any further excess amount.

 

4.5.4       Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Advance, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Advance under Applicable Law (collectively, “charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender in accordance with Applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Advance hereunder, together with all charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate. To the extent lawful, the interest and charges that would have been paid in respect of such Advance but were not paid as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and charges payable to the Lender in respect of other Advances or periods shall be increased (but not above the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount shall have been received by the Lender.

Any single or partial exercise by the Lender of any right or remedy for a default or breach of any term, covenant, condition or agreement herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of or to alter, affect, or prejudice any other right or remedy or other rights or remedies to which the Lender may be lawfully entitled for the same default or breach. Any waiver by the Lender of the strict observance, performance or compliance with any term, covenant, condition or agreement herein contained, and any indulgence granted by the Lender shall be deemed not to be a waiver of any subsequent default.

 

9.7	Set Off or Compensation

 

In addition to and not in limitation of any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law, the Lender may at any time and from time to time after the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing without notice to the Loan Parties or any other Person, any notice being expressly waived by the Loan Parties, set off, combine accounts and compensate and apply any and all deposits, general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, matured or unmatured, in any currency, and any other indebtedness at any time owing by the Lender to or for the credit of or the account of the Loan Parties, against and on account of the Obligations notwithstanding that any of them are contingent or unmatured. When applying a deposit or other amount owing to the Lender in a currency that is different than the currency of the Obligations, the Lender will convert the deposit or other amount using the Exchange Rate in effect at the time of such conversion.

 

9.8	Judgment Currency

 

If for the purposes of obtaining judgment against the Borrower in any court in any jurisdiction with respect to this Agreement, it becomes necessary for the Lender to convert into the currency, except for U.S. Dollars, of such jurisdiction (in this section called the “Judgment Currency”) any amount due to the Lender by the Borrower hereunder in any currency other than the Judgment Currency, the conversion shall be made at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Business Day before the day on which judgment is given. In the event that there is a change in the Exchange Rate prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given and the date of payment of the amount due, the Borrower shall, on the date of payment, pay such additional amounts (if any) or be entitled to receive reimbursement of such amount, if any, as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid on such date is the amount in the Judgment Currency which when converted at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the date of payment is the amount then due under this Agreement in such other currency. Any additional amount due by the Borrower under this section will be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sums due under or in respect of this Agreement.

Such costs and expenses shall be payable whether or not an Advance is made under this Agreement.

 

10.11.2    The Loan Parties agree on demand to jointly and severally indemnify the Lender against any liability, obligation, loss or expense which it may sustain or incur as a consequence of: any representation or warranty made by the any one or more of the Loan Parties which was incorrect at the time it was made or deemed to have been made; a default by the Loan Parties in the payment of any sum due from it, including, but not limited to, all sums (whether in respect of principal, interest or any other amount) paid or payable to lenders of funds borrowed by the Lender in order to fund the amount of any such unpaid amount to the extent the Lender are not reimbursed pursuant to any other provisions of this Agreement; the failure of the Borrower to complete an Advance or make any payment after notice therefore has been given under this Agreement; and any other default by the Loan Parties under any Credit Document.

If following the making of any payment by the Loan Parties under this Section 10.12, a Lender is granted a credit against or refund in respect of any Tax payable by it in respect of such Taxes to which such payment by the Loan Parties relates that such Lender would not have received had the Borrower not made the payment, such Lender shall (subject to the Borrower having paid the relevant amount) to the extent that it is satisfied that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such credit or refund, reimburse the Loan Parties such amount as such Lender shall certify to be the proportion of such credit or refund as will leave such Lender, after such reimbursement in no worse or better position than it would have been in if the relevant Taxes had not been imposed, or the relevant Taxes had not been deducted or withheld in respect of the payment by the Borrower as aforesaid. Each Lender shall, at the Borrower’s request and cost, file such documentation and do such commercially reasonably things as may be necessary to obtain such credit or refund, but each Lender shall not be obligated to disclose any information to the Borrower or any other Person concerning its income or taxes that is not otherwise publicly available.
