Credit Agreements
"), pursuant to which the Company issued to the Investors certain notes (the "
September Notes
" and the "
November Notes
", respectively, and collectively, the "
Notes
") and warrants (the "
September Warrants
" and the "
November Warrants
", respectively, and collectively, the "
Warrants
") to purchase shares (the "
Warrant Shares
") of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "
Common Stock
"). The entry into and provisions of the Credit Agreements and the Notes, the issuance of the Warrants and related matters were previously reported in Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "

On February 28, 2020, the Company, certain of the Company's subsidiaries parties to the CSA (the "
Subsidiary Guarantors
" and, together with the Company, the "
Loan Parties
") and the Investors entered into a forbearance agreement (the "

Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, each Investor agreed to forbear during 60 days, except in case of early termination of the Forbearance Agreement (the "
Forbearance Period
"), from exercising its respective rights and remedies under the Credit Agreements, the other Loan Documents (as defined in each Credit Agreement), and applicable law in respect of the Specified Defaults, and the Company agreed to (i) pay a late fee of 5% on any obligations under the November Notes not paid in full on or before the last day of the Forbearance Period; (ii) pay, on or prior to the earliest to occur of April 19, 2020 or the last day of the Forbearance Period, (A) all interest due pursuant to the Notes, plus all interest accruing on such unpaid interest, plus all interest accrued on account of the Notes from the date of the Forbearance Agreement through the date of such payment, and (B) a forbearance fee in the amount of $150,000; (iii) pay, upon signature of the Forbearance Agreement, $150,000 as a partial payment of the interest that has accrued pursuant to the Notes as of the date of the Forbearance Agreement; and (iv) amend the Warrants (the "
Warrant Amendments
") to (A) reduce the exercise price of each Warrant to $2.87 per share, and (B) with respect to the November Warrants, extend the deadline to register the Warrant Shares for resale by the holders thereof.
The Forbearance Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties and its effectiveness is subject to customary closing conditions, all of which were satisfied.
