EXHIBIT 10.1

 

SIXTH AMENDMENT TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

 

This Sixth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of October 4, 2019, by and between EAST WEST BANK (“Bank”) and EVOLVING SYSTEMS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”).

 

RECITALS

 

Borrower and Bank are parties to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of October 22, 2012 (as amended from time to time, including, without limitation, by that certain Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of October 22, 2014, that certain Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of April 8, 2015, that certain Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of September 28, 2015, that certain Fourth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of November 9, 2015, that certain Fifth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of February 29, 2016, and that certain Clarification Agreement to Fifth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of February 29, 2016, collectively, the “Agreement”).  The parties desire to amend the Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Amendment.

 

Additionally, Borrower is currently in default (i) under Section 6.8(b) of the Agreement (as in effect prior to the date hereof) due to Borrower’s failure to maintain the minimum required leverage ratio for the measuring period ended March 31, 2019, and June 30, 2019, and (ii) under Section 6.8(c) of the Agreement (as in effect prior to the date hereof) due to Borrower’s failure to maintain the minimum required fixed charge coverage ratio for the measuring periods ended December 31, 2018, March 31, 2019, and June 30, 2019 (collectively, the “Existing Defaults”).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.                                      Section 6.8 of the Agreement hereby is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

6.8                         Financial Covenants.

 

(a)                                 Minimum EBITDA.  Borrower shall maintain at all times, tested as of the last day of each month, EBITDA, measured on a trailing three (3) month basis, of at least the following amounts for the respective measuring periods set forth below:

(b)                                 Minimum Cash.  Borrower shall maintain at all times, tested as of the last day of each month, unrestricted consolidated cash in demand deposit and/or money market accounts, in an amount greater than the aggregate outstanding amount of Indebtedness by Borrower and its Subsidiaries to Bank at any time.”

 

2.                                      New Section 8.10 hereby is added to the Agreement to read as follows:

 

“8.10                 Cross-Default.  If there is a default in any term, provision, condition, covenant, or agreement contained in that certain Facility Agreement by and among Evolving Systems, Inc., as Parent, Evolving Systems Holdings Limited, as Company and Original Borrower, East West Bank, as Lender, and Evolving Systems, Inc., Evolving Systems BLS Limited, Evolving Systems Holdings Limited, and Evolving Systems Limited, as Original Guarantors, dated as of August 16, 2017 (the “UK Facility Agreement”), or any other agreement entered into in connection with the UK Facility Agreement.”

 

3.                                      Section 12.8 of the Agreement hereby is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

12.8 Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications, or refinancings thereof may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing this Agreement (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original hereof.”

 

4.                                      Default Waiver.  Borrower hereby acknowledges and Bank hereby waives the Existing Defaults (the “Default Waiver”).

 

5.                                      Waiver of Notice and Cure.  Borrower acknowledges that an Event of Default has occurred under the Agreement that, but for the Default Waiver, would have entitled Bank to exercise all the remedies available to Bank under the Agreement and applicable law.  Borrower waives all notices of default and rights to cure that are otherwise provided in the Agreement or applicable law, including, but not limited to, rights to notice and redemption under California Uniform Commercial Code sections 9611, 9620 and 9623.  Borrower further waives any claim that a sale or other disposition by Bank of the Collateral is not commercially reasonable because Bank disclaims any warranties with respect to such sale or other disposition, including, without limitation, disclaimers of warranties relating to title, possession, quiet enjoyment, or the like.

 

6.                                      Release.

 

6.1                               Borrower acknowledges that Bank would not enter into this Amendment, including the Default Waiver, without Borrower’s assurance hereunder.  Except for the obligations arising hereafter under the Agreement, Borrower hereby absolutely discharges and releases Bank, any person or entity that has obtained any interest from Bank under the Agreement and each of Bank’s and such entity’s former and present partners, stockholders, officers, directors, employees, successors, assignees, agents and attorneys from any known or unknown claims which Borrower now has against Bank of any nature, including any claims that Borrower, its successors, counsel, and advisors may in the future discover they would have now had if they had known facts not now known to them, whether founded in contract, in tort or pursuant to any other theory of liability, including but not limited to any claims arising out of or related to the Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby.

 

2


 

6.2                               Borrower waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542, which states:

 

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.

 

6.3                               The provisions, waivers and releases set forth in this section are binding upon Borrower and Borrower’s shareholders, agents, employees, assigns and successors in interest.  The provisions, waivers and releases of this section shall inure to the benefit of Bank and its agents, employees, officers, directors, assigns and successors in interest.

 

6.4                               Borrower warrants and represents that Borrower is the sole and lawful owner of all right, title and interest in and to all of the claims released hereby and Borrower has not heretofore voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, assigned or transferred or purported to assign or transfer to any person any such claim or any portion thereof.  Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless Bank from and against any claim, demand, damage, debt, liability (including payment of attorneys’ fees and costs actually incurred whether or not litigation is commenced) based on or arising out of any assignment or transfer.

 

6.5                               The provisions of this section shall survive payment in full of the Obligations, full performance of all the terms of this Amendment and the Agreement, and/or Bank’s actions to exercise any remedy available under the Agreement or otherwise.

 

7.                                      No course of dealing on the part of Bank or its officers, nor any failure or delay in the exercise of any right by Bank, shall operate as a waiver thereof, and any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude any later exercise of any such right.  Bank’s failure at any time to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision shall not affect any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance.  Any suspension or waiver of a right must be in writing signed by an officer of Bank.

 

8.                                      Unless otherwise defined, all initially capitalized terms in this Amendment shall be as defined in the Agreement.  The Agreement, as amended hereby, shall be and remain in full force and effect in accordance with its respective terms and hereby is ratified and confirmed in all respects.  Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of, or as an amendment of, any right, power, or remedy of Bank under the Agreement, as in effect prior to the date hereof.

 

9.                                      Borrower represents and warrants that the Representations and Warranties contained in the Agreement are true and correct as of the date of this Amendment, and that no Event of Default other than the Existing Defaults has occurred and is continuing.

 

10.                               As a condition to the effectiveness of this Amendment, Bank shall have received, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, the following:

 

(a)                                 this Amendment, duly executed by Borrower;

 

(b)                                 an updated Corporate Borrowing Certificate with respect to incumbency and resolutions authorizing the execution and delivery of this Amendment, substantially in the form attached hereto;

 

(c)                                  a default waiver and amendment to the UK Facility Agreement duly executed by the parties thereto;

 

3


 

(d)                                 Borrower’s repayment of principal due under the Term Loan in an amount equal to Three Hundred Thirty-Three Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-Three Dollars and Thirty-Three Cents ($333,333.33), which may be debited from any of Borrower’s accounts at Bank;

 

(e)                                  all reasonable Bank Expenses incurred through the date of this Amendment, which may be debited from any of Borrower’s accounts at Bank; and

 

(f)                                   such other documents, and completion of such other matters, as Bank may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate.

 

11.                               This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

EVOLVING SYSTEMS HOLDINGS LIMITED AND OTHERS - AMENDMENT AND WAIVER LETTER

 

1.                                      Background

 

(a)                                 We refer to a facilities agreement dated 16 August 2017 and made between (1) Evolving Systems, Inc. as Parent, (2) Evolving Systems Holdings Limited as Company and Original Borrower, (3) the companies listed in schedule 1 to it as Original Borrowers, (4) the companies listed in schedule 1 to it as Original Guarantors, and (5) East West Bank as Lender (the “Facilities Agreement”).

 

(b)                                 This Letter is supplemental to and amends the Facilities Agreement.

 

(c)                                  The Obligors have requested that the Lender agree certain amendments to and waivers in respect of the Facilities Agreement.  The Lender has consented to the amendments to and waivers in respect of the Facilities Agreement contemplated by this Letter.

 

2.                                      Definitions and Interpretation

 

2.1                               Definitions

 

In this Letter terms defined in, or construed for the purposes of, the Facilities Agreement have the same meanings when used in this Letter (unless the same are otherwise defined in this Letter):

 

(a)                                 “Amended Facilities Agreement” means the Facilities Agreement as amended pursuant to paragraph 5.1 (Amendments) of this Letter;

 

(b)                                 “Documents” means this Letter and each other agreement referred to in paragraph 1 of schedule 1 (Conditions precedent); and

 

(c)                                  “Effective Date” means the date on which the Lender gives written notice to the Parent that it has received each of the documents and other evidence listed in schedule 1 (Conditions precedent) in a form and substance satisfactory to the Lender.

 

2.2                               Paragraphs

 

(a)                                 In this Letter, any reference to a “paragraph” or “schedule” is, unless the context otherwise requires, a reference to a paragraph or schedule of this Letter.

 


 

(b)                                 Paragraph and schedule headings are for ease of reference only.

 

2.3                               Continuing obligations

 

Subject to the provisions of this Letter:

 

(a)                                 the Facilities Agreement and all the other Finance Documents shall remain in full force and effect;

 

(b)                                 as from the Effective Date, the Facilities Agreement shall be read and construed as one document with this Letter; and

 

(c)                                  nothing in this Letter shall constitute or be construed as a waiver (save as specifically and expressly waived under paragraphs 3 (Formal waiver) and 4 (Grant of waiver) of this Letter) or release of any right or remedy of the Lender under the Finance Documents, nor otherwise prejudice any right or remedy of the Lender under the Facilities Agreement or any other Finance Document.

 

3.                                      Formal waiver

 

The Parent has informed the Lender that as at the  date of this Letter:

 

(a)         the Parent is in breach of clause 20.2 (Financial covenants) of the Facilities Agreement by:

 

i.                  exceeding the Maximum Leverage Ratio for the measuring periods ended 31 March 2019 and 30 June 2019, as set out in clause 20.2(b) (Financial condition); and

 

ii.               failing to maintain the minimum ratio of Fixed Charge Coverage for the measuring periods ended 31 December 2018, 31 March 2019 and 30 June 2019, as set out in clause 20.2(c) (Financial condition);

 

(b)         the Parent’s breach of the financial covenants has resulted in a breach of clause 22.5.2 (Cross default); and

 

(c)          the Company is in breach of clause 22.7 (Insolvency proceedings) of the Facilities Agreement by having a winding up petition presented against it on 4 February 2019 (case number CR-2019-000866) by Charles Russell Speechlys LLP,

 

(together the “Breaches”).

 

The Breaches represent breaches of the specified provisions of the Facilities Agreement and consequently certain Events of Default have occurred and are continuing.

 

The Parent has requested that the Lender waive the Events of Default which are continuing as a result of the Breaches.

 

4.                                      Grant of waiver

 

The Lender agrees to formally waive the Events of Default which are continuing as a result of the Breaches.

 

Any waiver granted in accordance with this Letter shall apply only to the matters specifically referred to in this Letter and is given in reliance upon any information supplied to the Lender by the Parent being true, complete and accurate. Such consent shall be without prejudice to any rights which the Lender may now or hereafter have in relation to any other circumstances or matters other than as specifically referred to in this Letter (and whether subsisting at the date hereof or otherwise) or in relation to any such information being other than true, complete and accurate, which rights shall remain in full force and effect.

 


 

Any waiver granted in accordance with this Letter does not constitute an amendment, deletion or addition to the provisions of the Facilities Agreement, and it shall not operate as a waiver in respect of any other right or remedy.

 

5.                                      Amendments and Further Assurance

 

5.1                               Amendments

 

With effect from the Effective Date, the Facilities Agreement shall be amended in accordance with schedule 2 (Amendments) to this Letter.
