THIS SECOND LIMITED WAIVER TO CREDIT AGREEMENT dated as of July 13, 2017 (this “Waiver”), is entered into among SYNCHRONOSS TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the Guarantors identified on the signature pages hereto, the Lenders party hereto, and GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”). Reference is made to the Credit Agreement, dated as of January 19, 2017 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, each lender from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders” and, individually, a “Lender”), and GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA, as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender and a Letter of Credit Issuer. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement.

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, any failure to deliver, within five days after the date on which such financial statements were required to be filed with the SEC, the Borrower’s financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2017, together with the related items required by Section 9.1(b) of the Credit Agreement and the Compliance Certificate relating thereto required by Section 9.1(d) of the Credit Agreement on or prior to June 30, 2017 constitutes an Event of Default under Section 11.3 of Credit Agreement (the “Anticipated Event of Default”);

 

WHEREAS, certain of the Lenders, constituting the Required Lenders, temporarily waived the Anticipated Event of Default (the “First Waiver”);

 

WHEREAS, the temporary waiver of the Anticipated Event of Default set forth in the First Waiver expires at 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on July 13, 2017;

 

WHEREAS, the Credit Parties have requested that the Lenders extend the temporary waiver of the Anticipated Event of Default; and

 

WHEREAS, the Lenders signatory hereto, constituting the Required Lenders, are willing to agree to such extension of the temporary waiver, in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, in order to allow the Credit Parties and the Lenders additional time to negotiate in good faith and document certain amendments to the Credit Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

AGREEMENT

 

1.                                      Confirmation of Anticipated Event of Default. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that in addition to any other rights and remedies that the Secured Parties may have under the Credit Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise, in the absence of this Waiver and after the occurrence of a Limited Waiver Default (as defined below), the Anticipated Event of Default would permit the Secured Parties to accelerate all or any portion of the Obligations in accordance with Section 11.12 of the Credit Agreement.

 


 

2.                                      Limited Waiver.

 

(a)                                 Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified in Section 3 of Waiver, in reliance upon the representations, warrants and covenants of the Credit Parties contained in this Waiver and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Waiver, effective as of the Effective Date (as defined below), the Lenders party hereto hereby waive, subject to the provisos set forth below, the Anticipated Event of Default; provided that nothing in this Waiver shall be deemed to permit any Credit Party to take any action under any Credit Document that is conditioned upon there being no Event of Default existing at the time of such action; provided further that this Waiver shall expire at 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on July 17, 2017 notwithstanding any delivery by the Borrower after June 30, 2017 of the Borrower’s financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2017 (such waiver, the “Limited Waiver”). For the avoidance of doubt, any delivery of the Borrower’s financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2017 in accordance with Section 9.1(b) of the Credit Agreement after June 30, 2017 shall not cure or be deemed to cure the Anticipated Event of Default, which shall remain an outstanding Event of Default under the Credit Agreement after July 17, 2017.

 

(b)                                 The Borrower and the other Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that the Limited Waiver is a one-time waiver and is limited to the extent specifically set forth above. Except for the Anticipated Event of Default as described in this Section 2, each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that the Limited Waiver shall not waive (or be deemed to be or constitute a waiver of) any covenant, term or provision in the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document (or any breach thereof or any Event of Default) or hinder, restrict or otherwise modify any of the rights and remedies of any of the Secured Parties in respect of any present or future Event of Default (whether or not related to the Anticipated Event of Default) under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, at law, in equity or otherwise.

 

(c)                                  Immediately upon the occurrence of a Limited Waiver Default, the Limited Waiver set forth in Section 2(a) shall be void ab initio.

 

(d)                                 As used in this Waiver, the term “Limited Waiver Default” shall mean any of the following:

 

(i)                               any representation or warranty contained in this Waiver shall be incorrect in any material respect as of the Effective Date, provided that if any such representation or warranty is qualified by or subject to a materiality qualification, such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects;

 

(ii)                            any Credit Party breaches any provision of this Waiver;

 

(iii)                         the occurrence or existence of any Default or Event of Default (other than the Anticipated Event of Default and the underlying Default related thereto); and

 

(iv)                        the failure by the Borrower to pay within two (2) Business Days of the Effective Date (i) to the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, all reasonable and documented costs, fees and expenses due and owing in connection with this Waiver and the other Credit Documents (to the extent required to be paid under Section 13.5 of the Credit Agreement and any engagement letter relating to this Waiver); (ii) to Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP, as counsel to the Administrative Agent, all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP in connection with the Credit Documents and this Waiver invoiced no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern on July 17, 2017; and (iii) to Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP (“Davis Polk”) pursuant to that certain letter agreement between the Borrower and Davis Polk all reasonable and documented fees and expenses invoiced no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern on July 17, 2017.

(b)                                 The representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 of this Waiver shall be true and correct as of the date hereof.

 

(c)                                  Other than the Anticipated Event of Default (and the underlying Default related thereto), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur after giving effect to this Waiver.

(a)                                 Validity of Obligations.

The Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby ratifies and reaffirms its prior grant and the validity and enforceability (without defense, counterclaim or offset of any kind) of the Liens and security interests granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties to secure the Obligations by the Borrower and the other Credit Party pursuant to the Credit Documents and hereby confirms and agrees all such Liens and security interests shall continue, unimpaired, in full force and effect, after giving effect to this Waiver. Except as expressly amended by this Waiver, each Credit Document is, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects, except that, on and after the effectiveness of this Waiver, each reference in the Credit Documents to the “Credit Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” (and each reference in the Credit Agreement to this “Agreement”, “hereunder” or “hereof”) or words of like import shall mean and be a reference to
