Re: Fee Letter

 

Gentlemen:

 

This is the Fee Letter referred to in that certain Commitment Letter for Financing (the “Commitment Letter”) dated as of the date hereof between Abacus Finance Group, LLC (“Abacus” or the “Agent”) and Altus Capital Partners (the “Sponsor”). All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Commitment Letter.

 

In addition to any fees or other amounts payable by Sponsor or Borrower to the Agent and Lenders under the terms of the Commitment Letter and any deposits paid to Abacus pursuant thereto or pursuant to any other agreement, Sponsor agrees to pay to the Agent the following fees and expenses:

 

Closing Fee: A nonrefundable closing fee of 1.75% of the Credit Facility, for the account of Abacus, which will be fully earned and due and payable in full on the closing date.
   
Administrative
Agent’s Fee:
A nonrefundable annual administration fee of $20,000, for the account of Agent, which fee will be deemed fully earned and due and payable on the closing date and on each anniversary thereof during the term of the Credit Agreement.

 

Abacus acknowledges and agrees that on the closing date of the Credit Facility, any obligations of the Sponsor set forth herein to pay fees hereunder shall terminate and shall become the sole obligation of the Borrower and the Guarantors under the Credit Facility.

 

It is expressly understood and agreed that Abacus’ commitment in respect of the Credit Facility is subject to your agreements and representations set forth herein and in the Commitment Letter, and, notwithstanding any provision in the definitive Credit Facility documentation to the contrary, this paragraph shall survive the execution and delivery of the definitive Credit Facility documentation.
