Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

On October 6, 2014, The Pulse Network, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), borrowed $2,400,000 from TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP (the “Lender”) pursuant to the terms of a Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2014 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, as borrower, and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) as joint and several guarantors, and the Lender. The funds have been and will be used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of certain obligations of the Company. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company may borrow up to an amount equal to the lesser of 80% of the amount in a certain Lock Box Account (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and the revolving loan commitment, which initially is $1,400,000. The Company may request that the revolving loan commitment be raised by various specified amounts at specified times, up to a maximum of $5,000,000. In each case, the decision to grant any such increase in the revolving loan commitment is in the Lender’s sole discretion. The loan matures on the earlier of March 30, 2015, subject to a six-month extension at the request of the Company, or upon 60 days written notice by the Lender. Company may prepay the Revolving Loan (as defined in the Credit Agreement), without penalty, provided it is repaid more than 180 days prior to maturity date. If Company prepays more than eighty percent (80%) of the Revolving Loan Commitment within 91 to 180 days or less than 80 days, there is a 5% and 2.5% of the outstanding Revolving Loan Commitment (as defined in the Credit Agreement) prepayment penalty, respectively.

 

The loan bears interest at the rate of 11% per annum, and the Company will pay certain fees, as set forth in the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Company is obligated to issue to the Lender shares of common stock equal to $450,000, valued at price equal to 85% of the lowest volume weighted average price for the common stock of the Company for the business days immediately prior to September 30, 2014, which the Company estimates to be $0.03 per share, as fees for corporate advisory and investment banking services provided by the Lender.

 

The Company may prepay the Revolving Loan (as defined in the Credit Agreement), without penalty, provided it is repaid more than 180 days prior to maturity date. If Company prepays more than eighty percent (80%) the Revolving Loan (as defined in the Credit Agreement) within 90 days, there is a 2.5% of the outstanding Revolving Loan Commitment (as defined in the Credit Agreement) prepayment penalty.

 

The loan is guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors. It is also secured by a pledge of and grant of a security interest in all of the Company and the assets of the Subsidiary Guarantors.

 

The Credit Agreement imposes certain restrictions on the Company, including on its ability to (i) incur any Funded Indebtedness (as defined in the Credit Agreement), (ii) incur liens, (iii) make investments, (iv) permit a Change in Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, (v) make capital expenditures not in the ordinary course of its business, (vi) issue or distribute capital stock, (vii) make distributions to its shareholders, (viii) engage in any line of business other than the business engaged in on the date of the Credit Agreement and businesses reasonably related thereto, and (ix) enter into transactions with any affiliates except in the ordinary course of business and upon fair and reasonable terms that are no less favorable to the Company than it would obtain in an arm-length’s basis with a non-affiliate. Each of these restrictions is subject to certain exceptions, as specified in the Credit Agreement.

 

The loan may be accelerated upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement), including nonpayment of amounts owed, misrepresentation, failure to perform under the Credit Agreement or related documents, default under certain other obligations, events of bankruptcy, the entry of a judgment in excess of certain specified amounts, the occurrence of a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement), certain impairments of collateral, and the determination in good faith by the Lender that the prospect for payment or performance of the Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is impaired for any reason.

The Pulse Massachusetts agreed to pay a purchase price of $2,500,000 to MikeKoenigs.com for the 100% limited liability company membership interest of You Everywhere Now. At closing on October 6, 2014, the Company paid $1,250,000 in cash it borrowed under the Credit Agreement and delivered a promissory note for $1,250,000, which accrues interest at 6.0% per annum and matures October 3, 2017 or the date that any Earn-Out Payments (defined below) are due. For a period of three (3) years (the “Earn-Out Period”) beginning on the first day of the first calendar month following the Closing Date (the “Earn-Out Start Date”), the Pulse Massachusetts shall pay to MikeKoenigs.com amounts (the “Earn-Out Payments”) not to exceed in the aggregate an amount equal to $3,600,000 minus the aggregate amounts of commissions paid to Michael Koenigs, who has entered into an Employment Agreement with the Company, equal to thirty percent (30%) of any Net Sales (as defined below) in excess of $4,500,000 during the Earn-Out Period. Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, “Net Sales” means gross sales proceeds less any refunds, returns, cancellations and third-party revenue sharing costs or fees, determined in a manner consistent with the Seller’s historical practices prior to the closing date. All sales will be calculated on a cumulative and calendar year basis beginning on the Earn-Out Start Date and Earn-Out Payments shall be paid by the Company to MikeKoenigs.com within 30 days after the end of each calendar month after the Earn-Out Start Date during the Earn-Out Period.

Concurrent with the acquisition of You Everywhere Now, LLC, VoiceFollowUp, LLC and Traffic Geyser, LLC, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement with Mike Koenigs, who was the beneficial sole owner of such entities immediately prior to the sale of those entities to the Company. The Company will pay Mr. Koenigs an initial annual base salary, commencing October 3, 2014, of $200,000. Mr. Koenigs will also earn an additional $1,000 per day for any night he spends not at home as a result of performing his duties and responsibilities under the Employment Agreement and as agreed to (including verbal or email agreement) by the Company. The agreements also provide for (i) a bonus of cash compensation equal to 50% of sales effected by Mr. Koenigs, and (ii) a severance payment equal to six months of his then current annual base salary rate upon the termination of his employment by the Company without cause or by the executive for good reason or in the event of a change in control. The Employment Agreement also prohibits Mr. Koenigs from engaging in certain activities which compete with the Company, seek to recruit its employees or disclose any of its trade secrets or otherwise confidential information. Separately, the Company also agreed to reimburse Mr. Koenigs up to $300,000 in costs and expenses recently incurred in connection with the ICTG business.
