Model N, Inc.  and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Credit Agreement by and among the Company, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent,, and the lenders party thereto, pursuant to which the Lenders extended a term loan to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of $50 million and agreed to establish an additional revolving line of credit up to an aggregate principal amount of $5 million. In part from the proceeds of this refinancing, the company repaid in full the existing term loan under the Financing Agreement dated January 5, 2017 by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors, Crystal Financial SPV, LLC and certain other lenders from time to time party thereto, and TC Lending, LLC, as administrative agent, and to terminate the Financing Agreement.

The loans made pursuant to the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate of: (i) when the Company has a leverage ratio of more than 3.5:1.0, either the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 3.50% or  the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 4.50%, as selected by the Company; (ii) when the Company has a leverage ratio between 2.0:1.0 and 3.5:1.0, either the Base Rate plus 2.50% or the LIBOR Rate plus 3.50%; or (iii) when the Company has a Total Leverage Ratio of less than 2.0:1.0, either the Base Rate plus 2.00% or the LIBOR Rate plus 3.00%. The term loan will mature on May 4, 2023. The Company is required to repay the principal of the term loan in quarterly installments of $250,000 each from September 30, 2018 through June 30, 2019, $625,000 each from September 30, 2019 through June 30, 2020, and $937,500 each from September 30, 2020 through March 31, 2023, and to repay the remaining principal amount at maturity. The Company may voluntarily prepay the term loan, with any such prepayment applied against the remaining installments of principal of the term loan on a pro rata basis; provided, that at the election of the Company, one such prepayment made during the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2018 in an amount not to exceed $5 million may be applied against the remaining installments of principal in the direct order of maturity. The Company is required to repay the term loan with proceeds from the sale of assets, the receipt of certain insurance proceeds, litigation proceeds or indemnity payments, or the incurrence of debt (in each case subject to certain exceptions).

Certain United States subsidiaries of the Company and the Company have entered into a guaranty and security agreement pursuant to which the Guarantors have agreed to guarantee the Company’s payment of its obligations under the Credit Agreement, and pursuant to which the Company’s and Guarantors’ obligations under the Credit Agreement and the guaranty and security agreement are secured by substantially all of their assets.

The Credit Agreement requires the Company and its subsidiaries to maintain certain financial covenants, including maintaining consolidated liquidity (cash in the United States plus revolving credit line availability) of at least $15 million, minimum levels of maintenance and subscription fee revenue and, if liquidity is less than $30 million for 90 consecutive days, a minimum leverage ratio of at least 3.50 to 1.00. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company and Guarantors to maintain certain non-financial covenants, including covenants that restrict their ability to dispose of assets acquire (or make investments in) other entities, incur other indebtedness or liens. The Credit Agreement also provides for customary events of default, including failure to pay amounts due or to comply with covenants, default on other indebtedness, or a change of control with respect to the Company.
