Amendments to 2017 Credit Agreement
On April 7, 2020, the Company entered into an Eighth Amendment to 2017 Credit Agreement among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, which modified the 2017 Credit Agreement with respect to the following terms:

the affirmative financial reporting covenant was modified, effective March 31, 2020, to extend the delivery deadline, solely with respect to such financial statements to be provided for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and such accompanying report and opinion from such independent registered public accounting firm, to April 9, 2020.

On April 9, 2020, the Company entered into a Ninth Amendment to 2017 Credit Agreement among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, which modified the 2017 Credit Agreement with respect to the following terms:

the affirmative financial reporting covenant was modified, to extend the delivery deadline, solely with respect to such financial statements to be provided for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and such accompanying report and opinion from such independent registered public accounting firm, to April 16, 2020.

On April 15, 2020, the Company entered into a Tenth Amendment to 2017 Credit Agreement (the “Tenth Amendment to 2017 Credit Agreement”) among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, which modified the 2017 Credit Agreement with respect to the following terms:

The deadline for delivery of audited consolidated annual financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 was extended from April 16, 2020 until May 14, 2020 (as such deadline may be extended from time to time by an order of the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission), and such financial statements may be subject to a “going concern” qualification.

The deadline for delivery of unaudited condensed consolidated quarterly financial statements of the Company for fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020 was extended from the date that is 45 days after the end of such fiscal quarter until June 29, 2020 (as such deadline may be extended from time to time by an order of the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission).

The deadline for delivery of a consolidated budget for fiscal year 2020 in respect of such fiscal year was extended from 120 days after the end of the 2019 fiscal year until June 1, 2020.

The Company was not required to comply with the maximum consolidated first lien net leverage ratio for the test period ended on March 31, 2020.

In addition, pursuant to the Tenth Amendment to 2017 Credit Agreement, the lenders consented to the Third Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement (described below) and to the transactions contemplated thereby. The Tenth Amendment to 2017 Credit Agreement was conditioned upon the Company being current on all interest on the loans that was due and payable immediately prior to giving effect to the Tenth Amendment to 2017 Credit Agreement, and included the following additional covenants with respect to the Company:

The Company agreed to furnish to advisors of the lenders (on a “professional eyes only” basis) a rolling thirteen-week budget cash flow forecast on a consolidated basis for the Company and its subsidiaries, and a material variance report for the prior week as compared to the applicable previously furnished forecast, with such forecast to be updated every four weeks and the material variance report to be distributed on a weekly basis.

The Company agreed to maintain undrawn revolving commitments plus cash and cash equivalents of the Company and its subsidiaries in an aggregate amount of not less than $17.5 million.

The Company agreed to make senior management, and certain advisors of the Company available to participate in such conference calls as the advisors of the lenders may request to discuss the financial results and financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries, and the Company agreed to provide such other information regarding the financial results, financial condition and business affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries as the advisors of the lenders may reasonably request.

Within five business days of the effective date of the Tenth Amendment to 2017 Credit Agreement, the Company was required to establish an independent committee of its board of directors, consisting of at least three members, each of whom is a Qualified Independent Director (as defined therein), for the purpose of exploring financing, recapitalization, strategic transactions and other similar opportunities and transactions for the Company and its subsidiaries. An independent committee has been established per the requirements of the Tenth Amendment to 2017 Credit Agreement. Authorization by such independent committee is required in connection with the Company’s or its applicable subsidiaries’ entering into any such financing, recapitalization, strategic transaction or other similar opportunity or transaction.

Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement
In addition, on April 15, 2020, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Third Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement”) among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, and each purchaser party thereto. The Third Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement amends and modifies the Securities Purchase Agreement, including with respect to the following terms:

Pursuant to the Second Lien Amendment, the noteholders consented to the Tenth Amendment to 2017 Credit Agreement and to the transactions contemplated thereby.

Reverse Stock Split
On November 6, 2019, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications staff (the “Staff”) of Nasdaq that, based upon our non-compliance with the minimum $1.00 bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market required to maintain continued listing under the Nasdaq listing rules (the “Bid Price Rule”), our common stock would be subject to delisting from Nasdaq unless we timely requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). In accordance with Nasdaq’s procedures, we timely appealed Nasdaq’s determination by requesting a hearing before the Panel to seek continued listing of our common stock. The hearing was held on December 5, 2019.

On December 16, 2019, the Panel granted the Company’s request for continued listing of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to an initial extension through April 15, 2020 or, in certain circumstances, through May 4, 2020. On March 17, 2020, we received notification that the Panel granted a further extension through May 4, 2020 in which to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule in light of the extreme volatility in financial markets resulting from COVID-19.

On April 13, 2020, we received another letter from the Staff notifying us that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Rule”) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, because the market value of our listed securities was less than $35 million for the previous 30 consecutive business days.

On April 15, 2020, the Board of Directors approved a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding and authorized shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-25 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock was decreased from 92,944,935 to 3,717,797, all with a par value of $0.0001. The effective date of the Reverse Stock Split was April 16, 2020. The Reverse Stock Split affected all stockholders uniformly and did not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s common stock, except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares as follows: (i) no fractional shares were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split; and (ii) stockholders who would have been entitled to a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split instead received a cash payment from the transfer agent in an amount equal to the fractional share multiplied by the closing price of our common stock the day before the Reverse Stock Split became effective. All amounts presented in these financial statements, have been adjusted for this Reverse Stock Split. The objective of the Reverse Stock Split was to enable us to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule and maintain our listing on Nasdaq.

On April 30, 2020, Nasdaq notified us that we had regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule; however, we remain non-compliant with the MVLS Rule. Under the Nasdaq listing rules, we have until October 12, 2020 to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule by demonstrating that the market value of our listed securities is $35 million or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. If we do not regain compliance with the MVLS Rule by the required date, we may appeal for an extension to regain compliance with no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining the extension. If we do not regain compliance by October 12, 2020 or by the extended compliance date, if applicable, Nasdaq would delist our common stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market.

Company Credit Rating
On April 10, 2020, S&P Global downgraded the Company’s credit to CCC-. On April 6, 2020 Moody’s downgraded the Company’s credit rating one notch from B3 to Caa2, primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations.
