RE:

Proposal Letter for a $24.0 million Senior Secured Credit Facility

 

Dear Derek & Jim:

 

Chatham Capital Management, LLC (the “Agent”), as agent for Chatham Investment Fund VI, L.P., and Chatham Investment Fund VI-A, L.P., and/or its affiliates (“Chatham”) and other lenders acceptable to the Agent (together with Chatham, the “Lenders”) is pleased to provide up to a $24.0mm senior secured credit facility (the “Facility”) to refinance the existing debt of Track Group, Inc. (“Track Group”, the “Company” or the “Borrower”). It is anticipated that the aggregate proceeds of the Facility will be used to (i) refinance the existing debt, (ii) fund cash to the balance sheet and (iii) pay fees and expenses associated with the transaction (collectively, the “Transaction”).

 

Based on the information that you have provided to us and subject to satisfactory due diligence as well as the terms and conditions set forth in this letter and the Summary of Terms set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively, the “Proposal Letter”), we are pleased to offer our proposal to provide the Facility and act as Agent for the Facility.

 

The estimated sources and uses of funds are expected to be the following as of the Closing Date:

As you know, this Proposal Letter is delivered to you at a time when the Agent and the Lenders seeking to provide the Facility have not undertaken their full business, credit, and legal due diligence and analysis. Accordingly, we must emphasize that this Proposal Letter does not constitute a commitment to provide any credit facility or any other investment capital nor an offer to enter into a contract to provide such. As a result of further investigation and analysis by the Agent and the Lenders and their legal counsel or by reason of information of which the Agent and the Lenders are not now aware, impediments to the closing may be discovered. Accordingly, the Agent and the Lenders may require that the proposed Transaction and the Facility be restructured or otherwise modified to make allowance for such impediments. The Agent and the Lenders are the sole judge of what is an impediment and whether the impediment is so serious as to impede or prevent the closing of the proposed Transaction. [Should this be a two-way provision i.e., deal terms are not binding on Borrower/Guarantors?]

By signing this Proposal Letter, the Agent, the Lenders, the Borrower, and the Guarantors (as defined in the Summary of Terms) acknowledge that this Proposal Letter supersedes any and all discussions and understandings, written or oral, between or among the Agent, Lenders, Borrower, Guarantors, and any other person as to the subject matter hereof. [Need to exclude NDA that is in place] No amendments, waivers, or modifications of this Proposal Letter or any of its contents shall be effective unless expressly set forth in writing and executed by the Agent, the Lenders, and Borrower.

 

The Borrower and the Guarantors hereby agree that the Agent and the Lenders may assign any or all of their rights and obligations hereunder and under the financing documents to one or more affiliates or transferees.

 

This Proposal Letter is being provided to you on the condition that, except as required by law, neither it nor its contents will be disclosed publicly or privately except to those individuals who are your officers, employees, or advisors who have a need to know of them as a result of their being specifically involved in the Transaction and then only on the condition that such matters may not, except as required by law, be further disclosed. No person, other than the parties hereto, is entitled to rely upon this Proposal Letter or any of its contents. No person shall, except as required by law, use the name of, or refer to the Agent, any Lender, or any of their affiliates, in any correspondence, discussions, press release, advertisement, or disclosure made in connection with the Facility without the prior written consent of the Agent and/or such Lender, as applicable.

 

Regardless of whether the proposal herein is terminated or the Facility or Transaction closes, Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree to pay upon demand to the Lenders all reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses (“Transaction Expenses”), [Note: We agree with Daniel’s comments re Transaction Expenses] which may be incurred by the Lenders in connection with the Facility (including all reasonable legal, accounting, due diligence, and other consultant costs and fees incurred in the preparation of this Proposal Letter, and evaluation of and documenting of the Facility). In the event that the proposal herein is terminated and the Facility or Transaction is not consummated, Borrower and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Lenders, their affiliates, and their directors, officers, employees, attorneys, and representatives (each, an “Indemnified Person”), from and against all suits, actions, proceedings, claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other costs of investigation or defense, including those incurred upon any appeal), which may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by any such Indemnified Person in connection with, or arising out of, this Proposal Letter, the documentation related thereto, any actions or failures to act in connection therewith, and any and all environmental liabilities and legal costs and expenses arising out of or incurred in connection with any disputes between or among any parties to any of the foregoing, and any investigation, litigation, or proceeding related to any such matters. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Borrower and Guarantors shall not be liable for any indemnification to an Indemnified Person to the extent that any such suit, action, proceeding, claim, damage, loss, liability or expense results solely from that Indemnified Person’s gross negligence, or willful misconduct, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Under no circumstances shall any Lender or any of their affiliates be liable to you or any other person for any punitive, exemplary, consequential or indirect damages in connection with this Proposal Letter, the Transaction, the documentation related thereto or any other financing, regardless of whether the proposal herein is terminated or the Facility closes.
