Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Dolphin Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries recently executed notes and received loans (collectively, the “PPP Loans”, and each loan, a “PPP Loan”) from BankUnited, N.A., under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) which was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. As of April 23, 2020, the amounts of the PPP loans for the Company, Shore Fire Media, Ltd, 42 West LLC, Viewpoint Computer Animation Incorporated and The Door Marketing Group LLC, are $54,900, $322,200, $725,200, $321,000 and $672,700, respectively (each such entity, a “Borrower”). A total of five PPP Loans were made to the Company and its subsidiaries. The proceeds from each PPP Loan will be used in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act program, as described further below. The aggregate amount received under the PPP Loans by the Company and its subsidiaries is approximately $2.1 million. The PPP Loans mature between April 19, 2022 and April 23, 2022 and bear interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum. Commencing November 19, 2020 through November 23, 2020 (the “First Payment Dates”), the Company and its subsidiaries are required to pay the Lender all accrued interest that has not been forgiven. Additionally, beginning on the First Payment Dates and each month thereafter, the Company and its subsidiaries shall make equal monthly payments of principal and accrued interest as necessary to fully amortize the principal amount outstanding by the maturity date. The PPP Loans may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The PPP Loans are unsecured, and all or a portion of the PPP Loans may be forgiven upon application to the Lender for certain expenditure amounts made, including payroll costs, during the 8-week period beginning on the date of first disbursement, in accordance with the requirements under the PPP.

Form of Loan Agreement

 


EXHIBIT 10.1


LOAN NUMBER:

SBA LOAN NUMBER:

THIS PROMISSORY NOTE IS NOT SUBJECT TO STATE OF FLORIDA DOCUMENTARY STAMP TAX BECAUSE IT IS BEING ISSUE PURSUANT TO A PAYROLL PROTECTION PROGRAM LOAN UNDER TITLE 1 OF THE CORONAVIRUS AID, RELIEF AND ECONOMIC SECURITY ACT. EXECUTIVE ORDER NUMBER 20-95 SUSPENDS THE ASSESSMENT AND COLLECTION OF DOCUMENTARY STAMP TAX IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH LOANS EFFECTIVE APRIL 3, 2020.

THIS BUSINESS LOAN AGREEMENT AND PROMISSORY NOTE (THE “AGREEMENT”), DATED AS OF THE DATE IT IS EXECUTED BY ALL PARTIES (THE “EFFECTIVE DATE”), IS MADE BETWEEN _____________(THE “BORROWER”) AND BANKUNITED, N.A.  (THE “LENDER”) FOR AND IN CONSIDERATION OF THE LOAN AND THE MUTUAL PROMISES AND AGREEMENTS CONTAINED HEREIN.

Lender is making this Loan (as defined below) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) created by Section 1102 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act enacted March 27, 2020 (the “CARES Act”) and governed by the CARES Act, section 7(a)(36) of the Small Business Act, any rules or guidance that has been issued by the Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) implementing the PPP, or any other applicable Loan Program Requirements, as defined in 13 CFR § 120.10, as amended from time to time (collectively “PPP Loan Program Requirements”).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower (a) agrees that this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed to be consistent with the PPP Loan Program Requirements and (b) authorizes Lender to unilaterally amend any provision of this Agreement to the extent required to comply with the PPP Loan Program Requirements.


Primary Terms:

Original Principal Amount: $________ (the “Loan”). Borrower promises to pay to Lender in lawful money of the United States of America, the Loan, together with interest from the Effective date until paid in full in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

This Loan is not revolving. Borrower may not re-borrow any sums previously repaid.

Maturity Date: The Maturity Date will be two (2) years from the Effective Date, at which time, all outstanding amounts owed by Borrower under this Agreement and not otherwise forgiven in accordance with the terms of the PPP, shall be due and payable by Borrower.

Funding of the Proceeds: Borrower authorizes Lender to transfer the Loan proceeds by ACH means provided that Borrower has a deposit account with Lender. In the event that Borrower does not currently have a deposit

relationship with Lender, Borrower authorizes Lender to transfer the proceeds by wire transfer to an account held in the name of Borrower and designated by Borrower in connection with this Loan.

Interest Rate: The Interest Rate on this Loan is 1% fixed rate per annum.

Payments and Payment Dates: Borrower will pay this Loan in accordance with the following schedule:

1.

Borrower will not have to make any payments for the first six (6) months following the Effective Date (the “Deferment Period”); however, interest will continue to accrue on the Loan during the Deferment Period.

2.

Borrower’s first payment will be due seven (7) months after the Effective Date (the “Initial Payment Date”) and will continue for all months thereafter through the Maturity Date. Payments will be due on the same day of each month thereafter as the Initial Payment Date or, if any such day is not a business day, on the next succeeding business day (“Payment Dates”). Each monthly payment will be in the amount of $________.


Any Loan balance remaining following forgiveness by the SBA (as described below) will be fully re-amortized over the remaining term of the Loan. The entire principal balance remaining unpaid, along with all accrued and unpaid interest, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.


Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied in the following order of priority: (1) interest, (2) principal, (3) late fees, (4) other fees, and (5) reasonable collection costs incurred by the Lender (including reasonable attorney’s fees).

Lender may accept and process any payments marked “paid in full”, “without recourse”, or similar language without losing its rights.


Loan Forgiveness: Borrower may apply to Lender loan forgiveness (the “Loan Forgiveness”) equal to the amount spent during the eight-week period after the Effective Date for: (1) Payroll costs; (2) Interest payments on any mortgage incurred prior to February 15, 2020; (3) Rent on any lease in effect prior to February 15, 2020; and (4) Utility payments for which service began before February 15, 2020. The amount of loan forgiveness shall be calculated (and may be reduced) in accordance with the requirements of the Paycheck Protection Program, including the provisions of Section 1106 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) (P.L. 116-136). Not more than 25% of the amount forgiven can be attributable to non-payroll costs. In the event Borrower has received an EIDL advance, such amount shall be subtracted from the loan forgiveness amount.

FORGIVENESS NOT AUTOMATIC: BORROWER UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT FORGIVENESS OF THE LOAN IS NOT AUTOMATIC, THAT IT REQUIRES ACTION ON THEIR PART, THAT BORROWER WILL BE RESPONSIBLE UNDER THE LOAN FOR ANY AMOUNTS NOT FORGIVEN, AND THAT THE SBA MAY LIMIT THE TIMEFRAME BY WHICH BORROWER WILL NEED TO ASK FOR FORGIVENESS.

ACH Authorization: Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to debit or otherwise withdraw (via the ACH system, electronic checks, wires or otherwise) such funds and any payments, fees, costs, charges or other amounts Lender is entitled to receive hereunder, directly from the Borrower Account and Borrower shall not revoke or cancel such authorization until such time as all of the Indebtedness of Borrower to Lender has been paid in full. “Borrower Account” means the Borrower’s bank account as designated by Borrower to Lender and as Borrower may change by written notice to Lender.

In the event that Borrower’s financial institution rejects one or more ACH debits, Lender may in its sole discretion terminate automatic ACH debiting of Borrower’s Account. In such event, Borrower shall be responsible to timely deliver to Lender all payments due under this Agreement.

Additional Terms

Prepayments: Borrower may pay all or any portion of the principal amount of the Loan earlier than it is due without penalty. Each such prepayment will reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Loan and prepayments may reduce the total number of payments and/or the amount of the final payment due from Borrower to Lender. Unless otherwise agreed upon by Lender in writing, early payments will not relieve Borrower’s obligation to continue to make payments under the payment schedule.

Borrower may prepay 20 percent or less of the unpaid principal balance at any time without notice. If Borrower prepays more than 20 percent and the Loan has been sold on the secondary market, Borrower must: a. Give Lender written notice; b. Pay all accrued interest; and c. If the prepayment is received less than 21 days from the date Lender received the notice, pay an amount equal to 21 days interest from the date lender received the notice, less any interest accrued during the 21 days and paid under b. of this paragraph. If Borrower does not prepay within 30 days from the date Lender received the notice, Borrower must give Lender a new notice.

Electronic Signature and Communications: Borrower agrees to conduct business with Lender electronically and that the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act applies to the parties’ conduct including this Agreement. Further, Borrower agrees that no certification authority or other verification is necessary to validate Borrower’s actions including electronic

signatures and that the lack of such certification or third party verification will not in any way affect the enforceability of Borrower’s actions including signature or any resulting contract between Borrower and Lender. Borrower agrees to allow Lender to deliver disclosures, notices, documents and information electronically to Borrower. Borrower acknowledges that many electronic communications sent and received over the Internet can and are intercepted by unauthorized recipients, beyond the control of Lender. By authorizing the delivery of disclosures, notices, documents and other information electronically, Borrower understands and agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender will not be liable for any damages incident to the unauthorized receipt of electronic communications sent by Lender or received from Borrower.

Indemnification: Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and attorneys (each an “Indemnitee”) harmless of and from any claim brought or threatened against any Indemnitee by any person, including, without limitation, Borrower (as well as from attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection therewith) on account of Lender’s relationship with Borrower of the obligations under this Agreement (each of which may be defended, compromised, settled or pursued by Lender with counsel of Lender’s election, but at the expense of Borrower), except for any claim that is adjudicated in a final decision not subject to further appeal to have been caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. This indemnification shall survive payment of the obligations under this Agreement and/or any termination, release or discharge executed by Lender in favor of Borrower.


Borrower Representations: In order to induce Lender to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loan, Borrower makes the following representations and warranties, all of which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified, such representations and warranties shall be deemed made as of the date hereof:

Borrower understands and agrees that (i) Lender is located in Florida, (ii) Lender makes all credit decisions from Lender’s office in Florida, (iii) ) this Agreement is formed and fully binding only when Lender receives Borrower’s signed Agreement and fully executes it in Florida, and (iv) Lender does not accept Borrower’s payments until Lender receives the payments in Florida. Borrower and Lender agree that any action or proceeding (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or related to the transactions and relationships among the parties to the Agreement, shall be commenced exclusively in a court of competent jurisdiction in Miami-Dade County, Florida or in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Miami Division, and Borrower waives personal service of process and agrees that a summons and complaint commencing an action or proceeding in any such court shall be properly served and confer personal jurisdiction if served by registered or certified mail to Borrower, or as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Florida or the United States of America. Borrower and Lender expressly submit and consent in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such courts, and each party hereby waives any objection which such party may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens.


When SBA is the holder, this Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under federal law, including SBA regulations. Lender or SBA may use state or local procedures for filing papers, recording documents, giving notice, foreclosing liens, and any other purposes. By using any such procedures, SBA does not waive any federal immunity from state or local control, penalty, tax or liability. As to this Note, Borrower may not claim or assert against SBA any local or state law to deny any obligation, defeat any claim of SBA, or preempt federal law.


Miscellaneous Provisions


Amendments. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties as to the matters set forth in this Agreement. No alteration of or amendment to this Agreement shall be effective unless given in writing and signed by the parties sought to be charged or bound by the alteration or amendment.

The Lender shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion.


Consent to Loan Assignment and Participation. Borrower agrees and consents to Lender’s sale or transfer of all or any portion of the Loan or one or more participation interests in the Loan to one or more purchasers, whether related or unrelated to Lender. Borrower also agrees that the purchasers of the Loan or any such participation interests will have all the rights granted under the assignment or participation agreement or such other agreements governing the sale of the Loan or any such participation interests. Borrower further waives all rights of offset or counterclaim that it may have now or later against Lender or against any purchaser of the Loan or such a participation interest and unconditionally agrees that either Lender or such purchaser may enforce Borrower’s obligation under the Loan irrespective of the failure or insolvency of any holder of any interest in the Loan. Borrower further agrees that the purchaser of the Loan or such participation interests may enforce its interests irrespective of any personal claims or defenses that Borrower may have against Lender.


Indebtedness. As used in this Agreement, the word “Indebtedness” means all of the principal amount of the Loan outstanding from time to time, all accrued unpaid interest thereon, all fees payable by Borrower to Lender, and all collection costs and legal expenses related thereto (including attorneys' fees) that are incurred by Lender and are permitted by applicable law, arising under this Agreement.

Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any circumstance, that finding shall not make the offending provision illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any other circumstance. If feasible, the offending provision shall be considered modified so that it becomes legal, valid and enforceable. If the offending provision cannot be so modified, it shall be considered deleted from this Agreement. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this

Agreement shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.


Subsidiaries and Affiliates of Borrower. To the extent the context of any provisions of this Agreement makes it appropriate, including without limitation any representation, warranty or covenant, the word “Borrower” as used in this Agreement shall include all of Borrower’s subsidiaries and affiliates. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Lender, Borrower and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender.
