On October 28, 2016, Benefitfocus, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain subsidiaries of the Company (the “Borrowers”) entered into the Fourth Amendment Agreement (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, dated as of February 20, 2015, as amended on June 16, 2015, December 18, 2015 and March 24, 2016 (the “Credit Agreement”), with Silicon Valley Bank, a lender and the administrative agent and collateral agent, and several other lenders party thereto. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

The Amendment increases the borrowing limit under the Credit Agreement from $60 million to $95 million and extends the termination date to February 20, 2020. The Amendment alters definitions including Alternate Base Rate, Applicable Margin, Consolidated EBITDA, and Liquidity and changes the liquidity thresholds on the Commitment Fee Rate. It revises certain covenants of the Borrowers, including, but not limited to, those related to accounts receivable, Minimum Consolidated EBITDA requirements, Indebtedness, and certain capital expenditure limits. The Amendment also waives any default that may have occurred as a result of certain Indebtedness incurred by the Borrowers and the disclosure to the lenders of registered Intellectual Property.
