Consent, Waiver, Reaffirmation and Amendment Number One to Credit Agreement

            As previously disclosed, on April 6, 2016, Overland Storage, Inc., a California corporation (“Overland”) and wholly owned subsidiary of Sphere 3D Corp. (the “Company”), Tandberg Data GmbH, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Germany (“Tandberg” and, together with Overland, collectively the “Borrowers”), and Opus Bank, a California commercial bank, as Lender (“Lender”), entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) pursuant to which the Lender provided the Borrowers a $10 Million revolving credit facility and Overland $10 Million term loan facility. On December 30, 2016, the Borrowers and Lender entered into a Consent, Waiver, Reaffirmation and Amendment Number One to Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) pursuant to which (i) the maturity date for the revolving and term loan credit facilities were amended to be the earlier of the maturity date in the 8% Senior Secured Convertible Debenture, dated December 1, 2014, issued to FBC Holdings S.a r.l. (the “Debenture”), or March 31, 2017, (ii) the Lender granted a waiver of specified defaults under the Credit Agreement relating to a minimum asset coverage ratio, (iii) the Lender provided its consent to the consummation of the acquisition of equity interests of certain target companies, and (iv) certain other terms of the Credit Agreement were amended, including but not limited to terms related to collateral coverage, milestone deliverables, and financial covenants.

            Further, as a condition of the entry into the First Amendment, the Company (i) cancelled the warrant issued to Lender for the purchase of 1,541,768 common shares at an exercise price of $1.30 per common share and (ii) issued to the Lender a warrant (the “Replacement Warrant”) for the purchase of up to 862,068 common shares at an exercise price of $0.01 per common share. The Replacement Warrant provides for “piggyback” registration rights.

            The foregoing descriptions of the First Amendment and the Replacement Warrant do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to each of the First Amendment and the Replacement Warrant, attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference. Portions of the First Amendment have been redacted based upon a request for confidential treatment filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Amendments Number Two and Three to Credit Agreement, Amendment Number One to Amendment Number 1, Waiver and Reaffirmation

            On March 12, 2017, the Borrowers and Lender entered into an Amendment Number Two to Credit Agreement, Amendment Number One to Amendment Number 1, Waiver and Reaffirmation (the “Second Amendment”). On March 22, 2017, the Borrowers and Lender entered into an Amendment Number Three to Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) further amending the Second Amendment. Under the terms of the Second Amendment, as modified by the Third Amendment, (i) the maturity date for the revolving and term loan credit facilities were amended to be the earlier of (a) the maturity date in the Debenture or (b) (x) June 30, 2017 if the Maturity Extension Trigger Date (as defined below) occurs on or before March 31, 2017 or (y) if the Maturity Extension Trigger Date has not occurred by such date, March 31, 2017, (ii) the Lender granted a waiver of specified defaults under the Credit Agreement relating to obligations to deliver to the Lender an executed letter of intent with respect to refinancing the credit facility, and (iii) certain other terms of the Credit Agreement were amended, including but not limited to terms related to collateral coverage, milestone deliverables, and financial covenants. The Maturity Extension Trigger Date is the date upon which both of the following conditions have been satisfied: (a) the Company shall have received gross cash proceeds of at least $3,000,000 from the issuance of the common shares and related warrants and (b) the Company shall have deposited at least $2,500,000 of the funds raised in an equity offering into the primary operating account that Overland maintains at Opus Bank. In the event of certain specified events of default, including failure to meet certain monthly revenue and EBITDA targets, to enter into a term sheet with a new lender by April 28, 2017, or to enter into a letter of intent with respect to a financing or retain a financial advisor with respect to a sale of a significant portion of the company's assets, all amounts under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated and become immediately payable.

            Further, as a condition of the entry into the Second Amendment, the Company issued to the Lender (i) a warrant (the “First Additional Warrant”), exercisable in the event that the Company has not repaid all outstanding amounts due under the Credit Agreement on or prior to April 17, 2017, for the purchase of the number of common shares determined by dividing (i) 75,000 by (ii) the difference between the market price of our common shares on April 17, 2017 and $0.01, at an exercise price of $0.01 per common share and (ii) a warrant (the “Second Additional Warrant”), exercisable in the event that the Company has not repaid all outstanding amounts due under the Credit Agreement on or prior to May 31, 2017, for the purchase of the number of common shares determined by dividing (i) 100,000 by (ii) the difference between the market price of our common shares on May 31, 2017 and $0.01, at an exercise price of $0.01 per common share. In addition, the warrants provide for “piggyback” registration rights.


            The foregoing descriptions of the Second Amendment, the First Additional Warrant, the Second Additional Warrant and the Third Amendment do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to each of the Amendments and the Warrants, attached hereto as Exhibits 99.3, 99.4, 99.5 and 99.6, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference. Portions of the Second Amendment and Third Amendment have been redacted based upon a request for confidential treatment filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Term Loan Agreement

            The Company and FBC Holdings S.a r.l. (“FBC”), a company organized under the laws of Luxembourg, entered into a Term Loan Agreement, dated as of September 16, 2016, pursuant to which FBC provided a term loan to the Company in the principal amount of $2,500,000. The loan bears an interest rate of 20% per annum and is repayable in equal monthly installments with the first such payment paid in January 2017. The Term Loan Agreement contains customary covenants, and is secured by substantially all assets of the Company.
