Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Effective January 26, 2018, Towerstream Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Forbearance to Loan Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Melody Business Finance LLC (“Melody”), as administrative agent to the lenders under the loan agreement entered into on October 16, 2014 by and among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries, Melody and the lenders party thereto (the “Loan Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, Melody, through March 30, 2018 (the “Forbearance Period”), waived the Company’s requirement to maintain at least $6,500,000 minimum in deposit accounts or securities accounts (the “$6,500,000 Minimum”) and agreed to forbear from exercising any of its rights with respect to an event of default related to the $6,500,000 Minimum. The Forbearance Period shall terminate upon the Company’s failure to maintain at least $4,000,000 minimum in deposit accounts or securities accounts or upon the occurrence of certain events of default.

This description of the Forbearance Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to its complete text, which the Company intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017.
