Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Effective February 28, 2018, Towerstream Corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries Hetnets Tower Corporation, Omega Communications Corporation, Alpha Communications Corporation and Towerstream Houston, Inc. entered into an amended and restated Forbearance to Loan Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Agreement”) with Melody Business Finance LLC (“Melody”) and the majority 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 Amended and Restated Agreement, Melody and the majority lenders waived the Company’s requirement under Section 6.1(a)(i) of the Loan Agreement to deliver to Melody an auditor’s report without a “going concern” qualification in connection with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. The Amended and Restated Agreement amends and restates the forbearance agreement by and between the Company and Melody originally effective January 26, 2018 (the “Original Forbearance Agreement”) and described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 1, 2018. Except as described herein, the terms of the Original Forbearance Agreement remain unchanged.

This description of the Amended and Restated 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.
