Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 20, 2024, STRATA Skin Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into (a) the Amendment No. 4 to Credit and Security Agreement (the “Amendment”) among MidCap Financial Trust (“MidCap”), as administrative agent, and the lenders identified therein, which amended the Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2021, as amended January 10, 2022, September 6, 2022 and June 30, 2023 (as amended by the Amendment, the “MidCap Credit Agreement”), and (b) a second amended and restated letter agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Fee Letter Agreement”) with MidCap, as agent.

In connection with the Amendment, the parties revised the applicable minimum net revenue threshold financial covenant are set at $29.0 million, $29.25 million, $29.5 million and $30.0 million for the periods ending March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024, September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and as set forth in the Amendment thereafter.  Because the Company did not anticipate being in compliance with the applicable minimum net revenue financial threshold covenant for the period ended December 31, 2023 under the MidCap Credit Agreement, MidCap and the lenders in the Amendment, among other things, agreed to grant a limited waiver of the foregoing event that had occurred prior to the effectiveness of the Amendment and of any right the lenders may have to exercise any of their rights against the Company as a result.

Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Fee Letter Agreement, the Company agreed to pay MidCap, as administrative agent, the following fees: (a) an origination fee on September 30, 2021 in the amount of $40,000, which was fully earned and paid; (b) on the maturity date of the MidCap Credit Agreement or any earlier date on which the obligations thereunder become due and payable in full or are otherwise paid full (such date, the “Full Exit Fee Payment Date”), the Company shall pay an exit fee equal to (i) 4.0% of the total aggregate principal amount of Credit Extensions (as defined in the MidCap Credit Agreement) made pursuant to the MidCap Credit Agreement (regardless of any repayment or prepayment thereof) as of the Full Exit Fee Payment Date (such aggregate amount, the “Exit Fee Base Amount”), less (ii) any Partial Exit Fee (as defined below) previously paid; (c) on the date of any voluntary or mandatory partial prepayment of the borrowings under the MidCap Credit Agreement (or on the date such mandatory prepayment becomes due and payable) (each such date, a “Partial Exit Fee Payment Date”), the Company shall pay an exit fee equal to 4.0% of the principal amount of the credit facilities paid or prepaid (or required to be paid in the case of a mandatory prepayment) as of the Partial Exit Fee Payment Date (such amount, the “Partial Exit Fee”); (d) an origination fee on June 30, 2023 in the amount equal to the the Credit Extensions (as defined in the MidCap Credit Agreement) in respect of Credit Facility #2 (as defined in the MidCap Credit Agreement), multiplied by (ii) 0.50%, which has been paid and is non-refundable; and (e) an origination fee payable contemporaneously with funding Credit Facility #3 in an amount equal to (i) the Credit Extensions (as defined in the MidCap Credit Agreement) in respect of Credit Facility #3 (as defined in the MidCap Credit Agreement), multiplied by (ii) 0.50%.

The foregoing description of the Amendment, the MidCap Credit Agreement, and the Second Amended and Restated Fee Letter Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of such documents.  Copies of the Amendment, the MidCap Credit Agreement, and the Second Amended and Restated Fee Letter Agreement are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. The representations, warranties and covenants set forth in the Amendment, the MidCap Credit Agreement, the Fee Letter Agreement, the A&R Warrant and the A&R Registration Rights Agreement have been made only for the purposes of the Amendment, the MidCap Credit Agreement, and the Second Amended and Restated Fee Letter Agreement, respectively, and solely for the benefit of the parties thereto and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to such agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts. In addition, such representations and warranties were made only as of the dates specified in the Amendment, the MidCap Credit Agreement, and the Second Amended and Restated Fee Letter Agreement and information regarding the subject matter thereof may change after the date thereof. Accordingly, the Amendment, the MidCap Credit Agreement, and the Second Amended and Restated Fee Letter Agreement are included with this filing only to provide investors with information regarding its terms and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding the Company or its business as of the date thereof or as of any other date. Investors and security holders should not rely on such representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances, since they were made only as of a specific date and are modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules. In addition, certain representations and warranties may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what might be viewed as material to stockholders.

Re:
Amendment No. 4 to Credit and Security Agreement with STRATA Skin Sciences, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
This second amended and restated fee letter (“Fee Letter”) is a “Fee Letter” referred to in that certain Credit and Security Agreement dated as of September 30, 2021 (as amended, restated, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among STRATA Skin Sciences, Inc., a Delaware Corporation, as Borrower (together with any other entities from time to time party thereto as borrowers, collectively in the singular, “Borrower”), the financial institutions or other entities from time to time parties thereto as lenders (the “Lenders”), and MIDCAP FINANCIAL TRUST, a Delaware statutory trust, individually as administrative agent (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, “Agent”).  Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings contained in the Credit Agreement.
 
In addition to any fees, expenses or other amounts payable by Borrower to Agent and the Lenders under the terms of the Financing Documents, to induce Agent and the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement, and to extend to Borrower the Credit Facilities, and as consideration for Agent and Lenders making the Credit Facilities available to Borrower, Borrower agrees to pay to Agent, or any affiliate thereof as directed by Agent, the following fees at the following times:
 

1.
on the Closing Date, Borrower paid to Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders committed to make Credit Extensions as of the Closing Date, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, an origination fee in an amount equal to $40,000.  Such fee was fully earned as of the Closing Date.
 

2.
on the Maturity Date, or on any earlier date on which the Obligations become due and payable in full (whether by voluntary prepayment by Borrower, by mandatory prepayment by Borrower, by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default or the acceleration (including any automatic acceleration due to the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 10.1(f) of the Credit Agreement) or otherwise) or are otherwise paid in full (such date, the “Full Exit Fee Payment Date”), Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of all Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, an amount equal to (a) four percent (4.00%) of the Exit Fee Base Amount (as defined below) less (b) any Partial Exit Fee (as defined below) previously paid.  The “Exit Fee Base Amount” means the total aggregate principal amount of Credit Extensions made pursuant to the Credit Agreement (regardless of any repayment or prepayment thereof) as of the Full Exit Fee Payment Date.
 

3.
on the date of any voluntary or mandatory partial prepayment of the Credit Facilities (or, in the case of a mandatory partial prepayment under the Credit Agreement, on the date such mandatory prepayment becomes due and payable) (each such date, a “Partial Exit Fee Payment Date”), Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of all Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, an amount equal to four percent (4.00%) of the principal amount of the Credit Facilities paid or prepaid (or in the case of a mandatory prepayment, required to be paid) on such Partial Exit Fee Payment Date (the fee in this paragraph 3 is herein referred to as the “Partial Exit Fee”).

On the Third Amendment Effective Date, Borrower paid to Agent, for the benefit of all Lenders committed to make Credit Extensions in respect of Credit Facility #2, an origination fee in an amount equal to the Credit Extensions in respect of Credit Facility #2 multiplied by one half of one percent (0.50%).  All fees payable pursuant to this paragraph are paid and non-refundable
 

5.
Contemporaneous with the funding of the Credit Extensions in respect of Credit Facility #3, Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of all Lenders committed to make Credit Extensions in respect of Credit Facility #3, an origination fee in an amount equal to the Credit Extensions in respect of Credit Facility #3 multiplied by one half of one percent (0.50%).  All fees payable pursuant to this paragraph shall be due and payable on the date the Credit Extensions in respect of Credit Facility #3 are funded and, once paid, shall be non-refundable.
 
Borrower agrees that, once paid, the fees and expenses or any part thereof payable hereunder shall not be refundable under any circumstances. All fees and expenses payable hereunder shall be paid in immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars and shall not be subject to reduction by way of withholding, setoff or counterclaim or be otherwise affected by any claim or dispute related to any other matter, and shall be in addition to the reimbursement obligations set forth in the Credit Agreement or any other Financing Document and any other fee, cost or expense payable under the Credit Agreement or any other Financing Document. Borrower agrees that Agent and Lenders may, in their sole discretion, share all or a portion of any of the fees payable pursuant to this Fee Letter with any of their respective Affiliates.
 
Borrower agrees not to disclose any or all of the terms of this Fee Letter to any person other than Borrower’s Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys or accountants, in each case, to whom it is necessary to disclose the information (and whom, in each case, shall be made aware of this agreement not to disclose) or as may be required by law or any court or regulatory agency having jurisdiction over Borrower.
 
This Fee Letter may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one document.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Fee Letter by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall constitute valid delivery of an executed counterpart hereof.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, “delivery” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Fee Letter and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.  As used herein, “Electronic Signature” means an electronic sound, symbol, or process attached to, or associated with, a contract or other record and adopted by a Person with the intent to sign, authenticate or accept such contract or other record.
