On February 3, 2015, TSS, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries Innovative Power Systems, Inc., VTC, L.L.C., Vortech, L.L.C., Total Site Solutions Arizona, LLC and Alletag Buildings, Inc. (together with the Company, collectively, the “Borrowers”) entered into a multiple advance term loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) and related agreements with MHW SPV II, LLC (“MHW”) for a loan in the maximum principal amount of $2,000,000 (the “Loan”).

 

In accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, MHW provided $945,000 on February 3, 2015, and the remainder of the Loan may be advanced in MHW’s discretion to the Borrowers prior to February 23, 2015. The Borrowers may decide whether to accept such an advance in their discretion. The Borrowers executed a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) to evidence the Loan and the terms of repayment.

 

The Loan requires interest only payments made on a monthly basis beginning on March 1, 2015 and bears annual interest at a fixed rate of 12%. The Loan has a maturity date of 60 months from the date of the last advance by MHW of the proceeds of the Loan. The Borrowers are permitted to make optional prepayments at any time, subject to a prepayment fee of (a) 4% of the amount prepaid if the prepayment is made prior to February 3, 2016, (b) 2% of the amount prepaid if the prepayment is made between February 4, 2016 and February 3, 2017 and (c) 1% of the amount prepaid if the prepayment is made between February 4, 2017 and February 3, 2018.

 

The Loan Agreement and ancillary documents include customary affirmative covenants for secured transactions of this type, including compliance with laws, maintenance of insurance, maintenance of assets, timely payment of taxes and notice of adverse events. The Loan Agreement and ancillary documents include customary negative covenants, including limitations on liens on assets of the Borrowers.

 

The Loan Agreement and ancillary documents include customary events of default, including payment defaults, the making of false or misleading representations or warranties included in the Loan Agreement and ancillary documents, failure to perform or observe terms, covenants or agreements included in the Loan Agreement and ancillary documents, insolvency and bankruptcy defaults and dissolution and liquidation defaults.

 

The obligations under the Loan are secured by substantially all of the Borrower’s assets pursuant to the terms of a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”). The parties also executed a Subordination Agreement to evidence their agreement that the Loan is subordinated to the senior debt held by Bridge Bank, National Association.

 

The Company and MHW also entered into a warrant (the “Warrant”) granting MHW the right to purchase up to 1,115,827 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Common Stock”). The Warrant is exercisable for a period of five years from February 3, 2015 at an exercise price of $0.50 for the first 472,500 shares, $1.00 for the next 425,250 shares and $1.30 for the final 218,077 shares. The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of the Warrant will be subject to adjustment in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction.

 

 
 

 

Peter H. Woodward, the chairman of the board of directors of the Company, is a principal of MHW Capital Management, LLC, which is the investment manager of MHW. MHW Capital Management, LLC is entitled to a performance related fee equal to 10% of any appreciation in the valuation of the common stock of the Company in excess of the applicable strike price under the Warrant.

This SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT, dated as of February 3, 2015, is between MHW SPV II, LLC ("Creditor"), and BRIDGE BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, ("Lender").

 

RECITALS

 

A.           TSS, Inc., Innovative Power Systems, Inc., and VTC, L.L.C. (each a “Borrower”, and collectively "Borrowers") and Vortech, L.L.C., Total Site Solutions Arizona, LLC, and Alletag Builders, Inc. (each a “Guarantor”, and collectively “Guarantors”) have requested and/or obtained certain credit accommodations from Lender which are or may be from time to time secured by assets and property of Borrower and/or Guarantor. Borrowers and Guarantors are jointly and severally referred to herein as “Debtor”.

 

B.           Creditor has extended loans or other credit accommodations to Debtor, and/or may extend loans or other credit accommodations to Debtor from time to time.

 

C.           In order to induce Lender to extend credit to Debtor and, at any time or from time to time, at Lender's option, to make such further loans, extensions of credit, or other accommodations to or for the account of Debtor, or to extend credit upon any instrument or writing in respect of which Debtor may be liable in any capacity, or to grant such renewals or extension of any such loan, extension of credit, or other accommodation as Lender may deem advisable, Creditor is willing to subordinate: (i) all of Debtor's indebtedness and obligations to Creditor, whether presently existing or arising in the future (the "Subordinated Debt") to all of Debtor’s indebtedness and obligations to Lender; and (ii) all of Creditor's security interests, if any, to all of Lender's security interests in the property of Debtor.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

 

1.          Creditor subordinates to Lender any security interest or lien that Creditor may have in any property of Debtor. Notwithstanding the respective dates of attachment or perfection of the security interest of Creditor and the security interest of Lender, the security interest of Lender in the accounts, including health care receivables, chattel paper, general intangibles, inventory, equipment, instruments, including promissory notes, deposit accounts, investment property, documents, letter of credit rights, any commercial tort claim of Debtor which is now or hereafter identified by Debtor or Lender, and other property of the Debtor (the "Collateral") shall at all times be prior to the security interest of Creditor.

 

2.          All Subordinated Debt is subordinated in right of payment to all obligations of Debtor to Lender now existing or hereafter arising, together with all costs of collecting such obligations (including attorneys' fees), including, without limitation, all interest accruing after the commencement by or against Debtor of any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding (the "Senior Debt").

 

3.          Creditor will not [demand or] receive from Debtor (and Debtor will not pay to Creditor) all or any part of the Subordinated Debt, by way of payment, prepayment, setoff, lawsuit or otherwise, nor will Creditor exercise any remedy with respect to the Collateral or any other collateral securing the Subordinated Debt, nor will Creditor accelerate the Subordinated Debt, or commence, or cause to commence, prosecute or participate in any administrative, legal or equitable action against Debtor, until such time as all the Senior Debt is fully paid in cash, and all of Lender’s obligations owing to Debtor have been terminated. The foregoing notwithstanding, Creditor shall be entitled to receive each regularly scheduled payment of interest or principal that constitutes Subordinated Debt, provided that a default under the Senior Debt has not occurred and is not continuing and would not exist immediately after such payment. Nothing in the foregoing paragraph shall prohibit Creditor from converting all or any part of the Subordinated Debt into equity securities of Debtor.

 

1
 

  

4.          Creditor shall promptly deliver to Lender in the form received (except for endorsement or assignment by Creditor where required by Lender) for application to the Senior Debt any payment, distribution, security or proceeds received by Creditor with respect to the Subordinated Debt other than in accordance with this Agreement.

 

5.          In the event of Debtor's insolvency, reorganization or any case or proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or laws relating to the relief of debtors, these provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and Lender's claims against Debtor and the estate of Debtor shall be paid in full before any payment is made to Creditor. For the avoidance of any doubt, Senior Debt includes, without limitation, any Lender's claims against Debtor and the estate of Debtor arising from the granting of credit under Section 364 or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, and Creditor agrees that it will raise no objection thereto.

 

6.          Until the Senior Debt is fully paid in cash, and all of Lender's obligations owing to Debtor have been terminated, Creditor agrees that it will not object to or oppose (i) the sale of the Debtor, or (ii) the sale or other disposition of any property of the Debtor or the estate of Debtor, if Lender has consented to such sale of the Debtor or sale or disposition of any property of the Debtor or the estate of Debtor. If requested by Lender, Creditor shall affirmatively consent to such sale or disposition and shall take all necessary actions and execute such documents and instruments as Lender may reasonably request in connection with and to facilitate such sale or disposition.

 

7.          Until the Senior Debt is fully paid in cash, and all of Lender’s obligations owing to Debtor have been terminated, Creditor irrevocably appoints Lender as Creditor's attorney-in-fact, and grants to Lender a power of attorney with full power of substitution, in the name of Creditor or in the name of Lender, for the use and benefit of Lender, without notice to Creditor, to perform at Lender's option the following acts in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding involving Debtor: (i) to file the appropriate claim or claims in respect of the Subordinated Debt on behalf of Creditor if Creditor does not do so prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file claims in such proceeding and if Lender elects, in its sole discretion, to file such claim or claims; and (ii) to accept or reject any plan of reorganization or arrangement on behalf of Creditor and to otherwise vote Creditor's claims in respect of any Subordinated Debt in any manner that Lender deems appropriate for the enforcement of its rights hereunder.

 

8.          Creditor shall immediately affix a legend to the instruments evidencing the Subordinated Debt stating that the instruments are subject to the terms of this Agreement. No amendment of the documents evidencing or relating to the Subordinated Debt shall directly or indirectly modify the provisions of this Agreement in any manner which might terminate or impair the subordination of the Subordinated Debt or the subordination of the security interest or lien that Creditor may have in any property of Debtor. By way of example, such instruments shall not be amended to (i) increase the rate of interest with respect to the Subordinated Debt, or (ii) accelerate the payment of the principal or interest or any other portion of the Subordinated Debt.

 

2
 

  

9.          This Agreement shall remain effective for so long as Debtor owes any amounts to Lender. If, at any time after payment in full of the Senior Debt, any payments of the Senior Debt must be disgorged by Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, the bankruptcy of Debtor), this Agreement and the relative rights and priorities set forth herein shall be reinstated as to all such disgorged payments as though such payments had not been made and Creditor shall immediately pay over to Lender all payments received with respect to the Subordinated Debt to the extent that such payments would have been prohibited hereunder. At any time and from time to time, without notice to Creditor, Lender may take such actions with respect to the Senior Debt and the Collateral as Lender, in its sole discretion, may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, terminating advances to Debtor, increasing the principal amount, extending the time of payment, increasing applicable interest rates, renewing, compromising or otherwise amending the terms of any documents affecting the Senior Debt and any Collateral, judicial foreclosure, nonjudicial foreclosure, exercise of a power of sale, and taking a deed, assignment or transfer in lieu of foreclosure as to any of the Collateral, and enforcing or failing to enforce any rights against Debtor or any other person. No such action or inaction shall impair or otherwise affect Lender's rights hereunder. Creditor agrees not to assert against Lender (a) any rights which a guarantor or surety could exercise; but nothing in this Agreement shall constitute Creditor a guarantor or surety; (b) the right, if any, to require Lender to marshal or otherwise require Lender to proceed to dispose of or foreclose upon any of the Collateral in any manner or order; and (c) any right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, or indemnity which it may have against Debtor arising directly or indirectly out of this Agreement. Creditor waives the benefits, if any, of California Civil Code Sections 2799, 2808, 2809, 2810, 2815, 2819, 2820, 2821, 2822, 2839, 2845, 2847, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433. Pursuant to Section 2856 of the California Civil Code, Creditor waives all rights and defenses that Creditor may have because the Senior Debt may be secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

 

10.         This Agreement shall bind any successors or assignees of Creditor and shall benefit any successors or assigns of Lender. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of Creditor and Lender and not for the benefit of Debtor or any other party. Creditor further agrees that if Debtor is in the process of refinancing a portion of the Senior Debt with a new lender, and if Lender makes a request of Creditor, Creditor shall agree to enter into a new subordination agreement with the new lender on substantially the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

11.         This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

 

12.         This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles. Creditor and Lender submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Santa Clara County, California. CREDITOR AND LENDER WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN.

 

13.          REFERENCE PROVISION.

 

a.           In the event the Jury Trial waiver is not enforceable, the parties elect to proceed under this Judicial Reference Provision.

 

b.           With the exception of the items specified in the subsection (c) below, any controversy, dispute or claim (each, a “Claim”) between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other document, instrument or agreement between the undersigned parties (collectively in this Section, the “Loan Documents”), will be resolved by a reference proceeding in California in accordance with the provisions of Sections 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”), or their successor sections, which shall constitute the exclusive remedy for the resolution of any Claim, including whether the Claim is subject to the reference proceeding. Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, venue for the reference proceeding will be in the state or federal court in the county or district where the real property involved in the action, if any, is located or in the state or federal court in the county or district where venue is otherwise appropriate under applicable law (the “Court”).

 

c.           The matters that shall not be subject to a reference are the following: (i) nonjudicial foreclosure of any security interests in real or personal property, (ii) exercise of self-help remedies (including, without limitation, set-off), (iii) appointment of a receiver and (iv) temporary, provisional or ancillary remedies (including, without limitation, writs of attachment, writs of possession, temporary restraining orders or preliminary injunctions). This reference provision does not limit the right of any party to exercise or oppose any of the rights and remedies described in clauses (i) and (ii) or to seek or oppose from a court of competent jurisdiction any of the items described in clauses (iii) and (iv). The exercise of, or opposition to, any of those items does not waive the right of any party to a reference pursuant to this reference provision as provided herein.

d.           The referee shall be a retired judge or justice selected by mutual written agreement of the parties. If the parties do not agree within ten (10) days of a written request to do so by any party, then, upon request of any party, the referee shall be selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative). A request for appointment of a referee may be heard on an ex parte or expedited basis, and the parties agree that irreparable harm would result if ex parte relief is not granted. Pursuant to CCP § 170.6, each party shall have one peremptory challenge to the referee selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative).

 

e.           The parties agree that time is of the essence in conducting the reference proceedings. Accordingly, the referee shall be requested, subject to change in the time periods specified herein for good cause shown, to (i) set the matter for a status and trial-setting conference within fifteen (15) days after the date of selection of the referee, (ii) if practicable, try all issues of law or fact within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the conference and (iii) report a statement of decision within twenty (20) days after the matter has been submitted for decision.

 

f.            The referee will have power to expand or limit the amount and duration of discovery. The referee may set or extend discovery deadlines or cutoffs for good cause, including a party’s failure to provide requested discovery for any reason whatsoever. Unless otherwise ordered based upon good cause shown, no party shall be entitled to “priority” in conducting discovery, depositions may be taken by either party upon seven (7) days written notice, and all other discovery shall be responded to within fifteen (15) days after service. All disputes relating to discovery which cannot be resolved by the parties shall be submitted to the referee whose decision shall be final and binding.

 

g.           Except as expressly set forth herein, the referee shall determine the manner in which the reference proceeding is conducted including the time and place of hearings, the order of presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to the course of the reference proceeding. All proceedings and hearings conducted before the referee, except for trial, shall be conducted without a court reporter, except that when any party so requests, a court reporter will be used at any hearing conducted before the referee, and the referee will be provided a courtesy copy of the transcript. The party making such a request shall have the obligation to arrange for and pay the court reporter. Subject to the referee’s power to award costs to the prevailing party, the parties will equally share the cost of the referee and the court reporter at trial.

 

h.           The referee shall be required to determine all issues in accordance with existing case law and the statutory laws of the State of California. The rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law in the State of California will be applicable to the reference proceeding. The referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well as legal relief, enter equitable orders that will be binding on the parties and rule on any motion which would be authorized in a court proceeding, including without limitation motions for summary judgment or summary adjudication. The referee shall issue a decision at the close of the reference proceeding which disposes of all claims of the parties that are the subject of the reference. Pursuant to CCP § 644, such decision shall be entered by the Court as a judgment or an order in the same manner as if the action had been tried by the Court and any such decision will be final, binding and conclusive. The parties reserve the right to appeal from the final judgment or order or from any appealable decision or order entered by the referee. The parties reserve the right to findings of fact, conclusions of laws, a written statement of decision, and the right to move for a new trial or a different judgment, which new trial, if granted, is also to be a reference proceeding under this provision.

 

i.            If the enabling legislation which provides for appointment of a referee is repealed (and no successor statute is enacted), any dispute between the parties that would otherwise be determined by reference procedure will be resolved and determined by arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by a retired judge or justice, in accordance with the California Arbitration Act §1280 through §1294.2 of the CCP as amended from time to time. The limitations with respect to discovery set forth above shall apply to any such arbitration proceeding.

j.            THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL CONTROVERSIES, DISPUTES AND CLAIMS RESOLVED UNDER THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL BE DECIDED BY A REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY. AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS OR HER OWN CHOICE, EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES, AGREES THAT THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL APPLY TO ANY CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CLAIM BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

 

14.         This Agreement represents the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and commitments. Creditor is not relying on any representations by Lender or Debtor in entering into this Agreement, and Creditor has kept and will continue to keep itself fully apprised of the financial and other condition of Debtor. This Agreement may be amended only by written instrument signed by Creditor and Lender.

 

15.         In the event of any legal action to enforce the rights of a party under this Agreement, the party prevailing in such action shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in such action.

7.           Replacement on Loss; Division and Combination .

 

(a)           Replacement of Warrant on Loss .

TSS, INC. CLOSES SUBORDINATED DEBT FINANCING

 

Round Rock, TX – February 5, 2015 – TSS, Inc. (OTCQB: TSSI) , a data center and mission critical facilities and technology services company, announced today that it has closed a subordinated debt financing in the amount of $945,000. TSS issued a subordinated promissory note under a loan agreement between TSS and MHV SPV II, LLC. The loan agreement contemplates up to $2 million in aggregate borrowings, and MHW SPV II has the exclusive right, with TSS’ consent, to provide up to $1,055,000 of additional financing through February 23, 2015, on terms described below. There is no assurance that TSS will obtain this additional financing. Peter H. Woodward, the chairman of the board of directors of TSS, is a principal of MHW Capital Management, which is the investment manager of MHW SPV II, LLC.

 

The promissory note is due in five years, and bears interest at a fixed rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum payable on the first day of each month, commencing on March 1, 2015. In connection with this financing, TSS issued a warrant to MHV SPV II, LLC to purchase 472,500 shares of TSS common stock for $0.50 per share, 425,250 shares of common stock for $1.00 per share, and 218,077 shares of common stock for $1.30 per share before February 3, 2020.

 

“The proceeds of this financing, along with improving operating performance, will provide us with additional capital for future growth” said Anthony Angelini, President and CEO of TSS. “Although our year-end audit is not complete, we are pleased with our preliminary results in the fourth quarter and the strength of our sales pipeline entering 2015. The structure of the financing announced today strengthens our balance sheet without excessive shareholder dilution, and the strike prices of the warrant indicate the optimism around our ability to increase the value of the company going forward.”

Forward Looking Statements

 

This press release may contain "forward-looking statements" — that is, statements related to future — not past — events, plans, and prospects. In this context, forward-looking statements may address matters such as our expected future business and financial performance, and often contain words such as "guidance," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "should," or "will." Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. Particular uncertainties that could adversely or positively affect the Company's future results include: the Company's reliance on a significant portion of its revenues from a limited number of customers; risks relating to operating in a highly competitive industry; risks relating to rapid technological, structural, and competitive changes affecting the industries the Company serves; risks involved in properly managing complex projects; risks relating the possible cancellation of customer contracts on short notice; risks relating our ability to continue to implement our strategy, including having sufficient financial resources to carry out that strategy; uncertainty related to current economic conditions and the related impact on demand for our services; and other risks and uncertainties disclosed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. These uncertainties may cause the Company's actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in the Company's forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements.
