Amendments and Arrangements with respect to Transaction Documents

 

On February 12, 2019, the Company and CityBase entered into an amendment to the CityBase Agreement (the “CityBase Amendment”) pursuant to which the amount of cash payable at closing to all CityBase shareholders was reduced by an aggregate amount of $25 million and, in lieu of receiving cash, each CityBase shareholder has the right to receive, at its option, either (i) common stock of New GTY subject to a one-year lockup period or (ii) common stock of New GTY which is redeemable at any time, in the sole discretion of New GTY, for a promissory note bearing interest equal to 8% per annum in the first year after issuance and 10.0% per annum thereafter (subject to an increase of 1% for each additional 6 months that has elapsed without full payment of such note(s)) (the “CityBase Redeemable Shares”).

 

On February 13, 2019, the Company entered into agreements with certain eCivis shareholders (the “eCivis Shareholder Agreements”) whereby such shareholders waived their rights under the eCivis Agreement to receive $7,036,310 in cash at the closing of the Business Combination and, in consideration therefor, agreed to receive 703,631 common shares of New GTY (the “eCivis Redeemable Shares”), which such shares are redeemable at any time in the sole discretion of New GTY for an amount of cash equal to the 30-day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) on the applicable date of redemption (the “Redemption Price”) plus an amount equal to (i) 5% of the Redemption Price multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that have elapsed since the closing of the Business Combination and the denominator of which is 365. The agreements also provide that for every eCivis Redeemable Share redeemed, New GTY will redeem 0.4 additional shares of common stock of New GTY held by the holder of the eCivis Redeemable Share. Additionally, if the eCivis Redeemable Shares are not earlier redeemed, New GTY will issue to the holder of eCivis Redeemable Shares on each of the first and second anniversaries of the closing of the Business Combination, a number of shares of common stock of New GTY equal to 40% of the (i) the dollar amount equal to (A) the number of eCivis Redeemable Shares that have not been redeemed on such anniversary multiplied by (B) $10.00 divided by (ii) the VWAP as of such anniversary. The eCivis Redeemable Shares are subject to a 90-day lock-up period.

 

On February 12, 2019, the Company entered into agreements with certain shareholders of Open Counter (the “Open Counter Shareholder Agreements”) whereby such shareholders waived their right pursuant to the Open Counter Agreement to receive an aggregate of $1,000,000 in cash payments at the closing of the Business Combination and, in consideration therefor, agreed to receive 100,000 shares of New GTY common stock which consists of New GTY common stock which shall be redeemable at any time within seven days of the closing of the Business Combination in the sole discretion of New GTY for a promissory note bearing interest equal to 8% per annum in the first month after issuance and 10.0% per annum thereafter (subject to an increase of 1% for each additional 6 months that elapse without full payment of such note(s)). Interest on the promissory note shall be payable semi-annually in cash.

 

 

 

 

On February 12, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with a Questica shareholder (the “Questica Shareholder Agreement”) whereby such shareholder waived his right pursuant to the Questica Agreement to receive $5,000,000 in cash payments at the closing of the Business Combination and, in consideration therefor, agreed to receive 500,000 shares of a new class of shares of Questica Exchangeco which may be redeemable at the sole discretion of Questica Exchangeco at any time for the initial redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The Questica Exchangeco shares will entitle the shareholder to a dividend of 5.0% per annum for the first sixty days following the closing of the Business Combination (the “Base Dividend”); provided, however, that if the shares have not been redeemed as of the 61st day following the Business Combination, the Base Dividend shall increase to 10.0% per annum, compounding quarterly. Following the 61st day after the Business Combination, the Questica shareholder may, at any time, retract the Questica Exchangeco shares for an amount of New GTY common stock equal to $5,000,000, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, divided by the lessor of (i) ten dollars ($10.00) and (ii) the 5-Day VWAP, calculated as of the date of the retraction. In the event that the Company seeks to redeem the new class of shares of Questica Exchangeco after the 61 st day following the Closing, the holders of those shares of Questica Exchangeco may, at their election, exercise their retraction rights instead. The 500,000 shares of Questica Exchangeco are subject to a six-month lock-up period.

 

On February 12, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with a Sherpa shareholder (the “Sherpa Shareholder Agreement”) whereby such shareholder waived his right under the Sherpa Agreement to receive $1,000,000 in cash payments at the closing of the Business Combination and, in consideration therefor, agreed to receive 100,000 shares of Common Stock of New GTY which are redeemable at any time in the sole discretion of New GTY for a promissory note bearing interest equal to 5.5% per annum in the first year subsequent to issuance and 8.0% per annum thereafter.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the CityBase Amendment, the eCivis Shareholder Agreements, the Open Counter Shareholder Agreements, the Questica Shareholder Agreement and the Sherpa Shareholder Agreement (together, the “Target Agreements”) do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the terms and conditions of the agreements, copies or forms of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 2.1 to 2.5 and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Subscription Agreements  

 

During the period from February 8, 2019 through February 12, 2019, the Company entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain institutional investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which such Investors have agreed to purchase, immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination, an aggregate of 1,800,000 Class A Shares at a price of  $10.00 per share, or an aggregate cash purchase price of  $18,000,000, subject to certain conditions, including all conditions precedent to the closing of the Business Combination having been satisfied or waived, in a private placement.

In addition, the Sponsor will sell 500,000 private placement warrants of the Company to certain of the Investors for an aggregate purchase price of $250,000.

 

The foregoing description of the Subscription Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the form of Subscription Agreement previously filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K (File No. 001-37931) on February 5, 2019, which is incorporated by reference herein.

  

On February 13, 2019, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with Michael Duffy, the chief executive officer of CityBase (the “Duffy Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which Mr. Duffy agreed to purchase, immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination, an aggregate of 267,037 Class A Shares at a price of  $10.00 per share, or an aggregate cash purchase price of  $2,670,000, subject to certain conditions, including all conditions precedent to the closing of the Business Combination having been satisfied or waived, in a private placement. Pursuant to the Duffy Subscription Agreement, the shares of New GTY that Mr. Duffy will be entitled to receive in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination will have the same terms as the CityBase Redeemable Shares. The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Duffy Subscription Agreement which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

After giving effect to the Subscription Agreements and the Duffy Subscription Agreement described in this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company has entered into agreements with institutional and accredited investors for the purchase of an aggregate of 12,901,919 Class A Shares of the Company at a price of $10.00 per ordinary share, or an aggregate cash purchase price of $129,019,190 (the “PIPE Proceeds”), subject to certain conditions, including all conditions precedent to the closing of the Business Combination having been satisfied or waived, in a private placement.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

Agreements and Arrangements with Certain Institutional Investors

 

On February 13, 2019, the Company, the Sponsor, William D. Green, Joseph M. Tucci and Harry L. You (Messrs. Green, Tucci and You, collectively, the “Founders”) entered into agreements and arrangements with certain institutional investors pursuant to which a total of 1,500,000 Class A Shares will not be redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. An aggregate of 500,000 of such shares are subject to a lock-up pursuant to which such shares may not be transferred until the 91st day following the closing of the Business Combination without the consent of the Company and the Founders, and the holder of such shares is entitled to put such shares to the Sponsor and the Founders following the lock-up period for a purchase price equal to the price at which the Company redeems Class A Shares in connection with the Business Combination (the “redemption price”), payment of which purchase price is guaranteed by the Company, and to receive from the Company a cash payment, if and to the extent necessary, but not to exceed $250,000, in order to provide such shareholder with at least a 5% return on such shares above the redemption price. With respect to 1,000,000 of such shares, the Company engaged a broker-dealer to facilitate the purchase of such shares by an institutional investor prior to the closing of the Business Combination for $9.90 per share and agreed to pay such broker-dealer an amount in cash equal to the difference between the redemption price and $9.90. In addition, the Sponsor and the Founders expect to enter into agreements prior to the closing of the Business Combination pursuant to which they will be obligated to reimburse the holder of 1,554,361 Class A Shares that are not redeemed in connection with the Business Combination (which amount may be increased by 388,590 shares) for losses that may be incurred upon the sale of such shares within a specified period following the closing, up to an agreed-upon limit, and the Company expects to be required to guarantee such reimbursement obligation.

 

Extraordinary Meetings

 

As disclosed in the Explanatory Note above, as a result of the agreements and arrangements described in this Current Report on Form 8-K, the PIPE Proceeds and the amount of cash presently available in the trust account, net of redemptions, the Company expects that all conditions to the closing of the Business Combination will be satisfied or waived as of the closing.

This adjournment is intended to give the Company’s shareholders and public warrant holders additional time to consider the agreements and arrangements described hereunder. The Company has extended the deadline for holders of its Class A Shares to submit such shares for redemption in connection with the Business Combination until 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on February 14, 2019.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K and the Exhibits hereto include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company’s and each Target’s actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the Company’s and the Targets’ expectations with respect to future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the Business Combination, the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the Business Combination and the timing of the completion of the Business Combination. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside of either the Company’s or the Targets’ control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of any of the Transaction Documents or could otherwise cause the Business Combination to fail to close; (2) the outcome of the New York and California lawsuits among the Company, OpenGov, Inc. and the other parties thereto, as well as any other legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company or a Target in connection with the Transaction Documents and the Business Combination; (3) the inability to finalize documentation with additional investors; (4) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of GTY Govtech Inc.’s common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market following the Business Combination; (5) the risk that a Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; (6) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of a Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; (7) costs related to the Business Combination; (8) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (9) the possibility that a Target or the post-combination company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (10) additional shareholder redemptions in connection with the vote to approve the Business Combination; (11) any government shutdown, such as the federal government shutdown which commenced in December 2018, which impacts the ability of the Targets’ customers to purchase the Targets’ products and services; and (12) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the proxy statement/prospectus on Form S-4 relating to the Business Combination, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and in the Company’s other filings with the SEC. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

 

No Offer or Solicitation

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the Business Combination. This Current Report on Form 8-K shall also not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

Re: Payment of Amounts under the Merger Agreement

 

Reference is made to that certain Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 28, 2018 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger dated January 8, 2019, and as further amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Merger Agreement ”), by and among eCivis Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), GTY Technology Holdings Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“ GTY ”), GTY EC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Merger Sub ”), and Kirk Fernandez, in his capacity as the eCivis Holders’ Representative. Capitalized terms used in this letter that are not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.

 

The undersigned, being a holder of eCivis Shares immediately prior to the Merger, GTY and GTY Govtech, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (“ Holdings ”), acknowledges that, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Closing the undersigned will be entitled to receive an amount of cash equal to $[ __ ] which represents the undersigned’s Pro Rata Portion of the Cash Consideration (the “ Closing Cash Payment ”). The undersigned hereby acknowledges that all representations and warranties contained in the Letter of Transmittal executed by the undersigned shall be incorporated herein by reference.

 

The undersigned hereby irrevocably waives his, her or its right to receive the full amount of the Closing Cash Payment and agrees to receive (and GTY agrees to pay and Holdings agrees to issue) in full satisfaction of GTY’s payment obligations with respect to the undersigned’s Pro Rata Portion of the Cash Consideration, (i) an amount of cash equal to $____________________ ( fill in cash amount to be received ) and (ii): [ __ ] ________________ ( fill in additional number of shares to be receive in lieu of cash assuming a price of $10.00 per share ) common shares of Holdings (the “ Redemption Shares ”) which may be redeemed by Holdings at any time in its sole discretion for the Redemption Price.

 

For each Redemption Share that Holdings redeems from the undersigned pursuant to the preceding paragraph, Holdings shall simultaneously redeem four-tenths (4/10 th ) of a common share of Holdings then held by the undersigned (such shares, the “ Additional Shares ”); provided , that the number of Additional Shares redeemed by Holdings on any date shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. By way of example only, if Holdings redeems 10,000 Redemption Shares from the undersigned at a Redemption Price of $10.00 per share, then it should simultaneously redeem 4,000 Additional Shares from the undersigned at a Redemption Price of $10.00 per share, such that the total number of shares redeemed by Holdings from the undersigned at such time shall be 14,000 and the aggregate Redemption Price for such shares shall be $140,000 (i.e., 14,000 x $10.00).

 

 

 

 

If Holdings has failed to redeem all of the Redemption Shares prior to the one-year anniversary of the Closing (the “ First Anniversary Date ”), then, on the First Anniversary Date, Holdings shall issue to the undersigned, without any further consideration, that number of common shares of Holdings equal to forty percent (40%) of (i) the dollar amount equal to (A) the number of Redemption Shares not so redeemed as of such date multiplied by (B) $10.00 divided by (ii) the 30-Day VWAP as of the First Anniversary Date. Furthermore, if Holdings has still failed to redeem all of the Redemption Shares prior to the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “ Second Anniversary Date ”), then, on the Second Anniversary Date, Holdings shall issue to the undersigned, without any further consideration, an additional number of common shares of Holdings equal to forty percent (40%) of (x) the dollar amount equal to (A) the number of Redemption Shares not so redeemed as of such date multiplied by (B) $10.00 divided by (y) the 30-Day VWAP as of the Second Anniversary Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holdings shall only be required to issue common shares pursuant to this paragraph to the extent that, at such time, there are authorized common shares of Holdings that have not been issued or reserved for other purposes; provided , however , that Holdings must at all times reserve at least 5,000,000 common shares (subject to stock splits, combinations and the like) for the issuance of common shares pursuant to this paragraph.

 

As used herein, the “ Redemption Price ” means, on the applicable date of redemption, a per share price equal to (i) the 30-Day VWAP as of the applicable date of redemption (the “ Redemption Date VWAP ”) plus (ii) an amount equal (A) to 5% of the Redemption Date VWAP multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed from the Closing Date until the applicable date of redemption, and the denominator of which is 365.

 

The parties agree that the Redemption Shares shall be subject to the eCivis Holder Lockup Agreement executed by the undersigned; provided that solely with respect to the Redemption Shares, paragraph number 2 of such eCivis Holder Lockup Agreement shall be deemed to read in its entirety as follows:

 

The undersigned shall not Transfer any Holdings Shares (the “ Holdings Shares Lock-Up ”) until the earlier of (a) ninety (90) days after the Closing and (b) the date on which GTY completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of GTY’s shareholders having the right to exchange Holdings Shares for cash, securities or other property.

Exhibit 10.1

 

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

 

GTY Technology Holdings Inc.

1180 North Town Center Drive, Suite 100

Las Vegas, Nevada 89144

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

GTY Technology Holdings Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“ GTY ”), has entered into agreements (collectively, the “ Business Combination Agreements ”) for a business combination (the “ Business Combination ”) with CityBase, Inc., Bonfire Interactive Ltd., eCivis Inc., Open Counter Enterprises Inc., Questica Inc. and Questica USCDN Inc. and Sherpa Government Solutions LLC (collectively, the “ Targets ”). In connection with the Business Combination, GTY is seeking commitments from interested investors to purchase Class A ordinary shares of GTY, par value $0.0001 per share (including any shares in any successor entity issued in exchange therefor in connection with the Business Combination “ Class A Ordinary Shares ”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, in a private placement (the “ Private Placement ”). The undersigned wishes to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares in such private placement on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and, accordingly, the undersigned and GTY hereby agree as follows:

 

1.                   Subscription . The undersigned hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from GTY, and GTY agrees to issue and sell to the undersigned, such number of Class A Ordinary Shares as is set forth on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement (the “ Subscribed Shares ”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

 

2.                   Acknowledgement of Business Combination . The undersigned acknowledges that in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, GTY will merge with and into GTY Technology Merger Sub, Inc. (“ GTY Merger Sub ”), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of GTY Govtech, Inc. (“ Holdings ”), with GTY surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings (the “ GTY Merger ”) and, in connection therewith, all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of GTY, including the Subscribed Shares, will be exchanged for an equal number of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Holdings (the “ Holdings Shares ”). As a result of the GTY Merger and related transactions the undersigned will cease to own the Subscribed Shares and will own an equal number of Holdings Shares (“ Subscriber’s Holdings Shares ”).

 

3.                   Redemption of Holdings Shares .

 

     (a)              For a period of ninety (90) days following the consummation of the Business Combination (the “ Redemption Period ”), Holdings shall have the right at any time during such period, to redeem any or all of Subscriber’s Holdings Shares. Any such redemption shall occur on a date set by the board of directors of Holdings (the “ Redemption Date ”). Holdings shall not redeem, repurchase or acquire any shares of Holdings common stock issued in connection with the other Business Combination Agreements for an aggregate price in excess of $5,000,000, unless Holdings contemporaneously repurchases all of Subscriber’s Holdings Shares pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 

     (b)             On the Redemption Date, Holdings shall effect any such redemption by delivering a promissory note, in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto, for an aggregate principal amount equal to (1) the number of Holdings Shares owned by the undersigned multiplied by (2) the sum of (a) $10.00, plus (b) any accrued but unpaid dividends for such Holdings Shares on such Redemption Date (the “ Redemption Note ”). The Redemption Note shall initially be delivered to the Exchange Agent (as defined in the Business Combination Agreements) on the Redemption Date. At such time, if any, as the Holdings Shares are held of record by the nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”), the Redemption Note shall be delivered to DTC on the Redemption Date.

 

     (c)              Holdings shall give notice of any redemption by mail, postage prepaid, not less than 10 days and not more than 15 days before the scheduled Redemption Date to the undersigned (as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day next preceding the day on which notice is given) as the undersigned’s name appears on the books of the Exchange Agent and at the address of the undersigned shown therein. Such notice (the “ Redemption Notice ”) shall state: (1) the Redemption Date, (2) the Redemption Price, and (3) the place where the Holdings Shares are redeemable or to be redeemed, as applicable, and shall be presented and surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price.

 

     

 

 

     (d)             If Holdings gives a Redemption Notice, Holdings shall deliver to the Exchange Agent the Redemption Note sufficient to redeem the Holdings Shares as to which such Redemption Notice shall have been given no later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date, and shall give the Exchange Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to deliver the Redemption Note to the undersigned, with respect to such applicable Holdings Shares to be redeemed upon surrender or deemed surrender (which shall occur automatically if the Holdings Shares are held in book-entry form by the Exchange Agent or if the certificate representing such Holdings Shares is issued in the name of DTC or its nominee) of the certificates therefor as set forth in the Redemption Notice.

 

     (e)              Any Holdings Shares that are redeemed by Holdings shall be canceled.

EXHIBIT A

 

FORM OF PROMISSORY NOTE

 

 

 

 

UNSECURED Promissory Note

 

$[__]   _____________,20[19]

 

In consideration for the redemption of [ _______ ] common shares of GTY GovTech, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation, (“ GTY ”), GTY promises to pay to [_______] (“ Equityholder ”) the principal amount of [_______] Dollars ($[_______]) 1 , together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Unsecured Promissory Note (this “ Note ”).

 

1.        Terms of Payment . On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, GTY shall pay the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of such payment, on [ __ ], 20[19] 2 (the “ Maturity Date ”). All such principal amounts that remain outstanding and unpaid from time to time are herein referred to as the “Outstanding Principal Balance”.

 

2.        Interest Rates and Payments .

 

(a)      The Outstanding Principal Balance, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.

 

(b)     Interest shall accrue on the Outstanding Principal Balance from and after the date hereof at a rate of eight percent (8.0%) per annum (the “ Interest Rate ”), compounding annually; provided, however, if the Outstanding Principal Balance and accrued and unpaid interest is not fully paid on the Maturity Date, then to the extent permitted by law, interest will accrue on the Outstanding Principal Balance from the Maturity Date until payment in full at a rate of ten percent (10.0%) per annum (the “ Default Rate ”), compounding annually, and, without limiting any of the Equityholder’s other rights or remedies hereunder, GTY will pay accrued and unpaid interest to the Equityholder every six months following the Maturity Date. The Default Rate will increase by an additional 100 basis points (i.e. 1.0%) for each six-month period that the Outstanding Principal Balance and any accrued and unpaid interest is not fully paid following the Maturity Date.

 

(c)      GTY may prepay the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note (and any accrued and unpaid interest on this Note) from time to time and at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty.

 

3.        Computation; Order of Application .

 

(a)      Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance will be calculated daily on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. All interest rate determinations and calculations by the Equityholder are conclusive and binding, absent manifest error.

 

(b)       All payments and prepayments by GTY shall be applied first, to the payment of any fees or charges outstanding hereunder; second, to accrued but unpaid interest; and third, to the Outstanding Principal Balance until all amounts due under this Note are paid in full.

 

 

 

1 To be an amount equal to $10.00 per share.

 

2 Date to be six months from the date of issuance.

 

     

 

 

4.        Default; Remedies . If a Default exists hereunder, the Equityholder may declare the entire Outstanding Principal Balance and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, immediately due and payable, whereupon it shall be due and payable, and/or proceed to protect and enforce any other legal or equitable right or remedy of the Equityholder; provided that in the case of a Default under Section 4(c), the entire Outstanding Principal Balance and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall become automatically due and payable without any action by the Equityholder. The occurrence of any one or more of the following shall constitute an “ Default ”:

 

(a)      GTY fails to pay timely any of the principal amount due under this Note on the date the same becomes due and payable, or any accrued interest or any other amount when due;

 

(b)      GTY breaches in any material respect any covenant, obligation, or agreement contained in this Note, other than as specified in Section 4(a), and GTY does not cure such default within 10 days after written notice thereof to GTY;

 

(c)       

(i) GTY commences any case, proceeding, or other action (A) under any existing or future law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other relief of debtors, seeking to have an order for relief entered with respect to it, or seeking to adjudicate it as bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding-up, liquidation, dissolution, composition, or other relief with respect to it or its debts or (B) seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, conservator, or other similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its assets, or GTY makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;

 

(ii) there is commenced against GTY any case, proceeding, or other action of a nature referred to in Section 4(c)(i) which (A) results in the entry of an order for relief or any such adjudication or appointment or (B) remains undismissed, undischarged, or unbonded for a period of 30 days;

 

(iii) there is commenced against GTY any case, proceeding, or other action seeking issuance of a warrant of attachment, execution, or similar process against all or any substantial part of its assets which results in the entry of an order for any such relief which has not been vacated, discharged, or stayed or bonded pending appeal within 30 days from the entry thereof;

 

(iv) GTY takes any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any of the acts set forth in Section 4(c)(i), Section 4(c)(ii), or Section 4(c)(iiii); or

 

(v) GTY is generally not, or shall be unable to, or admits in writing its inability to, pay its debts as they become due;

 

(d)     GTY fails to pay when due any of its indebtedness having an aggregate principal of at least $250,000 (other than indebtedness arising under this Note), or any interest or premium thereon, when due (whether by scheduled maturity, acceleration, demand, or otherwise) and such failure continues after the applicable grace period, if any, specified in the agreement or instrument relating to such indebtedness; or

 

(e)     one or more judgments or decrees shall be entered against GTY in an aggregate amount of at least $250,000 and all of such judgments or decrees shall not have been vacated, discharged, or stayed or bonded pending appeal within 30 days from the entry thereof.

The rights, duties, and obligations of the parties hereto inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns.
