Item 1 .0 1

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement .

 

Junior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes

 

On December 27, 2016, Determine, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Junior Secured Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with MILFAM II L.P. and Alimco Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation formerly known as Alliance Semiconductor Corporation, each an affiliate of Lloyd I. Miller, III, the Company’s largest stockholder (collectively the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold junior secured convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) to the Investors in the aggregate principal amount of $2 million.

 

The Notes are due on December 27, 2021 (the “Maturity Date”) and accrue interest at an annual rate of 10% on the aggregate unconverted and outstanding principal amount, payable quarterly, beginning on December 31, 2016. The Company has the option to pay any amounts of interest due under the Notes by compounding and adding such interest amount to the unpaid principal amount of the Notes, based on an interest rate calculated at 12% per year, provided that the Company is not then in default under the Notes, the Purchase Agreement, the Security Agreement (as defined below) or the Subordination Agreement (as defined below) (collectively, the “Loan Documents”). Upon any default under the Notes or any other Loan Document, the Notes will bear interest at the rate of 13% per year or, if less, the maximum rate allowable under the laws of the State of New York.

 

The following events constitute an event of default under the Notes: (i) failure to pay when due any obligations under the Notes, (ii) any representation or warranty of the Company under the Loan Documents being untrue in any material respect as of the date made, (iii) any breach by the Company of any covenant in the Loan Documents, after a cure period, (iv) any default under the Company’s senior credit facility with Western Alliance Bank (“Bank”) that is not cured or waived by Bank, (v) an assignment for the benefit of creditors, the admission in writing by the Company of the inability to pay its debts as they become due, and other events related to a voluntary or involuntary petition for bankruptcy, (vi) a material judgment or judgments are rendered against the Company, (vii) the seizure, levy or application of a writ or distress warrant on a material portion of the Company’s assets after a cure period, (viii) a material loss or destruction of Company assets for which there is less than 80% insurance coverage or (ix) the occurrence of any event that results in, or will likely result in, a material adverse effect on the assets, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise), business, or prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or on the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents, after a cure period.

 

Subject to applicable NASDAQ listing rule limitations (including, if applicable, approval by the Company’s stockholders), the outstanding principal and interest under the Notes may be converted into shares of common stock of the Company at the sole option of the Investors at any time prior to the Maturity Date, at a conversion price of $3.00 per share (as may be adjusted for any subdivision by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or similar event occurring prior to such record date); provided, however, that if prior to the Maturity Date the Company offers and sells share of its common stock in a private placement primarily intended to raise capital at a price per share of $2.50 or less, then the conversion price for the Notes will be reduced to such common stock offering price plus $0.50 per share. However, the total number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued to the Investors upon conversion of the Notes may not exceed 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock as of December 27, 2016.

 

The Notes may be prepaid or called by the Company prior to the Maturity Date. If the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as may be adjusted for any subdivision by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or similar event occurring prior to such record date) for ten trading days in any fifteen trading-day period, the outstanding principal and interest under the Notes may be converted into shares of common stock at the sole option of the Company at the then-current conversion price.

 

Additionally, in the event of a change of control of the Company, the Notes, at the option of the Investors, may be repaid in cash at the closing of such change of control or converted into shares of Company common stock immediately prior to the closing of such change of control at the then-current conversion price (subject to applicable NASDAQ listing rule limitations, including, if applicable, approval by the Company’s stockholders).

 

 
 

 

 

If stockholder approval of the issuance of the Notes is required under applicable NASDAQ listing rules in order for the Company to issue shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes, including in connection with the 19.99% “blocker” provision described above, the Company is obligated to call one or more meetings of the stockholders for purposes of such approval.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed not to incur any indebtedness for borrowed money in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate other than the indebtedness under the Notes, under the senior credit facility (up to a maximum amount of $14.5 million), or in connection with a purchase money security interest or trade debt arising in the ordinary course. Subject to certain exceptions, the Company also agrees not to incur any liens on any of its property or assets.

 

The Notes and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company is obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission not later than 45 days after the date of issuance of the Notes, registering for resale the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes.

 

The summary set forth above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement and the Notes filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which are incorporated by reference herein.

 

Security Agreement and Subordination Agreement

 

The Notes are secured by a second-position security interest on the Company’s assets, pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Security Agreement entered into by the Company and the Investors and existing noteholders on December 27, 2016 (the “Security Agreement”). Under the terms of the Security Agreement, the Company also agrees to grant the Investors a security interest in the Company’s subsidiaries, upon written demand from Mr. Miller at any time after the Company’s senior credit facility has been fully paid and all obligations of Bank to lend thereunder have been terminated. The Company agrees not to allow its assets to be subject to any liens or encumbrances during the term of the Security Agreement, other than certain permitted liens, including the security interests held by Bank with respect to the senior credit facility.

 

Under the terms of the Security Agreement, the Investors’ security interest is subordinated only to the senior security interest of Bank under the senior credit facility, pursuant to the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement entered into by the Company, the Investors and Bank on December 27, 2016 (the “Subordination Agreement”).

 

The summary set forth above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Security Agreement and Subordination Agreement filed as Exhibits 10.4 and 10.5 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which are incorporated by reference herein.

 

Amendment of Existing Junior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes

 

Additionally, under the terms of an Amendment to Junior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes, entered into as of December 27, 2016 (the “Prior Note Amendment”), between the Company and Mr. Miller as Lenders’ Agent, the Junior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes issued by the Company on March 11, 2015 in the aggregate principal amount of $3 million and on December 16, 2015 in the aggregate principal amount of $2.5 million (collectively, the “Prior Notes”), were amended to terminate the Company’s option to pay quarterly accrued interest by conversion into shares of common stock of the Company and to provide, instead, that the Company may elect to pay quarterly interest by compounding and adding such interest amount to the unpaid principal amount of the Notes, based on an interest rate calculated at 12% per year, provided that the Company is not then in default under the Prior Notes, the Purchase Agreements for such Prior Notes, the Security Agreement or the Subordination Agreement.

 

 
 

 

 

The Prior Notes were also amended to provide that in the event of a change of control of the Company, the Prior Notes, at the option of the holders of such Prior Notes, may be repaid in cash at the closing of such change of control or converted into shares of Company common stock immediately prior to the closing of such change of control at the then-current conversion price for such Prior Notes (subject to applicable NASDAQ listing rule limitations, including, if applicable, approval by the Company’s stockholders).

 

Further, the Prior Notes issued by the Company on December 16, 2015 were amended to reduce the conversion price to $3.00 per share (as may be adjusted for any subdivision by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or similar event occurring prior to such record date); provided, however, that if prior to the maturity date for such Prior Notes, the Company offers and sells share of its common stock in a private placement primarily intended to raise capital at a price per share of $2.50 or less, then the conversion price for such Prior Notes will be reduced to such common stock offering price plus $0.50 per share.

 

The summary set forth above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Prior Note Amendment filed as Exhibit 10.6 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Amendment to Guaranty Fee Agreements and Payment of Certain Accrued Fees

 

On December 27, 2016, the Company and Mr. Miller and the Investors (collectively, the “Guarantors”) entered into a Third Amendment to 2015 Guaranty Fee Agreement and Second Amendment to 2016 Guaranty Fee Agreement (the “Fee Amendment”), which further amended the Guaranty Fee Agreement, dated March 11, 2015 and the Guaranty Fee Agreement, dated February 3, 2016, each as previously amended (together, as previously amended, the “Prior Fee Agreements”) entered into by the Company and the Guarantors. Effective as of January 1, 2017, the Fee Amendment reduces the amount of the monthly fees accrued under the Prior Fee Agreements to the ratable monthly amount of an aggregate annual fee equal to 10% of the amounts guaranteed under the guaranties entered into by the Guarantors with Bank on March 11, 2015 and February 3, 2016.

 

Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Fee Amendment, on December 27, 2016, the Company issued 277,248 shares of Company common stock (the “Payment Shares”) to the Guarantors, at an issue price equal to approximately $1.89 per share, as payment for $524,000 of the monthly fees previously accrued under the Prior Fee Agreements. The Payment Shares are not registered under the Securities Act.

 

The summary set forth above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Fee Amendment filed as Exhibit 10.7 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated by reference herein.

 

In connection with the issuance of the Notes and the Payment Shares, the Board of Directors of the Company provided an exemption for such issuances such that they will not trigger the provisions of the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Rights Agent, dated January 2, 2009, as amended (the “Rights Agreement”). All other provisions of the Rights Agreement will otherwise remain in effect.

(v)     The consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents will not result in the alteration, loss, impairment of or restriction on the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ ownership or right to use any of the Intellectual Property or Confidential Information which is necessary for the conduct of Company’s and each of its Subsidiaries’ respective businesses as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted.

 

(vi)     The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable steps to protect the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ rights in their Intellectual Property and Confidential Information.

Except under confidentiality obligations, there has been no material disclosure of any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ Confidential Information to any third party.

 

(i)        Compliance with Laws .

All taxes and other assessments and levies that the Company or any Subsidiary is required to withhold or to collect for payment have been duly withheld and collected and paid to the proper Governmental Authority or third party when due, other than taxes being contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been made on the Company’s financial statements included in the SEC Reports. There are no tax Liens or claims pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary or any of their respective assets or property.

(l)        Rule 506 Compliance . To the Company’s knowledge, neither the Company nor any director, executive officer, other officer of the Company participating in the offering, any beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding voting equity securities, calculated on the basis of voting power, and any promoter connected with the Company in any capacity on the date hereof (each, an “ Insider ”) is subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the 1933 Act (a “ Disqualification Event ”), except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2)(i) or (d)(3) of the 1933 Act. The Company is not disqualified from relying on Rule 506 of Regulation D under the 1933 Act (“ Rule 506 ”) for any of the reasons stated in Rule 506(d) in connection with the issuance and sale of the Securities to the Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement. The Company has exercised reasonable care, including without limitation, conducting a factual inquiry that is appropriate in light of the circumstances, into whether any such disqualification under Rule 506(d) exists. The Company has furnished to each Purchaser, a reasonable time prior to the date hereof, a description in writing of any matters relating to the Company and the Insiders that would have triggered disqualification under Rule 506(d) but which occurred before September 23, 2013, in each case, in compliance with the disclosure requirements of Rule 506(e). The Company has exercised reasonable care, including without limitation, conducting a factual inquiry that is appropriate in light of the circumstances, into whether any such disqualification under Rule 506(d) would have existed and whether any disclosure is required to be made to the Purchasers under Rule 506(e). Any outstanding securities of the Company (of any kind or nature) that were issued in reliance on Rule 506 at any time on or after September 23, 2013 have been issued in compliance with Rule 506(d) and (e).

The Obligations hereunder shall convert at a conversion price equal to $3.00 per share, subject to adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization event with respect to the Company’s Common Stock (each a “ Recapitalization Event ”); provided, however , that if prior to the Maturity Date the Company offers and sells its Common Stock (or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock) in a private placement primarily intended to raise capital at a price per share of Common Stock of $2.50 or less (subject to adjustment for any Recapitalization Event), then the conversion price of the Obligations under this Note shall be reduced to such Common Stock offer price plus $0.50 per share (the applicable conversion price with respect to a conversion under this Section 6(a) hereinafter is referred to as the “ Conversion Price ”).

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6 to the contrary, the Company shall not effect the conversion of this Note, and Lender shall not have the right to convert this Note, to the extent that the aggregate number of Conversion Shares issued upon conversion of this Note and the other Notes issued under the Note Agreement (together with any other securities issued by the Company that are deemed integrated into the issuance of the Notes under the Note Agreement pursuant to applicable NASDAQ listing rules) would be in excess of 19.99% of the shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of this Note. In the event the holders of the Notes issued under the Note Agreement elect to convert the Notes pursuant to Section 6(a) , and such Notes will not be fully convertible due to the limitations set forth in this Section 6(c) , the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain stockholder approval of the issuance of the Notes in accordance with NASDAQ listing rule 5635(d) as soon as reasonably practicable, including by calling a special meeting of stockholders.

In the event the Proposal is not approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Stockholders Meeting, the Company shall take all action necessary to call up to three (3) additional meetings of its stockholders (each a “ Subsequent Stockholders Meeting ”) for the purpose of seeking approval of the Proposal, to be held promptly following the completion of the Stockholders Meeting and in no event more than one year after Lender’s request for the same, to the extent reasonably practicable. In connection with the Stockholders Meeting and, if applicable, each Subsequent Stockholders Meeting, the Company will promptly prepare and file with the SEC proxy materials (including a proxy statement and form of proxy) for use at the Stockholders Meeting and, if applicable, each Subsequent Stockholders Meeting, and, after receiving and promptly responding to any comments of the SEC thereon, shall promptly mail such proxy materials (or, if permitted, notice of the availability of such proxy materials) to the stockholders of the Company. Lender shall promptly furnish in writing to the Company such information relating to such Lender and its investment in the Company as the Company may reasonably request for inclusion in each Proxy Statement. The Company will comply with Section 14(a) of the 1934 Act and the rules promulgated thereunder in relation to any proxy statement (as amended or supplemented, each a “ Proxy Statement ”) and any form of proxy to be sent or made available to the stockholders of the Company in connection with the Stockholders Meeting or, if applicable, each Subsequent Stockholders Meeting, and each Proxy Statement shall not, on the date that such Proxy Statement (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) is first mailed or made available to stockholders or at the time of the Stockholders Meeting or any Subsequent Stockholders Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein not false or misleading, or omit to state any material fact necessary to correct any statement in any earlier communication with respect to the solicitation of proxies or the Stockholders Meeting which has become false or misleading. If the Company should discover at any time prior to the Stockholders Meeting or, if applicable, any Subsequent Stockholders Meeting, any event relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors that is required to be set forth in a supplement or amendment to the applicable Proxy Statement, in addition to the Company's obligations under the 1934 Act, the Company will promptly inform the Lender thereof.

Upon the Conversion Date, Lender shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Conversion Shares with respect to which this Note (or portion thereof) has been converted, irrespective of the date such Conversion Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Conversion Shares, as the case may be.

Whenever any payment of cash is to be made by the Company to Lender pursuant to this Note, such payment shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by, at the Company s option, a check drawn on the account of the Company and sent via overnight courier service to Lender at the address previously provided to the Company in writing (which address shall initially be the address for Lender as set forth in the Note Agreement), electronic funds transfer, or wire transfer of immediately available funds, to an account designated in writing by Lender. Whenever any payment to be made shall otherwise be due on a day which is not a business day, such payment shall be made on the immediately succeeding business day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of accrued interest.

 

17.   Excessive Interest . Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, this Note is hereby expressly limited so that the interest rate charged hereunder shall at no time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. If, for any circumstance whatsoever, the interest rate charged exceeds the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, the interest rate shall be reduced to the maximum rate permitted, and if Lender shall have received an amount that would cause the interest rate charged to be in excess of the maximum rate permitted, such amount that would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing hereunder (without charge for prepayment) and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal, such excess shall be refunded to the Company.

 

18.   Waiver of Notice . To the extent permitted by law, the Company hereby waives demand, notice, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note or the Ancillary Agreements.

5.   Use of Proceeds . The Company shall use the proceeds from this Note for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

6.   Conversion .

 

(a) Subject to applicable NASDAQ listing rule limitations (including, if applicable, approval by the Company’s stockholders), at any time following the date of this Note and up to the Maturity Date, the then outstanding Obligations under this Note (or any portion thereof) may be converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Company Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “ Conversion Shares ”), at the sole election of Lender upon written notice to the Company (the “ Conversion Notice ”), which Conversion Notice shall state the proposed effective date of such conversion (which date shall be no fewer than ten (10) business days following the date of delivery of the Conversion Notice) (the “ Conversion Date ”). The Obligations hereunder shall convert at a conversion price equal to $3.00 per share, subject to adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization event with respect to the Company’s Common Stock (each a “ Recapitalization Event ”); provided, however , that if prior to the Maturity Date the Company offers and sells its Common Stock (or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock) in a private placement primarily intended to raise capital at a price per share of Common Stock of $2.50 or less (subject to adjustment for any Recapitalization Event), then the conversion price of the Obligations under this Note shall be reduced to such Common Stock offer price plus $0.50 per share (the applicable conversion price with respect to a conversion under this Section 6(a) hereinafter is referred to as the “ Conversion Price ”).

 

(b) Notwithstanding the conversion rights set forth in Section 6(a) above, subject to applicable NASDAQ listing rule limitations (including, if applicable, approval by the Company’s stockholders), in the event that the closing bid price per share of Company Common Stock as traded on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which the Common Stock are then traded equals or exceeds $10.00 (subject to adjustment for any Recapitalization Event) for ten (10) Trading Days (as defined below) in any fifteen- (15-)Trading Day period, the then-outstanding Obligations under this Note (or any portion thereof) may be converted into Conversion Shares, at the sole election of the Company following delivery of the Conversion Notice to Lender, which Conversion Notice shall state the proposed Conversion Date (which date, for the sake of clarity, shall be no fewer than ten (10) business days following the date of delivery of the Conversion Notice) at a conversion price equal to the then-current Conversion Price.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6 to the contrary, the Company shall not effect the conversion of this Note, and Lender shall not have the right to convert this Note, to the extent that the aggregate number of Conversion Shares issued upon conversion of this Note and the other Notes issued under the Note Agreement (together with any other securities issued by the Company that are deemed integrated into the issuance of the Notes under the Note Agreement pursuant to applicable NASDAQ listing rules) would be in excess of 19.99% of the shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of this Note. In the event the holders of the Notes issued under the Note Agreement elect to convert the Notes pursuant to Section 6(a) , and such Notes will not be fully convertible due to the limitations set forth in this Section 6(c) , the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain stockholder approval of the issuance of the Notes in accordance with NASDAQ listing rule 5635(d) as soon as reasonably practicable, including by calling a special meeting of stockholders. For purposes of this Section 6(c), the terms “commercially reasonable efforts” shall include, without limitation, the obligation of the Company take all action necessary to call a meeting of its stockholders (the “ Stockholders Meeting ”), which shall occur not later than 90 days after Lender’s request for the same (the “ Stockholders Meeting Deadline ”), for the purpose of seeking approval of the Company’s stockholders for, among other things, the issuance and sale of the Conversion Shares to Lender (the “ Proposal ”). In the event the Proposal is not approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Stockholders Meeting, the Company shall take all action necessary to call up to three (3) additional meetings of its stockholders (each a “ Subsequent Stockholders Meeting ”) for the purpose of seeking approval of the Proposal, to be held promptly following the completion of the Stockholders Meeting and in no event more than one year after Lender’s request for the same, to the extent reasonably practicable. In connection with the Stockholders Meeting and, if applicable, each Subsequent Stockholders Meeting, the Company will promptly prepare and file with the SEC proxy materials (including a proxy statement and form of proxy) for use at the Stockholders Meeting and, if applicable, each Subsequent Stockholders Meeting, and, after receiving and promptly responding to any comments of the SEC thereon, shall promptly mail such proxy materials (or, if permitted, notice of the availability of such proxy materials) to the stockholders of the Company. Lender shall promptly furnish in writing to the Company such information relating to such Lender and its investment in the Company as the Company may reasonably request for inclusion in each Proxy Statement. The Company will comply with Section 14(a) of the 1934 Act and the rules promulgated thereunder in relation to any proxy statement (as amended or supplemented, each a “ Proxy Statement ”) and any form of proxy to be sent or made available to the stockholders of the Company in connection with the Stockholders Meeting or, if applicable, each Subsequent Stockholders Meeting, and each Proxy Statement shall not, on the date that such Proxy Statement (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) is first mailed or made available to stockholders or at the time of the Stockholders Meeting or any Subsequent Stockholders Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein not false or misleading, or omit to state any material fact necessary to correct any statement in any earlier communication with respect to the solicitation of proxies or the Stockholders Meeting which has become false or misleading. If the Company should discover at any time prior to the Stockholders Meeting or, if applicable, any Subsequent Stockholders Meeting, any event relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors that is required to be set forth in a supplement or amendment to the applicable Proxy Statement, in addition to the Company's obligations under the 1934 Act, the Company will promptly inform the Lender thereof.

Upon the Conversion Date, Lender shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Conversion Shares with respect to which this Note (or portion thereof) has been converted, irrespective of the date such Conversion Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Conversion Shares, as the case may be.

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT

 

This SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT, dated as of December 27, 2016 (this “Agreement”), is between each of the undersigned creditors (each, a “Creditor” and, collectively, “Creditors”), and WESTERN ALLIANCE BANK, an Arizona corporation, as successor in interest to Bridge Bank, National Association (“Lender”), with reference to the following facts:

 

R E C I T A L S

 

A.     DETERMINE, INC., a Delaware corporation formerly known as Selectica, Inc. (“Borrower”) has requested and/or obtained certain credit accommodations from Lender (as defined in the Business Financing Agreement) which are or may be from time to time secured by assets and property of Borrower. As used herein, “Business Financing Agreement” means that certain Amended and Restated Business Financing Agreement, dated as of July 25, 2014, among Borrower, Selectica Sourcing Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Lender, as amended to date and as may be further amended or restated from time to time. All initially capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Business Financing Agreement.

 

B.     Each Creditor has extended loans or other credit accommodations to Borrower, and/or may extend loans or other credit accommodations to Borrower from time to time, or Borrower may otherwise be indebted or liable to a Creditor.

 

C.     The Creditors are party to that certain Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement, dated as of December 16, 2015 (the “Prior Agreement”), with Lender, and in connection with additional financial accommodations made by the Creditors to Borrower, the parties hereto desire to amend and restate the Prior Agreement as set forth herein.

 

D.     Creditors and Borrower are entering into that certain Junior Secured Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of essentially even date herewith, pursuant to which Borrower will issue to (i) Alimco Financial Corporation (formerly known as Alliance Semiconductor Corporation) that certain Junior Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $1,000,000, and (ii) MILFAM II L.P. that certain Junior Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $1,000,000 (collectively, the “Additional Subordinated Debt”).

 

E.     In order to induce Lender to consent to the issuance of the Additional Subordinated Debt, Creditors have agreed to enter into this Second Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement.

 

F.     In order to induce Lender to continue to extend credit to Borrower 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 Borrower, or to extend credit upon any instrument or writing in respect of which Borrower 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, each Creditor is willing to subordinate: (i) all of each Borrower’s indebtedness and obligations to such Creditor, whether presently existing or arising in the future (the “Subordinated Debt”) to all of Borrower’s indebtedness and obligations to Lender now existing or hereafter arising under or in connection with the Business Financing Agreement, the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all Advances, Finance Charges, fees, interest, expenses, bank product obligations, Letter of Credit obligations, and swap obligations, together with all costs of collecting such obligations, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (the “Senior Debt”), including, without limitation, all interest, fees and other charges accruing on the Senior Debt after the commencement by or against Borrower of any Insolvency Proceeding, regardless of whether allowed in such Insolvency Proceeding; and (ii) all of each Creditor’s Liens pursuant to the Subordinated Debt, if any, in the Collateral (as defined below) to all of Lender’s Liens in the Collateral pursuant to the Senior Debt. For purposes of this Agreement, “Collateral” shall mean all the assets of Borrower, including 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, and any commercial tort claim of Borrower.

 

 
1

 

 

NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES HEREBY AMEND AND RESTATE THE PRIOR AGREEMENT AND AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

 

1.     Each Creditor subordinates any Lien that such Creditor may have in the Collateral to Lender’s Lien in the Collateral. Notwithstanding the respective dates of attachment or perfection of the Lien of each Creditor and the Lien of Lender, the Lien of Lender in the Collateral shall at all times be prior to any Lien of Creditor in the Collateral.

 

2.     All Subordinated Debt is subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Debt of Borrower to Lender.

 

3.     No Creditor will demand or receive from Borrower (and Borrower will not pay to any Creditor) all or any part of the Subordinated Debt, by way of payment, prepayment, setoff, lawsuit or otherwise, nor will any Creditor exercise any remedy with respect to the Collateral, nor will any Creditor accelerate the Subordinated Debt, or commence, or cause to commence, prosecute or participate in any administrative, legal or equitable action against Borrower, until such time as all the Senior Debt is fully paid in cash. Nothing in the foregoing paragraph shall prohibit any Creditor from converting all or any part of the Subordinated Debt into equity securities of Borrower or from refinancing the Subordinated Debt solely with the proceeds of additional Subordinated Debt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may make, and each Creditor may receive, cash payments (but no prepayments) of interest or principal when due on any outstanding Subordinated Debt if, and only if, Borrower has first demonstrated in writing to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction, that both immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such proposed payment on a pro forma basis, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or will result therefrom.

 

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

 

5.     In the event of Borrower’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 Borrower and the estate of Borrower shall be paid in full before any payment is made to Creditor.

 

6.     Until the Senior Debt is fully paid in cash, each Creditor irrevocably appoints Lender as such Creditor’s attorney-in-fact, and grants to Lender a power of attorney with full power of substitution, in the name of such Creditor or in the name of Lender, for the use and benefit of Lender, with notice to such Creditor, to perform at Lender’s option the following acts in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding involving Borrower: (i) to file the appropriate claim or claims in respect of the Subordinated Debt on behalf of such Creditor if such 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 such Creditor and to otherwise vote such Creditor’s claims in respect of any Subordinated Debt in any manner that Lender deems appropriate for the enforcement of its rights hereunder; provided that Lender shall not be entitled to release, forgive or reduce any amount owing on the Subordinated Debt and that each Creditor may receive and retain Reorganization Subordinated Securities. As used herein, “Reorganization Subordinated Securities” means (a) any equity securities issued in substitution of all or any portion of the Subordinated Debt that are subordinated in right of payment to the Senior Debt (or any notes or other securities issued in substitution of all or any portion of the Senior Debt), and (b) any notes or other debt securities issued in substitution of all or any portion of the Subordinated Debt that are subordinated to the Senior Debt (or any notes or other securities issued in substitution of all or any portion of the Senior Debt) to the same extent that the Subordinated Debt is subordinated to the Senior Debt pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, which equity or debt securities have been provided for by a plan of reorganization that has been approved by final order of a court. All Reorganization Subordinated Securities shall be on terms reasonably satisfactory to Lender, and shall constitute Subordinated Debt that is subject to the terms of this Agreement.

7.     Creditors shall have the option to purchase all Senior Debt in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7.

 

(a)     Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Triggering Event (as herein after defined), Creditors shall have the right, but not the obligation, upon 5 Business Days' advance written notice (a "Purchase Notice") to Lender, to acquire from Lender all (but not less than all) of the right, title, and interest of Lender in and to the Senior Debt and the Loan Documents; provided that Lender remains obligated to sell the Senior Debt to Creditors pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 7. As used herein, “Triggering Event” means (i) an Event of Default under Section 7.1(d) or 7.1(e) of the Business Financing Agreement, (ii) the acceleration of the Senior Debt, or (iii) the exercise due to any Event of Default of any remedies by Lender under Section 7.2 of the Financing Agreement or under any other Loan Document, including any action to foreclose on any of the Collateral (“Enforcement Action”). Lender shall give Creditors prompt notice of the occurrence of any Triggering Event described in clause (ii) or (iii) of the definition thereof set forth in the prior sentence and the amount of the Senior Debt as of the date of such Triggering Event (the "Trigger Notice").

 

(b)     Any Creditor(s) desiring to purchase all of the Senior Debt shall deliver a Purchase Notice that:

 

(i)     is signed by such Creditor(s),

 

(ii)    states that it is a Purchase Notice under this Section 7,

 

(iii)   states that such Creditor(s), acting together, are irrevocably electing to purchase all of the Senior Debt in accordance with this Section 7,

 

(iv)   designates a date (“Purchase Date”) on which the purchase will occur, that is (x) at least five but not more than fifteen Business Days after Lender's receipt of the Purchase Notice, and (y) not more than 90 days after the Triggering Event.

 

A Purchase Notice will be ineffective if it is received by Lender after the occurrence giving rise to the Triggering Event is waived, cured, or otherwise ceases to exist; provided that if a Triggering Event is waived, cured, or otherwise ceases to exist and thereafter a subsequent Triggering Event shall occur, then the procedures set forth in this Section 7 shall apply de novo.

 

(c)     After its receipt of a Purchase Notice, Lender shall forbear from exercising any Enforcement Action (except to the extent reasonably necessary to protect Lender against any loss or damage that may be occasioned by Exigent Circumstances) during the period from the date of Lender’s receipt of such Purchase Notice until the first to occur of (i) payment of the purchase price for the Senior Debt pursuant to Section 7(e)(i) below and (ii) the Purchase Date. As used herein, the term "Exigent Circumstances" shall mean the occurrence or existence of any one or more of the following events or conditions:

 

(i)     an Insolvency Proceeding is commenced by or against Borrower (other than by Lender),

 

(ii)    a fraud, concealment of assets, or material misrepresentation has been made or committed by Borrower,

 

 
3

 

 

(iii)   Borrower withholds from Lender any collections of Receivables or other proceeds of Collateral in violation of any Loan Document,

 

(iv)   a Person (other than Lender) holding a Lien upon any of the Collateral shall commence any action, suit, proceeding or self-help remedy to enforce such Lien, or

 

(v)    any other event or circumstance occurs or exists that, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, materially and imminently threatens Lender's ability promptly to realize upon all or any material part of the Collateral, such as, without limitation, fraudulent removal, concealment or abscondment thereof, destruction (to the extent not covered by insurance) or material waste of any of the Collateral.

 

(d)     Lender shall advise the purchasing Creditor(s) of the full amount of all the Senior Debt (other than indemnification obligations for which no claim or demand for payment has been made at such time, and other than Senior Debt cash collateralized in accordance with Section 7(e)(ii) below) then outstanding and unpaid on the Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Date, including interest calculated in accordance with Section 7(f) below (the "Purchase Price").

 

(e)     On the Purchase Date, Lender shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7) sell the Senior Debt and the Loan Documents to the purchasing Creditor(s), and such Creditor(s) shall:

 

(i)     pay to Lender for the ratable account of Lender, as the purchase price therefor, the Purchase Price in immediately available funds,

 

(ii)    furnish cash collateral to Lender for the ratable benefit of Issuer and Lender in such amounts as Lender determines is reasonably necessary to secure Lender, Issuer and Lender in respect of (A) any issued and outstanding Letters of Credit (but not in any event in an amount not greater than 105% of the aggregate undrawn amount of such Letters of Credit) (such cash collateral shall be applied to the reimbursement of any drawing under a Letter of Credit as and when such drawing is paid and, if a Letter of Credit expires undrawn, the cash collateral held by Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be remitted to the purchasing Creditor(s)), (B) Bank Product Obligations (including contingent obligations) existing on the date of purchase and included in Senior Debt (such cash collateral shall be applied to the reimbursement of the Bank Product Obligations as and when such obligations become due and payable and, at such time as all of the Bank Product Obligations are paid in full, the remaining cash collateral held by Lender in respect of Bank Product Obligations shall be remitted to such Creditor(s)), and (C) the Retained Interest (as defined below) to the extent that Lender has knowledge that any third party claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, investigations, liabilities, fines, costs, penalties, or damages that are the subject of the indemnification provisions of the Business Financing Agreement have then been asserted or threatened, and

 

(iii)   to the extent incurred up to the Purchase Date, reimburse Lender for all expenses to the extent earned or due and payable in accordance with the Loan Documents (including the reimbursement of reasonable attorneys' fees, financial examination expenses, and appraisal fees) up to the Purchase Date, provided that it is agreed that (A) Lender shall reimburse such Creditor(s) to the extent any such expenses are ultimately paid to Lender by Borrower and (B) Borrower shall be liable to such Creditor(s) for such expenses paid by such Creditor(s) to Lender.

 

(f)     The Purchase Price and cash collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer of federal funds to such bank account of Lender as Lender may designate in writing to the purchasing Creditor(s) for such purpose. Interest shall be calculated to but excluding the Business Day on which such purchase and sale shall occur if the amounts so paid by the purchasing Creditor(s) to the bank account designated by Lender are received in such bank account prior to 2:00 p.m., Pacific time, and interest shall be calculated to and including such Business Day if the amounts so paid by such Creditor(s) to the bank account designated by Lender are received in such bank account later than 2:00 p.m., Pacific time.

 

 
4

 

 

(g)     Such purchase shall be effected by the execution and delivery of a customary form of assignment and acceptance agreement reasonably acceptable to the purchasing Creditor(s) and Lender and shall be expressly made without representation or warranty of any kind by Lender as to the Senior Debt so purchased, or otherwise, and without recourse to Lender, except that Lender shall represent and warrant: (i) that the amount quoted by Lender as the Purchase Price represents the amount shown as owing with respect to the Senior Debt as reflected on its books and records, (ii) it owns, or has the right to transfer to the purchasing Creditor(s), the rights being transferred, and (iii) such transfer will be free and clear of Liens.

 

(h)     [Reserved].

 

(i)     In the event that the purchasing Creditor(s) exercise and consummate the purchase option set forth in this Section 7, this Agreement shall terminate (except for this Section 7(i)), but Lender shall retain its indemnification rights under the Loan Documents for actions or other matters arising on or prior to the date of such purchase, including any asserted or threatened third party claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, investigations, liabilities, fines, costs, penalties, or damages that are the subject of the indemnification provisions of the Business Financing Agreement (the "Retained Interest").

 

8.     Except as otherwise provided in Section 9(b) below, each 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 Lien that such Creditor may have in the Collateral as described in Section 1. 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, other than in an event of default thereunder.

 

9.     Borrower shall deliver to Lender true and correct copies of all instruments evidencing such Subordinated Debt bearing the conspicuous legend required by Section 8 above.

 

10.     This Agreement shall remain effective for so long as Borrower 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 Borrower), 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 each Creditor shall immediately pay over to Lender for the account of itself 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 Creditors, Lender may take such actions with respect to the Senior Debt as Lender, in its sole discretion, may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, terminating advances to Borrower, 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 securing the Senior Debt, and enforcing or failing to enforce any rights against Borrower or any other person; provided that Lender shall not increase the principal amount of the Senior Debt beyond $13,500,000, and any increase in principal beyond such amount shall not be subject to this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing proviso, no such action or inaction shall impair or otherwise affect Lender’s rights hereunder. Each Creditor waives the benefits, if any, of California Civil Code Sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2845, 2847, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433.

 

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

12.     All notices shall be given to Lender and Creditors at the addresses or faxes set forth in this Section 12 and shall be deemed to have been delivered and received: (a) one (1) calendar day after deposit with an overnight mail or messenger service; or (b) on the same date of confirmed transmission if sent by hand delivery, telecopy, telefax or telex.

(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.

 

 
7

 

 

(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.

 

16.     This Agreement represents the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and commitments. Creditors are not relying on any representations by Lender or Borrower in entering into this Agreement, and each Creditor has kept and will continue to keep itself fully apprised of the financial and other condition of Borrower; provided, however, that, as of the date hereof, to the knowledge of each of Lender and Borrower, no default, event of default or Triggering Event exists with respect to the Senior Debt. This Agreement may be amended only by written instrument signed by the party asserted to be bound thereby.

 

17.     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.

 

18.     Lender and Creditors hereby agree that, effective upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by each such party, the terms and provisions of the Prior Agreement shall be and hereby are amended, restated and superseded in their entirety by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the obligations of Creditors outstanding under the Prior Agreement, which obligations shall remain in full force and effect, except to the extent that the terms thereof are modified hereby or by instruments executed concurrently herewith. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement shall be construed as a release or other discharge of Creditors from any of their obligations or liabilities under the Prior Agreement.

This Amendment to Junior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (this “ Amendment ”) is made and entered into as of December 27, 2016, by and between Determine, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and Lloyd I. Miller, III (the “ Lenders’ Agent ” and, together with the Company, the “ Parties ”). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Existing Notes (as defined below).

 

Recitals

 

A.      The Parties previously entered into the (i) Junior Secured Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 11, 2015, pursuant to which the Company sold to certain Lenders Junior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $3 million, which promissory notes were amended by the Second Purchase Agreement (as defined in this Recital A) (the “ March 2015 Notes ”) and (ii) Junior Secured Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 16, 2016 (the “ Second Purchase Agreement ”), pursuant to which the Company sold to certain Lenders Junior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2.5 million (the “ December 2015 Notes ” and, collectively with the March 2015 Notes, the “ Existing Notes ”).

 

B.      Certain of the Lenders have agreed to make certain additional loans to the Company pursuant to a Junior Secured Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 27, 2016, by and among the Company and such Lenders.

 

C.      In order to induce such Lenders to make such additional loans to the Company, the Company and the Lenders’ Agent desire to amend the Existing Notes, as more fully set forth below.

 

D.      Pursuant to Section 11 of the Existing Notes, any provision of the Existing Notes may be amended, waived or modified with the written consent of the Company and the Lenders’ Agent, which such amendment, waiver or modification shall be binding upon the Company and all Lenders.

 

Agreement

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth herein, and for other consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

 

 

1.

Amendment to December 2015 Notes .

 

(a)     Section 1(b) of each December 2015 Note is hereby amended to add the following paragraph at the end of Section 1(b):

 

“Notwithstanding the foregoing, beginning with the first quarterly interest payment due on December 31, 2016, and continuing until the Maturity Date, the PIK Right described above shall be of no further force and effect and shall be superseded by the following provisions: Provided the Company is not then in default pursuant to this Note or any other Loan Document, upon each quarterly interest payment date on and after December 31, 2016, the Company may elect to pay the accrued interest due on such date by capitalizing, compounding and adding to the unpaid Principal Amount the amount of interest accrued such quarter (“ PIK Interest ”); provided, however , that any such PIK Interest shall be deemed to have accrued at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum simple interest (computed on the basis of actual days elapsed and a fiscal year of 364 days). Amounts representing PIK Interest shall be treated as Principal Amount for all purposes under this Note and the Loan Documents and shall bear interest in accordance with this Section 1. The obligation of the Company to pay all such PIK Interest so added shall be automatically evidenced by this Note. The PIK Interest election shall be made by the Company by written notice to Lender on or prior to the date such interest payment is due.”

 

 

 

 

(b)     Section 6(a) of each of the December 2015 Notes is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

“(a) Subject to applicable NASDAQ listing rule limitations (including, if applicable, approval by the Company’s stockholders), at any time following the date of this Note and up to the Maturity Date, the then outstanding Obligations under this Note (or any portion thereof) may be converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Company Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “ Conversion Shares ”), at the sole election of Lender upon written notice to the Company (the “ Conversion Notice ”), which Conversion Notice shall state the proposed effective date of such conversion (which date shall be no fewer than ten (10) business days following the date of delivery of the Conversion Notice) (the “ Conversion Date ”). The Obligations hereunder shall convert at a conversion price equal to $3.00 per share, subject to adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization event with respect to the Company’s Common Stock (each a “ Recapitalization Event ”); provided, however , that if prior to the Maturity Date the Company offers and sells its Common Stock (or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock) in a private placement primarily intended to raise capital at a price per share of Common Stock of $2.50 or less (subject to adjustment for any Recapitalization Event), then the conversion price of the Obligations under this Note shall be reduced to such Common Stock offer price plus $0.50 per share (the applicable conversion price with respect to a conversion under this Section 6(a) hereinafter is referred to as the “ Conversion Price ”).”

 

(c)     A new Section 19 is hereby added to each December 2015 Note, as follows:

 

“19.      Change of Control . In the event of a Change of Control occurring prior to the repayment or conversion of the Obligations under this Note pursuant to its terms, this Note, including all Obligations hereunder, shall be, at the option of Lender, either (i) repaid in cash as of the closing of such Change of Control or, (ii) subject to applicable NASDAQ listing rule limitations (including, if applicable, approval by the Company’s stockholders), converted into Conversion Shares at the then-current Conversion Price, to be issued to Lender immediately prior to the closing of such Change of Control. The Company shall provide at least 20 business days’ notice to Lender of the closing of a Change of Control.”

 

“‘ Change of Control ’ means (i) a direct or indirect merger or consolidation of the Company into or with another entity after which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction do not own, immediately following the consummation of the transaction by virtue of their shares in the Company or securities received in exchange for such shares in connection with the transaction, a majority of the voting power of the surviving entity in proportions substantially similar to those that existed immediately prior to such transaction, (ii) the direct or indirect sale, transfer or issuance by the Company, or the sale or transfer by stockholders of the Company, in a transaction or series of related transactions, to a person or “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and Rule 13D thereunder, in either case, as a result of which more than 50% of the voting power of the Company is beneficially owned by such person or group , and (iii) the direct or indirect sale, transfer or other disposition (but not including a transfer or disposition by pledge or mortgage to a bona fide lender) of all or substantially all of the assets or intellectual property of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not be deemed a Change of Control: a merger effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company.”

2.

Amendment to March 2015 Notes .

 

(a)     Section 1(b) of each March 2015 Note is hereby amended to add the following paragraph at the end of Section 1(b):

 

“Notwithstanding the foregoing, beginning with the first quarterly interest payment due on December 11, 2016, and continuing until the Maturity Date, the PIK Right described above shall be of no further force and effect and shall be superseded by the following provisions: Provided the Company is not then in default pursuant to this Note or any other Loan Document, upon each quarterly interest payment date on and after December 11, 2016, the Company may elect to pay the accrued interest due on such date by capitalizing, compounding and adding to the unpaid Principal Amount the amount of interest accrued such quarter (“ PIK Interest ); provided, however , that any such PIK Interest shall be deemed to have accrued at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum simple interest (computed on the basis of actual days elapsed and a fiscal year of 364 days). Amounts representing PIK Interest shall be treated as Principal Amount for all purposes under this Note and the Loan Documents and shall bear interest in accordance with this Section 1 . The obligation of the Company to pay all such PIK Interest so added shall be automatically evidenced by this Note. The PIK Interest election shall be made by the Company by written notice to Lender on or prior to the date such interest payment is due.”

 

(b)     A new Section 19 is hereby added to each March 2015 Note, as follows::

 

“19.      Change of Control . In the event of a Change of Control occurring prior to the repayment or conversion of the Obligations under this Note pursuant to its terms, this Note, including all Obligations hereunder, shall be, at the option of Lender, either (i) repaid in cash as of the closing of such Change of Control or, (ii) subject to applicable NASDAQ listing rule limitations (including, if applicable, approval by the Company’s stockholders), converted into Conversion Shares at the then-current Conversion Price, to be issued to Lender immediately prior to the closing of such Change of Control. The Company shall provide at least 20 business days’ notice to Lender of the closing of a Change of Control.”

 

“‘ Change of Control ’ means (i) a direct or indirect merger or consolidation of the Company into or with another entity after which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction do not own, immediately following the consummation of the transaction by virtue of their shares in the Company or securities received in exchange for such shares in connection with the transaction, a majority of the voting power of the surviving entity in proportions substantially similar to those that existed immediately prior to such transaction, (ii) the direct or indirect sale, transfer or issuance by the Company, or the sale or transfer by stockholders of the Company, in a transaction or series of related transactions, to a person or “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and Rule 13D thereunder, in either case, as a result of which more than 50% of the voting power of the Company is beneficially owned by such person or group , and (iii) the direct or indirect sale, transfer or other disposition (but not including a transfer or disposition by pledge or mortgage to a bona fide lender) of all or substantially all of the assets or intellectual property of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not be deemed a Change of Control: a merger effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company.”

 

 
3

 

 

3.      Continuing Effect . Except as expressly amended hereby, all terms and conditions of the Existing Notes shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply to this Amendment; provided, however , that the Lenders’ Agent acknowledges and agrees that this Amendment will have effect with respect to the interest payments due on December 11, 2016 and December 31, 2016 under the March 2015 Notes and December 2015 Notes, respectively, even if the effective date of this Amendment is after one or both such interest payment due dates.

 

4.      Governing Law . This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws.

 

5.      Counterparts; Facsimile . This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

SECOND AMENDMENT TO 2016 GUARANTY FEE AGREEMENT

 

This Third Amendment to 2015 Guaranty Fee Agreement and Second Amendment to 2016 Guaranty Fee Agreement (this “ Amendment ”), dated as of December 27, 2016 (the “ Amendment Date ”), is entered into by and among each of Determine, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), Lloyd I. Miller, III (“ Mr. Miller ”), MILFAM II L.P. (“ MILFAM ”) and Alimco Financial Corporation (formerly known as Alliance Semiconductor Corporation) (“ ALF C ” and, together with Mr. Miller and MILFAM, the “ Guarantors ”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Fee Agreements (as defined below).

 

The Company, Mr. Miller and MILFAM are parties to the Guaranty Fee Agreement, effective as of March 11, 2015, as amended by Amendment to Guaranty Fee Agreement, effective as of February 3, 2016, and as amended by Second Amendment to 2015 Guaranty Fee Agreement and Amendment to 2016 Guaranty Fee Agreement, dated as of April 22, 2016 (as amended, the “ 2015 Fee Agreement ”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay certain fees to Mr. Miller and MILFAM in exchange for the debt Guaranties provided by Mr. Miller and MILFAM contemplated thereunder.

 

The Company and ALFC are parties to the Guaranty Fee Agreement, dated as of February 3, 2016, as amended by Second Amendment to 2015 Guaranty Fee Agreement and Amendment to 2016 Guaranty Fee Agreement, dated as of April 22, 2016 (as amended, the “ 2016 Fee Agreement ” and, together with the 2015 Fee Agreement, the “ Fee Agreements ”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay certain fees to ALFC in exchange for the debt Guaranty provided by ALFC contemplated thereunder.

 

Certain of the Guarantors have agreed to guarantee additional borrowed amounts under the credit facility provided to the Company by Western Alliance Bank, as successor in interest to Bridge Bank, National Association, and in connection with such additional guaranty, the Company and the Guarantors desire to amend the Fee Agreements and pay certain accrued fees thereunder with shares of Company stock, as more fully set forth in this Amendment.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, the Company and the Guarantors hereby agree as follows:

 

1.      Amendment of 2015 Fee Agreement Monthly Fee . Section 1(b) of the 2015 Fee Agreement is hereby further amended to include the following paragraph at the end of Section 1(b):

 

“Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective on January 1, 2017, for the remaining term of this Agreement, the Monthly Fee shall equal (i) 10% of the Guaranteed Amount divided by (ii) 12. The aggregate amount of the unpaid Monthly Fees shall be payable in cash on the Payment Date. The Monthly Fees shall accrue, without interest, on the first business day of each month during the term of this Agreement.”

 

2.      Amendment of 2016 Fee Agreement Monthly Fee . Section 1(b)(iii) of the 2016 Fee Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

The aggregate amount of the unpaid Monthly Fees shall be payable in cash on the Payment Date. The applicable Monthly Fees shall accrue, without interest, on the first business day of each month during the term of this Agreement.”

 

 
1

 

 

3.      Payment Shares .

 

a.      Payment of Certain Accrued Fee s . The Company and the Guarantors agree that, effective upon the Amendment Date, $524,000 (the “ Payment Amount ”) of the Monthly Fees previously accrued under the Fee Agreements, as amended hereby, is hereby paid and satisfied in full by the issuance to the Guarantors of 277,248 fully paid and nonassessable shares of Company common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “ Payment Shares ”). The Payment Shares shall be issued to the Guarantors in such amounts as set forth on Exhibit A to this Amendment. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Amendment Date, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver certificates to the Guarantors, registered in such name or names as the Guarantors may designate, representing the Payment Shares. The Guarantors hereby waive any notice period under the Fee Agreements in connection with the payment of the Payment Amount with the Payment Shares.

 

b.      Representations and Warranties of the Guarantors . Each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:

 

i.      Organization and Existence . Such Guarantor, if such Guarantor is an entity, is a validly existing corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company and has all requisite corporate, partnership or limited liability company power and authority, and if such Guarantor is a natural person, all requisite power and authority, to invest in the Payment Shares pursuant to this Amendment.

 

ii.     Authorization . The execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of this Amendment has been duly authorized and will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability, relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally.

 

iii.    Purchase Entirely for Own Account . The Payment Shares to be received by such Guarantor hereunder will be acquired for such Guarantor’s own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act 1933, as amended (the “ 1933 Act ”), and such Guarantor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of the 1933 Act, without prejudice, however, to such Guarantor’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Payment Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by such Guarantor to hold the Payment Shares for any period of time. Neither such Guarantor nor any affiliate of such Guarantor is a broker-dealer registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or an entity engaged in a business that would require it to be so registered.

 

iv.    Investment Experience . Such Guarantor acknowledges that it can bear the economic risk and complete loss of its investment in the Payment Shares and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment contemplated hereby.

 

v.     Restricted Securities . Such Guarantor understands that the Payment Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the 1933 Act only in certain limited circumstances.

 

 
2

 

 

vi.    Legends . It is understood that certificates evidencing the Payment Shares may bear the following or any similar legend:

 

“The securities represented hereby have not been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or the securities commission of any state in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and, accordingly, may not be transferred unless (i) such securities have been registered for sale pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (ii) such securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to it that such transfer may lawfully be made without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.”

 

If required by the authorities of any state in connection with the issuance of sale of the Payment Shares, the legend required by such state authority.

 

vii.   Accredited Investor . Such Guarantor is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, as amended, under the 1933 Act, as amended by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

 

4.      Miscellaneous .

 

a.      Effect on Fee Agreements . Except as amended hereby, the 2015 Fee Agreement and the 2016 Fee Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. For the avoidance of doubt, all previously accrued Monthly Fees and other amounts in excess of the Payment Amount continue to be outstanding and payable by the Company pursuant to the Fee Agreements.

 

b.      Further Instruments . The parties agree to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this Amendment and to effect the issuance of the Payment Shares.

 

c.      Notice . All notices and communications required or permitted hereunder shall be given as set forth in the Fee Agreements.

 

d.      Successors and Assigns . This Amendment, and the obligations and rights of the parties hereunder, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties’ respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

 

e.      Governing Law . This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws of any jurisdiction).

 

f.      Entire Agreement . This Amendment, along with the Fee Agreements (as amended hereby), shall constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof, and any and all other written or oral agreements existing between the parties hereto are expressly canceled.

 

g.      Counterparts . This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to constitute one instrument.
