Omnibus Fifteenth Amendment to Credit Agreement and Seventeenth Amendment to Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement
On April 6, 2016, the Company, the Companys subsidiaries C Acquisition Corp., Accurel Systems International Corporation and IMX Acquisition Corp. (collectively, the Guarantors), DMRJ Group LLC (DMRJ) and Montsant Partners LLC (the Assignee) agreed to enter into an Omnibus Fourteenth Amendment to Credit Agreement and Sixteenth Amendment to Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, effective as of March 30, 2016 (the Fourteenth Amendment), subject to certain conditions and post-closing effectiveness conditions, to extend the maturity date of the Companys obligations to DMRJ and the Assignee and change other various elements of the Companys credit arrangements with DMRJ and the Assignee, including the removal of the blocker provision that limits the conversion by DMRJ and the Assignee of their convertible secured promissory notes into common stock to 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company at any one time. However, despite the best efforts of the Company, DMRJ and the Assignee, certain post-closing effectiveness conditions to the Fourteenth Amendment with respect to the delivery of an opinion of counsel and payment of the fees and expenses of DMRJ and the Assignee were not satisfied, and the Fourteenth Amendment was, therefore, never deemed effective, resulting in the Company being in default of its obligations to DMRJ and the Assignee since March 31, 2016.
On July 20, 2016, the Company, the Companys subsidiaries C Acquisition Corp., Accurel Systems International Corporation and IMX Acquisition Corp. (collectively, the Guarantors), DMRJ Group LLC (DMRJ) and Montsant Partners LLC (the Assignee) agreed to enter into an Omnibus Fifteenth Amendment to Credit Agreement and Seventeenth Amendment to Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement Amendment), effective as of June 30, 2016, pursuant to which:

the maturity of all of the Companys indebtedness to DMRJ under (i) the amended and restated senior secured convertible promissory note, dated March 12, 2009 (as amended, the March 2009 Note), (ii) the senior secured promissory note dated July 1, 2009 (as amended, the July 2009 Note), (iii) the credit agreement dated September 4, 2009 (as amended, the September 2009 Credit Agreement), (iv) the senior secured convertible promissory note, dated September 5, 2012 (as amended, the September 2012 Note), and (v) the senior secured convertible promissory note, dated February 28, 2013 (as amended, the February 2013 Note) were each extended to October 31, 2016;
·
the blocker provisions of the March 2009 Note held by the Assignee, limiting the number of shares of Common Stock, to be issued upon the conversion of such notes, when aggregated with the all other shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holders of such notes at that time, to 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock outstanding at such time, were confirmed as never having been deleted by the Fourteenth Amendment and an identical blocker provision was added to the September 2012 Note held by DMRJ;
·
the conversion and anti-dilution provisions of the February 2013 Note held by DMRJ were deleted in their entirety, and the conversion provisions of the September 2012 Note were limited to an aggregate total of $7,000,000 in obligations thereunder;
·
the conversion price for the September 2012 Note was reduced from $1.09 to $0.19 per share for up to $7,000,000 of the obligations thereunder, DMRJ agreed to convert $7,000,000 of the principal under the September 2012 Note prior to the consummation of the Zapata Acquisition, and the remaining conversion rights under the September 2012 Note and the February 2013 Note were waived;
·
the Company agreed to amend the Companys Series H Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series H Preferred Stock), Series I Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series I Preferred Stock) and Series J Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series J Preferred Stock and together with the Series H Preferred Stock and the Series I Preferred Stock, the Amended Preferred Stock Series) to correct and amend and reinsert the 4.99% blocker provisions in lieu and in replacement of the similar provision that was added in the
Articles of Amendment to the Restated Articles of Organization that was filed on July 18, 2016, as more fully described below under the heading Amendments to Preferred Stock;
·
in connection with the Zapata Acquisition, the Company agreed, subject to the approval of its stockholders, to (i) re-domesticate from Massachusetts to Delaware and (ii) amend its Articles of Organization to increase its authorized share capital to 650,000,000 shares of Common Stock;
·
the Company agreed to issue to DMRJ the Warrant as described below under the heading Issuance of Warrant;
·
DMRJ and the Assignee waived any defaults from the failure of the effectiveness of the Fourteenth Amendment; and
·
the Guarantors acknowledged and reconfirmed their respective obligations as guarantors of the Companys obligations under the Notes and the Companys other related credit documents.
Pursuant to its terms, the maturity of the Companys indebtedness to certain investors under the Note Purchase Agreement, dated March 19, 2014, as amended, between the Company, the Guarantors, the investors named therein and BAM Administrative Services LLC, as administrative agent for the investors thereunder, was automatically extended to October 30, 2016 as a result of the extension of the maturity date for the July 2009 Note and September 2009 Credit Agreement under the Purchase Agreement Amendment.
Issuance of Warrant
In connection with the loan extensions described above, on July 20, 2016, the Company issued to DMRJ a warrant (the Warrant) to purchase up to 50,657,894 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of no lower than $0.19 per share with a five-year term, first exercisable on October 31, 2016. The Warrant will terminate in the event that the Zapata Acquisition is not consummated on or prior to January 31, 2017 (including if the Companys shareholders do not approve the Zapata Acquisition or if either the Company or Zapata abandons its efforts to consummate the Zapata Acquisition prior thereto), and any shares issued under the Warrant prior to such termination will be sold by DMRJ to the Company for the exercise price paid therefor. The specific exercise price shall be the higher of: (i) $0.19 per share; and (ii) in the event the Company sells its existing business (which would not include any assets acquired by the Company in the Zapata Acquisition) on or prior to October 31, 2016, the implied price per share in such sale (excluding any Warrant shares and any shares issued in the Zapata Acquisition and, if converted prior to such time, treating the September 2012 Note as if it had not been converted).
Amendments to Preferred Stock
On July 18, 2016, in anticipation of the Purchase Agreement Amendment, the Company adopted and filed Articles of Amendment to the Restated Articles of Organization of the Company (the July 18 Preferred Stock Articles of Amendment), pursuant to which:
·
the initial conversion price of the Series H Preferred Stock was changed from $1,090 per share to $190 per share; and
·
the blocker provisions of each Amended Preferred Stock Series limiting the number of shares of the Common Stock to be issued upon the conversion of the applicable Amended Preferred Stock Series, when aggregated with the all other shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder of such Amended Preferred Stock Series at that time, to 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock outstanding at such time, which the Company purported to delete in the Articles of Amendment filed in connection with the Fourteenth Amendment, were reinserted.
As required by the Purchase Agreement Amendment, the Company adopted on July 20, 2016, and filed on July 21, 2016, Articles of Amendment to the Restated Articles of Organization of the Company (the July 21 Preferred Stock Articles of Amendment), pursuant to which:
·
each of the Amended Preferred Stock Series was corrected and amended to reinsert the blocker provisions of each Amended Preferred Stock Series limiting the number of shares of the Common Stock to be issued upon the conversion of the applicable Amended Preferred Stock Series, when aggregated with the all other shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder of such Amended Preferred Stock Series at that time, to 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock outstanding at such time, in lieu and in replacement of the similar provisions in the July 18 Preferred Stock Articles of Amendment.
