Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Implant Sciences Corporation (the Company ), in connection with the bankruptcy cases (collectively, the “ Chapter 11 Case ”) filed by the Company and its subsidiaries C Acquisition Corp., Accurel Systems International Corporation and IMX Acquisition Corp. (collectively with the Company, the “ Borrowers ”), under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “ Bankruptcy Code ”) on October 10, 2016 (the “ Petition Date ”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court of the District of Delaware (the “ Bankruptcy Court ”) held an auction for the final debtor-in-possession credit financing for the Borrowers in connection with the Chapter 11 Case, and received a higher and better offer for replacement debtor-in-possession credit financing from Tannor Partners Credit Fund, LP (the “ New DIP Lender ”).  In connection with the auction, on November 7, the Borrowers terminated the Senior Secured, Super-Priority Debtor-in-Possession Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of October 10, 2016 (as amended on November 3, 2016, the “ Original DIP Agreement ”), with the original lender, DIP SPV I, L.P. (the “ Original DIP Lender ”).  The terms of the Original DIP Agreement have been previously disclosed by the Company in current reports on form 8-K filed by the Company on October 14, 2016 and November 4, 2016.  In connection with such termination, the Company paid $1,610,769.45 to the Original DIP Lender and its advisors to satisfy outstanding obligations under the Original DIP Agreement, including $74,353.95 for expense reimbursement for the Original DIP Lender’s advisors.

On November 7, 2016 (the “ Effective Date ”), the Borrowers entered into a replacement Senior Secured, Super-Priority Debtor-in-Possession Loan and Security Agreement (the “ DIP Agreement ”) with the New DIP Lender, which DIP Agreement was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on an interim basis pursuant to an order dated as of the Effective Date for the initial loan amount of $5.7 million.  Under the DIP Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the New DIP Lender agreed to lend up to a total of $8.0 million to the Borrowers, with the initial installment of $5.7 million payable upon the Bankruptcy Court entering the interim order for the DIP Agreement and the remaining $2.3 million payable upon the Bankruptcy Court entering the final order the DIP Agreement.  A hearing with respect to the final order has been scheduled before the Bankruptcy Court for November 29, 2016.  As more fully described below, the DIP Agreement is substantially identical to the Original DIP Agreement, except for the amounts of the closing fee and the exit fee.

The loans under the DIP Agreement will accrue interest of 12% per annum, and shall be subject to a default interest rate of 12% above the applicable non-default rate (i.e., an aggregate of 24% per annum) at any time when there is an event of default under the DIP Agreement.  The Borrowers have agreed in the DIP Agreement to pay fees to the New DIP Lender in an aggregate amount of 5.75% of the maximum loan amount, regardless of how long the DIP Loan was outstanding consisting of a closing fee of $35,000 at the time the initial loan is made and an exit fee upon the termination of the DIP Agreement of $425,000, minus any interest, other than default interest, paid to the New DIP Lender.   The Borrowers are also required to reimburse the New DIP Lender for its fees and expenses in connection with the DIP Agreement and the loans thereunder.  Interest on the loans and the expense reimbursement are payable monthly in arrears.

The loans under the DIP Agreement have super-priority security status and are ahead of the Borrowers’ other secured obligations owed to the investors under the Note Purchase Agreement, dated March 19, 2014, as amended, between the Borrowers, the investors named therein and BAM Administrative Services LLC, as administrative agent for the investors thereunder, and holders of the notes under each of the Credit Agreement, dated as of September 4, 2009, as amended, with DMRJ Group LLC and the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated as of December 10, 2008, as amended, with DMRJ Group LLC, and Montsant Partners LLC, as partial assignee thereof.

The loans and all other obligations are due and payable (i) upon the occurrence of an event of default that is not cured within the applicable cure periods and for which the New DIP Lender has given notice to accelerate the Borrowers’ obligations under the DIP Agreement, (ii) the entry of an order converting the Chapter 11 Case to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, (iii) the entry of an order in the Chapter 11 Case appointing a chapter 11 trustee or examiner, (iv) if the interim order for the DIP Agreement is modified at the final hearing for the DIP Agreement in a manner unacceptable to the New DIP Lender, (v) the effective date of a chapter 11 plan in the Chapter 11 Case, (vi) the approval by the Bankruptcy Court of an alternative financing transaction transferring the collateral other than the sale of the Borrowers’ assets to L-3 Communications Corporation (“ Buyer ”) under the asset






purchase agreement, dated as of October 10, 2016 (as amended, the “ Purchase Agreement ”), by and among the Borrowers and Buyer or to another winning bidder in the Bankruptcy auction process (the “ Sale ”), (vii) the date of the closing of the Sale and (viii) the first business day after the 6 month anniversary of the DIP Agreement.  The loans can be prepaid at any time and mandatory prepayments are required upon the disposition of assets outside of the ordinary course, the receipt of extraordinary receipts or the incurrence of any additional indebtedness.

The DIP Agreement contains numerous customary events of default, including without limitation:

(a)

if the Borrowers fail to pay when due and payable any principal obligations;
