Exhibit 99
$500,000 June 1, 2010
THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED
CONVERTIBLE TERM NOTE
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC., an Arizona corporation (the
"Maker"), hereby promises to pay to ComVest Capital LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company ("ComVest"), or registered assigns (hereinafter, collectively
with ComVest, the "Payee"), the sum of Five Hundred Thousand ($500,000) Dollars
(the "Principal"), with interest thereon, on the terms and conditions set forth
herein and in the Loan Agreement dated as of September 28, 2006 by and between
the Maker and ComVest (as amended from time to time, the "Loan Agreement").
Terms defined in the Loan Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meanings assigned thereto in the Loan Agreement.
Payments of principal of, interest on and any other amounts with respect to
this Convertible Term Note (this "Note") are to be made in lawful money of the
United States of America.
Principal and accrued interest of this Note may be convertible into common
stock of the Maker as provided in Section 3 below.
1. Payments.
(a) Interest. This Note shall bear interest ("Interest") on Principal
amounts outstanding from time to time at the rate of twelve (12%) percent per
annum; provided, however, that during the continuance of any Event of Default
under the Loan Agreement, the interest rate hereunder shall be increased to
fifteen (15%) percent per annum. All Interest shall be computed on the daily
unpaid Principal balance of this Note based on a three hundred sixty (360) day
year, and shall be payable monthly in arrears on the fifth (5th) day of each
calendar month commencing June 5, 2010, and upon the final maturity of this
Note.
(b) Principal. The outstanding Principal of this Note shall be payable in
(i) four (4) equal monthly installments of $100,000 each due and payable on the
first day of each calendar month commencing August 1, 2010 through and including
November 1, 2010, and (ii) a final installment due and payable on December 1,
2010 in an amount equal to the entire remaining Principal balance of this Note.
(c) Non-Business Day. If any scheduled payment date as aforesaid is not a
business day in either the State of Florida or the State of Arizona, then the
payment to be made on such scheduled payment date shall be due and payable on
the next succeeding business day, with additional interest on any Principal
amount so delayed for the period of such delay.
2. Prepayment.
(a) Optional Prepayment of Principal. The Maker shall have the right, at
any time and from time to time upon three (3) Business Days' prior written
notice to the Payee, to prepay, without premium or penalty, all or any portion
of the Principal of this Note. Any such prepayment shall be accompanied by
payment of all unpaid accrued Interest on the Principal amount being prepaid. At
all time prior to the date fixed for prepayment, and thereafter until the
prepayment is actually made, the Payee may, at its option, elect to convert
under Section 3 below all or any portion of the Principal amount to be prepaid.
(b) Mandatory Prepayments of Principal. The entire Principal balance of
this Note, and all accrued and unpaid Interest hereunder, (i) shall be required
to be prepaid upon the consummation of any Sale, and (ii) may be required to be
prepaid upon the occurrence of any Event of Default.
(c) Application of Payments. Any and all prepayments hereunder shall be
applied first to unpaid accrued Interest on the Principal amount being prepaid,
and then to Principal. Any and all prepayments of Principal hereunder shall be
applied to the installments under Section 1(b) above in the direct order of
their maturity, and any and all prepayments which are deemed to occur by reason
of partial conversions of Principal pursuant to Section 3 below may, at the
option of the Payee, be applied to such installments in direct or inverse order
of maturity (and, absent specific election by the Payee prior to the subject
conversion, the Principal amount converted shall be applied to the installments
in direct order of maturity).
3. Conversion.
(a) Optional Conversion. The Payee may, at its option, upon written notice
to the Maker given at any time and from time to time, convert all or any portion
of the unpaid Principal balance of this Note, and/or any accrued Interest
thereon, into shares of common stock of the Maker ("Common Stock"), at a price
of $0.24 per share of Common Stock (as same may be adjusted from time to time in
accordance herewith, the "Conversion Price"). The date on which the Maker
receives a conversion election is herein referred to as the "Conversion Date."
To the extent that the Principal of this Note is converted only in part, then
such conversion shall be treated as a prepayment of the Principal amount
converted in accordance with Section 2(c) above.
(b) Mechanics of Conversion. Upon notice to the Maker of the Payee's
conversion election as provided in Section 3(a), the Maker shall, in accordance
with Section 3(c), issue to the Payee (or to the Payee's designee(s) set forth
in the Payee's conversion election) the number of shares of Common Stock to
which the Payee shall be entitled upon such conversion, and shall deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Payee or such designee(s) the certificates
representing such shares of Common Stock. All shares of Common Stock issued or
delivered upon any conversion hereunder shall, when issued or delivered, be duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. In lieu of any
fractional shares to which the Payee would otherwise be entitled, the Maker
shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the per share Conversion
Price.
(c) Issuance of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Within a reasonable time, not
exceeding five (5) Business Days after the Conversion Date, the Maker shall
deliver or cause to be delivered, to or upon the written order of the Payee of
this Note so converted, certificates representing the number of fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock into which this Note has been converted in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 3. If so requested by the Maker,
the Payee shall, within a reasonable time (not exceeding five (5) Business Days
after receipt by the Payee of such certificates), surrender this Note to the
Maker for cancellation, against delivery of a replacement Note representing the
remaining balance (if any) of this Note which has not been converted. Subject to
the following provisions of this Section 3, such conversion shall be deemed to
have occurred on the Conversion Date, so that the Payee or the Payee's
designee(s) shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder
of such shares of Common Stock at such time.
2
(d) Taxes on Conversion. The issuance of certificates for shares for Common
Stock upon the conversion of this Note shall be made without charge by the Maker
to the converting Payee for any tax in respect of the issuance of such
certificates and such certificates shall be issued in the name of, or in such
names as may be directed by, the Payee; provided, however, that the Maker shall
not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the issuance or delivery of any such certificate in a name other
than that of the Payee, and the Maker shall not be required to issue or deliver
such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance
thereof shall have paid to the Maker the amount of any such tax or shall have
established to the satisfaction of the Maker that any such tax has been paid.
(e) Adjustment of Shares.
(i) Stock Dividends, Distributions or Subdivisions. In the event that,
at any time and from time to time from and after the date of this Note, the
Maker shall issue additional shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible
into Common Stock) in a stock dividend, stock distribution or subdivision paid
with respect to Common Stock, or declare any dividend or other distribution
payable in additional shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into
Common Stock) or effect a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, then, concurrently with the effectiveness of such stock dividend,
stock distribution or subdivision, the then-effective Conversion Price shall be
proportionately decreased, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of this Note shall thus be proportionately increased.
(ii)Combinations or Consolidations. In the event that, at any time and
from time to time from and after the date of this Note, the outstanding shares
of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or
otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then, concurrently
with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, the then-effective
Conversion Price shall be proportionately increased, and the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall thus be proportionately
decreased.
(iii)Other Dividends or Distributions. If the Maker, at any time or
from time to time after the issuance of this Note, makes a distribution to the
holders of Common Stock which is payable in securities of the Maker other than
Common Stock, then, in each such event, provision shall be made so that the
Payee shall receive upon conversion of this Note, in addition to the number of
shares of Common Stock, the amount of such securities of the Maker which would
have been received if the portion of this Note so converted had been exercised
for Common Stock on the date of such event, subject to adjustments subsequent to
the date of such event with respect to such distributed securities which shall
be on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided in
this Section 3(e)(iii) and all other adjustments under this Section 3(e).
Nothing contained in this Section 3(e)(iii) shall be deemed to permit the
payment of any distribution in violation of the Loan Agreement.
3
(iv) Merger, Consolidation or Exchange. If, at any time or from time
to time after the date of this Note, there occurs any merger, consolidation,
arrangement or statutory share exchange of the Maker with or into any other
person or entity, then, in each such event, provision shall be made so that the
Payee shall receive upon conversion of this Note the kind and amount of shares
and other securities and property (including cash) which would have been
received upon such merger, consolidation, arrangement or statutory share
exchange by the Payee if the portion of this Note so converted had been
converted into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such merger,
consolidation, arrangement or statutory share exchange, subject to adjustments
for events subsequent to the effective date of such merger, consolidation,
arrangement or statutory share exchange with respect to such shares and other
securities which shall be on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the
adjustments provided in this Section 3(e)(iv) and all other adjustments under
this Section 3(e). Nothing contained in this Section 3(e)(iv) shall be deemed to
permit any such transaction in violation of the Loan Agreement.
(v) Recapitalization or Reclassification. If, at any time or from time
to time after the date of this Note, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of this Note are changed into the same or a different number of
securities of any class of the Maker, whether by recapitalization,
reclassification or otherwise (other than a merger, consolidation, arrangement
or statutory share exchange provided for elsewhere in this Section 3(e)), then,
in each such event, provision shall be made so that the Payee shall receive upon
conversion of this Note the kind and amount of securities or other property
which would have been received in connection with such recapitalization,
reclassification or other change by the Payee if the portion of this Note so
converted had been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization,
reclassification or change, subject to adjustments for events subsequent to the
effective date of such recapitalization, reclassification or other change with
respect to such securities which shall be on terms as nearly equivalent as
practicable to the adjustments provided in this Section 3(e)(v) and all other
adjustments under this Section 3(e).
(vi) Extraordinary Dividends or Distributions. If, at any time or from
time to time after the date of this Note, the Maker shall declare a dividend or
any other distribution upon the Common Stock payable otherwise than out of
current earnings, retained earnings or earned surplus and otherwise than in
shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
such declaration shall be reduced by an amount equal, in the case of a dividend
or distribution in cash, to the amount thereof payable per share of Common Stock
or, in the case of any other dividend or distribution, to the value thereof per
share of Common Stock at the time such dividend or distribution was declared, as
determined by the Board of Directors of the Maker in good faith. Such reductions
shall take effect as of the date on which a record is taken for the purposes of
the subject dividend or distribution, or, if a record is not taken, the date as
of which the holders of record of Common Stock entitled to such dividend or
distribution are to be determined. Nothing contained in this Section 3(e)(vi)
shall be deemed to permit the payment of any dividend or distribution in
violation of the Loan Agreement.
4
(vii) Certificate of Adjustment. Whenever the Conversion Price and/or
the number of shares of Common Stock receivable upon conversion of this Note is
adjusted, the Maker shall promptly deliver to the Payee a certificate of
adjustment, setting forth the Conversion Price and/or shares of Common Stock
issuable after adjustment, a brief statement of the facts requiring the
adjustment and the computation by which the adjustment was made. The certificate
of adjustment shall be prima facie evidence of the correctness of the
adjustment.
(viii) Successive Application. The provisions of this Section 3(e)
shall be applicable successively to each event described herein which may occur
subsequent to the date of this Note and prior to the conversion in full of this
Note. (ix) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be
issuable by reason of any adjustments made pursuant to this Section 3(e); and in
lieu of any such fractional shares, the Maker shall pay cash therefor in
accordance with Section 3(b) above.
(f) No Impairment. The Maker will not, by amendment of its Organic
Documents or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be
observed or performed hereunder but will at all times in good faith assist in
the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 3 and in the taking of
all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the
conversion rights of the Payee against impairment. In the event of any merger or
consolidation in which the Maker is not the surviving entity, the Maker shall
make appropriate arrangements in order that, upon any subsequent conversion of
this Note, the Payee shall become entitled to receive the same securities or
other consideration that the Payee would have received had such conversion been
made immediately prior to the consummation of such merger or consolidation,
subject to further adjustments, of the type provided in this Note, with respect
to any events relating to any such securities occurring subsequent to the
consummation of such merger or consolidation.
(g) Common Stock Reserved. The Maker shall at all times reserve and keep
available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock such number of shares
of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the full
conversion of this Note into Common Stock.
4. Events of Default. The occurrence or existence of an Event of Default
under the Loan Agreement shall constitute a default under this Note and shall
entitle the Payee to accelerate the entire indebtedness hereunder and take such
other action as may be provided for in the Loan Agreement and/or in any and all
other instruments evidencing and/or securing the indebtedness under this Note,
or as may be provided under the law.
5. Assignment. This Note shall be binding upon and shall inure to the
benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties
hereto, provided that the Maker may not assign any of its rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Payee.
5
6. Waiver and Amendment. No waiver of a right in any instance shall
constitute a continuing waiver of successive rights, and any one waiver shall
govern only the particular matters waived. Neither any provision of this Note
nor any performance hereunder may be amended or waived except pursuant to an
agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement thereof is
sought. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Note, the Maker hereby
waives diligence, demand, presentment for payment, protest, dishonor,
nonpayment, default, notice of any and all of the foregoing, and any other
notice or action otherwise required to be given or taken under the law in
connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, enforcement or
collection of this Note, and expressly agrees that this Note, or any payment
hereunder, may be extended, modified or subordinated (by forbearance or
otherwise) from time to time, without in any way affecting the liability of the
Maker. The Maker further waives the benefit of any exemption under the homestead
exemption laws, if any, or any other exemption, appraisal or insolvency laws,
and consents that the Payee may release or surrender, exchange or substitute any
personal property or other collateral security now held or which may hereafter
be held as security for the payment of this Note.
7. Governing Law. This Note shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent superseded
by Federal enactments.
8. Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. The Maker hereby consents
to the jurisdiction of all courts of the State of New York and the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York, as well as to the
jurisdiction of all courts from which an appeal may be taken from such courts,
for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or with
respect to this Note. The Maker hereby waives the right to interpose any
counterclaims (other than compulsory counterclaims) in any action brought by the
Payee hereunder, provided that this waiver shall not preclude the Maker from
pursuing any such claims by means of separate proceedings. THE MAKER HEREBY
EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL OBJECTIONS WHICH IT MAY HAVE AS TO VENUE IN ANY OF
SUCH COURTS, AND ALSO WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH SUIT,
ACTION OR PROCEEDING. The Payee may file a copy of this Note as evidence of the
foregoing waiver of right to jury trial.
6
9. Usury Savings Clause. All agreements between the Maker and the Payee are
hereby expressly limited to provide that in no contingency or event whatsoever,
whether by reason of acceleration of maturity of the indebtedness evidenced
hereby or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Payee for
the use, forbearance or detention of the indebtedness evidenced hereby exceed
the maximum amount which the Payee is permitted to receive under applicable law.
If, from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of
the Loan Agreement or any Loan Document thereunder, at the time performance of
such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity
prescribed by law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall
automatically be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any
circumstance the Payee shall ever receive as interest an amount which would
exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest
shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of any of the Maker's
Obligations (as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement) to the Payee, and
not to the payment of interest hereunder. To the extent permitted by applicable
law, all sums paid or agreed to be paid for the use, forbearance or detention of
the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be amortized, prorated, allocated
and spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full,
to the end that the rate or amount of interest on account of such indebtedness
does not exceed any applicable usury ceiling. As used herein, the term
"applicable law" shall mean the law in effect as of the date hereof, provided,
however, that in the event there is a change in the law which results in a
higher permissible rate of interest, then this Note shall be governed by such
new law as of its effective date. This provision shall control every other
provision of all agreements between the Maker and
the Payee.
10. Collection Costs. In the event that the Payee shall place this Note in
the hands of an attorney for collection during the continuance of any Event of
Default, the Maker shall further be liable to the Payee for all costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) which may be incurred by the
Payee in enforcing this Note, all of which costs and expenses shall be
obligations under and part of this Note; and the Payee may take judgment for all
such amounts in addition to all other sums due hereunder.
11. Effect on Prior Note. This Note amends, restates and supersedes in its
entirety the Second Amended and Restated Convertible Term Note dated December
30, 2009 in the original principal amount of $850,000 issued by the Maker to
ComVest, provided that this Note does not effect a novation of the outstanding
obligations under such prior Term Note (all of which obligations shall
henceforth be evidenced by this Note).
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Maker has executed this Note on the date first
above written.
