Introduction

        This Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (this "Schedule 13E-3") is being jointly filed by: (i) NetLojix Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("NetLojix") and the issuer of the equity securities that are the subject of the Rule 13e-3 transaction; (ii) NetLojix Acquisitions Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("NAC"), (iii) Anthony E. Papa, and (iv) James P. Pisani  (Mr. Pisani, together with Mr. Papa, are referred to herein as the "Executives").   The foregoing persons and entities are collectively referred to herein as the "filing persons."

        Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 28, 2002 (the "merger agreement") by and between NetLojix and NAC, NAC will merge with and into NetLojix, and NetLojix will be the surviving corporation. Upon completion of the merger contemplated by the merger agreement, each issued and outstanding share of NetLojix common stock will be converted into the right to receive $0.02 in cash without interest (the "merger consideration"), except that: (i) shares of NetLojix common stock held as treasury stock immediately prior to the effective time of the merger will be canceled without any payment therefor; (ii) shares of NetLojix common stock held by NAC or the Executives immediately prior to the effective time of the merger will be canceled without any payment therefor; and (iii) shares of NetLojix common stock held by stockholders who perfect their appraisal rights will not receive the merger consideration but instead will be subject to appraisal in accordance with Delaware law. Upon completion of the merger, the Executives, as the sole holders of NAC common stock immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, are expected to own 100% of NetLojix's post-merger common stock.  Shares of NetLojix's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will continue to be held by the two individuals who currently own such shares, although the terms of such preferred stock will be modified as part of the merger.

        Concurrently with the filing of this Schedule 13E-3, NetLojix is filing a preliminary proxy statement (the "proxy statement") pursuant to which NetLojix will notify its stockholders of, and solicit proxies from its stockholders for, a special meeting for the purpose of voting on whether or not to approve the merger agreement. The proxy statement is in preliminary form and is subject to completion or amendment.

Jensen, his father, mother, adult siblings and related charitable foundations have significant ownership in companies to which NetLojix has provided long distance and data network service, including UICI. Services are provided pursuant to NetLojix's standard term agreements. The total amount received by NetLojix pursuant to these agreements in 2001 was approximately $4,572,000.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, UICI accounted for approximately $1,900,000 of NetLojix's revenues. In July 2002, UICI terminated NetLojix as its long distance services provider. (3) On January 31, 2002, NetLojix's secured credit facility with Coast Business Credit expired, and NetLojix entered into a new secured credit facility with DTL One, LLC ("DTL"). DTL is owned and controlled by director Jeffrey J. Jensen. Under the DTL line of credit, NetLojix may borrow up to 80% of eligible receivables (as defined) up to a total amount of $2.0 million. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest, payable monthly, based upon the prime rate of Bank of America NT & SA plus 2% with a minimum interest rate of 10%. Borrowings under the credit facility are secured by substantially all assets of NetLojix. As of December 31, 2002, approximately $1.2 million was outstanding under the credit facility, and no amounts were available to be borrowed under the formula described above. DTL has indicated to NetLojix that it is likely to terminate the facility in 2003.

(3)  Subsequent to the public announcement of the Executive's proposal to acquire NetLojix, Jeffrey J. Jensen, a director of NetLojix, and his adult siblings, Jami J. Jensen and Julie J. Jensen, requested that the Executives purchase their shares of NetLojix common stock. The Executives have agreed to purchase shares from such persons.  Such purchases will take place after the filing of the proxy statement.  The price per share to be paid is equal to the merger consideration. The number of shares subject to such agreements are:  Jeffrey J. Jensen - 851,738 shares; Jami J. Jensen - 851,738 shares; and Julie J. Jensen - 851,738 shares. The agreements are between the prospective sellers and Next2 Partners, LLC, a California limited liability company owned by the Executives.  Next2 Partners, LLC has assigned its rights under the agreements to NAC.

                        Re:       Commitment to Lend

Dear Tony and Jim:

            This letter will memorialize our recent discussions regarding the commitment of DTL One, LLC ("Lender") to lend money to NetLojix Acquisitions Corporation, a corporation to be formed by the two of you ("NAC"), in connection with your acquisition of all of the outstanding common stock of NetLojix Communications, Inc. (the "Acquisition").  You expect that the Acquisition will be effected by the merger of NAC with and into NetLojix.

            Lender hereby commits to make the loan on the following terms:

  • Principal Amount.  The amount to be loaned by DTL will be $300,000.
  • Interest.  The interest rate will be the greater of Prime plus 2 percent not to exceed seven percent (7%) per annum in Year 1; not to exceed eight percent (8%) in Year 2; not to exceed nine percent (9%) in Year 3; not to exceed ten percent (10%) in Years 4 and 5.
  • Maturity.  If NAC successfully completes the Acquisition, then the Principal Amount of the loan will be combined with the balance then outstanding under Lender's Loan and Security Agreement dated January 31, 2002, with NetLojix (the "NetLojix Loan"), and the resulting amount will be amortized over a five-year period commencing on the closing date of the Acquisition.  Payment will be on a monthly basis.
  • Security.  If NAC successfully completes the Acquisition, the loan will be secured by the assets of NetLojix on the same basis as the NetLojix Loan.
  • Mandatory Prepayment in Event of Asset Sales.  If, after the closing of the Acquisition, NetLojix sells any substantial portion of its assets other then in the ordinary course of business, then one-half of the net proceeds from such asset sales will be used to prepay the loan.
  • Consent by Lender.  To the extent required by the NetLojix Loan documents, Lender will consent to the Acquisition and all related transactions.  After the closing of the Acquisition, Lender will consent to the reorganization of NetLojix from a "C" corporation into an "S" corporation or limited liability company, at your request.

 

If this letter accurately describes our agreement, please so signify by signing the enclosed copy of this letter and returning it to me.  If you have any questions concerning this letter, please call me.

 

Sincerely,

 

DTL ONE, LLC,
