DEBT	D. DEBT PRIDES CROSSING CAPITAL On May 10, 2013, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Prides Crossing Capital, L.P. and Prides Crossing Capital-A, L.P., (“Lenders”). The Loan Agreement provided for a $2.7 million, three-year term loan (the “Loan”) with interest only payments until October 1, 2014. On July 9, 2013, the Loan Agreement was amended (the “Amended Loan Agreement No. 1”) to allow the Company to repurchase 170,000 of its shares from Greenleaf Capital (“Greenleaf”) (as described in Note F) and to increase the maximum ratio of indebtedness to EBITDA from 2.25:1 to 2.60:1 for the quarters ended May 31, 2013, August 31, 2013 and November 30, 2013. In consideration for entering into the Amended Loan Agreement No. 1, the Company issued the Lenders warrants to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The warrants were to vest monthly over three years, with accelerated vesting under certain circumstances including if the Loan was repaid prior to maturity, and terminate if not exercised on or before July 9, 2020. Upon issuance, the warrants did not meet the requirements for equity classification, because such warrants provide a cash-out election allowing the holder to a one time right to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the warrants. Therefore these warrants were required to be accounted for as a liability. Changes in fair value are recognized as either a gain or loss in the consolidated statement of operations under the caption “Other income, net.” The Company determined the fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The grant date fair value of the warrants of approximately $51,000 was recorded as a liability, with a corresponding discount recorded on the debt. The debt discount is being accreted through the remaining term of the Loan Agreement using the effective interest rate method. On December 5, 2013, the Company entered into the Amended Loan Agreement No. 2 between the Company, as borrower and Prides Crossing Capital Funding, L.P., as the Lender whereby the parties agreed to amend and restate the Company’s existing $2.7 million Loan Agreement following the CADRA Sale. The Lender was the successor to Prides Crossing Capital, L.P. and Prides Crossing Capital-A, L.P., the Lenders under the Loan Agreement. Under the terms of the Amended Loan Agreement No. 2, the Company agreed to pay down the principal of the Loan from $2.7 million to $1.0 million using a portion of the proceeds from the CADRA Sale. In addition, the Company paid a pre-payment penalty of $81,000 and agreed to repurchase the outstanding warrants to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share in exchange for $19,000. The amended and restated Term Note matures on January 1, 2015 and bears an interest rate of 14% payable in arrears on a monthly basis throughout the life of the loan commencing on January 1, 2014. The Term Note may be repaid in full at any time but partial voluntary pre-payments are not allowed. The Company agreed to secure all of its obligations under the Term Note by granting the Lender a first priority security interest in all of the Company’s assets, including the Company’s intellectual property and pledges of (i) one hundred percent (100%) of the Company’s equity interests in its domestic subsidiaries and (ii) sixty-five percent (65%) of the Company’s equity interests in its foreign subsidiaries. In connection with the grant of the security interest in favor of the Lender in the Company’s intellectual property, the Company has entered into an intellectual property security agreement with the Lender and entered into a source code escrow agreement with the Lender and an independent third party. In addition, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer has provided the Lender with a personal guaranty of up to $500,000 secured by his equity interests in the Company. The Term Note contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants by the Company limiting additional indebtedness, liens, guaranties, mergers and consolidations, substantial asset sales, investments and loans, sale and leasebacks, transactions with affiliates and fundamental changes in its business. In addition, the Term Note contains financial covenants by the Company that establish (i) a month-end minimum consolidated cash balance of $1.0 million of which no less than $750,000 must be held in the Company’s main operating account that is subject to a deposit account control agreement; (ii) a minimum of $750,000 of consolidated cash at all times; (iii) a quick ratio covenant, which provides that on the last day of each fiscal quarter the ratio of the Company’s cash plus accounts receivable divided by accounts payable plus accrued expenses shall not be less than 2.7:1; and (iv) a covenant that provides that the Company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for Q3 and Q4 of fiscal 2014 shall not exceed a loss of $200,000 for each of those fiscal quarters and shall be greater than positive EBITDA of $100,000 for each subsequent fiscal quarter. The Term Note also imposes limits on capital expenditures for each fiscal year during the term of the Term Note. The Company, the Lender and First Republic Bank entered into a deposit account control agreement pursuant to which the Lender will perfect its security interest in the assets held in the Company’s main operating account at First Republic Bank. The Term Note provides for events of default customary for credit facilities of this type, including but not limited to non-payment, defaults on other debt, misrepresentation, breach of covenants, representations and warranties, insolvency and bankruptcy. Upon an event of default relating to insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership, the amounts outstanding under the Term Note will become immediately due and payable and the Lender commitment will be automatically terminated. Upon the occurrence and continuation of any other event of default, the Lender may accelerate payment of all obligations and terminate the Lender’s commitments under the Term Note. ESSIGPR On June 20, 2014, the Company entered into a promissory note agreement (the “Note”) with EssigPR, Inc. (“EssigPR”), a Puerto Rico corporation. The Note is a three (3) year borrowing arrangement with EssigPR as the lender. The promissory note is a $750,000 term loan maturing on April 1, 2017, that accrues interest at a 9.5% interest rate, paid quarterly in arrears. The principal on the Note will be paid from the deferred payments (Holdback Payment and Earn-Out Payments) due over the next three years from Mentor in connection with their purchase of the CADRA product line as described herein. The Company is responsible for ensuring that the Mentor deferred payments are sufficient for paying down the Note or, on April 1, 2017, making up for any shortfall. Mentor deferred payments in excess of amounts due under the Note revert to the Company. On October 1, 2014, the Company entered into an additional short term borrowing arrangement with EssigPR (“Short Term Note”) whereby it was agreed that the Company would retain $300,000 of the Holdback Payment due from Mentor in October 2014 rather than utilize those monies to pay down the above described Note. The interest rate on the Short Term Note is 9.5%, payable quarterly in arrears. The Short Term Note can be repaid at any time without penalty and is due in full on April 10, 2015. EssigPR was awarded 5,000 stock options to purchase SofTech common stock at $1.00 per share. The stock options will expire on October 1, 2024 if not exercised.
