NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Loan Agreement

Effective July 1, 2012, we and our wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Deerpath Funding, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, as lender, administrative agent and collateral agent (“Deerpath”).

The Loan Agreement provides for a single advance senior secured term loan in the amount of $14,500,000, made on July 5, 2012, which was used to (i) finance the cash purchase consideration for the acquisition, (ii) pay outstanding indebtedness under the 15% subordinated promissory notes due September 2014 (including partial interest and subordination consent payments of $134,375 to Patrick Goepel, our Chief Executive Officer, and $80,625 to Pinnacle Fund, which is controlled by David Sandberg, our Chairman of the Board of Directors) and the JPMorgan Chase Bank line of credit, and (iii) pay transaction costs and expenses of the term loan and the acquisition. With the full and partial payoff of outstanding debts, the total debt remaining is $17.2million. Asure is not required to pay any cash interest until October, 2014 on the outstanding $2.7million of non-Deerpath debt.

The Loan Agreement also provides for a conditional commitment to provide additional single advance senior secured term loans from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5,000,000 to be used for refinancing certain other indebtedness, funding permitted acquisitions or other growth initiatives, and paying fees and expenses of the term loans and permitted acquisitions.

The term loan bears interest at a floating annual rate equal to LIBOR plus 8.00%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 2.00%, and requires monthly payments of interest only beginning on August 1, 2012 and quarterly principal payments of $362,500 beginning on October 1, 2012, with any remaining principal due on July 1, 2016.  We may prepay all or a portion of the principal amount outstanding at any time, subject to a premium ranging from 1% to 5% of the principal amount being prepaid depending on if the prepayment occurs on or before the first, second or third anniversary of the closing date.  The term loan requires mandatory prepayments of outstanding principal with 75% of excess cash flow (such percentage to be reduced to 50% if a specified senior debt to EBITDA ratio is achieved) and, at Deerpath’s election, with proceeds from certain events, including 100% of the net proceeds of any asset sales and issuance of equity securities.

The term loan is secured by a first priority lien on all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets and pledges of 100% of the equity interests in our domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the equity interests in our foreign subsidiaries. 

The Loan Agreement contains customary covenants, including but not limited to limitations with respect to debt, liens, mergers and acquisitions, sale of assets, loans or advances to and investments in others, dividends or other distributions, capital expenditures and management compensation. We are also required to maintain EBITDA of not less than $5.65 million beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2012, with the amount stepping up thereafter; a total debt to EBITDA ratio of not greater than 3.75 to 1.00 beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2012, with the levels stepping down thereafter; a senior debt to EBITDA ratio of not greater than 2.75 to 1.00   beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2012, with the levels stepping down thereafter; and a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 0.60 to 1.00 beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2012, with the levels stepping up thereafter. Deerpath may designate one representative to attend all meetings of our and our subsidiaries’ boards of directors as a non-voting observer.

The Loan Agreement contains customary events of default, including, among others, (i) payment defaults, (ii) covenant defaults, (iii) incorrect representations or warranties, (iv) bankruptcy and insolvency events, (v) certain cross defaults and cross accelerations, (vi) certain change of control or change of management events and (vii) certain material adverse events. In some cases, the defaults are subject to customary notice and grace period provisions.

Acquisition of Meeting Maker-United States, Inc.

Effective July 1, 2012, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Shares”) of Meeting Maker – United States, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Meeting Maker - US”), pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) by and among Meeting Maker Holding BV, a besloten vennootschap organized under the laws of the Netherlands (“Seller”), PeopleCube Holding BV, a besloten vennootschap organized under the laws of the Netherlands, and us. The Stock Purchase Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties, indemnities and covenants.

The aggregate consideration for the Shares consisted of (i) $9.8 million in cash, subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment, (ii) 255,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and (iii) an additional $3 million seller’s note that is due on October 31, 2014, subject to offset of any amounts owed by Seller under the indemnification provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement. The $9.8 million cash portion of the purchase price was funded with proceeds from the Loan Agreement. As a result of the acquisition, Meeting Maker - US became our direct wholly-owned subsidiary.
