Subject to the terms and conditions of this Promissory Note (this “Note”), for value received, Model N, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with any corporation or other entity which succeeds to its obligations under this Note, whether by permitted assignment, by merger or consolidation, operation of law or otherwise, “Acquirer”), with chief executive offices at 1600 Seaport Boulevard, Suite 400, Redwood City, CA 94063, hereby promises to pay to LLR Equity Partners Parallel III, L.P. (“Holder”), the original principal sum of $210,533.62 on or before the Maturity Date (as defined below), together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, due and payable on the dates and in the manner set forth below, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, including Section 3 hereof.  

This Note is part of a series of Promissory Notes having an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 (collectively, as they may be amended, restated or modified from time to time, the “Acquirer 

 



 

Tranche 1 Promissory Notes”) issued by Acquirer on even date herewith in favor of the Converting Holders (other than the Holder) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 12, 2016, by and among Acquirer, Nexus Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Acquirer, Sapphire Stripe Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and LLR Equity Partners III, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, as the Stockholders’ Agent thereunder (as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms therein, the “Merger Agreement”).  Capitalized terms used in this Note and not defined herein have the meanings given them in the Merger Agreement.  

The following is a statement of the rights of Holder and the terms and conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which the Holder hereof, by the acceptance of this Note, agrees.

17.DEFINITIONS.  The following definitions shall apply for purposes of this Note.

“Applicable Rate” means 3% per annum.

“Balance” means, at the applicable time, all then outstanding principal of this Note and all then accrued but unpaid interest, less any amount canceled in accordance with Section 3 hereof. 

“Business Day” means a day (i) other than Saturday or Sunday and (ii) on which commercial banks are open for business in San Francisco, California and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

“Indemnification Provisions” means Article X of the Merger Agreement.

“Maturity Date” means the earlier of (i) July 5, 2018, or (ii) the time at which the Balance of this Note is due and payable in full upon an Event of Default.

“Outstanding Claim” means an indemnification claim timely submitted by the Indemnified Persons pursuant to the Indemnification Provisions and which indemnification claim remains outstanding as of the Maturity Date.

“Outstanding Claim Amount” means, with respect to each Outstanding Claim, the amount of Indemnifiable Damages claimed by an Indemnified Person pursuant to such Outstanding Claim.

18.PAYMENT AT MATURITY DATE; INTEREST. 

(a)Subject to Section 3, the Balance (including all accrued and unpaid interest under this Note) shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date; provided, however, if as of the Maturity Date, there are any Outstanding Claims or an outstanding Antitrust Investigation, the Balance payable on the Maturity Date shall be reduced by:

(i)the aggregate Outstanding Claim Amount of all Outstanding Claims, if any; and

(ii)if there is an outstanding Antitrust Investigation, an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the Balance after reduction of the Outstanding Claims Amount, and (y) such Holder’s Pro Rata Share of $2,500,000.

The portion of the Balance which is not paid due to the application of Section 2(a)(i) and 2(a)(ii) shall remain outstanding and shall continue to bear interest at the Applicable Rate in the manner set forth 

 



 

in Section 2(b) until the Outstanding Claims related thereto or the Antitrust Investigation is resolved, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.  

(b)This Note shall accrue interest on the outstanding principal amount of this Note at the Applicable Rate.  Interest shall accrue for the period from and including the date hereof and continuing until the repayment of all outstanding indebtedness hereunder to Holder.  Acquirer shall pay accrued interest in cash to Holder on the last business day of each calendar year.  To the extent not paid, the accrued interest shall be compounded annually on the last business day of each calendar year, which interest shall be added to the principal amount then outstanding on the last business day of each calendar year.  Interest shall be calculated based on the actual number of days lapsed and on the basis of a 365 day year.  

(c)All payments of interest and principal on this Note shall be in lawful money of the United States of America at the address of Holder as set forth in Section 8.7 below or such other place as Holder may designate. 

(d)For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances will the outstanding principal of this Note be greater than $210,533.62, plus any unpaid compounding interest as provided in Section 2(b).

19.MERGER AGREEMENT; SET-OFF RIGHT.

19.1Merger Agreement.  Acquirer and Holder acknowledge and agree that this Note is issued in accordance with the Merger Agreement, as consideration for the shares of the Company Series A Stock held by Holder immediately prior to the Effective Time, and that this Note is issued in accordance with certain terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.  Acquirer and Holder further acknowledge and agree that, in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Note and the Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement shall control.

19.2Set-Off Right.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein but subject to the terms and conditions in the Merger Agreement, Acquirer shall have the right, on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Indemnified Person, to satisfy all or a portion of (i) the Final Shortfall due from Holder to Acquirer pursuant to Section 2.6(g) of the Merger Agreement (the “Final Shortfall Amount”), (ii) the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages which the Indemnified Persons are entitled to indemnification from Holder pursuant to the Indemnification Provisions, and (iii) the amount due to Acquirer pursuant to Section 8.4(c)(i)(B) of the Merger Agreement (the “Additional Antitrust Compensation Amount”) by reducing the Balance of this Note by an amount equal to (A) Holder’s Pro Rata Share, multiplied by (B) the amounts described in the immediately preceding clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), multiplied by (C) 50% (the “Set-Off Right”).  

(b)The Set-Off Right shall not be automatic and may only be exercised in accordance with the procedures, terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and this Note.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following shall apply:

(i)On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Acquirer may exercise the Set-Off Right in respect of the Final Shortfall Amount, if any, only after the Final Shortfall Amount has been finally determined in accordance with Section 2.6 of the Merger Agreement.  After the Final Shortfall Amount has been finally determined, Acquirer may exercise the Set-Off Right in respect of such 

 



 

Final Shortfall Amount by delivering notice to Holder of the portion of Final Shortfall Amount for which Acquirer is exercising the Set-Off Right.  Upon the delivery of such notice, the Balance shall be deemed to be reduced, automatically and without any further action on the part of Acquirer or Holder, by the amount of such Final Shortfall Amount (or, if the Balance is less than the amount of such Final Shortfall Amount, this Note shall be deemed to be canceled, automatically and without any further action on the part of Acquirer or Holder, without any present or future right to receive any consideration therefor).

(ii)On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, if an Indemnified Person is determined to be entitled to indemnification for any Indemnifiable Damages in accordance with the Indemnification Provisions, Acquirer may exercise the Set-Off Right with respect to such Indemnifiable Damages by delivering notice to Holder of the amount of such Indemnifiable Damages for which Acquirer is exercising the Set-Off Right, it being understood that the Indemnified Persons must timely comply with the notice provisions of any indemnification claim pursuant to the Indemnification Provisions and that if such indemnification claim is disputed by the Converting Holders, such indemnification claim must be resolved in accordance with the terms of the Indemnification Provisions before Acquirer may exercise the Set-Off Right in respect thereof on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person.  Upon the delivery of such notice, and subject to terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Balance shall be deemed to be reduced, automatically and without any further action on the part of Acquirer or Holder, by the amount of such Indemnifiable Damages (or, if the Balance is less than the amount of such Indemnifiable Damages, this Note shall be deemed to be canceled, automatically and without any further action on the part of Acquirer or Holder, without any present or future right to receive any consideration therefor).

(iii)On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, if an Antitrust Investigation results in an Antitrust Restraint, Acquirer may exercise the Set-Off Right with respect to the Additional Antitrust Compensation Amount by delivering notice to Holder of the resolution of such Antitrust Investigation (together with a copy of the Antitrust Restraint).  Upon the delivery of such notice, and subject to terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Balance shall be deemed to be reduced, automatically and without any further action on the part of Acquirer or Holder, by the Additional Antitrust Compensation Amount (or, if the Balance is less than the amount of the Additional Antitrust Compensation Amount, this Note shall be deemed to be canceled, automatically and without any further action on the part of Acquirer or Holder, without any present or future right to receive any consideration therefor).

20.Prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Acquirer may, in its sole discretion, elect to prepay all or any unpaid portion of this Note and the other Acquirer Tranche 1 Promissory Notes before it becomes due, without notice or penalty.  Any prepayment of this Note shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Subordination Agreement.

21.APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS.  All payments of this Note and the other Acquirer Tranche 1 Promissory Notes shall be applied:  first to accrued and unpaid interest, if any, of this Note and the other Acquirer Tranche 1 Promissory Notes, on a pro rata basis, until all then outstanding accrued interest has been paid in full, and then to the repayment of principal outstanding under this Note and the other Acquirer Tranche 1 Promissory Notes, on a pro rata basis, until all principal has been paid in full, subject to Section 3.
