The following constitutes Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 4”).  This Amendment No. 4 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
 
Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
 
The aggregate purchase price of the 13,526,205 Shares held directly by Raging Master is approximately $33,416,385, including brokerage commissions.  Such Shares were acquired with the working capital of Raging Master.
 
Raging Master effects purchases of securities primarily through margin accounts maintained for it with prime brokers, which may extend margin credit to it as and when required to open or carry positions in the margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and the prime brokers’ credit policies.  In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the accounts.
 
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
 
 
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
 
On November 14, 2016, Raging Capital and the Issuer entered into a Governance Agreement (the “Governance Agreement”) pursuant to which the Issuer and Raging Capital agreed to include in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) for election as directors at the 2017 annual meeting of stockholders of the Issuer (the “2017 Annual Meeting”) an individual to be designated by Raging Capital (the “Investor Designee”) who is approved by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, subject to its fiduciary duties, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Raging Capital agreed that it will not seek to elect more than one (1) director to the Board at the 2017 Annual Meeting or otherwise prior to the date that is thirty (30) calendar days prior to the deadline established pursuant to the Issuer’s bylaws for the submission of stockholder nominations for the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders of the Issuer.  At the 2017 Annual Meeting, Raging Capital agreed to vote all Shares of the Issuer beneficially owned by Raging Capital and entitled to be voted at the meeting in favor of the election of the director nominees, including the Investor Designee, recommended by the Board.  Raging Capital and the Issuer also agreed that Raging Capital or any of its affiliates may acquire, at their discretion, up to an additional 8 million Shares of the Issuer (the “New Shares”), in accordance with the Issuer’s insider trading policy, provided that with respect to the New Shares, at any general or special meeting of the Issuer’s stockholders, or in connection with any written consent of the Issuer’s stockholders, Raging Capital (and its affiliates, as applicable) will vote all of the New Shares entitled to be voted at the meeting or execute any applicable written consent of stockholders in the same proportion as all Shares of the Issuer other than those beneficially owned by Raging Capital or its affiliates are voted (or consented, as applicable) with respect to any matter up for stockholder vote or written consent. ‬ The foregoing description of the terms and conditions of the Governance Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Governance Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

CUSIP NO. 45882D 10 9
 
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
 
Items 5(a) and (c) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
 
(a)           The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 49,531,028 Shares outstanding as of October 28, 2016, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 2, 2016.
 
As of the filing of this Amendment No. 4, each of Raging Capital and William C. Martin may be deemed to beneficially own the 13,526,205 Shares, constituting approximately 27.3% of the Shares outstanding, held by Raging Master by virtue of their relationships with Raging Master discussed in further detail in Item 2.
 
As of the filing of this Amendment No. 4, Kenneth H. Traub did not beneficially own any Shares of the Issuer.
 
Each of the Reporting Persons, as a member of a “group” with the other Reporting Persons for purposes of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares owned by the other Reporting Persons.  The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owners of any Shares he or it does not directly own.  Each of the Reporting Persons specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares reported herein that he or it does not directly own.  Without limiting the foregoing sentence, Raging Master specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities of the Issuer held by it by virtue of its inability to vote or dispose of such securities as a result of the IMA.
 
(c)           There have been no transactions in the Shares during the past sixty days by the Reporting Persons.
 
Item 6.
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Exhibit 99.1
 
GOVERNANCE AGREEMENT
 
This GOVERNANCE AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of November 14, 2016 (the “Agreement”) by and between Intermolecular, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Raging Capital Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Investor”).  The Company and the Investor are referred to herein as the “Parties.”
 
WHEREAS, the Investor beneficially owns the number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), listed on Exhibit A to this Agreement;
 
WHEREAS, the Company and the Investor have reached an agreement with respect to certain matters related to the Investor’s acquisition of additional shares of Common Stock and the appointment of an additional director to the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) at the Company’s 2017 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2017 Annual Meeting”) and certain other matters, as provided in this Agreement; and
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
 
Section 1.               Board of Directors Matters.
 
(a)           The Investor and the Company hereby acknowledge and agree that:
 
(i)           The Company shall include in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board for election as directors at the 2017 Annual Meeting an individual designated by the Investor (the “Investor Designee”) who (A) qualifies as “independent” under the Nasdaq corporate governance standards, (B) is qualified to serve as a director under the laws of Delaware and (C) is approved by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (the “Nominating Committee”), subject to its fiduciary duties, within ten (10) business days after a completed customary director’s and officer’s questionnaire and background check has been received by the Nominating Committee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.  In the event the Nominating Committee shall decline to approve any particular individual designated by the Investor, the Investor shall have the right to propose one or more other individuals, subject to the above criteria.
 
(ii)          The Investor will ensure that the Investor Designee provides to the Company information required to be customarily disclosed with respect to directors, candidates for directors and their affiliates in a proxy statement or other filings under applicable law or stock exchange rules or listing standards, information in connection with assessing eligibility, independence and other criteria applicable to directors or satisfying compliance and legal obligations and will provide such other information as reasonably requested by the Company from time to time with respect to the Investor and the Investor Designee.
 
(iii)         To the extent an Investor Designee resigns for any reason, is unable to serve or is otherwise deemed ineligible to serve as the Investor Designee for any reason, or otherwise ceases to be a member of the Board for any reason, prior to the expiration of the initial term of the Investor Designee, the Investor shall be entitled to designate, for consideration by the Nominating Committee as a replacement for the Investor Designee, an individual who (A) qualifies as “independent” under the Nasdaq corporate governance standards and (B) is qualified to serve as a director under the laws of Delaware.  The Nominating Committee shall consider such candidate within ten (10) business days after a completed customary director’s and officer’s questionnaire and background check has been received by the Nominating Committee, and subject to the Nominating Committee’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be subject to its fiduciary duties, the Board shall appoint to the Board such candidate approved by the Nominating Committee within five (5) business days.  In the event the Nominating Committee shall decline to recommend any particular candidate designated by the Investor, the Investor shall have the right to propose one or more replacement designees, subject to the above criteria.
 
 
 

 
 
(iv)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Investor agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, seek to elect more than one (1) director to the Board at the 2017 Annual Meeting or otherwise prior to the date that is thirty (30) calendar days prior to the deadline established pursuant to the Company’s bylaws for the submission of stockholder nominations for the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders.
 
Section 2.               2017 Annual Meeting.
 
(a)           At the 2017 Annual Meeting, the Investor agrees to appear in person or by proxy and vote all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Investor and entitled to be voted at the meeting in favor of the election of the director nominees, including the Investor Designee, recommended by the Board and named in the Company’s proxy statement to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders in advance of the 2017 Annual Meeting.
 
(b)           The Investor agrees, within five (5) business days after receipt, to execute and deliver to the Company, or cause to be executed and delivered to the Company, the proxy card sent to the Investor by the Company in connection with the 2017 Annual Meeting directing that the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Investor, as of the applicable record date, be voted in accordance with Section 2(a).
 
Section 3.               Share Acquisition.
 
(a)           The Investor and the Company agree that the Investor or any of its Affiliates may acquire up to an additional 8 million shares of Common Stock (the “New Shares”), provided that (i) with respect to the New Shares, at any general or special meeting of the Company’s stockholders, or in connection with any written consent of the Company’s stockholders, the Investor (and its Affiliates, as applicable) shall vote all of the New Shares entitled to be voted at the meeting or execute any applicable written consent of stockholders in the same proportion as all shares of Common Stock other than those beneficially owned by the Investor or its Affiliates are voted (or consented, as applicable) with respect to any matter up for stockholder vote or written consent and (ii) for so long as the Investor has a representative (who is a principal or employee of the Investor or its Affiliates) on the Board, it shall comply with the Company’s insider trading policy;
