Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

Acquisition of Angoss Software

On January 30, 2018, Datawatch Corporation (“Datawatch”), through its newly incorporated and wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, 2617421 ONTARIO INC. (the “Datawatch Subsidiary”), entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) for the purchase of all the outstanding capital stock of Angoss Software Corporation, a corporation existing under the laws of Ontario (“Angoss”), from the shareholders of Angoss (the “Angoss Shareholders”) for cash.

The Datawatch Subsidiary consummated the acquisition of the outstanding capital stock of Angoss on January 30, 2018 for $24,500,000 in cash, adjusted for net indebtedness and variance from target working capital. Datawatch and the Datawatch Subsidiary funded a portion of the purchase price in the acquisition with a term loan drawn under the new credit facility described below under the heading Loan Agreement.

The Purchase Agreement contains usual and customary covenants, indemnification provisions and representations and warranties that the parties to the Purchase Agreement made to each other as of specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made solely for the purposes of the Purchase Agreement between the parties, and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Purchase Agreement. Moreover, the representations and warranties are subject to a contractual standard of materiality that may be different from what may be viewed as material to Datawatch shareholders, and the representations and warranties may have been used for the purposes of allocating risk between the parties rather than establishing matters as facts.

The foregoing summary of the Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the definitive agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Form 8-K and which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The Purchase Agreement has been included to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Angoss or any of the other parties thereto. Investors should read the Purchase Agreement together with the other information concerning Datawatch and Angoss that is publicly filed in reports and statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Loan Agreement

On January 24, 2018, Datawatch entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank (“Lender”). The Loan Agreement provides for a secured term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 (the “Term Loan”), which was advanced in full on January 26, 2018, and a secured revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “Revolver” and, together with the Term Loan, the “Loans”), which Revolver was not drawn at closing. The Revolver may be used for working capital and general business purposes and the Term Loan will be used to fund a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of all the outstanding capital stock of Angoss as described above under the heading Acquisition of Angoss Software.

Beginning on March 1, 2018, Datawatch must repay the Term Loan in equal monthly installments of principal based on a 48-month amortization schedule, plus accrued interest. The principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan accrues interest at a floating per annum rate equal to 1.00% above the prime rate. All outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Term Loan is due and payable in full on January 24, 2021. Monthly interest payments associated with the Term Loan begin on February 1, 2018.

Subject to certain exceptions, Datawatch must pay a termination fee equal to 1.0% of the outstanding principal balance of the prepaid Term Loan if such prepayment occurs on or prior to January 24, 2019 or, if such prepayment occurs between January 25, 2019 and January 24, 2020, 0.50% of the outstanding principal balance of the prepaid Term Loan.

Any principal amounts outstanding from time to time under the Revolver will accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to 0.50% above the prime rate and will be due and payable on January 24, 2020. Availability under the Revolver is based on the amount of eligible accounts receivable from time to time.

Datawatch’s obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by a security interest on substantially all of its assets, excluding intellectual property.

The Loan Agreement contains customary events of default including, among others, payment defaults, breaches of covenants defaults, a materially adverse change default, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults, judgement defaults, a subsidiary cash default and inaccuracies of representations and warranties defaults. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, Lender may declare all outstanding obligations to be immediately due and payable and exercise other rights and remedies provided for under the Loan Agreement. During the existence of an event of default, interest rates on the obligations could be increased to 5.0% above the otherwise applicable interest rate.

The foregoing summary of the Loan Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the definitive agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

No material relationship exists between Datawatch, the Datawatch Subsidiary or their affiliates, on the one hand, and Angoss, the Angoss Shareholders or their affiliates, on the other hand, other than in respect of the Purchase Agreement and the other agreements and documents contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

6.3 Tax Returns

The Buyer will cause to be prepared and filed on a timely basis all Tax Returns for the Corporation and the Subsidiary for any period which ends on or before the Closing Date and for which Tax Returns have not been filed as of the Closing Date. Such Tax Returns will be prepared in accordance with the same methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the preparation of the Tax Returns for the most recent fiscal year end except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, to the extent required by a change in circumstance, or to comply with applicable law, and except that such Tax Returns shall, at the option of the Buyer, include an election pursuant to ITA 256(9) to treat the Closing Time as the time of the change of control of the Corporation. The Buyer will also cause to be prepared and filed on a timely basis all Tax Returns for the Corporation and the Subsidiary for all Straddle Periods (all these Tax Returns together with the Tax Returns referred to in the first sentence of this Section 6.3 being referred to as “Stub Period Returns”). The Securityholder Representative and the Buyer will co-operate fully with each other and make available to each other in a timely fashion all data and other information as may reasonably be required for the preparation of all Stub Period Returns and will preserve that data and other information until the expiration of any applicable limitation period for maintaining books and records under any applicable Tax Law with respect to the Stub Period Returns.

If the Securityholder Representative objects to any item on any Stub Period Return, it shall, within 5 days after delivery of such Stub Period Return, notify the Buyer in writing that it so objects, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection shall be duly delivered, the Buyer and the Securityholder Representative shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such items. If the Buyer and the Securityholder Representative are unable to reach such agreement within 5 days after receipt by the Buyer of such notice, the disputed items shall be resolved by the Independent Accountant and any determination by the Independent Accountant shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties and not subject to appeal. The Independent Accountant shall resolve any disputed items within 5 days of having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures as it may require. If the Independent Accountant is unable to resolve any disputed items before the due date for such Stub Period Return, the Stub Period Return shall be filed as prepared by Buyer and then amended to reflect the Independent Accountant’s resolution. The costs, fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne equally by the Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand. The preparation and filing of any Tax Return of the Corporation or the Subsidiary that does not relate to a pre-Closing Date Tax period shall be exclusively within the control of the Buyer. The Buyer and the Securityholder Representative will file all Tax Returns on the basis that from a tax perspective the Closing Date shall be the date upon which the acquisition of control of the Corporation occurred.

If, through the fault of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party does not receive an Indemnity Notice of an Indemnity Claim in time to effectively contest the determination of any liability capable of being contested, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to set off against the amount claimed by the Indemnified Party the amount of any Loss actually incurred by the Indemnifying Party resulting from the Indemnified Party’s failure to give an Indemnity Notice on a timely basis (including prior to the end of the thirty (30) Business Day period specified above).

- 63 - 

8.6 Procedure for Direct Claims

Following receipt of an Indemnity Notice from the Indemnified Party of a Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party will have thirty (30) Business Days to make any investigations it considers necessary or desirable. For the purpose of those investigations, the Indemnified Party will make available to the Indemnifying Party the information relied upon by the Indemnified Party to substantiate the Direct Claim, together with all other information that the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request relating to the Direct Claim, including information that the Indemnified Party may have to seek from third parties. If both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party agree at or before the expiration of that 30-Business Day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension) to the validity and amount of the Direct Claim, then the Indemnifying Party will pay immediately to the Indemnified Party the full agreed upon amount of the Loss for which the Direct Claim is made, and no subsequent proceeding will be brought concerning that Direct Claim.

8.7 Procedure for Third Party Claims

8.7.1 The Indemnified Party will promptly deliver to the Indemnifying Party copies of all correspondence, notices, assessments or other written Communication received by the Indemnified Party in respect of any Third Party Claim.

8.7.2 If the Indemnifying Party first acknowledges in writing its obligation, subject to the limits in this Article 8, to satisfy an Indemnity Claim to the extent of any binding determination or settlement in connection with a Third Party Claim (or enters into arrangements otherwise satisfactory to the Indemnified Party), in any legal or administrative proceeding in connection with the matters forming the basis of a Third Party Claim, the following will apply:

8.7.2.1 Indemnifying Party may not enter into a settlement of any Third Party Claim without the written consent (which may not unreasonably be withheld, delayed or conditioned) of the Indemnified Party unless such settlement provides the Indemnified Party with a full release from such Third Party Claim and requires no more than a monetary payment for which the Indemnified Party is fully indemnified;

- 64 - 

8.7.2.2 the Indemnifying Party will have the right by written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party within 10 Business Days of receipt by the Indemnifying Party of an Indemnity Notice, to assume carriage and control of the negotiation, defence or settlement of a Third Party Claim and the conduct of any related legal or administrative proceedings at the expense of the Indemnifying Party and by its own counsel; provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume control of such defense if (A) the Third Party Claim seeks, as the primary portion of relief sought, equitable relief or is a criminal claim, (B) the Third Party Claim has a reasonable risk of resulting in Losses that are not indemnifiable by the Indemnified Party under this Article 8 (taking into account indemnification limitations in this Article 8) from the Escrow Fund, (C) the Third Party Claim is brought by a Material Customer or Material Vendor, (D) a conflict of interest exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, or (E) after notice and opportunity to cure the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to diligently prosecute or defend such Third Party Claim;

8.7.2.3 if the Indemnifying Party elects to assume carriage and control, the Indemnified Party will have the right to participate at its own expense in the negotiation, defence or settlement of a Third Party Claim assisted by counsel of its own choosing; and

8.7.2.4 each of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party will make its best efforts to make available to the Party who has assumed carriage and control of the negotiation, defence or settlement of a Third Party Claim those employees whose assistance or evidence is necessary to assist that Party in evaluating and defending that Third Party Claim and all documents, records and other materials in the possession or control of that Party required for use in the negotiation, defence or settlement of that Third Party Claim; provided that such cooperation shall be subject to such additional limitations as the Indemnified Party may reasonably require to prevent the disruption of the Business of Indemnified Party and its Affiliates, the disclosure of any confidential or legally privileged information, and/or the disclosure or use of any personal information other than in compliance with applicable privacy laws.

8.7.3 If the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of the defense of any Third Party Claim, or the Indemnifying Party elects to assume control of such defense but does not conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim diligently and in good faith, then the Indemnified Party may defend through counsel of its own choosing and in such manner as it reasonably deems appropriate with such defense being at the Indemnifying Party’s expense if and to the extent liable under the terms of this Article 8, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to enter into a compromise or settlement thereof at its sole discretion; provided that, for greater certainty, such compromise or settlement shall not be binding on or imply any admission by the Indemnifying Party for purposes of establishing any entitlement to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement or in determining the amount of any Losses.

- 65 - 

8.7.4 In the event the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party may participate by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel and at the Indemnifying Party’s own expense in the defense of such Third Party Claim.

8.7.5 When the amount of the Loss with respect to a Third Party Claim is finally determined in accordance with this Section 8.7, subject to the provisions of this Article 8, the Indemnifying Party will immediately pay the full amount of that Loss to the Indemnified Party.

8.8 Third Party Indemnification

8.8.1 To ensure that the indemnities provided by:

8.8.1.1 the Equityholders to the Buyer Indemnitees other than the Buyer are enforceable, it is agreed by each of the Parties that the Buyer is acting as agent for the Buyer Indemnitees other than the Buyer with respect to the indemnities to be given to those other Buyer Indemnitees under this Article 8; and

8.8.1.2 the Buyer to the Seller Indemnitees are enforceable, it is agreed by the Parties that the Securityholder Representative is acting as agent for the Seller Indemnitees with respect to the indemnities intended to be given to the Equityholders and the Seller Indemnitees under this Article 8.

8.8.2 The Buyer agrees that it will hold any right to indemnification that any Buyer Indemnitee other than the Buyer is intended to have under this Article in trust for that other Buyer Indemnitee, and that funds received by the Buyer in respect of any Claims under this Article by any other Buyer Indemnitee will be held in trust for that other Buyer Indemnitee.

8.8.3 The Equityholders agree that they will hold any right to indemnification that any Seller Indemnitee is intended to have under this Article in trust for that Seller Indemnitee, and that funds received by the Equityholders or the Securityholder Representative in respect of any Claims under this Article by any Seller Indemnitee will be held in trust for that Seller Indemnitee.

8.9 Additional Provisions and Limitations re: Indemnification

8.9.1 An Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to double recovery for any indemnification claim even though such indemnification claim may have resulted from the breach of one or more representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement.

- 66 - 

8.9.2 If an Indemnified Party recovers an amount from a third party in respect of an indemnification claim after all or a portion of the Losses related thereto have been paid by an Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit to the Securityholder Representative for distribution to such Equityholders the amount recovered from such third party, up to the maximum amount paid on account of such indemnification claim.

8.9.3 Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any indemnification claims are based, in whole or in part, upon the activities or the alleged activities of the Buyer Indemnitees (other than the Corporation or the Subsidiary in respect of activities or alleged activities during the period on or before the Closing Date, unless such activities or alleged activities were taken at the instruction of the Buyer in accordance with this Agreement), then the Equityholders shall not be required to make any payments to the Buyer Indemnitees for the portion of such indemnification claim that have has resulted from such activities or the alleged activities of the Buyer Indemnitees.

8.9.4 Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way restrict or limit the general obligation at Law of an Indemnified Party to mitigate any damages which it may suffer or incur by reason of the breach by an Indemnifying Party of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Indemnifying Party or Corporation under this Agreement.

8.9.5 The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement will be (i) increased to take account of any net Tax cost incurred by the Indemnified Party arising from the receipt of indemnity payments under this Agreement, and (ii) reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit realized by the Indemnified Party arising from the incurrence or payment of that Loss, to the extent necessary to ensure that the Indemnified Party receives a net amount which, taking into account any net Tax cost or net Tax benefit, is sufficient to fully compensate for the Loss, but results in no net gain to the Indemnified Party.

8.10 Calculation of Losses

8.10.1 To the extent any Losses of an Indemnified Party are reduced by receipt of payment (a) under any insurance policy (including the R&W Policy) or (b) from third parties not affiliated with the Indemnified Party, such payments (net of any related deductible) shall be credited against such Losses and, if indemnification payments shall have been received prior to the collection of such proceeds, the Indemnified Party shall remit to the Indemnifying Party the amount by which the total amount received by the Indemnified Party in respect of such Losses (including from any such insurance policy, the Indemnifying Party or any other Person) exceeds the total amount of the Losses suffered by Indemnified Party.

8.10.2 The Party seeking indemnification shall not be entitled to any award of damages in relation to any breach of the representations and warranties given by the other Party to the extent that no actual Loss is suffered or arises and the claim for indemnification relates only to the fact that the representation or warranty is untrue, misleading or otherwise inaccurate.

- 67 - 

8.10.3 There shall be no indemnification with respect to any Indemnity Claim arising as a consequence of the retroactive effect, to any period of time prior to the Closing Date, of any applicable Laws issued, promulgated, approved or entered into on, or at any time subsequent to, the Closing Date.

8.11 Treatment of Indemnification Payments

All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Equityholder Consideration for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law, and the parties agree to file their Tax Returns consistently with such characterization.

If the other Party does not agree with the proposed Arbitrator being appointed and the Parties cannot agree on an Arbitrator within 20 Business Days following receipt of the Arbitration Notice, the Arbitrator will be appointed by a judge of the Superior Court of Justice of Ontario on the application of any Party on notice to all the other Parties. No individual will be appointed as Arbitrator unless he or she agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Article 9;

9.1.3 the law of the Province of Ontario will apply to the substance of all Disputes;

9.1.4 the arbitration will take place in the City of Toronto unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties;

9.1.5 the language to be used in the arbitration will be English;

9.1.6 the Arbitrator, after giving the Parties an opportunity to be heard, will determine the procedures for the arbitration of the Dispute, provided that those procedures will include an opportunity for written submissions and responses to written submissions by or on behalf of all Parties, and may also include an opportunity for exchange of oral argument and any other procedures as the Arbitrator considers appropriate. However, if the Parties agree on a code of procedures or on specific matters of procedure, that agreement will be binding on the Arbitrator;

9.1.7 the Arbitrator will have the right to determine all questions of law and jurisdiction, including questions as to whether a Dispute is arbitrable, and will have the right to grant legal and equitable relief including injunctive relief and the right to grant permanent and interim injunctive relief, and final and interim damages awards. The Arbitrator will also have the discretion to award costs, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, reasonable expert’s fees and expenses, reasonable witnesses’ fees and expenses pre-award and post-award interest and costs of the arbitration, provided that the Arbitrator will not make an award of costs on a distributive basis;

9.1.8 the Parties intend, and will take all reasonable action as is necessary or desirable to ensure, that there be a speedy resolution to any Dispute, and the Arbitrator will conduct the arbitration of the Dispute with a view to making a determination and order as soon as possible;

- 69 - 

9.1.9 the Parties desire that any arbitration should be conducted in strict confidence and that there will be no disclosure to any Person of the existence or any aspect of a Dispute except as is necessary for the resolution of the Dispute. Any proceedings before the Arbitrator will be attended only by those Persons whose presence, in the opinion of any Party or the Arbitrator, is reasonably necessary for the resolution of the Dispute. All matters relating to, all evidence presented to, all submissions made in the course of, and all documents produced in accordance with, an arbitration under this Article, as well as any arbitral award, will be kept confidential and will not be disclosed to any Person without the prior written consent of all the Parties except as required in connection with an application of a Party under Section 46 or Section 50 of the Arbitration Act, by applicable Laws (including, without limitation, requirements of securities Laws or stock exchange rules), or by an order of an Arbitrator; and

9.1.10 subject to Section 44 of the Arbitration Act, all awards and determinations of the Arbitrator will be final and binding on the Parties, and there will be no appeal of any such award or determination on any grounds.

9.2 Interim Relief

9.2.1 Prior to the appointment of the Arbitrator, the Parties may apply to the courts for interim relief. A request for interim relief by a Party to a court will not be considered to be incompatible with Section 9.1 or as a waiver of that provision.

Exhibit 10.1

LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of January 24, 2018 (the “Effective Date”) between SILICON VALLEY BANK, a California corporation (“Bank”), and DATAWATCH CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), provides the terms on which Bank shall lend to Borrower and Borrower shall repay Bank. The parties agree as follows:

1 ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS

Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement shall be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as explicitly set forth herein, all financial covenant and other financial calculations shall be computed with respect to Borrower on a consolidated basis with its Subsidiaries. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Section 13. All other terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meaning provided by the Code to the extent such terms are defined therein.

2 LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

2.1         Promise to Pay. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Bank the outstanding principal amount of all Credit Extensions and accrued and unpaid interest thereon as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.

2.2 Revolving Line.

(a)          Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to deduction of Reserves, Bank shall make Advances not exceeding the Availability Amount. Amounts borrowed under the Revolving Line may be repaid and, prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date, reborrowed, subject to the applicable terms and conditions precedent herein.

(b)          Termination; Repayment. The Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Line Maturity Date, when the principal amount of all Advances, the unpaid interest thereon, and all other Obligations relating to the Revolving Line shall be immediately due and payable.

2.3 Term Loan.

(a)          Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Effective Date Borrower shall request and Bank shall make one (1) term loan advance in the original principal amount of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) (the “Term Loan Advance”). After repayment, the Term Loan Advance (or any portion thereof) may not be reborrowed.

(b)          Interest Payments. Commencing on February 1, 2018 and continuing on each Payment Date thereafter, Borrower shall make monthly payments of interest, in arrears, on the principal amount of the Term Loan Advance at the rate set forth in Section 2.5(a)(ii).

(c)          Repayment. Commencing on March 1, 2018 and continuing on each Payment Date thereafter, Borrower shall repay the Term Loan Advance in (i) equal monthly installments of principal based upon a forty-eight (48) month amortization schedule, plus (ii) monthly payments of accrued interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.5(a)(ii). All outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Term Loan Advance, and all other outstanding Obligations with respect to the Term Loan Advance, are due and payable in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

(d)          Permitted Prepayment. Borrower shall have the option to prepay all or in an amount equal to fifty percent (50.0%) of the principal amount of the Term Loan Advance outstanding, provided Borrower (i) delivers written notice to Bank of its election to prepay the Term Loan Advance at least ten (10) days prior to such prepayment along with a notice of the portion of the principal amount being prepaid, and (ii) pays, on the date of such prepayment (A) the outstanding principal being prepaid (which shall either be fifty percent (50.0%) or one hundred percent (100.0%) of the principal outstanding) plus accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the Term Loan Advance, (B) the Prepayment Fee and (C) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable with respect to the Term Loan Advance, including interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts. Any partial prepayment of principal with respect to the Term Loan Advance made under this Section 2.3(d) will be applied to the principal balance of the Term Loan Advance in the inverse order of maturity.

(e)          Mandatory Prepayment Upon an Acceleration. If the Term Loan Advance is accelerated by Bank following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank an amount equal to the sum of (i) all outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the Term Loan Advance, (ii) the Prepayment Fee and (iii) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable with respect to the Term Loan Advance, including interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts.

2.4         Overadvances. If, at any time, the outstanding principal amount of any Advances exceeds the lesser of either the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank in cash the amount of such excess (such excess, the “Overadvance”). Without limiting Borrower’s obligation to repay Bank any Overadvance, Borrower agrees to pay Bank interest on the outstanding amount of any Overadvance, on demand, at a per annum rate equal to the rate that is otherwise applicable to Advances plus five percent (5.0%). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that an Overadvance results solely from a change by Bank to the Borrowing Base percentage, Borrower shall have two (2) Business Days to repay the portion of such Overadvance resulting from such change.

2.5 Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions.

(a)          Interest Rate.

(i)          Advances. Subject to Section 2.5(b), the principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Line shall accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) above the Prime Rate, which interest shall be payable monthly in accordance with Section 2.5(d) below.

(ii)         Term Loan Advance. Subject to Section 2.5(b), the principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan Advance shall accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to one percent (1.0%) above the Prime Rate, which interest shall be payable monthly in accordance with Section 2.5(d) below.

(b)          Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is five percent (5.0%) above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”). Fees and expenses which are required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Bank Expenses) but are not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to the Obligations. Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.5(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Bank.

(c)          Adjustment to Interest Rate. Changes to the interest rate of any Credit Extension based on changes to the Prime Rate shall be effective on the effective date of any change to the Prime Rate and to the extent of any such change.

(d)          Payment; Interest Computation. Interest is payable monthly on the Payment Date of each month and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. In computing interest, (i) all payments received after 12:00 p.m. Eastern time on any day shall be deemed received at the opening of business on the next Business Day, and (ii) the date of the making of any Credit Extension shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if any Credit Extension is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on such Credit Extension.

2

2.6         Fees. Borrower shall pay to Bank:

(a)          Term Loan Commitment Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable commitment fee of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00), on the Effective Date;

(b)          Revolving Line Commitment Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable commitment fee of Seventeen Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($17,500.00), on the Effective Date;

(c)          Prepayment Fee. The Prepayment Fee, when due hereunder;

(d)          Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee. Payable monthly in arrears on the last day of each calendar month occurring prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date, and on the Revolving Line Maturity Date, a fee (the “Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee”) in an amount equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum of the average unused portion of the Revolving Line, as determined by Bank, computed on the basis of a year with the applicable number of days as set forth in Section 2.5(d). The unused portion of the Revolving Line, for purposes of this calculation, shall be calculated on a calendar year basis and shall equal the difference between (i) the Revolving Line, and (ii) the average for the period of the daily closing balance of the Revolving Line outstanding; and

(e)          Bank Expenses. All Bank Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for documentation and negotiation of this Agreement) incurred through and after the Effective Date, when due (or, if no stated due date, upon demand by Bank).

Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or in a separate writing by Bank, Borrower shall not be entitled to any credit, rebate, or repayment of any fees earned by Bank pursuant to this Agreement notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or the suspension or termination of Bank’s obligation to make loans and advances hereunder. Bank may deduct amounts owing by Borrower under the clauses of this Section 2.6 pursuant to the terms of Section 2.7(c). Bank shall provide Borrower written notice of deductions made from the Designated Deposit Account pursuant to the terms of the clauses of this Section 2.6, of which Bank will endeavor to provide within five (5) days of any such deduction.

2.7 Payments; Application of Payments; Debit of Accounts.

(a)          All payments to be made by Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made in immediately available funds in Dollars, without setoff or counterclaim, before 12:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date when due. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 12:00 p.m. Eastern time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be due the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid.

(b)          Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.3(c) and (d) with respect to the Term Loan Advance, Bank has the exclusive right to determine the order and manner in which all payments with respect to the Obligations may be applied. Borrower shall have no right to specify the order or the accounts to which Bank shall allocate or apply any payments required to be made by Borrower to Bank or otherwise received by Bank under this Agreement when any such allocation or application is not specified elsewhere in this Agreement.

(c)          Bank may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts, including the Designated Deposit Account, for principal and interest payments or any other amounts Borrower owes Bank when due. These debits shall not constitute a set-off.

3

2.8         Withholding. Payments received by Bank from Borrower under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, withholdings, assessments, fees or other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority (including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto). Specifically, however, if at any time any Governmental Authority, applicable law, regulation or international agreement requires Borrower to make any withholding or deduction from any such payment or other sum payable hereunder to Bank, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that the amount due from Borrower with respect to such payment or other sum payable hereunder will be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such required withholding or deduction, Bank receives a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no withholding or deduction been required, and Borrower shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority. Borrower will, upon request, furnish Bank with proof reasonably satisfactory to Bank indicating that Borrower has made such withholding payment; provided, however, that Borrower need not make any withholding payment if the amount or validity of such withholding payment is contested in good faith by appropriate and timely proceedings and as to which payment in full is bonded or reserved against by Borrower. The agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in this Section 2.8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

4 CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST

4.1         Grant of Security Interest. Borrower hereby grants Bank, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Bank, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof.

Borrower acknowledges that it previously has entered, and/or may in the future enter, into Bank Services Agreements with Bank. Regardless of the terms of any Bank Services Agreement, Borrower agrees that any amounts Borrower owes Bank thereunder shall be deemed to be Obligations hereunder and that it is the intent of Borrower and Bank to have all such Obligations secured by the first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral granted herein (subject only to Permitted Liens that are permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to have superior priority to Bank’s Lien in this Agreement).

If this Agreement is terminated, Bank’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are repaid in full in cash. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) and at such time as Bank’s obligation to make Credit Extensions has terminated, Bank shall, at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, release its Liens in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower. In the event (x) all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations), except for Bank Services, are satisfied in full, and (y) this Agreement is terminated, Bank shall terminate the security interest granted herein upon Borrower providing cash collateral acceptable to Bank in its good faith business judgment for Bank Services, if any. In the event such Bank Services consist of outstanding Letters of Credit, Borrower shall provide to Bank cash collateral in an amount equal to (x) if such Letters of Credit are denominated in Dollars, then at least one hundred five percent (105.0%); and (y) if such Letters of Credit are denominated in a Foreign Currency, then at least one hundred ten percent (110.0%), of the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit plus all interest, fees, and costs due or to become due in connection therewith (as estimated by Bank in its business judgment), to secure all of the Obligations relating to such Letters of Credit.

4.2         Priority of Security Interest. Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that are permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to have superior priority to Bank’s Lien under this Agreement). If Borrower shall acquire a commercial tort claim in an amount in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00), Borrower shall promptly notify Bank in a writing signed by Borrower of the general details thereof and grant to Bank in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank.

4.3         Authorization to File Financing Statements. Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Bank’s interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by either Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Bank under the Code. Such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words of similar effect, or as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater detail, all in Bank’s discretion.

5 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

5.1         Due Organization, Authorization; Power and Authority. Borrower is duly existing and in good standing as a Registered Organization in its jurisdiction of formation and is qualified and licensed to do business and is in good standing in any jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business. In connection with this Agreement, Borrower has delivered to Bank a completed certificate signed by Borrower, entitled “Perfection Certificate” (the “Perfection Certificate”). Borrower represents and warrants to Bank that (a) Borrower’s exact legal name is that indicated on the Perfection Certificate and on the signature page hereof; (b) Borrower is an organization of the type and is organized in the jurisdiction set forth in the Perfection Certificate; (c) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s organizational identification number or accurately states that Borrower has none; (d) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive office as well as Borrower’s mailing address (if different than its chief executive office); (e) Borrower (and each of its predecessors) has not, in the past five (5) years, changed its jurisdiction of formation, organizational structure or type, or any organizational number assigned by its jurisdiction; and (f) all other information set forth on the Perfection Certificate pertaining to Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is accurate and complete in all material respects (it being understood and agreed that Borrower may from time to time update certain information in the Perfection Certificate after the Effective Date to the extent permitted by one or more specific provisions in this Agreement). If Borrower is not now a Registered Organization but later becomes one, Borrower shall promptly notify Bank of such occurrence and provide Bank with Borrower’s organizational identification number.

The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized, and do not (i) conflict with any of Borrower’s organizational documents, (ii) contravene, conflict with, constitute a default under or violate any material Requirement of Law, (iii) contravene, conflict or violate any applicable order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Authority by which Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their property or assets may be bound or affected, (iv) require any action by, filing, registration, or qualification with, or Governmental Approval from, any Governmental Authority (except such Governmental Approvals which have already been obtained and are in full force and effect), or (v) conflict with, contravene, constitute a default or breach under, or result in or permit the termination or acceleration of, any material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business.

5.2         Collateral. Borrower has good title to, rights in, and the power to transfer each item of the Collateral upon which it purports to grant a Lien hereunder, free and clear of any and all Liens except Permitted Liens. Borrower has no Collateral Accounts at or with any bank or financial institution other than Bank or Bank’s Affiliates except for the Collateral Accounts described in the Perfection Certificate delivered to Bank in connection herewith and which Borrower has taken such actions as are necessary to give Bank a perfected security interest therein, pursuant to the terms of Section 6.8(b). The Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations of the Account Debtors.

The Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as a warehouse) except as otherwise provided in the Perfection Certificate. None of the components of the Collateral shall be maintained at locations other than as provided in the Perfection Certificate or as permitted pursuant to Section 7.2.

All Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects.

Borrower is the sole owner of the Intellectual Property which it owns or purports to own except for (a) non-exclusive licenses granted to its customers in the ordinary course of business, (b) over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public, and (c) material Intellectual Property licensed to Borrower and noted on the Perfection Certificate. Each Patent which it owns or purports to own and which is material to Borrower’s business is valid and enforceable, and no part of the Intellectual Property which Borrower owns or purports to own and which is material to Borrower’s business has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no claim has been made that any part of Borrower’s Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party except to the extent such claim would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business.

7

Except as noted on the Perfection Certificate, Borrower is not a party to, nor is it bound by, any Restricted License.

5.3         Accounts Receivable.

(a)          For each Account with respect to which Advances are requested, on the date each Advance is requested and made, such Account shall be an Eligible Account.

(b)          All statements made and all unpaid balances appearing in all invoices, instruments and other documents evidencing the Eligible Accounts are and shall be true and correct and all such invoices, instruments and other documents, and all of Borrower’s Books are genuine and in all respects what they purport to be. All sales and other transactions underlying or giving rise to each Eligible Account shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations. Borrower has no knowledge of any actual or imminent Insolvency Proceeding of any Account Debtor whose accounts are Eligible Accounts in any Borrowing Base Report. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, all signatures and endorsements on all documents, instruments, and agreements relating to all Eligible Accounts are genuine, and all such documents, instruments and agreements are legally enforceable in accordance with their terms.

5.4         Litigation. There are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer, threatened in writing by or against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries involving more than, individually or in the aggregate, Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00).

5.5         Financial Statements; Financial Condition. All consolidated financial statements for Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries delivered to Bank fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated financial condition and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations. There has not been any material deterioration in Borrower’s consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Bank.

5.6         Solvency. The fair salable value of Borrower’s consolidated assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of Borrower’s liabilities; Borrower is not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature.

5.7         Regulatory Compliance. Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations X, T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Borrower (a) has complied in all material respects with all Requirements of Law, and (b) has not violated any Requirements of Law, in the case of (a) or (b) the noncompliance or violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business. None of Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ properties or assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than legally. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all Governmental Authorities that are necessary to continue their respective businesses as currently conducted, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business.

5.8         Subsidiaries; Investments. Borrower does not own any stock, partnership, or other ownership interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments.

5.9         Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions. Borrower has timely filed all required tax returns and reports, and Borrower has timely paid all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by Borrower except (a) to the extent such taxes are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and diligently conducted, so long as such reserve or other appropriate provision, if any, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP shall have been made therefor, or (b) if such taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions do not, individually or in the aggregate, exceed Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00).

8

To the extent Borrower defers payment of any contested taxes, Borrower shall (i) notify Bank in writing of the commencement of, and any material development in, the proceedings, and (ii) post bonds or take any other steps required to prevent the Governmental Authority levying such contested taxes from obtaining a Lien upon any of the Collateral that is other than a “Permitted Lien.” Borrower is unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of Borrower’s prior tax years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by Borrower in excess of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00). Borrower has paid all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and Borrower has not withdrawn from participation in, and has not permitted partial or complete termination of, or permitted the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of Borrower, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency.

5.10       Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Credit Extensions solely as working capital and to fund its general business requirements and not for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes, and with respect to the Term Loan Advance, for the Angoss Acquisition.

5.11       Full Disclosure. No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Bank, as of the date such representation, warranty, or other statement was made, taken together with all such written certificates and written statements given to Bank, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the certificates or statements not misleading (it being recognized by Bank that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results).

5.12       Definition of “Knowledge.” For purposes of the Loan Documents, whenever a representation or warranty is made to Borrower’s knowledge or awareness, to the “best of” Borrower’s knowledge, or with a similar qualification, knowledge or awareness means the actual knowledge, after reasonable investigation, of any Responsible Officer.

Borrower shall deliver to Bank transaction reports and schedules of collections, as provided in Section 6.2, on Bank’s standard forms; provided, however, that Borrower’s failure to execute and deliver the same shall not affect or limit Bank’s Lien and other rights in all of Borrower’s Accounts, nor shall Bank’s failure to advance or lend against a specific Account affect or limit Bank’s Lien and other rights therein. If reasonably requested by Bank, Borrower shall furnish Bank with copies (or, at Bank’s request, originals) of all contracts, orders, invoices, and other similar documents, and all shipping instructions, delivery receipts, bills of lading, and other evidence of delivery, for any goods the sale or disposition of which gave rise to such Accounts. In addition, Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) deliver to Bank, after its request, the originals of all instruments, chattel paper, security agreements, guarantees and other documents and property evidencing or securing any Accounts, in the same form as received, with all necessary indorsements, and copies of all credit memos.

(b)          Disputes. Borrower shall promptly notify Bank of all disputes or claims relating to Accounts in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) in the aggregate existing at any time. Borrower may forgive (completely or partially), compromise, or settle any Account for less than payment in full, or agree to do any of the foregoing so long as (i) Borrower does so in good faith, in the ordinary course of business, in arm’s-length transactions, and reports the same to Bank in the regular reports provided to Bank; (ii) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and (iii) after taking into account all such discounts, settlements and forgiveness, the total outstanding Advances will not exceed the lesser of the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base.

(c)          Collection of Accounts. Borrower shall direct Account Debtors to deliver or transmit all proceeds of Accounts into a lockbox account, or via electronic deposit capture into a “blocked account” as specified by Bank (either such account, the “Cash Collateral Account”). Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall immediately deliver all payments on and proceeds of Accounts to the Cash Collateral Account. Subject to Bank’s right to maintain a reserve pursuant to Section 6.3(d), so long as no Event of Default exists, all amounts received in the Cash Collateral Account shall be transferred on a daily basis to Borrower’s operating account with Bank. Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to transfer to the Cash Collateral Account any amounts that Bank reasonably determines are proceeds of the Accounts (provided that Bank is under no obligation to do so and this allowance shall in no event relieve Borrower of its obligations hereunder).

(d)          Reserves. Notwithstanding any terms in this Agreement to the contrary, at times when an Event of Default exists, Bank may hold any proceeds of the Accounts and any amounts in the Cash Collateral Account that are not applied to the Obligations pursuant to Section 6.3(c) above (including amounts otherwise required to be transferred to Borrower’s operating account) as a reserve to be applied to any Obligations regardless of whether such Obligations are then due and payable.

(e)          Returns. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if any Account Debtor returns any Inventory to Borrower, Borrower shall promptly (i) determine the reason for such return, (ii) issue a credit memorandum to the Account Debtor in the appropriate amount, and (iii) provide a copy of such credit memorandum to Bank, upon request from Bank. In the event any attempted return occurs after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Borrower shall hold the returned Inventory in trust for Bank, and immediately notify Bank of the return of the Inventory.

(f)           Verifications; Confirmations; Credit Quality; Notifications. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may, from time to time, (i) verify and confirm directly with the respective Account Debtors the validity, amount and other matters relating to the Accounts, either in the name of Borrower or Bank or such other name as Bank may choose, and notify any Account Debtor of Bank’s security interest in such Account and/or (ii) conduct a credit check of any Account Debtor to approve any such Account Debtor’s credit.

(g)          No Liability. Bank shall not be responsible or liable for any shortage or discrepancy in, damage to, or loss or destruction of, any goods, the sale or other disposition of which gives rise to an Account, or for any error, act, omission, or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, failure to settle, collection or failure to collect any Account, or for settling any Account in good faith for less than the full amount thereof, nor shall Bank be deemed to be responsible for any of Borrower’s obligations under any contract or agreement giving rise to an Account. Nothing herein shall, however, relieve Bank from liability for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

11

6.4         Remittance of Proceeds. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.3(c), deliver, in kind, all proceeds arising from the disposition of any Collateral to Bank in the original form in which received by Borrower not later than the following Business Day after receipt by Borrower, to be applied to the Obligations (a) prior to an Event of Default, pursuant to the terms of Section 6.3(c) hereof, and (b) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, pursuant to the terms of Section 9.4 hereof; provided that, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall not be obligated to remit to Bank the proceeds of the sale of assets to the extent permitted by Section 7.1; provided, however, that Borrower shall remit such proceeds to Bank with respect to any Transfer in connection with Section 7.1(b) to the extent that such proceeds exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) in the aggregate (for all such transactions in any fiscal year). To the extent that Borrower is required to remit the proceeds to Bank, Borrower agrees that it will not commingle proceeds of Collateral with any of Borrower’s other funds or property, but will hold such proceeds separate and apart from such other funds and property and in an express trust for Bank. Nothing in this Section 6.4 limits the restrictions on disposition of Collateral set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.

6.5         Taxes; Pensions. Timely file, and require each of its Subsidiaries to timely file, all required tax returns and reports and timely pay, and require each of its Subsidiaries to timely pay, all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, except for deferred payment of any taxes contested pursuant to the terms of Section 5.9 hereof, and shall deliver to Bank, on demand, appropriate certificates attesting to such payments, and pay all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms.

6.6         Access to Collateral; Books and Records. At reasonable times, on two (2) Business Days’ prior notice (provided no notice is required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), Bank, or its agents, shall have the right to inspect the Collateral and the right to audit and copy Borrower’s Books. The foregoing inspections and audits shall be conducted no more often than twice every twelve (12) months unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in which case such inspections and audits shall occur as often as Bank shall determine is necessary. The foregoing inspections and audits shall be conducted at Borrower’s expense and the charge therefor shall be One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) per person per day (or such higher amount as shall represent Bank’s then-current standard charge for the same), plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. In the event Borrower and Bank schedule an audit more than ten (10) days in advance, and Borrower cancels or seeks to or reschedules the audit with less than ten (10) days written notice to Bank, then (without limiting any of Bank’s rights or remedies) Borrower shall pay Bank a fee of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) plus any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Bank to compensate Bank for the anticipated costs and expenses of the cancellation or rescheduling. Borrower acknowledges that the first such audit will occur within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date.

6.7         Insurance.

(a)          Keep its business and the Collateral insured for risks and in amounts standard for companies in Borrower’s industry and location. Insurance policies shall be in a form, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies that are not Affiliates of Borrower, and in amounts that are standard for companies in Borrower’s industry and location. All property policies shall have a lender’s loss payable endorsement showing Bank as the sole lender loss payee. All liability policies shall show, or have endorsements showing, Bank as an additional insured. Bank shall be named as lender loss payee and/or additional insured with respect to any such insurance providing coverage in respect of any Collateral.

(b)          Ensure that proceeds payable under any property policy are, at Bank’s option, payable to Bank on account of the Obligations.

(c)          At Bank’s request, Borrower shall deliver certified copies of insurance policies and evidence of all premium payments. Each provider of any such insurance required under this Section 6.7 shall agree, by endorsement upon the policy or policies issued by it or by independent instruments furnished to Bank, that it will give Bank thirty (30) days prior written notice before any such policy or policies shall be materially altered or canceled. If Borrower fails to obtain insurance as required under this Section 6.7 or to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons and Bank, Bank may make all or part of such payment or obtain such insurance policies required in this Section 6.7, and take any action under the policies Bank reasonably deems prudent.

(b)          In addition to and without limiting the restrictions in (a), Borrower shall provide Bank five (5) days prior written notice before establishing any Collateral Account at or with any bank or financial institution other than Bank or Bank’s Affiliates. For each Collateral Account that Bank (in its sole discretion) permits Borrower to open or maintain at any time, Borrower shall cause the applicable bank or financial institution (other than Bank) at or with which any Collateral Account is maintained to execute and deliver a Control Agreement or other appropriate instrument with respect to such Collateral Account to perfect Bank’s Lien in such Collateral Account in accordance with the terms hereunder which Control Agreement may not be terminated without the prior written consent of Bank. The provisions of the previous sentence shall not apply to deposit accounts exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes, and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of Borrower’s employees and identified to Bank by Borrower as such.

(d)          terminate any FX Contracts;

(e)          verify the amount of, demand payment of and performance under, and collect any Accounts and General Intangibles, settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable, and notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in such funds. Borrower shall collect all payments in trust for Bank and, if requested by Bank, immediately deliver the payments to Bank in the form received from the Account Debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit;

(f)           make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall assemble the Collateral if Bank requests and make it available as Bank designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies;

(g)          apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;

18

(h)          ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Bank is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank’s benefit;

(i)           place a “hold” on any account maintained with Bank and/or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral;

(j)           demand and receive possession of Borrower’s Books; and

(k)          exercise all rights and remedies available to Bank under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).

9.2         Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks, payment instruments, or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) demand, collect, sue, and give releases to any Account Debtor for monies due, settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, and compromise, prosecute, or defend any action, claim, case, or proceeding about any Collateral (including filing a claim or voting a claim in any bankruptcy case of a Person other than Borrower in Bank’s or Borrower’s name, as Bank chooses); (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, or other claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Borrower hereby appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Bank’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and the Loan Documents have been terminated. Bank’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Bank’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and the Loan Documents have been terminated.

9.3         Protective Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.7 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or which may be required to preserve the Collateral, Bank may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest rate applicable to the Obligations, and secured by the Collateral. Bank will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with notice of Bank obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.

9.4         Application of Payments and Proceeds. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank shall have the right to apply in any order any funds in its possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations. Bank shall pay any surplus to Borrower by credit to the Designated Deposit Account or to other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Bank for any deficiency. If Bank, directly or indirectly, enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Bank shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Bank of cash therefor.

19

9.5         Bank’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Bank, Bank shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

9.6         No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the party granting the waiver and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude Bank from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other remedy available at law or in equity, and Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

9.7         Demand Waiver. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is liable.

11 CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER

Except as otherwise expressly provided in any of the Loan Documents, Massachusetts law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Massachusetts; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Bank from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Bank. Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Borrower hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower at the address set forth in, or subsequently provided by Borrower in accordance with, Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrower’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.

BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.

This Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

12 GENERAL PROVISIONS

12.1       Termination Prior to Maturity Date; Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall continue in full force until this Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms and all Obligations have been satisfied. So long as Borrower has satisfied the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations, and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement, and any Obligations under Bank Services Agreements that are cash collateralized in accordance with Section 4.1 of this Agreement), this Agreement may be terminated prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date and the Term Loan Maturity Date by Borrower, effective three (3) Business Days after written notice of termination is given to Bank. Those obligations that are expressly specified in this Agreement as surviving this Agreement’s termination shall continue to survive notwithstanding this Agreement’s termination.

12.2       Successors and Assigns. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party. Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without Bank’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in Bank’s discretion). Bank has the right, without the consent of or notice to Borrower, to sell, transfer, assign, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, Bank’s obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, Bank shall not assign its interest in the Loan Documents to any Person who in the reasonable estimation of Bank is (a) a direct competitor of Borrower, whether as an operating company or direct or indirect parent with voting control over such operating company, or (b) a vulture fund or distressed debt fund.

12.3       Indemnification. Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Bank and its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, or any other Person affiliated with or representing Bank (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless against: (i) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities (collectively, “Claims”) claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; and (ii) all losses or expenses (including Bank Expenses) in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by such Indemnified Person as a result of, following from, consequential to, or arising from transactions between Bank and Borrower (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), except for Claims and/or losses directly caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

21

This Section 12.3 shall survive until all statutes of limitation with respect to the Claims, losses, and expenses for which indemnity is given shall have run.

12.4       Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all Obligations in this Agreement.

12.5       Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement is severable from every other provision in determining the enforceability of any provision.

12.6       Correction of Loan Documents. Bank may correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in the Loan Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties.

12.7       Amendments in Writing; Waiver; Integration. No purported amendment or modification of any Loan Document, or waiver, discharge or termination of any obligation under any Loan Document, shall be enforceable or admissible unless, and only to the extent, expressly set forth in a writing signed by the party against which enforcement or admission is sought. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no oral promise or statement, nor any action, inaction, delay, failure to require performance or course of conduct shall operate as, or evidence, an amendment, supplement or waiver or have any other effect on any Loan Document. Any waiver granted shall be limited to the specific circumstance expressly described in it, and shall not apply to any subsequent or other circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar, or give rise to, or evidence, any obligation or commitment to grant any further waiver. The Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of the Loan Documents merge into the Loan Documents.

12.8       Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, is an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement.

12.9       Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information, Bank shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be made: (a) to Bank’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates (such Subsidiaries and Affiliates, together with Bank, collectively, “Bank Entities”); (b) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Credit Extensions (provided, however, that any prospective transferee or purchaser shall have entered into an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those in this Section 12.9); (c) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order; (d) to Bank’s regulators or as otherwise required in connection with Bank’s examination or audit; (e) as Bank considers appropriate in exercising remedies under the Loan Documents; and (f) to third-party service providers of Bank so long as such service providers have executed a confidentiality agreement with Bank with terms no less restrictive than those contained herein. Confidential information does not include information that is either: (i) in the public domain or in Bank’s possession when disclosed to Bank, or becomes part of the public domain (other than as a result of its disclosure by Bank in violation of this Agreement) after disclosure to Bank; or (ii) disclosed to Bank by a third party, if Bank does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information.

Bank Entities may use anonymous forms of confidential information for aggregate datasets, for analyses or reporting, and for any other uses not expressly prohibited in writing by Borrower. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

12.10    Electronic Execution of Documents. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in any Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping systems, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

22

12.11    Right of Setoff. Borrower hereby grants to Bank a Lien and a right of setoff as security for all Obligations to Bank, whether now existing or hereafter arising upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Bank or any entity under the control of Bank (including a subsidiary of Bank) or in transit to any of them. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without demand or notice, Bank may setoff the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or Obligation of Borrower even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Obligations. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BANK TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF BORROWER, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

12.12    Captions. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

12.13    Construction of Agreement. The parties mutually acknowledge that they and their attorneys have participated in the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement. In cases of uncertainty this Agreement shall be construed without regard to which of the parties caused the uncertainty to exist.

12.14    Relationship. The relationship of the parties to this Agreement is determined solely by the provisions of this Agreement. The parties do not intend to create any agency, partnership, joint venture, trust, fiduciary or other relationship with duties or incidents different from those of parties to an arm’s-length contract.

12.15    Third Parties. Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, is intended to: (a) confer any benefits, rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on any persons other than the express parties to it and their respective permitted successors and assigns; (b) relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any person not an express party to this Agreement; or (c) give any person not an express party to this Agreement any right of subrogation or action against any party to this Agreement.

Datawatch Acquires Data Science Platform Leader Angoss Software

Transaction Broadens Monarch’s Data Preparation Platform Value with Predictive Analytics

Bedford, Mass.—January 30, 2018—Datawatch Corporation (NASDAQ-CM: DWCH), data intelligence provider with market leading enterprise data preparation, predictive analytics, and visualization solutions, today announced that it has acquired Angoss Software Corporation, a privately-held data science platform provider based in Toronto, Canada. The acquisition will augment Datawatch’s Monarch data intelligence offering with expanded capabilities that enable data scientists to perform predictive and prescriptive analytics in a wide variety of enterprise applications. The transaction was completed today for US$24.5 million in an all-cash transaction, which was financed through a combination of Datawatch’s cash on hand and funding from a new credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank.

Angoss delivers powerful predictive and prescriptive analytics that help businesses discover valuable insights and intelligence in their data, and the company was recognized as one of the leaders in the Forrester Wave: Predictive Analytics and Machine Learning Solutions, Q1 2017. Angoss data science solutions are used by more than 300 organizations in 30 countries, including many global firms such as Barclays, Unilever, Scotiabank, TD Bank, Bayer, Wells Fargo, Bank of America and Air Canada. Angoss provides rigorous modeling and validation tools for machine learning in high-value applications for customer segmentation, customer churn, credit risk scoring, fraud detection, next best action, collections and recovery, and many other mission-critical solutions.

“This is a transformative acquisition for Datawatch that offers a very natural complement to our core Monarch technology platform, significantly expands our addressable market and thus strengthens our competitive position,” said Michael A. Morrison, president and chief executive officer. “Our legacy in data preparation serves as the ideal foundation to extend into all levels of analytics, including predictive and prescriptive analytics. With the Angoss data science platform, we are uniting data preparation, machine learning and predictive analytics to provide an end-to-end data intelligence solution for the enterprise. We welcome the Angoss team to Datawatch, and we know that everyone is excited to work together to make advanced analytics even more accessible to users of all skill levels.”

Value-Enhancing Transaction

Based upon the trailing twelve-month results through December 31, 2017, (excluding purchase price accounting adjustments), the combined entity has (in U.S. dollars):

· Pro forma revenue of $48.2 million

· Pro forma bookings of $51.0 million

· Pro forma non-GAAP net income of $2.3 million

Transaction Highlights

· Enhances Datawatch’s financial profile. More than 80% of Angoss revenue is recurring, with industry-leading retention rates, which aids predictability. The transaction is expected to be accretive to Datawatch in fiscal 2019 on a non-GAAP earnings per share basis, although dilutive in fiscal 2018 due to certain purchase accounting adjustments related to deferred revenue.

· Expands Datawatch’s addressable market. Gartner projects that the data science platform market, which is nearly three times as large as the self-service data preparation market, will grow at a CAGR of 11% through 2021.

· Extends the Monarch platform. Angoss’ data science platform is a natural extension of the Monarch data preparation platform, and allows Datawatch to unify the analytics experience for business analysts through to data scientists.

· Strengthens the company’s presence in financial services. A significant number of Angoss’ customers are in the financial services industry, which also represents more than 30% of Datawatch’s business today. Many of Angoss’ financial services customers are existing Datawatch customers, which presents significant cross-sell and upsell opportunities.

For more information, a presentation outlining the transaction and the opportunities it affords the combined entity is posted on Datawatch’s investor relations website (www.datawatch.com, follow links to investor relations and events and presentations.)
