Determine, Inc.
Common Stock
SUBSCRIPTION AND INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is dated as of the date set forth on the signature page of this Agreement by and between Determine, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned subscribers (the “Subscribers”). In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Agreement of Sale. The Company agrees to sell to Subscribers, and Subscribers agree to acquire from the Company, that number of shares the Company’s common stock set forth in Schedule I next to each Subscriber’s name (the “Securities”). The purchase price will be paid by the Subscribers by the Subscribers acceptance of the Company’s request to convert a portion of the notes issued to Subscribers in March 2015 (the “Notes”) into the Company’s common stock pursuant to the terms of the Notes as set forth in Schedule I and for other good an valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged. Execution of this agreement shall constitute each Subscriber’s request to convert the portion of the Notes set forth in Schedule I. pursuant to the terms of the Notes. Securities issued pursuant to the Agreement shall be subject to the same registration rights as Securities issuable upon conversion of the Notes.
2. Representations and Warranties of Each Subscriber. In consideration of the Company’s offer to sell the Securities, each Subscriber hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
a. Information About the Company.
i. Subscriber has reviewed the Company’s public filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risk factors described therein.
ii. Subscriber has had an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company concerning the business, management and financial affairs of the Company and the terms and conditions of the purchase of the Securities contemplated hereby. Subscriber has had an opportunity to obtain, and has received, any additional information deemed necessary by the Subscriber to verify such information in order to form a decision concerning an investment in the Company.
iii. Subscriber has been advised to seek legal counsel and financial advice concerning Subscriber’s investment in the Company.
b. Restrictions on Transfer. Subscriber represents and warrants that the Securities are being purchased for Subscriber’s own account and for Subscriber’s investment and without the intention of reselling or redistributing the same, that Subscriber has made no agreement with others regarding any of such Securities and that Subscriber’s financial condition is such that it is not likely that it will be necessary to dispose of any of the Securities in the foreseeable future. Subscriber is aware that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, a purchase of the Securities with an intent to resell by reason of any foreseeable specific contingency or anticipated change in market values, or any change in the condition of the Company, or in connection with a contemplated liquidation or settlement of any loan obtained for the acquisition of the Securities and for which the Securities were pledged as security, would represent an intent inconsistent with the representations set forth above. Subscriber understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state or foreign securities laws in reliance on exemptions from registration under both such acts, and that, accordingly, the Securities may not be resold by the undersigned unless they are registered under both the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state or foreign securities laws or are sold in transactions which are exempt from such registration. Subscriber therefore agrees not to sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Securities unless a registration statement relating thereto has been duly filed and become effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state or foreign securities laws, or unless in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company no such registration is required under the circumstances.

c. High Degree of Risk. Subscriber realizes that an investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk, including the risks of receiving no return on the investment and of losing Subscriber’s entire investment in the Company. Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of investment in the Securities, including the total loss of such investment. The Company can make no assurance regarding its future financial performance or as to the future profitability of the Company.
d. Suitability. Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that Subscriber is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities. Subscriber has obtained, to the extent deemed necessary, Subscriber’s own personal professional advice with respect to the risks inherent in, and the suitability of, an investment in the Securities in light of Subscriber’s financial condition and investment needs. Subscriber believes that the investment in the Securities is suitable for Subscriber based upon Subscriber’s investment objectives and financial needs, and Subscriber has adequate means for providing for Subscriber’s current financial needs and personal contingencies and has no need for liquidity of investment with respect to the Securities. Subscriber understands that no federal or state agency has made any finding or determination as to the fairness for investment, nor any recommendation or endorsement, of the Securities.
e. Tax Liability. Subscriber has reviewed with Subscriber’s own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and has and will rely solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Subscriber understands that Subscriber (and not the Company) shall be responsible for Subscriber’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Under penalties of perjury, Subscriber certifies that (a) the number shown on the signature page below is Subscriber’s correct social security or taxpayer identification number and (b) Subscriber is not subject to back-up withholding either because Subscriber has not been notified that Subscriber is subject to back-up withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest and dividends, or because the Internal Revenue Service has notified Subscriber that Subscriber is no longer subject to back-up withholding.
e. Residence. Subscriber’s principal residence or business address, and the location where the securities are being purchased, is Subscriber’s address listed below.
f. Limitation Regarding Representations. Except as set forth in this Agreement, no representations or warranties have been made to Subscriber by the Company or any agent, employee or affiliate of the Company and in entering into this transaction, Subscriber is not relying on any information, other than that contained herein and the results of independent investigation by Subscriber. Subscriber agrees it is not relying on any oral or written information not expressly included in this Agreement, meaning Subscriber is not relying on information that has been provided by the Company, its directors, its officers or any affiliate of any of the foregoing.
g. Authority.
i. Entity. If the undersigned is not an individual but an entity, the individual signing on behalf of such entity and the entity jointly and severally agree and certify that (a) the undersigned was not organized for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities and (b) this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the undersigned, has been duly executed by an authorized officer or representative of the undersigned, and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the undersigned enforceable in accordance with its terms.
