Exhibit A to Agreement between Tully’s Coffee and Guarantors re Kent Central Financing
Amended Effective as of April 1, 2005
| Description | Compensation for the personal guarantee of debt of the Company under the Kent Central LLC credit facility
| |
| Compensation for the Personal Guarantee | As consideration for the personal guarantee of debt outstanding under the Loan Facility after March 31, 2005, each guarantor will be issued Warrants to purchase the Company’s Common Stock as follows:
1. Each month, the Company will compute the average balance of the actual outstanding Loan Facility debt guaranteed by each guarantor (the “Guaranteed Amount”). If the amount of outstanding guaranteed debt is less than the total amount of the guarantees, the Guaranteed Amount shall be determined based on the proportion of the total guarantees for each guarantor. For example, if a particular guarantor had an individual guarantee limit of $200,000 out of total guarantees of $2,000,000, and the actual amount of outstanding guaranteed debt was $1,450,000, then the Guaranteed Amount for that particular guarantor would be 10% of the $1,450,000, i.e. $145,000.
2. Warrants will be issued to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock based on this formula: | |
|
Compute: A = 0.833% multiplied by the Guaranteed Amount for each particular guarantor for the month. | ||
|
Compute: B = Average value of Common Stock share during the month (based upon actual trading in public stock markets, if available, or amount established by the Company’s Board of Directors for purposes of stock option accounting, if no public stock market trading) minus the Warrant exercise price per share. | ||
|
Number of Warrant shares for the month for each guarantor is computed as follows: A divided by B | ||
|
For example, assuming that a guarantor had a Guaranteed Amount of $100,000 during a month, and assuming that the value of a share of Common Stock was determined to be $1.50 per share, the number of shares for the Warrant would be: (0.833% x $100,000) / ($1.50 - $0.05) = Warrant to purchase 574 shares.
3. If the result of the Warrant calculation is not an even number of shares, it will be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number of shares. Warrants will be computed monthly, but will be issued quarterly, in arrears, on the 15th of January, April, July and October.
Warrants have an exercise price of $0.05 per share.
Warrants will be exercisable one year after issuance (subject to immediate acceleration for mergers and acquisition, public offering of the Company’s stock, or conversion of more than 25% of the Company’s outstanding Series A preferred shares in any twelve month period).
Each Warrant will have a ten year term after it becomes exercisable, and be subject to proportional adjustments for splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, and the like.
This amendment does not affect Warrants issued as compensation for months prior to April 1, 2005, even though such Warrants may actually be issued after March 31, 2005. | ||
| No shareholder rights |
Guarantors will not have voting or dividend rights with respect to unexercised Warrants. |
