Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On December 14, 2004, Raining Data Corporation (the “Company”) and Astoria Capital Partners, L.P. (“Astoria”) entered into an Agreement Regarding Amended and Restated Common Stock Purchase Warrant and 5% Convertible Subordinated Note Due 2008 which is attached as Exhibit 4.12 (the “Agreement”), the terms and provisions of which are described below. Such Agreement concerns the (1) Amended and Restated Common Stock Purchase Warrant originally issued to Astoria by the Company on December 1, 2000 and amended and restated on April 1, 2003 (the “Warrant”); (2) 5% Convertible Subordinated Note Due 2008 issued to Astoria by the Company on January 30, 2003 (the “Note”); and (3) Payment In Kind notes issued to Astoria by the Company at various times, as evidenced by letter agreements between the Company and Astoria (the “PIK Notes”), with respect to the interest payments that were due and payable under the Note and were not paid in cash.  The Agreement provides that the Company may redeem, in part, the Note and the PIK Notes prior to January 30, 2005 in an amount equal to $2,670,904.25 (the “Redemption Amount”), which amount is equal to the aggregate Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrant) of the Warrant if such Warrant were exercised in full.  On the date of the Agreement, Astoria shall exercise the Warrant in full pursuant to Section 2 of the Warrant and shall pay the Exercise Price in cash rather than through the net exercise provisions set forth in Section 3 of the Warrant.  Immediately following receipt of such payment, the Company shall pay Astoria the Redemption Amount.  In addition, the Agreement provides that the Redemption Amount shall be applied as follows:  first, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Note and PIK Notes in an amount equal to $247,128.88; second, to the principal amount of the PIK Notes in an amount equal to $1,914,165; and third, to the principal amount of the Note in an amount equal to $509,610.37(collectively, the “Cancelled Indebtedness”).  Upon such payment of the Redemption Amount, the Cancelled Indebtedness shall no longer be outstanding and shall be extinguished.
