Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 16, 2011, Irvine Sensors Corporation (the Company) issued and sold to an accredited
investor, Costa Brava Partnership III L.P. (Costa Brava), in an initial closing a 12% Senior
Subordinated Secured Promissory Note due March 16, 2013 (the Note) in the aggregate principal
amount of $2,000,000 (the Financing). The proceeds of the Financing will be used to repay those
certain convertible and non-convertible debentures that were issued by the Company in March 2010.
The Note bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum, due and payable quarterly in cash within
10 business days of the end of each calendar quarter, calculated on the simple interest basis of a
365-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. The foregoing notwithstanding, until that
certain Secured Promissory Note dated April 14, 2010 by and between the Company to Timothy Looney
(the Looney Note) is repaid in full, cash interest on the Note must instead be paid by adding the
amount of such interest to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes as PIK interest. The
Note is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company pursuant to a Security Agreement
dated March 16, 2011 between the Company and Costa Brava as representative of the Note holders, but
the liens securing the Note are subordinate to the liens securing the indebtedness of the Company
to Summit Financial Resources, L.P. under that certain Financing Agreement dated as of June 16,
2009, and subordinate in right of payment to the Looney Note.
Subject to the subordination to the Looney Note, the amounts owing under the Note may be
accelerated upon the occurrence of certain events of default, such as (i) a change in control of
the Company; (ii) failure to pay to any holder any amounts when and as due under the Note or any
other transaction document in connection therewith (including the Note, the Transaction
Documents) (subject to a 5 business day cure period in the case of a failure to pay interest when
and as due); (iii) any event of default under, redemption of or acceleration prior to maturity of
certain indebtedness of the Company or its subsidiaries (other than the Note) in an aggregate
principal amount in excess of $500,000; (iv) the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than
Optex Systems, Inc. (Optex), pursuant to or within the meaning of Title 11, U.S. Code, or any
similar Federal, foreign or state law for the relief of debtors (collectively, Bankruptcy Law),
commences a voluntary case, consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an
involuntary case, consents to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or
similar official (a Custodian), makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or
admits in writing that it is generally unable to pay its debts as they become due; (v) a court of
competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that is for relief
against the Company or any of its subsidiaries (other than Optex) in an involuntary case, appoints
a Custodian of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (other than Optex) or orders the liquidation
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (other than Optex); (vi) a final judgment or judgments
for the payment of money aggregating in excess of $500,000 are rendered against the Company or any
of its subsidiaries and which judgments are not, within 60 days after the entry thereof, bonded,
discharged or stayed pending appeal, or are not discharged within 60 days after the expiration of
such stay; provided, however, that any judgment which is covered by insurance or an indemnity from
a creditworthy party will not be included in calculating the $500,000 amount so long as the Company
provides a reasonably satisfactory written statement from such insurer or indemnity provider to the
effect that such judgment is covered by insurance or an indemnity and the Company will receive the
proceeds of such insurance or indemnity within 30 days of the issuance of such judgment or such
later date as provided by the terms of such insurance policy; (vii) any representation or warranty
made by the Company in any Transaction Document shall prove to be materially false or misleading as
of the date made or deemed made; (viii) the Company breaches any covenant or other term or
condition of any Transaction Document and, in the case of a breach of a covenant or term or
condition which is curable, such breach continues for a period of at least 10 consecutive business
days; (ix) any material provision of any Transaction Document ceases to be of full force and effect
other than by its terms, or the Company contests in writing (or supports any other person in
contesting) the validity or enforceability of any provision of any Transaction Document; (x) the
Security Agreement shall for any reason (other than pursuant to the terms thereof) cease to create
a valid and perfected lien, with the priority required by the Security Agreement, on, and security
interest in, any material portion of the collateral purported to be covered thereby, subject to
permitted liens and the liens securing Looney Note; and (xi) any event of default occurs with
respect to any other Notes.
Pursuant to the terms of the Note, unless the successor entity assumes the obligations under
the Note and Transaction Documents, the Company may not directly or indirectly, in one or more
related transactions, (i) consolidate or merge with or into (whether or not the Company is the
surviving corporation) another entity or
person, (ii) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company to another entity or person, (iii) allow another person or entity to make a
purchase, tender or exchange offer that is accepted by the holders of more than the 50% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the persons or
entities making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the persons or entities making or
party to, such purchase, tender or exchange offer), (iv) consummate a stock purchase agreement or
other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization,
spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another person or entity whereby such other person or
entity acquires more than the 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any
shares of Common Stock held by the other persons or entities making or party to, or associated or
affiliated with the other persons or entities making or party to, such stock purchase agreement or
other business combination), or (v) reorganize, recapitalize or reclassify its Common Stock (each,
a Fundamental Transaction).
The Note also restricts the Company from (A) directly or indirectly, incurring or
guaranteeing, assuming or suffering to exist any indebtedness, other than the Notes, the Looney
Note and certain other permitted indebtedness; (B) allowing or suffering to exist any mortgage,
lien, pledge, charge, security interest or other similar encumbrance upon or in any property or
assets (including accounts and contract rights) owned by the Company or any of its subsidiaries
other than existing liens securing the Looney Note and certain other permitted liens; and (C)
during an event of default, directly or indirectly, redeeming, defeasing, repurchasing, repaying or
making any payments in respect of, by the payment of cash or cash equivalents (in whole or in part,
whether by way of open market purchases, tender offers, private transactions or otherwise), all or
any portion of any indebtedness expressly subordinate to the Note.
In connection with the Financing, on March 16, 2011, the Company also entered into an Omnibus
Amendment with Costa Brava and The Griffin Fund LP (Griffin) amending those certain 12%
Subordinated Secured Convertible Notes due December 23, 2015 (the Convertible Notes) and the
security agreement covering the Convertible Notes, to permit the Financing and to subordinate the
liens securing the Convertible Notes to the liens securing the Note.
The Note has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or
sold absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration. The Company may expand the
Financing.
The information set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms
of the Note, Security Agreement and Omnibus Amendment attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.3
