CONTRIBUTION AND INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
CONTRIBUTION AND INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT, dated as of June 30,
2005
(the "Agreement"), by and between Cedric Kushner
Promotions,
Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("CKP") and World Wide South
Beach, LLC ("WWSB").
Each of CKP and
WWSB is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a "Guarantor" and
together as the
"Guarantors".
BACKGROUND
WHEREAS, CKP is a party to that certain Guaranty and Pledge
Agreement,
dated as of June 30, 2004, as amended as of the date hereof (the "CKP
Guaranty"), in favor of Redwood Holdings Limited, Platinum Partners Value
Arbitrage Fund, L.P., and WEC Partners LLC (collectively, the "Investors")
pursuant to which, among other things, CKP
provided a guaranty of payment to the
Investors of the capital contribution amount of $1,000,000 (the "Capital
Contribution Amount") to, among other things,
provide initial
financing under
that certain Limitied Liability Company Agreement (the
"LLC Agreement"),
dated
as of June 30, 2004, of Pledge This
Holdings, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability
company (the "Company").
WHEREAS, WWSB is a party to that certain Guaranty Agreement,
dated as
of June 30, 2005 (the "WWSB Guaranty" and,
together with the CKP
Guaranty, the
"Guarantees"), in favor of the Investors pursuant
to which, among other things,
WWSB provided a guaranty of payment to the
Investors of the Capital Contribution
Amount.
The Guarantors desire to make arrangements by and between
themselves
to allocate the liability of the Guarantors
under the Guarantees.
NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of
the premises and intending to be
legally bound, the parties agree as
follows:
1. Contribution and Indemnification. (a) The Guarantors acknowledge and
agree that it is their intention that, if payment of any Capital
Contribution
Amount is required to be made pursuant to
the Guarantees, the
aggregate amount
of such payments (the "Total Liability Amount") shall be shared by, and
allocated between each of CKP and WWSB in
accordance with the
percentages set
forth opposite their respective names as
set forth on Schedule A attached hereto
and made a part hereof (such percentage hereinafter referred to as the
"Designated Percentage" of such Guarantor). Accordingly, each Guarantor
severally agrees (subject to the provisions of Section 3 hereof)
that, if any
required payment of the Total Liability
Amount (the "Required
Payment Amount")
is made by, or demanded of, a Guarantor
(the "Claiming Guarantor") under the
Guarantees, the other Guarantor shall immediately indemnify the Claiming
Guarantor and pay the Claiming Guarantor (if and only if the
Claiming Guarantor
has made a payment under the Guaranty),
or by directly
paying the Investors
or
any other third party designated by the Claiming Guarantor (if a payment has
<PAGE>
been demanded of the Claiming Guarantor,
but the Claiming Guarantor has not made
such payment), an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the
Required Payment Amount by the Designated
Percentage of such other Guarantor. In
the event that both Guarantors are required to make payments of any Required
Payment Amount pursuant to the Guaranty,
the Guarantors
shall, in good
faith,
make such adjustments in the amounts that each is required to pay (whether
directly pursuant to the Guaranty or pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement), so that each such Guarantor shall be required to pay no more
than
his or her Designated Percentage of the
aggregate Required Payment Amount.
(b)
When a Claiming Guarantor receives a demand for payment,
or makes a
payment, under the Guaranty, as applicable,
such Claiming Guarantor shall notify
the other Guarantor, which notice (the "Notice") shall
constitute a demand for
payment from such other Guarantor pursuant
to this Section 1 and shall contain a
copy of any payment notice received by such Claiming
Guarantor and evidence
of
any payment made.
(c)
Any Guarantor
making a payment
pursuant to this
Section 1 shall be
subrogated to the rights of the Claiming
Guarantor, or such other third party to
whom such payment is made to the extent of
such payment.
(d)
In the event that one
or both of the
Guarantors becomes a
party to
any action or proceeding in which claims
are asserted against such Guarantor(s)
seeking to require the Guarantor(s) to pay
amounts pursuant to the Guaranty, the
other Guarantor (if applicable) agrees
that, if the Guarantor(s) brings a third
party action against any one or more of the
other Guarantor in
such action or
proceeding (in which the basis of the claim of the third party plaintiff
Guarantor is that the other Guarantor (if
applicable)
are liable,
up to their
respective Designated Percentages, for the claim being asserted against the
third party plaintiff Guarantor), the other
Guarantor (if applicable): (i) shall
submit to the jurisdiction of the court in which such action
or proceeding is
pending; and (ii) unconditionally waives and agrees not to assert by way of
motion, as a defense or otherwise any claims that he or she is not
subject to
the jurisdiction of such court,
that such action is
brought in an inconvenient
forum or that the venue of such action or
proceeding is improper. Each Guarantor
irrevocably waives trial by jury in connection
with any such third party action
or proceeding.
(e)
Notwithstanding
anything to the
contrary herein, or in any other
agreements executed concurrently herewith, any and all payments owed to the
Investors ("Installment Payments") pursuant to that
certain Installment Payment
Agreement (the "Installment Payment
Agreement"),
dated as of June 30,
2004, as
amended as of the date hereof, are the sole responsibility of CKP and are
outside the purview and scope of this
Agreement.
CKP acknowledges and agrees
that WWSB shall have no contribution or
indemnification obligations with respect
to any Installment Payments, and shall not be liable for such
payments. CKP
agrees that, if any Installment Payment is made by, or demanded
of, WWSB, CKP
<PAGE>
shall immediately indemnify WWSB and pay WWSB (if and only if
WWSB has made a
payment), or by directly paying the Investors or any other third party
designated by WWSB (if a payment has been
demanded of WWSB, but WWSB has not
made such payment), the amount of such payment, plus any fees, costs and
disbursements incurred by WWSB in connection with the enforcement of this
Section 1(e).
2. Subrogation. In addition to all such rights of indemnification and
subrogation that the Guarantors may have
unde
