WHEREAS, in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to the Lender a senior secured promissory note in the original principal amount of $10,500,000, dated as of December 31, 2007 (the “ Notes ”);

 

WHEREAS, the Lender currently owns all of the outstanding Notes ;

 

WHEREAS, the Company owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Acquired Company (the “ Shares ”) which have been pledged to the Lender as collateral for the Notes pursuant to a Pledge Agreement dated as of December 31, 2007 (the “ Pledge Agreement ”); the assets of the Acquired Company constitute “Collateral” for the Notes as defined in that certain Security Agreement by and between the Company and Lender dated as of December 31, 2007 (the “ Security Agreement ”); and the Acquired Company is guarantor of the Notes pursuant to that certain Guaranty dated as of December 31, 2007 by and between the Acquired Company and Lender (the “ Guaranty ”);

 

WHEREAS, the Company wishes to sell the Shares to Purchaser and the Purchaser wishes to purchase the Shares (the “ Acquisition ”)   from the Company free and clear of any and all obligations to Lender, including without limitation those pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, in order to acquire the Retained Assets and Retained Liabilities, as each such term is defined on  Exhibit A annexed hereto, pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit B annexed hereto (the “ Stock Purchase Agreement ”);

 

WHEREAS, each of the Company, the Acquired Company and the Lender desire to facilitate the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, and, subject to the terms hereof, approve the sale of the Acquired Company to Purchaser, terminate the pledge of the Shares under the Pledge Agreement, release any and all Retained Assets as collateral under the Notes, terminate the Guaranty, and along with the Purchaser, terminate the Intercreditor Agreement;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Lender, the Company and the Purchaser agree as follows:

 

1.            Representations of Lender. Lender represents and warrants to Purchaser that (i) Lender owns all of the outstanding Notes issued under the Securities Purchase Agreement, and (ii) Lender has full right and authority, without consent or action of any other person, to take the actions set forth herein.

 


 

2.            Payment of Purchase Price.   The Purchaser and the Company hereby agree that $2,546,069.30 of the Purchase Price (the “ Specified Sale Proceeds” )   shall be paid at the closing of the Acquisition as follows:  (i) $1,800,000 to the Lender in accordance with the wire instructions set forth in Section 1 on Exhibit C hereto; (ii) $100,000 to Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP, in payment of legal fees in accordance with the wire instructions set forth in Section 2 on Exhibit C hereto; and (iii) $646,069.30 into the blocked account of the Company, in accordance with the wire instructions set forth in Section 3 on Exhibit C hereto.

Lender has determined that the purchase price set forth in the Stock Purchase Documents (the “ Purchase Price”) , giving due consideration to the assumption of certain liabilities by Purchaser and other non-cash consideration, is reasonably equivalent value and represents fair consideration for the purchase of the Shares of the Acquired Company and all assets being purchased thereby (including without limitation the Retained Assets) net of all Retained Liabilities.  Lender hereby covenants, now and forever, to refrain from challenging or contesting in any manner, in any forum, including without limitation a bankruptcy proceeding, that the Purchase Price is reasonably equivalent value and represents fair consideration for the purchase of the Shares and all assets being purchased thereby (including without limitation the Retained Assets) net of all Retained Liabilities.
