assigns of any of the above persons or entities.
c. NFC shall mean Nuevo Financial Center, Inc.,
its predecessor entities, and each of its present and former direct
and indirect parents and partners, subsidiaries, divisions,
affiliates or associates (as defined in SEC Rule 12b-2 as
promulgated pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934);
and their present and former partners, stockholders, officers,

predecessors, heirs, executors, administrators, successors and
assigns of any of the above persons or entities.
2. Disclaimer of Liability . This Agreement is a full and final compromise,
settlement and release of disputed claims. This Agreement, and any
and all negotiations, documents and discussions associated with it,
shall not in any event be construed or be deemed to be an admission
or concession on the part of TCI, NFC and/or LAN, or anyone acting
on their behalf of any liability or wrongdoing whatsoever or as any
evidence of any claimed violation by TCI, NFC and/or LAN of the
Contractual Agreement and/or any federal or state statute,
regulation, or law. Neither this Agreement, nor any of its
provisions, nor the Security Agreement attached hereto, nor the
General Release attached hereto, nor evidence of any negotiations
or proceedings in pursuance of this Agreement, shall be offered or
received in any action or proceeding as an admission or concession
of any liability or wrongdoing whatever on the part of TCI, NFC and
LAN, or anyone acting on their behalf.
3. Payment by NFC to LAN .
a. In settlement of LAN’s claims of breach
against TCI and NFC, NFC shall make payments to LAN of $350,000
plus interest at ten percent (10%) per annum (said interest to
commence accruing as of January 1, 2007), for a total settlement
payment of $389,482.60 (the “Settlement Amount”) as
follows:
i. On or before December 20, 2006, NFC shall pay
LAN the sum of Thirty Five Thousand Dollars ($35,000) (the
“Initial Payment”);
ii. After the Initial Payment, NFC shall make
monthly payments to LAN, commencing on January 2, 2007, and
thereafter on the first business day of each successive month, as
detailed on the payment schedule attached hereto at Exhibit
A (provided there are no defaults in payment) until such time
as the Settlement Amount is paid off in its entirety.
b. The payments provided for in Section 3(a)(i)
and (ii) shall be made by wire transfer to an account designated by
LAN or via certified or bank check to LAN’s address set forth
above.
c. TCI and NFC agree that in the event of a
default by NFC of its payment obligations provided for Section 3
(a)(i) and (ii), they shall have fifteen (15) days to cure the
default, and during said fifteen (15) day period, the interest rate
on the unpaid balance of the Settlement Amount due and owing to LAN
will be increased from 10% to 18% per annum. In the event that TCI
and NFC are unable to cure the default after the expiration of the
fifteen (15) day cure period, LAN may pursue any remedy that it has
or may have, in law, or in equity; and the interest on the unpaid
balance shall continue to accrue at eighteen percent (18%) per
annum until such time as the default is cured and payment is
brought current, at which time the interest rate will revert to ten
percent (10%) per annum. TCI and NFC further agree that the filing
of a cause of action by LAN to recover the unpaid balance shall not
toll the accrual of interest at 18% per annum on the unpaid balance
of the Settlement Agreement.
d.
Notwithstanding the foregoing
payment obligations, NFC represents that it is presently in the
process of trying to raise financing, funding and/or capital
(collectively “Financing”) and intends to accomplish
this goal by on or about April 1, 2007. In connection therewith,
TCI and NFC agree that if, following the execution of this
Agreement, NFC is able to raise Financing it shall make payments
against any outstanding unpaid Settlement Amount as
follows:
i.
in the event NFC raises Financing
of $500,000 to $999,999, NFC will pay LAN twenty five percent (25%)
of the outstanding unpaid Settlement Amount. As an example of how
such partial payment may be made and its effect on the payment
schedule, attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 is a payment
schedule assuming a 25% prepayment as of April 1, 2007;
and
ii.
in the event NFC raises Financing
of $1,000,000 to $1,999,999, NFC will pay LAN fifty percent (50%)
of the outstanding unpaid Settlement Amount. As an example of how
such partial payment may be made and its effect on the payment
schedule, attached hereto as Exhibit A-2 is a payment
schedule assuming a 50% prepayment as of April 1, 2007;
and
iii.
in the event NFC raises Financing
of $2,000,000 or more, it will pay LAN the entire balance of the
outstanding unpaid Settlement Amount.
e.
In addition to the payment of the
Settlement Amount in settlement of LAN’s claim of breach
against TCI and NFC, NFC hereby agrees to issue LAN a common stock
warrant providing LAN the right to purchase 1,507,589 shares of NFC
common stock (the “Warrant Shares”) based on the
following terms and conditions, as well as additional terms and
conditions set forth in the form of common stock warrant attached
hereto as Exhibit D (the “Warrant”):
i.
The Warrant may be exercised by LAN
at any time between (a) the earlier to occur of either (i) thirty
(30) days after NFC’s registration statement is approved by
the the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and
NASD, Inc. (“NASD”) (which approval permits NFC’s
securities to be traded on a public market and/or exchange) or (ii)
June 1, 2007 and (b) on or prior to March 31, 2009 or an earlier
date upon the occurrence of the payment of the Settlement Agreement
in full (the “Exercise Period”);
ii. LAN shall have a one time right to exercise the
Warrant in whole and not in part, during the Exercise Period,
provided the Settlement Agreement is not paid in its entirety prior
to the commencement of the Exercise Period. The exercise price for
the Warrant Shares shall be payable in a lump sum of $303,553 (the
“Exercise Price”); and
iii. The stock certificate representing the shares
of NFC common stock issuable by NFC upon payment of the Exercise
Price to NFC during the Exercise Period shall contain the following
restrictive legends (in addition to the other restrictions set
forth in the Warrant):
(a)
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED
HEREBY ARE RESTRICTED SECURITIES WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), AND MAY NOT BE
SOLD, PLEDGED, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE ACT AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS PROMULGATED
THEREUNDER AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES WILL NOT TRANSFER SUCH SECURITIES
EXCEPT UPON RECEIPT OF EVIDENCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT THE
REGISTRATION PROVISIONS OF THE ACT HAVE BEEN COMPLIED WITH OR THAT
SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED AND THAT SUCH TRANSFER WILL NOT
VIOLATE ANY APPLICABLE FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”;
and
(b) “Provided Nuevo Financial Center,
Inc.’s (“NFC”) common stock represented hereby is
registered and trading on a public securities market or exchange,
the holder of this stock certificate shall not be permitted to
sell, on any given business day, NFC shares represented hereby
equal to more than ten percent (10%) of the average number of NFC
shares traded on a public securities market or exchange during the
previous five (5) business days. This restriction shall not apply:
(i) in the event NFC’s common stock is not registered and
trading on a public securities market or exchange, or (ii) to a
private transaction whereby the proposed transfer may be effected
without registration under the Securities Act or that may be
effected under applicable state securities laws; provided, however,
the NFC common stock represented hereby prior to the registration
and trading of the NFC common stock on a public securities market
or exchange shall continue to be subject to this restriction after
such transfer.” The purpose of this restriction is to
establish an orderly trading market for shares of NFC’s
common stock, which NFC believes to be in the best interest of its
shareholders.
4. LAN’S right to sell the NFC
Shares .
a. Subject to Section 4(b) below, LAN, as the
owner of 311,605 NFC Shares, shall have the right, during the term
of this Agreement, to sell any part and/or all of its NFC Shares to
third parties; provided however, that upon receiving a bona fide
third party offer to purchase the NFC Shares, LAN shall, within ten
(10) days of receiving such offer, notify NFC and provide NFC with
a twenty (20) day right of first refusal to purchase the NFC Shares
on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the third party
offer. If NFC rejects to purchase the shares pursuant to the terms
and conditions set forth in the third party offer, LAN may sell the
NFC Shares to the third party. To the extent that the sale of the
NFC Shares by LAN results in LAN receiving proceeds equal to or in
excess of any outstanding Settlement Amount for which LAN has not
yet received payment, NFC’s payment obligations with respect
to the Settlement Amount shall be deemed satisfied. In the event
the sale of the NFC Shares by LAN results in LAN receiving proceeds
less than the then outstanding Settlement Amount for which LAN has
not yet received payment, NFC’s monthly payment obligations
shall be recalculated and a revised Exhibit A shall be
agreed to by the Parties in writing and attached hereto, provided
the interest rate on the outstanding principal amount remains ten
percent (10%) per annum and the monthly payment remains
approximately $12,500 per month.
b. Notwithstanding Section 4(a) above, the
percentage of the NFC Shares which LAN is permitted to sell will be
proportionately reduced each time LAN receives payment against the
outstanding Settlement Amount, whether such payment is a result of
a monthly payment in accordance with the payment schedule attached
as Exhibit A , or LAN receives payment from a third party in
exchange for the sale of all or a portion of the NFC Shares in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Accordingly, and by
way of example only, in the event LAN receives 10% of the
outstanding Settlement Amount, LAN shall thereafter only be
permitted to sell 90% of the NFC Shares which it then owns. In
accordance with the foregoing, each time LAN receives payment on
the outstanding Settlement Amount LAN hereby agrees to return the
stock certificate it holds representing the number of NFC Shares it
owned prior to such transaction and/or payment to NFC and NFC
hereby agrees to issue a new stock certificate to LAN representing
the number of shares LAN shall be deemed to own after giving affect
to such transaction and/or payment and if applicable, NFC agrees to
issue a new stock certificate to the third party purchasing all or
a portion the NFC Shares owned by LAN. The Parties hereby agree
that NFC shall not be obligated to make the next scheduled payment
to LAN under the payment schedule attached hereto as Exhibit
A unless and until LAN returns the stock certificate
representing the number of NFC shares it owned prior to the
previous transaction and/or payment. As an example of how the
certificate return and re-issuance will work in practice, on
January 2, 2007 NFC will pay LAN $12,660.10 pursuant to Exhibit
A and after receipt thereof, LAN will return to NFC the NFC
stock certificate in its possession representing 280,444 NFC
Shares. NFC will then issue a new stock certificate to LAN
representing 271,510 NFC Shares and this process will be repeated
each month in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
1
1 The calculation to determine the number of
shares to be repurchased by NFC shall be based on a share price of
$1.232/share ($350,000 divided by 311,605 shares) and only the
principal portion of the payments set forth on Exhibit A
shall be used in such calculation. In this example, the principal
portion of the payment made on January 2, 2007 was $10,035.10 and
therefore when divided by $1.1232/share, the number of shares
repurchased equals 8,934.
c. Upon full execution of this Agreement, NFC
shall pay LAN the Initial Payment and issue LAN a stock certificate
for 280,444 NFC Shares, which NFC Shares shall be subject to the
same restrictions set forth in Section 3, subsection e.(iii). Upon
receipt of the Initial Payment and the stock certificate for
280,444 NFC Shares, LAN hereby agrees to direct its legal counsel
to release the original TCI stock certificate from escrow and
return such TCI stock certificate to NFC for cancellation. As of
the date of this Agreement, NFC is in the process of working with
its transfer agent to change the name on its stock certificates
from MVCH to “Nuevo Financial Center, Inc.” Prior to
such change becoming effective, the stock certificates to be issued
in connection herewith shall bear the name “Millenium Venture
Capital Holdings, Inc.” Once the change is effective, which
is expected to occur prior to January 31, 2007, the stock
certificates will be issued under the name “Nuevo Financial
Center, Inc.”.
d. NFC explicitly agrees that upon being notified
by LAN of a bona fide third party offer to purchase LAN’s NFC
Shares, NFC shall in no way interfere with or otherwise limit
LAN’s ability to sell, and to profit from the sale of the NFC
Shares by paying any outstanding Settlement Amount such that LAN
receives less than it would be entitled to receive in connection
with the sale of the NFC Shares to the third party offerror, or if
NFC chooses, to NFC.
e. As previously stated in the Contractual
Agreement, LAN acknowledges and understands that its purchase of
the NFC Shares (i) involves a high degree of risk, (ii) LAN may not
be able to liquidate its investment, (iii) transferability is
extremely limited, (iv) LAN could sustain a loss of its investment
and (iv) there is no public market for the sale of the NFC
Shares.
f. (i) If NFC shall conduct an initial public offering
of equity securities, anytime thereafter, upon written request by
LAN (a “Requested Registration”) that NFC effect the
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Act”) of all or part of the NFC Shares (the
“Registrable Securities”), NFC will use its best
efforts to effect the registration under the Act of the Registrable
Securities which NFC has been so requested to register by LAN
within sixty (60) days after receipt of such request.
(ii) If NFC for itself or any of its security
holders shall at any time or times after the date hereof determine
to register under the Act any shares of its capital stock or other
securities, on each such occasion NFC will notify LAN of such
determination at least thrity (30) days prior to the filing of such
registration statement, and upon notice, NFC will use its best
efforts, as soon as practicable thereafter, to cause any of the
Registrable Securities specified by LAN to be included in such
registration statement to the extent such registration is
permissible under the Act, subject to the conditions of the Act and
at the reasonable discretion of NFC’s
underwriters.
5. Security of the Payment Obligations
. TCI and NFC agree that its payment
obligations under this Agreement shall be secured by all of
TCI’s and NFC’s assets, in accordance with the
Subordinate Security Agreement attached hereto at Exhibit B
. LAN agrees and understands that its security interest in
NFC’s assets shall always be subordinate to NFC’s
existing bridge loans with Vision Opportunity Capital Partners, LP,
as evidenced by a certain secured convertible note in the principal
amount of $500,000 and dated as of May 2, 2006 and a certain second
convertible note in the amount of $500,000 and dated as of November
1, 2006 and will further be subordinate to any senior lender from
which it can raise Financing in connection with its efforts to
raise financing, capital and/or funding on or about April 1, 2007
as described in Section 3(d) above. LAN shall have priority over
all other creditors except those referenced in this Section
5.
6. General Release . LAN agrees that, as a condition to receiving
any benefits and covenants set forth in this Agreement, it shall
execute, under oath, the general release in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit C . The General Release shall be executed
contemporaneously with the signing of this Agreement and shall be
delivered to LAN’s counsel to be held in escrow and later
delivered to counsel for TCI and NFC in accordance with Section 7
of this Agreement.

represents and warrants that it is the current owner of the NFC
Shares and that it has not transferred the NFC Shares to any person

that they have not assigned the Contractual Agreement to any person
or entity. In the event there is any claim based on, arising out of
or in connection with any such transfer or assignment or purported
assignment, the Party which made or purported to make such transfer
or assignment hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
the other Party from and against any such claim, action or cause of
