Exhibit
10.1
RESTRUCTURE AND EXCHANGE
AGREEMENT
This
Restructure and Exchange Agreement (“Agreement”) is
effective as of the 30th day of June, 2009, by and between ICC
Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation with its principal place of
business at 3334 E. Coast Highway, Corona del Mar, CA 92625 (the
“Company”), and the persons identified on the attached
Exhibit A (each a “Securityholder “and they are
collectively referred to herein as the
“Securityholders”).
BACKGROUND
During the
period from January 2008 through June 2009 certain of the
Securityholders made loans to the Company in the aggregate
principal amount of $3,605,000 pursuant to various loan agreements
on various dates, as amended from time to time. Exhibit B attached
hereto sets forth certain information concerning each
note including the name of the Securityholder holding the note, the
date of the note, the original principal amount of the note,
whether or not the note is convertible into the Company’s
common stock, and the outstanding indebtedness on such note
including accrued interest at June 30, 2009. Exhibit B
also sets forth the principal amount of the new superseding note to
be issued to each Securityholder pursuant to Section 1 of this
Agreement.
In connection
with and as additional consideration for the making of the loans,
the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 43,562,500
shares of the Company’s common stock and has obligated itself
to issue to certain of the Securityholders warrants to purchase an
additional 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
Exhibit C attached hereto sets forth certain information concerning
the above referenced warrants, including the name of the
Securityholder to whom the warrants were or are to be issued, the
number of shares of the Company’s common stock for which the
warrants are exercisable, the exercise price of such warrants and
the term during which such warrants are exercisable.
During the
period from June 2007 through December 2007, certain of the
Securityholders purchased from the Company shares of the
Company’s Series C convertible preferred
stock. The Series C convertible preferred stock is the
only class or series of preferred stock of the Company outstanding.
Exhibit D attached hereto sets forth the name of each
Securityholder who has been issued Series C preferred stock and the
number of shares of the Company’s Series C convertible
preferred stock issued to and held by such
Securityholder as of June 30, 2009.
The Series C
preferred stock votes with the Company’s common stock on all
matters and entitles each holder to 60 votes per share of Series C
preferred stock held. As of June 30, 2009 there were
outstanding an aggregate of 180,424,045 shares of common stock and
an aggregate of 9,609,044 shares of Series C preferred stock.
Therefore, as of June 30, 2009, the holders of the
Series C preferred stock have voting control in all actions which
require a stockholder vote.
The Company and the Securityholders believe that
it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to
adopt this Agreement in order to simplify the capital structure of
the Company and reduce the number of fully diluted shares of the
Company by:
(a) consolidating the above-described loans made
to the Company into a single loan per lender and making the terms
and conditions as uniform as possible for all loans, and
(b) eliminating the convertibility options in
the loans and the preferred stock,
(c) eliminating the put option in the purchase
agreements through which the Series C preferred stock was
issued.
By reducing the number of fully diluted shares,
the parties believe that the common stock of the Company will
become more valuable and the trading volume of such shares will
likely increase, thereby creating a more liquid market for the
Company’s stock. By creating a more liquid market for
the the Company’s common stock, the Company
expects to be able to raise additional funds to retire the debts
and preferred stock held by the Securityholders prior to their
respective maturities. However, the Securityholders understand and
acknowledge that there is no assurance that consummation of this
Agreement will have the foregoing results.
Each of the Company and the Securityholders has
agreed to enter into this Agreement upon the terms and conditions
set forth herein.

and mutual covenants and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the

rights and preferences of the Series C preferred stock as set forth

options held by certain Securityholders with regard to the Series C
