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.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

The new note shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F. As further consideration for (a) the exchange of notes, (b) the amendment of certain of the rights and preferences of the Series C preferred stock as set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement and (c) the elimination of the put options held by certain Securityholders with regard to the Series C preferred stock held by them, as provided in Section 4 of this Agreement, the Company shall issue to each Securityholder who holds a convertible notes or preferred stock warrants to purchase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock set forth opposite the name of such Securityholder on Exhibit C.
