In the event that the Credit Parties shall have failed to establish or maintain  the Interest Reserve Account or shall have failed to take any actions requested by Purchaser necessary for the Purchaser to have acquired the duly perfected first priority lien on and security interest in the Interest Reserve Account and the deposits therein and proceeds thereof, as of any date on which the funding or an advance hereunder is made, including the Initial Advance, or if the Purchaser elects to collect all interest payments in advance as contemplated by this paragraph in lieu of the establishment of an Interest Reserve Account, the Purchaser shall be entitled to hold back and refrain from funding an amount equal to the applicable Required Interest Reserve Deposit (each, an “Interest Reserve Holdback”), which Interest Reserve Holdback the Purchaser shall apply to the payment of interest on the Note.  For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that an Interest Reserve Holdback occurs, the full advance, including the Interest Reserve Holdback, shall be deemed to have been funded and interest shall accrue thereon pursuant to the terms of the applicable Note, and the Purchaser shall not be required to pay or be liable for any interest thereon in favor of the Credit Parties.

Purchaser’s Investment Representations. The Purchaser hereby represents that it is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act), it is acquiring the Note and Warrant purchased hereunder for its own account with the present intention of holding the Note for purposes of investment, and that it has no intention of selling the Note or Warrant in a public distribution in violation of the federal securities laws or any applicable state securities laws; provided that nothing contained herein shall prevent the Purchaser and subsequent holders of the Note or Warrant from transferring such securities in compliance with the provisions of Section 7.7 hereof.  Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Note and Warrant, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment.  Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Note and Warrant and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.  Purchaser is not purchasing the Note and Warrant as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Note and Warrant published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement. Purchaser has not employed any broker or finder or incurred any liability for any brokerage or investment banking fees, commissions, finders’ structuring fees, financial advisory fees or other similar fees in connection with the Transaction Documents. Purchaser hereby agrees and acknowledges that Purchaser has had an opportunity to meet with representatives of the Company and to ask questions and receive answers to Purchaser’s satisfaction regarding the Company’s proposed business and the Company’s financial condition in order to assist Purchaser in evaluating the merits and risks of purchasing the Note and Warrant.  All material documents and information pertaining to the Company and the purchase of Note and Warrant hereunder that have been requested by Purchaser have been made available to Purchaser. Purchaser hereby agrees and acknowledges that it has been informed of the following: (i) there are factors relating to the subsequent transfer of any Note and Warrant acquired hereunder that could make the resale of such Note and Warrant difficult; and (ii) there is no guarantee that Purchaser will realize any gain from the purchase of the Note and Warrant.  The purchase of the Note and Warrant involves a high degree of risk and is subject to many uncertainties.  These risks and uncertainties may adversely affect the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.  In such an event, the trading price for the Common Stock could decline substantially and Purchaser could lose all or part of its investment. Purchaser has full right, power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder.  The execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or similar action on the part of Purchaser.  Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by Purchaser, and when delivered by Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of



34




creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

If the Credit Parties pay any consideration to any holder of a Note for such holder’s consent to any amendment, modification or waiver hereunder, the Credit Parties shall also pay each other holder granting its consent hereunder equivalent consideration computed on a pro rata basis.

7.5

37




fees, liabilities and damages and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, interest and penalties and all amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of any of the foregoing and claims relating to any of the foregoing (the “Liabilities”), incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Note, (b) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement and any other instrument, document or agreement executed pursuant hereto by any of the Indemnitees except to the extent any such Liabilities related thereto are caused by the particular Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct and except to the extent there is a final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that Purchaser has materially breached its obligations under this Agreement, or (c) the past, present or future environmental condition of any property owned, operated or used by a Credit Party, any of its Subsidiaries, their predecessors or successors or of any offsite treatment, storage or disposal location associated therewith, including the presence on or under, or the escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission, release, or threatened release into, onto or from, any such property or location of any toxic, chemical or hazardous substance, material or waste (including any losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, penalties, fees, costs, expenses or claims asserted or arising under any Environmental and Safety Requirement, regardless of whether caused by, or within the control of, a Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries). To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Credit Parties may be unenforceable for any reason, the Credit Parties shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

7.17

Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Credit Parties make a payment or payments to the Purchaser hereunder or under the Note or the Purchaser enforces its rights or exercises its right of setoff hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Credit Parties, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

7.18

Jurisdiction and Venue. Each of the parties (i) submits to the jurisdiction of any state or Federal court sitting in Tampa, Florida in any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Note or any other Transaction Document, (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding may be heard or determined in any such court, and (iii) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Note or any other Transaction Document in any other court, except to the extent such proceeding relates to a mortgage over real property in another jurisdiction and such proceeding is required by law to occur in the jurisdiction in which such property is located. Each of the parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto. Any party may make service on any other party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving



38




of notices in Section 7.13. Each party agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of the Purchaser to bring proceedings against a Credit Party in the courts of any other jurisdiction. The exclusive choice of forum for the Credit Parties set forth in this Section 7.18 shall not be deemed to preclude the enforcement by the Purchaser or any holder of the Note of any judgment obtained in any other forum or the taking by the Purchaser or any holder of the Note of any action to enforce the same in any other appropriate jurisdiction, and the Credit Parties hereby waive the right to collaterally attack any such judgment or action.

7.19

Waiver of Right to Jury Trial. THE CREDIT PARTIES AND EACH HOLDER OF THE NOTE OR NOTES HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION IN ANY COURT WITH RESPECT TO, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE NOTE OR NOTES OR THE VALIDITY, PROTECTION, INTERPRETATION, COLLECTION OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF. THE CREDIT PARTIES AGREE THAT THIS SECTION 7.19 IS A SPECIFIC AND MATERIAL ASPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PURCHASER WOULD NOT PURCHASE THE NOTE OR NOTES HEREUNDER IF THIS SECTION 7.19 WERE NOT PART OF THIS AGREEMENT.

7.20

Certain Waivers. The Credit Parties hereby waive diligence, presentment, protest and demand and notice of protest and demand, dishonor and nonpayment of the Note, and expressly agree that the Note, or any payment thereunder, may be extended from time to time and that the holder thereof may accept security for the Note or release security for the Note, all without in any way affecting the liability of the Credit Parties thereunder.

7.21

USA PATRIOT Act. The Purchaser hereby notifies the Credit Parties and their Affiliates that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Credit Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Credit Parties and other information that will allow the Purchaser to identify the Credit Parties in accordance with the foregoing act.

Section 8.

Cross-Guaranty of Credit Parties.

8.1

Cross-Guaranty. Each Credit Party hereby agrees that such Credit Party is jointly and severally liable for, and hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Purchaser and its respective successors and assigns, the full and prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of, all Indebtedness and other obligations owed or hereafter owing to the Purchaser by the other Credit Parties. Each Credit Party agrees that its guaranty obligation hereunder is a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, that its obligations under this Section 8 shall not be discharged until payment and performance, in full, of the aforementioned Indebtedness and obligations has occurred, and that its obligations under this Section 8 shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by:



39




(i)

the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in, this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other agreement, document or instrument to which any Credit Party is or may become a party;

(ii)

the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 8) or any other Transaction Document or the waiver or consent by the Purchaser with respect to any of the provisions thereof;

(iii)

the insolvency of any Credit Party; or

(iv)

any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor.

Each Credit Party shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with respect to the aforementioned Indebtedness and obligations guaranteed hereunder.

8.2

Waivers by Credit Parties. Each Credit Party expressly waives all rights it may have now or in the future under any statute, or at common law, or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel the Purchaser to marshal assets or to proceed in respect of the Indebtedness or obligations guaranteed hereunder against any other Credit Party or any other party, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Credit Party. It is agreed among each Credit Party and each Purchaser that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and that, but for the provisions of this Section 8 and such waivers, each Purchaser would decline to enter into this Agreement.

8.3

Benefit of Guaranty. Each Credit Party agrees that the provisions of this Section 8 are for the benefit of the Purchaser and its respective successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between any other Credit Party and the Purchaser, the obligations of such other Credit Party under the Transaction Documents.

8.4

Waiver of Subrogation, Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, each Credit Party hereby expressly and irrevocably waives any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off and any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is intended to benefit Purchaser and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Credit Party’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Section 8, and that Purchaser and its successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 8.4.

8.5

Election of Remedies. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, the Purchaser shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Credit Party or any other Person, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, each Credit Party hereby consents to such action by the Purchaser and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by the Purchaser shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation that a Credit Party might otherwise have had but for such action by the Purchaser. Any election of remedies that results in the denial or impairment of the right of the Purchaser to seek a deficiency judgment



40




against any Credit Party shall not impair any other Credit Party’s obligation to pay or perform all Indebtedness and other obligations owed or hereafter owing to the Purchaser.

8.6

Liability Cumulative. The liability of each of the Credit Parties under this Section 8 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of such Credit Party to the Purchaser under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which such Credit Party is a party or in respect of any obligation of the other Credit Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

Exhibit C – Description of ASTV Merger

Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated on or about April 1, 2014, ASTV Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of As Seen on TV, Inc. (“ASTV”), will merge with and into Infusion Brands, Inc. (“Infusion”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Infusion Brands International, Inc. (“International”), with Infusion surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of ASTV. In consideration therefor, International will receive common stock of  ASTV (calculated on a fully diluted basis as of immediately following closing) in an amount sufficient to make it the holder of 75% of the common stock of ASTV. Shares of International will remain outstanding, but because International will have contributed all of its assets and liabilities to Infusion prior to the consummation of the ASTV merger, the sole asset of International will be its 75% ownership interest in ASTV.

Exhibit D – Description of Vicis Restructuring

Pursuant to a Securities Purchase, Exchange and Redemption Agreement dated as of March 6, 2014, by and between Vicis Capital Master Fund (“Vicis”) and Infusion Brands International, Inc. (“International”), Vicis funded an additional $2 million to International (which International used immediately to procure its ownership interest in Ronco Funding LLC) and returned all securities of International owned by Vicis (which included a majority of International's common stock, all of its outstanding shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, warrants to purchase common stock, and certain debt), in exchange for which Vicis received a Senior Secured Debenture issued by International in the original principal amount of $11 million.  Payments under the Senior Secured Debenture are secured by all assets of International pursuant to a security agreement and are guaranteed by Infusion Brands, Inc., which guaranty is supported by a guarantor security agreement securing all assets of Infusion Brands, Inc.  Pursuant to and in furtherance of the ASTV Merger, Infusion Brands, Inc. assumed such Senior Secured Debenture and all obligations of International thereunder prior to the ASTV Merger, and ASTV will assume or has assumed such Senior Secured Debenture and all such obligations from Infusion Brands, Inc. (with Infusion Brands, Inc. continuing as guarantor thereof).

Exhibit E – Description of Ronco Acquisition

Pursuant to an Amended and Restated RFL, Enterprises, and Infusion Agreement dated as of March 6, 2014, by and between Infusion Brands International, Inc., RFL Enterprises LLC, and Ronco Funding LLC, Infusion Brands International, Inc. acquired 100 percent of the membership interests of Ronco Funding LLC from RFL Enterprises LLC.  In consideration thereof, RFL Enterprises LLC received shares of common stock of Infusion Brands International, Inc. equal to 5 percent of Infusion Brands International, Inc. as of the closing thereof.  The sole











assets of Ronco Funding LLC are a participation interest in the secured debt of Ronco Holdings, Inc. (the “Ronco Secured Debt”) and an option to procure the remaining interest in such secured debt for an additional $2,350,000.  In conjunction therewith, Infusion Brands International, Inc. established the 2014 Infusion Stock Incentive Plan, pursuant to which common shares constituting 45 percent of Infusion Brands International, Inc. were issued to the Infusion Stock Ownership Trust, and Infusion Brands International, Inc. acquired the right to designate the majority of the board of directors of Ronco Holdings, Inc.  Pursuant to and in furtherance of the ASTV Merger, all rights of Infusion Brands International, Inc. under the Ronco Agreement were assigned to Infusion Brands, Inc.
