SCHEDULE 13D

 

CUSIP No. 456132208     Page 6 of 10 Pages

 

Item 1. Security and Issuer.

This Schedule 13D relates to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of Industrial Enterprises of America, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Issuer”). In 2009 the Issuer and certain of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for bankruptcy protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The address of the principal executive office of the Issuer is 116 West 23rd Street, Suite 500, New York, New York 10011.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background.

(a), (f) This Schedule 13D is being filed jointly by: (1) Hapfus, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Hapfus”), (ii) the Segundo Irrevocable Trust dated 12/18/1992 (the “Irrevocable Trust”), (iii) the Ernest C. Segundo, Jr. Family Trust dated 9/16/2005 (the “Family Trust”), and (iv) Ernest C. Segundo, Jr., a citizen of the United States (each individually, a “Reporting Person” or collectively, the “Reporting Persons”).

Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock to which such Reporting Person does not have a pecuniary interest. The agreement among the Reporting Persons to file this Schedule 13D jointly in accordance with Rule 13d-1(k) under the Exchange Act is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.

(b) The address of each Reporting Person is 2808 58th Street South, Gulfport, Florida 33707.

(c) Hapfus is a Delaware limited liability company, which exists to hold, either directly or indirectly through its status as member in Omtammot, LLC (“Omtammot”), loans made to the Issuer and to pursue any other purposes permitted by law. Omtammot is a Delaware limited liability company, an affiliate of Mr. Segundo and a pre-petition and post-petition lender to the Issuer. Omtammot is not a beneficial owner of any Common Stock and, accordingly, is not one of the Reporting Persons filing this Schedule 13D.

The Irrevocable Trust and the Family Trust are the sole members and managers of Hapfus. The Irrevocable Trust and the Family Trust were established for the benefit of their respective beneficiaries. Mr. Segundo is the sole trustee of the Irrevocable Trust and the Family Trust.

Mr. Segundo is self-employed as a financial analyst and private investor. Mr. Segundo also provides private investment management services through Pandion Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company of which Mr. Segundo is the sole member. The address of Pandion Capital, LLC is 2808 58th Street South, Gulfport, Florida 33707.

(d) During the past five years, none of the Reporting Persons have been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

(e) During the past five years, none of the Reporting Persons have been a party to any civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which it or he was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

On February 20, 2013, Hapfus entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Beryl Zyskind (the “Seller”), pursuant to which Hapfus agreed to purchase 105,500,281 shares of Common Stock(the “Purchase Shares”), subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions. Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, Hapfus was obligated to make an initial payment of $1,000 upon execution of the Stock Purchase Agreement and Hapfus will be obligated to make a second payment of $99,000 upon the closing of the purchase contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement. The funds for the initial payment were obtained from the working capital of Hapfus, which was contributed by its members, the Family Trust and the Irrevocable Trust.


SCHEDULE 13D

 

CUSIP No. 456132208     Page 7 of 10 Pages

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Omtammot has submitted to the court a plan of reorganization (as amended, the “Omtammot Reorganization Plan”). The description of the Omtammot Reorganization Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such plan, which is an exhibit to this Schedule 13D. The Issuer as debtor in possession has submitted a competing reorganization plan to the court. Other parties may also submit competing reorganization plans to the court. The Issuer and other parties may file with the court objections to the Omtammot Reorganization Plan or other reorganization plans. As of the date of this Schedule 13D, the Omtammot Reorganzation Plan has not yet been sent to creditors for approval. There is no assurance that the Omtammot Reorganization Plan will be confirmed by the bankruptcy court.

As required by the Stock Purchase Agreement, on March 3, 2013, the Seller provided Hapfus with an irrevocable proxy for all the voting rights of the Purchase Shares. The descriptions of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the proxy in this Schedule 13D are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, which are exhibits to this Schedule 13D, and which by this reference are incorporated into this Schedule 13D.

If confirmed by the court, the most recent amendment to the Omtammot Reorganization Plan (filed March 4, 2013) contemplates several changes in the Issuer’s management pursuant to the court’s authority under Section 1123(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The proposed management changes include (i) removing all current members of the Board of Directors and replacing them with three new directors, (ii) appointing Mr. Segundo as one of the replacement directors, (iii) appointing as the second replacement director an individual identified in the Omtammot Reorganization Plan to serve as the Issuer’s post-petition chief executive officer, (iv) appointing as a third replacement director an independent director to be named by Omtammot prior to confirmation and (v) appointing Mr. Segundo as Chairman of the Board.

The proxy described above relating to Purchase Shares and ownership of the other shares identified herein as being beneficially owned provides the Reporting Persons with control of approximately 72.2% of the Issuer’s outstanding voting securities. As a result, the Reporting Persons have the ability to control the outcome of all matters that may be decided by a vote of the issuer’s shareholders requiring the affirmative vote of less than 72% of the outstanding voting securities, such as the election of directors.

Each of the Reporting Persons reserves the right, in light of an ongoing evaluation of the Issuer’s financial condition, business, operations and prospects, the market price of the Common Stock, conditions in the securities markets generally, general economic and industry conditions, Hapfus’ business objectives and other relevant factors, at any time to change plans and intentions regarding the investment in the Issuer described in this Schedule 13D, as each Reporting Person may deem appropriate. Such changes may include, and each of the Reporting Persons reserves the right to effect (or seek to effect), at any time and from time to time in any single transaction or series of transactions, in each case subject to any applicable legal and contractual restrictions on his or its ability to do so, any or all of the following actions:

 

  (a) purchasing additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise;

 

  (b) selling some or all of the Reporting Persons’ shares of Common Stock or other Issuer securities on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise;

 

  (c) extraordinary corporate transactions, including, without limitation, mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, recapitalizations, sales or transfers of assets, reorganizations or liquidations involving the Issuer;

 

  (d) sale or transaction of a material amount of assets of the Issuer;


SCHEDULE 13D

 

CUSIP No. 456132208     Page 8 of 10 Pages

 

  (e) compositional changes to the board of directors or management of the Issuer as described herein and otherwise;

 

  (f) material changes in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer;

 

  (g) material changes in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure;

 

  (h) changes to the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws and other organizational documents;

 

  (i) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange;

 

  (j) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act; and

 

  (k) taking all such additional actions as the Reporting Persons deem necessary or advisable to effectuate the foregoing objectives, and which the Reporting Persons believe are reasonably related thereto.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a), (b) The percentages used herein are calculated based upon 149,000,280 outstanding shares of Common Stock, calculated as follows: 26,000,000 shares represented as issued and outstanding according to the Issuer’s Press Release dated November 7, 2007, increased by the 121,500,280 shares awarded to the Seller by a court on March 3, 2009 and the 1,500,000 shares issued to Black Nickel Vision Fund, LLC on or about May 12, 2008, according to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 29, 2009.

As of the date of this Schedule 13D, Hapfus may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 105,500,281 shares of Common Stock, constituting 70.8% of the outstanding Common Stock. Hapfus has shared voting and dispositive power over all such shares with its managers, the Family Trust and the Irrevocable Trust, and their Trustee, Mr. Segundo.

As of the date of this Schedule 13D, the Irrevocable Trust may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 106,308,663 shares of Common Stock, constituting 71.3% of the outstanding Common Stock. The Irrevocable Trust has shared voting and dispositive power over all such shares (808,382 of which shares are owned in its name and over which it has shared voting and dispositive power with its sole Trustee, Mr. Segundo, and 105,500,281 shares over which it has shared voting and dispositive power with Hapfus).

As of the date hereof, the Family Trust may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 106,169,181 shares of Common Stock, constituting 71.3% of the outstanding Common Stock. The Family Trust has shared voting and dispositive power over all such shares (668,900 of which shares are owned in its name and over which it has shared voting and dispositive power with its sole Trustee, Mr. Segundo, and 105,500,281 shares over which it has shared voting and dispositive power with Hapfus).

As of the date hereof, Ernest C. Segundo, Jr. may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 107,515,609 shares of Common Stock, constituting 72.2% of the outstanding Common Stock. Mr. Segundo has sole voting and dispositive power over 37,750 shares held in certain personal accounts. Mr. Segundo has shared voting and dispositive power over 107,477,859 shares (105,500,281 of which shares over which he has shared voting and dispositive power with Hapfus, as the sole Trustee of each of its managers, 808,382 shares over which he has shared voting and dispositive power with the Irrevocable Trust, as its sole Trustee, 668,900 shares over which he has shared voting and dispositive power with the Family Trust, as its sole Trustee, and 500,296 shares which are held in the account of a family member (the “Family Member Account”) and over which Mr. Segundo has shared voting and dispositive power with such family member).

Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock described above except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein.

(c) Other than as contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions in respect of the Common Stock in the past 60 days.


SCHEDULE 13D

 

CUSIP No. 456132208     Page 9 of 10 Pages

 

(d) The right to receive dividends on, and proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock which may be beneficially owned by the Irrevocable Trust and the Family Trust, is governed by the trust agreements of each such entity, as applicable, and subject to the discretion of the trustee for each trust, such dividends or proceeds may be distributed to the beneficiaries in accordance with their respective interests. With respect to the Family Member Account, the family member described above has the right to receive dividends on, and proceeds from the sale of the shares held in such Family Member Account.

(e) Not applicable

1  The Debtors are: Pitt Penn Holding Co. (Case No. 09-11475), Pitt Penn Oil Co. LLC (Case No. 09-11476), Industrial Enterprises of America, Inc. (Case No. 09-11508), EMC Packaging, Inc. (Case No. 09-11524), Today’s Way Manufacturing LLC (Case No. 09-11586), and Unifide Industries LLC (Case No. 09-11587).
2  The Plan Proponent files this second amended plan to, inter alia, incorporate the settlement with Beryl Zyskind, as set forth herein, and to clarify the treatment of Class F.


This Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization for Industrial Enterprise of America, Inc., and its subsidiaries (the “Plan”) is filed pursuant to Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) by OMTAMMOT, LLC (the “Plan Proponent”), the secured lender to the Debtors in the above-captioned chapter 11 bankruptcy cases. The Plan is proposed on behalf of each of Pitt Penn Holding Co. (Case No. 09-11475), Pitt Penn Oil Co. LLC (Case No. 09-11476), Industrial Enterprises of America, Inc. (Case No. 09-11508), EMC Packaging, Inc. (Case No. 09-11524), Today’s Way Manufacturing LLC (Case No. 09-11586), and Unifide Industries LLC (Case No. 09-11587) (each, a “Debtor,” and collectively, the “Debtors”). The purpose of the Plan is to resolve all outstanding Claims against, and Interests in, all of the Debtors in each of their chapter 11 cases.

The Plan provides for the payment in full (including appropriate post-petition interest) of all Allowed Claims of Claimants against Industrial Enterprises of America, Inc. (“IEAM”), the retention of common stock by all common stockholders of IEAM, and the treatment of all Allowed subordinated Claims against IEAM consistent with section 510(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Under the terms of the Plan, and other than with respect to Claims of the Plan Proponent, all Allowed Claims against and Allowed Interests in IEAM are unimpaired. Accordingly, pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, all holders of Claims against and Interests in IEAM are conclusively deemed to have accepted the Plan and are not entitled to vote on the Plan.

With respect to each of the remaining Debtors (the “Subsidiary Debtors”), the Plan provides for payment in full of all Allowed Administrative Claims, Allowed Priority Tax Claims, and Allowed Non-Tax Priority Claims against each such Subsidiary Debtor, and provides a 30% distribution to Allowed General Unsecured Claims against each such Subsidiary Debtor in settlement of all asserted issues pertaining to substantive consolidation and/or intercompany claims.

The Plan constitutes a separate chapter 11 plan for each Debtor. If the Plan does not receive sufficient accepting votes from eligible Claimants of one or more of the Subsidiary Debtors, the Plan Proponent will nonetheless seek confirmation of the Plan with respect to (i) IEAM and (ii) any of the Subsidiary Debtors for which sufficient accepting votes from eligible Claimants are received.

Moreover, if no holder of a Claim in a Class of Claims eligible to vote in a particular Class timely submits a ballot to accept or reject the Plan, then the applicable Class will be deemed to have accepted the Plan. Accordingly, you should timely submit a ballot accepting or rejecting the Plan for any such Class.

The Plan constitutes the Plan Proponent’s request for confirmation of the Plan with respect to each of the Debtors.

Please refer to the Disclosure Documents (as defined below) for further information regarding this Plan and competing plans.

2.1 Intercompany Settlement; Elimination of Intercompany Claims.

ARTICLE 3: TREATMENT OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS

Nothing in this Plan, or the Disclosure Documents (including any liquidation analysis), or any addenda, amendments, exhibits, or supplements shall be deemed an admission by the Plan Proponent or the Debtors, or evidence of, the validity, priority, amount (or secured validity, priority or extent) of any Claim or Interest, and the Plan Proponent and the Reorganized Debtors fully reserve their right to object to any Claim or Interest on any and all grounds whatsoever.

3.1 Administrative Claims. Except to the extent that an Allowed Administrative Claim has been paid prior to the Effective Date, each holder of an Allowed Administrative Claim shall receive payment of the amount of such Allowed Administrative Claim in Cash on the Effective Date, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, or immediately after entry of an order approving an application therefor if after the Effective Date, in full satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of, and in exchange for, such Allowed Administrative Claim.

3.2 Priority Tax Claims. Except to the extent that an Allowed Priority Tax Claim has been paid prior to the Effective Date, each holder of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim shall receive in full satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of, and in exchange for, such Allowed Priority Tax Claim, equal monthly payments over a period of five (5) years from the Petition Date in an aggregate principal amount equal to the face amount of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim, with interest on the unpaid portion thereof at the rate of interest determined under applicable nonbankruptcy law as of the calendar month in which the Plan is confirmed.

3.3 Class A. Non-Tax Priority Claims. Except to the extent that an Allowed Non-Tax Priority Claim has been paid prior to the Effective Date, each holder of an Allowed Non-Tax Priority Claim shall receive in full satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of, and in exchange for, such Allowed Non-Tax Priority Claim, payment of the amount of such Non-Tax Priority Claim in Cash on the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable.

3.4 Class B. Existing IEAM Interests. Existing IEAM Interests are unimpaired and the holders of such Interests shall retain their Interests in Reorganized IEAM.

3.5 Class C. Existing Non-IEAM Interests. Existing Non-IEAM Interests are unimpaired and the holders of such Interests shall retain their Interests in Reorganized Debtors other than Reorganized IEAM.

 

3  For purposes of tabulating votes on the Plan, the acceptances or rejection of Class F claimants shall be measured on a debtor-by-debtor basis.

 

10


3.6 Class D. Prepetition Lender Secured Claims. The holder of the Allowed Prepetition Lender Secured Claims shall receive, in full satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of and in exchange for, such Allowed Prepetition Lender Secured Claims, the New Secured Note.

3.7 Class E. IEAM General Unsecured Claims. On the Effective Date, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, each holder of an Allowed IEAM General Unsecured Claim, which shall include the Allowed Zyskind Claim, shall receive in full satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of, and in exchange for, such Allowed General Unsecured Claim, Cash equal to 100% of the amount of such Allowed IEAM General Unsecured Claim, plus Postpetition Interest at the Plan Rate. Any holder of an Allowed Class E Claim seeking (a) payment of Postpetition Interest on such holder’s Claim at a rate other than the Plan Rate or (b) reimbursement of attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses associated with such holder’s Claim (or both) shall file a motion (an “Interest Motion”) seeking such relief within 30 days after the Effective Date. Any such Interest Motion must include all of the documentation upon which the Claimant relies to establish the Claimant’s entitlement to (a) Postpetition Interest at a rate other than the Plan Rate and (b) attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses. The inclusion of the entitlement to these types of claims in a proof of claim shall not be sufficient to establish such claims without the timely filing of an Interest Motion. The Reorganized Debtors and/or the Plan Proponent shall have 60 days after the filing of an Interest Motion to resolve any such objection thereto without need of Bankruptcy Court approval in which case the Reorganized Debtors and/or the Plan Proponent shall file with the Bankruptcy Court a notice that the matter has been resolved; provided, however, that the Bankruptcy Court retains jurisdiction to resolve such matters in the event the Reorganized Debtors and/or the Plan Proponent and the Claimant cannot reach an agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Prepetition Lender Secured Claims shall receive interest in accordance with the New Secured Note.

3.8 Class F. Subsidiary General Unsecured Claims. On the Effective Date, or soon as reasonably practical thereafter, each holder of an Allowed Subsidiary General Unsecured Claim, shall receive in full satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of, and in exchange for, such Allowed Subsidiary General Unsecured Claim, Cash in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of $1 million. Based upon the information provided in the Debtors’ Disclosure Statement, the estimated Allowed Unsecured Claims against each Subsidiary Debtor are approximately $2.9 million. Accordingly, it is estimated that each holder of an Allowed Unsecured Claim against each Subsidiary Debtor will receive approximately 33% of their Allowed Claim under the Plan. However, this anticipated percentage recovery could increase or decrease depending upon the results of the Claim objection process.

3.9 Class G. IEAM Subordinated Claims. To the extent that monetary damages are assessed against IEAM arising from any claim for damages for the purchase or sale of any securities of any of IEAM, and to the extent such damages are not paid by any insurance, then in accordance with the provisions of Section 510(b) of the Code, the holders of such monetary damages claims shall receive, to the extent of such claims are Allowed, in full satisfaction settlement, release and discharge of, and in exchange for, such Allowed IEAM Subordinated Claim, a pro rata number of Shares of Common Stock in Reorganized IEAM on account of such Allowed IEAM Subordinated Claim.

 

11


3.10 Intercompany Settlement. The Intercompany Settlement provided herein represents a compromise of all potential or alleged Claims between IEAM and the Subsidiary Debtors, and provides for a meaningful recovery to Claimants of the Subsidiary Debtors, without the uncertainty, risk and cost of litigation. The Plan Proponent believes that, absent the Intercompany Settlement contained herein, the holders of Subsidiary General Unsecured Claims would not be entitled to receive any distributions under the Plan due to the lack of unencumbered assets at the Subsidiary Debtors.

3.11 General Provision Applicable to All Classes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan specifying a date or time for the distribution of any payment to any holder of a Claim or Interest, payments and distributions in respect of any Claim or Interest which at such date or time is disputed, unliquidated or contingent shall not be made until such Claim or Interest becomes an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest, whereupon such payments shall be made promptly in accordance with this section. Except as otherwise explicitly provided in the Plan, nothing shall affect the Plan Proponents’, the Reorganized Debtors’ or any party in interest’s rights or defenses, both legal and equitable, with respect to any Claims, and the rights of such Persons to object to the allowance of any Claim is hereby expressly preserved.

4.7 Preservation and Pursuit of Causes of Action, Including Avoidance Actions. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or in any contract, agreement or other document entered into in connection with the Plan, in accordance with Bankruptcy Code section 1123(b), on the Effective Date, Reorganized IEAM shall retain all of the respective Causes of Action, including all Avoidance Actions, that Reorganized IEAM (and the Subsidiary Debtors) may hold against any Person, including, but not limited to, those Causes of Action set forth on the attached Schedule A and in one or more schedules or exhibits to be filed with the Plan Supplement. Reorganized IEAM may enforce, sue on, settle, or compromise all such Causes of Action, or may decline to do any of the foregoing with respect to any such Causes of Action. The failure of Reorganized IEAM to specifically list any Causes of Action in the Plan or in the schedule(s)/exhibit(s) to the Plan Supplement does not, and will not be deemed to, constitute a waiver or release by Reorganized IEAM of such Causes of Action, and Reorganized IEAM shall retain the right to pursue additional Causes of Action. Reorganized IEAM, or its respective successors, may pursue all such retained Causes of Action as appropriate, in accordance with the best interests of Reorganized IEAM or its successors who retain such actions in accordance with applicable law and consistent with the terms of the Plan.

The Plan incorporates the Zyskind Settlement, pursuant to which Zyskind shall have the Allowed Zyskind Claim in the amount of $4,700,000, which shall be paid in full on the Effective Date, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, in full and final satisfaction of the Zyskind Claims. The Zyskind Settlement is memorialized in two principal documents: (1) the Restructuring and Plan Support Agreement between Omtammot, LLC and Zyskind (the “RSA”) (attached hereto as Exhibit B) pursuant to which Zyskind also agreed to vote in favor of the Plan and to not support the competing plan filed by the Debtors; and (2) the Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) (attached hereto as Exhibit C) between Hapfus, LLC and Zyskind, pursuant to which Zyskind has agreed to sell his shares in the Reorganized IEAM to Hapfus, LLC, an entity controlled by Ernest C. Segundo, Jr. Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute approval of the Zyskind Settlement and the terms of the RSA and SPA.

4.9 Reservation of Rights. The foregoing means of implementation of the Plan, including the terms of the New Secured Note, are being proposed based on the information contained in the Debtors’ Disclosure Statement and Schedules and Statements of Financial Affairs. To the extent that such information is inaccurate, the means of implementation set forth herein may be amended. Any such changes to the means of implementation will be included in the Plan Supplement.

 

ARTICLE 5: EFFECT OF CONFIRMATION; DISCHARGE

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, in accordance with Bankruptcy Code section 1141, on the Effective Date: (a) the property of each Debtor’s estate that is not otherwise specifically disposed of pursuant to the Plan shall vest in the Reorganized Debtors free and clear of all Claims, Liens and other interests of all holders of Claims and Interests, except as set forth in the Plan or as modified by the terms of the Plan and (b) each Debtor shall be discharged from each and every Claim and debt that arose before the Confirmation Date, and each and every Claim and debt of a kind specified in Bankruptcy Code section 502; provided, however, that any pre-existing, perfected, valid lien on any such property which has not been dealt with in the Plan shall remain in place. On the Effective Date, all

 

14


Claims shall be automatically deemed channeled, transferred, and attached solely and exclusively to the Reorganized Debtors, and the sole and exclusive right and remedy available to Creditors shall be the entitlement, in accordance with the Plan, to assert Claims solely and exclusively against the Reorganized Debtors.

 

ARTICLE 6: EXEMPTION FROM SECURITIES LAWS

The issuance of Reorganized IEAM’s common stock to holders of Allowed IEAM Subordinated Claims is offered under a Plan of the Debtors in exchange for a Claim against, and Interest in, or a Claim for an administrative expense in the Debtors’ cases and therefore pursuant to Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 and any state or local law requiring registration for offer or sale of a security does not apply to the issuance of such common stock.

 

ARTICLE 7: RESOLUTION OF DISPUTED CLAIMS AND INTEREST AND RESERVES

7.1 Claims Objection Deadline. The deadline to object to Claims or Interests (the “Claims Objection Deadline”) shall be (a) the later of (i) 270 days after the Effective Date or (ii) 180 days after the filing of the Claim or Interest for, or request for payment of, such Claim or Interest or (b) such other date as the Bankruptcy Court may order. The filing of a motion to extend the Claims Objection Deadline shall automatically extend the Claims Objection Deadline until a Final Order is entered on such motion. In the event that such motion to extend the Claims Objection Deadline is denied, the Claims Objection Deadline shall be the later of the then current Claims Objection Deadline (as previously extended, if applicable) or 30 days after the Bankruptcy Court’s entry of an order denying the motion to extend the Claims Objection Deadline.

7.2 Prosecution of Claims Objections. All objections to Claims or Interests must be filed and served on the holders of such Claims or Interests by the Claims Objection Deadline, as the same may be extended by the Bankruptcy Court. If an objection has not been filed to a Claim or Interest or the Schedules have not been amended with respect to a Claim or Interest that was Scheduled by the Debtors, but was not Scheduled as contingent, unliquidated, and/or disputed, by the Claims Objection Deadline, as the same may be extended by order of the Bankruptcy Court, the Claim to which the proof of claim or Scheduled Claim relates will be treated as an Allowed Claim if such Claim has not been allowed earlier, and such Interest will be an Allowed Interest if not previously allowed. Notice of any motion for an order extending the Claims Objection Deadline shall be required to be given only to those Entities that have requested notice in the Chapter 11 Cases, or to such Entities as the Bankruptcy Court may order. From the Confirmation Date through the Claims Objection Deadline, Reorganized IEAM shall have the exclusive authority to file objections, settle, compromise, withdraw, or litigate to judgment objections to Claims.

7.3 Provisions Governing Disputed Claims. Until such time as a Disputed Claim or Interest shall have become an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest as the case may be, the holder of such Disputed Claim or Interest will not participate in any distributions made to other members of its Class. On the Effective Date, Reorganized IEAM shall establish a Disputed

 

15


Claims and Interest Reserve and shall reserve for the account of each holder of a Disputed Claim or Interest, the amount of Cash or common stock which would otherwise be distributable to such holder were such Disputed Claim or Interest an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest on the Effective Date or such other amount as the holder of such Disputed Claim or Interest in Reorganized IEAM may agree upon or be established by the Bankruptcy Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Reorganized IEAM may request the Bankruptcy Court to conduct proceedings to estimate the value of any Disputed Claim or Interest and, based thereon, authorize Reorganized IEAM to reserve the amount of Cash which would otherwise be distributable to the holder of such Claim or Interest deemed an Allowed Amount on the Effective Date in the amount or nature claimed. The Cash or common stock so reserved for the holder of such disputed Claims or Interests such shall be distributed to such holders, solely to the extent that such Disputed Claim or Interest shall be allowed and therefore become an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest.

7.4 Post-Effective Date Interest on Disputed Claims That Become Allowed Claims. In the event that any portion of a Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, the Allowed Amount of such Claim shall include interest at 3% per annum from the Effective Date until such Allowed Claim is paid in full.

7.5 Retention of Excess Cash and Interests by Reorganized IEAM. As each disputed Claim or Interest becomes an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest, any Cash or common stock reserved for, but not distributed to, the holder of such claim or interest as a consequence of the Allowed Amount of such Claim or Interest having been fixed at less than the face amount thereof shall be retained by Reorganized IEAM.

7.6 Fractional Distributions. Whenever any payment of a fraction of a cent would otherwise be called for, the actual payment shall be in an amount equal to a rounding of such fraction to the nearest whole cent (rounding down in case of fractions of 0.5 or less).

7.7 Final Distributions; Satisfaction of Claims. Upon final distribution of all amounts required to be paid under this Plan, all Claims against the Reorganized Debtors shall be deemed fully and finally satisfied, settled, released and discharged with prejudice.

7.8 Unnegotiated Distributions. Distributions shall be mailed to the most current of the following addresses for each Claimant: (a) for Schedules Claims for which no proof of claim has been filed, to the address listed on the Debtors’ Schedules or the Debtors’ books and records; (b) for filed proofs of claim, to the address listed on the proof of claim for distribution purposes, and if no such address is listed, to the noticing address listed; or (c) the address provided to Reorganized IEAM by the Claimant. Any distribution check that is returned undeliverable or otherwise not negotiated within ninety (90) days after issuance shall be deemed void and the funds represented by such check shall be retained by Reorganized IEAM, and the Allowed Claim on account of which such distribution check was issued will be deemed disallowed and expunged.

ARTICLE 8: RETENTION OF JURISDICTION

(h) To determine such other matters and for such other purposes as may be provided in the Confirmation Order or otherwise deemed appropriate to accomplish its intents and purposes;

(i) To enforce all orders, judgments, injunctions, releases, exculpations, indemnifications and rulings entered in connection with these Cases and the Plan;

(j) To recover all assets of the Debtors and property of the Debtors’ estates;

(k) To adjudicate all Litigation Cases and Causes of Action brought in the Bankruptcy Court either prior to or subsequent to the Effective Date; and

(l) To enter a final decree closing one or more of these Cases.

 

ARTICLE 9: EXECUTORY CONTRACTS

9.1 Deemed Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases Upon Confirmation. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, or in any contract, agreement or other document entered into in connection with the Plan, as of the Confirmation Date each of the Debtors shall be deemed to have rejected all executory contracts and unexpired leases other than

 

17


those specifically assumed on or before the Confirmation Date, or entered into during the Chapter 11 Proceedings, or that are otherwise subject to a motion to assume that is pending on or before the Confirmation Date, pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1123(b)(2), or identified in a schedule to the Plan Supplement as a contract or lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan, and not removed from such Schedule prior to the Effective Date.

9.2 Rejection Damages Bar Date. If the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease gives rise to a Rejection Damages Claim, such Rejection Damages Claim shall be forever barred and shall not be enforceable against the Reorganized Debtors or their estates, or their respective successors or properties unless a proof of claim shall be filed with the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court, within thirty (30) days after the Contract is deemed rejected. If a Rejection Damages Claim becomes an Allowed Claim then it shall be classified as either an IEAM General Unsecured Claim or a Subsidiary General Unsecured Claim, as the case may be, pursuant to the Plan.

 

ARTICLE 10: CONFIRMATION WITHOUT ACCEPTANCE

In the event that any Impaired Class does not accept the Plan as provided in Bankruptcy Code section 1129(a)(8)(A), the Plan Proponent hereby requests the Bankruptcy Court to confirm the Plan pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1129(b).

The Plan Proponent and all of its respective current and past members, officers, directors, employees, advisors, attorneys, representatives, financial advisors, investment bankers, agents, or affiliates and any of such parties’ successors and assigns, shall not have or incur, and are hereby released from any claim, obligation, cause of action, or liability whatsoever, to one another and to any holder of a Claim or Interest, or any other party in interest, or any of their respective current or past members, officers, directors, employees, advisors, attorneys, representatives, financial advisors, investment bankers, agents, or affiliates, and any of their successors or assigns, for any act or omission in connection with, relating to, or arising out of the Chapter 11 Cases, the negotiation, solicitation and filing of this Plan, the settlement of Claims or Interests, the pursuit of confirmation of this Plan, the consummation of the Plan, or the administration of this Plan or the property to be distributed under this Plan, except for their willful misconduct or gross negligence or any obligations that they have expressly assumed under or in connection with this Plan.

 

ARTICLE 12: INJUNCTION

All entities which have held, hold, or may hold Claims against any of the Debtors, are permanently enjoined, on and after the Effective Date, from (a) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding of any kind with respect to any such Claim, (b) the enforcement, attachment, collection or recovery by any manner or means of any judgment, award, decree or order against any of the Debtors on account of any such Claim, (c) creating, perfecting or enforcing any encumbrance of any kind against any of the Debtors or against the property or interest in property of any of the Debtors on

  (2) The Buyer shall have received documentation from IEAM or IEAM’s transfer agent confirming that (i) the Purchase Shares are not evidenced by paper stock certificates and (ii) the Purchase Shares are duly recorded in a valid electronic direct registration system and are registered in the name of the Buyer (the “Buyer Direct Registration Ownership Documentation”); and

 

  (3) Prior to the receipt by the Buyer of the Buyer Record Ownership Documentation or the Buyer Direct Registration Ownership Documentation, neither IEAM nor any person shall have: (a) questioned the validity or the voting rights of the Purchase Shares or the validity or effectiveness of the Buyer’s Proxy or (b) otherwise engaged in direct or indirect conduct that could reasonably be expected to result in invalidating or adversely affecting the voting rights of the Purchase Shares or the Buyer’s Proxy (individually, an “Adverse Stock Action”); and

  (4) The United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) enters in IEAM’s pending Chapter 11 case an order confirming the Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization for Industrial Enterprises of America, Inc. and its Subsidiaries proposed by Omtammot, LLC, as amended by the Restructuring and Plan Support Agreement dated the same date as this Agreement between the Seller and Omtammot LLC, an affiliate of the Buyer (the “Restructuring and Support Agreement”), as such plan may be further amended, the “Omtammot Plan.”

 

  (b) The Seller’s obligations to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are subject to the satisfaction or the waiver in writing by the Seller of one of the following conditions:

 

  (1) The Bankruptcy Court enters an order confirming the Omtammot Plan on or before the later of: (i) 120 days after the execution of this Agreement or (ii) 60 days after the entry of an order appointing a chapter 11 trustee or, alternatively,

 

  (2) If the Bankruptcy Court enters an order:

(a) confirming a plan other than the Omtammot Plan, or

(b) denying confirmation of the Omtammot Plan, or

(c) converting the pending IEAM Chapter 11 case to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, or

(d) dismissing the pending IEAM Chapter 11 case,

and any such orders are not vacated on or before the date that is sixty days after the execution of this Agreement, then within five (5) business days after the expiration of said sixty day period, the Buyer exercises its option to purchase the “Zyskind Claim” (as that term is defined in the Restructuring and Support Agreement) and remits payment to Seller in accordance with Section 4 of the Restructuring and Support Agreement.

1.5 Deliveries at the Closing. At the Closing, the Buyer shall deliver the Closing Cash Payment to the Seller.

1.6 No Closing Held. If each of the foregoing conditions precedent are not either satisfied or waived by the applicable party on the terms set forth in Section 1.4, the parties will not proceed to Closing and this Agreement will terminate and the Buyer and

the Seller shall thereupon be released of their obligations under this Agreement. Upon the return to the Buyer of the Initial Cash Payment, the Buyer shall return to the Seller the Proxy, which upon such return shall have no force or effect.

2. Representations and Warranties of the Buyer. The Buyer hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Seller that:

2.1 Authorization. The Buyer has full power and authority to enter into and perform the Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement and complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and this Agreement constitutes the Buyer’s valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.

2.2 No Violation; Compliance with Other Instruments. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Buyer and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in any violation of any judgment, order, writ, decree, statute, rule or regulation to which the Buyer is subject or any agreement, contract, or other instrument to which the Buyer is a party or by which the Buyer is bound or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time or giving of notice, either a default under any such provision, that, in each of the foregoing instances, would be reasonably likely to substantially interfere with or prevent the sale and purchase of the Purchase Shares and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In particular, Omtammot, LLC, an affiliate of the Buyer is a party to that certain letter agreement dated April 7, 2010, concerning, among other things, the possible return by the Seller to IEAM of all or substantially all of the Purchase Shares (the “April 2010 Letter Agreement”), but the terms and conditions of the April 2010 Letter Agreement were not satisfied.

2.3 No Governmental Consents. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any federal, state or local governmental authority on the part of the Buyer is required as a pre-condition to the valid and binding consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

2.4 No Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending, or, to the Buyer’s knowledge, currently threatened against the Buyer that questions the validity of this Agreement or the right of the Buyer to enter into this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

2.5 Information; No Reliance on Seller. In arriving at the decision to buy the Purchase Shares from the Seller, the Buyer has relied solely on information regarding IEAM’s bankruptcy proceedings, financial condition and future prospects the Buyer obtained from sources other than the Seller, except for the Seller’s representations, warranties, covenants and undertakings in this Agreement upon each of which the Buyer has relied. In this regard, the Buyer acknowledges that the Buyer had the right and ample opportunity, prior to entering into this Agreement and buying the Purchase Shares, to obtain sufficient information about IEAM to arrive at an informed decision about the purchase of the Purchase Shares and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

4


The Buyer specifically confirms that, in arriving at the Buyer’s decision to enter into this Agreement and complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Buyer has not relied on any written or oral statements made or omitted to be made or provided by the Seller, the Seller’s affiliates or the Seller’s agents, except for the Seller’s representations, warranties, covenants and undertakings in this Agreement upon each of which the Buyer has relied.

3. Representations and Warranties of the Seller. The Seller hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Buyer that:

3.1 Authority and Authorization. The Seller has full power and authority to enter into and perform the Seller’s obligations under this Agreement and complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and this Agreement constitutes the Seller’s valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.

3.2 Ownership of Purchase Shares. The Seller is the record and sole beneficial owner of the Purchase Shares, being 105,500,281 shares of IEAM common stock, and the Seller has maintained such ownership continuously for not less than three years prior to the date of this Agreement. The Purchase Shares were initially represented by paper stock certificates. On or about August 21, 2009, the Seller submitted the stock certificates evidencing the Purchase Shares to IEAM and IEAM’s transfer agent to have such certificates replaced by direct electronic registration of the Purchase Shares in the Seller’s name under IEAM’s direct registration system (DRS). The Seller has continued to maintain the ownership of the Purchase Shares in DRS status continuously since August 21, 2009. The Seller has provided to the Buyer prior to the execution of this Agreement with true and correct copies of all correspondence, certificates or documents (whether received via regular mail, fax or email) received by the Seller from IEAM or IEAM’s transfer agent regarding the Purchase Shares or the status of the Purchase Shares in DRS status or as evidenced by paper stock certificates.

3.3 Free of Liens, Etc. The Seller has not subjected any of the Purchase Shares to any lien, mortgage, encumbrance, charge, claim, option to purchase, restriction or other rights or interest of third persons of any kind (including to affiliates of the Seller), except as has been separately disclosed in a written instrument delivered to the Buyer no later than three business days prior to the date of this Agreement and which, in every instance, has been satisfied, extinguished or otherwise removed from affecting any of the Purchase Shares. For purposes of this Agreement, “encumbrance” shall mean any charge, claim, community or other marital property interest, condition, equitable interest, lien, license, option, pledge, security interest, mortgage, right of first offer or first refusal, buy/sell agreement and any other restriction or covenant with respect to, or governing the use, voting, transfer, receipt of income or exercise of any other attribute of ownership. In this regard, the Seller will sell and transfer all of the Seller’s legal and equitable right, title and interest in the Purchase Shares to the Buyer free and clear of lien, mortgage, encumbrance, charge, claim, option to purchase, restriction or rights or other interest of third persons of any kind (including affiliates of the Seller) and the Buyer will thereby acquire good and marketable title to and beneficial and record ownership of the Purchase Shares.

3.4 No Violation; Compliance with Other Instruments. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Seller and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in any violation of any judgment, order, writ, decree, statute, rule or regulation to which the Seller is subject or any agreement, contract, or other instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which the Seller is bound or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time or giving of notice, either a default under any such provision or an event that results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon the Purchase Shares, or that otherwise might be reasonably likely to significantly interfere with or prevent the sale and purchase of the Purchase Shares and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In particular, the Seller is a party to the April 2010 Letter Agreement, but the terms and conditions of the April 2010 Letter agreement were not satisfied.

3.5 No Governmental Consents. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any federal, state or local governmental authority on the part of the Seller is required as a pre-condition to the valid and binding consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

3.6 No Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending, or to the Seller’s knowledge, currently threatened against the Seller that questions the validity of this Agreement or the right of the Seller to enter into this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

3.7 No Bankruptcy. The Seller: (i) has not and does not intend to make an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) is not insolvent (on a balance sheet or income statement approach); (iii) has not been adjudicated as bankrupt; (iv) has not and does not intend to file a voluntary petition for relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code, a pre-packaged bankruptcy, or seek any other relief under any other similar law or statute of the United States or any state; and (v) is not subject to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy or any similar proceeding.

3.8 Information; No Reliance on Buyer. In arriving at the decision to sell the Purchase Shares to the Buyer, the Seller has relied solely on information regarding IEAM’s bankruptcy proceedings, financial condition and future prospects the Seller obtained from sources other than the Buyer, except for the Buyer’s representations, warranties, covenants and undertakings in this Agreement upon each of which the Seller has relied. In this regard, the Seller acknowledges that the Seller had the right and ample opportunity, prior to entering into this Agreement and selling the Purchase Shares, to obtain sufficient information about IEAM to arrive at an informed decision about the sale of the Purchase Shares and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Seller specifically confirms that, in arriving at the Seller’s decision to enter into this Agreement and complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Seller has not relied on any written or oral statements made or omitted to be made or provided by the Buyer, the Buyer’s affiliates or the Buyer’s agents, except for the Buyer’s representations, warranties, covenants and undertakings in this Agreement upon each of which the Seller has relied.

4. Miscellaneous.

4.1 Further Assurances. If at any time after the Closing any further action is necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the parties will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as any other party may reasonably request, all at the sole cost and expense of the requesting party (unless the requesting party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Section 4.3 below). The Seller specifically covenants and agrees that following the execution of this Agreement, the Seller shall, at his sole cost and expense, use his commercially reasonable best efforts in his capacity as the record owner of the Purchase Shares to cause IEAM and IEAM’s transfer agent to deliver to the Buyer either the Buyer Record Ownership Documentation or the Buyer Direct Registration Ownership Documentation. In furtherance of the foregoing obligation, the Seller shall not be required to expend or incur costs in excess of $5,000. Provided, however, the Seller shall continue to use his commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the delivery of either the Buyer Record Ownership Documentation or the Buyer Direct Registration Ownership Documentation even after the expenditure of $5,000 in costs if the Buyer pays for the costs in excess of $5,000.

4.2 Survival. The warranties, representations and covenants and agreements of the Buyer and the Seller contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing, and any investigation made at any time, until the last to occur of the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations or for a period of one (1) year.

4.3 Indemnification. The Seller hereby agrees to indemnify the Buyer in respect of any and all claims, losses and expenses which may be incurred by the Buyer arising out of: (i) any breach by the Seller of any of the Seller’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made in this Agreement regarding the Seller’s ownership of or past or future dealings with the Purchase Shares; and (ii) any action, suit, proceeding, assessment or judgment arising out of or incident to any of the matters indemnified against in this Section 4.3, including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (during investigation or indemnified matters prior to the assertion of an indemnification claim hereunder and regardless of whether trial is instituted and at trial or in appellate proceedings). The indemnification provided by Section 4.3(i) above shall be limited to the amount of the Aggregate Consideration actually received by the Seller. The indemnification provided by Section 4.3(ii) above regarding the costs and expenses of any suit, action or proceeding for which indemnification is provided shall be limited to $50,000.

4.4 Successors and Assigns. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. The Buyer may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to an affiliate of the Buyer with the financial wherewithal to perform the Buyer’s obligations hereunder. Any other assignment of rights, obligations, or interests under this Agreement may be made only upon the prior written consent of the other party. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party, other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

For those matters or disputes of any nature arising out of, connected with, related or incidental to this Agreement, the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit themselves to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Florida located in Hillsborough County, Florida and to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida for the purpose of bringing any action that may be brought in connection with the provisions hereof. The parties hereto hereby individually agree that they shall not assert any claim that they are not subject to the jurisdiction of such courts, that the venue is improper, that the forum is inconvenient or any similar objection, claim or argument. Service of process on either of the parties hereto with regard to any such action may be made by mailing the process to such party by regular or certified mail to the address of such Person set forth herein or to any subsequent address to which notices shall be sent or in any other manner permitted by applicable law. The parties acknowledge that all directions issued by the forum court, including all injunctions and other decrees, will be binding and enforceable in all jurisdictions and countries. Each party waives its rights to a trial by jury with respect to any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

4.6 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONJUNCTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF A PARTY HERETO.

4.8 Notices. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (i) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified; (ii) when received on the day of transmission if transmitted by telephone line facsimile transmission, Internet email or other similar electronic or digital transmission method, if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next business day; (iii) five days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (iv) one day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of delivery or receipt.

4.10 Severability and Interpretation. Any provision of this Agreement which is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prohibited, unenforceable or not authorized shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition, unenforceability or non-authorization without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity, enforceability or legality of such provision in any other jurisdiction. In any such case, such determination shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. If any provision or term of this Agreement is susceptible to two or more constructions or interpretations, one or more of which would render the provision or term void or unenforceable, the parties agree that a construction or interpretation which renders the term or provision valid shall be favored.

This Agreement (including the preamble and exhibits) and the documents referred to herein constitute the entire agreement among the parties concerning the subject of this Agreement and no party shall be liable or bound to any other party in any manner by any oral promises, statements, warranties, representations or covenants except as specifically set forth herein.

4.13 Specific Performance; Costs of Enforcement. Each party hereto agrees that damages at law will be an insufficient remedy to the other party hereto in the event that a party violates the terms of this Agreement, and that each party shall be entitled, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, to obtain injunctive relief to enforce the provisions hereof, which injunctive relief shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies available to such party. Each party agrees to pay to the prevailing party all costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing party relating to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement, including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (during investigation, before trial, at trial and in appellate proceedings).
