In consideration of the mutual representations and warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE 1

AMENDMENT TO INDEBTEDNESS

 

1.1 Determination of Working Capital Adjustment.

 

(a) The Investors shall cause the Company to prepare and deliver the Closing Date Balance Sheet at least three business days prior to the date of the closing of the Merger (the “Closing Date”). “Closing Date Balance Sheet” shall mean the estimated balance sheet of Company delivered to Issuer at least three business days prior to the Closing Date, that has been prepared in accordance with GAAP (except that the Closing Date Balance Sheet may omit footnotes and other presentation items that may be required by GAAP) applied on a basis consistent with the Company Balance Sheet (as defined in the Merger Agreement, the “Company Balance Sheet”) and that fairly presents an estimate by Company in good faith based on reasonable assumptions of the balance sheet of Company as of the Closing Date. The Closing Date Balance Sheet shall also set forth Company’s analysis of the Working Capital Adjustment calculated in accordance with Section 1.1(b).

 

(b) The “Working Capital Adjustment” will be the amount, if any, by which A exceeds B, where A is Company’s working capital on March 31, 2003 as set forth on the Company Balance Sheet and B is the sum of (i) the Company’s working capital on the Closing Date as derived from the Closing Date Balance Sheet, plus (ii) $1,341,000 (which is inclusive of $441,000 for severance for the following three individuals: Mr. David Moran, Mr. Haines Hargrett and Mr. Burt Smith) reduced by the aggregate amount of indebtedness for borrowed money incurred by the Company after March 31, 2003, plus (iii) the amount of revenue that Company would be able to recognize under MediaBin’s normal revenue recognition policy (which shall not be inconsistent with Issuer’s policy) for the period following the Closing Date but prior to the end of business on June 30, 2003. If the Merger closes after May 31, 2003, B shall be increased by 50% of the working capital expended by the Company in the ordinary course of business between June 1, 2003 and the Closing Date; provided that all transaction expenses (including all investment banking, legal and accounting fees and expenses), management severance payments shall reduce B for purposes of the Working Capital Adjustment dollar for dollar. For purposes of illustration, an example of the Working Capital Adjustment is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

(c) At any time prior to the 120th day following the Closing Date, Issuer may, at its election, cause to be prepared and delivered to the Representative (defined below) a notice that Issuer believes that the Closing Date Balance Sheet is incorrect (whether as a result of the inclusion of an asset, exclusion of a liability or an incorrect valuation of any asset or liability) and the

 

-2-


basis for such claim (an “Adjustment Notice”). Following delivery by Issuer to the Representative of an Adjustment Notice, Issuer shall give the Representative reasonable access during Issuer’s business hours to those books and records of the Surviving Corporation in the possession of Issuer and any personnel which relate to the preparation of the Adjustment Notice for purposes of resolving any disputes concerning the Adjustment Notice and the calculation of the Working Capital Adjustment.

 

(d) The Representative shall have 15 days following delivery of the Adjustment Notice during which to notify Issuer in writing (the “Notice of Objection”) of any good faith objections to the Adjustment Notice, setting forth a reasonably specific and detailed description of its objections and the dollar amount of each objection. If the Representative objects to the Adjustment Notice or Issuer’s calculation of Working Capital Adjustment at Closing based on the Adjustment Notice, Issuer and the Representative shall attempt to resolve any such objections within 10 days of the receipt by Issuer of the Notice of Objection.

 

(e) If Issuer and the Representative are unable to resolve any such dispute within the 10 day period following receipt of the Notice of Objection referred to in Section 1.1(d), Issuer and the Representative shall submit the dispute to PricewaterhouseCoopers (the “Independent Accounting Firm”). Each of the parties to this Agreement shall, and shall cause their respective affiliates and representatives to, provide full cooperation to the Independent Accounting Firm. The Independent Accounting Firm shall (x) act in its, capacity as an expert and not as an arbitrator, (y) consider only those matters as to which there is a dispute between the parties, and (z) be instructed to reach its conclusions regarding any such dispute within 20 days after its appointment and provide a written explanation of its decision. In the event that Issuer and the Representative submit any dispute to an Independent Accounting Firm, each such party may submit a “position paper” to the Independent Accounting Firm setting forth the position of such party with respect to such dispute, to be considered by such Independent Accounting Firm as it deems fit. Fifty percent of any expenses relating to the engagement of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be paid by Issuer and fifty percent of such expenses shall be paid by the Investors.

 

(f) If the Representative does not deliver a Notice of Objection in accordance with Section 1.1(d) hereof within a fifteen (15) day period, the Working Capital Adjustment reflected in such Adjustment Notice, shall be deemed to have been accepted by all of the parties to this Agreement. In the event that the Representative delivers a Notice of Objection in accordance with the provisions above and Issuer and the Representative are able to resolve such dispute by mutual agreement, the calculation of Working Capital Adjustment at Closing, to the extent modified by mutual agreement of such parties, shall be deemed to have been accepted by all of the parties to this Agreement. In the event that the Representative delivers a Notice of Objection in accordance with the provisions set forth above and Issuer and the Representative are unable to resolve such dispute by mutual agreement, the determination of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on the parties, and the Working Capital Adjustment at Closing, to the extent modified by the Independent Accounting Firm, shall be deemed to have been accepted by all of the parties to this Agreement. The calculation of the Working Capital Adjustment at Closing shall

 

-3-


reflect all adjustments pursuant to this Section 1.1(f). The Working Capital Adjustment as calculated in accordance with this Section 1.1(f) being the “Modified Working Capital Adjustment”.

 

1.2 Amendment to Instrument(s).

 

(a) Schedule 1.2(a) sets forth the following information with respect to each advance of Investor Debt: the amount of such advance to Company, the date such advance was made, the amount of accrued interest thereon (if any) and the due date thereof.

 

(b) Effective upon the closing of the Merger, the maturity date of each such advance shall be amended to be the Closing Date and any accrued interest therein shall be cancelled. All amounts required to be repaid to each Investor in respect of such Investor’s Investor Debt, after taking into account the adjustments set forth in this Section 1.2 and any conversion of Insider Debt into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1, other than the amount of Escrow under subsection (d) below, shall be paid to such Investor in cash on the Closing Date.

 

(c) Effective upon the closing of the Merger, the amount required to be repaid to the Investors pursuant to their Investor Debt shall be reduced by the sum of (i) the Working Capital Adjustment and (ii) the amount by which $500,000 exceeds the amounts collected under that certain account receivable from Elliott & Associates (the “Elliott A/R”), which invoice is attached hereto as Exhibit B (together with the Working Capital Adjustment, the “Debt Adjustment”, the net amount required to be repaid being collectively, the “Pay-Off Amount”).

 

(d) By virtue of this Agreement and as security for the accuracy of the Working Capital Adjustment calculated by Company in accordance with Section 1.1(b), on the Closing Date, the Investors will be deemed to have received and deposited with the Secretary of the Issuer acting as an escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) $300,000 of the Pay-Off Amount, or if the Pay-Off Amount is insufficient from the Share Payment (the “Escrow”), without any action by the Investors. Amounts held in the escrow account by the Escrow Agent shall be available to compensate Issuer for the amounts by which Modified Working Capital Adjustment exceeds the Working Capital Adjustment or for failure of an Investor from taking the actions required of it in accordance with Section 1.2(g). The Investors shall have interests in the escrow in proportion to the percentages set forth opposite such Investors’ name on Schedule 1 hereto (Escrow Percentage Contribution), unless otherwise directed by the Representative.

 

(e) Three business days prior to the Closing Date, Company shall provide Issuer with an update to Schedule 1.2(a) which shall estimate the information set forth on Schedule 1.2(a) as of the Closing Date, as adjusted by the Debt Adjustment and the Escrow, which update shall be attached to this Agreement as Schedule 1.2(e).

 

(f) The Investors hereby waive any notice of or other conditions to such prepayment which are otherwise required by the terms of the Investor Debt. The lesser of (i) the Pay-Off Amount reduced by the amount of the Escrow and (ii) $1,075,000, shall not be paid by

 

-4-


Issuer in cash in satisfaction of indebtedness but shall instead be credited against the purchase price of the Common Stock set forth in Section 2.1(a). Any payment in cash payable to any Investor shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by such Investor at least three business days prior to closing date of the Merger. The Representative shall provide the Issuer with written notice at least three business days prior to the Closing Date with the amounts to be paid to each Investor in cash for their Insider Debt, the amount each Investor will use to purchase shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.1(a) and the amount of each Investor’s Insider Debt that will be cancelled.

 

(g) Upon payment of the Pay-Off Amount (whether in cash and/or shares) and the deposit of the Escrow with the Escrow Agent, the Investors agree that, (i) each (A) agreement or note evidencing an advance to Company by an Investor, and (B) any other documents evidencing or securing the obligations of Company under such agreement or note (collectively with such agreements and notes, the “Loan Documents”) shall be terminated, and (ii) such Loan Documents are fully satisfied with respect to all outstanding principal, interest, fees, charges, penalties and other obligations or liabilities thereunder and shall be cancelled. In addition, the Investors agree that upon payment of the Pay-Off Amount (whether in cash and/or shares) and the deposit of the Escrow with the Escrow Agent, all security interests, mortgages and liens securing such Loan Documents shall be released automatically and the Investors, at Company’s sole cost and expense (including, without limitation, reimbursement for all reasonable counsel fees and expenses of the Investors in connection therewith) shall execute all necessary documentation, including any UCC-3 termination statements, to evidence the termination of its security interests in the assets of the Company and the Investors shall deliver to Company any collateral securing the Loan Documents in the possession of the Investors. The Investors shall execute, deliver and file all such instruments, certificates, agreements and documents as may be deemed necessary or appropriate to carry into effect the intent and purpose of this Agreement.

 

(h) The release of amounts from the Escrow shall be as set forth below:

 

(i) At any time that the Modified Working Capital Adjustment exceeds the Working Capital Adjustment set forth by Company, Issuer shall be entitled to withdraw and pay itself the aggregate of such amounts from the Escrow.

 

(ii) On the date that is 90 days following the Closing Date, Issuer shall pay to the Investors from the Escrow, an amount in cash equal to $150,000 less the sum of (A) the amount paid to Issuer from the Escrow in accordance with Section 1.2(h)(i) and (B) any amounts reasonably necessary to satisfy any claims of Issuer that have not been resolved in accordance with Section 1.1(f).

 

(iii) On the date that is 120 days following the Closing Date, Issuer shall pay to the Investors from the Escrow, all remaining amounts then held in the Escrow less any amounts reasonably necessary to satisfy any claims of Issuer that have not been resolved in accordance with Section 1.1(f).

 

-5-


(iv) After the date that is 120 days following the Closing Date, upon resolution of all remaining Adjustment Notices in accordance with Section 1.1(f), any amounts not required to be paid to Issuer and that remain in the Escrow shall be paid to Investors. In addition, if the Modified Working Capital Adjustment is less than the Working Capital Adjustment, Issuer shall pay to the Investors in cash, the amount by which the Working Capital Adjustment exceeds the Modified Working Capital Adjustment.

 

(v) Unless otherwise directed by the Investors, any amounts payable by Issuer in accordance with this Section 1.2(h) shall be paid to the Investors, in cash, in proportion to the percentages set forth opposite such Investors’ name on Schedule 1 hereto (Escrow Percentage Contribution), to the account specified for such Investor in Section 1.2(f).

 

1.3 Other Agreements.

 

(a) The Investors designate Venturos AS or its designee (the “Representative”) as their representative and attorney-in-fact for and on their behalf with respect to the reduction of its payments from the Issuer pursuant to Section 1.2 and disputes with respect to the accuracy of the Working Capital Adjustment and Modified Working Capital Adjustment stated therein and the taking by the Representative of any and all actions and the making of any decisions required or permitted to be taken by the Representative herein.

Each Investor is fully aware of: (i) the volatile trading price of the Shares; (ii) the financial hazards involved; (iii) the restrictions on transferability of the Shares; (iv) the tax consequences of acquiring the Shares; and (v) such Investor understands that the Shares are restricted and cannot be resold unless a registration statement under the Securities Act (and current prospectus) is in effect as to the Shares pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Shares are sold pursuant to SEC Rule 144 of the Securities Act or pursuant to another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws.

 

5.11 Rule 144. Each Investor understands that the Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Issuer in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under the Securities Act and applicable regulations thereunder and the Shares may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, each Investor represents that such Investor is familiar with Rule 144 of the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act. Each Investor understands that the Issuer is under no obligation to register any of the Shares except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement entered into concurrently by the parties hereto.

 

5.12 Independent Decision. Each Investor is not relying on the Issuer or on any legal or other opinion in the materials reviewed by such Investor with respect to the financial or tax considerations of such Investor relating to its investment in the Shares. Each Investor has relied solely on its examination and independent investigation in making its decision to acquire the Shares.

 

5.13 No Commissions. No Investor has incurred any obligation for any finder’s or broker’s or agent’s fees or commissions in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

-13-


5.14 No General Solicitation. Each Investor acknowledges that at no time was such Investor presented with or solicited by any publicly issued or circulated newspaper, mail, radio, television or other form of general advertising or solicitation in connection with the Shares.

 

5.15 Indebtedness. Following the consummation of the transactions set forth in Articles 1 and 2, the Investors acknowledge that neither Company nor Issuer shall have any further obligation to the Investors with respect to the Investor Debt or for any other shareholder advance or indebtedness for borrowed money.
