Such Preferred Shares may only be issued to the Sellers in payment of the Option Amount.  Each share of the Preferred Shares shall have a value (“Preferred Stock Value”) on the books and records of Motorsport equal to applicable Share Price for the then applicable Share Price Period.  The applicable Preferred Stock Value shall be the amount to be paid per Preferred Share at the time of the exercise of the Option.  Each share of the Preferred Shares shall pay a quarterly dividend of 2.5% of the Preferred Stock Value then in effect for the Share Price Period for each quarter, beginning with the first calendar quarter after the closing of the Option.  Such quarterly dividends shall be cumulative and if not timely paid in each quarter shall accrue interest on the unpaid amounts at the rate of ten percent per annum (10%) until paid in full.  The Preferred Stock shall have a preference over all other shares of any type issued by Motorsport and after its issuance, no dividends or other distribution of profits can be made by Motorsport, unless the required quarterly preferential dividends and any accrued but unpaid interest shall have been paid in full first.  Motorsport shall have the option to redeem the Preferred Shares at a price per share equal to the Preferred Stock Value upon thirty (30) days prior written notice and all accumulated, but unpaid quarterly dividends and accrued interest must be paid at the time of redemption.  Unless otherwise agreed in writing by all of the Sellers, any such redemption shall be pro rata among the Sellers based on the percentages of ownership set forth on Schedule II. Preferred Shares may also be issued at the request of the Sellers as provided in Section 1.8(b) below.

1.6           Seller’s Rights to Transfer.  For a period of eight (8) years after the Closing Date the Sellers agree that they will not sell or transfer his or her Retained Interest and/or any Preferred Shares except as permitted by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entitlement of each Seller to receive their respective share of the Purchase Price (the “Seller’s Entitlement”), and each Seller’s interest in the Retained Interests and/or Preferred Shares of any Seller) may be transferred or sold, or will be transferred as a matter of law, under the following conditions:
(a)           Any Seller may transfer or sell their respective Retained Interest and/or any Preferred Shares to the Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement;
(b)           Any Seller may transfer or sell their respective Seller’s Entitlement and/or Retained Interest and/or any Preferred Shares to another Seller at such price and on such terms as may be agreed between them;
(c)           Any Seller may transfer or sell their respective Seller’s Entitlement and/or Retained Interest and/or any Preferred Shares to a trust, limited liability company, or corporation so long as such entity is either wholly owned by such Seller or is controlled by such Seller;
(d)           The respective Seller’s Entitlement and/or Retained Interest and/or any Preferred Shares may be transferred pursuant to the will or testamentary trust of any Seller who is deceased.

Any such sale or transfer shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and any share certificate evidencing any such sale or transfer shall contain a restrictive legend indicating that the transferred Retained Interest and/or Preferred Shares are subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  The death of any Seller at any time when this Agreement is still in effect or while such Seller still owns any of the Seller’s Entitlement and/or Retained Interest and/or any Preferred Shares shall not affect in any way the obligations or rights of any of the Purchaser or any of the Sellers, or the assignee or transferee of and Seller, as provided herein.

1.7           Operations/Merger.  After the Closing Date, the Purchaser will be the majority shareholder of Motorsport. Motorsport will be the operating entity and continue to own and utilize the Domain.  After payment in full of the Second Payment Amount, but prior to the exercise of the Option, the Purchaser may with the unanimous consent of the holders of the Retained Interests, merge the business and operations of Motorsport with, and into, a corporation wholly owned by the Purchaser, with the Purchaser’s corporation  surviving the merger and continuing the business.  In the event of such a merger and unless the Purchaser exercises the Option at that time, the Retained Interest shall have the same percentage of equity interest in the Purchaser as in Motorsport and that percentage of equity interest in the Purchaser cannot be diluted; provided, however, that the Retained Interests may be diluted if a third-party investor invests in Motorsport or the Purchaser at a valuation at least twice the value of the Retained Interest at the time of such investment.  In conjunction with any such merger, the Domain will become an asset of the surviving corporation, but still subject to the security interest of the Sellers. Not withstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser agrees not to change the form of Motorsport or any surviving entity into which Motorsport is merged, from a corporation with a “C Corporation” income tax status into a corporation with an “S Corporation income tax status or a limited liability company without the prior written agreement of all of the Sellers who own any of the Retained Interest and/or any Preferred Shares.

1.8           Dilution.  Except as provided herein, the Purchaser agrees not to allow Motorsport to issue additional common shares which would have the effect of diluting the ownership of the Sellers in Motorsport without first obtaining the prior written approval of each of the Sellers as to the issuance of such additional common shares. Notwithstanding the forgoing:

(a) The Purchaser may invest up to $1,000,000 in Motorsport at the then-current Share Price as provided in Section 1.4 herein and Retained Interest of the Sellers will be diluted in the same manner as the Purchaser.

(b) After the Purchaser has invested a minimum of $1,000,000 in additional capital in Motorsport as provided in (a) above, the Purchaser may allow a bona fide third-party arms-length investor to purchase common shares; in such a case the Purchaser and the Sellers will be diluted equally. If the share price for such investment is lower than that provided in Section 1.4 above, each Seller shall have the option after written notice and a period of no less than ten (10) business days to elect to force the Purchaser to convert such Seller’s interest to a Preferred Stock as provided in Section 1.5 above and shall have the same rights, entitlements and privileges as Preferred Shares issued in connection with an Option as provided in Section 1.5 above.

1.9           Security Interest/Unwind.  As security for the payment of the Second Installment Amount as provided herein, the Purchaser shall cause Motorsport (and any other entity having any rights in such Domain) to grant to the Sellers a security interest in the Domain which shall be held in escrow until such payment is made.  In addition to the escrow, which is agreed to be for the benefit of the Sellers, the Sellers are permitted to perfect their security interest in the Domain by filing Uniform Commercial Code forms as provided by Florida Statutes Chapter 679.  In the event that the Purchaser fails to make any Installment of the Second Payment Amount at the time required, or otherwise breaches or violates this Agreement and is in default of its obligations as set for the herein, and the Purchaser fails to cure such default after thirty (30) days written notice of such default, the Sellers shall have the right to repurchase the Interests in Motorsport for the amount of $1.00, with each Seller purchasing the same percentage of shares of Motorsport sold to the Purchaser as set forth on Schedule II.  Following the Sellers’ exercise of its right to repurchase the Interests, the ownership and control of Motorsport and the Domain shall revert to the Sellers along with the functionality of the Motorsport site prior to the Closing and the Domain shall be released from Escrow and released to Motorsport.  After such repurchase, neither the Purchaser nor any party claiming through the Purchaser shall have any interest in the Domain. The Sellers’ option to unwind this transaction shall be its sole remedy for the Purchaser’s failure to make the payment related to the Second Installment Amount.

1.10        Closing.

Re:          Acquisition of Shares of Motorsport.com, Inc.               

Lady and Gentlemen:

In connection with the transfer of 80% of the shares of Motorsport.com, Inc. (the “Interests”) pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of December __, 2010, Enerfund Motorsport, LLC (the “Purchaser”) acknowledges and agrees with you as follows:

1)           You and may rely upon the following representations, warranties and agreements in all matters relating to the Interests.

2)           The Purchaser represents, warrants, and agrees that it is acquiring the Interests for its own account as an investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof; that the Purchaser is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its State of organization with full power and authority to execute and perform this letter agreement; and that the Purchaser shall not dispose of the Interests or any part thereof in any manner which would constitute a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), any other applicable law, rules, or regulations of the U.S. or any State or other governmental authorities, as the same may be amended.

3)           The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.  The Purchaser either alone or together with its representatives possesses such expertise, knowledge, and sophistication in financial and business matters generally, and in the type of business in which Motorsport.com, Inc. engages in particular, that the Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and economic risks of acquiring and holding the Interests and is able to bear all such economic risks of such ownership now and in the future.  The Purchaser is aware that it must bear the economic risk of an investment in the Interests for an indefinite period of time because the Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any State and, therefore, cannot be sold unless the Interests are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and any applicable State securities laws or an exemption from registration is available.

 
 

 

4)           The Purchaser has had access to all of the information, materials, books, records, contracts, and documents with respect to the Interests and Motorsport.com, Inc. which the Purchaser deems necessary to make a complete evaluation thereof and has had an opportunity to question officers of Motorsport.com, Inc. in connection therewith.

5)           The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold you harmless as the sellers of the Interests from and against any and all claims, actions, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising out of or attributable to any breach of representation, warranty, or agreement contained herein.  The Purchaser agrees that this indemnity shall survive any sale or other transfer or disposal of the Interests.

Very truly yours,

Enerfund Motorsport, LLC.
