AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER
This Amendment (Amendment) to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (Merger Agreement) by and among Broadcaster, Inc., formerly known as International Microcomputer Software, Inc. (the Parent), ACCM Acquisition Corp., AccessMedia Networks, Inc. (the Company), and the stockholders of AccessMedia Networks, Inc. (Company Stockholders), entered into as of this 29th day of December 2006.
WHEREAS, the Parent has recently approved a change in the business model of the Company in order to broaden the Companys business and take advantage of very recent changes in the Internet; and
WHEREAS, this Amendment is not required to be approved by the stockholders of the Parent.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1.
Section 2.9 of the Merger Agreement is deleted and replaced by the following:
2.9 Earnout Payment.
(a) The Earnout Consideration shall be paid by Parent in an earnout payment to the Company Stockholders in the form of Parent Earnout Shares in amounts set forth below (in each case, an Earnout Payment), in the event that any of the following shall occur:
(i)
During any of the time periods beginning as of May 1, 2005 and ending on the date listed in the Performance Target Schedule in the column entitled Target Date (subject to clause (ii) below), the Surviving Corporations Revenue (as defined below) is equal to or greater than the applicable amount indicated in the column entitled Revenue Performance Level:
Performance Target Schedule
Revenue Performance Level | Target Date | Earnout Payment (in Shares of Parent Common Stock) | Potential Aggregate Shares of Parent Common Stock |
> $20 million in Revenue | June 30, 2006 | 7 million | 36 million |
> $40 million in Revenue | March 31, 2007 | 7 million | 43 million |
> $55 million in Revenue | September 30, 2007 | 7 million | 50 million |
> $80 million in Revenue | June 30, 2008 | 7 million | 57 million |
> $100 million in Revenue | December 31, 2008 | 7 million | 64 million |
The applicable Earnout Payment in the column entitled Earnout Payment shall be delivered to the Stockholders Representative, payable to, and on behalf of, the Company Stockholders, on or prior to the 30th day following the Target Date or following the date upon which a certain Revenue Performance Level is attained (Attainment Date) if the Attainment Date precedes the Target Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Earnout Payment may be earned if the Surviving Corporation achieves the applicable Revenue Performance Level within six (6) months following the Target Date. As used herein, Revenue shall mean the sum of (x) the consolidated revenue of the Company beginning on May 1, 2005 and (y) the number of monthly Broadcaster unique visitors, as measured by Google Analytics multiplied by one dollar ($1.00). Provided, however , Revenue shall not include (A) any revenue or consolidated revenue (as provided in Section 2.9(a)(i)(x) above) from Parents Houseplans, Inc. business or operations or (B) any Baseline Amount (as provided in Section (b) below), or (C) any unique visitors to any URL other than parent-domain: broadcaster.com and its sub-domains.
(ii) If an Earnout Payment is earned on or before the specified Target Date, plus six (6) months, the total Earnout Payment will include (a) the Earnout Payment with respect to such Target Date, and (b) any Earnout Payments relating to prior measurement periods (in each case, an Earnout Measurement Period) that had not been earned prior to such date. For example, if the Surviving Corporation does not achieve Revenue of $20 million as of June 30, 2006 but does achieve Revenue of $20 million prior to December 31, 2006 (six months following the first Target Date), the Company Stockholders will be entitled to receive the Earnout Payment for the first Earnout Measurement Period within 30 days of December 31, 2006. If the Surviving Corporation does not achieve Revenue of $20 million by December 31, 2006, but does achieve Revenue of $40 million as of September 30, 2007 (six months following the second Tar get Date), the Company Stockholders will be entitled to receive the Earnout Payment for each of the first two Earnout Measurement Periods within 30 days of September 30, 2007.
2.
This Amendment is being executed by all of the parties to the Merger Agreement except ACCM Acquisition Corp., which ceased to exist upon consummation of the merger on June 1, 2006 and Broadcaster, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which withdrew as a party as part of the Merger Agreement.
3.
In all other respects, the Merger Agreement is ratified and confirmed.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to be signed by their respective officers or managing members, duly authorized as of the date first written above.
