EX-10.2 5 a2061295zex-10_2.txt EXHIBIT 10.2 EXHIBIT 10.2 NON-BINDING INTERIM PLAN OF ARRANGEMENT AGREEMENT This Non-Binding Interim Plan of Arrangement Agreement (the "Agreement") is made and entered into and is effective as of the 12th day of October 2001, by and among Inprimis, Inc., a Florida corporation, having its principal place of business at 1601 Clint Moore Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33487 ("INPM"), DataWave Systems, Inc., a Yukon corporation having its U.S. based offices located at 231 West Parkway, Pompton Plains, New Jersey 07444 ("DTV"), and Cash Card Communications Corp. Ltd., a Bermuda corporation, having its principal place of business at 44 Church Street, Hamilton Bermuda HM 12 ("C4") (collectively, the "Parties"). RECITALS A. The common shares of INPM ("INPM Shares") are currently listed for trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market's National Market System ("NMS"), under the trading symbol INPM; B. The common shares of DTV ("DTV Shares") are listed for trading on the Canadian Venture Exchange ("CDNX"), under the trading symbol DTV; C. C4 is the largest single holder of DTV Shares, owning of record 15,775,000 DTV Shares, which constitute 36% of the issued and outstanding DTV Shares; D. DTV is desirous of obtaining a listing for DTV on the Nasdaq; E. INPM requires additional asset base in order to maintain its listing on Nasdaq NMS; F. The management of INPM and DTV have negotiated a plan of arrangement under applicable provisions of the Yukon Business Corporation Act ("YBCA"), under which DTV would become a wholly owned Yukon subsidiary of INPM in a reorganization, with the shareholders of DTV indirectly exchanging their DTV Shares for shares of INPM, which would, among other things, effect a means of obtaining a Nasdaq listing for DTV (the "Arrangement"); and G. The parties to this Agreement are agreed in principle to the Arrangement, subject to the terms and conditions herein below set forth, and they currently believe that the Arrangement is in the best interest of both INPM and DTV and their respective shareholders. Accordingly, they agree to enter into this Agreement for the express purpose of assuring INPM, DTV, the shareholders of both companies, and relevant regulatory authorities of the likelihood of the successful and timely completion of the Arrangement. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by all of the parties hereto, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows: PROVISIONS OF THE AGREEMENT ARRANGEMENT TERMS. The parties hereto agree that it is their intent to enter into an Arrangement whereby DTV shareholders would transfer their shares to a yet to be created wholly owned Yukon subsidiary of INPM and in return receive freely tradable INPM shares. The ratio of exchange of DTV Shares for shares of INPM would be one share of DTV for one and a half (1 1/2) newly created shares of INPM. Upon closing of the Arrangement, current DTV shareholders would own 84.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of INPM on a currently outstanding basis, or 81.64% on a fully diluted basis. Warrants and options to purchase shares in DTV would be exchanged for warrants and options to purchase INPM Shares at the same ratio. ISOLATION OF BUSINESS RISK. As a condition precedent to the closing (the "Closing") of the transaction to be completed in the Arrangement, INPM shall have transferred its pre-existing business into its wholly owned subsidiary Inprimis Technologies, Inc., and Datawave is reasonably satisfied that Inprimis' maximum aggregate liability for all matters arising out of that business at or prior to Closing is less than One Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,700,000). ARRANGEMENT AGREEMENT. DTV and INPM will negotiate and execute a formal Arrangement Agreement that has the terms and conditions set out herein and contains representations and warranties as are normal and prudent for Share Exchange Agreements conducted among Nasdaq listed companies. The specific terms of the Arrangement will be made with a view to reducing any negative tax implications for DTV and INPM shareholders. The Arrangement Agreement will be negotiated and signed at such time as the parties deem it expedient. ARRANGEMENT TO COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS. The transactions contemplated under the Arrangement shall comply with all applicable provisions of: (i) the Yukon Business Corporations Act, (ii) exemption provisions of Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, and (iii) all other applicable laws. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the initial listing requirements of Nasdaq may be required to be met upon consummation of the Arrangement, and that the listing of DTV on CDNX may be suspended pending closing of the Arrangement. Further, the Parties acknowledge that the Arrangement will require prospectus level proxy circulars to shareholders of each of DTV and INPM, approval of the Arrangement by a two-thirds majority of the DTV shareholders casting votes on the matter, approval by the necessary majority of INPM shareholders of an increase in the authorized capital of INPM sufficient to effect the Arrangement and the Share Exchange Agreement between C4, INPM and others of even date herewith (the "Share Exchange Agreement"), and a court hearing on the fairness of the Arrangement to shareholders. C4 AGREES TO THE ARRANGEMENT. C4 consents to DTV and INPM entering into this agreement and, subject to its terms and the conditions and those of the Share Exchange Agreement, C4 agrees to sell its control block of DTV shares to INPM prior to Closing of the Arrangement. C4 acknowledges that its agreement to sell its control block of shares to INPM constitutes a fundamental part of the consideration for INPM and DTV's agreements herein. CLOSING. The closing of the Arrangement (the "Closing") will take place on January 2, 2002 or such other date as is agreed by DTV and INPM. INPM'S NEW BOARD OF DIRECTORS. Upon Closing, INPM shall be governed by a board of directors (the "New INPM Board") consisting of nine directors. For one year following the Closing, six directors shall be appointed by the management of DTV (the "DTV Board Members") and three directors shall be appointed by the current management of INPM (the "INPM Board Members"). Four members of the New INPM Board shall be executives. The three INPM directors shall include Eduard Will, whom the parties have agreed will be Chairman of Board. From the date of Closing until the next annual general meeting of INPM, if an INPM appointed director resigns, declines nomination for election, is removed from the board or vacates the board for any reason, then the resulting vacancy shall be filled by a person agreed upon by the remaining INPM directors. The Parties agree to vote and take such other action as is necessary to implement the provisions set forth in this section. INPM SENIOR MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION. The Arrangement Agreement will provide that, following the Closing, the officers of INPM shall consist of a Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), Chairman, Deputy Chairman and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), with initial annual compensation set at $200,000 for the CEO, $160,000 for the Chairman and $150,000 for the CFO.
