C. InterMetro desires to pay in full the loan evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents, and Moriah is willing to accept payment in full on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
D. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Loan Agreement or in the Securities Issuance Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
| 1. | Loan Payoff. Upon the full execution and delivery of this Agreement, InterMetro agrees to pay to Moriah the sum of (i) Two Million Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,050,000.00) representing outstanding principal, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest in the amount of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) through October 12, 2012, plus (iii) expenses and fees in the amount of Twenty Thousand Two Hundred One and 45/100 Dollars ($20,201.45), for a total of Two Million Ninety-Five Thousand Two Hundred One and 45/100 Dollars ($2,095,201.45) (collectively, the “Loan Payoff”) in full satisfaction of the amounts owed pursuant to the Note and the other Loan Documents (except as expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement). The Loan Payoff will be paid in the following manner: (a) $1,845,201.45 in immediately available funds wired (in one or more wire transfers) to Moriah in accordance with instructions provided by Moriah to InterMetro, such wire to be sent on or before October 12, 2012, and (b) $250,000.00 (the “Deferred Payoff Amount”) paid in accordance with the terms of the Promissory Note described in Section 2 below. Moriah agrees to provide to InterMetro an acknowledgment of receipt of the Loan Payoff, less the Deferred Payoff Amount, following Moriah’s receipt of the wire transfer. |
| 2. | Relinquishment of Put Option; Note Conversion Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Issuance Agreement, Moriah currently has a Put Option with respect to 6,008,500 shares of Common Stock of Holdings. Upon the full execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Promissory Note (as defined below), the Put Option shall be null and void and of no further force or effect. In consideration for the relinquishment of the Put Option and payment of the Deferred Payoff Amount, Holdings shall, upon the full execution and delivery of this Agreement, deliver to Moriah a Promissory Note in the original principal amount of Nine Hundred Eighty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($987,500.00) (of which $737,500.00 represents consideration for relinquishment of the Put Option), in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Promissory Note”). The principal of and interest accrued under the Promissory Note shall be convertible to additional Common Stock of Holdings in accordance with the terms of the Note Conversion Agreement, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B, which Note Conversion Agreement shall be executed and delivered by Holdings to Moriah upon the full execution and delivery of this Agreement. |
-2-
| 3. | New Warrant for Common Stock. Moriah currently holds the Warrants, giving it the right to purchase a total of 14,233,503 shares of Common Stock of Holdings. The Warrants have various exercise prices per share and numerous expiration dates. Upon the full execution and delivery of this Agreement, Moriah shall relinquish the Warrants to Holdings, and in exchange therefor, Holdings will issue to Moriah an amended, restated and consolidated warrant in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (the “New Warrant”). Following the full execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Warrants will be null and void and of no further force or effect, and shall be superseded and replaced by the New Warrant. |
| 4. | Shares Issued Subject to Voting Agreement. Moriah acknowledges that the shares of Common Stock issued as a result of the exercise of any portion of the New Warrant, or issued as a result of the conversion of all or any portion of the principal of or interest accrued under the Promissory Note in accordance with the terms of the Note Conversion Agreement, will be subject to the terms of the Voting Agreement, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit D. Upon the full execution and delivery of this Agreement, Holdings and Moriah will each also execute and deliver the Voting Agreement. |
| 5. | Release of Security. Promptly following the full execution and delivery of this Agreement, Moriah shall take the following actions to release its security for the payment of the amounts due under the Note, the Loan Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents: |
| | (a) | UCC Terminations. Authorize Transportation Alliance Bank Inc. dba TAB Bank, InterMetro’s new lender (“TAB”), and/or InterMetro to file UCC termination statements with respect to each of the UCC Statements, in each jurisdiction in which a UCC Statement was filed, provided that Moriah shall retain a lien (i) on all accounts receivable and proceeds thereof of InterMetro, senior to all liens other than the first lien of TAB thereon; and (ii) all Equipment and Intellectual Property, junior to the liens described in the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement, of even date herewith, among TAB, Moriah, InterMetro and the other lenders party thereto. |
-3-
| | (b) | Transfer of Lockbox Payments; Termination of Lockbox Agreements. |
| | (1) | For a period of sixty (60) days following receipt of the payoff specified in Section 1 above, Moriah agrees to remit to TAB, cash in an amount equal to all payments received from U.S. Bank (the “Lockbox Bank”) pursuant to the Lockbox Agreements, less only actual costs billed by Lockbox Bank in connection with the Lockbox Agreements. Payments shall be promptly forwarded to TAB on a daily basis via ACH electronic funds transfer using the following wire instructions: |
With respect to all InterMetro account debtor payments, to:
| Bank Name: | Transportation Alliance Bank Inc. dba TAB Bank | |
| Bank Address: | 4185 Harrison Blvd., Suite 200, Ogden, UT 84403 | |

Moriah and InterMetro further agree to provide to TAB all supporting documents and check copies relating to such payments via email or fax to:
| Email: | ***@*** | |
| Fax: | (801) 395-8668 |
| | (2) | In connection with the amounts to be remitted to TAB pursuant to the preceding paragraph, and in the event any instrument constituting payment on an account or account receivable of Communications or Advanced is returned unpaid or dishonored after Moriah has advanced payment to TAB as set forth in paragraph (1) above, TAB shall reimburse Moriah all amounts received by TAB with regard to such instrument provided that Moriah submits to TAB documentation reasonably acceptable to TAB evidencing the return or dishonor on or before thirty (30) days from the date of payment by Moriah to TAB. Reimbursement claims not submitted by that deadline shall be waived. InterMetro agrees to indemnify and hold TAB harmless for all payments, out-of-pocket costs, expenses, claims, and damages incurred by TAB in the performance by TAB of the covenants, conditions, and obligations set forth in this paragraph and Agreement. |
-4-
| | (3) | Following the expiration of the 60-day period set forth Section 5(b)(1) above, or such earlier time if requested by TAB, Moriah will take all such actions as are necessary to terminate the Lockbox Agreements with the Lockbox Bank, including but not limited to providing to the Lockbox Bank the written notice required by the terms of Section 8 of the Lockbox Agreements, which notice shall include instructions to transfer any amounts in the deposit accounts to the account of TAB, and provide written notice to InterMetro evidencing the termination of the Lockbox Agreements. |
| | (4) | To the extent there has been any notice to the account debtors of InterMetro, upon written request of TAB, after payment of the amount specified in Section 1 above, Moriah will execute, or authorize TAB to execute, notices in a form reasonably requested by TAB notifying the account debtors of Communications or Advanced, as applicable, to make payment directly to a lockbox that is to be maintained by TAB. |
Moriah confirms that upon the full execution and delivery of this Agreement and the completion of the actions to be taken by InterMetro or Holdings in accordance with its terms, it releases and shall have no further rights in or interest under or pursuant to any of the Loan Documents with the following exception: (a) The Registration Rights Agreement shall remain in effect, and for so long as the New Warrant has not been exercised or terminated, the applicable covenants of Holdings set forth in Section 5 of the Securities Issuance Agreement shall remain in effect; and (b) InterMetro’s indemnities in favor of Moriah contained in the Loan Documents that, by their terms are intended to survive termination of the Loan Documents, shall survive the making of the Loan Payoff and the termination of the Loan Documents.
| 6. | Cooperation with New Lender; Indemnification. Moriah acknowledges that TAB is providing new financing to InterMetro to enable InterMetro to make the payment described in Section 1 above, and InterMetro hereby authorizes and directs TAB to remit the Loan Payoff, less the Deferred Payoff Amount, to Moriah in accordance with express wiring instructions to be provided by Moriah. Moriah agrees, at no charge to InterMetro, to cooperate with InterMetro and TAB with respect to the release of security currently held by Moriah, and specifically, to cause the Lockbox Bank to promptly re-direct all payments received by it pursuant to the terms of the Lockbox Agreements as set forth in Section 5(b) above. In the event that InterMetro believes that any payments by its customers were made to the Lockbox Bank and were not re-directed as provided above, then InterMetro shall provide written notice describing such payments to Moriah. Moriah shall promptly investigate the claim with the Lockbox Bank and shall, within three (3) business days following receipt of such written notice, provide a response to InterMetro with information relating to the deposit and the re-direction or forwarding of such payment in accordance with the above instructions. |
-5-
| 7. | Release of Moriah; No Representations. |
| | (a) | In consideration of the agreements contained herein, InterMetro hereby releases Moriah, its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, members, partners, shareholders, affiliates, attorneys, representatives and employees from any and all claims, suits, damages, costs or liabilities of any nature arising in whole or in part under or in connection with the Loan Documents or this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated thereby or hereby, including, without limitation, any such claims, suits, damages, costs or liabilities arising out of or relating to a claim of breach of contract, fraud, liability or misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty, usury, unfair bargaining position, unconscionably, violation of law, negligence, error or omission in accounting or calculations, misappropriation of funds, tortious conduct or reckless or willful misconduct, whether known or unknown. The foregoing release shall not be applicable to Moriah’s obligations under this Agreement, the New Warrant, the Voting Agreement or the Note Conversion Agreement. |
| | In giving the releases set forth in this Section 7, which includes claims that may be unknown at present, InterMetro acknowledges that it has read and understands Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which reads as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, InterMetro expressly waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits under that section and any law of any other jurisdiction of similar effect with respect to its release of any unknown or unsuspected claims that InterMetro may have against Moriah. The parties acknowledge and agree that the inclusion of a release of “unknown” claims in this Section was separately bargained for and was a key element of this Agreement. |
| | (b) | Moriah makes no representations, warranties, agreements or statements to TAB or any other person or entity concerning InterMetro, InterMetro's business, financial condition, creditworthiness, prospects or any other matter relating to InterMetro or Moriah's transactions with InterMetro. |
| | (c) | InterMetro makes no representations, warrants, agreements or statements to Moriah concerning InterMetro’s business, financial condition, creditworthiness, the value of its securities, or any other matter relating to InterMetro, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or any other agreement between InterMetro and Moriah. |
| 8. | Miscellaneous. |
| | (a) | Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto shall be given in writing, which shall include fax transmission and email with confirmed electronic receipt during normal business hours, and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made upon receipt by the receiving party. All notices, requests and demands are to be given or made to the respective parties at the following addresses (or to such other addresses as either party may designate by notice in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph): |

In the event a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or against public policy and cannot be so reduced or modified so as to be made enforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby, and shall remain in full force and effect. |
