WHEREAS, Loton entered into negotiations with the shareholders of OBAR Camden Holdings Limited (the “Company”) for the purposes of acquiring all of the capital stock of the Company (the “Transaction”);

 

WHEREAS, as a result of the negotiations, Loton has incurred, and is expected to incur various transaction costs and expenses, including the costs and expenses as reflected on Exhibit A, attached hereto (the costs and expenses set forth on Exhibit A and all other costs and expenses now or hereafter incurred by Loton with respect to the Transaction are referred to as the “Transaction Expenses”);

 

WHEREAS, Loton has determined that it will be unable to complete the Transaction on a timely basis due to a number of reasons, including its inability to raise enough financing to close the Transaction;

 

WHEREAS, JJAT, a company wholly owned by Robert Ellin, who is also a director and shareholder of Loton, has agreed to undertake to complete the Transaction in the place of Loton, which undertaking includes the obligation on the part of JJAT to pay for and reimburse Loton for all Transaction Expenses it has paid or incurred, or will pay or incur, with respect to the Transaction;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

 

AGREEMENT

 

1.          Transaction. Loton hereby authorizes JJAT to pursue and close the Transaction for its own account on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

2.          Undertaking to Reimburse Loton. In consideration of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, JJAT agrees to pay and reimburse Loton for all Transaction Expenses it has paid or incurred, or hereafter may pay or incur, in connection with the Transaction, including, without limitation, the Transaction Expenses set forth on Exhibit A. The foregoing obligation shall not require JJAT to pay Loton’s costs and expenses in connection with any future acquisition by Loton of JJAT or any acquisition of the Company from JJAT, except as provided in any written definitive agreement, if any, executed in connection therewith. JJAT shall first reimburse Loton for Transaction Expenses previously paid by Loton, and shall, at the direction of Loton, either (i) pay directly any Transaction Expenses incurred by but not yet paid by Loton or (ii) reimburse Loton if Loton subsequently pays those Transaction Expenses.
