This agreement is between MediaBay, Inc., its lenders, and existing creditors Huntingdon Corporation and Norton Herrick.

EX-10.38 9 v02583_ex1038.txt January 29, 2004 TO: LENDERS LISTED ON SCHEDULE A Re: Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes dated January 29, 2004, in the aggregate original principal sum of $4,000,000.00 (collectively, the "NOTES"), issued by MediaBay, Inc. ("COMPANY"), in favor of each of the lenders who are signatories to this letter (each, a "LENDER" and collectively, the "LENDERS"). Dear Lender: This letter confirms the agreement of each of Huntingdon Corporation ("HUNTINGDON") and Norton Herrick ("HERRICK," and with Huntingdon, collectively, "EXISTING CREDITORS"), with the Lenders, with respect to certain indebtedness owed by the Company to the Existing Creditors. The Company is indebted to the Existing Creditors as evidenced by the instruments listed on Part 1 of Schedule B to this letter. The indebtedness evidenced by such instruments is referred to in this letter, collectively, as the "DESIGNATED INDEBTEDNESS." Repayment of the Designated Indebtedness is secured by security interests (the "SECURITY INTERESTS") in certain of the assets of the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company. The security interests securing the Designated Indebtedness are more fully set forth and described in the security agreements (the "SECURITY DOCUMENTS") listed on Part 2 of Schedule B to this letter. The relative priorities of the Security Interests, in favor of the Existing Creditors, and certain limitations on the rights of the Existing Creditors, with respect to such Security Interests (including but not limited to, limitations on enforcement rights), are more fully set forth and described in the Intercreditor Agreements listed on Part 3 of Schedule B to this letter. In addition, Herrick's rights under the Designated Indebtedness are further limited by the letter listed on Part 4 of Schedule B to this letter. Each Lender and the Existing Creditors hereby agree that, at any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an uncured (unless no cure rights are applicable) Event of Default as defined in Section 4A of the Notes (except for purposes of Section 4A(ii) with respect to a default under Section 3A(i) through (v)), (i) to the extent any Existing Creditor receives (or is entitled to receive) any payment on account of the Designated Indebtedness (as such rights may be limited pursuant to the subordination provisions of the Designated Indebtedness), whether principal, interest, premium or otherwise the Existing Creditors shall, subject to Existing Creditors' obligations under that certain Letter Agreement listed on Part 5 of Schedule B to this letter, immediately turn over all such amounts to the Lenders' Representative (as defined below) for application, on a pro rata basis until all principal and accrued but unpaid interest and any other outstanding obligations relating to the Notes and this letter (including, but not limited to, any attorney fees and expenses) are paid in full and (ii) Bridges and PIPES, LLC, as representative of the Lenders (the "LENDERS' Representative"), shall have the right pursuant to the Powers of Attorney in the form annexed hereto as EXHIBIT 1 (the "POWERS") granted from the Existing Creditors to the Lender's Representative to enforce all of the Existing Creditors' rights under the Security Agreements, and apply any proceeds so obtained (or owing) to repay all 1 outstanding principal, interest and any other outstanding obligations relating to the Notes and hereunder (including, but not limited to, all fees and expenses of the Lenders' counsel in enforcing such agreements and their rights thereunder). Each Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that Existing Creditors' obligation to the turnover of any amounts and Lenders' rights to receive such amounts under the immediately preceding sentence, are conditioned upon the prior payment in full of the Company's indebtedness under the promissory notes listed on Part 6 to Schedule A of this letter (other than any Notes held by the Existing Creditors and/or their affiliates). Each Lender shall apply any amounts received pursuant to this letter, until all principal, interest and/or other payments/obligations owed to the Lenders thereunder and/or hereunder (including, but not limited to, all fees and expenses of the Lenders' counsel in enforcing such agreements and their rights thereunder), are paid in full. All payment made pursuant to this Letter shall first be applied to reduce the then outstanding accrued but unpaid interest. The Existing Creditors each agree that each will take any and all action necessary and/or reasonably requested by the Agent's Representative to fulfill the terms and obligations of this Letter and the Powers including, but not limited to, ensuring all of the Security Documents remain in full force and effect to ensure the Security Interests remain in full force and effect. Huntingdon and Herrick hereby represent and warrant severally and not jointly to each Lender as follows: (i) Huntingdon is an entity duly incorporated or otherwise organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization (as applicable), with the requisite power and authority to own and use its properties and assets; the Existing Creditors have the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Letter Agreement and the Powers and otherwise to carry out their obligations hereunder and thereunder; the execution and delivery of this Letter Agreement and the Power of Attorney and the consummation of the transactions contemplated therein and herein have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Huntingdon and no further action is required by Huntingdon in connection therewith; this Letter and the Powers have been duly executed by the Existing Creditors and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Existing Creditors enforceable against each in accordance with the terms except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally; the execution, delivery and performance of this letter and the Powers by the Existing Creditors and the consummation by the Existing Creditors of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (a) conflict with or violate any provision of Huntingdon's certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents, (b) except as may be 2 expressly provided in paragraph 2 of this letter, conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which either of the Existing Creditors is a party or by which any property or asset of either is bound or affected, or (c) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which either of the Existing Creditors is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Company or a Subsidiary is bound or affected; and (ii) Neither of the Existing Creditors is required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by either of this letter and/or the Powers. To the extent the Lenders receive any amounts under the Notes (whether pursuant to this letter or otherwise), the Existing Creditors shall be subrogated to all of Lenders' rights to receive any further payments or distributions applicable to the indebtedness under the Notes until the Designated Indebtedness shall have been paid in full (including but not limited to accrued but unpaid interest, penalties and/or fees). Upon payment in full of the obligations under the Notes and any obligations arising hereunder (to the extent paid pursuant to the turn over provisions of this letter), the Lenders shall deliver the original Notes to, and endorsed in favor of, the Existing Creditors. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (a) the Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (b) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.
