WHEREAS, Theatre Direct is contributing certain assets of its group sales business (not including any cash or accounts receivable) to Group Sales Box Office, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GSBO”), in exchange for a 75% membership interest in GSBO (the “Contribution”), pursuant to that certain Asset Contribution Agreement, dated as of March 19, 2012, by and between Theatre Direct and Theatre Party Associates, Inc., as amended by an Amendment No. 1 dated April 18, 2012, copies of which have been provided to the Selling Stockholder, (the “Contribution Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, the parties desire to, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, amend the Purchase Agreement as set forth herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and in the Purchase Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.          Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.

 

2.          Amendment to Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

 

(a)          The definition of Companies in Section 1.1 is amended to add the following to the end thereof:

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Group Sales Box Office, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("GSBO"), shall not be included in Companies.

 

(b)          The definition of Earnout Period in Section 1.1 is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

“Earnout Period” means the period from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2021.

 

(c)          The definition of Earnout Year in Section 1.1 is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

“Earnout Year” means each consecutive 12-month period commencing with the 12-month period beginning July 1, 2011. For the avoidance of doubt, each Earnout Year shall be measured without regard to the actual fiscal year, or any change to the fiscal year, of Theatre Direct during the Earnout Period.

 

 
 

 

(d)          The definition of Revenues in Section 1.1 is amended as follows:

 

(i)          clause (vi) is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: "(vi) [intentionally deleted]".

 

(ii)         The following is added at the end thereof:

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any and all “group ticket sales” shall be excluded from Revenues. As used herein, “group ticket sales” shall only include sales of 15 or more tickets in a single transaction to a single group buyer.

 

(e)          Section 3.7(c) is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

(c)          Earn-out Payments. No later than October 1, 2012, Purchaser shall pay to the Selling Stockholder an amount equal to the Level 1 Earnout Amount without condition and regardless of actual Revenues for the Earnout Year ending June 30, 2012. In addition, if the Companies achieve Revenues greater than or equal to $123,000,000 during any Earnout Year (including for the Earnout Year ending June 30, 2012) (the "Level 2 Target"), then Purchaser shall pay to the Selling Stockholder an additional amount equal to the Level 2 Earnout Amount. Each payment amount referenced in this Section 3.7(c) shall be referred to herein as an “Earnout Payment Amount” and collectively as the “Earnout Payment Amounts”. Any Earnout Payment Amount with respect to the Level 2 Earnout Amount shall be made within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of Revenues for the applicable Earnout Year(s) for the Level 2 Earnout Amount and all Earnout Payment Amounts shall be made in cash by wire transfer by Purchaser of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Selling Stockholder; provided, however, if the Companies achieve Revenues greater than or equal to the Level 2 Target for the Earnout Year ending June 30, 2012, then (i) the Level 2 Earnout Amount shall be paid by adding the Level 2 Earnout Amount to the principal amount of the Note; (ii) interest on the Level 2 Earnout Amount shall accrue and be paid in accordance with the Note, and (iii) the Level 2 Earnout Amount shall be paid over the then remaining term of the Note in equal quarterly installments (in each case in accordance with the terms of the Note).

 

(f)           The following is added at the end of Section 3.7(d):

 

"The exclusion of GSBO from the definition of Companies shall not limit in any manner the covenants of Purchaser and its Affiliates under this Section 3.7(d) (and GSBO shall constitute both an Affiliate of Purchaser and a third party for purposes of this Section 3.7(d))."
