WHEREAS Doki and Valleru are debtors who have entered into multiple settlement agreements with creditors in 2018 and 2019, in which Maslow was named a joint and severally liable debtor or guarantor of the debts of Doki and Valleru, as further detailed in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the named creditors in Exhibit A are hereafter collectively referenced as the “Creditors” and the amount of the debts described in Exhibit A are hereafter collectively referenced as the “Debts”); and
WHEREAS Doki, Valleru, Janumpally, Pathuri and Federal (who may collectively be hereafter referenced as the “Shareholders”) offered shares of common stock they hold in Maslow, or its successors or assigns, to the Creditors as collateral for repayment of debts owed pursuant to the terms Doki and Valleru negotiated with the Creditors, as well as consideration for the release of Maslow as joint and severally liable debtor or guarantor of the debts owed to Creditors (collectively, these offers of stock are referenced hereafter as the “Offers”);
WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to ensure Maslow will have access to capital to repay debts to the Creditors which Maslow may be required to tender, in the event Doki or Valleru defult on some or all of their repayment obligations to the Creditors, and some or all of the Creditors have rejected the Offers;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms, agreements, provisions and conditions herein contained and provided for, and by execution hereof by the parties or their authorized representatives, the undersigned do hereby contract, covenant and agree as follows:
| 1. | The Shareholders each pledge the amount of Maslow common stock they currently hold as described in Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, to performance of this Agreement. The pledged shares may be held in escrow pursuant to a separately executed escrow agreement. |
| - 1 - |
| 2. | In the event Creditors, or any of them, demand Maslow tender payment of the Debts, Maslow shall: |
| a. | Promptly share reasonable details of the demand(s) with the other parties hereto; | |
| b. | make commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate acceptance by the Creditors of the Offers, substantially in the forms set forth at Exhibit C, which is fully incorporated herein by reference. For avoidance of doubt, if Creditors, or any of them, rejected the Offers and rejected negotiating the Offers more than three (3) months from the date on which any of them first demand Maslow tender payment for the Debts, or any part of them, Maslow shall re-offer to them the germane Offers and seek to re-negotiate, if possible, and obtain their acceptance of the same. | |
| 3. | If Maslow is, in its sole reasonable discretion, unable to negotiate acceptance of terms substantially in the form set forth at Exhibit C, it shall so notify the other parties hereto, and shall propose payment of the Debts through the liquidation and sale of some or all of the shares set aside for that purpose hereunder. This notice and proposal shall hereafter be referenced as the “Proposal”. | |
| 4. | Following issuance of the Proposal to each of the Shareholders, Maslow shall wait ten (10) business days for receipt of objection(s) from any of the Shareholders. |
| a. | Maslow shall make a good faith effort to accommodate reasonable objections to the Proposal raised by any of the Shareholders. | |
| b. | Following no more than thirty (30) days of such efforts, Maslow may in its sole reasonable discretion modify the Proposal or reject all or any of the objection(s) raised by any of the Shareholders. | |
| c. | Maslow shall issue a statement to all parties, not to exceed five (5) pages, with its determination and its reasonable justification(s) therefore, addressing any objections raised by the Shareholders, along with a final Proposal. | |
| d. | If no objections are timely raised by Shareholders, or promptly following issuance of a final Proposal, Maslow shall sell shares or cause shares to be sold, consistent with the Proposal. |
| 5. | To the extent any of the shares of common stock to be sold pursuant to an issued final Proposal are in the possession or control of an escrow agent, the Shareholders and Maslow shall enter into an appropriate escrow agreement, empowering Maslow to exercise its discretion and perform its obligations as set forth herein. Shareholders shall promptly cooperate with Maslow and the escrow agent as reasonably requested from time to time, by reviewing and signing documents, at the sole cost and expense of Maslow, if any cost or expense is incurred. |
