(a)           At Closing, WEBXU shall deliver a note payable to LOT 6 Shareholder in the amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) payable  no later than six (6) months after the Closing in a form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Note”).  WEBXU agrees to notify LOT 6 Shareholder at least seven (7) days in advance of its intention to make payment on this Note. LOT 6 Shareholder shall have no later than seven (7) days from the date of such notice to notify WEBXU that it wishes to be paid a portion of the Note Amount not to exceed fifty percent (50%) of the Note Amount in common stock of WEBXU.  To calculate the number of shares to be provided in lieu of cash, WEBXU and LOT 6 Shareholder agree that the price of each share of common stock of WEBXU shall be set at the volume weighted average price of the common stock of WEBXU traded on the Trading Market on which WEBXU’s common stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. averaged over the twenty trading days immediately prior to issuance of the common stock (“Average VWAP”). The Company shall not be required to issue certificates representing fractional shares.  In the event that WEBXU fails to pay the Note in full by the maturity date, then LOT 6 Shareholder’s sole remedy in such event, unless otherwise expressly agreed upon by both parties, shall be to request rescission of the entire transaction, in which event LOT 6 Shareholder shall surrender to WEBXU all Shares received hereunder and WEBXU shall surrender to LOT 6 Shareholder all Lot 6 Shares received.

(i)           If the Note is not paid in full within thirty (30) days of Closing, then LOT 6 Shareholder shall be issued one million (1,000,000) additional Shares of common stock of WEBXU;

 

(ii)           If the Note is not paid in full within sixty (60) days of Closing, then LOT 6 Shareholder shall be issued one million  (1,000,000) additional Shares of common stock of WEBXU;

 

(iii)           If the Note is not paid in full within ninety (90) days of Closing, then LOT 6 Shareholder shall be issued seven hundred fifty thousand (750,000) additional Shares of common stock of WEBXU; and

 

(iv)           If the Note is not paid in full within one hundred twenty (120) days of Closing, then LOT 6 Shareholder shall be issued seven hundred fifty thousand (750,000) additional Shares of common stock of WEBXU.

 

 

(c)           For the first 12 months from Closing (the “First Year Measurement Period”), any Additional Consideration shall be calculated as follows:

 

(i)           If the Net Income on a GAAP basis for LOT 6 for the first twelve (12) months from Closing is equal to or greater than $3,000,000, then LOT 6 Shareholder shall earn Additional Consideration of $5,000,000.

 

(ii)           LOT 6 Shareholder shall also earn Additional Consideration of two times the amount by which the LOT 6’s Net Income on a GAAP basis for the first twelve (12) months from Closing exceeds $4,500,000 (the “First Year Floor”).  If LOT 6 Net Income on a GAAP basis exceeds the First Year Floor, then the maximum Additional Consideration that can be earned pursuant to this subsection (ii) during the First Year Measurement Period is $7,500,000.

 

(iii)           Any Additional Consideration earned for the First Measurement Period shall be payable within 60 days from the end of the First Year Measurement Period.   Upon notice from WEBXU that such Additional Consideration has been earned, LOT 6 Shareholder will have an option for one (1) week to take up to 50% of this Additional Consideration in shares of common stock of WEBXU priced at the Average VWAP.

 

(d)           For the second 12 months from Closing (the “Second Year Measurement Period”), any Additional Consideration shall be calculated as follows:

 

(i)           If the Net Income on a GAAP basis for LOT 6 for the second twelve (12) months from Closing is equal to or greater than $5,000,000, then LOT 6 Shareholder shall earn Additional Consideration of $4,000,000.

 

(ii)           LOT 6 Shareholder shall also earn Additional Consideration of two times the amount by which the LOT 6’s Net Income on a GAAP basis for the second twelve (12) months from Closing exceeds $6,000,000 (the “Second Year Floor”).  If LOT 6 Net Income on a GAAP basis exceeds the Second Year Floor, then the maximum Additional Consideration that can be earned pursuant to this subsection (ii) during the Second Year Measurement Period is $7,500,000.

Section 7.4             Public Announcements.  From the date of this Agreement until the Closing or termination of this Agreement, WEBXU and each of the LOT 6 Entities shall cooperate in good faith to jointly prepare all press releases and public announcements pertaining to this Agreement and the Transactions governed by it, and none of the foregoing shall issue or otherwise make any public announcement or communication pertaining to this Agreement or the transaction without the prior consent of WEBXU (in the case of LOT 6 Entities) or any LOT 6 Entities (in the case of WEBXU), except as required by Law or by the rules and regulations of, or pursuant to any agreement of, a stock exchange or trading system.  Each Party will not unreasonably withhold approval from the others with respect to any press release or public announcement.  If any Party determines with the advice of counsel that it is required to make this Agreement and the terms of the transaction public or otherwise issue a press release or make public disclosure with respect thereto, it shall at a reasonable time before making any public disclosure, consult with the other Parties regarding such disclosure, seek such confidential treatment for such terms or portions of this Agreement or the transaction as may be reasonably requested by the other Parties and disclose only such information as is legally compelled to be disclosed.  This provision will not apply to communications by any Party to its counsel, accountants and other professional advisors.

(a)           WEBXU shall, subject to the terms hereof, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the LOT 6 Parties and their respective successors and assigns (the “LOT 6 Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Damages arising from:  (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the WEBXU Parties in Article III hereof or in any certificate delivered by WEBXU pursuant to this Agreement; or (ii) any breach by any WEBXU Party, of its covenants or obligations in this Agreement to be performed or complied with by such WEBXU Party at or prior to the Closing.

 

Section 9.4             Limitations on Indemnity.

 

(a)           Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the WEBXU Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2, unless and until the aggregate amount of Damages to the WEBXU Indemnified Parties with respect to such matters under Section 9.2 exceeds $25,000 (the “Deductible”), and then only to the extent such Damages exceed the Deductible.

 

 

(b)           Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, no LOT 6 Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.3, unless and until the aggregate amount of Damages with respect to such matters under Section 9.3 exceeds the Deductible, and then only to the extent such Damages exceed the Deductible.

 

(c)           In no event shall any Party hereto have any liability to the other Parties hereto for any consequential, special, punitive or indirect loss or damage whether or not any claim for such damages is based on tort or contract or that such Party knew or should have known the likelihood of such damages in any circumstances.

 

Section 9.5             Defense of Third Party Claims.  If a Party determines to make a claim for indemnification hereunder (each as applicable an “Indemnitee”), such Party as applicable shall notify the indemnifying party (an “Indemnitor”) of the claim in writing promptly after receiving notice of any action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation, demand or other claim against the Indemnitee (if by a third party), describing the claim, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable) and the basis thereof in reasonable detail (such written notice, an “Indemnification Notice”); provided that the failure to so notify an Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that (and only to the extent that) such failure shall have caused the damages for which the Indemnitor is obligated to be greater than such damages would have been had the Indemnitee given the Indemnitor prompt notice hereunder.  Any Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim giving rise to an Indemnitee’s claim for indemnification at such Indemnitor’s expense, and at its option shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof by appointing a reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee to be the lead counsel in connection with such defense; provided, that the Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnitee and shall not be recoverable from such Indemnitor under this Article IX.  If the Indemnitor shall control the defense of any such claim, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to settle such claims; provided, that the Indemnitor shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against the Indemnitee or if such settlement does not expressly and unconditionally release the Indemnitee from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim.  If the Indemnitor assumes such defense, the Indemnitor shall not be liable for any amount required to be paid by the Indemnitee that exceeds, where the Indemnitee has unreasonably withheld or delayed consent in connection with the proposed compromise or settlement of a third party claim, the amount for which that third party claim could have been settled pursuant to that proposed compromise or settlement.  In all cases, the Indemnitee shall provide its reasonable cooperation with the Indemnitor in defense of claims or litigation, including by making employees, information and documentation reasonably available.  If the Indemnitor shall not assume the defense of any such action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim, the Indemnitee may defend against such matter as it deems appropriate; provided that the Indemnitee may not settle any such matter without the written consent of the Indemnitor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if the Indemnitee is seeking or will seek indemnification hereunder with respect to such matter.

 

 

Section 9.6             Determining Damages.  The amount of Damages subject to indemnification under Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 shall be calculated net of (i) any Tax Benefit inuring to the Indemnitee on account of such Damages, (ii) any insurance proceeds or other amounts under indemnification agreements received or receivable by the Indemnitee on account of such Damages.  If the Indemnitee receives a Tax Benefit on account of such Damages after an indemnification payment is made to it, the Indemnitee shall promptly pay to the Person or Persons that made such indemnification payment the amount of such Tax Benefit at such time or times as and to the extent that such Tax Benefit is realized by the Indemnitee.  For purposes hereof, “Tax Benefit” shall mean any refund of Taxes to be paid or reduction in the amount of Taxes which otherwise would be paid by the Indemnitee, in each case computed at the highest marginal tax rates applicable to the recipient of such benefit.  To the extent Damages are recoverable by insurance, the Indemnitees shall take all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain maximum recovery from such insurance.  In the event that an insurance or other recovery is made by any Indemnitee with respect to Damages for which any such Person has been indemnified hereunder, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery shall be made promptly to the Person or Persons that provided such indemnity payments to such Indemnitee.  The Indemnitors shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitees in respect of Damages indemnified by the Indemnitors.  The Indemnitees shall take all commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Damages upon and after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to Damages.  For Tax purposes, the Parties agree to treat all payments made under this Article IX as adjustments to the consideration received for the LOT 6 Shares.

 

Section 9.7             Right of Setoff Against the Additional Consideration Shares.  To the extent that any LOT 6 Shareholder is obligated to indemnify WEBXU after the Closing under the provisions of this Article IX for Damages, in addition to any other rights WEBXU may have under this Article IX or otherwise, WEBXU shall have the right, exercisable at its option, to decrease any amount due and owing or to be due and owing to it hereunder by cancelling some or all of the Additional Consideration Shares that are issuable to the LOT 6 Shareholder after the Closing Date.  With respect to each indemnification claim made by WEBXU hereunder, WEBXU shall deliver notice to the LOT 6 Shareholder(s) pursuant to Section 11.1 at any time an indemnification claim:  (A) stating that WEBXU has paid or accrued Damages and (B) specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of Damages included in the amount so stated, the date each such item was paid or accrued, and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of representation and warranty or covenant or agreement to which such item is related.  Upon delivery of such notice and evidence of Damages, WEBXU will be permitted to and authorized to withhold from the Additional Consideration Shares or the Additional Consideration Cash an amount equal to such Damages.  The number of shares of WEBXU Common Stock that may be withheld by WEBXU will determined by valuing each share of WEBXU Common Stock at $1.50 per share (if WEBXU Common Stock is not yet publicly traded) or the average closing price of the WEBXU Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, or such other market on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted, for trading for the ten trading days immediately prior to the Target Date.  All Additional Consideration Shares that are still issuable by WEBXU after any set-off pursuant to this Section 9.7 shall be promptly delivered to the LOT 6 Shareholder.  All Additional Consideration Shares withheld to satisfy some or all of any indemnification claim shall be cancelled by WEBXU.

 

 

Section 9.8             Remedies.  The remedies provided in this Article IX will not be exclusive of or limit any other remedies that may be available to the Parties.

 

Section 9.9             Limitation on Recourse; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

 

(a)           No claim shall be brought or maintained by any Party or its respective successors or permitted assigns against any officer, director, partner, member, agent, representative, Affiliate, equity holder, successor or permitted assign of any Party which is not otherwise expressly identified as a Party, and no recourse shall be brought or granted against any of them, by virtue of or based upon any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or obligations of any Party set forth or contained in this Agreement or any exhibit or schedule hereto or any certificate delivered hereunder.

 

(b)           Except as set forth in Section 9.3, the provisions of this Article IX are for the sole benefit of the Parties and nothing in this Article IX, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Article IX.

 

 

 

Section 10.1           Methods of Termination.  Unless waived by the Parties hereto in writing, the Transactions may be terminated and/or abandoned at any time but not later than the Closing:

 

(a)           by mutual written consent of the Parties;

 

(b)           by either WEBXU or the LOT 6 Parties, if the Closing has not occurred by such date that has been agreed by the Parties;

 

(c)           by any LOT 6 Party, if there has been a breach by WEBXU of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement which has prevented the satisfaction of the conditions to the obligations of the LOT 6 Parties at the Closing under Section 8.1(a) and such violation or breach has not been waived by the LOT 6 Parties or cured by the WEBXU Parties within ten (10) business days after written notice thereof from the LOT 6 Parties;

 

(d)           by WEBXU, if there has been a breach by the LOT 6 Parties of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement which has prevented the satisfaction of the conditions to the obligations of the WEBXU Parties at the Closing under Section 8.2(a) and such violation or breach has not been waived by the WEBXU Parties or cured by the LOT 6 Parties within ten (10) business days after written notice thereof from the WEBXU Parties;

 

 

Section 10.2           Effect of Termination.

 

(a)           In the event of termination and abandonment by either WEBXU or the LOT 6 Parties, or all of them, pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other Party, and except as set forth in this Section 10, all further obligations of the Parties shall terminate, no Party shall have any right against the other Party hereto, and each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses.    Nothing contained in this Section 10.2 shall relieve any party from liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.

 

(b)           If the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement are terminated and/or abandoned as provided herein:

 

(i)           each Party hereto will destroy all documents, work papers and other material (and all copies thereof) of the other Party relating to the Transactions contemplated hereby, whether so obtained before or after the execution hereof, to the Party furnishing the same; and

 

(ii)           all confidential information received by either Party hereto with respect to the business of the other Party hereto shall be treated in accordance with Section 7.3 hereof, which shall survive such termination or abandonment.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Article X and Article XI shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 11.2           Amendments; Waivers; No Additional Consideration.  No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed by all of the Parties hereto.  No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any Party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

Section 11.5           Interpretation.  When a reference is made in this Agreement to a Section, such reference shall be to a Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.  Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

 

Section 11.6           Severability.  If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party.  Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that Transactions are fulfilled to the extent possible.

 

Section 11.7           Counterparts; Facsimile Execution.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties.  Facsimile execution and delivery of this Agreement is legal, valid and binding for all purposes.

 

Section 11.8           Entire Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement, taken together with all Exhibits, Annexes and Schedules hereto (a) constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the Transactions and (b) are not intended to confer upon any Person other than the Parties any rights or remedies.
