Exhibit 10.15

 

COMMISSION AGREEMENT

 

THIS COMMISSION AGREEMENT (“AGREEMENT”) is effectively dated as of August 11, 2009 by and between XTENT, INC., a Delaware Corporation (“SELLER”), and COUNSEL RB CAPITAL LLC., a Delaware corporation (the “AUCTIONEER”).

 

RECITALS:

 

The SELLER has engaged the services of the AUCTIONEER to conduct one or more public auction(s) and/or private sale(s) of certain property of the SELLER (collectively, “SALE”) pursuant to the terms of this AGREEMENT.  The SELLER and the AUCTIONEER (collectively, “PARTIES”) have agreed to execute this AGREEMENT so as to document the terms of the SELLER’S engagement of the AUCTIONEER in connection with the SALE.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises, the terms and conditions set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the PARTIES agree as follows:

 

Section 1.  Purpose of Agreement.  The SELLER hereby hires the AUCTIONEER, as the SELLER’s exclusive agent, to conduct the SALE of the personal property of the SELLER that is listed and described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and made a part hereof (collectively, “ASSETS”), upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

Section 2.  Manner of Sale.  The SELLER hereby authorizes the AUCTIONEER:  (a) to sell the ASSETS, in whole or in part, at a public auction(s) and/or private sale(s) to the highest bidder thereof; and (b) to include other assets (other than assets that are duplicates of any ASSET) in such auction(s) to increase public attendance.  Although the AUCTIONEER shall endeavor to consult with the SELLER regarding the manner and method of the SALE, the AUCTIONEER shall have the authority to conduct the SALE in the manner, and utilizing the methods, that the AUCTIONEER deems, in its professional judgment, to be appropriate.  The SELLER hereby agrees that it will not effectuate any SALE of any of the ASSETS on its own without utilizing the services of the AUCTIONEER in connection therewith.  The AUCTIONEER:  (i) does not guarantee that any SALE shall be completed; and (ii) shall not be responsible for any purchaser that fails to live up to its obligation to complete a purchase of any of the ASSETS.  It is the present intention of the AUCTIONEER to conduct the SALE on or about October 6, 2009. AUCTIONEER shall remove all ASSETS from the PREMISES (as defined below) prior to the TERMINATION DATE.  In connection therewith, SELLER shall take reasonable steps to ensure that the disconnection of utilities from ASSETS and the removal of ASSETS is conducted only by qualified personnel, in a manner that does not cause damage other ASSETS or the PREMISES.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the modular clean-room that is located on the PREMISES and that is expressly treated as SELLER’s “sole property” pursuant to the Lease dated September 15, 2003, by and between SELLER and 125 Constitution Associates, L.P., as the same has been amended to date (the “LEASE”) is not sold pursuant to the SALE, then AUCTIONEER shall not be responsible for removing it.

 

Section 3.  Commission; Gross Proceeds; Expenses; Etc.  The SELLER shall not pay any commission to the AUCTIONEER. The AUCTIONEER shall advance and the SELLER shall reimburse the AUCTIONEER for all reasonable and documented expenses incurred by the AUCTIONEER in connection with the SALE (collectively, “AUCTIONEER’S EXPENSES”), including but not limited to ad placement fees and all other advertising expenses, digital photography of the ASSETS, brochure and catalog production, print and electronic media production, labor, creative services, telemarketing, data list purchases, facsimile charges, postage, travel, accounting, equipment rental, insurance, permits and any other out-of-pocket charges incurred by the AUCTIONEER or otherwise relating to the SALE.  The amount of the AUCTIONEER’S EXPENSES for which the SELLER is obligated to reimburse the AUCTIONEER will be capped at Thirty Five Thousand Dollars ($35,000). As used herein, the term “GROSS PROCEEDS” excludes any and all “BUYER PREMIUMS” (as that term is commonly understood

 



 

by the AUCTIONEER to mean) which shall be paid by the purchaser(s) of the ASSETS (“PURCHASER” or “PURCHASERS”) to the AUCTIONEER in connection with the SALE and any subsequent sale of any unsold ASSET made within two (2) months of the SALE.  The AUCTIONEER intends to charge each PURCHASER a BUYER PREMIUM in an amount equal to twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) of the aggregate GROSS PROCEEDS paid by each such PURCHASER; provided, however, that the BUYER PREMIUM that certain PURCHASERS shall be obligated to pay shall be an amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the aggregate GROSS PROCEEDS paid by such PURCHASERS since the AUCTIONEER is obligated to pay its internet provider or such other third party a commission or internet related fee equal to two and one-half percent (2.5%) of such GROSS PROCEEDS.

 

Notwithstanding anything contained in this section to the contrary, SELLER shall retain the right to cancel the SALE and pay a cancellation fee as follows:  (i) Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) plus actual incurred expenses if cancelled prior to the mailing of the auction brochure; and (ii) Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) plus actual incurred expenses if cancelled after mailing of the auction brochure.  In addition, SELLER shall retain the right to remove from the SALE any ASSETS that SELLER sells to a third party who has purchased intellectual property of the SELLER (“BUNDLED ASSETS”).  In the event SELLER removes any BUNDLED ASSETS from the SALE, SELLER will pay to AUCTIONEER a fee of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000); and will reimburse AUCTIONEER for actual incurred expenses.

 

Section 4.  Sale Proceeds.  The SELLER hereby authorizes the AUCTIONEER to accept direct payment of the GROSS PROCEEDS from the PURCHASERS.  Within fifteen (15) business days from the date of the SALE, the AUCTIONEER shall deliver to the SELLER an amount equal to the following (“NET PROCEEDS”) — the amount of the GROSS PROCEEDS, less the AUCTIONEER’S EXPENSES (subject to the terms of Section 3 hereof).  All BUYER PREMIUMS are the sole property of the AUCTIONEER.  At the time that the AUCTIONEER delivers the NET PROCEEDS to the SELLER, the AUCTIONEER shall deliver to the SELLER an itemized accounting of the SALE.

 

Section 5.  Location of Assets.  The ASSETS are located on the parcel(s) of real property located at 125 Constitution Drive, Menlo Park, CA (the “PREMISES”).

 

Section 6.  Use of the Premises.  The SELLER:  (a) authorizes the AUCTIONEER to enter and use the PREMISES for the purposes of — (i) storing the ASSETS thereupon, (ii) preparing for and conducting the SALE thereupon, and (iii) otherwise exhibiting the ASSETS; (b) shall not charge the AUCTIONEER any rent, storage fees, utilities, or any other fees associated with the AUCTIONEER’s use of the PREMISES in accordance with the terms of this Section; and (c) shall provide adequate utilities to the PREMISES, at the SELLER’s sole expense, to allow the AUCTIONEER — (i) to demonstrate and exhibit the ASSETS to any prospective PURCHASER, and (ii) to conduct the SALE.  Notwithstanding any of the terms of this Section to the contrary, the SELLER’s obligations to the AUCTIONEER under this Section shall:  (A) commence upon the mutual execution and delivery of this AGREEMENT; and (B) terminate, unless otherwise extended by the PARTIES, seventy five (75) days following the mutual execution and delivery of the AGREEMENT (“TERMINATION DATE”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the SELLER shall not be obligated to do, and AUCTIONEER agrees no to do, anything that would cause SELLER to violate any provision of the LEASE.

 

Section 7.  Term of Agreement.  With the exception of the agreements of the PARTIES described in Sections 10, 17 and 18 hereof, the rights and obligations of the PARTIES under this AGREEMENT shall terminate upon the completion of the SALE of all of the ASSETS by the AUCTIONEER, the removal of the ASSETS following the SALE (which, consistent with the terms of the immediately preceding Section hereof, shall take place prior to the 75th day following the mutual execution and delivery of the AGREEMENT, and the satisfaction of the PARTIES’ respective payment obligations to one another set forth herein (“TERMINATION DATE”).  Prior to the SALE, the PARTIES will conduct a joint walk-through inspection (“INITIAL INSPECTION”) of the PREMISES to identify ASSETS that may require alterations to the PREMISES or fixtures thereto in order to be removed properly.  Following the removal of ASSETS and prior to the TERMINATION DATE, the PARTIES shall conduct a second joint walk-through inspection (“FINAL INSPECTION”) of the PREMISES, at which time SELLER will notify AUCTIONEER of any ASSETS that have not been removed from the PREMISES, or damages

 

2



 

to the PREMISES caused by the removal of the ASSETS from the PREMISES or the disconnection of utilities from ASSETS.  Except for damages that are unavoidable due to the nature of specific ASSETS (for example, a piece of equipment too large to pass through any available doorway) AUCTIONEER shall be responsible, at AUCTIONEER’s expense for repairing all such damages.  Except for any such damages brought to AUCTIONEER’s attention on the date of the FINAL INSPECTION, the AUCTIONEER shall have no obligation to remove unsold ASSETS from the PREMISES, to disconnect any utilities to unsold ASSETS, or to repair any damages to the PREMISES that are caused by the removal of the ASSETS from the PREMISES or the disconnection of utilities to sold ASSETS, unless the SELLER is able to prove that the damages are the direct result of the AUCTIONEER’s negligence or misconduct.

 

Section 8.  Liability and Workers’ Compensation Insurance.  The AUCTIONEER shall provide the SELLER with evidence that the AUCTIONEER has:  (a) public liability and property damage insurance — (i) insuring the AUCTIONEER against loss as a result of personal injury or property damage in connection with the ASSETS, the PREMISES and any SALE, (ii) with limits of not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) in the aggregate as to personal injury, and (iii) naming the SELLER as an additional insured; and (b) workers’ compensation insurance with limits of coverage that comply with applicable laws and regulations.  The AUCTIONEER shall maintain the insurance described in this Section until the TERMINATION DATE.

 

Section 9.  Casualty Insurance.  Until such time as title to and possession of the ASSETS is delivered to the PURCHASER, the SELLER (and not the AUCTIONEER) shall obtain and thereafter maintain a policy or policies of all-risk or fire and extended coverage casualty insurance, and vandalism and malicious mischief, for the ASSETS:  (a) in an amount not less than the full insurable value of the ASSETS; and (b) names the AUCTIONEER as an additional insured.  In the event that, prior to the SALE of all of the ASSETS, all or any portion of the ASSETS shall be lost or damaged by fire or other casualty, or by theft or vandalism, the AUCTIONEER shall be entitled to receive a portion of the insurance proceeds therefrom in an amount equal to the AUCTIONEER’S EXPENSES incurred to date (subject to the terms of Section 3 hereof), plus (Z) an additional twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) of such insurance proceeds since that is the standard amount of the BUYER PREMIUM that the AUCTIONEER would have received were it not for such fire or other casualty, or theft or vandalism.

 

Section 10.  Default; Termination of Agreement.  In the event that the SELLER materially violates the terms of, or fails to perform its obligations under, this AGREEMENT, and fails to remedy such violation of failure within a reasonable time following notice from AUCTIONEER, the AUCTIONEER may terminate the AUCTIONEER’s obligations under this AGREEMENT, upon the delivery of written notice thereof to the SELLER, and the SELLER shall promptly pay to the AUCTIONEER an amount equal to the sum of:  (a) all of the AUCTIONEER’S EXPENSES incurred to date (subject to the terms of Section 3 hereof); plus (b) an amount equal to the twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) of the greater of — (i) the appraised fair market value of the ASSETS, or (ii) if the SELLER sold or otherwise approved the SALE of all or a portion of the ASSETS without utilizing the services of the AUCTIONEER in connection therewith (“UNAUTHORIZED SALE”), the GROSS PROCEEDS of the UNAUTHORIZED SALE.  Notwithstanding the terms of the preceding sentence to the contrary, in lieu of terminating the AUCTIONEER’s obligations under this AGREEMENT following such a violation or failure by the SELLER, if the AUCTIONEER proceeds with the SALE and the AUCTIONEER’S EXPENSES are increased due to such a violation or failure by the SELLER, the SELLER shall be obligated to reimburse the AUCTIONEER for such additional AUCTIONEER’S EXPENSES.  In the event that the AUCTIONEER materially violates the terms of, or materially fails to perform its obligations under, this AGREEMENT, and fails to remedy such violation of failure within a reasonable time following notice from SELLER, the SELLER may terminate this AGREEMENT, upon the delivery of written notice thereof to the AUCTIONEER, and the AUCTIONEER shall promptly pay to the SELLER all NET PROCEEDS received prior to the date of such termination.

 

Section 11.  Seller’s Authorizations Regarding Bills of Sale.  The SELLER hereby authorizes the AUCTIONEER to execute, on the SELLER’s behalf, all bills of sale, receipts and other documents necessary to transfer title to the ASSETS to the PURCHASER upon payment of the GROSS PROCEEDS.
