Re: Letter of Intent Re: Merger
of Tactical Air Support, Inc.
Dear Mr.
Thompson:
This
letter of intent (the “LOI”) sets forth the
understanding of the mutual intentions of the below parties regarding the
proposed transaction between: (i) Tactical Air Defense Services, Inc., a Nevada
corporation (“TADF”) and (ii)
Tactical Air Support, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and all of its subsidiaries
(“TAS”) (TADF
and TAS may be referred to hereinafter individually as a “Party” and
collectively as the “Parties”). Each Party
understands and acknowledges that this LOI will be subject to more definitive
agreements as further described below.
1. Transaction
Architecture. TAS shall transfer to TADF all
shares of TAS’s common stock and preferred stock, which shall represent 100% of
the equity interest of TAS (the “TAS Equity”), such
that TAS shall become a wholly owned subsidiary of TADF. In exchange, the
existing shareholders of TAS (the “TAS Shareholders”)
shall be issued shares of TADF’s common stock such that the TAS Shareholders
shall own approximately 45.75% of the issued and outstanding shares of TADF’s
common stock as of the moment the transaction closes (the “TAS Shares”). (The
above exchange shall be referred to herein as the “Transaction”).
Following the closing of the Transaction, the post-Transaction entity shall
assume the name “Tactical Air Support, Inc.” The Transaction may be structured
as a tax-free share exchange agreement or other similar agreement.
2. Transaction
Closing. The Parties shall use their commercially best efforts
to close the Transaction (the “Closing”) within 120
days of execution by both Parties of this LOI, although the Closing may take
place prior to 120 days from execution of this LOI upon written agreement by
both Parties, and may be extended beyond 120 days from execution of this LOI
upon written agreement by both Parties.
3. Appointment of
Management. Following the Closing of the Transaction,
TADF’s management and Board of Directors shall be as follows:
Rolland C.
Thompson Chief
Executive Officer and Director
Alexis
Korybut Chief
Financial Officer and Director
Gen. Ronald R.
Fogleman Director
Such
appointments shall be subject to further employment agreements between TADF and
the above named parties, with such final agreements to be included in the
Definitive Agreements described below.
4. Existing TAS
Liabilities. As of the date of this LOI, TAS currently
maintains a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of approximately
$1,750,000 (the “Note”) and additional
other outstanding short-term debts, accrued salaries and other liabilities. Such
liabilities shall be assumed by TADF following Closing of the Transaction. Upon
Closing of the Transaction, TADF shall pay down and fully extinguish all
principal and interest remaining under the Note as of such Closing date. In the
event any shares are issued in connection with the above described purchase of
the Note, such shares shall be deemed to have been issued following Closing of
the Transaction and the issuance of such shares shall not be included in nor
accounted for when calculating the 45.75% of the issued and outstanding shares
of TADF’s common stock due and payable to the TAS Shareholders.
5. Existing TADF
Liabilities. TADF agrees that the existing holders of TADF convertible
debentures shall, upon Closing of the Transaction:
|
-
|
amend
the annual interest rate of all existing convertible debentures to eight
(8%) percent; and
|
|
-
|
agree
to forbear such holder’s rights in connection with enforcing cash payment
of any interest and/or principle in connection with any convertible
debenture at the sole discretion of a majority of the Board of Directors
of the TADF.
|
6. Existing Legal
Liabilities. During the Due Diligence Period (as defined
below) each Party shall have disclosed all legal claims and liabilities to the
other Party and prior to the Closing of the Transaction, such legal claims and
liabilities shall have been resolved to the satisfaction of the opposing Party.
Upon completion of the Due Diligence Period and prior to Closing, TADF shall
issue into escrow a number of shares of TADF common stock and/or an amount of
cash as reasonably mutually agreed between the Parties prior to Closing, as a
contingency for any unknown and unresolved litigation, judgments, claims and
actual or reasonably potential claims against TADF. Upon Closing, TAS shall
place into escrow a number of the TAS Shares and/or an amount of cash, as
reasonably mutually agreed between the Parties prior to Closing, as a
contingency for any unknown and unresolved litigation, judgments, claims and
actual or reasonably potential claims against TAS.
7. Lock Up and Leak Out
Agreements. Upon Closing of the Transaction, all TAS and
TADF post-Transaction shareholders owning shares of common stock of the
post-Transaction entity in excess of three percent (3%) of the then issued and
outstanding shares of common stock shall execute lock up and leak out
agreements, with such final agreements to be negotiated and included in the
Definitive Agreements described below.
8. Transaction Closing
Financing. Prior to Closing of the Transaction and as a
condition precedent, the Parties shall negotiate third party post-Transaction
financing of a minimum of US$500,000, which amount shall be held in an escrow
account and released to the post-Transaction entity upon closing of the
Transaction. In the event any shares are issued in connection with the above
described financing, such shares shall be issued following Closing of the
Transaction and the issuance of such shares shall not be included in nor
accounted for when calculating the 45.75% of the issued and outstanding shares
of TADF’s common stock due and payable to the TAS Shareholders.
9. Definitive
Agreements. Following further negotiations, the
Parties shall commence preparation of definitive legal agreements that will
affect the Transaction and other commitments contemplated herein (the “Definitive
Agreements”). The Definitive Agreements will contain the general
provisions outlined herein in addition to the usual and customary
representations and warranties, covenants, conditions, and indemnifications for
transaction of this kind, including, without limitations: environmental, tax and
