NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Commission
Payment. Integrated hereby agrees to pay a commission on all
sales made by Integrated, with such commission to be paid on a weekly basis by
no later than the immediately following Wednesday after the end of each calendar
week. The commission shall be 3% until the end of December 14, 2012
and then 2% for the next 36 months on gross sales, less invoice taxes and
intermediary service fees (“Net Sales”) actually collected by Integrated; provided that to the
extent such commission is not timely paid, such unpaid commission (“Carryover
Commissions”) shall be paid, in whole, with the next weekly installment of
commissions, but only to the extent that the commission has not already been
paid by Tri-State pursuant to Section 2 herein. To the extent any
commissions are not paid by Integrated, Rosenthal shall reasonably exercise its
right to collect such unpaid commissions from Tri-State. All payments
of commissions shall be paid directly to Rosenthal via a wire transfer of
immediately available funds per the wiring instructions Rosenthal has provided
to Integrated or in immediately available funds via another form of payment
acceptable to Rosenthal. All payments received by Rosenthal hereunder
shall reduce the obligations under the Rosenthal Loan
Agreement. Integrated hereby further agrees to prepare and deliver to
Rosenthal on a weekly basis all data and other supporting information to
ascertain the commission amount, and such data and supporting information shall
be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Rosenthal.
2. Guaranty.
(a) Tri-State
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a guaranty of payment and
performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection, (i) the due and punctual
payment when due of any and all of the commission payments due hereunder by
Integrated, including, without limitation, the Carryover Commissions, and (ii)
the due and punctual payment when due in accordance with the Asset Purchase
Agreement of the commission payments outstanding under the Original Commission
Agreement and assumed by Integrated pursuant to the Asset Purchase
Agreement. Tri-State acknowledges and agrees that its obligations
hereunder are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, that this is a continuing
guarantee of payment, and that this guarantee shall remain in full force and
effect and be binding upon Tri-State, and its respective successors and assigns
until the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of the obligations
guaranteed hereby.
(b) Tri-State
hereby waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to Integrated
of the commission payments and all other monetary obligations of Integrated to
Rosenthal under this Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement, and also waives
notice of acceptance of its guaranty and notice of protest for
nonpayment. The obligations of Tri-State hereunder shall not be
affected by the failure of any of the Companies and/or Rosenthal to assert any
claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Integrated or
Tri-State.
(c) The
obligations of Tri-State hereunder shall not be subject to any limitation,
impairment or termination for any reason, including, without limitation, any
claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be
subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination
whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the
commission payments and all other monetary obligations of Integrated or
otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
obligations of Tri-State hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or
otherwise affected by the failure of Rosenthal to assert any claim or demand or
to enforce any remedy under this Agreement or the Asset Purchase Agreement, or
any guaranty or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any
provision thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in
the performance of any obligations, or by any other act or omission which may or
might otherwise in any manner or to any extent vary the risk or reduce or
extinguish the liability of Tri-State or otherwise operate as a discharge of
Tri-State as a matter of law or equity.
2
(d) Tri-State
hereby waives and releases in favor of Rosenthal all rights of subrogation
against or in respect of Integrated and all rights of indemnification,
contribution and reimbursement from Integrated and its property, in each case in
connection with this guaranty and any payments made hereunder, and regardless of
whether such rights arise by operation of law, pursuant to contract or otherwise
until such time as the commission payments and all other monetary obligations of
Integrated to Rosenthal under this Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement
have been fully paid.
3. Choice of
Law and Venue. The parties hereto agree that this Agreement
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
New York. Any dispute
or action pursuant to this Agreement will be subject to the exclusive
jurisdiction of either the Federal or State Courts located in the County of New

4. Benefits/Assignment. This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto,
and their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however, that no
party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other
parties hereto, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. This
Agreement is intended solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and not
intended to, and shall not create any enforceable third-party beneficial
rights.
5. Books and
Records. Each Company and Rosenthal shall have access upon
reasonable notice during normal business hours, to examine the books and records
of Integrated for the purposes of ascertaining Integrated’s gross sales and Net
Sales.
