In this Agreement, Seller and Purchaser are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Parties.”
RECITALS
     A. Employment Screening Profiles, Inc. and Worldwide Information, Inc., are engaged in the business of providing various types of public and private data to business and credentialed clients throughout the United States (the “Business”).
     B. On June 16, 2011, Seller commenced a case under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code by filing a voluntary petition for relief (“Seller Chapter 11 Case”) with the Bankruptcy Court. On July 15, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court approved the appointment of Stephen S. Gray as Chapter 11 Trustee in the Seller Chapter 11 Case. Purchaser’s purchase of substantially all of Seller’s assets will occur pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing Seller to consummate this Agreement and all transactions required or contemplated hereunder.
     C. On September 21 and 22, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court held an auction (the “Auction”) where the Purchaser was Successful Bidder in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of the Sale Order and this Agreement.
     D. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, Seller wishes to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser wishes to purchase and acquire from Seller, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to certain assets pursuant to Sections 105, 363 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.
     E. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Purchaser proposed terms for a plan of liquidation (the “Plan”) to be proposed by the Seller and co-sponsored by the Purchaser, which Plan constitutes Purchaser’s primary offer for the acquisition of the equity of the reorganized Seller.
     F. Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Seller, Purchaser and the Escrow Holder entered into an Escrow Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit G (“Escrow Agreement”).
AGREEMENT
     In consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

     Section 2.7. Procedures for Assumption of Agreements. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the entry of the Sale Order, at the Closing and pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, Seller shall assume and assign to Purchaser the Assumed Contracts, subject to provision of adequate assurance as may be required under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.
     (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer and shall not effect the assignment or transfer of any Included Asset if (a) an attempted assignment thereof, without the approval, authorization or consent of, or granting or issuance of any license or permit by, any third party thereto (each such action, a “Necessary Consent”), would constitute a breach thereof or in any way adversely affect the rights of Purchaser thereunder and (b) the Bankruptcy Court shall not have entered an Order providing that such Necessary Consent is not required under applicable Law. In such event, Seller will use their best efforts to obtain the Necessary Consents, at their cost and expense, with respect to any such Included Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder for the assignment thereof to Purchaser as Purchaser may reasonably request. To the extent that Seller cannot obtain such Necessary Consent prior to Closing, Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate such Included Asset as an “Excluded Asset” hereunder, with a corresponding reduction in Cash Purchase Price as mutually agreed upon by the Parties, in which event (and only in which event) such Consent

6


 

shall not be deemed a Necessary Consent for purposes of the condition set forth in Section 6.1(e). Once Consent for the sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance or delivery of any such asset not sold, transferred, assigned, conveyed or delivered at the Closing is obtained, Seller shall promptly transfer, assign, convey and deliver such asset to Purchaser at no additional cost, other than remittance of an amount equal to the reduction in Cash Purchase Price applicable to such asset. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.7(a), the condition set forth in Section 6.1(e) shall apply to all Necessary Consents.
     (b) At the Closing, Seller shall assume and assign to Purchaser the Assumed Contracts pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and the Sale Order, subject to provision of adequate assurance as may be required under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and payment of the Cure Costs in respect of the Assumed Contracts. All Cure Costs in respect of Assumed Contracts shall be borne by Purchaser.
     (c) If following the Closing, Seller receives or becomes aware that it holds any asset, property or right which constitutes an Included Asset, then Seller shall transfer such asset, property or right to Purchaser as promptly as practicable for no additional consideration.
     (d) If following the Closing, Purchaser receives or becomes aware that it holds any asset, property or right which constitutes an Excluded Asset, then Purchaser shall transfer such asset, property or right to Seller as promptly as practicable for no additional consideration.
     Section 2.8. Purchase Price Deposit and Escrow Amount.
     (a) Seller and Purchaser have on the date hereof entered into the Escrow Agreement, and Purchaser has deposited with the Escrow Holder, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, as an earnest good-faith money deposit and security for the performance of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement, an amount equal to $100,000 (the “Purchase Price Deposit”). As additional security for the performance of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement, the Purchaser shall deposit with the Escrow Holder, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, on or before November 30, 2011, an amount equal to $300,000 as follows: $100,000 on or before September 30, 2011, $100,000 on or before October 31, 2011 and $100,000 on or before November 30, 2011 (the “Escrow Amount”). The Purchase Price Deposit and the Escrow Amount shall be held by the Escrow Holder in a segregated escrow account in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement and this Agreement. The parties shall bear equally the fees and costs of the Escrow Holder.
     (b) At the Closing, the Purchase Price Deposit (and interest thereon accrued, if any) and the Escrow Amount shall be credited and applied toward the Cash Purchase Price.
     Section 2.9. Purchase Price Allocation. The Purchase Price (and all other capitalizable costs) will be allocated for Tax purposes (the “Allocation”) among the Included Assets in accordance with Schedule 2.9 and with IRC Section 1060 as mutually agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller. Purchaser shall submit a proposed allocation to Seller not more than thirty (30) days after the Closing and such proposed allocation shall be subject to consent from Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as such allocation is in accordance with the specifications set forth on Schedule 2.9. Seller shall have thirty (30) days from notice of such

7


 

proposed allocation to object thereto. Any such objection shall be made by notice and shall specify, in reasonable detail, the specific areas of Seller’s disagreement with Purchaser’s proposed allocation and the reasons therefor. Any items of Purchaser’s proposed allocation that Seller does not timely object to in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed final and shall be binding upon the Parties. The Parties shall report, act and file Tax Returns (including, but not limited to Internal Revenue Service Form 8594) in all respects and for all purposes consistent with the agreed upon Allocation. No Party hereto shall take any position (whether in audits, Tax Returns or otherwise) that is inconsistent with the Allocation unless required to do so by applicable Law.

          WHEREAS, the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement were approved by an Order authorizing the sale of assets entered by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts on __________, 2011 (the “Sale Order”). Among other things, the Sale Order authorized, subject to the Assignment Procedures approved in the Bidding Procedures Order, Seller to assign, and Purchaser to assume, all of the Assumed Contracts pursuant to Sections 365(b), (c), and (f) of the Bankruptcy Code.
          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
          1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms that are used but not defined in this Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

Except as set forth in Section 3 below and subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, Seller does hereby sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under all of the Included Assets, free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances and Assumed Liabilities) pursuant to Sections 105, 363, and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.
          3. Excluded Assets. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Excluded Assets are specifically excluded from the Included Assets and shall be retained by Seller at and following the Closing Date.

          5. Excluded Liabilities. Purchaser shall not assume or be obligated to pay, perform or otherwise discharge any Excluded Liabilities, which shall remain the sole obligation and responsibility of Seller.

          8. Governing Law. This Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall be construed and interpreted, and the rights of the parties shall be determined, in accordance with the substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to any provision thereof that would require the application of the substantive laws of any other jurisdiction, except to the extent that such laws are superseded by the Bankruptcy Code.
          9. Construction. This Assignment and Assumption Agreement is delivered pursuant to and is subject to the Purchase Agreement.

OPERATING LEASE AGREEMENT

 


 

OPERATING LEASE AGREEMENT
     This Operating Lease Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of September 30, 2011 (the “Effective Date”) by and between LPHC Acquisition Partners LLC (“LPHC”), and Employment Screening Profiles, Inc., a Florida corporation, and Worldwide Information, Inc., a Delaware corporation (collectively, “Seller”).
     WHEREAS, Seller is engaged in the business of providing various types of public and private data to business and credentialed clients throughout the United States (the “Business”);
     WHEREAS, on June 16, 2011, Seller commenced a case under title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101-1330 (the “Bankruptcy Code”), by filing a voluntary petition for relief in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts (the “Bankruptcy Court”), Case No. 11-15791(JNF);
     WHEREAS, Seller has agreed to the terms of (a) a proposed plan (the “Plan”) of reorganization to be co-sponsored by LPHC and Seller, and (b) a contingent asset purchase agreement (the “LPHC APA”) with LPHC pursuant to which LPHC would purchase the Included Assets (as defined in the LPHC APA) of Seller; and
     WHEREAS, the Plan contemplates that Seller and LPHC shall enter into an agreement relating to the operation, maintenance, risk of loss, injury and cost of Seller’s Business.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein and in the Plan and contingent LPHC APA and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Definitions.
     For purposes of this Agreement, capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings given to them in the Plan or LPHC APA.
2. Title; Risk of Loss; Revenues.
     Seller shall retain title to the Included Assets during the Term (as defined below). Except as otherwise provided herein, LPHC shall assume the expense and risk of loss and injury that relate exclusively to the operation by LPHC of the Included Assets and that arise exclusively as a result of actions or omissions occurring during the Term. LPHC shall be entitled to all accounts receivable and all income and revenue attributable to the Business and the Included Assets that arise during Term. If LPHC collects any accounts receivable that arose prior to September 30, 2011, LPHC shall remit such collected amounts to Seller within thirty (30) days of receipt of such amounts.

 


 

3. Control.
     Seller hereby grants LPHC complete control over, and authority to operate and direct, all aspects of the Business, including the Included Assets and the right to relocate any Included Assets during the Term. During the Term, unless directed by LPHC, Seller shall cooperate with LPHC (a) to maintain all tangible and intangible assets used in the operation of the Business as of immediately prior to the Effective Date and to continue to operate the Business and the Included Assets at least at the levels of operation of the Business as of immediately prior to the Effective Date, and (b) to relocate and integrate the Included Assets and the Business to and with existing LPHC facilities and operations.
4. Term.
     Subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, the term of this Agreement shall commence at 12:00 a.m. Eastern time on September 30, 2011 and end on the earliest of (a) the date on which the Plan has been confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and all conditions to its effectiveness have been satisfied or waived, (b) the termination of this Agreement, (c) the Closing Date (as defined in the LPHC APA), and (d) January 31, 2012, which date may be extended to February 29, 2012 in accordance with the LPHC APA (the “Term”).
5. Services.
     All actual costs and expenses incurred by Seller at LPHC’s direction and in accordance with this Agreement that relate to the operation of the Business during the Term, shall be reimbursed by LPHC.
     5.1 Services. During the Term, Seller agrees to provide LPHC use of those services described on Schedule A hereto (the “Services” and each service listed, a “Service”) on the terms specified in Schedule A and herein. LPHC may, upon five (5) days written notice to Seller, terminate the provision of any Service.
     5.2 Cooperation. The parties shall cooperate with each other and provide such assistance as is reasonably required for Seller to provide the Services. Such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, the timely provision of any information reasonably required in connection with the provision of the Services.
6. Use of Premises and Facilities; Operation of the Business.
     6.1 Premises. Seller agrees to grant to LPHC the use of (a) a portion of the existing physical space and facilities used by Seller in connection with the Business (the “Premises”) within the buildings located on such Premises (the “Building”). LPHC shall have the right to reasonably identify the specific Premises to be used in the Buildings from time to time. The parties recognize that the use of certain portions of the Premises are needed by LPHC to operate the Business and Seller to administer its bankruptcy estate during the Term and agree to work cooperatively in respect of use of this shared space. Either Seller or LPHC may terminate its use of any Premises upon five (5) days written notice to the other party.

2


 

     6.2 Telecommunications, Internet and Utility Services. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide/continue to provide to each of the Premises, as applicable, telecommunications services, internet services, electricity, water and heating, ventilating and air conditioning at the levels provided immediately prior to the Effective Date and at levels reasonably sufficient to allow LPHC to conduct the Business as the Business was conducted prior to the Effective Date. Seller shall not, however, be liable for the interruption of any services or utilities; provided however that Seller shall reasonably cooperate with LPHC to remediate as promptly as reasonably practicable any such interruption of services. LPHC shall be responsible for any additional security and/or reserve deposit required by the providers of the services described in this Section 6.2, provided that Seller shall turn over, or cause to be turned over, to LPHC any such deposit, net of wire transfer fees and/or any other fees or offsets, if any, to the extent related to the Services, no later than two (2) Business Days after such deposit is returned from a provider, as applicable, to Seller. Any such additional security and/or reserve deposit posted by LPHC shall not constitute property of Seller’s bankruptcy estate but shall be and at all times shall remain LPHC’s property.
     6.3 Use; Compliance with Laws; Rules. LPHC may use the Premises consistent with the operation of the Business prior to the Effective Date and only for the specific, allowed purposes set forth in the respective lease agreements governing such Premises. LPHC shall observe and comply with all laws with respect to LPHC’s use of each of the Premises. LPHC shall not do or permit anything to be done in, about or with respect to either of the Premises which would (a) injure the Included Assets, the Premises or the Building or (b) vibrate, shake, overload, or impair the efficient operation of the Premises or the Building or any of the building systems located therein. LPHC shall comply with all reasonable rules and regulations promulgated from time to time by Seller, including, without limitation, rules relating to security and access within the Buildings, as applicable. With respect to all of the foregoing, Seller shall promptly notify LPHC if its actions fail to comply in order to permit LPHC to cure or otherwise remedy such failure.
     6.4 Insurance. LPHC shall obtain and keep in full force and effect, at LPHC’s sole cost, insurance substantially similar to insurance which Seller has in place for the Business as of the date hereof, including, but not limited to commercial general liability policy of insurance protecting LPHC against claims for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage based upon, involving or arising out of LPHC’s use or occupancy of each of the Included Assets, Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall be on an occurrence basis providing single limit coverage in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence. The policy shall include coverage for liability assumed under this Agreement as an “insured contract” for the performance of LPHC’s indemnity obligations under this Agreement, and shall name Seller as an additional insured. In addition, LPHC shall obtain and keep in full force and effect, at LPHC’s sole cost, a policy of “all risk” property insurance insuring the Included Assets and all personal property associated with the operation of the Business in each of the Premises. LPHC shall deliver certificates evidencing such insurance to Seller upon request. Each such insurance policy shall be in a form and from an insurance company reasonably acceptable to Seller.
     6.5 Hazardous Materials. LPHC shall not, without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole discretion, use, store, transport or dispose of any Hazardous Material in or about the Premises. LPHC, at its sole cost, shall comply with

3

4
