Ackerman, as Chapter 7 trustee in the Bankruptcy Case (as defined below) (the “Seller”), on the one hand, and Chatand, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Buyer,” and together with Seller, the “Parties,” and each, a “Party”), on the other hand.

 

A. On June 17, 2013, an involuntary petition was filed under Chapter 7 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) against Freeline Sports, Inc., formerly known as Freeline Skates, Inc. and Draginz Corp. (the “Debtor”).

 

B. On July 22, 2013, an order for relief was entered and the Debtor’s bankruptcy case is pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of California (the “Bankruptcy Court”) styled In re Freeline Sports, Inc., Case Number 13-06272-MM7 (the “Bankruptcy Case”).

 

C. Seller was appointed as Chapter 7 trustee for the Debtor’s estate (the “Estate”) by order entered in the Bankruptcy Case on September 12, 2013.

 

D. Buyer desires to purchase and Seller desires to sell to Buyer, or a successful overbidder, as the case may be, substantially all of the Debtor’s assets free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances, licenses and interests in accordance with Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, and otherwise on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

IN CONSIDERATION OF the premises and mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for good and valuable consideration, the Parties agree as follows:

 

1. Purchase and Sale of Assets. On the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), Seller will transfer, sell, assign and convey to Buyer, and Buyer will purchase and acquire from Seller, free and clear of all liens, claims, licenses, encumbrances and interests, in accordance with Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, all of the Estate’s right, title and interest in and to all of the assets of the Debtor, including those set forth on Exhibit “A” attached hereto, but excluding only those Excluded Assets identified at Exhibit B (collectively referred to herein as the “Assets”). The Assets shall not include the excluded assets set forth in Exhibit “B” attached hereto (collectively referred to herein as the “Excluded Assets”). To the extent the Assets include any books, records and/or other documents (whether in electronic, hard copy or any other form) (collectively, the “Records”), Buyer shall retain copies of the Records or the originals thereof as may be reasonably necessary to administer the Estate and/or wind up the affairs of the Estate and/or the Debtor or otherwise relating thereto; and Buyer agrees to provide reasonable access to Seller to the Records as may be necessary to administer the Estate and/or wind-up the affairs of the Debtor and the Estate or otherwise relating thereto. To the extent the Excluded Assets include any Records, Seller agrees that Buyer shall be permitted to access such Records with Seller’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Buyer understands and acknowledges that Seller has limited Records in his possession and Buyer shall be responsible for obtaining possession of any Records it has acquired, and records it seeks to review that are defined as Excluded Assets (provided that if the Records are Excluded Assets, Buyer must first obtain Seller’s consent). Without limiting the foregoing, Seller may also retain copies of the Records as may be reasonably necessary for such administration and winding up activities, provided that Seller provides Buyer reasonable access to such records upon request. Buyer and Seller agree that no records of the Debtor may be destroyed without the written consent of the other for a period of at least two years after the sale is closed. After such two year period has lapsed, the holder of such records shall be entitled to destroy them after notice to the non-custodial party. If any such records are held by the other, but the non-holding party seeks to retain such records, the non-holding party must request such records and pay the cost of delivering such records to the non-holding entity before two years after the closing date. If a party desires to destroy records within two years of the closing date and the other party refuses to consent to such destruction, the party seeking to destroy the records may deliver such records to the offices of the non-consenting party and the non-consenting party shall be obligated to accept delivery of such records. Without limiting Seller’s other rights, Buyer hereby grants to Seller a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty free license to use the “Freeline Sports,” “Freeline Skates” and “Draginz” names and related names, provided such license extends only to use of such names as may be reasonably necessary in Seller’s efforts to administer the Estate and w ind up the affairs of the Debtor and the Estate, including liquidation of Excluded Assets.

 

  

2. Purchase Price. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) of the Assets shall be Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00), subject to adjustment if Buyer submits an overbid at the Auction (as hereafter defined) payable by Buyer as follows:

 

2.1 Cash Deposit at Execution of Agreement. Buyer shall pay Seller the cash sum of Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000.00) by cashier’s check or wire transfer within five (5) Business Days of the mutual execution of this Agreement (such deposit, the “Deposit”), as a deposit against the Purchase Price. The Deposit shall be paid to and held directly by Seller and may be cashed by Seller. Any interest earned on the Deposit shall be for the account of Seller. The Deposit shall be refunded promptly to Buyer if: (i) the Bankruptcy Court does not approve Seller’s entry into this Agreement and/or this Agreement; (ii) Buyer is neither the Successful Bidder (as hereafter defined) nor the Backup Bidder (as hereafter defined); (iii) Buyer is the Backup Bidder but Seller closes the sale to the Successful Bidder; or (iv) the Closing (as hereinafter defined) fails to occur within the time specified in this Agreement for any reason other than Buyer’s breach of this Agreement or any of its obligations hereunder. If the Closing fails to occur as a result of Buyer’s breach of this Agreement, Seller shall be entitled to receive and retain the Deposit as liquidated damages as provided below.

 

LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. BY PLACING THEIR INITIALS AT THE END OF THIS SECTION, BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT: (A) IF BUYER FAILS TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE ASSETS PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT BY REASON OF BUYERS BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, THEN SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY SHALL BE TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND RECEIVE AND RETAIN THE DEPOSIT TO THE EXTENT THAT IT HAS BECOME NONREFUNDABLE TO BUYER PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND NOT AS A PENALTY, AND UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES, SELLER WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO OBTAIN BUYER’S SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THOSE RIGHTS PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 3384 THROUGH 3395, IF APPLICABLE; AND (B) BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIX SELLER’S ACTUAL DAMAGES IF SUCH A BREACH OCCURS AND THEREFORE THE AMOUNT OF LIQUIDATED DAMAGES SPECIFIED ABOVE SHALL BE PRESUMED TO BE THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES SELLER WOULD SUSTAIN BY REASON OF SUCH A BREACH AND REPRESENTS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THOSE DAMAGES PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1671, IF AND AS APPLICABLE, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT, AMONG OTHER FACTORS, THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AS OF THE TIME OF ENTRY INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the above liquidated damages provision shall not limit any right or remedy of Seller to seek payment of the full amount of the Deposit to the extent that any portion thereof is due but has not yet been paid, and any related fees and costs (including attorneys’ fees). Buyer acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to pay the Deposit and Seller’s right to retain the same in accordance with the foregoing provisions shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

2.2 Cash at Closing. In addition to the Deposit, Buyer shall deliver to Seller the balance of the Purchase Price at the Closing via cashier’s check or by wire transfer. Said sum shall be paid to Seller prior to or on the Closing Date.

Failure of the Bankruptcy Court to approve the Expense Reimbursement provided in this Section 2.3 shall not act to invalidate this Agreement nor give rise to any rights, remedies or claims in favor of Buyer (including any right to terminate this Agreement). The provisions of this Section 2.3 shall be for the benefit of Buyer only and no other person or entity.

 

 

2.4 Sales Tax Payable by Buyer. Buyer shall pay the sales tax due, if any, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

Seller is not selling to Buyer and Buyer is not buying from Seller any inventory in the possession of the Negele Parties. Moreover, Seller makes no representation or warranty whatsoever regarding the inventory, if any, in the possession of the Negele Parties and Buyer shall be solely responsible for negotiating any agreements regarding such inventory with the Negele Parties. In the event an agreement cannot be reached. Buyer shall have whatever rights exist against the Negele Parties as of the Closing subject to the terms of the settlement agreement to be approved by the Bankruptcy Court, provided, however, Seller makes no representations or warranties regarding any such rights. A copy of the settlement agreement has been provided to Buyer and Buyer acknowledges receipt thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bankruptcy Court’s failure to approve the requests set forth in (iii) or (iv) of this Section 12.2 shall not be a basis to object to the form and substance of the Sale Order.

 

13. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by the mutual written consent of the Parties. Either Seller or Buyer may also terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other if the Closing shall not have occurred by the Outside Date contemplated in Section 11 due to no breach by the terminating Party. Buyer may also terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, if any of the conditions in Section 9 are not satisfied, or Seller shall breach any of its obligations under this Agreement. Seller may also terminate this Agreement by written notice to Buyer if any of the conditions in Section 8 are not satisfied, or Buyer shall breach any of its obligations under this Agreement. No termination under this Section 13 shall release either Party from or act as a waiver of any claim against the other Party, at law or in equity (except as limited by Section 2.1) as a result of such termination or as a result of any breach or default under this Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated as provided herein without further order of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

14. Commissions. Buyer and Seller each represent and warrant to the other that no person or entity has been engaged by it as a broker, agent or finder, licensed or otherwise, in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. If any claim is made for a commission or finder’s fee in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, then the Party upon whose alleged statement, representation or agreement that claim arises shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless the other Party from and against all liability, damage and cost (including actual attorneys’ fees) the other Party incurs as a result thereof.
