Following the Closing, Buyer shall have the right to sell any Purchased Asset which Buyer determines, in its sole discretion, is not needed for continuing operations relating to the Purchased Assets, and Buyer shall retain all consideration received by Buyer in connection with any such sale. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign, sell or transfer any contract or any other asset that is not assignable or transferrable without the consent of any Person to the extent that such consent shall not have been given prior to the Closing (the “Unassigned Assets”), and any such Unassigned Asset shall not be a Purchased Asset under this Agreement; provided, that the Seller shall assign its freely assignable rights under such Unassigned Assets.  The Purchased Assets shall include $200,000 of the Loan Parties’ cash (the “Purchased Cash”), which shall be wired to the Buyer no later than the business day following the Closing Date. Within ten days following the Closing Date, Seller shall obtain from the Loan Parties, and deliver to Buyer, a schedule setting forth the Purchased Assets with a value of $25,000 or more (the “Material Assets”) and a written certification (the “Asset Certification”) providing that the Loan Parties owned such Material Assets immediately prior to the Closing Date, that such Material Assets were included in the Purchased Assets and the location of such Material Assets.

At the Closing, Buyer shall assume, discharge and perform and be solely liable for the liabilities of the Loan Parties described in Schedule 1.2 (the “Assumed Liabilities”). With the exception of those certain liabilities more particularly described in Schedule 1.2, Buyer shall not assume or be liable for any debts, obligations or liabilities of Seller or any of the Loan Parties, whether related to the Purchased Assets or to the Loan Parties’ other assets and whether known or unknown, including, but not limited to, payroll, related benefits, or any accounts payable related to periods prior to the Closing, except for paid time off (including, without limitation, accrued vacation) owed to former MVF employees employed by Buyer in connection with the Closing (the “Hired Employee”) to the extent (i) accrued and unused as of the Closing Date and (ii) such Hired Employees have not requested such paid time off to be paid by MVF (“PTO”). Buyer shall not advise or encourage any Hired Employee to request paid time off to be paid by MVF and shall not waive, amend, modify or terminate any provision of an offer letter executed by a Hired Employee (“Offer Letter”) related to paid (personal) time off. If requested by Seller, Buyer shall provide Offer Letters to Seller. For purposes of clarity, Buyer shall not assume any liability or obligation for paid time off of employees of the Loan Parties who have not agreed that such paid time off shall be assumed by the Buyer.

 

1.3          Purchase Price. In consideration for the sale and transfer of the Purchase Assets to Buyer, on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 5.1 below), in full payment for all right, title and interest of Seller in the Purchased Assets, Buyer shall issue to Lenders (i) 2,000,000 shares (the “Common Shares”) of common stock of Buyer (“Common Stock”), and (ii) a five-year warrant (the “Warrant”, and together with the Common Shares, the “Consideration”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, to purchase 800,000 shares (the “Warrant Shares”, and together with the Common Shares, the “Shares”) of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share.

Buyer agrees to reasonably cooperate with Seller to the extent reasonably requested by Seller to minimize sales and use taxes in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that Buyer shall not be required to incur any out-of-pocket expense in connection with such compliance unless Seller agrees to promptly reimburse Buyer for such expense.

A “change of control transaction” shall include, without limitation, any transaction (by stock sale, merger, consolidation or otherwise) whereby any Person or group of Persons acquire 50% or more of the voting securities of Buyer or any sale of all or any material portion of the assets of Buyer or its subsidiaries (including, without limitation, equity interests of Buyer’s subsidiaries).

 

(c)          If on any date after the Closing Date, the Seller and MOF II (together with their affiliate transferees) beneficially own in the aggregate less than 90% of the Common Shares acquired by the Seller and MOF II pursuant to this Agreement, Seller shall no longer be entitled to designate any Seller Directors to Buyer’s Board and the Seller Directors shall, upon the written request of Buyer, promptly tender their resignations.

4.3          Buyer Shareholder Approval. Buyer shall take all action necessary and within its powers under applicable law to call, give notice of and hold in November 2015 its annual meeting of shareholders (the "Annual Meeting") for purposes of obtaining the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock to amend Buyer's Bylaws to increase the authorized number of directors to seven (7) directors ("Shareholder Approval") and to elect the Seller Directors to the Board.

 

 

4.4          Stock Options. Buyer will not “cash out” any stock options of Buyer outstanding as of the Closing Date in anticipation of, or as a result of, the transactions contemplated herein. Such stock options will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms. It is expected that Buyer's Board will evaluate an option package for the new management team of Buyer after the Closing.

 

4.5          Reasonable Efforts. Each party to this Agreement agrees to provide reasonable cooperation to the other party in the performance of all obligations under this Agreement. Each party shall use its reasonable efforts to satisfy or cause to be satisfied, at or prior to the Closing, the conditions to the other party’s Closing obligations under this Agreement.

 

4.6          Publicity; Confidentiality.

 

(a)          Except for a filing of a report on Form 8-K with the SEC within four business days after the execution of this Agreement and the Closing Date, without the prior written approval of Buyer and Seller, no party shall disclose the existence and/or contents of any discussions relating hereto nor issue any press release or other public disclosure regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as required by applicable securities or other laws.

 

(b)          Seller and each Lender understands and agrees that any confidential and proprietary information of the Buyer, including, without limitation, any and all trade secrets (“Confidential Information”), constitutes valuable assets and, following the Closing, agrees not to, and agrees to cause its controlled affiliates not to, direct or indirectly, disclose any Confidential Information; provided, however, that Confidential Information shall not include any information that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement by Seller or a Lender. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, neither Seller nor any Lender will be restricted from disclosing Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed by law; provided, however, that in the event disclosure is required by law after the Closing, (i) the applicable Seller or Lender shall provide the Buyer with as much advanced notice as is practicable of such requirement so that the Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order prior to any such required disclosure, and (ii) the applicable Seller or Lender shall (A) use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Buyer in seeking such protective order (at the Buyer’s cost and expense) and (B) only disclose the portion of the Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed by the law.

 

(c)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement may disclose the contents of this Agreement and Confidential Information in any legal proceedings between the parties relating to this Agreement or to any advisors, service providers or investors (provided such advisors, service providers and investors agree to treat such Confidential Information in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.6).

 

 

4.7          Transition Costs. Following the Closing, Buyer shall (i) be responsible for Buyer’s moving expenses and other expenses, if any, caused by Buyer’s negligence or willful conduct related to the relocation of Purchased Assets from MVF's facilities located at 2300 W. Empire Ave., Burbank, CA 91504 (the "Burbank Facility"), 2500 Broadway Ave., Santa Monica, CA 90404 (the "Santa Monica Facility"), and 1733 Flower St., Glendale, CA 91201 (the "Glendale Facility," and together with the Burbank Facility and the Santa Monica Facility, the "Facilities"), and (ii) pay a portion of the rent for each Facility to its landlord on a per diem basis based on the number of days post-Closing, if any and as applicable, that Buyer occupies such Facility to complete the foregoing relocation of Purchase Assets.

 

4.8          MVF Employees. As of the Closing, other than PTO, Seller shall ensure that all payment obligations of MVF to current or past employees of MVF have been satisfied in full under California law, which shall consist solely of current wages, and that all MVF employees are terminated. Buyer shall have no liability or responsibility with respect to any obligations to, or any claims of, any current or past MVF employees, except with respect to PTO as set forth in Section 1.2 above. Prior to the Closing, Buyer shall make an offer in writing to hire all existing employees of MVF whose names are listed in the document entitled “Modern VideoFilm, Inc., Current Active Employees,” which Seller delivered to Buyer or its representatives on July 5, 2015 (the “Employee List”), in substantially similar roles, and with the same annual salary, as set forth on the Employee List with respect to such employee. For the avoidance of doubt, other than PTO assumed as provided in Section 1.2, Buyer is not assuming any of the Loan Parties’ obligations or liabilities to its employees.

 

4.9          Employment Agreements. Following the Closing, as promptly as practicable following the next scheduled Buyer board meeting, HB and Alan R. Steel shall enter into Employment Agreements with Buyer.

 

4.10       Term Loan. Upon the Closing, Seller shall agree to provide Buyer a five-year, $6,000,000 term loan, pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement ("Term Loan Agreement").

 

4.11       PTO. Seller agrees that (i) within 5 days following the Closing it will deliver to Buyer a true, correct and complete list of all Hired Employees who requested of MVF that their respective paid time off be paid by MVF, and (ii) thereafter, it will promptly notify Buyer in writing following each request of a Hired Employee to MVF within 180 days after the 5 day period referenced in clause (i), above, that MVF pay such Hired Employee's paid time off, which list and notifications shall contain the name of each such Hired Employee, the date of the request and the amount of the paid time off.

 

4.12       Transactions with Affiliates. At any time that Buyer ceases to have filing obligations under the Exchange Act, neither Buyer nor any direct or indirect subsidiary of Buyer will enter into any material contract (oral or written) or material transaction with (including, without limitation, issuance of equity interests or incurrence of debt to or from) any Affiliated Person without the prior written consent of Seller.

 

4.13       Termination of Certain Rights. Upon the payment in full of all outstanding principal and interest on the Term Loans (as defined) under the Term Loan Agreement, the Seller Directors shall, upon the written request of Buyer, promptly tender their resignations.

 

 

4.14       Access to Information; Books and Records.

 

(a)          From the date hereof until the Closing, (i) Seller shall afford Buyer full and free access to and the right to inspect all of the Purchased Assets and other documents related to the Purchased Assets, and (ii) Seller shall furnish Buyer with all financial, operating, books and records, and other data and information related to the Purchased Assets to enable Buyer to comply with applicable financial reporting and other requirements with respect to reports and filings with the SEC.

The indemnity set forth in this Section 7.6 shall be Buyer’s sole remedy for the matters set forth in this Section 7.6 and in no event shall Buyer be entitled to indemnity, remedy or recourse from Medley, under Section 7.2 or otherwise, for the matters set forth in this Section 7.6 other than pursuant to this Section 7.6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing sentence shall not impair Buyer’s ability to make claims under Section 7.2 related to the validity, priority, extent and enforceability of Seller's liens on, and rights with respect to, the Purchased Assets, and Buyer's ownership of the Purchased Assets free and clear of all liens, security interests and other claims on title and encumbrances.
