AGREEMENT

 

This Agreement ("Agreement") is made as of the 21st day of November, 2015, by and among Allen R. Kronstadt (“Kronstadt”), Axion International Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"), Axion International, Inc. ("International") and Axion Recycled Plastics Incorporated (“Plastics”). (Holdings, International and Plastics are hereinafter collectively referred to as "Axion"), as follows:

 

WHEREAS, Kronstadt holds certain secured and unsecured debt obligations issued by Axion and equity securities in Holdings;

 

WHEREAS, Holdings, International and Plastics have indicated that due to their desperate financial condition they will be unlikely to repay the unsecured debt obligations to Kronstadt;

 

WHEREAS, Kronstadt desires to reduce the Axion debt obligations he holds and eliminate his equity interests in Holdings in order to facilitate Holdings' ability to restructure its consolidated balance sheet and raise additional capital; and

 

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to set forth their mutual agreements and understandings.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals set forth above and made a material part of this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration acknowledged to have been received, the parties hereto agree:

 

1.           Kronstadt shall do the following and Holdings and Axion shall do the following, as applicable:

 

a.           SALE OF NOTES: Kronstadt hereby sells to Axion any and all of (i) the unsecured debt obligations issued by Axion (or any of its subsidiaries) to Kronstadt, and (ii) the debt obligations issued by Axion (or any of its subsidiaries) which are secured by a pledge of Holding’s shares in International and Plastics as set forth on the attached Exhibit “A”, for an aggregate total sales price of Two Dollars ($2.00). Axion hereby represents to Kronstadt that all of such notes are registered in the books and records of Axion in the name of Kronstadt, that these are the only unsecured debt obligations issued by Axion (or any of its subsidiaries) to Kronstadt, that these are the only debt obligations issued by Axion (or any of its subsidiaries) to Kronstadt which are secured by a pledge of Holding’s shares in International and Plastics and that as of the Effective Date, Axion shall transfer ownership of all of such notes to Axion. Axion further agrees to not report the purchase of such promissory notes as capital contributions from Kronstadt. Except for all of such unsecured debt obligations and debt obligations secured by a pledge of Holding’s shares in International and Plastics, Kronstadt shall retain all of the other secured debt obligations issued by Axion (or any of its subsidiaries) to Kronstadt.

 

b.           Kronstadt hereby also sells, assigns and transfers to Holdings all of his warrant, preferred and common shares of stock in Holdings as more particularly described on Exhibit “B” for an aggregate total sales price of Two Dollars ($2.00). Holdings hereby represents to Kronstadt that all of such stock is recorded and registered in the books and records of Holdings, that this is all of the stock owned by Kronstadt in his sole name in Holdings and that as of the Effective Date Holdings shall transfer ownership of all of stock owned by Kronstadt in his individual name to Holdings whether or not the stock is described on Exhibit B.

c.           Axion shall maintain in full force and effect directors and officers liability insurance policies covering former officers and directors, which policies shall provide coverage for such parties that is at least as extensive as the coverage under the policies that are in force as of the date of this Agreement. In the event Axion is unable to maintain or renew all such policies upon the same or better terms and conditions with respect to former officers and directors, then Axion shall provide written notice to Kronstadt at least 60 days prior to the expiration, cancellation or other termination of such policies.
