AGREEMENT

 

This Agreement (this “Agreement”), is made and entered into as of December , 2015, by and between Boxlight Corporation (f/k/a Logical Choice Corporation), a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and Loeb & Loeb LLP, a California limited liability partnership (“Loeb”).

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of an engagement letter executed on August 27, 2014 (the “Engagement Letter”), the Company engaged Loeb as its securities counsel to provide advice in connection with an initial public offering of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “IPO”), including without limitation, preparing and filing a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission;

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Engagement Letter, Loeb was to be compensated for its services in cash in an amount equal to $325,000 upon the successful completion of the IPO;

 

WHEREAS, the IPO has not been consummated and because the fees generated by Loeb in connection with the IPO have far exceeded the initial agreed upon compensation terms the Company and Loeb had agreed to fix the fees payable to Loeb through the date hereof at $650,000 (the “Fixed Fee”);

 

WHEREAS, the IPO was significantly downsized and, as a result, there will be insufficient funds for the Company to pay Loeb the full amount of the Fixed Fee at the consummation of the Offering;

 

WHEREAS, both parties have reached an agreement on the manner and timing of the payment of the Fixed Fee;

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

 

1. The Company and Loeb acknowledge and agree that a cash payment in the amount of $650,000 (the “Fixed Fee”) is due and owing. At the closing of the IPO, the Company shall (i) make a cash payment to Loeb in the amount of $162,500 of the Fixed Fee, and (ii) issue 223,667 restricted shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) to Loeb.

 

2. Commencing with the first month after the closing of the IPO, the Company shall make six monthly cash payments to Loeb each in the amount of $27,000 no later than the fifth day of each month, which shall equal in the aggregate, $162,000 of the Fixed Fee. Upon receipt of the entire $162,000, Loeb will return to the Company 67,100 of the Shares (the “First Tranche Shares”) for no consideration.

 

   
 

 

3. Not later than 12 months after the closing of the IPO, the Company shall pay to Loeb the remaining $325,500 balance of the Fixed Fee less any prepayment, upon receipt of which Loeb will return to the Company 134,200 of the Shares (the “Second Tranche Shares”) for no consideration.

 

4. The Company shall retain Loeb as its securities counsel for the purpose of advising and assisting the Company with the preparation and filing of reports under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The agreed upon fee for such services shall be $7,000 payable on a monthly basis commencing with the first month after the closing of the IPO.

 

5. The payments made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be in full satisfaction of the amount of all fees due to Loeb in connection with the IPO. Failure by the Company to timely make cash payments pursuant to paragraphs 2 or 3 shall result in the loss of the Company’s right to reacquire the First Tranche Shares and the Second Tranche Shares, respectively. With respect to the monthly payments due under paragraph 2, if such monthly payment is not made by the fifth day of the month, the Company shall have a period of 30 days from such date payment was due to cure the untimely payment. Payments made within the cure period shall be deemed to have been timely made.

6. The Shares may only be disposed of in compliance with U.S. state and U.S. federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Shares other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an affiliate of Loeb the Company may require Loeb to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by Loeb and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations provided to Loeb under this Agreement.

 

7. Each certificate representing the Shares, shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form (in addition to any legend required by applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws):

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (THE “SECURITIES”) HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR THE COMPANY SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.”

 

8. Excepting only their respective rights to enforce the terms of this Agreement and subject to Section 10, the Company and Loeb fully and forever release, remise and fully discharge each other, and their respective (where applicable) agents, employees, predecessors, representatives, subsidiaries, affiliates, parents, divisions, owners, officers, directors, attorneys, heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns from and against all actions, proceedings, causes of action, claims for relief, demands, rights, titles, interests, damages, losses, costs, expenses, disbursements (including attorneys’ fees), obligations, liabilities and other claims of every nature whatsoever, made or asserted, known, unknown or suspect as of the date of this Agreement, relating to Loeb’s fees, and covenant not to sue or otherwise initiate or cause to be instituted or in any way participate in any proceedings or actions concerning the fees.
