PAYOFF AND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.91
PAYOFF AND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
This payoff and
settlement agreement ("Agreement") is made
this 30th day of September 2005, by and among YouthStream Media
Networks, Inc. ("YouthStream"), Beyond the
Wall, Inc. ("BTW"), 0000 Xxxx Xxxx Xxxxxx
Realty Management, LLC ("Main Street"), and
Clive Corporation, Inc. ("Clive"), with
reference to the following facts:
A. | On or about February 24, 2004, the parties hereto (excluding Main Street) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement ("APA"), whereby BTW sold certain assets to Clive. |
B. | In connection with the APA, Clive executed and delivered to BTW, a Secured Promissory Note, dated February 24, 2004, in the sum of $1,100,000 ("Note"), as partial payment of the purchase price for the assets sold by BTW to Clive. |
C. | Pursuant to the APA, Clive executed and delivered a Security Agreement ("Security Agreement") to BTW, and a UCC-1 Financing Statement, in order to secure the Note. |
D. | Pursuant to an Agreement of Sale, dated February 24, 2004 ("RP Agreement"), by and between BTW and Main Street, BTW sold certain real property located at 0000 Xxxx Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx ("Property") to Main Street, for cash, and Main Street gave a Mortgage to BTW, to further secure the Note. |
E. | According to the terms of the Note, there is a payment of $237,281 principal and interest due on October 31, 2005, and a final payment of $47,732 principal (excluding interest) due on October 31, 2006. |
F. | Certain disputes have arisen between the parties, regarding among other things, the responsibility for payment of taxes, interest and penalties. |
G. | Clive desires to payoff the Note early, with a discount. |
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Payoff Amount. On or before September 30, 2005, Clive shall pay to BTW (or its nominee), in immediately available funds, the sum of $258,922 ("Payoff Amount")1 , in full satisfaction of any and all sums owing under the Note. Upon receiving such payment, the original of the Note shall be marked PAID IN FULL and sent to Clive. The parties acknowledge that the Payoff Amount is less than the amount owing under the Note, but that BTW is accepting less as a compromise of a dispute between the parties relative to, among other things, purported responsibility for payment of taxes, interest and penalties, if any.
2. Termination of Security Agreement. Upon receipt by BTW of good funds in the Payoff Amount, the Security Agreement shall be deemed terminated and canceled and of no further force or effect. In this regard, BTW shall prepare and send to Clive, a UCC-3 Termination Statement, for filing by Clive. The UCC-3 shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit "A", attached hereto. The UCC-3 will permit Clive to terminate the UCC-1 Financing Statement.
3. Termination of Mortgage. Upon receipt by BTW of good funds in the Payoff Amount, BTW shall execute and deliver to Main Street, a Satisfaction Piece, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "B", which will permit Main Street to terminate the Mortgage. Thereafter, the Mortgage shall be deemed terminated, satisfied, cancelled and of no further force or effect.
4. Assumption of Certain Obligations. There exists a dispute between BTW and Clive relative to which party is responsible for the payment of taxes, interest and penalties owing, if any, pursuant to the
1 | $197,734 of principal and $39,547 of accrued interest as of September 30, 2005, less interest for the month of October 2005 of $3,359, plus $25,000 in settlement of the principal payment due on October 31, 2006. |

provisions of Section 4.10 of the APA. In consideration of the compromise being made by BTW pursuant to this Agreement, Clive agrees to assume, be responsible for, and to defend and indemnify BTW and YouthStream from any and all claims, suits, liabilities, obligations, losses, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising out of or related in any matter whatsoever to Section 4.10 of the APA, including but not limited to the responsibility for tax audits. For the sake of clarity, Clive agrees that it alone and not BTW will be responsible for the preparation and filing of all tax returns, and the compliance with and coordination of all tax audits, and any and all taxes, interest and penalties pertaining to the operations of the Business (as defined in the APA) sold to Clive under the APA, for all periods through the Closing under the APA.
