Note, simultaneously with the Initial Closing, shall be applied to the repayment
of all amounts then outstanding with respect to notes
-10-
issued by the Company in favor of third parties which notes are required to be
repaid in the event of a financing.
(b) Visits and Inspections. The Company agrees to permit, or, in the
----------------------
case of properties, books, records or persons not within its immediate control,
promptly take such actions as are reasonably practicable in order to permit,
representatives (whether or not officers or employees) of the Purchaser, from
time to time upon reasonable advance notice to the chief executive officer of
the Company, as often as may be reasonably requested, to (i) visit and inspect
any properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (ii) inspect and make
extracts from the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries,
including management letters prepared by its independent certified public
accountants, and (iii) discuss with any person, including the principal officers
and the independent certified public accountants of the Company, the results of
operations, condition (financial or otherwise), business, assets or liabilities
of the Company. All such information received shall be held by the Purchaser
and its representatives subject to the confidentiality requirements of Section
8(c).
(c) Confidentiality of Information. The Purchaser agrees to hold and
------------------------------
to cause its representatives and affiliates to hold all information received
from or concerning the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, including information described under Section 8(b), in
confidence, and not to use or disclose any of such information to any such third
party, except to the extent such information may be made publicly available by
the Company.
(d) Reservation of Stock and Fully Paid Shares. If at any time the
------------------------------------------
number of authorized but unissued shares of the Company's Common Stock shall not
be sufficient to effect the exercise of the Warrants, then the Company will take
such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its legal counsel, be necessary
to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of
shares of the Company's Common Stock as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
(e) No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its
-------------
Certificate or By-laws, or through reorganization, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issuance or sale of securities, sale of assets or any other
voluntary action, willfully avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance
of any of the terms of this Agreement, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such
action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the
Purchaser under this Agreement against wrongful impairment.
(f) Compliance with Law. The Company will and will cause each of its
-------------------
Subsidiaries to comply with all laws, ordinances or governmental rules or
regulations to which each of them is subject and will obtain and maintain in
effect all licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental
authorizations necessary to the ownership of their respective properties or to
the conduct of their respective businesses, in each case to the extent necessary
to ensure that non-compliance with such laws, ordinances or governmental rules
or regulations or failures to obtain or maintain in effect such licenses,
certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations would
not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate,
-11-
to have a materially adverse effect on the business, operation, affairs,
financial condition, properties or assets of the Company.
(g) Insurance. The Company will and will cause each of its
---------
Subsidiaries to maintain, with financial sound and reputable insurers, insurance
with respect to their respective properties and businesses against such
casualties and contingencies, of such types, on such terms and in such amounts
(including deductibles, co-insurance and self-insurance, if adequate reserves
are maintained with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of entities of
established reputations engaged in the same or a similar business and similarly
situated.
(h) Maintenance of Properties. The Company will and will cause each
-------------------------
of its Subsidiaries to maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and kept,
their respective properties in good repair, working order and condition (other
than ordinary wear and tear), so that the business carried on in connection
therewith may be properly conducted at all times, provided that this Section
shall not prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation
and maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is desirable in
the conduct of its business and the Company has concluded that such
discontinuance would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a materially
adverse effect on the results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise),
business, assets or liabilities of the Company.
(i) Payment of Taxes. The Company will and will cause each of its
----------------
Subsidiaries to file all income tax or similar tax returns required to be filed
in any jurisdiction and to pay and discharge all taxes shown to be due and
payable on such returns and all other taxes, assessments, governmental charges,
or levies payable by any of them, to the extent such taxes and assessments have
become due and payable and before they have become delinquent, provided that
neither the Company nor any Subsidiary need pay any such tax or assessment if
(i) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by the Company or
such Subsidiary on a timely basis in good faith and in appropriate proceedings,
and the Company or a Subsidiary has established adequate reserves therefor in
accordance with GAAP on the books of the Company or such Subsidiary or (ii) the
nonpayment of all such taxes and assessments in the aggregate would not
reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on the results of
operations, condition (financial or otherwise), business, assets or liabilities
of the Company.
(j) Corporation Existence. The Company will at all times preserve and
---------------------
keep in full force and effect its corporation existence. The Company will at
all times preserve and keep in full force and effect the corporate existence of
each of its Subsidiaries (unless merged into the Company or a Subsidiary) and
all rights and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries unless, in the
good faith judgment of the Company, the termination of or failure to preserve
and keep in full force and effect such corporate existence, right or franchise
would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a materially adverse effect on
the results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise), business, assets
or liabilities of the Company.
(k) Transactions with Affiliates. The Company will not and will not
----------------------------
permit any Subsidiary to enter into directly or indirectly any material
transaction or material group of related transactions (including without
limitation the purchase, lease, sale or exchange of properties of any kind or
rendering of any services) with any affiliate (other than the Company or another
Subsidiary), except pursuant to the reasonable requirements of the Company's or
such
-12-
Subsidiary's business and upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable
to the Company or such Subsidiary than would be obtainable in a comparable
arm's-length transaction with a person not an affiliate of the Company.
(l) Merger, Consolidation, etc. Except for its reincorporation into
---------------------------
Delaware, the Company shall not consolidate with or merge with any other
corporation or convey, transfer or lease substantially all of its assets in a
single transaction or series of transactions to any person unless (i) the
successor formed by such consolidation or the survivor of such merger or the
person that acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease substantially all of the
assets of the Company as an entirety, as the case may be, shall be a solvent
corporation organized and existing under the laws of the U.S. or any state
thereof (including the District of Columbia), and, if the Company is not such a
corporation, such corporation shall have executed and delivered to the Purchaser
its assumption of the due and punctual performance and observance of each
covenant and condition of this Agreement, the Notes and the Warrants; and (ii)
immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of
Default (as hereinafter defined) or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing. No such conveyance, transfer or lease of substantially all of the
assets of the Company shall have the effect of releasing the Company or any
successor corporation that shall theretofore have become such in the manner
prescribed in this Section 8(l) from its liability under this Agreement, the
Notes or the Warrants.
(m) Additional Right to Purchase 650,000 Shares of Common Stock.
-----------------------------------------------------------
(i) Pursuant to the terms set forth in that certain Stock Option
Agreement, dated as of January 26, 2000, as amended through the date hereof,
between the Company and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx ("Xxxxxxx") (the "Option Agreement"),
------- ----------------
the Company has the right to purchase from Xxxxxxx up to 2,325,000 shares (the
"Xxxxxxx Shares") of Common Stock at an exercise price of (i) $1.675 per share
--------------
if all or any portion of such shares are purchased by the Company on or before
September 1, 2000 or (ii) $1.85 per share if all or any portion of such shares
are purchased by the Company after September 1, 2000 and prior to October 31,
2000. The Company agrees that, any time prior to October 14, 2000, the
Purchaser may deliver one or more notices (each, an "Option Notice") to the
-------------
Company directing the Company, whereupon the Company shall be obligated, to
exercise its right to purchase up to an aggregate of 650,000 of the Xxxxxxx
Shares under the Option Agreement in accordance with Section 8(m)(iii) below.
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, promptly following the Initial
Closing, the Company agrees to negotiate in good faith with Xxxxxxx and to use
its best efforts in such negotiation to amend the Option Agreement (the "Amended
-------
Option Agreement") so that (i) the Company shall have the right to purchase from
----------------
Xxxxxxx the Xxxxxxx Shares on or before October 31, 2001, or (ii) the Purchaser
shall have the right to purchase directly from Xxxxxxx up to 650,000 of the
Xxxxxxx Shares (or such lesser number of shares in the event the Purchaser has
directed the Company to purchase a portion of the Xxxxxxx Shares in accordance
with Section 8(m)(i) above) on or before October 31, 2001. The Company agrees
that, from and after the date the Company and Xxxxxxx amend the Option
Agreement, the Purchaser shall have the right, at any time prior to October 14,
2001 or such date that is 15 days prior to the expiration date of the Amended
Option Agreement, to deliver an Option Notice to the Company directing the
Company, whereupon the Company shall be obligated, to exercise its right to
purchase up to
-13-
650,000 of the Xxxxxxx Shares under the Amended Option Agreement in accordance
with Section 8(m)(iii) below.
(iii) Each Option Notice will set forth the number of such
Xxxxxxx Shares (the "Purchase Shares") the Company shall be obligated to
---------------
purchase in accordance with the terms of the Option Agreement or the Amended
Option Agreement, as the case may be. Within two business days of delivery of an
Option Notice, the Company hereby agrees to purchase, in accordance with the
terms of the Option Agreement or the Amended Option Agreement, as the case may
be, the Purchase Shares. In connection therewith, if the Company so requests,
the Purchaser agrees to lend to the Company an amount equal to the purchase
price for the Purchase Shares (an "Option Loan"), which amount shall be used by
-----------
the Company for the sole purpose of purchasing the Purchase Shares from Xxxxxxx.
The parties acknowledge that the Purchaser will not make an Option Loan to the
Company if the Amended Option Agreement provides that the Purchaser may purchase
directly from Xxxxxxx up to 650,000 of the Xxxxxxx Shares.
(iv) An Option Loan and the Company's obligation to repay an
Option Loan shall be evidenced by a secured promissory note (each, an "Option
------
Note"), which Option Note shall be substantially identical in form and substance
----
to the Note, except that (x) the Option Note shall not bear interest and (y) the
outstanding principal under the Option Note shall be payable on demand;
provided, however, that unless and until there occurs an Event of Default
hereunder, the Purchaser shall not have the right to demand payment under an
Option Note prior to the one-year anniversary of the date of issuance of such
Option Note. The parties hereto agree that the security interest granted to the
Purchaser under an Option Note shall be pari passu with other security interests
granted to the Purchaser by the Company.
(v) In further consideration of the Loan and regardless of
whether the Purchaser makes an Option Loan to the Company, as long as the
Purchaser has delivered to the Company an Option Notice in accordance with this
Section 8(m), the Company agrees (within ten business days following its receipt
of the Option Notice) to issue to the Purchaser a warrant to purchase such
number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Purchase Shares set
forth in the Option Notice. Subject to this subsection (v), such warrant shall
be substantially identical in form and substance to the Warrant (the "Option
------
Warrant"), except that Section 6(c) of the Option Warrant shall provide standard
-------
weighted average anti-dilution protection for the exercise price and number of
shares of Common Stock underlying the Option Warrant only and not for "full
ratchet" anti-dilution protection for the exercise price and the number of
shares of Common Stock underlying the Option Warrant. If the Option Warrant is
issued in connection with the Purchaser delivering an Option Notice pursuant to
Section 8(m)(i), the Option Warrant shall be exercisable (A) at any time or from
time to time after the date of the Option Warrant and up to and including 5:00
p.m. (New York City time) on the date that is two years following the date of
issuance of the Option Warrant (the "First Option Warrant Expiration Date") and
------------------------------------
(B) as follows: for a purchase price of (i) $1.85 per share for any shares
purchased pursuant to the exercise thereof between the date of issuance of the
Option Warrant and February 1, 2001, (ii) $2.25 per share for any shares
purchased pursuant to the exercise thereof between February 2, 2001 and May 1,
2001, (iii) $2.50 per share for any shares purchased pursuant to the exercise
thereof between May 2, 2001 and August 1, 2001, or (iv) $2.75 per share for any
shares purchased pursuant to the exercise thereof between August 2, 2001 and the
First Option Warrant
-14-
Expiration Date. If the Option Warrant is issued in connection with the
Purchaser delivering an Option Notice pursuant to Section 8(m)(ii), the Option
Warrant shall be exercisable (A) within 30 business days following the issuance
of the Option Warrant (the "Second Option Warrant Expiration Date") and (B) for
-------------------------------------
a purchase price not greater than the following: (i) $1.85 per share purchased
pursuant to the exercise thereof between the date of issuance of such Option
Warrant and February 1, 2002, (ii) $2.25 per share purchased pursuant to the
exercise thereof between February 2, 2002 and May 1, 2002, (iii) $2.50 per share
purchased pursuant to the exercise thereof between May 2, 2002 and August 1,
2002, or (iv) $2.75 per share purchased pursuant to the exercise thereof between
August 2, 2002 and the Second Option Warrant Expiration Date. The Purchaser
shall be granted registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock
underlying the Option Warrant, in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit F
---------
hereto.
(n) Additional Right to Purchase up to 300,000 Shares of Common Stock.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to the terms set forth in (i) that certain Option to Purchase Agreement
between the Company and VideoGame Partners, LLC ("VP LLC"), made as of June 30,
------
2000, as amended through the date hereof, and (ii) that certain Option to
Purchase Agreement between the Company and VP LLC, made as of July 26, 2000, as
amended through the date hereof (collectively, the "VP Agreements"), VP LLC has
-------------
the right to purchase from the Company 750,000 shares of Common Stock (the "VP
--
Shares") at an exercise price of $1.675 per share. In connection therewith, the
------
Company and the Purchaser agree that, one business day after VP LLC's right to
purchase the VP Shares expires pursuant to the VP Agreements, the Company shall
deliver written notice to the Purchaser (the "VP Notice") to such effect, which
---------
notice shall also set forth the number of VP Shares not purchased by VP LLC (the
"VP Option Shares") under the VP Agreements. So long as VP LLC has not
----------------
purchased all of the VP Shares, the Purchaser may, within 15 business days of
receiving the VP Notice deliver a notice to the Company that it wishes to
purchase from the Company, and the Company shall be obligated to issue within
five business days therefrom, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the VP
Option Shares (the "Purchaser Option Shares"); provided, however, that such
-----------------------
number shall not be greater than 300,000. The exercise price for the Purchaser
Option Shares shall be $1.675 per share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
parties agree that if the Company delivers the VP Notice to the Purchaser at any
time prior to October 31, 2000, the Purchaser shall have the right to exercise
its option granted hereunder by (i) such date that is 15 business days after
receipt by the Purchaser of the VP Notice or (ii) October 31, 2000, whichever is
later. The parties further agree that the Purchaser's right to purchase the
Purchaser Option Shares is in addition to the right described in Section 8(m)
above. The Purchaser shall be granted registration rights with respect to the
Purchaser Option Shares issued hereunder, in the form set forth in Exhibit F
---------
hereto.

-----------------
following conditions or events shall occur and be continuing:
(a) Failure to Pay. The Company's failure to pay any of the Principal
--------------
Amount (as defined in each Note) due under the Notes on the date the same
becomes due and payable, or any accrued interest or other amounts due under the
Notes after the same becomes due and payable; or
(b) Representations and Warranties. Any representation and warranty
------------------------------
made in writing by or on behalf of the Company or by any officer of the Company
in this
-15-
Agreement or in any writing furnished in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby proves to have been false or incorrect in any material
respect on the date as of which made; or
(c) Default in Performance. The Company defaults in the performance
----------------------
of or compliance with any term contained herein and such default is not remedied
within 30 days after the earlier of (i) an officer of the Company obtaining
actual knowledge of such default, and (ii) the Company receiving written notice
of such default from the Purchaser (any such written notice to be identified as
a "notice of default"); or
(d) Other Defaults. The Company or any Subsidiary is in default (as
--------------
principal or as guarantor or other surety) in the payment of any principal of or
premium or make-whole amount or interest on any Indebtedness that is outstanding
in any aggregate principal amount of at least $100,000 beyond any period of
grace provided with respect thereto, or (ii) the Company or any Subsidiary is in
default in the performance of or compliance with any term of any evidence of any
Indebtedness in an aggregate outstanding principal amount of at least $100,000
or of any mortgage, indenture or other agreement relating thereto or any other
condition exists, and as a consequence of such default or condition such
Indebtedness has become, or has been declared due and payable before its stated
maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment; or
(e) Inability to Pay Debts. The Company or any Subsidiary (i) is
----------------------
generally not paying, or admits in writing its inability to pay, its debts as
they become due, (ii) files, or consents by answer or otherwise to the filing

foregoing; or
(f) Defaults under Security Agreement. Any Event of Default under the

10. Remedies on Default, Etc.
-------------------------
(a) Acceleration.
------------
(i) If an Event of Default with respect to the Company described
in Section 9(e) has occurred, the Notes shall automatically become due and
payable.
(ii) If any other Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Purchaser may at any time at its option, by notice to the
Company, declare the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.
(iii) If any Event of Default described in Section 9(a) has
occurred and is continuing, the Purchaser may at any time, at its option, by
notice to the Company, declare the Notes immediately due and payable.
-16-
Upon the Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 10(a), whether
automatically or by declaration, the Notes will forthwith mature and the entire
unpaid principal amount of the Notes plus all accrued and unpaid interest
thereon shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without
presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived.
Effective upon an Event of Default that is not cured, the interest rate on the
Notes shall increase by the lesser of the rate per annum equal to the rate
reported in the Wall Street Journal as the prime rate for major banks plus 4% or
the maximum penalty as shall be permitted by applicable law (the "Default
-------
Rate"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser may, at its option, in the
case of Section 9(a) and for so long as an Event of Default is continuing accept
the delivery by the Company of additional subscriber names at no charge to the
Purchaser whatsoever toward repayment of the outstanding principal amount under
the Notes and accrued interest thereon. In such event, the Purchaser shall
apply $0.35 for each subscriber name delivered to the Purchaser for no charge
toward the outstanding principal amount under the Notes and accrued interest
thereon. During an Event of Default, such deductions and corresponding
reductions to collection expenses, the outstanding principal amount under the
Notes and accrued interest thereon in the manner described in Section 4 of each
Note shall be computed at the end of each [calendar month]. Such payments may be
endorsed by the Purchaser on the Grid attached to the applicable Note. The
Purchaser, in its sole discretion, may determine to discontinue the foregoing
arrangement on the date that is five days after delivery to the Company of a
written notice to that effect. Notwithstanding such reductions described above,
interest shall continue to accrue at the Default Rate on the principal amount
outstanding during an Event of Default.
(b) Other Remedies. If any Default or Event of Default has occurred
--------------
and is continuing, and irrespective of whether the Notes have become or have
been declared immediately due and payable under Section 10(a), the Purchaser may
proceed to protect and enforce its rights by an action at law, suit in equity or
other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any
agreement contained herein, in the Notes or in the Warrants, or for an
injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid
of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise.
(c) No Waiver or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc. No course of
------------------------------------------------
dealing and no delay on the part of the Purchaser in exercising any right, power
or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice the
Purchaser's rights, powers and remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by
this Agreement, the Notes or the Security Agreement upon the Purchaser shall be
exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or
now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without
limiting the obligations of the Company under Section 11(a), the Company will
pay to the Purchaser on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to
cover all costs and expenses of the Purchaser incurred in any enforcement or
collection under this Section, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees, expenses and disbursements.
11. Miscellaneous.

therein and the payment of the Notes, and may be relied upon by any subsequent
holder of any Note and any Warrant, regardless of any investigation made at any
time by or on behalf of the Purchaser or any such holder. All statements

the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed representations and
warranties of the Company under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding
sentence, this Agreement, the Notes and the Warrants embody the entire agreement
and understanding between the Purchaser and the Company and supersede all prior
agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.
