EXHIBIT 10.31(a)
AMENDMENT TO STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDMENT TO THE STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT dated as of May 12, 2005
(this "AMENDMENT"), is entered into by and between KARAMCO, INC. ("KARAMCO"),
EFONICA, FZ-LLC ("EFONICA OR COMPANY") AND FUSION TELECOMMUNICATIONS
INTERNATIONAL, INC. ("FUSION").
R E C I T A L S:
A. Fusion, Efonica and Karamco have entered into that certain Stock
Purchase Agreement dated January 11, 2005, as amended on February 9, 2005, (the
"AGREEMENT"), pursuant to which Fusion purchased all of Karamco's shares of
Efonica, FZ-LLC (the "Company").
B. At the present time, Fusion, Efonica and Karamco request, and all are
agreeable to amend the Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, Fusion, Efonica and Karamco hereby agree as follows:
A G R E E M E N T S:
1. RECITALS. The foregoing Recitals are hereby made a part of this
Amendment.
2. DEFINITIONS. Capitalized words and phrases used herein without
definition shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such words
and phrases in the Agreement.
(a) AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT. Section 1.2(C)(iv) of the Agreement is hereby
amended in its entirety to read as follows:
"(iv) (a) Registration. Buyer shall use its reasonable efforts to
cause 150,000 shares of the Base Shares to be registered (the "Registered
Shares") within 60 days of the Buyer's initial public offering, unless said
date is extended with Karamco's consent. The date the Registered Shares are
effectively registered shall be defined as the "Registration Date."
Following registration, Karamco may sell up to an aggregate of $1 million
in Registered Shares in transactions (including block transactions) that
may take place in the over-the-counter market or an exchange including
ordinary broker transactions, privately negotiated transaction or through
sales to one or more dealers for resale as principals (1/2 of the
Registered Shares on the Registration Date and the remaining 1/2 on May 15,
2005). In the event Buyer is unable to cause the Registered Shares to be
registered as set forth above, Buyer shall purchase the Registered Shares
from Karamco (in the amount Karamco would have been otherwise able to sell
as set forth above) at the higher of the IPO price or the average 5 day bid
price prior to the date Buyer notifies Karamco that it is unable to cause
the registered Shares to be registered. In the event that Karamco's
aggregate gross proceeds of a sale of the Registered Shares as set forth in
this Section 1.2C(iv)(a), in the aggregate, and within 65 days following
the effective date of the Registration Statement, does not equal $967,500
(150,000 x the IPO price of $6.45), the Buyer shall pay Karamco the
difference between the aggregate gross proceeds of Karamco's sale of the
Registered Shares and $967,5000 (the "Difference Payment"). On April 25,
2005, Fusion made a payment of $150,000 to Karamco and on the date hereof,
will make an additional payment of $175,000 which payments ($325,000 in the
aggregate) shall be deducted from the Difference Payment owed. In the event
that the Difference Payment owed, pursuant to this Section 1.2(C)(iv)(a) of
the Agreement, is less than $325,000, Karamco shall immediately reimburse
Fusion for such excess. The Company retains the right to advance additional
funds in its sole discretion.
(b) Karamco's Obligation to reimburse Fusion for any excess shall be
secured by 50,387 shares (the "Escrowed Shares") of Fusion's common stock owned
by Karamco. Upon execution of this Agreement, Karamco will deliver the Escrowed
Shares to the Escrow Agent until such excess is repaid or it is determined that
no repayment is due based on the formula in section 1.2(C)(iv) (a) of the
Agreement."
3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. To induce Karamco to enter into this
Amendment, Fusion hereby certifies, represents and warrants to Karamco that:
