MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
This Memorandum of Understanding is between Next Generation
Network, Inc. (the "Company") and Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, or his nominee entity,
("Investor Group") for purposes of setting forth the intentions of the parties
regarding joint activities in the interest of developing certain international
markets for the Company's electronic out-of-home media network known as "NGN."
1. NGN and the Investor Group agree to form an entity to be owned 50%
by the Company and 50% by the Investor Group for purposes of developing the
market for NGN in France, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom.
2. Each party agrees to contribute to such entity the amount of One
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) for purposes of financing such development
activities.
3. The day to day activities of the development entity will be managed
by Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, provided that all material matters regarding the activities
of such development entity shall require the consent of both parties.
4. It is the parties' intent that, upon mutual determination that the
results of development activities warrant the formation of an operating entity,
the parties will form an entity for the purpose of operating NGN in the stated
countries on such terms as the parties mutually determine and agree. The parties
acknowledge that nothing in this Memorandum creates any obligation on the part
of either party to form any such operating entity, or to any terms or conditions
relating thereto. The Investor Group acknowledges that it has been advised that
formation of such entity requires and is conditioned upon receipt by the Company
of all approvals and consents as may be required under any organizational
documents or other agreements whatsoever applicable to the Company and an
investment by the Company in an entity operating NGN Internationally, including
without limitation such approvals as may be required under that certain
Indenture dated as of February 1, 1998 (the "Indenture"), certain documents
related to the Indenture, and those certain certificates of designation and
agreements relating to the Series B Senior Cumulative Compounding Convertible
Redeemable Preferred Stock and Series C Senior Cumulative Compounding
Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock. If the Company is unable, after
commercially reasonable efforts, to structure an entity to operate NGN, or to
operate NGN, in the subject countries with the involvement of the Investor
Group, the Company will have the right to purchase, and the Investor Group will
then be obligated to sell the interest of the Investor Group in the development
entity for One Hundred Thousand Dollars (100,000.00), plus interest at a per
annum rate of 15%, accruing from the date of the contribution by the Investor
Group, payable in cash.
