Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 (“Buyer”), and Xxxxxx Capital Partners II, LLC, a Florida
limited liability company, with offices at 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx,

Background
Pursuant
to a certain December 2, 2002 Request for Proposal, including a Letter of
Acceptance dated April 15, 2003, by and between the Port Authority of New York
and New Jersey (the “Port Authority”) and Black Experience, Inc., as amended by
a First Addendum dated March 2, 2004, and subsequently assigned to Seller (the
“PATH Contract”), Seller owns the exclusive right to provide advertising
services on the Port Authority’s PATHVISION Broadcasting System (the
“Business”). Seller conducts the Business under the name “InTransit Media” and
owns and uses in the Business the other assets listed on Schedule
A-1
annexed
hereto (collectively, with the PATH Contract, the “Assets”). Buyer and Seller
were previously parties to an Agreement, dated June 8, 2005, relating to the
sale of the Assets (the “Original Agreement”), which the parties acknowledge to
be null and void and of no force and effect. Seller desires to sell the Assets
to Buyer and Buyer desires to purchase the Assets from Seller on the terms
and
conditions set forth below.
Therefore,
for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Purchase
and Sale.
(a) In
consideration of Buyer’s payment of two million dollars ($2,000,000) (the
“Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment in accordance with paragraph 1(b)
below, on the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), Seller shall sell, assign,
transfer and deliver the Assets to Buyer. Anything in the foregoing to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Assets do not include those assets of Seller
listed on Schedule A-2 hereto (the “Excluded Assets”). The Purchase Price shall
be paid by Buyer to Seller as follows: (A) one million four hundred thousand
dollars ($1,400,000) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an
account designated by Seller prior to the Closing Date at least two (2) days
prior to the Closing Date; (B) not later than five (5) business days after
the
Closing Date, Buyer shall issue to Seller a number of duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable, unregistered shares (the “Buyer Shares”)
of Buyer’s common stock, $.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”),
determined by dividing the Non-Cash Amount (as hereinafter defined) by the
average closing price of the Common Stock during the twenty (20) consecutive
trading day period ending two trading days prior to the Closing Date; and (C)
less a credit in the amount of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000)
previously paid by Buyer to Seller upon the execution of that certain option
agreement dated as of October 28, 2005 made by and between Buyer and Seller
(the
“Option Agreement”). For the purposes hereof, the “Non-Cash Amount” shall mean
five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000), as adjusted in accordance with
paragraph 1(b) below. Buyer has the option to increase the cash component of
the
Purchase Price, which will reduce the stock component in like value.
5
(b) Working
Capital Adjustment. On the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer an
unaudited, unreviewed balance sheet of Seller dated as at a date within five
(5)
days prior to the Closing Date, which balance sheet shall be prepared in
accordance with good accounting practices and certified as true and correct
in
all material respects by the chief executive officer of the Seller (the “Closing
Balance Sheet”). If the Modified Working Capital as determined using the Closing
Balance Sheet is less than zero, the Non-Cash Amount shall be reduced by the
amount of any such deficit. Upon Buyer’s request, Seller shall provide Buyer
with copies of all workpapers and other books and records utilized by Seller
in
preparing the Closing Balance Sheet. For the purposes hereof, “Modified Working
Capital” means the sum of (i) cash and cash equivalents and (ii) the amount of
accounts receivable included in the Assets less appropriate reserves for
doubtful accounts, minus the Assumed Payables (as hereinafter defined).
(c) In
connection with the sale of the Assets to Buyer, Seller shall execute and
deliver to Buyer on the Closing Date the xxxx of sale and the assignments of
contracts and domain name(s) attached hereto as Exhibits 1, 2 and 3,
respectively.
2. Liabilities.
Buyer
shall assume only those obligations and liabilities set forth on Schedule B
hereto (the “Assumed Liabilities”). Except for the Assumed Liabilities, Buyer is
not assuming any existing, contingent or future liability of Seller (the

include:

(ii) any
obligations of Seller in respect of the assets of Seller not included in the
Assets acquired hereunder;

termination by Seller or arising out of any labor matter involving Seller as
an
employer, and any claims, liabilities and obligations arising from or relating
to any employee benefit plans;
6
(vii) all

limitation, any claims against or any liabilities for injury to, or death of,
