THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT entered into as of October 13, 2003, by
and between TOTAL IDENTITY CORP., a Florida corporation (the "Buyer") and XXXXXX
XXXXX, an individual resident of the State of New York (the "Seller").
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Buyer and Total Identity Systems, Inc., a New York
corporation ("Total New York") have entered into an agreement of even date
herewith pursuant to which the Buyer proposes to acquire 60% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Total New York (the "Corporate Stock Purchase Agreement");
and
WHEREAS, the Seller owns 40% of the issued and outstanding shares of
capital stock of Total New York (the "Minority Interest"); and
WHEREAS, the Minority Interest is evidenced by 80 shares of the common
stock of Total New York (the "Shares") registered in the name of the Seller; and
WHEREAS, the Buyer desire to purchase the Shares from the Seller, and
the Seller desires to sell the Shares to the Buyer, upon the terms and
conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the parties, the parties hereto,
intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES. The Seller hereby sells, assigns,
transfers and conveys the Shares to the Buyer, and the Buyer hereby purchases
the Shares from the Seller, free and clear of all liens, charges, encumbrances
and security interests ("Liens"), upon the terms and conditions set forth
herein.
2. PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price for the Shares (the "Purchase
Price") shall be the sum of eight hundred thousand dollars ($800,000.00). The
Purchase Price shall be paid by the Buyer's delivery of its promissory note to
the Seller in the principal amount of $800,000 (the "Note"). The Note, which
shall be in the form of Exhibit A hereto, shall be paid in ten equal quarterly
installments of principal, with interest on the outstanding amount of the Note
at the rate of 8% per annum. The initial installment of the Purchase Price shall
be due and payable six months following the date of the closing of the Corporate
Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Corporate Closing"). There shall be offset
against the Note, (a) an amount equal to the excess, if any, over $75,000 that
Total New York becomes obligated to pay, whether by judgment or settlement, in
that certain lawsuit pending against Total New York, under the caption "CJP
Enterprises vs. Total Identity Systems Corp." and (b) an amount equal to the
excess, if any, over $10,000 that Total New York becomes obligated to pay,
whether by judgment or settlement, in that certain lawsuit pending against Total
New York under the caption "Grand Image Inc.".
3. SECURITY. In order to secure payment of the Note, the Shares, as
well as the shares of common stock of Total New York being acquired by the Buyer
pursuant to the Corporate Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Corporate Shares") and,
together with the Shares, the "Pledged Shares") shall be pledged to the Buyer
pursuant to the terms of a pledge agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit
A hereto (the "Pledge Agreement"). At such time as the purchase price for the
Corporate Shares under the Corporate Stock Purchase Agreement has been paid in
full, 49% of the Pledged Shares (currently 98 shares) shall be delivered to the
Buyer and shall be released from the provisions of the Pledge Agreement. The
remainder of the Pledged Shares shall continue to be pledged as security under
the Pledge Agreement until the Note has been paid in full; provided, however,
that (a) in the event that the Buyer defaults in the payment of the purchase
price for the Corporate Shares, at the Seller's election, either (a) the Seller
may retain all of the Pledged Shares then subject to the Pledge Agreement upon
payment to Buyer of all amounts theretofore paid against the purchase price for
the Corporate Shares or (b) the Seller shall release to the Buyer a percentage
of the Pledged Shares equal to the percentage of the purchase price for the
Corporate Shares theretofore paid by the Buyer. In the event the Buyer defaults
in the payment of the Note due to circumstances beyond its control (which
circumstances shall be limited to wars, strikes, acts of god, terrorism and
other customary force majeure events), at the Seller's election, either (y) the
Seller may retain all of the Pledged Shares upon payment to the Buyer of all
amounts theretofore paid under the Note or (z) the Seller shall release to the
Buyer a percentage of the Pledged Shares equal to the percentage of the Note
theretofore paid by the Buyer. Unless and until the Buyer shall default under
the Note, the Buyer shall be entitled to exercise all voting rights over the
Pledged Shares.
4. CLOSING. A closing of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement (the "Closing") shall take place immediately following the Corporate
Closing. At the Closing (a) the Seller shall deliver one or more certificates
evidencing the Shares, accompanied by Stock Powers duly endorsed for transfer in

liabilities, obligations, costs or expenses, including reasonable attorneys
fees, incurred by the Buyer and arising out of (i) the breach of any
representation or warranty of the Seller hereunder, (ii) or the Seller's failure
to perform any covenant or obligation required to be performed by it hereunder.
(b) INDEMNIFICATION BY THE BUYER. The Buyer hereby indemnifies
and holds the Seller harmless from and against any and all damages, losses,
liabilities, obligations, costs or expenses incurred by the Seller and arising
out of (i) the breach of any representation or warranty of the Buyer hereunder,
5
or (ii) the Buyer's failure to perform any covenant or obligation required to be
performed by it hereunder.
(c) PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION. Any party entitled to
indemnification under this Section 10 (an "Indemnified Party") will give written
notice to the indemnifying party of any matters giving rise to a claim for
indemnification; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to
indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve
the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section 10 except to the
extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to
give notice. In case any action, proceeding or claim is brought against an
Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the
indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the
reasonable judgment of counsel to the Indemnified Party a conflict of interest
between it and the indemnifying party may exist with respect of such action,
proceeding or claim, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. In the event that the indemnifying party
advises an Indemnified Party that it will contest such a claim for
indemnification hereunder, or fails, within 30 days of receipt of any
indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to
defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action,
proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences
such defense), then the Indemnified Party may, at its option, defend, settle or
otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until
the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the
defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the Indemnified Party's costs
and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such
action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification
hereunder. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying
party in connection with any settlement negotiations or defense of any such
action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying
party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party, which
relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the
Indemnified Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or
any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the indemnifying party
elects to defend any such action or claim, then the Indemnified Party shall be
entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole
cost and expense. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement
of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10 to the contrary, the indemnifying
party shall not, without the Indemnified Party's prior written consent, settle
or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof
which imposes any future obligation on the Indemnified Party or which does not
include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the
plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of
such claim. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to
(i) any cause of action or similar rights of the Indemnified Party against the
indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party
may be subject to.
(d) LIMITATIONS. The obligations of the parties to provide
indemnification under this Agreement shall be subject to the following
limitations:
(i) No claim for indemnification shall be asserted by
a party until such time, if any, as the aggregate amount for
which indemnification is being sought exceeds $10,000; and
6
(ii) No claim for indemnification may be sought by a
party after 18 months from the Closing Date.
