Re: Asset Purchase Agreement
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to (a) that certain Asset Purchase Agreement (the
"Purchase Agreement") dated as of October 3, 1996 between Sequoia Systems, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation now known as Texas Micro Inc. ("Texas Micro"), and
General Automation, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("GA"), and (b) that certain
Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registration Rights AGREEMENT") dated as of
October 11, 1997 between Texas Micro and GA. Capitalized terms used but not
defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase
Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything contained in the Purchase Agreement or the
Registration Rights Agreement to the contrary, Texas Micro and GA hereby agree
as follows:
1. Payment of Purchase Price. Texas Micro and GA hereby agree that the
total Purchase Price, after any adjustment thereto to be made pursuant to
Section 8.6(d) of the Purchase Agreement, is $ 11,346,611, of which $2,717,712
has heretofore been paid by GA to Texas Micro leaving a balance due of
$8,628,899 (the "Remaining Balance"). The Remaining Balance, including, but not
limited to, all Deferred Payments which are due or are to become due and the
payment required to be made by GA on October 11, 1997 pursuant to Section 3.2(f)
of the Purchase Agreement, shall be paid in cash, with $7,200,000 of the
Remaining Balance to be paid pursuant to, and on the terms and conditions
provided in, this letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement Amount") and $
1,428,899 of the Remaining Balance to be paid pursuant to, and on the terms and
conditions provided in, the Promissory Note attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
"Promissory Note"), which is incorporated herein by reference as if set forth
herein in full. Texas Micro and GA acknowledge and
2

Page 2
agree, (i) that GA has heretofore delivered 350,000 shares of Stock to Texas
Micro for which no value has been assigned for purposes of the payment of the
Purchase Price, (ii) that such shares of Stock shall be valued at the times and
in the manner provided in Section 3.2(c) of the Purchase Agreement and (iii)
that, in determining whether the Letter Agreement Amount has been paid in full,
the Letter Agreement Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the value of
such shares of Stock (as so determined and at such times), it being understood
and agreed that the valuation of such shares of Stock shall not affect the
obligation of GA to make the payments in cash required under Section 2 hereof at
the times and in the amounts required thereunder unless the aggregate cash
payments received by Texas Micro from GA in payment of the Letter Agreement
Amount plus the valuation of such shares equals or exceeds the Letter Agreement
Amount.
2. Mandatory Payments. (a) The following amounts shall be due and
payable by GA to Texas Micro towards the Remaining Balance on the following
respective dates:
(i) an amount equal to $300,000 shall be due and payable on the date
hereof;
(ii) an amount equal to $400,000 shall be due and payable on December
15, 1997; and
(iii) an amount equal to the Percentage Amount (as hereinafter defined)
shall be due and payable on the 1 5th day of each month commencing with
December 15, 1997 and continuing thereafter until the Purchase Price shall
have been paid in full (each such payment, a "Percentage Payment").
Each Percentage Payment shall be accompanied by a worksheet certified by GA's
chief financial of officer which sets forth the calculation of such Percentage
Payment and the cumulative amount paid with respect to all Percentage Payments.
Not more than once every six months, Texas Micro may, following written request
and reasonable notice, inspect the records of GA to verify the calculations of
the Percentage Payments.
(b) For purposes of this letter agreement, "Percentage Amount" means,
with respect to any Percentage Payment, the sum of:
(i) an amount equal to 18% of all gross revenues received by GA from
sales of any products in or manufactured from Inventory and/or any license
fees paid by Texas Micro in connection with the Business prior to the
Closing Date;
(ii) an amount equal to five percent of all gross revenues received by
GA from sales of any products by the Business excluding the sales described
in clause (i) above, and

(iii) during the period commencing on October 1, 1997 and continuing
thereafter until and including April 15, 1998, an amount equal to five
percent of all gross revenues received by GA with respect to all of GA's
service and support operations, and at any time thereafter, subject to
Section 2(c), an amount equal to ten percent of all gross revenues received
by GA with respect to all of GA's service and support operations,
in each case, based on the sales of products or the rendition of services and
support operations by GA, as applicable, during the second full calendar month
ending prior to the date on which such Percentage Payment is due and payable
(i.e., the calculation of the Percentage Amount related to the Percentage
Payment due on December 15, 1997 is to be based on the calendar month ending on
October 31, 1997, the calculation of the Percentage Amount related to the
Percentage Payment due on January 31, 1998 is to be based on the calendar month
ending on November 30, 1997, etc.).
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2(b),
on and after May 15, 1998, GA shall have the right to transfer any portion of
any Percentage Payment which is based upon the gross revenues received by GA
with respect to GA's service and support operations and which is in excess of
five percent of such gross revenues to the outstanding principal balance of the
Promissory Note, provided that (i) immediately prior to such transfer, the Note
has not been paid in full, (ii) GA shall have provided Texas Micro with written
notice of such election prior to the date on which the applicable PERCENTAGE
PAYMENT IS DUE AND PAYABLE, AND (III) AT THE time of such transfer, the amount
transferred to the outstanding principal balance of the Promissory Note is not
past due.
(d) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this letter agreement,
(i) all payments hereunder shall be made to Texas Micro on the date when due and
shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America, and (ii) whenever
any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a
business day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding
business day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest (if any) shall
be payable thereon during such extension at the rate of interest that otherwise
applied to such payment.
(e) In the event that GA fails to pay any amount when due hereunder,
such amount, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall bear interest at a
rate per annum equal to the lesser of the Highest Lawful Rate (as defined in the
Promissory Note) and 16%, and such amount (together with such interest) shall be
due and payable by GA on demand.
3. Registration Statement. GA shall not be required to perform any of
its obligations under Section 2.01 or Section 2.02 of the Registration Rights
Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, GA shall not be
required to cause the registration statement previously

remain effective.
4. Prepayments. GA may prepay the Letter Agreement Amount in whole at
any time or from time to time in part without premium or penalty.
5. Release of Claims. (a) Texas Micro hereby releases and discharges GA
and its officers, directors, employees and agents, whether past, present or
future (collectively, the "GA. Released Parties"), from any and all claims,
demands, costs, liabilities, damages, expenses, compensation and actions and
causes of action of every nature, whether in law or in equity (collectively,
"Claims"), which Texas Micro had or now has or makes claim to have against any
of the GA Released Parties, or any of them, to the extent, but only to the
extent, that such Claims directly or indirectly relate to (i) the failure of GA
to make any Deferred Payment in a timely manner or (ii) the failure of GA to
file a registration statement pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement in a
timely manner or have such registration statement declared effective.
(b) Texas Micro hereby represents and warrants to GA that there has
been no assignment of any Claims which are the subject to the release set forth
in Section 5(a) above.
6. Representations and Warranties. GA hereby represents and warrants to
Texas Micro that this letter agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered on behalf of GA and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation
of GA, enforceable against GA in accordance with its terms, except as the
enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of
general application relating to the enforcement of creditors' rights. Texas
Micro hereby represents and warrants to GA that this letter agreement has been
duly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of Texas Micro and constitutes

to the enforcement of creditors' rights

Texas Micro and (b) GA shall have duly executed and delivered to Texas Micro the

PROMISSORY NOTE
$1,428,899 October 1, 1997
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, on the dates and in the amounts herein stipulated,
GENERAL AUTOMATION, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Maker"), hereby promises to
pay to the order of TEXAS MICRO INC., a Delaware corporation ("Payee"), the
principal sum of $ 1,428,899, or so much thereof as may be outstanding
hereunder, together with interest on the principal amount hereof remaining
unpaid from time to time, as herein specified. Capitalized terms used but not
defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in that certain
Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of October 3, 1996 between Maker and Payee.
The outstanding principal hereof, and accrued and unpaid interest
thereon, shall be due AND PAYABLE in installments as follows:
(a) installments, each in an amount equal to $75,000 plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable, the first such
installment to be due and payable on November 15, 1997, and successive
installments to be due and payable on the 15th of each month thereafter
until the outstanding principal balance of this Note is less than $75,000;
and
(b) a final installment, in an amount equal to the outstanding
principal balance hereof plus any and all accrued and unpaid interest
thereon, shall be due and payable on the 15th day of the first month
following the date of the last payment due under clause (a) above.
The outstanding principal balance hereof shall bear interest prior to
maturity at a varying rate per annum which shall from day to day be equal to the
lesser of the Highest Lawful Rate (as hereinafter defined) and 13%, each such
change in the rate of interest charged on the indebtedness hereunder to become
effective on the effective date of each change in the Highest Lawful Rate.
Maker and Payee, by its acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree
that, in addition to the indebtedness of Maker to Payee evidenced by this Note
and the Letter Agreement (as hereinafter defined), certain inter-company
accounts are in existence as of the date of this Note between Maker and Payee.
If, upon final reconciliation of such inter-company accounts, it is determined
that Payee is indebted to Maker for any amount, Payee shall retain such amount
and the amount so retained shall be deemed to be a prepayment of installments
due under this Note in reverse order of maturity, provided, however, that if the
amount so retained is in excess of the outstanding principal balance under this
Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, the excess shall be promptly
paid by Payee to Maker. In addition, if Payee shall hereafter receive any funds
from former customers of Sequoia Systems, Inc. related to the business sold by
Payee to Maker on
Page 1 of Six
8
October 11, 1996 which belong to Maker, Payee shall retain such funds and the
amount so retained shall be deemed to be a prepayment of installments due under
this Note in the order of maturity; provided, however, that if the amount so
retained is in excess of the outstanding principal balance under this Note plus
all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, the excess shall be promptly paid by
Payee to Maker. Payee shall promptly notify Maker in writing of its receipt and
application of any such funds, which notice shall specify the amount received,
the date of receipt of the same by Payee and the party from whom such funds were
received.
For purposes of this Note:
(a) "Business Day" means any day, excluding Saturday, Sunday and any
other day on which banks are required or authorized to close in Houston,
Texas; and
(b) "Highest Lawful Rate" means the maximum nonusurious interest rate,
if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, taken,
reserved, charged or received by Payee with respect to the indebtedness of
Maker to Payee evidenced by this Note under laws applicable to Payee.
Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Note, (a) all
payments under this Note shall be made to Payee on the date when due and shall
be made in lawful money of the United States of America, and (b) whenever any
payment to be made under this Note shall be stated to be due on a day other than
a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be
payable thereon during such extension at the rate of interest that otherwise
applied to such installment.
In the event that Maker fails to pay any amount when due hereunder,
such amount, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall bear interest at a
rate per annum equal to the lesser of the Highest Lawful Rate and 16%, and such
amount (together with such interest) shall be due and payable by Maker on
demand.
Maker may prepay this Note in whole at any time or from time to time in
part without premium or penalty but with accrued interest to the date of
prepayment on the amount so prepaid. All prepayments shall be applied first to
unpaid interest accrued to the date of such prepayment, and the balance, if any,
shall be applied to the outstanding principal of this Note and interest on the
amount of principal so prepaid shall thereupon cease to accrue.
For so long as any indebtedness is outstanding hereunder or under that
certain letter agreement of even date herewith between Maker and Payee (the
"Letter Agreement"), Maker shall not, without the consent of Payee, incur any
indebtedness in connection with the acquisition of any entity or business (by
purchase of assets, purchase of stock or other equity interests, merger or
otherwise) unless either (a) such indebtedness is subordinate in all respects,
including in right of payment, to the indebtedness of Maker to Payee hereunder
and under the Letter Agreement, or (b)
Page 2 of Six
9
the outstanding principal balance of this Note and all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon is paid in full prior to or concurrently with the incurrence of
such indebtedness.
If any of the following events (each an "Event of Default") shall occur
and be continuing:
(a) Maker shall fail to pay when due any amount owing to Payee under
this Note or under the Letter Agreement and such failure shall not have
been remedied within five days following written notice thereof by Payee to
Maker;
(b) Maker shall fail to perform any other term, covenant or agreement
contained in this Note and such failure shall not have been remedied within
30 days following written notice thereof by Payee to Maker;
(c) Maker shall be adjudicated insolvent, or shall generally not pay,
or admit in writing its inability to pay, its debts as they mature, or
shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any
proceeding shall be instituted by Maker seeking to adjudicate itself
insolvent, seeking liquidation, winding-up, reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment, protection, relief or composition of it or its debts under any
law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of
debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of
a receiver, trustee or other similar of official for it or for any
substantial part of its assets or properties, or Maker shall take any
action in furtherance of any of such actions;
(d) any proceeding of the type referred to in clause (c) above is filed
or commenced against Maker, or Maker by any act indicates its approval
thereof, consents thereto or acquiesces therein, or an order for relief is
entered in an involuntary case under the bankruptcy laws of the United
States, or an order, judgment or decree is entered appointing a trustee,
receiver, custodian, liquidator or similar of official or adjudicating
Maker insolvent, or approving the petition in any such proceedings, and
such order, judgment or decree remains in effect for 60 days; or
(e) this Note or the Letter Agreement shall (other than with the
consent of Payee), at any time after its execution and delivery and for any
reason, cease to be in full force and effect, or be declared to be null and
void, or the validity or enforceability hereof or thereof shall be
contested by any person or entity, or Maker (other than in good faith)
shall deny that it has any further liability hereunder or thereunder;
then, (i) upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in clause (c) or
(d) above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note, all interest accrued
and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable by Maker under this Note, shall
automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment for
payment, demand, protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration
or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by
Maker, and Payee may thereupon exercise any and all rights and remedies
available to it at law, in equity or otherwise. Upon the occurrence of any other
Event of Default, Payee may, by written notice to
Page 3 of Six
10
Maker, declare the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note, all interest
accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable by Maker under this
Note, to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon all such amounts shall become
and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment for payment, demand,
protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived
by Maker, and Payee may thereupon exercise any and all rights and remedies
available to it at law, in equity or otherwise.
Except for the notices specified herein, if default is made in the
prompt payment of this Note when due or declared due and the same is placed in
the hands of an attorney for collection, or suit is brought on same, or the same
is collected through probate, bankruptcy or other judicial proceedings, then
Maker agrees to pay to Payee all reasonable attorneys' fees and other reasonable
expenses incurred by Payee in the enforcement or collection hereof, including
costs of court.
Maker and any and all endorsers, guarantors and sureties severally
waive all notices, demands for payment, presentment for payment, protest and
notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, any
other notices of any kind, the filing of suit hereon for the purpose of fixing
liability and diligence in taking any action to collect amounts called for
hereunder, and consent that the time of payment hereof may be extended and
re-extended from time to time without notice to them or any of them.
It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply with the usury laws
of the State of Delaware and of the United States of America. The parties hereto
do not intend to contract for, charge or receive any interest or other charge
which is usurious and, by execution of this Note, Maker acknowledges and agrees
that Payee has no such intent. This Note is hereby expressly limited so that in
no event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity hereof, or
otherwise, shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to Payee or any other
holder hereof for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be due
hereunder, or otherwise, or for the payment or performance of any covenant or
obligation contained herein, exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If from any
circumstance whatsoever fulfillment of any provisions hereof, at the time
performance of such provisions shall be due, shall involve exceeding the valid
limits prescribed by law, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced
to the Highest Lawful Rate, and if from any such circumstance Payee, or any
other holder hereof, shall ever receive as interest or otherwise an amount which
will exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, such amount which would be excessive
interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing
hereunder or under the Letter Agreement and not to the payment of interest, or
if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal hereof and
the Letter Agreement, such excess shall be refunded to Maker. All sums paid and
agreed to be paid to Payee, or any other holder hereof, for the use, forbearance
or detention of the indebtedness of Maker shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the
period until payment in full on this Note (or any renewals, extensions and
rearrangements hereof) so that the actual rate of interest on account of this
indebtedness evidenced by this Note is uniform throughout the term of this Note
(and all renewals, extensions and rearrangements hereof) and does not exceed the
Highest Lawful Rate. The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall control
and supersede any other provision of this Note.

be assigned by Maker without the prior written consent of Payee and any attempt
to do so shall be null and void; provided, however, that no assignment by Maker
of any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall relieve Maker of
its obligations under this Note unless Payee expressly agrees otherwise in
writing. Payee may assign any of its rights, interests and obligations under
this Note to any person or entity; provided, however, that Maker shall not be
obligated to make any payment under this Note to such assignee until notice of
such assignment is given by Payee to Maker.

declared to be invalid, unenforceable or void, such decision will not have the
effect of invalidating or voiding the remainder of this Note, and the part or
parts of this Note so held to be invalid, unenforceable or void will be deemed
to have been stricken herefrom as if such stricken part or parts had never been
