24 month period from the Closing through the date which is 24
months thereafter, times the 4,000,000 shares of stock issued
pursuant to this Section (including the value of all splits and
other rights relating thereto), by (y) the publicly traded
closing price on the date which is 24 months after the date of
the Closing.
Seller agrees, and will confirm said agreement by executing one
or more documents so confirming, in form and with content
acceptable to Buyer, that: (A) the stock to be issued under this

insure compliance with applicable federal and state laws. Buyer
obtaining documentation as to the foregoing shall be a condition

the stock.

adjustments as described below, be and be payable as follows:
2.1.1 Eight Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($8,250,000.00), payable with interest on the
outstanding balance calculated at the rate of six percent
(6%) per annum, from the Closing until paid in full, with
principal and interest being payable in full on the date
which is six (6) months after the Closing. This Agreement
shall at the Closing and without further act being required,

Seller will subordinate the debt described in this Section
2.1.1 to one or more liens securing new or replacement asset
financing of Buyer, created after the Closing. If Buyer
consummates a public offering or a private offering before
the debt described in this Section 2.1.1 is paid in full,
then Seller may at its election participate in the offering
by converting its debt then owed under this Section 2.1.1
into equity, at a conversion rate based on 100% of the value
of the stock acquired in the conversion.
6
2.1.2 Two Million (2,000,000) shares of Janex Stock
(defined below), which will be stock newly issued at the
Closing (additional to shares currently issued), and will be

The term "JANEX STOCK" as used herein means the publicly
traded common stock of Buyer, subject to all terms and restrictions
relating thereto.
2.2 Buyer may offset amounts paid by Buyer for debts of Seller
against the amount due by Buyer to Seller as described in Section 2.1.1
above. At the Closing, Seller will provide Buyer with a certified
affidavit listing all of Seller's creditors and the balances owing to
the creditors (all creditors shall be listed, including any with
disputed claims). To the extent of the payments payable under Section
2.1.1 above, Buyer may pay the creditors on said list the amounts owing
as shown on said list, updated to the dates of payment, except that
amounts owing on disputed claims will be paid by Buyer to Xxxxxx X.
Xxxx ("HOLDER") to be held by Holder in escrow in Holder's Bar Trust
Account for the benefit of Buyer and Seller until Buyer and Seller
agree as to the amounts to be paid to the creditors or until a Court
orders distribution of the amounts so held.
Holder shall deposit the amount received under this Section
into an interest bearing account. Interest earned in the account will
be applied in the same manner as principal is applied as called for in
this Section.
Holder shall be relived of all responsibility for funds held upon
surrendering them or tendering surrender of them pursuant to this
Agreement. The parties hereby authorize Holder, in the event any
demand is made upon Holder concerning this Agreement, at Holder's
election, to hold the money and any documents deposited with Holder
until an action shall be brought in a Court of competent jurisdiction
to determine the rights of the parties, or to interplead the parties
by an action brought in any Court. Deposit by Holder of all of said
funds and documents, after deducting therefrom Holder's charges and
expenses and attorneys' fees incurred in connection with any such
Court action or incurred in connection with Holder's duties hereunder,
shall relieve Holder from all further liability and responsibility in
connection therewith.
Seller and Buyer agree to indemnify and defend and hold
Holder harmless against all claims, demands or damages, including
attorneys' fees, expenses, and liabilities that Holder may incur
or sustain in connection with this Agreement or any court action
arising therefrom, and will pay the same upon demand. If not paid
upon demand, such amounts shall accrue interest at the rate of
12% per annum until paid in full.
Solely at Holder's election, Holder may resign as Holder by
sending written notice thereof to the parties to this Agreement.
The resignation shall be effective ten (10) days after the notice
is deposited into the United States mail, or such other date as
selected by Holder. All documents and monies held by Holder after
such resignation shall be returned to the proper parties or held
by Holder at Holder's discretion until the parties shall have
named a successor Holder.

stock) which are described on EXHIBIT 2.5 attached hereto. Xxxxx

be consummated without the use of an independent escrow company.
7. RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.
(a) Seller agree not to, without the prior written consent of
Buyer, which consent may be withheld for any or no reason, for a
period of 3 years following the Closing, directly or indirectly, own,
manage, operate, control, be employed by, participate in, render
services to, make loans to, or be connected in any manner with the
ownership, management, operation, or control of any business operating
a website which is competitive with the Website.
In the event of any actual or threatened breach of the
provisions of this Section, Buyer shall be entitled to an injunction
restraining the actual or threatened breach. The parties further agree
that should there be a violation of the provisions of this Section,
the violating party shall be liable to Buyer for, in addition to
amounts pursuant to other remedies available against that party, two
(2) times the greater of the amount of profit earned by the violating
party as a result of the violation and the amount of profit which
would have been earned by Buyer from the activities causing the
violation had Buyer conducted said activities, plus interest on said
greater amount calculated at eighteen percent (18%) per annum from the
date of the violating activities until paid, as liquidated damages for
only Buyer's loss of potential profits. Nothing in this paragraph
shall be construed as prohibiting Buyer from pursuing any other
available remedies for such breach or threatened breach, including
pursuing a recovery for damages.
(b) Seller shall not, at any time within two (2) years after
the Closing, without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent
may be withheld for any reason or no reason, directly or indirectly
induce, encourage or solicit or assist any person who was or is

the Seller to work on creation or maintenance of the Website during the
two years preceding the Closing, to leave the employ of Buyer, if Buyer
hires said person after the Closing.
(c) The parties acknowledge and agree that the restrictions
contained herein, including but not limited to the time period and
geographical area restrictions, are fair and reasonable and necessary
for the successful operation of the Website, that violation of any of
them would cause irreparable injury, and that the restrictions
contained herein are not unreasonably restrictive of any party's
ability to earn a living. If the scope of any restriction in this
Section is too broad to permit enforcement of such restriction to its
fullest extent, then such restriction shall be enforced to the maximum
extent permitted by law, and all parties hereto consent and agree that
such scope shall be modified judicially or by
10
arbitration in any proceeding brought to enforce such restriction. The
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that remedies at law for any
breach or violation of the provisions of this Section would alone be
inadequate, and agree and consent that temporary and permanent
injunctive relief may be granted in connection with such violations,
without the necessity of proof of actual damage, and such remedies
shall be in addition to other remedies and rights the parties may have
at law or in equity. The parties agree that no party shall be required
to give notice or post any bond in connection with applying for or
obtaining any such injunctive relief.
(d) The parties acknowledge and agree that the covenants in
this Section shall be construed as an agreement independent of any
other provision of this Agreement, so that the existence of any claim
or cause of action by Seller against Buyer, whether predicated on this
Section or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement
of this Section.

including UCC-1 searches, which Buyer may deem necessary or appropriate to
ascertain the financial viability and value of the Assets. Throughout the Due

Buyer.

communicate with Seller's creditors, debtors, suppliers, agents and employees.

Agreement.

may be required by law, in which case the party required to make the release or
announcement shall allow the other party reasonable time to comment on such
release or announcement in advance of such issuance. Buyer shall have the sole
right to determine what, if any, public announcement shall be made after the

the damage which might be sustained for the failure of a party to this Agreement
to consummate the Transaction, and, accordingly, that each party hereto shall be
entitled to the remedy of specific performance to enforce such consummation. The
parties agree that time is of the essence of each and every provision of this
Agreement.
