Exhibit 10.10
AGREEMENT TO ENTER INTO NEW SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT TO ENTER INTO NEW SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”),
dated as of April 29, 2008, is between GLOBAL EMPLOYMENT HOLDINGS, INC. (the “Company”), WHITEBOX CONVERTIBLE
ARBITRAGE PARTNERS, LP, in its capacity as Collateral Agent for the Noteholders (as defined below)
(the “Collateral Agent”) and the holders of the Notes (as defined below) listed on the signature
pages hereto (individually, a “Noteholder” and collectively, the “Noteholders”). Unless otherwise
noted herein, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in
the Subordination Agreement, dated as of February 28, 2007, by and among CAPITALSOURCE FINANCE LLC
(“CapitalSource”), the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders and (the “Old Subordination
Agreement”).
WHEREAS:
A. The Company and the Noteholders are parties to the Notes Securities Purchase Agreement,
dated as of March 31, 2006, as amended, pursuant to which the Company issued and the Noteholders
purchased Senior Secured Convertible Notes, dated as of March 31, 2006 (the “Notes”).
B. Pursuant to the Old Subordination Agreement, the debt evidenced by the Notes is
subordinated to the Senior Lender Indebtedness.
C. The Company’s subsidiary, Global Employment Solutions, Inc., has proposed a senior debt
refinancing (the “Refinancing”) whereby the Senior Credit Agreement will be terminated and the
Senior Lender Indebtedness will be paid in full to CapitalSource and a new credit agreement will be
entered into with Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association (“Xxxxx Fargo”) to permit borrowings of up
to $26,000,000 (the “New Credit Agreement”).
D. Pursuant to Section 12 of the Old Subordination Agreement, upon payment in full of the
Senior Lender Indebtedness, CapitalSource is required to transfer possession and control of the
Specified Collateral in its possession to the Collateral Agent; and immediately upon such transfer,
the Collateral Agent shall become the pledgeholder of the Specified Collateral. In order to induce
Xxxxx Fargo to enter into the New Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders have
agreed that Xxxxx Fargo shall have possession and control of the Specified Collateral, which
Specified Collateral shall be held by Xxxxx Fargo pursuant to the Subordination Agreement dated as
of the date hereof between Xxxxx Fargo and the Noteholders, in substantially the form of Exhibit A
hereto (the “New Subordination Agreement”). In order to induce the Noteholders to enter into the
New Subordination Agreement the Company has agreed to offer to repurchase Notes on the terms set
forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company, the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders hereby agree as follows:
1. New Subordination Agreement and Transfer of Specified Collateral. The undersigned
Noteholders hereby agree to execute and deliver the New Subordination Agreement and that,
notwithstanding Section 12 of the Old Subordination Agreement, the Specified Collateral shall be
transferred by CapitalSource directly to Xxxxx Fargo, as directed by Xxxxx Fargo, upon execution
and delivery of the New Subordination Agreement by all parties thereto.
2. Initial Note Repurchase. Subject to the closing of the Refinancing, the Company
hereby agrees to make an offer to repurchase, pro rata from the Noteholders, on the ten day
anniversary of the date hereof (or, if not a Business Day, on the next Business Day thereafter)
(the “Repurchase Date”) at least $3,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes at a price equal to
95% of the principal amount thereof plus interest accrued through the Repurchase Date. Each
Noteholder wishing to sell Notes to the Company pursuant to this Section 2 shall deliver a
completed Repurchase Election Form (attached as Exhibit B hereto) to Xxx Xxxxxxxxxx at the Company
no later than the close of business on the second Business Day after the date hereof. To the
extent that a Noteholder elects to have less than its pro rata share of Notes repurchased, other
Noteholders may elect to have the Company purchase an amount equal to the remaining Notes of such
Noteholder on a pro rata basis if so indicated on their Repurchase Election Forms. Each Noteholder
electing to have Notes repurchased shall surrender its Note to the Company in exchange for a new
Note reflecting the Noteholders remaining Notes.
3. Additional Note Repurchase. Subject to the closing of the Refinancing, the Company
agrees that it will not repurchase Notes other than as set forth in Section 2 and pursuant to an
additional note repurchase program for up to $3,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes at the
same price and on the same terms set forth in Section 2. Following completion of the second
repurchase program, the Company and each Noteholder may negotiate individually with respect to the
terms, if any, of additional Note repurchases.
4. Further Assurances. The Company, the Collateral Agent and each undersigned
Noteholder shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and
things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and
documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby.
5. Signatures; Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and
all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by fax or other electronic means shall be
equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party
delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by fax or other electronic means also shall
deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original
executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this
Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the undersigned has caused this Agreement to be executed and
