AMENDMENT AND WAIVER AGREEMENT
EXHIBIT 10.22
AMENDMENT AND WAIVER AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDMENT AND WAIVER AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of August ___, 2009, is entered into among Visual Management Systems, Inc, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) and the holders of the Company’s Original Issue Discount 5% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (individually, a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement or the Debentures (each as defined below).
WHEREAS, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, as amended, (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated November 29, 2007, between the Company and the Holders, the Company sold Original Issue Discount 5% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”) to the Holders, in the aggregate sum of $3.75 million in Principal Amount; and
WHEREAS, the Company has requested that the Holders agree to certain waivers and amendments under the Transaction Documents, and the Holders have agreed to such request, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement;
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each Holder hereby agrees as follows:
1. Waiver of Defaults on the Debentures. The Holders hereby waive the Company’s compliance with Section 8(a)(i)(B) of the Debentures in connection with the Company’s failure to pay interest since August 2008, and failure to make payments pursuant to the Monthly Redemption beginning in November 2008 and continuing through the date of this Agreement (the “Limited Default Waiver”). This Limited Default Waiver shall not affect the rights set forth in Section 8 of the Debentures with respect to any other present or future Events of Default.
2. Adjusted Principal Amount. The Company hereby agrees to issue to each Holder in exchange for such Holder’s Debentures, an amended and restated debenture (the “Amended and Restated Debentures”) with a principal amount equal to the Principal Amount of such Holder’s current Debenture plus all outstanding and unpaid interest due and payable on such Debenture as of the date hereof. The individual principal amounts of the Amended and Restated Debentures are as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto. Other than as amended hereunder, the rights and obligations of the Holders and the Company with respect to the Amended and Restated Debentures shall be identical in all respects to the rights and obligations of the Holders and the Company with respect to the Debentures and the Underlying Shares issued and issuable pursuant to each Purchase Agreement. For clarity, the Purchase Agreement and all Transaction Documents thereunder are hereby amended so that the term “Debentures” includes the Amended and Restated Debentures and the term “Underlying Shares” includes the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion and redemption thereof, and the term “Transaction Documents” shall be amended to include this Agreement. The Amended and Restated Debentures are being issued in substitution for and not in satisfaction of the outstanding Debentures of each Holder. Upon the written request of either any of the Holders or the Company, each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the instruments representing the original Debentures to the Company in exchange for such Holder’s Amended and Restated Debenture that reflect the revised terms of such securities as set forth in this Agreement.
3. Adjustment to the Conversion Price. The Company hereby agrees to amend the terms of the Amended and Restated Debenture as follows:
|
|
|
(a) The Conversion Price of the Amended and Restated Debentures shall be reduced to be equal to (a) from the date hereof until January 1, 2010, $0.10 per share, subject to adjustment therein and (b) from January 1, 2010 until the Maturity Date, 80% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. during the 20 Trading Days immediately prior to the applicable Conversion Date, but in no case less than $0.00625. As such, Section 4(b) of the Amended and Restated Debentures is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: |
1
|
|
|
|
|
“Conversion Price. From August __, 2009 until January 1, 2010, the conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to $0.10, subject to adjustment herein (the “Conversion Price”) and, from January 1, 2010 until the Maturity Date, the conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to the lesser of (a) $0.10, subject to adjustment herein (the “Set Price”) and (b) 80% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. during the 20 Trading Days immediately prior to the applicable Conversion Date, but in no case less than $0.00625 (subject to adjustment herein) (the “Conversion Price”).” |
|

|
|
(b) Section 5(a) of the Amended and Restated Debenture shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
“Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon conversion of, or payment of interest on, the Debentures); (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares; (C) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of share; or (D) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Set Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.” |
|
|
|
|
(c) Section 5(b) of the Amended and Restated Debenture shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: |
|

“Subsequent Equity Sales. If, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, the Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable, sells or grants any option to purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition), any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Set Price (such lower price, the “Base Conversion Price” and such issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the Set Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Set Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Set Price shall be reduced to equal the Base Conversion Price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 5(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. If the Company enters into a Variable Rate Transaction, despite the prohibition set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion price at which such securities may be converted or exercised. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than 1 Business Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 5(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 5(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based upon the Base Conversion Price on or after |
2
|
|
|
|
|
the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion.” |

Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants.” |

|
|
|
(e) Section 5(d) of the Amended and Restated Debenture shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: |

In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement delivered to the Holder describing the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to 1 share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.” |
