4.1 CONDUCT OF THE AFFAIRS OF GLOBAL PENDING THE CLOSING. From the
date of this Agreement until October 31, 1997, Global is authorized, without
notice to Erekesef, to purchase from Erekesef such items of inventory
included in the OSP Assets as it actually ships during such period, in
exchange for a payment to LJR equal to one-half the net sales price received
for such inventory by Global; provided, that upon the Closing of the
transactions contemplated hereby, such assets shall instead be deemed to be
sold to Global in consideration of the Global Shares described herein. The
purchase of Inventory by Global shall be made upon the following terms and
conditions:
(a) Global shall only purchase such Inventory as it ships, on a
day-to-day basis, in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past
practices;
(b) Global shall not sell any Inventory for less than 75% of the
customary sales price of such Inventory;
(c) Global shall not sell any Inventory in a bulk sale or to any
Affiliate of Global. As used herein, the term, "Affiliate" means (1) any
person who is an "affiliate" of a person as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the
United States Securities Exchange Commission under the United States
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (2) any person who is a
director, officer or partner or holds a similar position with any entity in
which such person has
7
a 10% or greater equity or profit interest, and (3) any family member of a
person referred to in (1) or (2);
(d) Global shall provide to LJR a weekly report, within 3 business
days following the end of each week, describing all items of Inventory
purchased hereunder and setting forth Global's sales price therefore;
(e) Global covenants and agrees that it shall not purchase any item
of Inventory until it has received and provided to LJR proof that it has
received adequate written consents to sell the Inventory from the copyright
holders, licensors and others with intellectual property rights relating to
the Inventory;
(f) Global agrees to fully indemnify and hold LJR and Erekesef
harmless from and to defend LJR and Erekesef and their affiliates (the
"Indemnified Parties") against, any and all Damages (as defined below)
incurred or suffered by the Indemnified Parties arising out of Global's
failure to obtain all consents described in Section 4.1(e). No investigation
by LJR or Erekesef at or prior to the date hereof shall relieve Global of any
liability hereunder. "Damages" as used herein shall mean any and all
claims, actions, demands, losses, costs, expenses, liabilities, damages and
recoveries to the full amount of the actual damage occasioned by each
deficiency, misrepresentation, inaccuracy, omission or breach in each case
including interest, penalties or other damage (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses reasonably incurred
in investigating or in attempting to avoid the same or oppose the imposition
thereof or of enforcing this indemnity); and
(g) Subject to receipt of all consents described in Section 4.1(e),
LJR shall convey to Global title to each item of Inventory purchased
hereunder, free and clear of any lien other than liens for sales taxes or
liens created as a result of actions taken prior to the public sale of the
Inventory on October 8, 1997.
If the Closing does not occur within seven days following the date
hereof, all payments for inventory due under this Section 4.1 shall be
immediately due and payable. Subject to the express limitations and
restrictions set forth in this Agreement, Global shall not act or fail to act
in a manner which is likely to result in any representation or warranty of
Global hereunder not to be true and correct as of the Closing or which, if
occurring after the Closing Date, would violate the covenants of Global set
forth herein or require the approval of Erekesef pursuant to the terms hereof.
4.2 COVENANT TO USE BEST EFFORTS TO CLOSE. Erekesef and Global
hereby covenant and agree to use their respective best efforts to perform
each of their obligations hereunder, to satisfy all of the conditions set
forth in this Agreement and to close the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement on the Closing Date.
8
4.3 CONSENTS TO SALES. Global covenants and agrees that it shall
not sell any item of Inventory until it has received and provided to LJR
proof that it has received adequate written consents to sell the Inventory
from the copyright holders, licensors and others with intellectual property
rights relating to the Inventory.
5. COVENANTS OF GLOBAL. Global covenants and agrees with Erekesef that
during the term of this Agreement, unless otherwise consented to in writing
by Erekesef:
5.1 BOARD OF DIRECTORS; VOTING OF GLOBAL SHARES.
(a) APPOINTMENTS. At the Closing, Global shall cause three persons
nominated by Erekesef to be appointed to the Board of Directors of Global,
and shall set and maintain the size of the Board of Directors of Global at
seven (7). In addition, Global shall cause the Board of Directors to be
maintained as a classified board of three classes, with directors of each
class serving for a period of three years. Each of Erekesef's nominees shall
be appointed to serve in a separate class. At least one of Erekesef's
nominees shall be appointed to and maintained as a member of each Board of
Directors of each Subsidiary of Global, and of each Committee of the Board of
Directors of Global and each Subsidiary of Global.
(b) VOTING. For a period of three years and for so long as
Erekesef maintains at least a 5% interest in the Equity Securities of Global,
at the request of Erekesef, from time to time, up to three designees of
Erekesef shall be appointed to the Board of Directors of Global: (i) upon
expiration of the term of any such designee, Global shall include and support
a designee of Erekesef as part of management's nominees for Directors, and
(ii) upon the termination of either such designee's services as a director
other than upon the expiration of term of office, Global shall appoint in the
place of such director a replacement designated by Erekesef. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if Erekesef's interest in the outstanding Global Shares falls
below 20%, it shall be entitled to have only two nominees appointed,
maintained and supported as nominees to be directors of Global, as described
above, and if Erekesef's interest in the outstanding Global Shares falls
below 10%, it shall be entitled to have only one nominee appointed,
maintained and supported as a director of Global, as described above.
(c) ATTENDANCE AT BOARD MEETINGS. For a period of three years, and
at any time when Erekesef does not have a nominee sitting on the Board of
Directors of Global, then Erekesef shall have the right, directly or through
an agent, to attend all meetings of the Board of Directors of Global and each
Subsidiary, and all committees thereof, and shall be provided prior written
notice of all such meetings in the manner notices are provided to directors,
provided that if advance notice is not provided to directors, Global shall
provide advance notice to Erekesef, via fax as set forth below and shall use
its best efforts to allow Erekesef or its agent to attend such meetings
telephonically or otherwise. In addition, Global shall deliver to Erekesef
copies of all actions by written consent of the directors of Global and each
subsidiary,
9
and each committee thereof. Erekesef shall execute a confidentiality
agreement in form reasonably acceptable to Global. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Erekesef may be excluded from those portions of meetings which are
conducted solely for the purpose of (a) discussing transactions between the
company and/or any Subsidiary, on one hand, and Erekesef and its affiliates,
on the other hand, or (b) communicating to and receiving advice from counsel.
5.2 REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
(a) RESALE REGISTRATION. Until the earlier of the third
anniversary of the Closing Date and the date Erekesef shall become entitled
to sell the Global Shares pursuant to subsection (k) of Rule 144, Erekesef
shall have the right to require Global to file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), a registration statement on Form S-3 (or
such other form as the SEC may from time to time prescribe for such purposes)
covering the Global Shares (the "Resale Registration Statement") and to cause
the Resale Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC within
90 days thereafter and to maintain the effectiveness of the Resale
Registration Statement until the earlier of (i) the completion of the
offering covered by the Resale Registration Statement, and (ii) the date
Erekesef shall become entitled to sell the Global Shares pursuant to
subsection (k) of Rule 144; in the event Global proposes to register an
underwritten offering of its Common Stock for its own account under the Act,
it shall have the right to delay or suspend the filing or effectiveness of
the Resale Registration Statement for up to an aggregate of 104 days in any
12-month period to facilitate such registration. If Erekesef proposes to
effect an underwritten offering, Global shall enter into an underwriting
agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter selected by
Erekesef.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a material development in
the business of Global, Global shall advise Erekesef of such event and
Erekesef shall cease using the prospectus included in the Resale Registration
Statement until forty-eight (48) hours following the public disclosure of
such event. Global shall promptly disclose all such material developments
PROVIDED THAT it shall be entitled to delay such disclosure for a reasonable
period of time for valid business purposes, not to exceed five (5) business
days without the consent of Erekesef, not to be unreasonably withheld.
Erekesef shall pay the registration filing fee and legal costs related
to the preparation of the Resale Registration Statement (provided that Global
shall use lawyers reasonably designated by Erekesef for such purpose), and
Global shall pay all expenses related to the preparation and filing of
reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and all other documents incorporated by reference into
the registration statement, including the cost of responding to comments of
the SEC relating to the documents which have been incorporated by reference
into the registration statement.
(b) PIGGY BACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS. If, at any time or from time
to time, Global determines to register any of its securities for its own
account or the account of any
10
other shareholder, other than a registration relating to employee benefit
plans (or the resale of securities acquired pursuant thereto) or a
transaction pursuant to Rule 145 of the SEC, Global shall include in such
registration such number of the Global Shares as Erekesef shall elect in
writing (which election may be rescinded at any time prior to the sale of
such securities) within twenty (20) business days following receipt of notice
of such registration, PROVIDED THAT, if such registration is underwritten, it
shall be a condition that Erekesef participate in such underwriting and enter
into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing
underwriter selected by Global. If the managing underwriter determines that
market forces require limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten,
then, so long as Global is not in violation of its obligations pursuant to
Section 5.2(a), the number of Global Shares owned by Erekesef to be included
in the registration may be limited to no less on a pari passu basis with
other shareholders; if Global is in violation of such obligations, then
Erekesef shall be entitled to cause all Global Shares held by it to be
included in the registration in preference to all other shareholders of
Global. Erekesef shall have the right to approve the underwriter of any
offering by Global, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
All registration expenses (excluding the cost of special legal counsel
to be retained by Erekesef) in connection with the registrations contemplated
by this Section 5.2 shall be borne by Global, but all direct selling expenses
of Erekesef (including broker fees and underwriting commissions) shall be
borne by Erekesef. In connection with any such registration statement,
Erekesef shall promptly furnish Global with such written representations,
information and consents regarding Erekesef, the Global Shares and the
intended method of distribution of the Global Shares as shall be necessary
for inclusion in the Registration Statement.
5.3 MANAGEMENT MEETINGS. At the request of Erekesef, no more than
four (4) times per year, management of Global shall meet (the "Management
Meetings") with Erekesef at Global's offices to discuss the performance,
prospects and strategies of Global. The Management Meetings shall be
utilized to discuss the general business and prospects of Global and its
Subsidiaries. The management of Global shall attend such meetings, and
Global shall use good faith efforts to discuss any concerns of Erekesef with
respect to the business and prospects of Global. Erekesef shall bear its own
expenses in connection with such meetings.
5.4 PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS.
(a) RIGHT TO PURCHASE. Except for the transaction currently
contemplated between Global and Xxxxxxx Xxxx, substantially on the terms set
forth in the draft provided to Erekesef's counsel on October 15, 1997 (the
"Xxxx Transaction"), for three years following the date hereof, in the event
Global determines to issue additional debt securities or Equity Securities or
rights therefor, Global shall so inform Erekesef, and Erekesef shall have the
right, exercisable within twenty (20) days of receipt of written notice from
Global, to elect to purchase (which election may be rescinded at any time
prior to the issuance of such securities), at a price per share equal to the
purchase price at which such securities are proposed to be offered by Global,
a percentage of such securities equal to Erekesef's then current percentage
11
ownership interest in the Global Shares. The foregoing rights shall not
apply to an issuance of Equity Securities which are outstanding on the date
hereof or which are issuable upon the exercise, exchange or conversion of
such outstanding Equity Securities in accordance with their terms on the date
hereof.
(b) NON-CASH CONSIDERATION. If Global proposes to issue Global
Shares for non-cash consideration, Global shall be deemed to have issued such
Global Shares for cash in an amount equal to the fair market value of the
cash, securities and other property received by Global for such Global
Shares. If Global proposes to issue Shares for non-cash consideration,
Global shall provide to Erekesef a description of the transaction which shall
specify Global's estimate of the fair market value of such consideration,
which estimate shall conclusively bind Global, but not Erekesef. Erekesef
may, by giving written notice to Global, challenge such estimate in which
case the parties shall endeavor in good faith to negotiate and agree upon the
fair market value of the non-cash consideration. Erekesef shall have the
right to request and receive responses to inquiries and such other
information from Global as it may reasonably request to allow it to ascertain
the fair market value of the non-cash consideration. All such documents and
information shall be supplied promptly. If the parties are unable to reach
agreement on such issue within ten (10) days following the delivery of notice
to Global of the challenge of the fair market value of the non-cash
consideration, the parties shall submit such issue for resolution to a
mutually agreeable national accounting firm with whom neither party then has
a professional relationship (the "Independent Accountant") for final
determination using the following procedures. Each party shall submit its
determination of the fair market value of the non-cash consideration,
together with reasonable supporting materials, including materials reasonably
requested by the Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall
promptly thereafter choose between the submitted valuations and declare one
valuation as the conclusive and binding valuation. No party may challenge,
dispute or otherwise contest the Independent Accountant's choice (judicially
or otherwise) except on the grounds of actual fraud or manifest error.
Erekesef shall have ten (10) days following the determination by the
Independent Accountant to elect to exercise its right to purchase securities
as described above. The party whose valuation is not selected shall pay the
costs and fees of the Independent Accountant.
5.5 AFFILIATE TRANSACTIONS. Except for the Xxxx transaction, for a
period of three years following the date hereof, neither Global nor any
Subsidiary shall enter into any transaction (other than the employment
relationships currently existing) with any director, officer, shareholder or
any of their Affiliates other than transactions in the ordinary course of
business on terms no less favorable to Global or such Subsidiary, as the case
may be, than could be obtained from an independent third party.
5.6 ANTIDILUTION RIGHTS. Except for the Xxxx transaction, prior to
the date of the next shareholders meeting, Global shall not issue or sell, or
enter into any agreement to issue or sell, any debt or equity securities, or
rights therefor, or amend its certificate of
12
incorporation or bylaws in a manner which affects its outstanding securities,

10.1 INDEMNIFICATION BY EREKESEF. Erekesef hereby indemnifies
Global and/or its Affiliates (collectively the "Erekesef Indemnified Parties"
and each individually a "Erekesef Indemnified Party") against, and agrees to
hold the Erekesef Indemnified Parties harmless from, and to defend Erekesef

investigation by Global at or prior to the date hereof shall relieve Erekesef
of any liability hereunder.

Parties" and each individually a "Global Indemnified Party") against, and
agrees to hold the Global Indemnified Parties from, and to defend the Global

or any agreement delivered in connection herewith, or any breach of any
warranty, covenant or agreement made or to be performed by Global pursuant to
this Agreement. No investigation by Erekesef at or prior to the date hereof
shall relieve Global of any liability hereunder.
10.3 RIGHTS CUMULATIVE; SEVERABILITY. No right granted to the
parties hereunder on default or breach is intended to be in full or complete
satisfaction of any damages arising out of such default or breach, and each
and every such right hereunder, or under any other document delivered
hereunder, or allowed by law or equity, shall be cumulative and may be
exercised from time to time. If any provision of this Agreement or the
application thereof to any person or circumstance is held unconstitutional or
otherwise invalid, the unconstitutionality or invalidity thereof shall not

without the unconstitutional or invalid provision or application, and to this
end the provisions of this Agreement are severable.

reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses reasonably incurred
in investigating or in attempting to avoid the same or oppose the imposition
thereof or of enforcing this indemnity).
16
10.5 RIGHT TO DEFEND, ETC. If the facts giving rise to any such
indemnification shall involve any actual claim or demand by any third Person
against an Erekesef Indemnified Party or a Global Indemnified Party (referred
to hereinafter as an "Indemnified Party"), the indemnifying party shall be
entitled to notice of and entitled (without prejudice to the right of any
Indemnified Party to participate at its own expense through counsel of its
own choosing) to defend or prosecute such claim at its expense and through
counsel of its own choosing and to control such defense if it gives written
notice of its intention to do so no later than the time by which the
interests of the Indemnified Party would be materially prejudiced as a result
of its failure to have received such notice; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the
defendants in any action shall include both the indemnifying party and an
Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded
that counsel selected by the indemnifying party has a conflict of interest
because of the availability of different or additional defenses to the
Indemnified Party, each Indemnified Party shall have the right to select
separate counsel to participate in the defense of such action on its behalf,
at the expense of the indemnifying party. The Indemnified Party shall
cooperate fully in the defense of such claim and shall make available to the
indemnifying party pertinent information under its control relating thereto,
but shall be entitled to be reimbursed, as provided in this SECTION 10, for
all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection therewith.
10.6 SUBROGATION. If the Indemnified Party receives payment or
other indemnification from the indemnifying party hereunder with respect to
any claim or demand by any third Person against the Indemnified Party, the
indemnifying party shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment or
indemnification to all rights in respect of the subject matter of such claim
to which the Indemnified Party may be entitled, to institute appropriate
action for the recovery thereof, and the Indemnified Party agrees to provide
reasonable levels of assistance and cooperation to the indemnifying party
(but only if such does not involve expense to the Indemnified Party) in

13. TERMINATION. The transactions contemplated herein may be
terminated at any time prior to the Closing, by mutual written consent of
Global and Erekesef or by either party if the satisfaction of the conditions
to the obligation of such party to effect the transactions contemplated

Association ("AAA") in Los Angeles, California, in accordance with the rules
of the AAA provided that to the extent necessary to render the decision of

arbitration rules set forth in the California Code of Civil Procedure,
Section 1280 ET SEQ. (the "Rules of Arbitration") and the provisions of
Section 1283.05 of the Rules of Arbitration concerning rights of discovery
shall govern. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitration panel (the

arbitrator appointed by the party initiating such arbitration; and (z) such
other matters as may be required by the Rules of Arbitration. The party who

courts for such purpose.
22. DELAY, ETC. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or
