Re: 6% Convertible Preferred Stock
Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Letter Agreement dated October 27, 1998 (the "Letter
Agreement"), sent by Interleaf, Inc. ("Interleaf") to each of you as holders of
the 6% Convertible Preferred Stock of Interleaf ("6% Preferred").
Commitments Received From 75% of the Holders
Interleaf is pleased to advise you that it has received executed counterparts to
the Letter Agreement from the holders of at least 75% of the 6% Preferred
currently outstanding. Accordingly, we are moving forward to close the
transactions contemplated by the Letter Agreement immediately.
Additional Terms
In connection with obtaining the executed counterparts to the Letter Agreement,
the Company agreed that if the Company enters into written commitment(s) to
issue equity or debt securities for cash or other consideration (other than in
connection with the exercise of currently outstanding employee options) during
the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on January 31, 1999, the
Company shall offer to all holders of 6% Preferred who returned an executed
counterpart to the Letter Agreement the opportunity to participate in such
issuance on the same terms and conditions offered to other investors
participating therein.
Participation in any such issuance by all holders of 6% Preferred who returned
an executed counterpart to the Letter Agreement shall be capped at the lesser of
100% of the aggregate portion of such issuance being offered to such other
investors or 50% of the notional value (i.e., $1,000 per share) of the aggregate
shares of 6% Preferred held by such holders as of the date of the Letter
Agreement, with each holder being offered a participation therein based on its
pro rata portion of the aggregate shares of 6% Preferred held by such holders as
of the date of the Letter Agreement.
Please note that you are not being asked to make any decision regarding your
participation in any such issuance at this time. The Company will provide you
with notice of, and information and documentation concerning any such issuance,
if any, at the time thereof, and you will be given five days from such notice to
respond.
