Agreement (the "Agreement") is made and entered into as of the 24th day of
April, 2000, by and between United Leisure Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("ULC"), United Internet Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation and
wholly-owned subsidiary of ULC (formerly known as United Leisure Interactive,
Inc. and hereinafter referred to as "UIT"), Xxxxx Xxxxxxx ("X. Xxxxxxx"), Xxxxx
Xxxxxxx ("X. Xxxxxxx"), xxxxxxxxx.xxx, inc., a New Jersey corporation (formerly
known as Genisys Reservations Systems, Inc. and hereinafter referred to as
"Netcruise"), Netcruise Interactive, Inc., a New Jersey corporation and
wholly-owned subsidiary of Netcruise ("NII"), and Xxxxxx Xxxxx ("Perri"), with
reference to the following facts:
Recitals:
1. ULC, UIT, Netcruise and NII heretofore entered into that certain Asset
Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 30th, 1998 (together with all exhibits
thereto and all documents and instruments of every type which were executed in
connection therewith, the "APA"), pursuant to which, among other things, UIT
sold, to NII, all of UIT's right, title and interest in and to the License (as
defined in the APA) and the other Assets (as defined in the APA), in exchange
for, among other things, (i) 2,000,000 shares (the "Shares") of the common
shares (the "Common Stock") of Netcruise, and (ii) two common stock purchase
warrants collectively exercisable for the purchase of up to an additional
1,600,000 shares of Common Stock (collectively, the "Old UIT Warrants").
Pursuant to the APA, Netcruise also issued, to X. Xxxxxxx, two common stock
purchase warrants collectively exercisable for the purchase of up to 400,000
shares of Common Stock (collectively, the "Old X. Xxxxxxx Warrants").
2. The APA was subsequently amended pursuant to that certain Agreement, dated as
of the 28th day of October, 1998 (the "First Amendment"); and the APA and the
First Amendment were subsequently amended pursuant to that certain Agreement,
dated as of January 25, 1999 (the "Second Amendment"). The APA, the First
Amendment and the Second Amendment, together with any and all documents and
instruments of every type which have heretofore been executed in connection
therewith, and all amendments to the foregoing, are sometimes hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Amended APA."
3. Certain disputes have arisen between the parties (other than Perri) in
respect of the Amended APA, which all of the parties wish to fully, finally and
forever resolve pursuant to this Agreement. 1.

4. Perri desires to purchase from UIT, and UIT desires to sell to Perri,
1,500,000 of the Shares (the "Perri Shares") pursuant to this Agreement; and
Netcruise and NII have consented to such purchase and sale.
5. UIT represents that it has not sold, encumbered or otherwise transferred any
of the Shares or any of the Old UIT Warrants, or any interest therein, except to
the extent contemplated by the Amended APA.
6. X. Xxxxxxx represents that he either has never received, or has misplaced,
the requisite instruments representing the Old X. Xxxxxxx Warrants
(collectively, the "Old X. Xxxxxxx Certificates"); but that he has not sold,
encumbered or otherwise transferred any of the Old X. Xxxxxxx Warrants, or any
interest therein.
7. Based upon the respective representations of UIT and X. Xxxxxxx contained in
Recital E and Recital F above, and Netcruise's and NII's failure to effect the
Delivery (as defined in the First Amendment) of the United Preferred Shares (as
defined in the First Amendment) to UIT (which failure, together with all other
outstanding issues between the parties, is being fully, finally and forever
resolved pursuant to this Agreement), Netcruise and NII represent that (i) the
Shares, the Old UIT Warrants and the Old X. Xxxxxxx Warrants are duly and
validly authorized, issued, outstanding and fully paid and nonassessable; (ii)
UIT owns all of the Shares and the Old UIT Warrants, of record and beneficially,
free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances of every type
(collectively, "Encumbrances"); (iii) X. Xxxxxxx owns all of the Old X. Xxxxxxx
Warrants, of record and beneficially, free and clear of all Encumbrances; (iv)
UIT has the right to sell the Perri Shares to Perri pursuant to this Agreement;
and (v) when the Perri Shares have been purchased by and sold to Perri pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement, Perri will own the Perri Shares free and clear
of all Encumbrances. Based upon the same reasons and also in reliance upon the
representation of Netcruise and NII contained in Recital G(i), UIT joins in the
representations made with respect to it by Netcruise and NII in Recital G(ii),
(iv) and (v), and X. Xxxxxxx joins in the representations made with respect to
him by Netcruise and NII in Recital G(iii).
8. Each of the parties represents that such party's execution and delivery of
this Agreement, and the performance by such party of such party's obligations
hereunder, have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate and
other action, and that this Agreement is binding upon and enforceable against
such party in accordance with its terms.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Incorporation by Reference of Recitals. The foregoing Recitals are
incorporated herein by this reference; and the statements contained therein
shall be deemed to constitute representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements of the parties to which they relate.
2. Perri Shares; Etc.
(1) Purchase and Sale. In reliance upon the truth and accuracy of the
representations and warranties of Perri, Netcruise and NII contained in this
Agreement, but subject to UIT's receipt from Perri of the full Perri Shares
Purchase Price (hereinafter defined) by wire transfer (the "Wire Transfer") into
a bank account designated by UIT for such purpose to Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx, Esq.
("Xxxxx"), of Scheichet & Xxxxx, P.C. (the "Account"), and further subject to
compliance by Netcruise and NII with their obligations contained in this Section
2 and in Sections 3(a)(ii)(B), 3(a)(ii)(C) and 3(ii)(D) hereof, UIT agrees to,
and hereby does, sell, transfer and convey to Perri all of UIT's right, title
and interest in and to the Perri Shares. Similarly, Perri agrees to, and hereby
does, purchase from UIT all of UIT's right, title and interest in and to the
Perri Shares for the aggregate purchase price of $600,000 (the "Perri Shares
Purchase Price"), which amount Perri agrees to immediately pay to UIT by Wire
Transfer of the full Perri Shares Purchase Price to the Account in immediately
available funds. Each of Netcruise and NII hereby consent to and approve of the
purchase and sale of the Perri Shares pursuant to this Agreement.
(2) New Certificates. In furtherance of its transfer of the Perri Shares to
Perri pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof, promptly after the date hereof UIT will,
by delivering the same to Xxxxx, deliver to Netcruise (for the benefit of Perri
and UIT) UIT's stock certificate (the "Old UIT Certificate") evidencing the
Shares, accompanied by (i) an appropriate assignment separate from certificate
(the "Stock Assignment") covering the Perri Shares, and (ii) a copy of a written
consent (the "Board Consent") of UIT's sole director adopting resolutions
approving the sale of the Perri Shares to Perri. Promptly following receipt by
Xxxxx of the foregoing, Netcruise shall (i) validly issue two new stock
certificates evidencing the Shares, one in the amount of 1,500,000 of the Shares
(the "Perri Related New Certificate") and one in the amount of 500,000 of the
Shares (the "New UIT Certificate"); and (ii) deliver the Perri Related New
Certificate to Perri and the New UIT Certificate to UIT. Each of Perri and
Netcruise acknowledges and agrees that UIT will be deemed to have satisfied its
obligations to Perri under Section 2(a) above and this Section 2(b) upon
delivery of the Old UIT Certificate, Stock Assignment and Board Consent to Xxxxx
in such manner and at such time as may be agreed to by Xxxxx and counsel for
UIT.
