Re:
Recapitalization of Radius, Inc.
Gentlemen:
Attached you will find the final draft of the Term Sheet containing the
agreement in principle which we believe has been reached regarding the
recapitalization of Radius, Inc. The Term Sheet contemplates that the
recapitalization will be accomplished by an out of court voluntary arrangement
between Radius and its creditors which the Creditors Committee will actively
support. It was agreed, however, that if it becomes apparent that the
recapitalization cannot be accomplished by an out of court voluntary
arrangement, a petition for reorganization of Radius under Chapter 11 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code will be filed to consummate the recapitalization
plan. The following is a summary of the procedure for the attempt to achieve the
plan voluntarily and filing the pre-packaged Chapter 11 if it becomes necessary.
a. A good faith attempt shall be made by all parties to achieve the
recapitalization of Radius, in the manner set forth in the Term Sheet, without
the necessity of filing a petition for reorganization of Radius under Chapter 11
of the United States Bankruptcy Code. To that end, the parties shall do the
following:
i.The Committee shall, within two (2)days following execution of the Term Sheet
by Radius and IBM Credit send out a bulletin to the creditors of Radius
indicating:
(i) that the Committee has met and conferred with Radius and IBM Credit and
agreed in principle that it believes that it would be in the best interests
of all unsecured creditors to compromise or convert their claims into stock of
Radius upon the terms set forth in the Term Sheet;
(ii) that Radius will, subject to the registration of the necessary stock,
make an offer to the creditors to compromise or convert their claims into stock
of Radius upon the terms set forth in the Term Sheet;
(iii) that the Committee recommends that the creditors accept such offer
from Radius when received;
(iv) that if the percentage of creditors specified in the Term Sheet does
not accept said offer, a petition for reorganization of Radius under Chapter 11
of the United States Bankruptcy Code, will be filed proposing a plan of
reorganization consistent with the Term Sheet; and
(v) that the creditors will be receiving an informational package
concerning Radius and a ballot to elect how their claims will be treated.
b. In the event that it should become necessary because of:
i. the failure of Radius to deliver to counsel for the Committee the items
specified herein in paragraph C in a timely manner;
ii. an inability to comply with federal or state securities laws required
to issue the preferred and common stock and warrants provided for in the Term
Sheet (including an inability to have the registration statement become
effective on or before September 30, 1996, (the "Closing Date");
iii. an inability to obtain the necessary consents of creditors as
specified in the Term Sheet, especially in the convenience class;
iv. the necessity of staying litigation against Radius which would
otherwise unreasonably interfere with Radius' ability to continue to operate its
business;
v. protection of Radius' Board of Directors, IBM Credit or the Committee
from claims related to their negotiations or other dealings with one another;
vi. protection of Radius and its creditors from materially adverse tax
consequences from the conversion of debt into stock, as provided for in the Term
Sheet; or
vii. an inability, for any other reason, to carry out the provisions of the
Term Sheet without the filing of a petition for reorganization of Radius under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, on or before the Closing Date;
Radius shall cause to be filed such a petition, in which Radius shall propose a
plan of reorganization which is consistent with the terms of the Term Sheet,
other than those related to registration of the preferred and common stock and
warrants. IBM Credit and the Committee shall support said Plan.
c. To facilitate the ability to file such a petition:
i.
Radius will prepare and deposit with counsel for the Committee, within seven
(7) days from the execution of the Term Sheet, a duly executed petition for
reorganization of Radius under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code
and certified resolutions of Radius' Board of Directors authorizing the filing
of such petition and such other documents as are required to file such a
petition;
ii.
Radius will prepare and deposit with counsel for the Committee, within twenty
one (21) days from the execution of the Term Sheet, an informational document to
be used in the solicitation of consents from the creditors to the compromise or
conversion of their debt as specified in the Term Sheet, including a prospectus
which complies with the disclosure requirements of the SEC for solicitation of
such conversion in a voluntary plan and a disclosure statement describing the
recapitalization plan specified in the Term Sheet, complying with all
requirements of the United States Bankruptcy Code.
iii.
Radius and the Committee, acting in concert, shall, within five (5) days from
delivery of the above described informational document mail said informational
document to the creditors of Radius and solicit the consents of the creditors to
the compromise or conversion of their debt as specified in the Term Sheet.
Radius shall have a period of thirty (30) days from the mailing of said
informational document to obtain the necessary consents.
iv.
Radius will prepare and deposit with counsel for the Committee, within forty
five (45) days from the execution of the Term Sheet, all necessary schedules to
the petition, a plan of reorganization consistent with the terms of the Term
Sheet, any consents of creditors and shareholders to the plan obtained and such
other documents as are required to file a "pre- packaged" plan of
reorganization.
v.
Counsel for the Committee is hereby authorized, upon the occurrence of one of
the events specified in paragraph B above, and upon two days notice to, and
consultation with, Radius and IBM Credit, to file said petition.
d.
To facilitate the payment of the fees of counsel to the Committee for their
increased level of services related to communicating with the creditors and
soliciting their consent to the recapitalization plan set forth in the Term
Sheet, Radius shall pay to said counsel, on an accelerated basis and no less
favorable basis as counsel to Radius, the amount shown as owing on said
statement. This is not intended, however, to effect a subordination of any of
IBM Credit's claims, liens or other rights.
If the above correctly reflects your agreement, please have your respective
clients execute a copy of this letter at the place indicated and return it to us
with the executed Term Sheet. We will also obtain the signatures of the
Creditors Committee which will be binding on them not only as members of the
Committee but as individual creditors as well.
Very truly yours,
L. Xxxxxx Xxxxxx
