Dear Xxxx:
This letter relates to the recent discussions regarding the condition to closing set forth in
Section 7.3(e) of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of January 8,
2009, entered into among PlanetOut Inc. (“PlanetOut”), Here Media Inc. (“Here Media”), HMI Merger
Sub and the HMI Owners and the HMI Entities referred to therein.
Here Media has proposed that the United States distribution rights, and certain revenues
related thereto, with respect to the motion picture entitled “Departures” now held by Regent
Releasing LLC (“Regent Releasing”) be transferred to Here Media concurrently with the Closing (as
defined in the Merger Agreement). The transfer to Here Media will be made pursuant to that certain
Assignment and Assumption Agreement between Regent Releasing and Here Media. This will confirm
PlanetOut’s agreement that in the event of such transfer (i) the amounts actually spent by Regent
Releasing and its affiliates pursuant to a plan reasonably approved by Company for prints of and
advertising and other promotional expenses related to such motion picture, not to exceed $1,000,000
(the “P&A Expenses”), will be treated for purposes of the Merger Agreement provisions as having
been spent by or on behalf of Here Media for the benefit of its business at and after the Closing
and (ii) that the amount of unencumbered cash that the HMI Entities are required to have as a
condition to the Closing, which is stated in Section 7.3(e) of the Merger Agreement to be
$5,200,000, subject to reduction for certain costs and expenses not exceeding $500,000 may, at the
election of the HMI Entities be further reduced by the amount of the P&A Expenses.
This letter will further confirm PlanetOut’s agreement that Here Media may describe the
foregoing agreement regarding the condition set forth in Section 7.3(e) of the Merger Agreement in
the registration statement on Form S-4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in
connection with the proposed business combination provided for in the Merger Agreement.
Very truly yours, PlanetOut Inc. /s/ Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Chief Executive Officer |
