|
Guarantee
of Stock Value.
|
Price
Guaranty. Buyer guarantees that Seller will receive a
minimum of $300,000, net after all commissions, or One Dollar ($1.00) cash
per
share net (the “Guaranteed Price”), on the 300,000 shares (the “Guaranteed
Shares”) that Seller is accepting under this Agreement. To secure this
guarantee, Buyer agrees to the following:
|
A.
|
Right
to Redeem. Beginning October 1, 2008, Seller may
require Buyer to buy back up to 10,000 of the Guaranteed Shares per
month
at the Guaranteed Price. This right is cumulative, so that in the
event it
is not exercised during any month, it will carry forward and be
exercisable in any subsequent month. For example, if Seller does
not
exercise this right for two consecutive months, the following month
Seller
would have the right to require Buyer to purchase 20,000 Guaranteed
Shares
at a price of $20,000.
|
|
B.
|
Release
of Buyer’s Obligations – Market Conditions. In the
event that at any time beginning one year after the closing date
the IMS
stock is trading in the public market above one dollar ($1.00) per
share,
average daily trading volume for the IMS stock for 20 consecutive
trading
days is greater than 20,000 shares and Seller is eligible to sell
shares
under Rule 144, Buyer shall have the right to give notice to Seller
of
such circumstance and to require that Seller elect either: (i) to
sell
10,000 of the Guaranteed Shares into the market, (ii) to allow Buyer
to
redeem such 10,000 Guaranteed Shares at the Guaranteed Price,
or (iii) to retain such 10,000 Guaranteed Shares for
investment, in which case Buyer shall be relieved of $10,000 of its
obligations under this guaranty of stock value. Seller shall notify
Buyer
of its election hereunder within ten days following receipt of Buyer's
notice. If Seller shall fail to give such notice, Seller shall be
deemed
to have elected to retain 10,000 Guaranteed Shares for investment
pursuant
to clause (iii) above.

The
price
guaranty will be considered satisfied at such time as Seller has received a
total of $300,000.00 through any of the options described in Section 4(B) or
any
combination thereof. In such an event, all Buyer’s obligations under this
Agreement will have been fulfilled.
|
5.
|
Liabilities. IMS
shall not be considered a successor corporation of KTE and will not
be
responsible for any KTE liabilities, with the exception of member
trade
account balances, not specifically included in this
Agreement.
|
|
6.
|
Default.
If Buyer fails to make any of the payments required
under this Agreement or the Note, such failure shall be a Default
and upon
written notice of the Default from Seller, Buyer will have twenty
(20)
days to cure the Default. Should Buyer fail to cure the Default,
Seller
shall have the right to require Buyer to make all remaining payments
required under the promissory note.
|
In
the
event of Default as described above, in lieu of demanding payment in full and
buy back of all remaining shares, Seller may instead require Buyer to re-assign
all client barter accounts and all assets of the former KTE back to Seller.
To
ensure that this can be done, Buyer agrees that for the term of this contract,
Buyer will keep the original KTE client barter accounts, along with any that
may
be added in the market, posted in its Tradeworks software as an
individual, separate office.
|
7.

that that for a period of eighteen (18) months from the date of closing,
they will not engage in or otherwise affiliate with any barter or
