E. eAuto and Governors Road Parties desire to amend certain terms of the
Purchaser Warrants and Agent Warrants.
In consideration for entering into this Agreement and in consideration for the
promises and respective releases set forth below, eAuto, Governors Road and
Xxxxx agree as follows:
AGREEMENT TERMS
1. Conversion of Preferred Stock; Issuance of Certificates. Governors Road
hereby notifies eAuto that it desires to convert all 104 shares of Preferred
Stock into 3,151,515 shares of Common Stock ("Conversion Shares"). Governors
Road represents that all of the 104 shares of Series A Preferred Stock that is
being converted into Common Stock have been held by Governors Road an excess of
two years. Governors Road further represents it is not an "affiliate" of eAuto
as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933. Accordingly, eAuto will
cause its transfer agent to issue the Conversion Shares to Governors Road or its
designee in such denominations as instructed by Governors Road without legend
pursuant to Rule 144 in connection with the conversion of the Preferred Stock
into Common Stock.
2. Treatment of Dividend Shares. In connection with this agreement, eAuto
represents that 1,038,667 common shares are due and owed to satisfy the accrued
and unpaid dividends due on the Preferred Stock through the date of this
agreement ("Dividend Shares"). In this regard, the parties agree that the
236,260 eAuto common shares originally issued to Governors Road to be held in
escrow in connection with the original issuance of the Preferred Shares, will be
offset against the 1,038,667 common shares eAuto would be required to issue to
satisfy accrued and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Shares.
2
EAuto will cause its transfer agent to issue the net amount of common shares,
802,407, to Governors Road or its designee in such denominations as instructed
by Governors Road. A total of 115,036 of the net common shares, having been
earned in excess of two years prior to the date of this agreement, will be
issued without legend pursuant to Rule 144. The remaining 687,371 shares will be
issued with restrictive legend pursuant to Rule 144.
3. Purchase of Shares by Xxxxx. Xxxxx will purchase all of the Conversion Shares
and all of the Dividend (the "Shares") for an aggregate purchase price of
$474,470.64 (i.e. $.12 per share). Governors Road and Xxxxx agree to utilize the
services of Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxx LLP as the escrow agent to facilitate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement ("Escrow Agent"). Governors Road
consents to eAuto instructing its transfer agent to deliver all Conversion
Shares without restrictive legend to the Escrow Agent. Governors Road will
deliver a signature medallion stock power for the Conversion Shares and all the
Dividend Shares to the Escrow Agent. Xxxxx will deliver the purchase price for
the Conversion Shares and the Dividend Shares to the Escrow Agent in immediately
available funds. At such time as the Escrow Agent has received the Conversion
Shares, Dividend Shares, signature medallion stock powers, and purchase price
proceeds, it shall notify Xxxxx, Governors Road and eAuto by email or facsimile.
When the Escrow Agent receives confirmation either by email or facsimile from
Xxxxx, Governors Road and eAuto that it is authorized to consummate this
transaction, it will distribute the purchase price proceeds for the Conversion
Shares and Dividend Shares to an account designated by Governors Road, and shall
promptly forward the Conversion Shares certificates, all Dividend Share
certificates, and signature medallion stock powers to an account or location
designated by Xxxxx. If for any reason all parties do not consent to this
transaction within three (3) business days after the notice from Escrow Agent,
the Escrow Agent shall return the purchase price proceeds to Xxxxx, the
Conversion and Dividend Shares to the transfer agent, and the signature
medallion stock powers to Governors Road.
4. Amendment of Terms of Purchaser Warrant and Agent Warrant. eAuto agrees that
the exercise price for all of the Purchaser Warrants and Agent Warrants issued
to the Governors Road Affiliates shall be set at $.35 per share. The Governors
Road Affiliates and eAuto acknowledge that the cashless exercise provisions set
forth in the Purchaser Warrants and the Agent Warrants are hereby deleted. The
Governors Road Affiliates agree that Section 6 of each of the Purchaser Warrant
3
and Agent Warrants caption "Reclassification, Reorganization, Consolidation or
Merger" is deleted in its entirety. In lieu thereof, the holder of the Purchaser
Warrants or Agent Warrants shall be given at least 30 days' prior written notice
of any consolidation or merger of eAuto with or into another corporation or in
the event of any sale, lease, transfer or conveyance to another corporation of
the property and assets of eAuto as an entirety or substantially as an entirety.
The holders of the Purchaser Warrants and Agent Warrants shall have the right to
exercise such Warrants prior to consummation of any such transaction and to
participate as a Common Shareholder in such transaction. If the holders of the
Purchaser Warrants and Agent Warrants do not exercise such Warrants in
connection with such transaction, such Warrants shall terminate. The piggyback
registration rights for the Warrants shall remain in effect.
The parties agree that the call provisions for the Purchaser Warrants and Agent
Warrants (the "Warrants") shall be amended as follows. The Company, at its
4
option, may redeem all or any portion on a pro rata basis, of outstanding
Warrants at a price of $.01 per Warrant, upon at least 10 days' notice to the
registered Holders of such Warrants, provided that the average closing price per
share of Common Stock (determined as hereinafter provided) shall have been $.45
or greater than the applicable Exercise Price for a period of 15 consecutive
business days ended immediately prior to the date of such notice. For the
purpose of determining whether the Company may redeem the Warrants, the closing
price per share of Common Stock for each day shall be the last reported sales
price, regular way, or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such day,
the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices, regular way, in either
case, on any exchange (NASDAQ or OTC:BB) on which the Common Stock is listed or
admitted to trading, or, if there is no such representative closing bid on
NASDAQ or XXX.XX on such day, a price determined in any reasonable manner
approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.
If the Company shall elect to redeem the Warrants, notice of
redemption shall be given to the Holders of all outstanding Warrants at least 30
days prior to the date fixed for redemption, to their last addresses as they
shall appear on the warrant register, but failure to give such notice by mail to
the Holder of any Warrant, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity
of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Warrants. The notice shall
state that the Company is redeeming the Warrants at the redemption price of $.01
per Warrant, and the date fixed for redemption; shall state that payment of the
redemption price of the Warrants will be made at the corporate offices of the
Company upon presentation and surrender of such Warrants; shall state that the
right to exercise the Warrants will terminate as provided in this Agreement
(stating the date of such termination); and shall state the Exercise Price. The
date of redemption for the Warrants shall be any date chosen by the Company
which complies with the notice requirement set forth herein. Warrant Holders
shall have the right to exercise the Warrants during this ten (30) day notice
period by complying with the manner of exercise provisions of the Warrant. If a
Warrant Holder does not elect to exercise during this ten (30) day redemption
notice period, the Warrants shall be considered redeemed and cancelled. If the
giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as provided above, and
if funds sufficient for the redemption of the Warrants shall have been deposited
into a separate bank account for such purpose, the right to exercise the
Warrants shall terminate, provided the Warrantholder does not exercise during
the ten (10) day redemption notice period, at the close of business on the
business day preceding the date fixed for redemption, and the Holder of each
Warrant shall thereafter be entitled upon surrender of his Warrant, only to
receive $.01 per Warrant, without interest.
5. Severability. If any part of this Agreement shall be determined to be
illegal, invalid or unenforceable, that part shall be severed from the Agreement
and the remaining parts shall be valid and enforceable.
6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which
shall constitute a duplicate original.
