Exhibit 10.1
PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") is made and
entered into as of the 1st day of March, 2000, by and between GLOBAL LEISURE
TRAVEL, INC., a Washington corporation (the "Company"), AVIATION GROUP, INC., a
Texas corporation (the "Investor"), and each of the shareholders of the Company
(the "Shareholders").
1. AUTHORIZATION AND SALE OF THE SHARES; OTHER AGREEMENTS.
1.1 Authorization of the Shares. The Company shall, as of the Closing
(as defined below), adopt and file with the Secretary of State of the State of
Washington, the Certificate of Designation (the "Certificate"), substantially in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A so as to establish and designate 1,500,000
shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the "Series B Stock") having the rights,
restrictions, privileges, redemption rights and preferences, as set forth in the
Certificate.
1.2 Sale of the Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
Investor agrees to purchase at the Initial Closing (as defined below), and the
Company agrees to sell and issue to the Investor at the Initial Closing, 200,000
shares of the Series B Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000.
The purchase price represents $10.00 per share (the "Per Share Price").
1.3 Additional Sales of Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, the Investor agrees to purchase at one or more Subsequent Closings (as
defined below), and the Company agrees to sell and issue to the Investor at such
Subsequent Closing, additional shares of the Series B Stock at a purchase price
per share equal to the Per Share Price. Such purchases shall occur from time to
time when the Investor and the Company mutually agree that additional funds are
needed by the Company to pay its matured indebtedness or to fund its
operations, but only to the extent additional funds are made available to the
Investor by Travelbyus under the Travelbyus Agreement or by the Bridge Financing
(as defined below). The maximum aggregate purchase price payable by the
Investor for all Series B Stock purchased under this Agreement, (i) using cash
proceeds from the purchase by Travelbyus of Investor Stock, shall in no event
exceed $10,000,000 and (ii) using cash proceeds from purchases of Investor Stock
in the Bridge Financing, shall in no event exceed $15,000,000.
1.4 Xxxxxxxxxx.xxx, Ltd. Agreement.
(a) In connection with this Agreement, the Investor is entering into a
preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Travelbyus Agreement") with
Xxxxxxxxxx.xxx, Ltd., an Ontario corporation ("Travelbyus"), pursuant to which
Travelbyus is purchasing shares of Investor's Series B Preferred Stock (the
"Investor Stock"). The parties hereto acknowledge that the Company is in need of
funds to finance repayment of matured debt and for working capital purposes. It
is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that the proceeds of sale by the
Investor
of the Investor Stock will be used to purchase the Series B Stock, except to the
extent of $500,000 thereof which Investor may retain for use in accordance with
the requirements of the Travelbyus Agreement. Accordingly, the Initial Closing
of this Agreement is conditioned on, and will occur simultaneously with, the
initial consummation under the Travelbyus Agreement.
(b) The parties hereto agree that the Series B Stock purchased at the
Initial Closing by the Investor will represent a control voting equity position
in the Company so that the Investor will be able thereafter to elect all of the
Board of Directors of the Company and to fully approve the Merger (as defined
below) for the shareholders of the Company. The Company, the Shareholders and
the Investor agree that the sole directors of the Company following the Initial
Closing shall be Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxx Xxxxxx, and the Shareholders
and the Investor agree to vote or execute consents with respect to their shares
of Common Stock and Series B Stock to so elect such directors from time to time.
1.5 Planned Merger of the Investor and the Company.
(a) The Company and the Shareholders understand and agree that this
Agreement is the first step in the acquisition by the Investor of 100% of the
equity ownership in the Company and all of the Company's outstanding corporate
indebtedness. The parties hereto are in the process of negotiating an Agreement
and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to which a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Investor will merge with and into the Company ("Merger").
Because of the Investor's pressing need for capital, however, the Company and
the Investor have been unable to complete such negotiations. Pursuant to the
terms of the Merger, the Investor will issue to the holders of all of the
Company's outstanding Common Stock and rights to purchase Common Stock in full
cancellation of such Common Stock and rights, warrants (the "Equity Warrants")
to purchase 3.5 million shares of common stock of the Investor (the "Investor
Common Stock"). Notwithstanding the fact that the Merger may become effective,
the issuance of the Equity Warrants will be subject to the amendment of
Investor's articles of incorporation to increase its authorized number of
shares of Investor Common Stock to such amount as may be necessary to permit the
issuance of the Equity Warrants by the Investor, after taking into account all
of the other transactions contemplated by the parties hereto and Travelbyus.
The Shareholders acknowledge that the Equity Warrants will be the sole
consideration received by them in the Merger for their shares of outstanding
Common Stock and rights to purchase Common Stock. The Company, the Shareholders
and the Investor agree to negotiate in good faith the terms of the Merger
Agreement and to use reasonable efforts to execute the Merger Agreement and
consummate the Merger as soon as practicable but in no event later than March
10, 2000.
(b) The consummation of the Merger will be conditioned on the simultaneous
exchange of the then outstanding corporate indebtedness of the Company by the
holders thereof for the issuance by the Investor to the holders of such
indebtedness of (a) shares of the Investor's Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") with an initial aggregate liquidation
preference equal to the principal amount of such indebtedness (the "Principal
Amount") and (b) warrants (the "Exchange Warrants") to purchase 750,000 shares
of Investor Common Stock. The terms of the Equity Warrants and the Exchange
Warrants are set forth in more detail on Exhibit B attached hereto. The terms
of the Series A Preferred Stock are set forth
2
in more detail on Exhibit C attached hereto. The Company and the Shareholders
agree to cooperate to facilitate the negotiation and execution of an appropriate
exchange agreement between the Investor and the holders of the Company's
indebtedness so that the exchange transaction can be consummated as soon as
practicable but no later than the consummation of the Merger.
(c) Each Shareholder will vote or cause to be voted (including by written
consent, if applicable) all of such Shareholder's shares of Common Stock in
favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement and against any action which is
intended or could reasonably be expected to hinder, delay or result in the
failure of the Merger to occur. In addition, each Shareholder will vote or
cause to be voted (including by written consent, if applicable) all of such
Shareholder's shares of Common Stock in favor of election to the Board of
Directors of the Company any nominees for director designated by the Investor.
1.6 Bridge Financing.
(a) Subject to the execution of definitive subscription documents
reasonably acceptable to Investor, Xxxxxx Capital Management ("DCM"), together
with other broker/dealers selected by DCM with the concurrence of Travelbyus and
the Company in compliance with applicable securities laws, will be using its
commercially reasonable best efforts to sell up to US $15,000,000 of Investor
Stock and US $3,000,000 of Investor Common Stock to further finance the Merger,
the Travelbyus Merger, Global's operations and the Investor. To the extent the
amount of new cash proceeds from such Bridge Financing exceeds the aggregate
liquidation preference of any Investor Stock held by Travelbyus, such excess
will be used to redeem outstanding Investor Stock from Travelbyus at a per share
redemption price equal to the Per Share Price. Except as set forth in the
immediately preceding sentence, the Bridge Financing may also be effected by the
transfer by the holders of existing indebtedness of the Company of such
indebtedness to the Investor, in which case any guarantees of such indebtedness
shall be released by Investor. The purchasers of the Investor Stock in the
Bridge Financing, whether by cash or by transfer of existing indebtedness of the
Company, shall be issued by the Investor warrants (the "Bridge Warrants") to
purchase 750,000 shares of Investor Common Stock for each US $100,000 in
liquidation preference of the Investor Stock. The Bridge Warrants will be
transferable only with the Investor Stock prior to closing of the Travelbyus
Merger.
(b) Subject to and solely upon the consummation of at least US $7,500,000
in new cash proceeds from the Bridge Financing to be arranged by DCM, the
proceeds of such financing will be used by the Investor to purchase additional
shares of Series B Stock under this Agreement. The proceeds of such sale shall
be used by the Company to repay the remaining institutional indebtedness of the
Company due March 31, 2000 in the approximate amount of US $7,500,000 as more
particularly described on Schedule 3.12 of the Company Schedules. In the event
insufficient proceeds of the Bridge Financing are raised, the Company and
Shareholders shall use commercially reasonably efforts to cause the remaining
portion of such US $7,500,000 of institutional indebtedness to be transferred
to the Investor in exchange for issuance by Investor of additional Investor
Stock and Bridge Warrants, in which case any guarantees of such indebtedness
shall be released by the Investor.

LEISURE TRAVEL, INC., a Washington corporation (the "Company"), AVIATION GROUP,
INC., a Texas corporation (the "Investor"), Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, an individual,
and Xxxx X. El-Batrawi, an individual (together with Xx. Xxxxxxx, the
"Principals"), and GLOBAL LEISURE, INC., a Washington corporation ("GLI") and
GENESIS DIVERSIFIED INVESTMENTS, INC., a Florida corporation ("GDI", and
together with GLI, the "Shareholders").
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Company, the Investor and the Principals have previously entered
into that certain Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2000
(the "Purchase Agreement");
WHEREAS, contrary to the representations set forth in the Purchase Agreement,
the Shareholders, and not the Principals, directly own all of the issued and
outstanding common stock of the Company;
WHEREAS, the parties to the Purchase Agreement intended for the Shareholders
of the Company to be parties to the Purchase Agreement rather than the
individual Principals; and
WHEREAS, the Company, the Investor, the Principals and the Shareholders now
desire to make the Shareholders parties to the Purchase Agreement in place of
the Principals and to amend the Purchase Agreement as set forth below.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties and
covenants herein contained, and on the terms and subject to the conditions
herein set forth, the parties agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used
herein shall have the meanings, if any, assigned to them in the Purchase
Agreement.

(a) The term "Shareholders" used in the Purchase Agreement is hereby
amended to mean Global Leisure, Inc., a Washington corporation, and Genesis
Diversified Investments, Inc., a Florida corporation.
(b) The term "Company" used in the Purchase Agreement is hereby
amended to include all of the Company's subsidiaries set forth on Schedule 3.3
of the Company Schedules for purposes of Sections 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12,
3.13, 3.15, 3.18, 3.19, 3.20, 3.22, 3.23, 3.24 and 3.25 of the Purchase
Agreement.

indebtedness. The parties hereto are in the process of negotiating an Agreement
and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to which a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Investor will merge with and into the Company ("Merger").
Because of the Investor's pressing need for capital, however, the Company and
the Investor have been unable to complete such negotiations. Pursuant to the
terms of the Merger, the Investor will issue to the holders of all of the
Company's rights to purchase Common Stock in full cancellation of such rights,
warrants (the "Debt Warrants") to purchase 3.5 million shares of common stock of
the Investor (the "Investor Common Stock"). Notwithstanding the fact that the
Merger may become effective, the issuance of the Debt Warrants will be subject
to the amendment of Investor's articles of incorporation to increase its
authorized number of shares of Investor Common Stock to such amount as may be
necessary to permit the issuance of the Debt Warrants by the Investor, after
taking into account all of the other transactions contemplated by the parties
hereto and Travelbyus. The Shareholders acknowledge that the Debt Warrants will
be the sole consideration received by them in the Merger for their shares of
outstanding Common Stock and rights to purchase Common Stock. The Company, the
Shareholders and the Investor agree to negotiate in good faith the terms of the
Merger Agreement and to use reasonable efforts to execute the Merger Agreement
and consummate the Merger as soon as practicable but in no event later than
April 7, 2000."
(g) Section 1.5(b) of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety to read as follows:
"(b) The consummation of the Merger will be conditioned on the
simultaneous exchange of the then outstanding corporate indebtedness and Common
Stock of the Company by the holders thereof for the issuance by the Investor to
the holders of such indebtedness and Common Stock of (a) shares of the
Investor's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock")
with an initial aggregate liquidation preference equal to the principal amount
of such indebtedness (the "Principal Amount") and (b) warrants (the "Exchange
Warrants") to purchase 750,000 shares of Investor Common Stock. The Exchange
Warrants shall be issued as follows: warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of
Investor Common Stock shall be issued to Genesis Diversified Investments, Inc.,
or its nominee, and warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of Investor Common Stock
shall be issued to Global Leisure, Inc., or its nominee. The terms of
4
the Debt Warrants and the Exchange Warrants are set forth in more detail on
Exhibit B attached hereto. The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock are set
forth in more detail on Exhibit C attached hereto. The Company and the
Shareholders agree to cooperate to facilitate the negotiation and execution of
an appropriate exchange agreement between the Investor and the holders of the
Company's indebtedness so that the exchange transaction can be consummated as
soon as practicable but no later than the consummation of the Merger."

the phrase "Except as listed in Schedule 3.9" at the beginning of the text of
Section 3.9.

changing the reference to Schedule 3.23 of the Company Schedules to Schedule
3.22.
(m) Section 3.23 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by

restated in its entirety to read as follows:

obligations hereunder. The Company and the Shareholders may not assign their
