Guarantee of Stock Value.
Price Guarantee. Purchaser guarantees that Seller will receive a minimum
of $225,000, net after all commissions, or Fifty Cents ($.50) cash per share
net to Seller (the "Guaranteed Price"), on the 450,000 shares of IMS stock
(the "Guaranteed Shares") that Seller is accepting under this Agreement. To
secure this guarantee, Purchaser agrees to the following:
A. Right to Redeem. Beginning September 1, 2006, Seller may require
Purchaser to buy back up to 50,000 of the Guaranteed Shares per
calendar 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 Purchaser to
purchase 100,000 Guaranteed Shares at a price of $50,000 net to Seller.
B. Release of Purchaser's Obligations - Market Conditions. In the event
that at any time beginning one year after the closing date the
Purchaser's stock is trading in the public market above sixty cents
($.60) per share and average daily trading volume for the Purchaser's
stock for 20 consecutive trading days is greater than 30,000 shares,
and if Seller is eligible to sell shares under Rule 144, Purchaser
shall have the right to give written notice to Seller of such
circumstance and to require that Seller elect either: (i) to sell
50,000 of the Guaranteed Shares into the market, (ii) to allow
Purchaser to redeem such 50,000 Guaranteed Shares at the Guaranteed
Price, or (iii) to retain such 50,000 Guaranteed Shares for investment,
in which case Purchaser shall be relieved of $25,000 of its obligations
under this guarantee of stock value. Seller shall notify Purchaser in
writing of its election hereunder within ten days following receipt of
Purchaser's written notice. If Seller shall fail to give such written
notice, Seller shall be deemed to have elected to retain 50,000
Guaranteed Shares for investment pursuant to clause (iii) above.
The price guarantee will be considered as satisfied at such time as
Seller has received a total of $225,000 through any of the options
described in Points 4.B.i,ii and iii above: from IMS's payments,
and/or net proceeds from the sale of stock, and/or Seller selecting
to retain shares for investment, or any combination thereof. In such
event, all of Purchaser's obligations under the price guarantee will
have been fulfilled.
5. Liabilities. IMS shall not be considered a successor corporation of UTN
and will not be responsible for any UTN liabilities not specifically
included in this Agreement.
6. Default. In the event of a default hereunder, Purchaser shall pay all
of Seller's legal fees and other costs of collection.
