STRATEGIC ALLIANCE AGREEMENT
THIS STRATEGIC ALLIANCE AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT"), dated as of November
12, 1996 by and between Interactive Flight Technologies, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("IFT") and Hyatt Ventures, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("HYATT").
W I T N E S S E T H:
-------------------
WHEREAS, IFT is engaged in the development, manufacture, marketing, sale
and distribution of computer-based in-flight entertainment networks (the
"ENTERTAINMENT NETWORK") currently for use primarily by airline passengers,
including a new generation of the Entertainment Network ("IFEN-2") which IFT
desires to market, sell and distribute to airlines and other potential IFT
customers (collectively, "IFT CUSTOMERS");
WHEREAS, Hyatt and certain of its affiliates and designees (the "HYATT
GROUP") have experience, relationships and resources which may be helpful to IFT
in marketing, selling and distributing the IFEN-2 system, together with all of
its updates, upgrades, modifications, enhancements and derivatives (the
"SYSTEM"); and
WHEREAS, IFT and Hyatt have agreed to form a strategic alliance with
respect to the System on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements of the
parties contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as
follows:
ARTICLE I
STRATEGIC ASSISTANCE; INVESTMENT OBLIGATION; WARRANTS
Section 1.1 Hyatt Commitment. During the Alliance Period (as defined
----------------
below), Hyatt, through the Hyatt Group, shall, at the request of IFT, use its
best commercial efforts to assist IFT in advancing IFT's current and future
business with respect to the System, including, without limitation, consulting
with and assisting IFT in (a) development of relationships with international
and U.S. domestic air carriers, (b) negotiation of contractual relationships
with international and U.S. air carriers, (c) development of relationships and
contractual arrangements with non-air carrier potential users of the System, (d)
development of relationships and contractual arrangement with entrepreneurial
and institutional financing sources, (e) development of relationships and
contractual arrangements with service providers and vendors, such as credit card
companies and telecommunications companies and (f) development and
implementation of
marketing programs. Hyatt shall assign at least one person to discharge its
responsibilities under this Section 1.1, which person shall devote that portion
of his time as is reasonably necessary to fulfill Hyatt's obligations under this
Section. IFT agrees that it shall reimburse Hyatt for all reasonable and
documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Hyatt in
connection with the performance of Hyatt's obligations under this Section 1.1;
provided, however, that to the extent any such expenses can be properly
-------- -------
identified as having been incurred in connection with a specific Joint Venture,
such Joint Venture shall reimburse IFT for 100% any amounts previously
reimbursed to Hyatt pursuant to this Section 1.1. Anything to the contrary
herein notwithstanding, in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in
Section 4.7 below), Hyatt may, at its option, terminate its obligations under
this Section 1.1. For the purposes of this Agreement, "ALLIANCE PERIOD" shall
mean the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date either party
delivers written notice (a "TERMINATION NOTICE") terminating the Alliance
Period; provided, however, that a Termination Notice may not be delivered until
-------- -------
the later to occur of (i) the date two years from the date hereof and (ii) the
date on which the Hyatt Group (A) no longer owns equity interests in any of the
Joint Ventures formed pursuant to Sections 2.3 below and (B) owns shares, and
warrants or options to acquire shares, comprising in the aggregate less than 5%
of the issued and outstanding shares of IFT's Class A Common Stock, par value
$0.01 per share (the "CLASS A COMMON STOCK").
Section 1.2 IFT Cooperation. IFT shall use its best commercial efforts to
---------------
cooperate with Hyatt in Hyatt's performance of its obligations pursuant to
Section 1.1 above.
Section 1.3 Investment in IFT. During the period beginning on the date
-----------------
hereof and ending 90 days therefrom, Hyatt (itself or through the Hyatt Group),
shall invest or cause to be invested an aggregate of $1,000,000 in the
acquisition of shares of Class A Common Stock through open market purchases;
provided, however, that Hyatt shall not be obligated to make any such purchase
-------- -------
at a price per share in excess of $14.15.
Section 1.4 Warrants.
--------
(a) Reservation of Warrants. In consideration of Hyatt's willingness
-----------------------
to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, IFT agrees,
subject to the terms of Section 1.4(b) and (c) below, to issue to Hyatt (or
its designees) warrants substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit 1.4 (the "WARRANTS") to acquire up to 1,340,222 shares of Class A
-----------
Common Stock at an exercise price of $9.875 per share, subject to
adjustment in accordance with the antidilution provisions of the Warrants.
IFT agrees to reserve shares of Class A Common Stock to meet its
obligations under the Warrants, and all shares of Class A Common Stock
issued upon exercise of the Warrants shall be duly and validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable, free of any Liens (as defined in Section 5.4
below), not subject to any preemptive rights and shall be listed on any
exchanges on which the Class A Common Stock is then listed.
2
(b) Issuance of Warrants. During the period beginning on the date
--------------------
hereof and ending on the second anniversary of the date hereof (the
"WARRANT VESTING PERIOD"), IFT shall issue one-ninetieth of the Warrants to
Hyatt (or its designees) for each airplane with respect to which IFT or a
Joint Venture (as defined in Section 2.4 below) obtains a binding
commitment from an IFT Customer, other than an Excluded Customer, for the
installation of the System; provided, however, that during the Warrant
-------- -------
Vesting Period, upon the occurrence of any of the events described in
clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 4.3 (Merger; Consolidation; Sale of Assets)
of the Warrants or any distribution described in Section 4.4 (Other
Distributions) of the Warrants, which distribution exceeds 5% of the book
value of IFT, 100% of the Warrants to which Hyatt is entitled under this
Agreement shall become fully vested. For the purposes of this Agreement,
"EXCLUDED CUSTOMER" means (i) Swissair, (ii) Debonair, (iii) Alitalia, (iv)
Petrol Air, (v) Futura Airlines, (vi) Air Europa and (vii) Oasis Airlines.
(c) Term. All Warrants issued in accordance with Section 1.4(b)
----
above, shall expire and shall become void at 5:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on
the fifth anniversary of the date hereof.
ARTICLE II
JOINT INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Section 2.1 Hyatt Investment Option. During the Alliance Period, Hyatt
-----------------------
shall, at its option, have the right (each such right being hereinafter referred
to as an "INVESTMENT OPTION") to invest up to one-third of the financing
required by IFT to effect the installation of the System (a) on the aircraft
fleets of any five IFT Customers in the airline industry, excluding Qantas
Airlines ("QANTAS"), or, if a Joint Venture is not formed with respect to Qantas
on or prior to February 28, 1997, any six IFT Customers in the airline industry
and (b) for two other IFT Customers or opportunities outside of the airline
industry. The Investment Option shall terminate upon termination of the Alliance
Period, except with respect to potential IFT Customers with which IFT is then in
negotiation and in which Hyatt had previously indicated a significant interest
under Section 2.3 below. IFT and Hyatt will use their reasonable best efforts to
agree upon the terms of and to form a Joint Venture with respect to Qantas. The
Investment Option shall not apply to IFT Customers (other than Qantas) which are
contractually obligated to make full payment to IFT within 60 days of completion
of the installation of the System of at least the fully burdened cost of goods
of such System less, the lesser of (x) $20,000,000 and (y) 20% of the fully
----
burdened cost of goods of such System. For purposes of determining "FULLY
BURDENED COST" of goods and/or services, IFT will establish, in consultation
with and subject to the reasonable approval of Hyatt, a method of project
management accounting under which IFT will allocate all costs incurred with
regard to the sales and other activities relating to a JV Customer (whether
incurred before or after the formation of the relevant Joint Venture for such JV
Customer), including, without limitation, out-of-pocket costs, costs of
consultants, subcontractors and advisors, direct labor, material and other costs
(including
3
the cost of warranty service performance), and an allocation of indirect costs,
but excluding (i) R&D costs relating to the design of the System generally (as
opposed to R&D costs relating to design modifications or enhancements undertaken
for a specific project) and (ii) costs of warranty service performance arising
out of or related to System design defects (as opposed to routine part failures
or defects in any JV Customer specific design modifications or enhancements).
Section 2.2 General Procedures. The parties acknowledge that the
------------------
Investment Options are intended to be afforded and exercised in a manner such
that Hyatt shall have as reasonable an opportunity as is practicable (in light
of the circumstances and timing of the specific IFT Customer opportunity) to
participate in negotiations and discussions with potential IFT Customers, to
perform due diligence regarding and evaluations in connection with any proposed
transaction(s) with potential IFT Customers and to exercise the Investment
Option. However, the parties also acknowledge that such opportunities and
rights of Hyatt must be afforded and exercised in such a manner as to permit IFT
to reasonably solicit potential IFT Customers and to conduct negotiations
regarding (and consummate) sales of the System in connection with which Hyatt
does not elect to exercise its Investment Option.
IFT shall use its commercial best efforts to assist Hyatt in Hyatt's due
diligence review and evaluation with respect to the Investment Options. IFT
further agrees to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and its representatives reasonable access to IFT's
personnel and advisors in connection with Hyatt's evaluation of each such
Investment Option.
Section 2.3 Specific Procedures. IFT shall keep Hyatt apprised of all
-------------------
material contacts and discussions with potential IFT Customers to which an
Investment Option may apply. Hyatt agrees to notify IFT in writing as promptly
as is practical of the names of any of the potential IFT Customers with respect
to which Hyatt does not have a significant interest in exercising the Investment
Option. IFT will be free to pursue such potential IFT Customers without being
subject to the Investment Option; provided, however, that if Hyatt determines
-------- -------
thereafter that it has a significant interest in such potential IFT Customer, it
may rescind its earlier indication of lack of interest unless there would be any
material adverse impact on alternative arrangements IFT has made or is then
making in good faith with respect to such potential IFT Customers.
In connection with any potential IFT Customers with respect to which Hyatt
has a significant interest in exercising the Investment Option, IFT and Hyatt
shall use reasonable efforts to share any relevant information which either may
have, with respect to, and with the goal of assisting each other in evaluating
transactions with, potential IFT Customers. At such time as it becomes critical
for IFT (in IFT's reasonable judgment) to establish the financing approach for
any particular IFT Customer to which an Investment Option applies, IFT will
provide Hyatt with a written notice (the "NOTICE") of the amount of financing
which IFT will require in respect of such IFT Customer and the material terms of
the transaction with respect to which such financing is sought. Hyatt may
exercise an Investment Option by written notice to IFT within a reasonable time
(taking into account the needs of IFT and Hyatt) but in any case within 30
business days following receipt of the Notice by Hyatt. If Hyatt exercises an
4
Investment Option with respect to any IFT Customer, it may at the same time
indicate an interest in providing any additional financing that IFT would
otherwise seek from outside parties at arms length terms to be mutually agreed
by the parties in good faith. If Hyatt is not interested in providing such
additional financing or if the parties are unable to reach agreement with
respect to such additional financing after 30 days of good faith negotiation,
then Hyatt shall provide capital only as required by the relevant Investment
Option and IFT will be free to raise any additional financing needed from third
parties. By written notice promptly delivered to IFT, Hyatt may change its
position with respect to the exercise or non-exercise of an Investment Option,
but only (a) in the case of any opportunity with respect to which it has
exercised an Investment Option, if that transaction fails to close in a timely
manner for any reason other than a material breach by Hyatt of its obligation to
fund the applicable Joint Venture (as defined in Section 2.4 below) and to
otherwise use its reasonable efforts to cooperate with IFT in negotiations with
the relevant potential IFT Customer (as contemplated hereby) or if there is a
material adverse change in the opportunity from that understood by the parties
at the time of the exercise by Hyatt of an Investment Option and Hyatt promptly
notifies IFT after learning of such change, or (b) in the case of any
opportunity with respect to which Hyatt failed or elected not to exercise an
Investment Option, to the extent that there would not be a material adverse
impact on alternative arrangements IFT has made or is then making in good faith.
Section 2.4 Formation of Joint Ventures. In the event Hyatt timely
---------------------------
exercises an Investment Option with respect to any IFT Customer (a "JV
CUSTOMER"), IFT and Hyatt (together with any local partners, to the extent
approved in accordance with Section 2.6 below) shall form an entity (each, a
"JOINT VENTURE") relative to (a) the installation of the System in the
applicable JV Customer's fleet with respect to airline customers or (b) other
similar installations and/or deliveries of the System with respect to any non-
airline JV Customers. Each Joint Venture (which the parties currently
anticipate will be organized as a limited liability company, limited partnership
or equivalent entity) will be governed by an agreement (a "JOINT VENTURE
AGREEMENT") acceptable to IFT and Hyatt with terms and provisions substantially
similar to the form of operating agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 2.4. Each
-----------
Joint Venture Agreement shall include, without limitation, provisions regarding
(i) board (or similar governing body) representation in accordance with equity
interests, (ii) tax efficient allocations of profits and losses; (iii) major
decisions which require approval of all IFT and Hyatt (A) board (or similar
governing body) members or (B) equity holders, (iv) procedures for resolution of
deadlocks (v) transfer restrictions, including a right of first refusal, (vi)
drag-along and tag-along rights and (vii) dilution procedures in the event a
participant fails to contribute committed capital.
Section 2.5 Economic Benefits. The parties acknowledge and agree that
-----------------
under certain circumstances approved in advance and in writing by IFT and Hyatt,
it may be necessary or advantageous for IFT (or an IFT affiliate) to enter into
contractual arrangements with one or more JV Customers in lieu or on behalf of a
Joint Venture. Under such circumstances IFT shall accept all of the economic
benefits derived from any such contractual arrangements between IFT (or an IFT
affiliate) and any such JV Customer in trust for the benefit of, and as agent
for, the
5
applicable Joint Venture, and shall take all actions reasonably necessary to
assure that such economic benefits are transferred to and obtained by the Joint
Venture.
Section 2.6 Local Partners. In the event that IFT and Hyatt reasonably
--------------
agree that it is necessary or otherwise desirable in order to operate in a non-
U.S. IFT Customer's principal geographic area or otherwise to facilitate sales
of the System to such IFT Customer to seek the participation of a local partner
(a "LOCAL PARTNER") in a Joint Venture that is formed to do business with a non-
U.S. JV Customer, IFT and Hyatt agree that the interests in the Joint Venture,
after giving effect to the participation of the Local Partner, shall be two-
thirds IFT and one-third Hyatt, respectively.
Section 2.7 Conversion of Hyatt Interests.
-----------------------------
(a) Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.9 below,
----------------
with respect to any Joint Venture, at any time and from time to time
following (i) with respect to airline customers, completion of installation
of the System on all aircraft initially contemplated (either specifically
identified by tail number or otherwise limited by a specified number of
aircraft) at the time of formation of such Joint Venture and (ii) with
respect to non-airline customers, a mutually agreed upon milestone of
similar import to that described in the immediately preceding clause (i),
Hyatt or the relevant member of the Hyatt Group (the "▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇") shall
have the option to convert (each a "CONVERSION OPTION") an amount not less
than 50% (or such lesser portion as is necessary to comply with Section
2.9) of its initial equity interest in such Joint Venture (each an "EQUITY
INTEREST") into that number of shares of Class A Common Stock determined by
dividing (A) the aggregate value of the Equity Interest in the applicable
Joint Venture (as determined in accordance with the terms of Section 2.7(b)
below), by (B) the Current Market Price (as defined in Section 2.7(c)
below) of a share of Class A Common Stock as of the Conversion Date (as
defined in Section 2.8(a) below).
(b) Determination of Joint Venture Value. The aggregate value of the
------------------------------------
Equity Interest in the applicable Joint Venture as of the Conversion Date
shall be determined either (i) by mutual agreement of IFT and the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇
or (ii) absent such agreement within five business days of IFT's receipt of
a Conversion Notice, by a nationally recognized investment banking firm or
nationally recognized valuation firm (in either case, the "APPRAISER"),
based upon the discounted cash flow of the relevant Joint Venture, without
consideration of a minority discount. In the event that IFT and the ▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇ cannot mutually agree on an Appraiser within 10 business days of
IFT's receipt of a Conversion Notice from the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, each of IFT and
the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall submit the names of three proposed Appraisers. Promptly
following submission of the names of the proposed Appraisers, the Appraiser
shall be selected from such names by lottery. Each of IFT and the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇
shall cooperate with the Appraiser. The Appraiser shall submit its
determination within 30 days of its engagement by the parties, which
determination shall be conclusive and binding on IFT and the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇. The
expenses of the Appraiser shall be borne equally by IFT and the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇.
6
(c) For the purposes of this Agreement, "CURRENT MARKET PRICE" of a
share of Class A Common Stock at any date shall be (i) in the event that
the Class A Common Stock is not then being publicly traded in the over-the-
counter market or on a nationally recognized exchange, the fair market
value (which shall not be less than book value) on the date for which such
determination is to be made as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of IFT after consultation with IFT's investment bankers or (ii)
in the event that the Class A Common Stock is then being publicly traded in
the over-the-counter market or on a nationally recognized exchange, the
average of the last reported sale prices per share for the 45 consecutive
Trading Days (as defined below) preceding the date of such computation.
The last reported sale price for each day shall be (A) the last sale price,
or the closing bid price if no sale occurred, of the Class A Common Stock
on the principal securities exchange on which the Class A Common Stock is
listed, (B) if not listed as described in clause (A), the last reported
sale price of the Class A Common Stock on any national stock exchange, if
traded thereon, or on the Automated Quotation System of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASDAQ SYSTEM"), or any
similar system of automated dissemination of quotations of securities
prices then in common use, if so quoted, or (C) if not quoted as described
in clauses (i) or (ii), the mean of the high and low bid quotations for the
Class A Common Stock as reported by the National Quotation Bureau
Incorporated if at least two securities dealers have inserted bid
quotations for the Class A Common Stock on at least five of the ten
preceding days. If the Class A Common Stock is quoted on a national
securities or central market system, in lieu of a market or quotation
system described above, the last reported sale price shall be determined in
the manner set forth in clause (C) of the preceding sentence if bid and
asked quotations are reported but actual transactions are not, and in the
manner set forth in clause (A) of the preceding sentence if actual
transactions are reported. If none of the conditions set forth above is
met, the last reported sale price of the Class A Common Stock on any day or
the average of such last reported sale prices for any period shall be the
fair market value of such class of stock as determined by a member firm of
the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. selected by the IFT. As used herein the
term "TRADING DAYS" means (x) if the Class A Common Stock is quoted on the
NASDAQ System or any similar system of automated dissemination of
quotations of securities prices, days on which trades may be made on such
system, or (y) if not quoted as described in clause (x), days on which
quotations are reported by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated, or
(z) if the Class A Common Stock is listed or admitted for trading on any
national securities exchange, days on which such national securities
exchange is open for business.
Section 2.8 Mechanics of Conversion.
-----------------------
(a) Notice of Conversion. In order to exercise a Conversion Option
--------------------
described in Section 2.7(a) above, the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall deliver to IFT a
written notice (a "CONVERSION NOTICE") including the following information
(i) the name of the relevant Joint Venture, (ii) the percentage of its
Equity Interest that the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ wishes to convert, (ii) the conversion
date, which date shall be a day following the date on which
7
IFT receives the Conversion Notice (the "CONVERSION DATE"), (iv) the ▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ proposed valuation of the Joint Venture (the "PROPOSED VALUATION")
and (v) if calculable based on the chosen Conversion Date, a calculation of
the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ believes it
is entitled to receive upon conversion. Within five business days of IFT's
receipt of a Conversion Notice, IFT will notify the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in writing as
to whether IFT agrees or disagrees with the Proposed Valuation. In the
event IFT disagrees with the Proposed Valuation, the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and IFT
shall within 10 business days of IFT's receipt of the Conversion Notice
agree upon an Appraiser, or if they are unable to agree on an Appraiser,
the Appraiser shall be selected in accordance with Section 2.7(a) above.
(b) Issuance of Shares. Upon the earlier to occur of (i) the
------------------
agreement of IFT with the Proposed Valuation or (ii) the determination of
the aggregate value of the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Equity Interest by the Appraiser,
but subject to delivery by the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of customary representations and
warranties concerning investment intent and compliance with federal and
state securities laws, IFT shall promptly take all actions necessary to
effect the conversion described in the applicable Conversion Notice and
issue and deliver to the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ the applicable number of whole shares of
Class A Common Stock, together with cash in the amount required to pay for
any fractional shares of Class A Common Stock otherwise issuable upon
conversion.
(c) Effective Time of Conversion. Each conversion of Equity Interests
----------------------------
by a ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be deemed to have been effected, and such ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇
shall be deemed to be a shareholder of IFT for all purposes, immediately
prior to the close of business on the date on which all conditions set
forth in Section 2.8(b) are satisfied, and the Persons in whose name(s) any
certificate for shares of Class A Common Stock are issued shall be deemed
to have become the holder(s) of record of the shares of Class A Common
Stock at such time. All shares of Class A Common Stock delivered upon
conversion pursuant to a Conversion Notice, shall be duly and validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free of any Liens (as defined in
Section 6.4 below) and not subject to any preemptive rights.
(d) Company to Reserve Stock. IFT shall at all times following the
------------------------
date hereof use its reasonable best efforts (including, without limitation,
promptly taking such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its
authorized but unissued securities), based on its good faith determination
of the values of the applicable Joint Ventures, to reserve and keep
available for issue upon exercise of Conversion Options such number of its
authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock as will be
sufficient to permit the conversion in full of all outstanding Equity
Interests subject to the Conversion Option, and shall use its reasonable
best efforts to cause all shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon
exercise of Conversion Options to be listed on any exchanges on which the
Class A Common Stock is then listed.
8
(e) Taxes on Conversion. IFT will pay any and all documentary stamp
-------------------
or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or
delivery of shares of Class A Common Stock on a ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ exercise of its
Conversion Option (but excluding taxes arising out of the transfer of
shares by the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇).
(f) Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. In case of any
-----------------------------------------------
reclassification or change of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock
(other than a change in par value, or as a result of a subdivision or
combination), or in case of any consolidation of IFT with, or merger of IFT
with or into, any other entity that results in a reclassification, change,
conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Class A
Common Stock or any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the
assets of IFT, each ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall have the right thereafter to convert
its Equity Interests into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other
property which such ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ would have been entitled to receive upon such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer such ▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇ had held the Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of
the Equity Interests immediately prior to the reclassification, change,
consolidation, merger, sale or transfer.
Section 2.9 Limitation on Conversion Rights. A ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may not
-------------------------------
exercise its rights of conversion under Section 2.7 above if, after giving
effect to a proposed conversion, the aggregate ownership of Class A Common Stock
by Hyatt or the Hyatt Group (exclusive of shares of Class A Common Stock
acquired (a) pursuant to Section 1.3 above, (b) as a result of the exercise of
the Warrants described in Section 1.4 above or (c) acquired in connection with
financing provided by Hyatt pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof) would exceed 20% of
the aggregate number of shares of voting securities of IFT then outstanding,
calculated on a fully diluted basis.
ARTICLE III
TERMS OF SALE TO JOINT VENTURES
Section 3.1 Sales by IFT. IFT shall sell to each Joint Venture and each
------------
Joint Venture shall purchase from IFT such Joint Venture's requirements related
to the System and all goods and services ancillary thereto to be sold,
transferred or provided by each Joint Venture to such Joint Venture's JV
Customer. All such goods and services (including, without limitation, the
System, spare parts, software, hardware, installation, programming and
maintenance) shall be provided to the relevant Joint Venture by IFT at a price
equal to 115% of IFT's fully burdened cost of such goods and services; provided,
--------
however, that such fully burdened cost of goods and services may include, with
-------
respect to a particular JV Customer, costs of research and development required
specifically to address the unique needs of such JV Customer, but shall under no
circumstances include any allocation of or for IFT's costs of general research
and development, regardless of when such costs were incurred. The foregoing
notwithstanding, in the event that a Joint Venture is able to acquire goods
and/or services not comprising the System but related to the operation thereof
on more favorable terms to the Joint Venture than those
9
offered by IFT, the Joint Venture shall so inform IFT. In the event that IFT
promptly is willing to sell such goods and/or services to the Joint Venture on
terms (including delivery schedule) which are equal or are more favorable to the
Joint Venture than the third-party's terms, the Joint Venture will purchase such
goods and services from IFT. Otherwise the Joint Venture will be free to
purchase such goods and/or services from the third party.
Section 3.2 Timing of Payments to IFT. Absent other arrangements made
-------------------------
between IFT and the relevant Joint Venture, each Joint Venture shall remit to
IFT, on a shipset-by-shipset basis, 50% of the cost of initial System
installation 60 days prior to scheduled delivery and installation of the System
to the JV Customer and the remaining 50% upon completion of the delivery and
installation of the System. All payments shall be made against IFT invoices in
immediately available U.S. funds by electronic wire transfer to an account
designated by IFT to each Joint Venture in writing at least three business days
prior to the due date of any amounts due hereunder. All other amounts due from a
Joint Venture to IFT hereunder shall be invoiced by IFT upon delivery of the
goods to the JV Customer or performance of services for the JV Customer, and
paid by the Joint Venture "net 30."
Section 3.3 Further Actions. IFT shall use best commercial efforts to
---------------
assist each Joint Venture to market, sell and distribute the System to its JV
Customer and to provide all services ancillary thereto, including, without
limitation, (a) granting limited licenses with respect to the System to the
Joint Ventures, (b) providing access to IFT marketing, sales, maintenance and
technical support personnel and (c) providing legal, accounting and finance
support, in each case subject to reimbursement by such Joint Venture for 115%
the fully burdened costs of providing such assistance and services as provided
in Section 2.1.
Section 3.4 Representations and Warranties to JV Customers. IFT hereby
----------------------------------------------
agrees that Hyatt and each ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be third-party beneficiaries of, and
shall have no responsibility or liability for any representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements that each Joint Venture (or IFT) is required to make to
each JV Customer in connection with the sale of the System (and performance of
ancillary services with respect thereto) to each JV Customer, other than with
respect to the costs of providing warranty service to JV Customers on account of
routine parts failures or defects or general system maintenance, which costs
shall be borne by the relevant Joint Venture. Further IFT agrees that it shall
indemnify and hold the Hyatt Indemnified Parties (as defined in Section 7.1(b)
below) harmless against any claims made by or through any such JV Customer in
respect of such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements as though
such claims were Third Party Claims (as defined in Section 7.2(b) below). The
foregoing notwithstanding, Hyatt agrees that IFT shall not be required to
indemnify the Hyatt Indemnified Parties on account of Third Party Claims made by
JV Customers for the costs of warranty service associated with routine parts
failures or defects or general System maintenance.
Section 3.5 Invoice Disputes. In the event that there is a dispute
----------------
between IFT and a Joint Venture regarding amounts owed by a Joint Venture to
IFT, the Joint Venture shall pay any undisputed amounts owed by such Joint
Venture to IFT, and with respect to disputed amounts, a representative of IFT
and one of the Hyatt Designees (or a person designated by such
10
Hyatt Designee) on behalf of the Joint Venture shall use their reasonable best
efforts to resolve the dispute promptly. In the event such persons cannot
resolve the dispute with 60 days of the date on which the disputed amount became
past due, the IFT representative and the Hyatt Designee (or his designee) on
behalf of the Joint Venture shall select an arbitrator (the "ARBITRATOR")
pursuant to the Appraiser selection method described in Section 2.7(b) above.
The Arbitrator shall submit its determination within 30 days of its engagement
to resolve the dispute, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on
IFT and the Joint Venture. The expenses of the Arbitrator shall be borne by the
non-prevailing party.

regardless of the manner in which it is furnished, together with any summaries,
extracts, analyses or other documents prepared by Hyatt which contain, reflect
or are generated from such information, regardless of whether explicitly
identified as, or known to Hyatt to be, confidential. However, "Proprietary

The provisions of this Section 4.6 shall survive for a period of two years
following the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement and the

Agreement, (b) in the case of insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or similar
proceeding involving IFT or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, (c) in the
event of a Change of Control (as defined below), or (d) with the approval of a
majority of directors of IFT other than the Hyatt Designees, Hyatt and its
controlled affiliates will not (and will not assist or encourage its affiliates
to), directly or indirectly acquire or agree, offer, seek or propose to acquire,
or cause to be acquired, ownership (including, but not limited to, beneficial
ownership as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

any meeting of IFT stockholders, provided such person is not a holder of Class B
Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "CLASS B COMMON STOCK") as of the

---------------
month period during the Alliance Period, Hyatt may cause its
representatives to perform an audit of the books and records of IFT to
ensure compliance by IFT with the provisions of Sections 2.1 and 3.1
hereof. IFT shall cooperate with Hyatt and its representatives in respect
of any such audit and shall further grant reasonable access to Hyatt and
its representatives to IFT books, records and personnel in connection
therewith. Hyatt agrees to cause its representatives to be bound by the
provisions of Section 4.6 prior to the audit.
(b) Violation of Section 2.1. In the event that the results of an
------------------------
audit demonstrate that with respect to the last sentence of Section 2.1
above, IFT has failed to offer Hyatt an Investment Option, then IFT shall
▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ the option to acquire from IFT that portion of the improperly
excluded transaction which Hyatt would otherwise have been eligible to
acquire at IFT's original cost, less 25%. In the event Hyatt exercises such
option, IFT and Hyatt shall form a Joint Venture as though IFT had properly
offered the IFT Customer to Hyatt as an Investment Option. Under no
circumstances shall a Joint Venture formed pursuant to this Section 4.8(b)
constitute the exercise by Hyatt of an Investment Option for the purposes
of Section 2.1 above.
(c) Violation of Section 3.1. In the event that the results of an
------------------------
audit demonstrate that with respect to the prices set forth in Section 3.1

services, IFT shall promptly remit to the relevant Joint Venture (or such
Joint Venture shall promptly remit to IFT, as applicable) the full amount
of such overcharge or undercharge, together with interest on such amount at
the rate of 10% per annum from the date that the overcharged or
undercharged amount was paid by the Joint Venture to IFT.

IFT in the event that Hyatt is entitled to a remedy under Section 4.8(b) or
the audit reveals discrepancies of more than 5% of the total during the
period which give rise to a remedy under Section 4.8(c).

Agreement, IFT shall grant an aggregate of 250,000 options (the "OPTIONS") to

be in form and substance identical to options granted to other members of the
Board. The shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the Option shall at all
times following the date hereof be covered by an effective registration
statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form). IFT agrees to reserve shares of
Class A Common Stock to meet its obligations under the Options, and all shares

actions taken, or omitted to be taken by IFT in respect of such assistance.

--------------------------------
this Article VIII, IFT hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Hyatt,
the Hyatt Group, the Hyatt Designees and their respective officers,
directors, shareholders, partners, employees, agents, attorneys,
affiliates, successors, predecessors and assigns (collectively, the "HYATT
INDEMNIFIED PARTIES") from and against (i) any and all losses, obligations,
liabilities, damages, claims, deficiencies, costs and expenses (including,
but not limited to, the amount of any settlement entered into pursuant
hereto and all reasonable legal and other expenses incurred in connection
with the investigation, prosecution or defense of the matter but excluding
consequential damages) (collectively "CLAIMS"), which may be asserted
against or sustained or incurred by the Hyatt Indemnified Parties in

breach of any of the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants
made by IFT herein or in any certificate or other document delivered to any

connection with this Agreement; and (ii) any and all costs and expenses
(including, but not limited to, reasonable legal expenses) incurred by any
Hyatt Indemnified Party in connection with the enforcement of its rights
under this Agreement.
Section 7.2 Procedure for Claims.
--------------------
(a) Notice of Claim. Promptly, but in any event within 10 days after
---------------
obtaining knowledge of any claim or demand which may give rise to, or could
reasonably give rise to, a claim for indemnification hereunder (referred to
herein as an "INDEMNIFICATION CLAIM"), Hyatt shall give written notice to
IFT of such Indemnification Claim ("NOTICE OF CLAIM"). A Notice of Claim
shall be given with respect to all Indemnification Claims; provided,
--------
however, that the failure to give a timely Notice of Claim to IFT shall not
-------
relieve IFT from any liability that it may have to the Hyatt Indemnified
Parties hereunder to the extent that IFT is not prejudiced by such failure.
The Notice of Claim shall set forth the amount (or a reasonable estimate)
of the loss, damage or expense suffered, or which may be suffered, by the
Hyatt Indemnified Party
21
as a result of such Indemnification Claim and the aggregate amount of all
Indemnification Claims to date and a brief description of the facts giving
rise to such Indemnification Claim. Hyatt shall furnish to IFT such
information (in reasonable detail) as Hyatt may have with respect to such
Indemnification Claim (including copies of any summons, complaint or other
pleading which may have been served on it and any written claim, demand,
invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same).
(b) Third Party Claims.
------------------
(i) If the claim or demand set forth in the Notice of Claim
is a claim or demand asserted by a third party (a "THIRD PARTY
CLAIM"), IFT shall have fifteen days (or such shorter period (but not
less than ten days) if an answer or other response or filing with
respect to the pleadings served by the third party is required prior
to the fifteenth day) after the date of receipt by IFT of the Notice
of Claim (the "NOTICE DATE") to notify Hyatt in writing of the
election by IFT to defend the Third Party Claim on behalf of the Hyatt
Indemnified Parties.
(ii) If IFT elects to defend a Third Party Claim on behalf
of the Hyatt Indemnified Parties, Hyatt shall make available to IFT
and its agents and representatives all records and other materials in
Hyatt's possession which are reasonably required in the defense of the
Third Party Claim and IFT shall pay any expenses payable in connection
with the defense of the Third Party Claim as they are incurred
(whether incurred by Hyatt or IFT).
(iii) If IFT has assumed control of the defense, IFT may
contest or settle the Third Party Claim on such terms as IFT may
choose, provided that IFT will not have the right, without Hyatt's
-------------
prior written consent, to settle any such claim if such settlement (i)
arises from or is part of any criminal action, suit or proceeding,
(ii) contains a stipulation to, confession of judgment with respect
to, or admission or acknowledgement of, any liability or wrongdoing on
the part of any Hyatt Indemnified Party, (iii) relates to any foreign
federal, state or local tax matters, (iv) provides for injunctive
relief, or other relief other than damages, which is binding on any
Hyatt Indemnified Party, (v) does not fully release all Hyatt
Indemnified Parties with respect to the relevant Third Party Claim or
(vi) has any res judicata or collateral estoppel effect that could be
adverse to any Hyatt Indemnified Party.
(iv) If IFT elects to defend a Third Party Claim, the Hyatt
Indemnified Parties shall have the right to participate in the defense
of the Third Party Claim, at the Hyatt Indemnified Parties' expense
(and without the right to indemnification for such expense under this
Agreement); provided, however, that the reasonable fees and expenses
-------- -------
of counsel retained by the Hyatt Indemnified
22
Parties shall be at the expense of IFT if (A) the use of the counsel
chosen by IFT to represent the Hyatt Indemnified Parties would present
such counsel with a conflict of interest; (B) the parties to such
proceeding include both Hyatt Indemnified Parties and IFT and there
may be legal defenses available to Hyatt Indemnified Parties which are
different from or additional to those available to IFT; (C) within ten
days after being advised by IFT of the identity of counsel to be
retained to represent Hyatt Indemnified Parties, Hyatt shall have
objected to the retention of such counsel for valid reasons (which
shall be stated in a written notice to IFT), and IFT shall not have
retained different counsel reasonably satisfactory to Hyatt; or (iv)
IFT shall authorize the Hyatt Indemnified Parties to retain separate
counsel at the expense of IFT.
(v) If IFT elects to defend a Third Party Claim, and does
not defend a Third Party Claim in good faith, the Hyatt Indemnified
Parties shall have the right, in addition to any other right or remedy
it may have hereunder, at the sole and exclusive expense of IFT, to
defend such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that such expenses
-------- -------
shall be payable by IFT only if and when such Third Party Claim
becomes payable.
(c) Cooperation in Defense. Hyatt shall cooperate with IFT in the
----------------------
defense of Third Party Claims. Subject to the foregoing, (i) the
Hyatt Indemnified Parties shall not have any obligation to participate
in the defense of or to defend any Third Party Claim and (ii) the
Hyatt Indemnified Parties' defense of or its participation in the
defense of any Third Party Claim shall not in any way diminish or
lessen its right to indemnification as provided in this Agreement.
Section 7.3 Indemnification of IFT. Subject to the provisions of this
----------------------
Article VIII, Hyatt agrees to indemnify and hold harmless IFT, its officers,
directors, shareholders, employees, agents, attorneys, affiliates, successors,
predecessors and assigns (collectively, the "IFT INDEMNIFIED PARTIES") from and
against (a) Claims which may be asserted against or sustained or incurred by the
IFT Indemnified Parties in connection with, arising out of, or relating to (i)
any breach or alleged breach of any of the representations, warranties,
agreements and covenants made by Hyatt herein or in any certificate or other
document delivered to IFT by or on behalf of Hyatt in connection with this
Agreement; or (ii) any false, incorrect or misleading representation or warranty
made by or on behalf of Hyatt herein or in any certificate delivered to IFT by
or on behalf of Hyatt in connection with this Agreement and (b) any and all
costs and expenses (including, but, not limited to, reasonable legal expenses)
incurred by the IFT Indemnified Parties in connection with the enforcement of
its rights under this Agreement. The procedures for indemnification of the IFT
Indemnified Parties by Hyatt shall be the same as those set forth in Section
7.2, including the restriction on settling Third Party Claims set forth in
Section 7.2(b)(iii).

--------------------
(or permit any of its respective affiliates to issue or cause) the publication
of any press release or other public announcement with respect to, or otherwise
make any public statement concerning, the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement without the prior consent of the other party, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld, except as may be required by law or regulation or by
obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities
exchange or the NASDAQ National Market System; provided, however, that in the
-------- -------
event such disclosure is so required the disclosing party shall give notice of
such disclosure to the non-disclosing party.
Section 8.4 Headings. The descriptive headings contained in this
--------
Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way
the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
Section 8.5 Severability. If any term or other provision of this
------------
Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any law or
public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall
nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal
substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner
materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other
provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto
shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the
original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in
order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally
contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

-------- -------
assign any or all of its rights and delegate its duties hereunder to any member
of the Hyatt Group.
25
Section 8.8 Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended or

performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party, (b)
waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party
contained herein or in any document delivered by the other party pursuant hereto
or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions of the other
party contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set
forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. Any
waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any
subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a
waiver of any other term or condition, of this Agreement. The failure of any
party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any
of such rights.

STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
THE WARRANTS EVIDENCED HEREBY AND THE SHARES OF STOCK
ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE THEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE
OFFERED OR SOLD WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNLESS AN EXEMPTION
FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE UNDER SUCH ACT OR THE RULES OR
REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER
WARRANT TO PURCHASE ____ SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK
AS DESCRIBED HEREIN
Issue Date: ___________, 199_.
Expiration Date: ___________, 2001.
This certifies that, for value received, _________________, a ________
corporation, and permitted successors and assigns ("HOLDER") is entitled to
purchase from Interactive Flight Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation,
(the "COMPANY") up to and including _______________ fully paid and nonassessable
shares (the "NUMBER OF SHARES") of the Class A Common Stock of the Company, $.01
par value (the "CLASS A COMMON STOCK"), on the terms set forth herein at an
exercise price of $9.875 per share (the "PURCHASE PRICE"). The Number of Shares
and the Purchase Price may be adjusted from time to time as described in this
Warrant.
1. EXERCISE.
--------
1.1 TIME FOR EXERCISE. This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part
-----------------
at any time, and from time to time, during the period commencing on the date of
this Warrant and expiring on ______, 2001.
1.2 MANNER OF EXERCISE. This Warrant shall be exercised by delivering it
------------------
to the Company with the exercise form duly completed and signed, specifying the
number of shares as to which the Warrant is being exercised at that time (the
"EXERCISE NUMBER"). The Holder shall simultaneously deliver to the Company
cash, shares of Common Stock then held by Holder, or a certified check or wire
transfer in an amount equal to the Exercise Number multiplied by the Purchase
Price, and the Holder shall be entitled to receive the full Exercise Number of
shares of Class A Common Stock.
1.3 EFFECTIVE DATE OF EXERCISE. Promptly (but in any case within five (5)
--------------------------
business days) after any exercise, the Company shall deliver to the Holder (i)
duly executed certificates in the name or names specified in the exercise notice
representing the aggregate number of shares issuable upon such exercise, and
(ii) if this Warrant is exercised only in part, a new Warrant of like tenor
exercisable for the balance of the Number of Shares. Such certificates shall be
deemed to have been issued, and the person receiving them shall be deemed to be
a holder of record of such shares, as of the close of business on the date the
actions required in Section 1.2 shall have been completed or, if on that date
the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, as of the next business day.
2. TRANSFER OF WARRANTS AND STOCK.
------------------------------
2.1 TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. Neither this Warrant nor the securities
---------------------
issuable upon its exercise may be sold, transferred or pledged unless the
Company shall have been supplied with reasonably satisfactory evidence that such
transfer is not in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any
applicable state securities laws. The Company may place a legend to that effect
on this Warrant, any replacement Warrant and each certificate representing
shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. Subject to the satisfaction of
this condition only, this Warrant shall be freely transferable by the Holder.
2.2 MANNER OF TRANSFER. Upon delivery of this Warrant to the Company with
------------------
the assignment form duly completed and signed, the Company will promptly (but in
any case within five (5) business days) execute and deliver to each transferee
and, if applicable, the Holder, Warrants of like tenor evidencing the rights (i)
of the transferee(s) to purchase the Number of Shares specified for each in the
assignment forms, and (ii) of the Holder to purchase any untransferred portion,
which in the aggregate shall equal the Number of Shares of the original Warrant.
The Company may decline to proceed with any partial transfer if any new Warrant
would represent the right to purchase fewer than 1,000 shares of Class A Common
Stock (such number to be adjusted as provided in Section 4). If this Warrant
is properly assigned in compliance with this Section 2, it may be exercised by
an assignee without having a new Warrant issued.
2.3 LOSS, DESTRUCTION OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES. Upon receipt of (i)
-----------------------------------------
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of any Warrant and (ii) except in the case of mutilation, an
indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company will
promptly (but in any case within five (5) business days) execute and deliver a
replacement Warrant of like tenor representing the right to purchase the same
Number of Shares.
3. COST OF ISSUANCES. The Company shall pay all expenses, transfer taxes and
-----------------
other charges payable in connection with the preparation, issuance and delivery
of stock certificates or replacement Warrants, except for any transfer tax or
other charge imposed as a result of (a) any issuance of certificates in any name
other than the name of
2
the Holder, or (b) any transfer of the Warrant. The Company shall not be
required to issue or deliver any stock certificate or Warrant until it receives
reasonably satisfactory evidence that any such tax or other charge has been paid
by the Holder.
4. ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS. If any of the following events occur at any time
------------------------
hereafter during the life of this Warrant, then the Purchase Price and the
Number of Shares immediately prior to such event shall be changed as described
in order to prevent dilution:
4.1 DIVIDENDS: STOCK SPLITS ETC.. In case the Company shall (a) pay a
----------------------------
dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common
Stock, (b) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
greater number of shares, (c) combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Number of Shares purchasable
upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so
that the Number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
determined by multiplying the Number of Shares theretofore purchasable upon the
exercise of this Warrant by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately following such action
and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior thereto. Such adjustment shall be made whenever
any event listed above shall occur and shall become effective immediately after
the record date in the case of a dividend and shall become effective immediately
after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or
reclassification. If the Company declares a dividend in money on its Common
Stock and at substantially the same time offers its stockholders a right to
purchase new shares of Common Stock from the proceeds of such dividend, or for
an amount substantially equal to such dividend, all shares of Common Stock so
issued shall for purposes hereof be deemed issued as a stock dividend.
4.2 ISSUANCE OF RIGHTS OR WARRANTS TO HOLDERS. In case the Company shall
-----------------------------------------
issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of its shares of Common Stock
entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date
therefor) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per
share which is lower at the record date mentioned below than the then Current
Market Price per share of Common Stock (as hereinafter defined), the Number of
Shares thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be
determined by multiplying the Number of Shares theretofore purchasable upon
exercise of this Warrant by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number
of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and
of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares which the aggregate
offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered would
purchase at the then Current Market Price per share of Common Stock.
4.3 MERGER; CONSOLIDATION; SALE OF ASSETS. In case of (i) the
-------------------------------------
consolidation or the merger of the Company or (ii) the sale of all or
substantially all of the properties
3
and assets of the Company to any Person, this Warrant shall, after such
consolidation, merger or sale, entitle the Holder to receive upon exercise the
number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) of
the Person resulting from such consolidation or surviving such merger or to
which such sale shall be made, or of the parent of such Person, as the case may
be, which the holder of securities deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant (at
the time of such consolidation, merger or sale) would have been entitled to
receive upon such consolidation, merger or sale; and in any such case the
provisions of Section 4 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of
the holders of Warrants shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable,
as nearly as practicable, to any shares of stock or other securities or any
property (including cash) thereafter deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant.
The Person resulting from such sale or consolidation or surviving such merger or
to which such sale shall be made shall execute and deliver to the Holder a
supplemental agreement as provided in Section 5.5 below. Any adjustment
pursuant to this Section 4.3 which shall be approved in good faith by the Board
of Directors of the Company pursuant to a resolution delivered to the Holder
shall be conclusive for all purposes hereof. For the purposes of this Agreement
"Person" means any individual, partnership, firm, corporation, limited liability
company or partnership, association, trust, unincorporated organization or other
entity, as well as any syndicate or group that would be deemed to be a person
under Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
4.4 OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS. In case the Company shall distribute to all
-------------------
holders of its shares of Common Stock shares of stock other than Common Stock or
evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or
distributions payable out of consolidated earnings or retained earnings and
dividends or distributions referred to in Section 4.1 above) or rights, options
or warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities containing the right to
subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (excluding those referred to in
Section 4.2 above), then in each case the Number of Shares thereafter
purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be determined by multiplying
the Number of Shares theretofore purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant,
by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share
of Common Stock on the record date mentioned below in this Section 4.4, and of
which the denominator shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common
Stock on such record date, less the then fair value (as reasonably determined by
the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith, whose determination shall
be conclusive absent manifest error, irrespective of the accounting treatment
thereof) of the portion of the shares of stock other than Common Stock or assets
or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or of such subscription rights,
options or warrants, or of such convertible or exchangeable securities
applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever
any such distribution is made, and shall become effective immediately after the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
distribution.
4.5 BELOW MARKET ISSUANCES OF COMMON STOCK. Other than pursuant to (a) a
--------------------------------------
public offering of Common Stock in connection with which the Company has engaged
underwriters on a firm commitment or best efforts basis or (b) a sale of Common
Stock
4
to one or more qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), in the event that the
Company shall issue shares of Common Stock (excluding shares issued as a
consequence of any transaction described in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.4 or 4.6) or
issued upon exercise or conversion of, or in exchange for, any securities issued
pursuant to said Sections, for a consideration per share of Common Stock less
than the Current Market Price per share of Class A Common Stock on the date the
Company fixes the offering price of such additional shares, the Purchase Price
shall be adjusted immediately after the issuance of such additional shares so
that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in
effect immediately prior thereto by a fraction the numerator of which shall be
the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
issuance of such additional shares plus the number of shares of Common Stock
which the aggregate consideration received (determined as provided in Section
4.8) for the issuance of such additional shares would purchase at such Current
Market Price per share of Class A Common Stock, and the denominator of which
shall be the number of shares outstanding immediately after the issuance of such
additional shares.
4.6 BELOW MARKET ISSUANCE OF OTHER SECURITIES. Other than pursuant to (a)
-----------------------------------------
a public offering of securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common
Stock in connection with which the Company has engaged underwriters on a firm
commitment or best efforts basis or (b) a sale of Common Stock to one or more
qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act, in
the event that the Company shall issue any securities convertible into or
exchangeable for shares of Common Stock (excluding securities issued in
transaction described in Sections 4.2 and 4.3 above) for an aggregate
consideration (determined as provided in Section 4.8 which, when divided by the
number of shares of Common Stock initially deliverable upon conversion or
exchange of such securities, is less than the Current Market Price per share of
Class A Common Stock in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such
securities, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted immediately thereafter so that
it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect
immediately prior thereto by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance
of such securities plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate
consideration received (determined as provided in Section 4.8 from the issuance
of such securities would purchase at the Current Market Price per share of Class
A Common Stock and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance plus the maximum
number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange
for such securities at the initial conversion or exchange price or rate.
4.7 ADDITIONAL ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE. Whenever the Number of
---------------------------------------
Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as provided
herein, the Purchase Price payable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
adjusted by multiplying such Purchase Price immediately prior to such adjustment
by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the Number of Shares purchasable
upon the exercise of this Warrant
5
immediately prior to such adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the
Number of Shares so purchasable immediately thereafter.
4.8 GUIDELINES FOR COMPUTATIONS. For purposes of any computation
---------------------------
respecting consideration received pursuant to Sections 4.5 and 4.6, the
following shall apply:
(a) in the case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock for cash,
the consideration shall be the amount of such cash, provided that in no
case shall any deduction be made for any commissions, discounts or other
expenses incurred by the Company for any underwriting of the issue or
otherwise in connection therewith;
(b) in the case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock for a
consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other
than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company (irrespective of the
accounting treatment thereof) and described in a Board resolution; and
(c) in the case of the issuance of securities convertible into or
exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, the aggregate consideration
received from the issuance of such securities shall be deemed to be the
consideration received by the Company for the issuance of such securities
plus the additional minimum consideration, if any, to be received by the
Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof (the consideration in each
case to be determined in the same manner as provided in clauses (a) and (b)
above).
4.9 NO DE MINIMIS ADJUSTMENTS. No adjustment in the Purchase Price shall
-------------------------
be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at
least 1% in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason
of this Section 4.9 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and
taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this
Section 4.9 shall be made to the nearest one-twentieth of a cent or to the
nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.
4.10 TREASURY SHARES. For the purpose of Section 4, shares of Common
---------------
Stock or other securities held in the treasury of the Company shall not be
deemed to be outstanding, and the sale or other disposition of any shares of
Common Stock or other securities held in the treasury of the Company shall be
deemed an issuance thereof.
4.11 CORPORATE ACTION. Before taking any action which would cause an
----------------
adjustment reducing the Purchase Price below the then par value, if any, of the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall
take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary
in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Purchase Price.
6
4.12 INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS. The certificate of a "Big Six" firm
------------------------------
of independent public accountants selected by the Board of Directors of the
Company shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of any computation made
under this Section 4.
4.13 NOTICE OF CERTAIN EVENTS. In case at any time prior to the expiration
------------------------
date of this Warrant:
(i) the Company shall authorize the granting to all the holders
of Common Stock of rights to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock
of any class or of any other rights; or
(ii) there shall be any reclassification of the Common Stock of
the Company (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding
Common Stock); or
(iii) there shall be any capital reorganization by the Company;
or
(iv) there shall be a consolidation or merger involving the
Company or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's property and
assets (except a merger or other reorganization in which the Company shall
be the surviving corporation or a consolidation, merger or sale with a
wholly-owned subsidiary); or
(v) there shall be voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation and winding up by the Company or dividend or distribution to
holders of Common Stock (other than the Company's customary cash and stock
dividends);
then in any one or more of said cases, the Company shall cause to be delivered
to the Holder, at the earliest practicable time (and, in any event, not less
than 25 days before any record date or other date set for definitive action),
notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record
shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights or such
reorganization, sale, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up shall take place, as the case may be. Such notice shall also set forth such
facts as shall indicate the effect of such action (to the extent such effect may
be known at the date of such notice) on the Purchase Price and the kind and
amount of the shares of stock and other securities and property deliverable upon
exercise of the Warrants. Such notice shall also specify the date, if known, as
of which the holders of record of the Common Stock shall participate in said
dividend, distribution or subscription rights or shall be entitled to exchange
their shares of the Common Stock for securities or other property (including
cash) deliverable upon such reorganization, sale, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as the case may be (on which date, in
the event of voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of
the Company, other than dissolution, liquidation or winding up following a
7
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into, or sale of substantially
all of its assets to, another corporation, the rights to exercise this Warrant
shall terminate).
4.14 EXERCISE OF EXISTING RIGHTS. The Number of Shares shall be increased
---------------------------
from time to time by 11.111% of the number of shares issued upon exercise of the
Company's presently outstanding warrants, Unit Purchase Options, or stock
options. The Number of Shares shall be reduced from time to time by 11.111% of
the number of shares of Class B Common Stock which are returned to Company and
placed in its treasury under Section 4(f) of the Restated Escrow Agreement,
dated as of November 30, 1994 (as amended by the Amended Escrow Agreement dated
as of February 29, 1996), among the Company and certain holders of Class B
Common Stock; provided, however, that any such reduction arising with respect to
--------
Class B Common Stock beneficially held by any particular holder shall be offset
by 11.111% of the number shares issued upon exercise of any stock options,
warrants or other similar rights hereafter granted by the Company to such
holder. The Purchase Price shall not be affected by this Section 4.14.
4.15 OTHER SECURITIES ADJUSTMENTS. If as a result of this Section 4, a
----------------------------
Holder is entitled to receive any securities other than Class A Common Stock
upon exercise of this Warrant, the number and purchase price of such securities
shall thereafter be adjusted from time to time in the same manner as provided
pursuant to this Section 4 for Class A Common Stock. The allocation of
purchase price between various securities shall be made in writing by the Board
of Directors of the Company in good faith at the time of the event by which the
Holder became entitled to receive new securities, and a copy sent to the Holder.
4.16 NOTICES OF ADJUSTMENTS. When any adjustment is required to be made
----------------------
under this Section 4, the Company shall promptly (i) determine such
adjustments, (ii) prepare and retain on file a statement describing in
reasonable detail the method used in arriving at the adjustment; and (iii) cause
a copy of such statement, together with any agreement required by Section 5.5,
to be mailed to the Holder within 10 days after the date on which the
circumstances giving rise to such adjustment occurred.
4.17 COMPUTATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS. Upon each computation of an adjustment
----------------------------
under this Section 4, the Purchase Price shall be computed to the nearest cent
and the Number of Shares shall be calculated to the next highest whole share.
However, the fractional amount shall be used in calculating any future
adjustments. No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock shall be issued in
connection with the exercise of this Warrant, but the Company shall, in the case
of the final exercise under this Warrant, make a cash payment for any fractional
shares based on the Current Market Price of the Class A Common Stock on the date
of exercise. Notwithstanding any changes in the Purchase Price or the Number of
Shares, this Warrant, and any Warrants issued in replacement or upon transfer
thereof, may continue to state the initial Purchase Price and the Number of
Shares. Alternatively, the Company may elect to issue a new Warrant or Warrants
of like tenor for the additional shares of Class A Common Stock purchasable
8
hereunder or, upon surrender of the existing Warrant, to issue a replacement
Warrant evidencing all the Warrants to which the Holder is entitled after such
adjustments.
4.18 EXERCISE BEFORE PAYMENT DATE. In the event that this Warrant is
----------------------------
exercised after the record date for any event requiring an adjustment, but prior
to the actual event, the Company may elect to defer the adjusted amount to the
Holder until the actual event occurs; provided, however, that the Company shall
deliver a Due ▇▇▇▇ or other appropriate instrument to the Holder transferrable
to the same extent as the other Securities issuable on exercise evidencing the
Holder's right to receive such additional amount upon the occurrence of the
event requiring such adjustment.
4.19 CURRENT MARKET PRICE. "CURRENT MARKET PRICE" for the Class A Common
--------------------
Stock on any given date means (i) the average closing price for the prior ten
trading days for the Class A Common Stock on the principal stock exchange on
which the Class A Common Stock is traded or (ii) if not so traded, the closing
price (or, if no closing price is available, the average of the bid and asked
prices) for such period on the NASDAQ if the Class A Common Stock is listed on
the NASDAQ or (iii) if not listed on any exchange or quoted on the NASDAQ, such
value as may be determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors,
which determination shall be conclusively binding on the parties.
5. COVENANTS. The Company agrees that:
---------
5.1 RESERVATION OF STOCK. During the period in which this Warrant may be
--------------------
exercised, the Company will reserve sufficient authorized but unissued
securities to enable it to satisfy its obligations on exercise of this Warrant
and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause all shares of Class A Common
Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant to be listed on any exchanges on
which the Class A Common Stock is then listed. If at any time the Company's
authorized securities shall not be sufficient to allow the exercise of this
Warrant, the Company shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to
increase its authorized but unissued securities to be sufficient for such
purpose;
5.2 NO LIENS, ETC. All securities that may be issued upon exercise of
-------------
this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable
and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof,
and shall be listed on any exchanges on which that class of securities is
listed;
5.3 FURNISH INFORMATION. The Company will promptly deliver to the Holder
-------------------
copies of all financial statements, reports and proxy statements which the
Company shall have sent to its stockholders generally; and
5.4 STOCK AND WARRANT TRANSFER BOOKS. Except upon dissolution,
--------------------------------
liquidation or winding up or for ordinary holidays and weekends, the Company
will not at any time close its stock or warrant transfer books so as to result
in preventing or delaying the exercise or transfer of this Warrant.
9
5.5 MERGER; CONSOLIDATION OR SALE OF ASSETS OF THE COMPANY. Except in the
------------------------------------------------------
case of a merger or consolidation where the consideration is payable entirely in
cash or obligations, the Company will not merge or consolidate with or into any
Person, or sell or otherwise transfer its property, assets and business
substantially as an entirety to a successor Person, unless the Person resulting
from such merger or consolidation (if not the Company), or such successor
Person, shall expressly assume, by supplemental agreement reasonably
satisfactory in form to the then Majority Holders and executed and delivered to
the Holders, the due and punctual performance and observance of each and every
covenant and condition of this Agreement to be performed and observed by the
Company. "MAJORITY HOLDERS", as of any date, shall mean holders of warrants

this Agreement, if a Member (for purposes of this Section 9.2, "Seller")
desires to effect the sale of all (but not less than all) of its Membership
Interest for cash and receives a written offer (the "OFFER") from a Bona
Fide Purchaser, Seller shall, at least 90 days prior to the proposed sale,
(i) notify the other Member(s) (the "OTHER MEMBER(S)") of its intention to

shall have the right to purchase Seller's entire Membership Interest at the
same price and on the same terms as contained in the Transfer Notice (the
"RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL"). The Other Member must exercise its Right of
First Refusal, if at all, by giving notice of exercise (the "PURCHASE
NOTICE") to the Seller within 30 days after delivery of the Transfer
Notice, and such sale shall be consummated on the date on which the sale
would otherwise have been consummated pursuant to the offer subject to the
making of any filings with, and receipt of, all governmental consents and
approvals.
(c) Tag-Along Right. The Other Member(s), in lieu of delivering the
---------------
Purchase Notice, may exercise the option to sell its entire Membership
Interest to the Bona Fide Purchaser (the "TAG-ALONG RIGHT") on the same
terms, conditions and price (mathematically adjusted to reflect differing
Membership Percentages) as set forth in the Transfer Notice by giving
Seller notice (the "TAG-ALONG NOTICE") within 30 days after the transmittal
of a copy of the Transfer Notice. Delivery of the Tag-Along Notice shall
constitute a binding agreement by the Other Member(s) to sell its entire
Membership Interest to the Bona Fide Purchaser, on the same terms and
conditions specified in the Transfer Notice.
(d) Bring-Along Right. In the event the Seller has delivered the
-----------------
Bring-Along Notice as part of the Transfer Notice and the Other Member(s)
has not exercised its Right of First Refusal or Tag-Along Right, the Other
Member(s) shall be required to sell its entire Membership Interest to the
Bona Fide Purchaser on the same terms and conditions and at the same price
(mathematically adjusted
to reflect differing Membership Percentages) as set forth in the Transfer
Notice simultaneously with the sale of the Seller's interest to the Bona
Fide Purchaser.
(e) Consummation of Purchase.
------------------------
(i) If the Other Member(s) fails to exercise its Right of First
Refusal, then the Seller may sell its Membership Interest on the terms
specified in the Transfer Notice, provided (A) if the Other Member has
exercised its Tag-Along Right or Seller has exercised its Drag Along Right,
the Other Member shall participate in such sale as provided in Section
9.2(c) or (d), as the case may be; and (B) such sale is consummated no
later than the later to occur of (x) the date set forth for closing in the
Transfer Notice; or (y) 90 days after delivery of the Transfer Notice. If
the sale is not consummated within the period of time specified in the
preceding sentence, then no sale may be consummated with respect to any
portion of the Seller's Membership Interest except upon compliance again
with the provisions of this Section 9.2 to the extent this Section 9.2
would otherwise be applicable.
(ii) If the Other Member(s) exercises its Right of First Refusal,
Seller shall sell and the Other Member(s) shall purchase the Seller's
entire Membership Interest pursuant to the terms set forth in the Transfer
Notice on the date on which the sale would otherwise have been consummated
pursuant to the offer.
(iii) Any closing hereunder shall take place at the principal offices
of the Company or such other place as is specified in the Transfer Notice
if the purchaser is the Bona Fide Purchaser.
(iv) The parties hereto shall deliver such instruments and other
documentation as may be reasonably required to effect the transfers

-----------
Interest shall be Transferred in accordance with the provisions of this Article

substituted Member hereunder. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the
Company in connection with any Transfer, and, if applicable, the admission of a
Person as a substituted Member, shall be paid by the Transferring Member. If
any Membership Interest is Transferred other than in accordance with the
provisions hereof and the transferee is not admitted as a substituted Member,
such transferee shall be deemed a mere assignee of profits only without any
right, power or authority of a Member hereunder and shall bear
losses in the same manner as its predecessor in interest; the transferor of such
interest shall thereafter be considered to have no further rights or interest in
the Company with respect to the interest Transferred, but shall nonetheless be
subject to its obligations under this Agreement with respect to such interest.
Upon admission of a transferee as a substituted Member, the transferor shall
withdraw from the Company, and be relieved of any corresponding obligations, to
the extent of its Transferred Membership Interest.
9.4 DEADLOCK. If, after making a good faith effort, the Members have
--------
failed to agree on any of the matters which, in the reasonable opinion of
Investor, could have a material adverse impact on the Company (a "DEADLOCK"),
IFT shall, after receipt of a written notice from Investor that it desires to
have its Membership Interest purchased, purchase Investor's entire Membership
Interest at a price equal to the appraised value thereof, such value to be
determined pursuant to Section 2.6(b) of the Alliance Agreement; provided,
however, that Investor may withdraw its notice within five days after the
determination of appraised value, and in such event, the issue or issues which
were the subject of the Deadlock shall be decided in favor of EFT. The purchase
price shall be payable by IFT, at its election, either entirely in cash or one-
third in cash and two-thirds in a promissory note in the form of Exhibit 9.4
-----------
attached hereto. The unpaid principal amount of said note shall bear interest
at the Prime Rate plus 2% per annum with the principal and accrued interest
being due eighteen months after delivery of the note. Any portion of such
principal amount and accrued interest shall be prepayable without penalty at any
time at the election of IFT. The note shall be secured by the assets of the
Company, and if the Company is dissolved as a result of the purchase of the
Investor's Membership's Interest or otherwise, such assets may be distributed to
IFT, but shall continue to be subject to the security interest. The closing of
the sale of Investor's Membership Interest and this Section 9.4 shall take place
forty-five Business Days after the determination of the value of the Membership
Interest.
9.5 NO RESIGNATION OR RETIREMENT. Each Member agrees that it will not
----------------------------
voluntarily resign or retire from the Company, except in connection with a
permitted Transfer as provided in Article IX. Any Member who resigns or retires
from the Company in contravention of this Agreement will be liable to the
Company for any damages occasioned by such resignation or retirement and, in
addition to any remedies the Company may have at law or in equity, the Company
may offset against any amounts it may owe to such resigning or retiring Member
(in connection with a distribution or otherwise) any such damages occasioned by
such resignation or retirement. Any Member who attempts to resign or retire
from the Company in contravention of this Section shall no longer be entitled to
vote his or its Membership Interest.

regard to this sentence or the preceding two sentences) and otherwise as
required hereunder. The trust shall be terminated as soon as possible after the
trust property is distributed to the beneficiaries thereof.
