A.           Purchaser and Hollywood Media are parties to that certain Purchase Agreement dated as of August 21, 2008, as amended (the “Purchase Agreement”);

 

B.           Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Hollywood Media sold, and Purchaser purchased, 100% of the membership interests (collectively, the “Purchased Interest”) in each of HOLLYWOOD.COM, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Totally Hollywood TV, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company;

 

C.           Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.3 of the Purchase Agreement, Purchaser may be obligated to pay Hollywood Media certain Additional Consideration (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) in respect of the Purchased Interest; and

 

D.           Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, in exchange for Purchaser paying Hollywood Media Two Million Nine Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,950,000.00) (the “Buyout Amount”), the Parties desire to terminate the Purchaser’s obligation to pay any Additional Consideration or Earnout Payment (each as defined in the Purchase Agreement).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

(g)          The provisions of Sections 9.3, 9.7 and 9.8(d) and (e) of the Purchase Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, and shall be deemed to be a part of this Agreement as if restated in this Agreement in their entirety.
