RECITALS:


A.             Parent, Merger Sub, SpeedFC, Inc., a Delaware corporation, the SFC Equityholders and the Equityholder Representative previously entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 27, 2012 (the “Original Merger Agreement”), as amended pursuant to that certain Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 29, 2012 (the “First Amendment” and collectively with the Original Merger Agreement, the “Merger Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the Merger Agreement. The parties hereto desire to modify the terms of the Merger Agreement pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof.


B.             Parent has prepared and delivered to the Equityholder Representative the Parent’s Adjusted EBITDA Report, setting the 2012 Adjusted EBITDA at Seven Million Nine Hundred Eighty-Nine Thousand Five Hundred Twelve and 00/100 Dollars ($7,989,512.00) (“Proposed 2012 Adjusted EBITDA Calculation”), and the Equityholder Representative and the SFC Equityholders have agreed to accept the Parent’s Adjusted EBITDA Report, along with the Proposed 2012 Adjusted EBITDA Calculation, as final. In connection with the foregoing, the Parent and Merger Sub have agreed to an early release of a portion of the Escrow Payments.


C.             Pursuant to Section 11.01 of the Merger Agreement, the Equityholder Representative has been granted authority by each SFC Equityholder to execute and deliver amendments to the Merger Agreement. This Second Amendment shall be effective as of the date first set forth above.


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and mutuality of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:


1.              The parties hereto agree, for purposes of Section 2.07 of the Merger Agreement, that the 2012 Adjusted EBITDA of the Company, the Subsidiary, and the Surviving Corporation, collectively equals Seven Million Nine Hundred Eighty-Nine Thousand Five Hundred Twelve and 00/100 Dollars ($7,989,512.00). As a result, no Earn Out Shares shall be issued to the SFC Equityholders, beyond those Earn Out Shares issued to the SFC Equityholders prior to the effective date of this Second Amendment. The parties agree that the amount of the Issued Earn Out Shares and the amount of the Aggregate Earn Out Shares is the same, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.07(e), and that no issuance of additional Earn Out Shares, or returns or cancellations of Issued Earn Out Shares pursuant to Section 2.07(a) shall occur. By signing this Second Amendment, the Parent, the Equityholder Representative and the SFC Equityholders hereby accept Parent’s Adjusted EBITDA Report and the Proposed 2012 Adjusted EBITDA Calculation set forth therein.

 

 

 
 

 

 

 

2.             The parties agree, for purposes of Section 2.08 of the Merger Agreement, the Closing Working Capital Report, attached hereto as Exhibit A, shall be final, and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto. Accordingly, the parties agree that the Closing Net Working Capital is less than the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, and as a result, the SFC Equityholders owe the Parent the amount of Eight Hundred Thirty Five Thousand Nine Hundred Sixty Two 00/100 Dollars ($835,962.00) (the “Working Capital Adjustment Payment”).

(b)

The parties agree that the portion of the Escrow Amount to be released on the Initial Release date will be reduced from Two Million and 00/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) to One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00).

 

 

(c)

For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that certain deductions (e.g. the net working capital adjustment) have been made from the funds released from Escrow on the Pre-Release Date, these amounts shall not be deducted for a second time from the funds released on the Initial Release Date.
