ARTICLE 2
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF 5J AND THE 5J MEMBER

 

Except as otherwise set forth in a disclosure schedule of even date herewith
which is executed and delivered by 5J (the “5J Disclosure Schedule”), 5J and the
5J Member hereby jointly and severally make the following representations and
warranties to SMGI as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date.  Nothing in
the 5J Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to
a representation or warranty made herein, unless the 5J Disclosure Schedule
identifies the exception with reasonable particularity and describes the
relevant facts in reasonable detail.  The 5J Disclosure Schedule will be
arranged in paragraphs corresponding to the lettered and numbered paragraphs
contained in this Agreement.

 

2.1           Organization. 5J is a limited liability company duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Texas, is
qualified to conduct business and is in good standing under the laws of each
jurisdiction in which the nature of its business requires such qualification,
and has the requisite power to carry on its business as now conducted.

 

2.2           Capitalization of the Company and Subsidiaries. Immediately prior
to the Closing, the outstanding membership interests of 5J shall consist solely
of the 5J Interests being sold to SMGI. The 5J Interests are validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable. As of the Closing Date, there are no outstanding
or authorized options, warrants, rights or convertible securities, or any other
securities of 5J, or any agreements or commitments to which 5J or the 5J Member
is a party or which are binding upon 5J or the 5J Member providing for the
issuance or redemption of any of the 5J Interests.

 

2.3           Certain Corporate Matters. 5J is duly qualified to do business as
a limited liability company and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in
which the ownership of its properties, the employment of its personnel or the
conduct of its business requires it to be so qualified, except where the failure
to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on 5J's financial
condition, results of operations or business. 5J has full corporate power and
authority and all authorizations, licenses, leases and permits necessary to
carry on the business in which it is engaged and to own or use the properties
owned or used by it. 5J owns all of the assets in the spreadsheet lists
previously provided to SMGI and on Schedule 2.3 attached hereto and ancillary
office equipment, which are owned subject to the existing loans, security
interests and liens secured by UCC financing statements filed of record or
disclosed to SMGI.

 

2.4           Authority Relative to this Agreement. 5J has the requisite power
and authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out its obligations
hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by 5J and
the consummation by 5J of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly
authorized by the sole member and managing member of 5J and no other actions on
the part of 5J are necessary to authorize this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and
delivered by 5J and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of 5J, enforceable
against 5J in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally or by general principles of equity.

 

2.5           Consents and Approvals; No Violations. Except for applicable
requirements of federal securities laws, state securities laws and Lender
consent as to the change in control relating to the Debt Assumption, no filing
with, and no permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any third party,
public body or authority is necessary for the consummation by 5J of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither the execution and delivery
of this Agreement by 5J nor the consummation by 5J of the transactions
contemplated hereby, nor compliance by 5J with any of the provisions hereof,
will (i) conflict with or result in any breach of any provisions of the charter
or Company Agreement of 5J, (ii) result in a violation or breach of, or
constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or
give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under, any
of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture,
license, contract, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which 5J is a
party or by which it or any of its properties or assets may be bound or (iii)
violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation
applicable to 5J, or any of its properties or assets, except in the case of
clauses (ii) and (iii) for violations, breaches or defaults which are not
individually or in the aggregate material to 5J.

sheets of 5J as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related statements of
operations, member’s equity and cash flows for the two fiscal years then ended,
together with the unqualified report thereon from Bolton, Sullivan, Taylor &
Weber, L.L.P. (collectively, “5J’s Audited Financials”).

 

(b)                5J has provided SMGI with a copy of the unaudited balance
sheet of 5J as of September 30, 2019, and the related statements of operations,
member’s equity and cash flows for the three months then ended (“5J’s Interim
Financials”).

 

(c)                5J’s Audited Financials and 5J’s Interim Financials
(collectively “5J’s Financial Statements”) (i) are in accordance with the books
and records of 5J, (ii) are correct and complete in all material respects, (iii)
fairly present the financial position and results of operations of 5J as of the
dates indicated, and (iv) are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) (except that (x) unaudited financial
statements may not be in accordance with GAAP because of the absence of
footnotes normally contained therein, and (y) the interim unaudited condensed
financial statements included herein include all adjustments, all of which are
of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results
of operations for the interim periods presented.

 

(d)                5J will cooperate with SMGI to provide the Financial
Statements and partial year Financial Statements of 5J that SMGI advises are
required to be included in the Form 8-K due to be filed with the SEC by SMGI
within seventy days of the Closing Date.

 

2.7            Tax Matters.

 

(a)                 5J has filed on a timely basis all reports, returns,
declarations, statements or other information required to be supplied to a
taxing authority in connection with Taxes that it was required to file
(collectively, “Tax Returns”), and all Tax Returns were complete and adequate in
all material respects. “Taxes” means all taxes or levies or other similar
assessments or liabilities in the nature of a tax, including without limitation
income, gross receipts, ad valorem, premium, value-added, excise, real property,
personal property, sales, use, transfer, withholding, employment, unemployment
insurance, social security, business license, business organization,
environmental, workers compensation, payroll, profits, license, lease, service,
service use, severance, stamp, occupation, windfall profits, customs, duties,
franchise and other taxes imposed by the United States of America or any state,
local or foreign government, or any agency thereof, or other political
subdivision of the United States or any such government, and any interest,
fines, penalties, assessments or additions to tax resulting from, attributable
to or incurred in connection with any tax or any contest or dispute thereof.

 

(b)                5J or the 5J Member has paid on a timely basis, or adequately
reserved against in 5J’s Financial Statements, all material Taxes due, or
claimed by any taxing authority to be due, from or with respect to them.

 

(c)                 To the best knowledge of 5J, (i) no examination or audit of
any Tax Return of 5J by any governmental entity is currently in progress or, to
the knowledge of 5J, threatened or contemplated, (ii) 5J has not been informed
by any jurisdiction that the jurisdiction believes that 5J was required to file
any Tax Return that was not filed, and (iii) no material Tax issue has been
raised, and no material adjustment has been proposed or is pending, by any
governmental entity or taxing authority in connection with any of 5J’s Tax
Returns.

 

(d)                No waiver or extension of any statute of limitations as to
any material Tax matter has been given by or requested of 5J.

 

For the purposes of this Section 2.7, a Tax is due (and must therefore either be
paid or adequately reserved against in 5J’s Financial Statements) only on the
last date payment of such Tax can be made without interest or penalties, whether
such payment is due in respect of estimated Taxes, withholding Taxes, required
Tax credits or any other Tax.

prior to the Closing fully and fairly reflect the transactions to which 5J is a
party or by which its properties are bound.

governmental officials or employees, or to any foreign or domestic political
parties or campaigns (iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by 5J

infringed, upon the intellectual property or proprietary rights of any other
person, corporation or other entity. There are no claims pending or, to 5J’s
knowledge, any claims threatened alleging that 5J is currently infringing upon,
using in an unauthorized manner, or violating any trademarks, trade names,
service marks, patents, copyrights or other proprietary rights of any person,
corporation or other entity, and 5J is unaware of any facts which would form a
reasonable basis for any such claim. 5J is not, nor will it be as a result of
the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement, in breach of any license, sublicense or other
agreement or contract relating to intellectual property.

in any action, domestic or foreign, judicial or administrative. Except as
disclosed on Schedule 2.11, there are no existing actions, suits, proceedings
against or investigations of 5J, and 5J knows of no basis for such actions,
suits, proceedings or investigations. There are no unsatisfied judgments,
orders, decrees or stipulations affecting 5J or to which 5J is a party.

 

2.12         Legal Compliance. To the best knowledge of 5J, after due
investigation, no claim has been filed against 5J alleging a violation of any
applicable laws or regulations of federal, state and local governments and all
agencies thereof. 5J holds all of the material permits, licenses, certificates

compensation, incentive compensation, excess benefit, stock, stock option,
severance, termination pay, change in control or other employee benefit plans,
programs or arrangements, whether written or unwritten, qualified or
unqualified, funded or unfunded, currently maintained, or contributed to, or
required to be maintained or contributed to, by 5J, other than the employment
contracts, medical, dental, vision, disability, life insurance and or vacation
benefits.  5J is in compliance with all applicable federal and state laws and
regulations concerning the employer-employee relationship, including applicable
wage and hour laws, worker compensation statutes, unemployment laws, and social
security laws, except, in each case, where the failure to so comply could not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on 5J’s business.  Except as set forth on Schedule 2.13 hereof,
there are no pending or, to 5J’s knowledge, threatened claims, investigations,
charges, citations, hearings, consent decrees, or litigation concerning: wages,
compensation, bonuses, commissions, awards, or payroll deductions; equal

request and cause 5J or SMGI and their respective officers, employees,
consultants, agents, accountants and attorneys to cooperate fully with each
Party's representatives in connection with such review and examination and to
make full disclosure of all information and documents requested by each Party or
its representatives.  Any such investigations and examinations shall be

premises, with copies thereof to be provided to each Party or its
representatives upon request.

Party hereto shall promptly notify the representative of the other Parties of
any lawsuits, claims, proceedings or investigations which after the date hereof

5J Member shall, and shall cause its or their Affiliates (defined below) to,
hold, and shall use its or their reasonable best efforts to cause its or their
respective representatives to hold, in confidence any and all information,
whether written or oral, concerning SMGI, except to the extent that 5J and the
5J Member can show that such information (a) is generally available to and known
by the public through no fault of 5J and/or the 5J Member, any of its or their
Affiliates or their respective representatives; or (b) is lawfully acquired by
5J and/or the 5J Member, any of its or their Affiliates or their respective
representatives from and after the Closing from sources which are not prohibited
from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary
obligation. If 5J and/or the 5J Member or any of its or their Affiliates or
their respective representatives are compelled to disclose any information by
judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of law, 5J and/or
the 5J Member shall promptly notify SMGI in writing and shall disclose only that
portion of such information which 5J and/or the 5J Member is advised by its

the 5J Member shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain an appropriate
protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will
be accorded such information.

 

5.7           Closing Conditions. From the date hereof until the Closing, each
Party hereto shall use reasonable best efforts to take such actions as are
necessary to expeditiously satisfy the closing conditions set forth in Article 6
hereof.

Parties shall consider or be advised that any further deeds, assignments or
assurances in law or that any other things are necessary, desirable or proper to
complete the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement or to vest, perfect or confirm, of record or otherwise, the title
to any property or rights of the Parties hereto, the Parties agree that their
proper representatives shall execute and deliver all such proper deeds,
assignments and assurances in law and do all things necessary, desirable or
proper to vest, perfect or confirm title to such property or rights and
otherwise to carry out the purpose of this Agreement, and that the proper
representatives of the Parties are fully authorized to take any and all such
action.

 

5.9           Press Releases and Communications.  No press release or public

of SMGI and 5J Member.  Neither 5J and/or the 5J Member shall have any

the prior written consent of SMGI and the 5J Member.  Nothing herein shall
prevent 5J from notifying its employees, customers or suppliers of the
Transaction contemplated hereby as is necessary or desirable to facilitate the
consummation of the Transaction; provided, however, that any such communication
shall be previously approved by SMGI and may require any such third-parties to
execute a confidentiality agreement, at SMGI’s sole discretion and shall
constitute a “joint communication” if deemed appropriate by SMGI.

reflected on the 5J Interim Financials and the assets listed on Schedule 5.10
have been distributed to the 5J Member prior to the Effective Date:

ARTICLE 7
INDEMNIFICATION AND RELATED MATTERS

 

7.1           Survival of Representations and Warranties.  The representations
and warranties in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this
Agreement, including any disclosure schedule, shall survive until twelve (12)
months after the Closing Date (except for with respect to Taxes, which shall
survive for the applicable statute of limitations plus 90 days, and covenants
that by their terms survive for a longer period). The right to any remedy based
upon such representations and warranties shall not be affected by any
investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired at any time,
whether before or after execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing
Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of any such representation or
warranty.

 

7.2           Indemnification.

 

(a)                 SMGI shall indemnify and hold the 5J Member harmless for,
from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, damages, losses,
deficiencies, costs, penalties, interest and expenses (including, but not
limited to, any and all expenses whatsoever reasonably incurred in
investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or
threatened, or any claim whatsoever) (collectively, “Losses”) to which the 5J
Member may become subject resulting from or arising out of: (i) any breach of a
representation, warranty or covenant made by SMGI as set forth herein; or (ii) a
third party demand that the 5J Member pay any obligation of 5J pursuant to a
personal guarantee granted by the 5J Member prior to Closing.

 

(b)                The 5J Member shall indemnify and hold SMGI and SMGI’s
officers and directors (“SMGI’s Representatives”) harmless for, from and against
any and all Losses to which SMGI or SMGI’s Representatives may become subject
resulting from or arising out of (1) any breach of a representation, warranty or
covenant made by 5J or the 5J Member as set forth herein; or (2) any and all
liabilities arising out of or in connection with: (A) any of the assets of 5J
prior to the Closing; (B) the operations of 5J prior to the Closing; or (C) the
5J Interests.

 

7.3           Notice of Indemnification.  Promptly after the receipt by any
indemnified party (the “Indemnitee”) of notice of the commencement of any action
or proceeding against such Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim with
respect thereto is or may be made against any indemnifying party (the
“Indemnifying Party”) pursuant to this Article 7, give such Indemnifying Party
written notice of the commencement of such action or proceeding and give such
Indemnifying Party a copy of such claim and/or process and all legal pleadings
in connection therewith. The failure to give such notice shall not relieve any
Indemnifying Party of any of its indemnification obligations contained in this
Article 7, except where, and solely to the extent that, such failure actually
and materially prejudices the rights of such Indemnifying Party. Such
Indemnifying Party shall have, upon request within thirty (30) days after
receipt of such notice, but not in any event after the settlement or compromise
of such claim, the right to defend, at its own expense and by its own counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, any such matter involving the asserted
liability of the Indemnitee; provided, however, that if the Indemnitee
determines that there is a reasonable probability that a claim may materially
and adversely affect it, other than solely as a result of money payments
required to be reimbursed in full by such Indemnifying Party under this Article
7 or if a conflict of interest exists between Indemnitee and the Indemnifying
Party, the Indemnitee shall have the right to defend, compromise or settle such
claim or suit; and, provided, further, that such settlement or compromise shall
not, unless consented to in writing by such Indemnifying Party, which shall not
be unreasonably withheld, be conclusive as to the liability of such Indemnifying
Party to the Indemnitee. In any event, the Indemnitee, such Indemnifying Party
and its counsel shall cooperate in the defense against, or compromise of, any
such asserted liability, and in cases where the Indemnifying Party shall have
assumed the defense, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the
defense of such asserted liability at the Indemnitee’s own expense. In the event
that such Indemnifying Party shall decline to participate in or assume the
defense of such action, prior to paying or settling any claim against which such
Indemnifying Party is, or may be, obligated under this Article 7 to indemnify an
Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall first supply such Indemnifying Party with a
copy of a final court judgment or decree holding the Indemnitee liable on such
claim or, failing such judgment or decree, the terms and conditions of the
settlement or compromise of such claim. An Indemnitee’s failure to supply such
final court judgment or decree or the terms and conditions of a settlement or
compromise to such Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party
of any of its indemnification obligations contained in this Article 7, except
where, and solely to the extent that, such failure actually and materially
prejudices the rights of such Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party is
defending the claim as set forth above, the Indemnifying Party shall have the
right to settle the claim only with the consent of the Indemnitee.

EXHIBIT 1.1

 

FORM OF $2,000,000 SELLER NOTE

 

THE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE OR UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). THE SECURITIES ARE RESTRICTED
AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER
THE ACT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM
SUCH REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS.

 

5J OILFIELD SERVICES, LLC

 

10% SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE

 

THIS PROMISSORY NOTE is issued by 5J Oilfield Services, LLC, a Texas limited
liability (the “Company”), and is designated as its 10% Secured Promissory Note
due on the Maturity Date, as defined below.

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company hereby promises to pay to James E. Frye, Jr., or
permitted assigns (the “Holder”), the principal sum of TWO MILLION DOLLARS (US
$2,000,000) and to pay simple interest on the principal sum at a rate of ten
percent (10%) per annum (the “Stated Rate”). Accrual of interest shall commence
on the first business day to occur after the Effective Date and continue until
payment in full of the principal sum has been made or duly provided for, in
accordance with Section 2 below. All unpaid principal and accrued but unpaid
interest shall be due and payable on February 1, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”),
except as otherwise provided herein. If the Monthly Payment Date (defined
below), Quarterly Payment Date (defined below) or Maturity Date is not a
business day in the State of Texas, then such payment shall be made on the next
succeeding business day. The Company will pay the principal of this Note on each
Quarterly Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as applicable, and the interest
accruing under this Note on each Monthly Payment Date, or as otherwise set forth
below, by check or wire transfer to the person who is then the registered holder
of this Note.

 

This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

 

1.                  Purchase Agreement. This Note is issued pursuant to the
Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), entered into
by and between SMG Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Guarantor”)
and Holder (defined below) on February __, 2020 (the “Effective Date”) pursuant
to which the Guarantor is acquiring from Holder, and Holder is selling to the
Guarantor, the 5J Interests (as that term is defined in the Purchase Agreement)
in exchange for the Purchase Price (as that term is defined in the Purchase
Agreement), which includes, among other consideration, this Note. To the extent
there is a conflict in the provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement and
this Note, the Purchase Agreement shall control.

 

Exhibit 1.1

Page 1

 

 

2.                  Payment of Principal and Interest. Accrued interest shall be
paid monthly beginning in March 2020 on or before the fifth (5th) business day
of each month for the interest due for the preceding calendar month (the
“Monthly Payment Date”), regardless of Availability (as defined herein).
Payments of principal under the Note shall be made commencing June 30, 2020,
provided the requirements set forth below are satisfied. At the end of each
calendar quarter, commencing with the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020, the
Company shall make a principal payment to Holder, provided the borrowing base
availability (“Availability” or “BBA”), as defined in the revolving accounts
receivable assignment and term loan financing and security agreement entered
into by and between the Company and Amerisource Funding Inc. (“Amerisource
Agreement”) dated even date herewith, exceeds $1,500,000. Such quarterly
principal payment shall be equal to the difference between the Availability and
$1,500,000. For purposes of this Section 2, Availability shall be measured as an
average of the daily Availability during the ten-day period prior to the end of
the calendar quarter in which payment is being measured. Any such payment shall
be applied first towards outstanding principal. Principal payments shall be made
within ten (10) days of the end of each quarterly period (“Quarterly Payment
Date”). All principal and accrued interest outstanding as of the Maturity Date
shall be paid to Holder on the Maturity Date. In addition to the Company’s
customary monthly operating expenses, the Company shall allocate $92,000 per
month to capital expenditures (“Cap Ex Budget”). The Cap Ex Budget will remain
at a minimum of $92,000 during the first twelve (12) months of the term of this
Note. On each twelve-month anniversary of this Note the Cap Ex Budget will be
reviewed by the Company’s management. After the end of the first twelve (12)
months from the date of this Note, to the extent the capital expenditures will
be paid out of Company cash that would reduce Availability rather than through
Company debt, the cash expenditure shall require the prior written consent of
Holder.

 

In determining the BBA, the monthly Cap Ex Budget shall be allocated towards the
BBA whether or not it has actually been expended during any such quarterly
period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, principal payments under the Note will
not be made by the Company to Holder prior to the Maturity Date if the Company’s
EBITDA for the trailing twelve (12) month period does not equal or exceed a 1-1
ratio to the Company’s debt service payments to Amerisource and Utica Leasco LLC
(“Utica”) pursuant to the Amerisource Agreement and the Master Lease Agreement
entered into by and between the Company and Utica dated even date herewith.

 

3.                  Computation of Interest. Interest on the outstanding
principal balance of this Note shall be computed at the Stated Rate for the
actual number of days elapsed in a year consisting of three hundred sixty-five
(365) days, unless the maximum nonusurious rate of interest permitted by
whichever of applicable federal or Texas laws permits the higher interest rate,
stated as a rate per annum (the “Maximum Rate”) would thereby be exceeded, in
which event, to the extent necessary to avoid exceeding the Maximum Rate,
interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in
the applicable calendar year in which accrued. Determination of the rate of
interest for the purposes of determining whether this Note is usurious shall be
made by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading during the time this
Note is outstanding all interest or other sums deemed to be interest at any time
contracted for, charged or received from the Company. Neither the Company, nor
any other parties now or hereafter becoming liable for the payment of this Note
shall ever be liable for interest in excess of the Maximum Rate and the
provisions of this Section 3 and Section 4 shall control over all other
provisions of this Note.

 

4.                  No Usury Intended. In no case or event shall the aggregate
of all interest on the unpaid principal of this Note, accrued or paid from the
date hereof ever exceed the Maximum Rate. The Company shall never be liable for
interest in excess of the Maximum Rate. If, for any reason, the interest paid or
received on this Note during its full term produces a rate which exceeds the
Maximum Rate, the holder of this Note shall credit against the principal of this
Note (or, if such indebtedness shall have been paid in full, shall refund to the
payor of such interest) such portion of said interest as shall be necessary to
cause the interest paid on this Note to produce a rate equal to the Maximum
Rate. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this
Section 4 shall control all agreements, whether now or hereafter existing and
whether written or oral, between the Company and the Holder.

 

Exhibit 1.1

Page 2

 

 

5.                  Security and Subordination. This Note and the payment
thereof shall be secured by all of the Company’s accounts receivable, subject to
a prior security interest in the Company’s accounts receivable by Amerisource
Funding, Inc. This note and payment thereof shall be guaranteed by the Guarantor
pursuant to the terms of a guaranty executed by the Guarantor dated of even date
herewith (the “Guaranty”). Pursuant to such Guaranty being executed
contemporaneously with the execution of this Note, Holder is hereby authorized
to file a UCC-1 Financing Statement and all additional filings necessary to
perfect the security interest and guaranty hereby granted.

 

6.                  Tax Withholding. Holder shall deliver to the Company an IRS
Form W-9 and the Company shall not be required to withhold from all payments of
interest on this Note any amounts under the applicable provisions of the United
States income tax laws or other applicable laws at the time of such payments.
Holder shall be responsible for paying all taxes due on payments made pursuant
to this Note and shall execute and deliver to the Company and any applicable
taxing agency all required documentation in connection therewith.

 

7.                  Assignment and Transfer. This Note may be transferred or
exchanged only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Act”), and other applicable state and foreign securities laws. The Holder shall
deliver written notice to the Company of any proposed transfer of this Note by
the Holder. In the event of any proposed transfer of this Note by the Holder,
the Company may require, prior to issuance of a new Note in the name of such
other person, that it receive reasonable transfer documentation including legal
opinions that the issuance of the Note in such other name does not and will not
cause a violation of the Act or any applicable state or foreign securities laws.
Prior to due presentment for transfer of this Note by the Holder, the Company
and any agent of the Company may treat the person in whose name this Note is
duly registered on the Company’s Note Register as the owner hereof for the
purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes,
whether or not this Note may be overdue, and neither the Company nor any such
agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. This Note and the obligations
of the Company hereunder shall not be assigned or transferred by the Company (or
by operation of law) without the prior written consent of the Holder.

 

8.                  Maturity Date. On the Maturity Date, the Company will pay
any remaining principal and all accrued but unpaid interest due on this Note,
less any amounts required by law to be deducted, to the registered holder of
this Note and addressed to such holder at the last address appearing on the Note
Register. The Company can prepay the Note, in whole or in part, without penalty
at any time prior to the Maturity Date in its sole discretion, without the prior
written consent of Holder. In the event the assets of the Guarantor are sold,
foreclosed upon or otherwise transferred, in one or more transaction(s) such
that (a) a change of control of the Company occurs in which the Guarantor no
longer owns at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the membership interest in
the Company or all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (b) a
change of control of the Company’s affiliate 5J Trucking, LLC (“5J Trucking”)
occurs in which the Guarantor no longer owns at least seventy-five percent (75%)
of the membership interest in 5J Trucking or all or substantially all of the
assets of 5J Trucking (each being a “Change In Control”), then all remaining
principal and all accrued but unpaid interest shall be immediately due and
payable on the date of closing of the transaction(s) that caused the Change In
Control without presentment, demand or notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby waived by the Company and by the Guarantor.

 

Exhibit 1.1

Page 3

 

 

9.                  Company Obligation. No provision of this Note shall alter or
impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to
pay the principal of, and interest on, this Note at the time, place, and rate,
and in the coin or currency herein prescribed. This Note is a direct obligation
of the Company.

 

10.              Successors and Assigns. No recourse shall be had for the
payment of the principal of, or the interest on, this Note, or for any claim
based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, against any incorporator,
shareholder, employee, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of
the Company whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by
the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability
being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue
hereof, expressly waived and released. This Note and the Guaranty, and
obligation of the Company and the Guarantor thereunder shall be pending upon the
successors and assigns of the Company and the Guarantor.

 

11.              Investment Purposes. The Holder of the Note, by acceptance
hereof, agrees that this Note is being issued by the Company as payment of a
portion of the Purchase Price, that this Note is acquired to be held for
investment and that such Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of
this Note except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the
Act or any applicable state “Blue Sky” or foreign laws or similar laws relating
to the sale of securities.

 

12.              Governing Law. This Note shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity,
interpretation and performance of this Note shall be governed by, the laws of
the State of Texas, without giving effect to provisions thereof regarding
conflict of laws. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Texas for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any
transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that
such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the
venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby
irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being
served in any such suit, action or proceeding by sending, through certified mail
or overnight courier, a copy thereof to such party at the address for such
notices to it under this Note and agrees that such service shall constitute good
and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner
permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE,
AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE
HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR ANY
TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

13.              Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands,
waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing, shall be given
in the manner and at the addresses set froth in the Purchase Agreement, and
shall be deemed to have been given in accordance with the terms of the Purchase
Agreement.

 

Exhibit 1.1

Page 4

 

 

14.Event of Default. The following shall constitute an “Event of Default”:

 

a.The Company fails to timely pay: (i) any monthly interest payment on the
applicable Monthly Payment Date, (ii) any quarterly principal payment on the
applicable Quarterly Payment Date, (iii) any payment due upon a Change In
Control, or (iv) the final payment when due on the Maturity Date; and any such
failure continues uncured for a period of fifteen (15) days after written notice
from the Holder of such failure; or

 

b.The Company fails to perform or observe, in any material respect, any other
covenant, term, provision, condition, agreement or obligation of the Company
under this Note, and such failure continues uncured for a period of fifteen (15)
days after written notice from the Holder of such failure; or

 

c.The Company (1) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or commences
proceedings for its dissolution; or (2) applies for or consents to the
appointment of a trustee, liquidator or receiver for its or for a substantial
part of its property or business; or

 

d.A trustee, liquidator or receiver is appointed for the Company or for a
substantial part of its property or business without its consent and shall not
be discharged within sixty (60) days after such appointment; or

 

e.Bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other
proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of
debtors are instituted by or against the Company and, if instituted against the
Company, are not dismissed within sixty (60) days after such institution or the
Company by any action or answer approves of, consents to, or acquiesces in any
such proceedings or admits the material allegations of, or defaults in answering
a petition filed in any such proceeding.

 

Then, or at any time thereafter, and in each and every such case, unless such
Event of Default shall have been waived in writing by the Holder (which waiver
shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default) at the option of
the Holder and in the Holder's sole discretion, the Holder may consider this
Note immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice
of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything herein or in any
note or other instruments contained to the contrary notwithstanding, and the
Holder may immediately enforce any and all of the Holder's rights and remedies
provided herein or any other rights or remedies afforded by law. Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, the then
outstanding principal amount of this Note shall bear interest at a rate per
annum (based on the actual number of days that principal is outstanding over a
year of 360 days) of eighteen percent (18%) (the “Default Rate”). The Default
Rate shall continue to apply whether or not judgment shall be entered on this
Note. The Default Rate is imposed as liquidated damages for the purpose of
defraying the Holder’s expenses incident to the handling of delinquent payments,
but are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Holder’s exercise of any rights
and remedies hereunder, or under applicable law, and any fees and expenses of
any agents or attorneys which the Holder may employ. In addition, the Default
Rate reflects the increased credit risk to the Holder of carrying a loan that is
in default. The Company agrees that the Default Rate is a reasonable forecast of
just compensation for anticipated and actual harm incurred by the Holder, and
that the actual harm incurred by the Holder cannot be estimated with certainty

a. If the Employer shall terminate Employee's employment under this Agreement in
any way that is a breach of this Agreement by Employer, the following shall
apply:

 

(i)       Employee shall be entitled to receive the compensation set forth in
Section 9(b)(iii) above and Employer shall have no further obligation to
compensate Employee pursuant to Section(s) 4 or 9 above.

 

b.       In the event of termination of Employee's employment pursuant to
Section 9(b)(ii) of this Agreement, the Noncompetition Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect for twenty-four (24) months after such termination.

 

11.       Remedies.

 

Employer recognizes that because of Employee's special talents, in the event of
termination by Employer hereunder (except under Section 9(a)(i) or (iii)) or in
the event of termination by Employee hereunder, before the end of the agreed
Term, the Employer acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Agreement
regarding further payments of base salary, bonuses and the exercisability of
rights constitute fair and reasonable provisions for the consequences of such
termination, do not constitute a penalty, and such payments and benefits shall
not be limited or reduced by amounts Employee might earn or be able to earn from
any other employment or ventures during the remainder of the agreed term of this
Agreement.

 

12.       Excise Tax.   In the event that any payment or benefit received or to
be received by Employee in connection with a termination of his employment with
Employer would constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Code
Section 280G or any similar or successor provision to 280G and/or would be
subject to any excise tax imposed by Code Section 4999 or any similar or
successor provision then Employer shall assume all liability for the payment of
any such tax and Employer shall immediately reimburse Employee on a "grossed-up"
basis for any income taxes attributable to Employee by reason of such Employer
payment and reimbursements.

 

13.       Attorneys' Fees and Costs. If any action at law or in equity is
necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing
party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees, costs and necessary
disbursements in addition to any other relief to which he may be entitled.

 

14.       Entire Agreement; Survival. This Agreement contains the entire
agreement between the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated
herein and supersedes, effective as of the date hereof any prior agreement or
understanding between Employer and Employee with respect to Employee's
employment by Employer. The unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement
shall not affect the enforceability of any other provision. This Agreement may
not be amended except by an agreement in writing signed by the Employee and the
Employer, or any waiver, change, discharge or modification as sought. Waiver of
or failure to exercise any rights provided by this Agreement and in any respect
shall not be deemed a waiver of any further or future rights.

 

The provisions of Sections 4, 7, 8, 9(a)(ii), 9(a)(iii), 9(b)(iii), 10, 11, 12,
13, 14, 16, 17 and 18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

18.       Severability of Agreement. Should any part of this Agreement for any
reason be declared invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision
shall not affect the validity of any remaining portion, which remaining
provisions shall remain in full force and effect as if this Agreement had been
executed with the invalid portion thereof eliminated, and it is hereby declared
the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining
portions of this Agreement without including any such part, parts or portions
which may, for any reason, be hereafter declared invalid.

 

19.       Arbitration.

 

a.       If any dispute between the Company and Employee arises out of or is
related to this Agreement, Employee’s employment, or Employee’s separation from
employment with Company for any reason, and the parties to this Agreement cannot
resolve the dispute, the Company and Employee shall submit the dispute to final
and binding arbitration.  The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with
the JAMS Dallas Mediation, Arbitration and ADR Services (“JAMS”) Rules for the
Resolution of Employment Disputes (“Rules”).  If the parties cannot agree to an
arbitrator, an arbitrator will be selected through the JAMS’ standard procedures
and Rules.  Company and Employee shall share the costs of arbitration, unless
the arbitrator rules otherwise.  Company and Employee agree that the arbitration
shall be held in Houston, Texas.   Arbitration of the parties’ disputes is
mandatory, and in lieu of any and all civil causes of action or lawsuits either
party may have against the other arising out of or related to this Agreement,
Employee’s employment, or Employee’s separation from employment with Company,
with the exception that Company alone may seek a temporary restraining order and
temporary injunctive relief in a court to enforce the protective covenants as
provided in Section 8(d).  Employee acknowledges that by agreeing to this
provision, he knowingly and voluntarily waives any right he may have to a jury
trial based on any claims he has, had, or may have against the Company,
including any right to a jury trial under any local, municipal, state or federal
law including, without limitation, claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. Section 1981, the Americans With Disabilities Act of
1990, the Age Discrimination In Employment Act of 1967, the Family Medical Leave
Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the Texas
Commission on Human Rights Act, claims of harassment, discrimination or wrongful
termination, and any other statutory or common law claims.

 

b.       Before the arbitration hearing is conducted, the arbitrator shall have
the authority to consider and grant a motion to dismiss and motion for summary
judgment by applying the standards governing these motions under Federal Rules
of Civil Procedure 12 and 56.  The arbitrator shall issue a written decision and
award, which shall explain the basis of the decision.  The decision and award
shall be exclusive, final, and binding on both Employee and the Company, and all
heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns.  

 

c.       Both Employee and the Company understand that, by agreeing to
arbitration, they are agreeing to substitute one legitimate dispute resolution
forum (arbitration) for another (litigation), and thereby are waiving the right
to have disputes resolved in court.
