THIS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into by and between LUCID, INC., a New York Corporation having its principal address located at 2320 Brighton-Henrietta Townline Road, Rochester, New York 14623 (“Lucid”) and Northeast LCD Capital, LLC, a Maine limited liability company with an address at c/o Wesley Crowell, Bergen & Parkinson, LLC, 62 Portland Road, Suite 25, Kennebunk, Maine 04043(“Northeast”).

 

WHEREAS, Lucid has entered into a Line of Credit and Security Agreement with Danversbank (“Bank”) pursuant to which Danversbank has agreed to make a line of credit available to Lucid in the maximum principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “Line of Credit”); and

 

WHEREAS, as a condition of extending the Line of Credit to Lucid, Lucid is required to cause Northeast, and Northeast has agreed, to deposit $2,000,000 into an account with Bank (the “Pledged Account”), which account will be pledged to secure the Guaranty of repayment of amounts outstanding under the Line of Credit pursuant to the terms of a Limited Guaranty (the “Limited Guaranty”) and Pledge and Security Agreement between Northeast and Bank (the “Pledge Agreement”; and

 

WHEREAS, as compensation for funding the Pledged Account and entering into the Pledge Agreement, Lucid has agreed to pay to Northeast a fee of $100,000 per quarter for so long as the Pledged Account continues to secure the repayment of the amounts outstanding under the Line of Credit.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

1.                            Reimbursement. Lucid hereby agrees to repay to Northeast, on demand, any and all amounts withdrawn from the Pledged Account by Bank following the exercise by Bank of its rights under the Pledge Agreement.

 

2.                            Indemnification. Lucid will indemnify and hold harmless Northeast and its members, managers, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, penalties, interests, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by the Indemnitees in connection with, or resulting from, Bank exercising any of its rights under the Pledge Agreement as a result of any action or inaction on the part of Lucid or misappropriation by Bank.

 

3.                            Fee. In consideration for funding the Pledged Account and entering into the Limited Guaranty and Pledge Agreement, Lucid shall pay to Northeast a fee equal to $100,000 per quarter, properly pro-rated for any partial quarter, while the Pledge Agreement remains in effect and Northeast continues to fund the Pledged Account (the “Fee”). The Fee shall be accrued as and when time passes and paid in cash promptly following the completion of Lucid’s initial public offering (“IPO”), provided that Northeast shall have the option to elect to take payment of the Fee in shares of common stock of Lucid, which shares shall be priced at a discount of thirty percent (30%) off of the price at which such shares will sold in the IPO for purposes of determining the number of shares issuable in satisfaction of the Fee. If the IPO does not occur within twelve (12) months of the date hereof, then Lucid shall pay the fee accrued in
