UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE

 

THIS THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE (this “Guaranty”) is made as of this 19th day of July, 2012, by RAMCO-GERSHENSON PROPERTIES TRUST, a Maryland real estate investment trust, having its principal place of business and chief executive office at 31500 Northwestern Highway, Suite 300, Farmington Hills, Michigan  48334 (“Trust”), and the other Persons, if any, now or hereafter a party hereto as a Subsidiary Guarantor (the Trust and such other Subsidiary Guarantors are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Guarantors”), in favor of KeyBank National Association, a national bank organized under the laws of the United States of America, its successors and assigns, for itself (“KeyBank”) and in its capacity as agent (the “Agent”) for certain other lenders (including the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Bank) that may now be or may hereafter become a party to the “Loan Agreement” (as such term is defined below), having an office at 1200 Abernathy Road, Suite 1550, Atlanta, Georgia 30328, Attn: Dan Silbert.  KeyBank (except when acting as the Agent) and each other lending institution which may now be or may hereafter become a party to the Loan Agreement (including the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Bank), shall be referred to collectively herein as the “Banks.”

 

WHEREAS, Ramco-Gershenson Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Debtor”), the Trust, KeyBank, the Agent, and the Banks are parties to that certain Third Amended and Restated Unsecured Master Loan Agreement dated of even date herewith (as the same may be modified, amended, increased, renewed or restated, the “Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which the Debtor is liable for the “Obligations” (as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement), including without limitation, loans and other financial accommodations from the Banks (including the Agent in its capacity as a Bank thereunder) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $360,000,000.00 (as the Total Commitment and the Obligations may be increased to $450,000,000.00 as provided in the Loan Agreement) (all Obligations, as the same may be increased pursuant to the Loan Agreement, being hereinafter referred to as the “Indebtedness”); and

 

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Loan Agreement that this Guaranty be executed and delivered by the Guarantors in favor of the Agent; and

 

WHEREAS, the Trust is the sole general partner of and the owner of at least a 90% of the ownership interests in Debtor, and the Debtor is the owner of all of the ownership interests in each other Guarantor; and

 

WHEREAS, the Debtor and the Subsidiary Guarantors are mutually dependent upon each other in the conduct of their business as an integrated operation and each of the Guarantors will derive substantial benefit and advantage from the financial accommodations to the Debtor set forth in the Loan Agreement including the loans and advances made to the Debtor thereunder, and it will be to the Guarantors’ direct interest and economic benefit to assist the Debtor in procuring said financial accommodations from the Banks by executing and delivering this Guaranty;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Agent and the Banks to enter into the Loan Agreement and the Banks to make loans, issue Letters of Credit and provide other financial accommodations thereunder, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Guarantors hereby agree as follows (unless otherwise defined herein all capitalized terms used herein shall have their meanings as set forth in the Loan Agreement):

 

  

  

  

 

1.           Guaranty of Payment.

 

(a)           The Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantee the full and prompt payment to the Banks and the Agent, on behalf of the Banks, when due, upon demand, at maturity or by reason of acceleration or otherwise and at all times thereafter, of any and all of the Indebtedness.

 

(b)           The Guarantors acknowledge that valuable consideration supports this Guaranty, including, without limitation, the consideration set forth in the recitals above as well as any commitment to lend, extension of credit, issuance of Letter of Credit or other financial accommodation, whether heretofore or hereafter made by the Banks to the Debtor; any extension, renewal, increase or replacement of any of the Indebtedness; any forbearance with respect to any of the Indebtedness or otherwise; any cancellation of an existing guaranty; any purchase of any of the Debtor’s assets by the Banks; or any other valuable consideration.

 

(c)           The Guarantors agree that all payments under this Guaranty shall be made in United States currency and the same manner as provided for the Indebtedness.

 

2.           The Banks’ Costs and Expenses.

 

The Guarantors jointly and severally agree to pay on demand, if not paid by the Debtor, all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred by the Agent or the Banks: (a) in enforcing this Guaranty, (b) in collecting any of the Indebtedness from the Debtor or Guarantors, (c) in realizing upon or protecting any collateral for this Guaranty or for payment of any of the Indebtedness, and (d) for any other purpose related to the Indebtedness or this Guaranty.  “Costs and expenses” as used in the preceding sentence shall include, without limitation, the actual reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the Agent or any Bank in retaining counsel for advice, suit, appeal, any insolvency or other proceedings under the United States Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, or for any purpose specified in the preceding sentence.

 

3.           Nature of Guaranty: Continuing, Absolute and Unconditional.

 

(a)           This Guaranty is and is intended to be a continuing guaranty of payment of the Indebtedness, independent of and in addition to any other guaranty, endorsement, collateral or other agreement held by the Agent or the Banks therefor or with respect thereto, whether or not furnished by any Guarantor.  The obligation of the Guarantors to repay the Indebtedness hereunder shall be unlimited.  The Guarantors shall have no right of subrogation with respect to any payments made by Guarantors hereunder, and hereby waive any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Agent or the Banks to secure payment of the Indebtedness, until all of the Indebtedness outstanding or contracted or committed for (whether or not outstanding) is paid in full, and the Guarantors agree that none of them will take any action to enforce any obligations of the Debtor to such Guarantor prior to the Indebtedness being paid in full, provided that, in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Debtor, the Agent, on behalf of the Banks, shall be entitled notwithstanding the foregoing, to file in the name of any Guarantor or in its own name a claim for any and all indebtedness owing to such Guarantor by the Debtor, vote such claim and to apply the proceeds of any such claim to the Indebtedness.

(b)           Except as otherwise provided for in Section 8.7 of the Loan Agreement, for the further security of the Banks and without in any way diminishing the liability of the Guarantors, following the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement and acceleration of the Indebtedness, all debts and liabilities, present or future of the Debtor to Guarantors and all monies received from the Debtor or for its account by Guarantors in respect thereof shall be received in trust for the Banks and forthwith upon receipt shall be paid over to the Agent, on behalf of the Banks, until all of the Indebtedness has been paid in full.  This assignment and postponement is independent of and severable from this Guaranty and shall remain in full effect whether or not any Guarantor is liable for any amount under this Guaranty.

 

(c)           This Guaranty is absolute and unconditional and shall not be changed or affected by any representation, oral agreement, act or thing whatsoever, except as herein provided. This Guaranty is intended by the Guarantors to be the final, complete and exclusive expression of the guaranty agreement between the Guarantors, the Banks and the Agent, on behalf of the Banks.  No modification or amendment of any provision of this Guaranty shall be effective unless in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of the Agent, on behalf of the Banks.

 

(d)           In the event of the business failure of any Guarantor or if there shall be pending any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding with respect to any Guarantor under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable law or in connection with the insolvency of any Guarantor, or if a liquidator, receiver, or trustee shall have been appointed for any Guarantor or any Guarantor’s properties or assets, the Agent on behalf of the Banks may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Agent on behalf of the Banks allowed in any proceedings relative to such Guarantor, or any of such Guarantor’s properties or assets, and, irrespective of whether the Indebtedness or other Obligations of the Debtor guaranteed hereby shall then be due and payable, by declaration or otherwise, the Agent on behalf of the Banks shall be entitled and empowered to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of any sums or sums owing with respect to the Indebtedness or other Obligations of the Debtor guaranteed hereby, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim.  Guarantors covenant and agree that upon the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding by or against the Debtor or any other Guarantor, no Guarantor shall seek a supplemental stay or otherwise pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §105 or any other provision of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law, or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of the Agent to enforce any rights of the Agent against Guarantors by virtue of this Guaranty or otherwise.

4.           Certain Rights and Obligations.

 

(a)           The Guarantors authorize the Agent and the Banks, without notice, demand or any reservation of rights against the Guarantors and without affecting the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder, from time to time: (i) to renew, extend, increase, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, the terms of or the interest on the Indebtedness or any part thereof or grant other indulgences to the Debtor or others, and to otherwise modify the terms of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (ii) to accept from any Person and hold collateral for the payment of the Indebtedness or any part thereof, and to modify, exchange, enforce or refrain from enforcing, or release, compromise, settle, waive, subordinate or surrender, with or without consideration, such collateral or any part thereof; (iii) to accept and hold any endorsement or guaranty of payment of the Indebtedness or any part thereof, and to discharge, release or substitute any such obligation of any such endorser or guarantor, or any Person who has given any security interest in any collateral as security for the payment of the Indebtedness or any part thereof, or any other Person in any way obligated to pay the Indebtedness or any part thereof, and to enforce or refrain from enforcing, or compromise or modify, the terms of any obligation of any such endorser, guarantor, or Person; (iv) to dispose of any and all collateral securing the Indebtedness in any manner as the Agent or the Banks, in their sole discretion, may deem appropriate, and to direct the order or manner of such disposition and the enforcement of any and all endorsements and guaranties relating to the Indebtedness or any part thereof as the Agent or the Banks in their sole discretion may determine; (v) except as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement, to determine the manner, amount and time of application of payments and credits, if any, to be made on all or any part of any component or components of the Indebtedness (whether principal, interest, fees, costs, and expenses, or otherwise); and (vi) to take advantage or refrain from taking advantage of any security or accept or make or refrain from accepting or making any compositions or arrangements when and in such manner as the Agent or the Banks, in their sole discretion, may deem appropriate and generally do or refrain from doing any act or thing which might otherwise, at law or in equity, release the liability of Guarantors as a guarantor or surety in whole or in part, and in no case shall the Agent or the Banks be responsible, nor shall any Guarantor be released, either in whole or in part for any act or omission in connection with the Agent or the Banks having sold any security at an under value.

 

(b)           If any default shall be made in the payment of any of the Indebtedness and any grace period has expired with respect thereto, each Guarantor jointly and severally hereby agrees to pay the same in full to the extent hereinafter provided:  (i) without deduction by reason of any setoff, defense (other than payment) or counterclaim of the Debtor; (ii) without requiring presentment, protest or notice of nonpayment or notice of default to Guarantors, to the Debtor or to any other Person, except as required pursuant to the Loan Agreement; (iii) without demand for payment or proof of such demand or filing of claims with a court in the event of receivership, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Debtor; (iv) without requiring the Agent or the Banks to resort first to the Debtor (this being a guaranty of payment and not of collection) or to any other guaranty or any collateral which the Banks may hold; (v) without requiring notice of acceptance hereof or assent hereto by the Agent or the Banks; and (vi) without requiring notice that any of the Indebtedness has been incurred, extended or continued or of the reliance by the Agent or the Banks upon this Guaranty; all of which the Guarantors hereby waive.

(ii) the invalidity, unenforceability, propriety of manner of enforcement of, or loss or change in priority of any such security interest or other lien or guaranty of the Indebtedness; (iii) any failure to protect, preserve or insure any such collateral;

(vi) any release, settlement or compromise of any obligation of the Debtor, other than as a result of the payment of the Indebtedness; (vii) the invalidity or unenforceability of any of the Indebtedness or other obligations guaranteed hereunder; (viii) any change of ownership of the Debtor or the insolvency, bankruptcy or any other change in the legal status of the Debtor; (ix) any change in, or the imposition of, any law, decree, regulation or other governmental act which does or might impair, delay or in any way affect the validity, enforceability or the payment when due of the Indebtedness; (x) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which Guarantors may have at any time against the Agent, any Bank or the Debtor in connection herewith or any unrelated transaction (provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit Guarantor from bringing a separate action for any such claim, provided such action shall not reduce, impair or effect its liability hereunder); (xi) the Agent’s or any Bank’s election, in any case instituted under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, of the application of section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code; (xii) any borrowing, use of cash collateral, or grant of a security interest by the Debtor, as debtor in possession, under sections 363 or 364 of the United States Bankruptcy Code;

5.           Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

 

(a)           Guarantors further represent and warrant to the Agent and the Banks that:  (i) the Trust is a real estate investment trust duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, and has full power, authority and legal right to own its property and assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged, and each other Guarantor is a limited partnership or limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, and has the full power, authority and legal right to own its property and assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged; (ii) each Guarantor has full power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, this Guaranty, and has taken all necessary action to authorize the guarantee hereunder on the terms and conditions of this Guaranty and to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty; and (iii) this Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by Guarantors and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantors enforceable against Guarantors in accordance with its terms.  In addition, each representation and warranty that is applicable to or is made by any Subsidiary under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document is hereby incorporated herein by this reference and the Guarantors (other than the Trust) hereby make, restate and reaffirm each such representation and warranty.

 

(b)           Each covenant and agreement that is applicable to or is to be performed by any Subsidiary under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document is hereby incorporated herein by this reference and the Guarantors (other than the Trust) hereby agrees to perform or abide by each such covenant and agreement.

 

6.           Security; Assets - Negative Pledge.

 

Guarantors warrant and represent to and covenant with the Agent and the Banks that: (i) each Guarantor has good, indefeasible and merchantable title to all of its assets, and (ii) each Guarantor shall not grant a security interest in or permit a lien, claim or encumbrance upon any of its assets in favor of any third party, except as otherwise allowed under the Loan Agreement.

 

7.           Termination.

 

This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Indebtedness shall be finally and irrevocably paid in full, all Letters of Credit are returned and surrendered to Issuing Bank without any draw thereunder, and the commitments under the Loan Agreement shall have been terminated.  Payment of all of the Indebtedness from time to time shall not operate as a discontinuance of this Guaranty.  The Guarantors further agree that, to the extent that the Debtor makes a payment or payments to the Agent or any of the Banks on the Indebtedness, or the Agent or the Banks receive any proceeds of collateral securing the Indebtedness which payment or receipt of proceeds or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be returned or repaid to the Debtor, its estate, trustee, receiver, debtor in possession or any other Person, including, without limitation, any guarantor, under any insolvency or bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment, return or repayment, the obligation or part thereof which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by such amount shall be reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the date when such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction occurred, and this Guaranty shall continue in full force notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Agent or the Banks in reliance upon such payment, and any such contrary action so taken shall be without prejudice to the Agent’s or the Banks’ rights under this Guaranty and shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment having become final and irrevocable.

8.           Guaranty of Performance.

 

The Guarantors also jointly and severally guarantee the full, prompt and unconditional performance of all obligations and agreements of every kind owed or hereafter to be owed by the Debtor and the other Guarantors to the Agent or the Banks.  Every provision for the benefit of the Agent or the Banks contained in this Guaranty shall apply to the guaranty of performance given in this Paragraph 8.

 

9.           Assumption of Liens and Indebtedness.

 

To the extent that any Guarantor has received or shall hereafter receive contributions to its capital consisting of assets of the Debtor that are subject, at the time of such contribution, to liens and security interests in favor of the Agent or the Banks in accordance with the Loan Agreement, each Guarantor hereby expressly agrees that (i) it shall hold such assets subject to such liens and security interests and subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement and (ii) it shall be liable for the payment of the Indebtedness secured thereby.  The Guarantors’ obligations under this Paragraph 9 shall be in addition to their obligations as set forth in other sections of this Guaranty and not in substitution therefor or in lieu thereof.

 

10.           Miscellaneous.

 

(a)           The terms “Debtor” and “Guarantor” or “Guarantors” as used in this Guaranty shall include:  (i) any successor individual or individuals, association, partnership or corporation to which all or a substantial part of the business or assets of the Debtor or a Guarantor shall have been transferred and (ii) any other entity into or with which the Debtor or a Guarantor shall have been merged, consolidated, reorganized, or absorbed.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to modify any restrictions regarding assignments, transfers, mergers, consolidations or reorganizations set forth in the Loan Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Guarantor shall assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Guaranty without the prior written consent of each of the Banks.

 

(b)           Without limiting any other right of the Agent or the Banks, whenever the Agent or the Banks have the right to declare any of the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable (whether or not it has been so declared), subject to the notice requirements and other limitations set forth in Section 13 of the Loan Agreement, the Agent and the Banks at their sole election without notice to any of the undersigned may appropriate and set off against the Indebtedness:  (i) any and all indebtedness or other moneys due or to become due to a Guarantor by the Agent or the Banks in any capacity and (ii) any credits or other property belonging to a Guarantor (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) at any time held by or coming into the possession of the Agent or any of the Banks, or any affiliate of the Agent or any of the Banks, whether for deposit or otherwise, whether or not the Indebtedness or the obligation to pay such moneys owed by the Agent or Banks is then due, and the Agent or the Banks shall be deemed to have exercised such right of set off immediately at the time of such election even though any charge therefor is made or entered on the Agent’s or the Banks’ records subsequent thereto.

 

  

7

  

 

(c)           The Guarantors’ obligation hereunder is to pay the Indebtedness in full when due according to the Loan Agreement to the extent provided herein, and shall not be affected by any stay or extension of time for payment by the Debtor resulting from any proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar law.

 

(d)           No course of dealing between the Debtor or any Guarantor and the Agent or the Banks and no act, delay or omission by the Agent or the Banks in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or with respect to any of the Indebtedness shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right or remedy, and no single or partial exercise thereof shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.  The Agent or the Banks may remedy any default by the Debtor under any agreement with the Debtor or with respect to any of the Indebtedness in any reasonable manner without waiving the default remedied and without waiving any other prior or subsequent default by the Debtor.  All rights and remedies of the Agent and the Banks hereunder are cumulative.

 

(e)           The term “Banks” as used herein shall have the same meaning as in the Loan Agreement and this Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of the Agent and such Banks.

 

(f)           Captions of the paragraphs of this Guaranty are solely for the convenience of the Agent, the Banks and the Guarantors, and are not an aid in the interpretation of this Guaranty.

 

(g)           If any provision of this Guaranty is unenforceable in whole or in part for any reason, the remaining provisions shall continue to be effective.

 

(h)           THIS GUARANTY IS A CONTRACT UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN AND SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF SUCH STATE (EXCLUDING THE LAWS APPLICABLE TO CONFLICTS OR CHOICE OF LAW).  EACH GUARANTOR AGREES THAT ANY SUIT FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS GUARANTY MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN OR THE STATE OF OHIO OR ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING THEREIN AND CONSENTS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURT AND THE SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT BEING MADE UPON SUCH GUARANTOR BY MAIL AT THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN THE OPENING PARAGRAPH HEREOF.  EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT OR ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH SUIT IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT.

 

(i)           Time is of the essence with respect to each and every covenant, agreement and obligation of Guarantors under this Guaranty and any and all Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party.

 

(j)           Each notice, demand, election or request provided for or permitted to be given pursuant to this Guaranty (hereinafter in this paragraph referred to as “Notice”) must be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given or served by personal delivery or by sending same by overnight courier or by depositing same in the United States Mail, postpaid and registered or certified, return receipt requested, or as expressly permitted herein, by telegraph, telecopy, telefax or telex, and addressed as follows:

The total purchase price (collectively, the "Purchase Price") for all of the Purchased Shares will be satisfied by way of the issuance and/or allotment and reservation for issuance and delivery by the Purchaser to the order and direction of the Vendors, in accordance with section "2.3" hereinbelow, of an aggregate of up to 24,900,000 restricted common shares in the capital of the Purchaser (each a "Share"), at a deemed issuance price of $1.80 per Share in each instance, in accordance with the following milestones:

- 9 -

(a)     2,490,000 Shares will be issued and delivered, as fully paid and non-assessable common shares of the Purchaser, at the "Closing" on the "Closing Date" (each as hereinafter determined) of this Agreement (the "Initial Shares");

(b)     a further 2,490,000 Shares will be allotted and reserved for issuance at the Closing and will be issued and delivered when and if the Purchaser's 10-day volume-weighted average market capitalization reaches $82,000,000;

(c)     a further 7,470,000 Shares will be allotted and reserved for issuance at the Closing and will be issued and delivered when and if the Purchaser's 10-day volume-weighted average market capitalization reaches $196,000,000; and 

(d)     a further and final 12,450,000 Shares will be allotted and reserved for issuance at the Closing and will be issued and delivered when and if the Purchaser's 10-day volume-weighted average market capitalization reaches $434,000,000;

provided, however, that the above market capitalization milestones must be satisfied within 10 years from the Closing Date otherwise any milestones which are not attained will eliminate the obligation of the Purchaser to issue and deliver the Shares associated with the unattained milestone(s).  For clarity, the Purchaser will maintain 100% ownership of the Company after the Closing Date even if one or more of the market capitalization milestones above are not attained within 10 years from the Closing Date and the Purchaser is therefore not required to issue and deliver the Shares associated with the unattained milestone(s).

2.3                    Disbursement of Shares.   The Purchaser will allot and reserve for issuance all of the Shares at Closing and, with respect to the Initial Shares only, issue the Initial Shares at Closing, to the Vendors in accordance with the Vendors' direction and registration instructions delivered to the Purchaser at the time of Closing and, if applicable, issue the balance of the Shares over time and upon satisfaction of the market capitalization milestones set forth in section "2.2(b)", "2.2(c)" and/or "2.2(d)" hereinabove.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that any and all Shares are to be delivered to the "Escrow Agent" (as hereinafter defined in section "7.1") to be held in escrow until the conditions to release the Shares from escrow as set forth in section "6.5" hereinbelow have been satisfied.  Once the conditions to release the Shares from escrow as set forth in section "6.5" hereinbelow have been satisfied, then any Shares that the Purchaser may become obligated to issue pursuant to section "2.2.(b)", "2.2(c)" and/or "2.2(d)" hereinabove are no longer required to be delivered to the Escrow Agent to be held in escrow.

2.4                    Resale restrictions and legending of Share certificates.   The Vendors hereby acknowledge and agree that the Purchaser makes no representations as to any resale or other restriction affecting the Shares and that it is presently contemplated that the Shares will be issued by the Purchaser to the Vendors in reliance upon the registration and prospectus exemptions contained in certain sections of the Securities Act or Rule 506 of Regulation D or Regulation S promulgated thereunder, which will impose a trading restriction in the United States on the Shares for a period of at least six months from the date of issuance of such Shares.  In addition, the Vendors hereby also acknowledge and agree that the within obligation of the Purchaser to issue the Shares pursuant to section "2.2" hereinabove will be subject to the Purchaser being satisfied that an exemption from applicable registration and prospectus requirements is available under the Securities Act and all applicable securities laws, in respect of each of the Vendors, the Purchased Shares and the Shares, and the Purchaser shall be relieved of any obligation whatsoever to purchase any Purchased Shares of the Vendors and to issue any Shares in respect of the Vendors where the Purchaser reasonably determines that a suitable exemption is not available to it.

- 10 -

                The Vendors hereby also acknowledge and understand that neither the sale of the Shares which the Vendors are acquiring nor any of the Shares themselves have been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and, furthermore, that the Shares must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act, or an exemption from such registration is available.  The Vendors also acknowledge and understand that the certificates representing the Shares will be stamped with a United States restrictive legend as set forth in section "3.2(h)(iv)" or section "3.2(i)(vi)" hereof, as applicable (or substantially equivalent language) restricting transfer if such restriction is required by the applicable Regulatory Authorities, and the Vendors hereby consent to the Purchaser making a notation on its records or giving instructions to the Purchaser's Transfer Agent in order to implement the restrictions on transfer set forth and described hereinabove.

                Each Vendor also acknowledges and understands that:

(a)     the Shares are restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act; and

(b)     the exemption from registration under Rule 144 will not be available in any event for at least six months from the date of issuance of the Shares to the Vendor, and even then will not be available unless (i) a public trading market then exists for the common stock of the Purchaser, (ii) adequate information concerning the Purchaser is then available to the public and (iii) any other applicable terms and conditions of Rule 144 are complied with.

2.5                    Costs.   The Parties shall bear their own costs in relation to the negotiation and formalization of this Agreement and the matters contemplated thereby, including any legal fees, accounting, regulatory and filing fees and expenses.

2.6                    Other securities.   If and to the extent that the Vendors, or any other party related, associated or affiliated with the Vendors, has any absolute, contingent, optional, pre-emptive or other right to acquire any other securities in the capital of the Company, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed by the Vendors that such party shall be conclusively deemed, as and from the Closing, to have transferred the same to the Purchaser to the fullest extent permitted by law, and to otherwise hold the same in trust for and at the discretion of the Purchaser.

2.7                    Standstill provisions.   In consideration of the Parties' agreement to purchase and sell the Purchased Shares and to enter into the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Parties hereby undertakes for themselves, and for each of their respective agents and advisors, that they will not until the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement approach or consider any other potential purchasers, or make, invite, entertain or accept any offer or proposal for the proposed sale of any interest in and to any of the Purchased Shares or the assets or the respective business interests of the Company or the Purchaser, as the case may be, or, for that matter, disclose any of the terms of this Agreement, without the Parties' prior written consent.  In this regard each of the Parties hereby acknowledges that the foregoing restrictions are important to the respective businesses of the Parties and that a breach by any of the Parties of any of the covenants herein contained would result in irreparable harm and significant damage to each affected Party that would not be adequately compensated for by monetary award.  Accordingly, the Parties hereby agree that, in the event of any such breach, in addition to being entitled as a matter of right to apply to a Court of competent equitable jurisdiction for relief by way of restraining order, injunction, decree or otherwise as may be appropriate to ensure compliance with the provisions hereof, any such Party will also be liable to the other Parties, as liquidated damages, for an amount equal to the amount received and earned by such Party as a result of and with respect to any such breach.  The Parties hereby also acknowledge and agree that if any of the aforesaid restrictions, activities, obligations or periods are considered by a Court of competent jurisdiction as being unreasonable, they agree that said Court shall have authority to limit such restrictions, activities or periods as the Court deems proper in the circumstances.

- 11 -

2.8                    Purchaser's obligations under the FOR.   In conjunction with the Closing of this Agreement the Purchaser hereby and thereby agrees to satisfy the obligations of the Company, which will then be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Purchaser, under the Farmin Opportunity Report (again the "FOR") between the Company and Hydrocarb, whereby Hydrocarb offered the Company the Namibia Concession Working Interest pursuant to the Petroleum Agreement and Exploration License (that is, a 39% working interest in the Namibia Concession, which includes a responsibility to pay 43.33% of the costs associated with the development of the Namibia Oil Exploration Concession due to the required pro-rata carrying of the Republic of Namibia's 10% interest in the Namibia Concession), in exchange for aggregate consideration of $2,400,000 which is payable at various times, and which offer was accepted by the Company.

2.9                    Payment by the Purchaser under the FOR.   Subject to the Closing of this Agreement as contemplated herein, which requires Hydrocarb, as a part of the conditions precedent to Closing as set forth in section "5.5" hereinbelow, to agree to and enter into a certain consulting agreement with the Purchaser, the Purchaser agrees to satisfy the payment obligations to Hydrocarb under the FOR in the following manner:

(a)     by way of the payment at Closing by the Purchaser to Hydrocarb of $800,000 in the either or both of the following manners to be determined by the Purchaser, in its sole and absolute discretion, and disclosed to Hydrocarb prior to Closing:

(i)     by way of a cash payment by the Purchaser to Hydrocarb;

(ii)    by way of the issuance by the Purchaser to Hydrocarb of up to an aggregate of 444,444 restricted common shares of common stock of the Purchaser (each an "Initial Hydrocarb Share"), at a deemed issuance price of $1.80 per Initial Hydrocarb Share; or

(iii)   in any combination of paragraphs "(i)" and "(ii)" immediately above; and

(b)     by way of the issuance of a promissory note in favor of Hydrocarb in the principal amount of $1,600,000 (the "Promissory Note"), with interest accruing on the principal amount at the rate of 5% per annum, calculated semi-annually and payable in arrears, and of which $800,000 of the principal amount plus accrued interest is due on or before the first anniversary of the Closing and the remaining $800,000 of the principal amount plus accrued interest is due on or before the second anniversary of the Closing.  In this regard Purchaser has the option, from time to time, and in its sole and absolute discretion at anytime:

(i)     to repay the principal amount and any accrued but unpaid interest due under the Promissory Note in full or in part at any time prior to maturity or at maturity in cash;

(ii)    to repay the principal amount and any accrued but unpaid interest due under the Promissory Note in full or in part at any time prior to maturity or at maturity in restricted common shares of common stock of the Purchaser (each a "Conversion Share"), at a deemed conversion price which equates to the then previous 10-day volume-weighted average trading price of the Purchaser's common shares on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or as reported on a national securities exchange or quotation system on which the Purchaser's common shares are quoted or listed for trading; or

- 12 -

 
(iii)   to repay the principal amount and any accrued but unpaid interest due under the Promissory Note in full or in part at any time prior to maturity or at maturity in any combination of paragraphs "(i)" and "(ii)" immediately above.

Each Party acknowledges that any and all information which a Party may obtain from, or have disclosed to it, about the other Parties constitutes valuable trade secrets and proprietary confidential information of the other Parties (collectively, the "Confidential Information").  No such Confidential Information shall be published by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties, however, such consent in respect of the reporting of factual data shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall not be withheld in respect of information required to be publicly disclosed pursuant to applicable securities or corporation laws.

For the purposes of the foregoing sections the Parties recognize and hereby agree that a breach by any of the Parties of any of the covenants therein contained would result in irreparable harm and significant damage to each of the other Parties that would not be adequately compensated for by monetary award.  Accordingly, the Parties agree that in the event of any such breach, in addition to being entitled as a matter of right to apply to a Court of competent equitable jurisdiction for relief by way of restraining order, injunction, decree or otherwise as may be appropriate to ensure compliance with the provisions hereof, any such Party will also be liable to the other Parties, as liquidated damages, for an amount equal to the amount received and earned by such Party as a result of and with respect to any such breach.  The Parties also acknowledge and agree that if any of the aforesaid restrictions, activities, obligations or periods are considered by a Court of competent jurisdiction as being unreasonable, the Parties agree that said Court shall have authority to limit such restrictions, activities or periods as the Court deems proper in the circumstances.   In addition, the Parties further acknowledge and agree that all restrictions or obligations in this Agreement are necessary and fundamental to the protection of the respective businesses of each of the Parties and are reasonable and valid, and all defenses to the strict enforcement thereof by either of the Parties are hereby waived by the other Parties.

Each of the Vendors and the Company further covenants and agrees that no public references to the Purchaser, the Company or the Vendors, or disclosure of the Vendors' role in respect of the Purchaser or the Company, be made by the Vendors without the prior written consent of the Purchaser in each specific instance and, furthermore, that any such written opinions, reports, advice or materials shall, unless otherwise required by the Purchaser, be provided by the Vendors to the Purchaser in a form and with such substance as would be acceptable for filing with and approval by any Regulatory Authority having jurisdiction over the affairs of the Purchaser and the Company from time to time.

13.2                  Notice.   It shall be a condition precedent to the right of any Party to submit any matter to arbitration pursuant to the provisions hereof that any Party intending to refer any matter to arbitration shall have given not less than five calendar days' prior written notice of its intention to do so to the other Parties together with particulars of the matter in dispute.  On the expiration of such five calendar days the Party who gave such notice may proceed to refer the dispute to arbitration as provided in section "13.3" hereinbelow.

13.3                  Appointments.   The Party desiring arbitration shall appoint one arbitrator, and shall notify the other Parties of such appointment, and the other Parties shall, within five calendar days after receiving such notice, appoint an arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so named, before proceeding to act, shall, within five calendar days of the appointment of the last appointed arbitrator, unanimously agree on the appointment of a third arbitrator, to act with them and be chairman of the arbitration herein provided for.

Article 14

DEFAULT AND TERMINATION

14.1                  Default.   The Parties agree that if any Party is in default with respect to any of the provisions of this Agreement (herein called the "Defaulting Party"), the non-defaulting Parties (herein called, collectively, the "Non-Defaulting Party") shall give notice to the Defaulting Party designating such default, and within five calendar days after its receipt of such notice, the Defaulting Party shall either:

(a)     cure such default, or commence proceedings to cure such default and prosecute the same to completion without undue delay; or

(b)     give the Non-Defaulting Party notice that it denies that such default has occurred and that it is submitting the question to arbitration as herein provided.

- 46 -

 

14.2                  Arbitration.   If arbitration is sought, a Party shall not be deemed in default until the matter shall have been determined finally by appropriate arbitration under the provisions of Article "13" hereinabove.

14.3                  Curing the Default.   If:

(a)     the default is not so cured or the Defaulting Party does not commence or diligently proceed to cure the default; or

(b)     arbitration is not so sought; or

(c)     the Defaulting Party is found in arbitration proceedings to be in default, and fails to cure it within five calendar days after the rendering of the arbitration award,

the Non-Defaulting Party may, by written notice given to the Defaulting Party at any time while the default continues, terminate the interest of the Defaulting Party in and to this Agreement.

14.4                  Termination.   In addition to the foregoing it is hereby acknowledged and agreed by the Parties that this Agreement will be immediately terminated, unless otherwise extended in accordance with section "6.2" hereinabove, in the event that:

(d)     the Closing has not occurred on or before August 31, 2012 in accordance with section "6.2" hereinabove; or

(e)     by agreement in writing by each of the Parties;

and in such event this Agreement will be terminated and be of no further force and effect other than the obligations under Articles "9" and "10" hereinabove.

 

Article 15

INDEMNIFICATION AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

15.1                  Indemnification.   The Parties agree to indemnify and save harmless the other Parties and including, where applicable, their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents (each such party being an "Indemnified Party") harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, actions, suits, proceedings, damages, liabilities or expenses of whatever nature or kind, including any investigation expenses incurred by any Indemnified Party, to which an Indemnified Party may become subject by reason of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

- 47 -

 

15.2                  No indemnification.   This indemnity will not apply in respect of an Indemnified Party in the event and to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment shall determine that the Indemnified Party was grossly negligent or guilty of willful misconduct.

15.3                  Claim of indemnification.   The Parties agree to waive any right they might have of first requiring the Indemnified Party to proceed against or enforce any other right, power, remedy, security or claim payment from any other person before claiming this indemnity.

15.4                  Notice of claim.   In case any action is brought against an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought against any of the Parties, the Indemnified Party will give the relevant Party prompt written notice of any such action of which the Indemnified Party has knowledge and such Party will undertake the investigation and defense thereof on behalf of the Indemnified Party, including the prompt Consulting of counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Party affected and the payment of all expenses.  Failure by the Indemnified Party to so notify shall not relieve any Party of such Party's obligation of indemnification hereunder unless (and only to the extent that) such failure results in a forfeiture by any Party of substantive rights or defenses.

15.5                  Settlement.   No admission of liability and no settlement of any action shall be made without the consent of each of the Parties and the consent of the Indemnified Party affected, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

15.6                  Legal proceedings.   Notwithstanding that the relevant Party will undertake the investigation and defense of any action, an Indemnified Party will have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless:

(a)     such counsel has been authorized by the relevant Party;

(b)     the relevant Party has not assumed the defense of the action within a reasonable period of time after receiving notice of the action;

(c)     the named parties to any such action include any Party and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be a conflict of interest between any Party and the Indemnified Party; or

(d)     there are one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or in addition to those available to any Party.

15.7                  Contribution.   If for any reason other than the gross negligence or bad faith of the Indemnified Party being the primary cause of the loss claim, damage, liability, cost or expense, the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold them harmless, the relevant Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of any and all such losses, claim, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by any Party on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other, but also the relative fault of the Parties and other equitable considerations which may be relevant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the relevant Party shall in any event contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party, as a result of the loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense (other than a loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expenses, the primary cause of which is the gross negligence or bad faith of the Indemnified Party), any excess of such amount over the amount of the fees actually received by the Indemnified Party hereunder.

- 48 -

16.2                  Change of address.   Any Party may at any time and from time to time notify the other Parties in writing of a change of address and the new address to which notice shall be given to it thereafter until further change.

17.9                  Currency.   Unless otherwise stipulated, all payments required to be made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and all money amount references contained herein are in lawful currency of the United States.
