Wowio and Platinum hereby agree that Platinum, shall, on May 5, 2010 (the Closing Date) (), transfer all of the issued and outstanding ownership interests in substantially all of the assets, properties and rights of every nature, kind and description, whether tangible or intangible, real, personal or mixed, wherever located and whether or not carried or reflected on the books and records of Plaitnum, used or useful in, or necessary for the conduct of the business known as Drunk Duck (including its website(s)) and all goodwill associated therewith, including, without limitation, those items listed in Schedule 1.1 hereto, for a total purchase price of $1,000,000, payable as described in Section 1.2, below.  The parties further agree that the items listed in Schedule 1.1(a) shall be specifically excluded from the assets to be acquired by Wowio pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 

 

	

 

 

1.2              Payment Terms.  The total purchase price has been paid or shall be payable as follows:

(g)               Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) shall be paid in quarterly installments equal to a minimum of 10% of Net Revenue derived directly from the purchased assets (Drunk Duck).  Net Revenue shall be equal to gross revenue less taxes, sales commissions and production costs.

          2                                           $200

          3                                           $300

          4                                           $400

          5                                           $500

          9                                           $900

          10                                       $1,000

          Over  10                             $1,000  +  $200  for  each

                                                      Business  Day  late  beyond  10  days

Platinum Studios, Inc.INVESTMENT.AGREEMENT.May 20, 2010.

 

 

The Company shall make any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand by the Investor. Nothing herein shall limit the Investor's right to pursue actual damages for the Company's failure to issue and deliver the Securities to the Investor, except that such late payments shall offset any such actual damages incurred by the Investor, and any Open Market Adjustment Amount, as set forth below. 

 

 (H) OVERALL LIMIT ON COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if during the Open Period the Company becomes listed on an exchange that limits the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued without shareholder approval, then the number of Shares issuable by the Company and purchasable by the Investor, shall not exceed that number of the shares of Common Stock that may be issuable without shareholder approval (the "Maximum Common Stock Issuance").  If such issuance of shares of Common Stock could cause a delisting on the Principal Market, then the Maximum Common Stock Issuance shall first be approved by the Company's shareholders in accordance with applicable law and the By-laws and Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended, if such issuance of shares of Common Stock could cause a delisting on the Principal Market. The parties understand and agree that the Company's failure to seek or obtain such shareholder approval shall in no way adversely affect the validity and due authorization of the issuance and sale of Securities or the Investor's obligation in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof to purchase a number of Shares in the aggregate up to the Maximum Common Stock Issuance limitation, and that such approval pertains only to the applicability of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance limitation provided in this Section 2(H). 

 

(I)  If, by the third (3rd) business day after the Closing Date, the Company fails to deliver any portion of the shares of the Put to the Investor (the "Put Shares Due") and the Investor purchases, in an open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock necessary to make delivery of shares which would have been delivered if the full amount of the shares to be delivered to the Investor by the Company (the "Open Market Share Purchase"), then the Company shall pay to the Investor, in addition to any other amounts due to Investor pursuant to the Put, and not in lieu thereof, the Open Market Adjustment Amount (as defined below).  The "Open Market Adjustment Amount" is the amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Investor's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Open Market Share Purchase minus (y) the net proceeds (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the Investor from the sale of the Put 

 Shares Due.  The Company shall pay the Open Market Adjustment Amount to the Investor in immediately available funds within five (5) business days of written demand by the Investor.  By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if the Investor purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price (including brokerage commissions) of $11,000 to cover an Open Market Purchase with respect to shares of Common Stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the Open Market Purchase Adjustment Amount which the Company will be required to pay to the Investor will be $1,000.

7

Platinum Studios, Inc.INVESTMENT.AGREEMENT.May 20, 2010.

 

 

 

(J)  LIMITATION ON AMOUNT OF OWNERSHIP. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall the Investor be entitled to purchase that number of Shares, which when added to the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned (as such term is defined under Section 13(d) and Rule 13d-3 of the 1934 Act), by the Investor, would exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Closing Date, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-1(j) of the 1934 Act.
