Exhibit 10.48

 

CONFIDENTIAL SEVERANCE
AGREEMENT AND RELEASE

 

THIS CONFIDENTIAL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT AND RELEASE (“Agreement”) is made this 10th day of May, 2010, by and between Matthew A.
Packey (“Packey”) and Tree.com, Inc.,
for itself and on behalf of its subsidiaries including LendingTree, LLC (“Company”), with its principal office
in Charlotte, NC.

 

WHEREAS, Packey has been employed by the Company as Senior
Vice President, Chief Financial Officer;

 

WHEREAS, Packey has submitted his resignation and Company
has accepted such resignation and Packey and the Company desire to terminate
their employment relationship in an amicable and definitive manner and to
settle, compromise and resolve any and all claims they may have against each
other;

 

WHEREAS, Packey’s  last day in
the office is May 28, 2010 (“Termination
Date”); and 

 

WHEREAS, the Company, in exchange for the Release provided
by Packey herein, has agreed to provide Packey with certain additional
compensation which it is not otherwise obligated to provide.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the execution of this
Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

 

1.             Compensation.  Packey shall perform all normal duties
through May 28, 2010 and the Company will pay to Packey all salary
payments and other compensation due and payable, during the term of employment
through and including the Termination Date. 
On the next regularly scheduled Company pay date following the Termination
Date, the Company will also pay to Packey an amount equal to up to forty (40)
hours of any 2010 accrued but unused Paid Time Off (“PTO”)
balance.

 

2.             Employee Benefits.  From and after June 1, 2010, Packey
shall not have the right to participate in or receive any benefit under any
employee benefit plan of the Company, any fringe benefit plan of the Company,
or any other plan, policy or arrangement of the Company providing benefits or
perquisites to employees of the Company generally or individually.  Provided, however, that Packey shall be
entitled, if otherwise eligible, (i) to exercise his right to continued
coverage under the Company medical benefit plan as provided by the Consolidated
Omnibus Budget 

 

1

 

Reconciliation Act of 1986,
26 U.S.C. § 490B et seq. (“COBRA”)
(and with respect to which the Company will provide Packey with a separate
notice as required by federal law); and (ii) to elect the payment of
benefits to which Packey is entitled under the Tree.com, Inc. 401(k) Retirement
Savings Plan as provided under the terms of the plan.  If Packey elects COBRA coverage, upon
submission of proof payment for his COBRA coverage, Company will promptly
reimburse Packey for the amount that represents the employer’s portion of such
coverage from June 1, 2010 through February 15, 2011 or until such
time as Packey secures a position offering a benefit package that renders him
ineligible for COBRA coverage, whichever occurs sooner.

 

3.    Special
Exit Package.  Also as consideration
for Packey’s execution of this Agreement and his assent to its terms and
conditions, the Company shall:

 

a.             Pay Packey an
amount equal to seven (7) months’ Base Salary (calculated from his former
base salary of $312,500.00), payable in equal installments on the Company’s regularly
scheduled paydays over the seven (7) month period following his
Termination Date (the “Severance Period”).  If, however, Packey obtains other employment
or is otherwise compensated for services provided to any party during this
Severance Period, the Company’s obligation to make future payments to Packey
shall be offset against any compensation earned by him as a result such
employment or services provided.  Packey
agrees to inform the Company promptly of his employment status and any amounts
earned during the Severance Period.

 

b.             Pay Packey an
amount equal to forty (40) hours of PTO lost at the end of calendar year 2009
as well as all accrued, unused 2010 PTO, if any, in excess of the forty (40)
hours referenced in Section 1.

 

4.             Adequacy of
Consideration.  Packey understands
that the Special Exit Package provided hereunder by the Company is
discretionary in nature, is not an admission of liability by the Company, is
not required of the Company in the absence of this Agreement, and constitutes
adequate consideration for the Agreement.

 

5.             Return of
Property.  Packey acknowledges that
the Company has returned to him all of his personal effects and property which
were in the Company’s possession or control. 
Packey further acknowledges and agrees that he has returned or will
return to the Company all property of the Company (including, but not limited
to, computers, cell phones, pagers, keys and access cards, Company credit
cards, and all other Company documents, records and equipment) which are in
Packey’s possession or control, including all copies and summaries of any of
the Company’s 

 

2

 

confidential
or proprietary information.  Packey
further affirms that he understands his obligation to keep confidential the
business and proprietary information of the Company and that he will not
discuss or disclose such information with anyone.

 

6.    Release.

 

(a) As a
material inducement to the Company to provide the Special Exit Package and any
other consideration described herein, Packey, for himself and his heirs,
executors, administrators and assigns, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
forever releases and discharges the Company and its predecessors, successors,

from any and all actual or potential claims, demands, actions, causes of action
or liabilities of any kind or nature, whether known or unknown, including, but

of the State of North Carolina; and (vii) any other claims for personal

(b)  ADEA Claims.  Packey hereby releases and discharges
Company, its subsidiaries, affiliates, and their respective parents, direct or
indirect subsidiaries, divisions, affiliates and related companies or entities,

3

 

Employment
Act of 1967, as amended (“ADEA”), and
the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  Packey acknowledges and understands that ADEA
is a federal statute that prohibits discrimination on the basis of age in
employment, benefits and benefit plans. 
Packey specifically agrees and acknowledges that:  (A) the release in this Section 6
was granted in exchange for the receipt of consideration that exceeds the
amount to which he would otherwise be entitled to receive upon termination of
his employment; (B) his waiver of rights under this Agreement is knowing
and voluntary as required under the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act; (C) that
he has read and understands the terms of this Agreement; (D) he has hereby
been advised in writing by the Company to consult with an attorney prior to
executing this Agreement; (E) the Company has given him a period of up to
twenty-one (21) days within which to consider this Agreement, which period
shall be waived by his voluntary execution prior to the expiration of the
twenty-one day period and the parties agree that any changes to the terms or
conditions of this Agreement (whether material or immaterial) will not restart
the running of the 21-day period; and (F) following his execution of this
Agreement he has seven (7) days in which to revoke his release as set
forth in this Section 6(b) only and that, if he chooses not to so
revoke, the agreement in this Section 6 shall then become effective and
enforceable and the Special Exit Package shall then be made to him in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
To cancel this Agreement, Packey understands that he must give a written
revocation to the Senior Vice President of Human Resources of the Company at
11115 Rushmore Drive, Charlotte, North Carolina 28277, either by hand delivery
or certified mail within the seven (7) day period.  If he rescinds the Agreement, it will not
become effective or enforceable and he will not be entitled to any benefits
from the Company.

 

7.             Complete Bar.  Packey agrees that the parties released above
in paragraph 6 may plead this Agreement as a complete bar to any action or suit
before any court or administrative body with respect to any claim released
herein.

 

8.             Confidentiality,
Non-disparagement and Continuing Obligations.

 

(a)               Packey agrees, promises, and covenants that the terms
and provisions of this Agreement shall remain and be kept strictly confidential
by him and shall not be disclosed except as provided herein.  Without the express written agreement of the
Company, or unless required to do so by law, Packey agrees to take every
precaution to disclose this information only to those attorneys, accountants, governmental
entities, and family members who have a 

 

4

 

reasonable need to know such
information.  To the extent required by
law or applicable regulation, Packey may also disclose the provisions of this
Agreement to the appropriate taxing authorities.  This confidentiality provision applies to and
expressly prohibits all communications by Packey to any person or entity,
including, without limitation, communications to any present, former or future
Company employee.

 

(b)           Packey promises that
he will not make critical, negative or disparaging remarks about the Company,
its affiliates, or their officers, directors, employees or representatives,
including but not limited to comments about any of their products, services,
business or employment practices.

 

(c)           Additionally, Packey
acknowledges that, during his employment with the Company, he may have learned
information that is confidential to the Company (“Confidential
Information”).  Such
Confidential Information may have included (among other things): purchasing and
product information; sales and account information; customer information; sales
and marketing plans and strategies; pricing strategies; profit margins; pricing
reports; information concerning claims or potential claims against the Company;
personnel information, and any other information of a similar nature.  Packey agrees that he will not disclose any
Confidential Information to any person (including any Company employee who does
not need to know such Confidential Information), agency, institution, company
or other entity without first obtaining the written consent of the Company.

 

(d)           Packey acknowledges
that his obligations governed by any agreements entered into with Company
regarding rights in intellectual property, non-competition and non-solicitation
remain in effect pursuant to their original terms.

 

9.             No Admission of
Liability.  Packey understands and
agrees that the Company admits no liability with respect to any claim related
to or arising out of the termination of Packey’s employment or any other
matters.

 

10.           References.  Any and all inquiries relating to Packey’s
employment with the Company shall be directed to the Company’s Senior Vice
President, Human Resources.  If asked
about Packey’s employment with the Company, the Company will only provide
neutral information pursuant to Company policy, consisting of dates of
employment and positions held.

 

11.           Entire Agreement.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement
between the parties and may be modified only in a writing executed in the same
manner as the original 

 

5

 

Agreement;
and no agreements, representations, or statements of any party not contained
herein shall be binding on such party; provided, however,
that this Agreement does not supersede Packey’s Employment Agreement dated August 3,
2008, as amended, including without limitation, Sections 2(b)-(e).

 

12.           Controlling Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the state of North Carolina, as they
are applied to contracts made and to be wholly performed in this state,
regardless of choice of law principles to the contrary.  In addition, Packey consents to the
jurisdiction of any North Carolina court over any claims arising under or
relating to this Agreement.

 

13.           Enforcement.  Should any provision of this Agreement be declared or
be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be wholly or partially
illegal, invalid, or unenforceable (with the exception of the release contained
in paragraph 6), the legality, validity, and enforceability of the remaining
parts, terms, or provisions shall not be affected thereby, and said illegal,
unenforceable, or invalid part, term, or provision shall be deemed not to be a
part of this Agreement.

 

14.  Costs. The parties will each bear
their own costs, expert fees, attorneys’ fees and other fees incurred in
connection with this Agreement.

 

15.  Withholding.  Company shall make such deductions and
withhold such amounts from each payment and benefit made or provided to Packey
hereunder, as may be required from time to time by applicable law, governmental
regulation or order.

 

16.  Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code.  This Agreement and the benefits provided
hereunder are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the rules,
regulations and other guidance issued thereunder because the
Agreement provides only a short-term deferral of compensation within the
meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(4) (or any successor or
replacement section thereto).  This Agreement shall be interpreted
consistently with such exemption.

 

17.  Acknowledgments.

 

(a) Packey acknowledges that he has had ample opportunity to
consult with his attorney prior to his execution of this Agreement, and was
encouraged and advised in writing to do so by the Company.

 

6

 

(b)           Packey has carefully
read and fully understands all of the provisions and effects of this Agreement
and he knowingly and voluntarily entered into all of the terms set forth in
this Release.

 

(c)           Packey knowingly and
voluntarily intends to be legally bound by all of the terms set forth in this
Agreement.

 

(d)           Packey relied solely
and completely upon his own judgment or the advice of his attorney in entering
into this Agreement.

 

(e)           Packey’s signature
below evidences his understanding and voluntary waiver of all claims against
the Company.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, Packey and Company have executed this
Agreement, freely and voluntarily, as of the date first written above.

AND OTHER DOCUMENTS

This  Sixth Agreement of Amendment to Revolving Loan and Security Agreement ("Sixth Amendment") is effective May 12, 2010 by and among SOVEREIGN BANK, a federal savings bank, having an address of 101 Wood Avenue South, Iselin NJ 08830  ("Lender"), MEDIA SCIENCES INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Delaware corporation, MEDIA SCIENCES, INC.,  a New Jersey corporation, and CADAPULT GRAPHIC SYSTEMS, INC., a New Jersey corporation, having their chief executive office at  8 Allerman Road, Oakland  NJ  07436 (either separately, jointly, or jointly and severally, "Borrower").

RECITALS

A.           Borrower has executed and delivered a certain (i) Secured Revolving Loan Note dated February 12, 2008, in the original maximum principal sum of Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000.00),  as amended, and a certain (ii) Term Loan Note in the original maximum principal sum of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00) payable to the order of Lender (collectively, "Note").

B.           In connection with the execution and delivery of the Note and to secure payment and performance of the Note and other obligations of Borrower to Lender, the Lender and Borrower have executed, among other things, a Revolving Loan and Security Agreement dated February 12, 2008, as amended ("Loan Agreement").

C.           In addition to the foregoing documents, Media Sciences International, Inc. and Media Sciences, Inc. (jointly and severally, "Pledgor") have executed certain Pledge and Control Agreements dated February 12, 2008 ("Pledge Agreement").  For purposes of convenience, the Borrower and Pledgor are jointly and severally referred to as "Obligors."

D.           In addition to the foregoing documents, the Obligors and Lender have executed or delivered other collateral agreements, certificates and instruments perfecting or otherwise relating  to  the security interests created.   For purposes of convenience, the Note, Loan Agreement, Pledge Agreement and related collateral agreements, certificates and instruments are collectively referred  to  as the "Loan Documents.”

E.           Borrower has requested a modification of the Loan Documents.

F.           Lender and Obligors wish to clarify their rights and duties to one another as set forth in the Loan Documents.

 

  

  

  

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises, covenants and understandings set forth in this Sixth Amendment and the benefits to be received from the performance of such promises, covenants and understandings, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

AGREEMENTS

1.            Lender and Obligors reaffirm, consent and agree to all of the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents as binding, effective and enforceable according to their stated terms, except to the extent that such Loan Documents are hereby expressly modified by this Sixth Amendment.

2.           In the case of any ambiguity or inconsistency between the Loan Documents and this Sixth Amendment, the language and interpretation of this Sixth Amendment is to be deemed binding and paramount.

3.           The Loan Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

A.  Section 1.3(a) is hereby amended to read as follows:

Interest accrues on the Revolving Loan at the greater of (i) seven percent (7%) per annum or (ii) Lender's floating Prime Rate (as that term is defined in this Agreement) plus four percent (4.0%) per annum. In no event is the interest rate to be less than seven percent (7%) per annum.

B.  Section 7.9 is hereby amended to read as follows:

Section 7.9  Future Adverse Restrictions

The Borrower is not to change its status as a registered organization (if applicable), Operating Documents, the nature of its business or management structure; notwithstanding, Borrower may dissolve Cadapult Graphic Systems, Inc. and/or MSIA, LLC provided in each case that it then is inactive, has no assets and has no ownership or rights to any Collateral.  Borrower may create or establish any subsidiary, or purchase (directly or indirectly) all of the issued and outstanding stock of a foreign organized entity subject to the prior written consent of Lender, following notice to Lender provided that Borrower is to (i) execute and deliver to Lender a pledge and security agreement pledging to Lender as additional security for the Debt sixty-five (65%) percent of the outstanding stock (whenever issued) of any foreign subsidiary(ies)  of the Borrower now in existence or formed after the date hereof, and of any such entities whose stock has been so purchased (ii) deliver to Lender the stock certificates evidencing such stock together with the duly executed stock powers (undated and in blank) with respect

 

  

- 2 -

  

thereto, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender to be deemed part of the Collateral.

C.  Section 7.16 is hereby amended to read as follows:

Section 7.16  Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio

The Borrower is not to cause or permit its Fixed Charge coverage ratio, tested quarterly, on a rolling nine month basis for the quarter ending June 30, 2010, and on a rolling twelve month basis for the quarter ending September 30, 2010; and thereupon for each quarter thereafter based on a trailing 12 month basis to be less than 1.05:1.  Fixed Charge is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") (including an add back for non-cash stock based compensation) less the sum of: cash taxes; cash capital expenditures; any cash dividends, distributions or loans, and other cash payments not captured on the current profit and loss statement, divided by principal payments on term debt (or capital leases), and cash interest. For all of the foregoing determinations, any equity contribution made  to the Borrower and (for the period of October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010 only), indebtedness subordinated to the Debt on terms acceptable to Lender will be applied to offset cash capital expenditures. For those of the foregoing determinations made during fiscal periods of 2010 only which will be determined on a rolling twelve month basis, cash received by Borrower from convertible debt offerings and associated warrants will be applied to offset cash capital expenditures.

4.        The Borrower’s failure to comply with Section 7.16 of the Loan Agreement for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 constitutes an event of Default under the Loan Agreement.  Lender hereby agrees to grant a waiver thereof provided, however, that this waiver does not constitute (i) a modification or an alteration of any of the terms, conditions or covenants of the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Documents, all of which remain in full force and effect, or (ii) a waiver, release or limitation upon Lender’s exercise of any of its rights and remedies thereunder, all of which are hereby expressly reserved, or (iii) a waiver of compliance with Section 7.16 for any other period or purpose.  This waiver does not relieve or release the Obligors in any way from any of their other respective duties, obligations, covenants or agreements under the Loan Agreement or any other  Loan Documents or from the consequences of any event(s) of Default thereunder, except as expressly described above.  This waiver does not obligate Lender, or be construed to require Lender, to waive any other event(s) of Default or defaults, whether now existing or which may occur after the date of this Sixth Amendment.

5.        In consideration of this Sixth Amendment, Borrower is to pay to Lender a fee of Twelve Thousand Dollars ($12,000.00) upon execution of this Sixth Amendment.

6.         Except as set forth in paragraph 4 above, Obligors represent and warrant that there are no defaults or events of Default pursuant to or defined in any of the Loan Documents, and that all warranties and covenants which have been made or performed by Obligors in connection with the Loan Documents were true and complete when made or performed.

 

  

- 3 -

  

7.           The Loan Documents are hereby amended to provide that a default, breach or failure on the part of Obligors to perform any covenant or condition hereunder or an event of Default otherwise defined in either this Sixth Amendment or any document executed in connection with this Sixth Amendment is to be deemed an event of Default for purposes of the Loan Documents.

8.           All representations, warranties and covenants made by Obligors to Lender in the Loan Documents are hereby repeated as though first made expressly in this Sixth Amendment.

9.            Except as otherwise provided herein, the Loan Documents  continue in full force and effect, in accordance with their respective terms.  The parties hereto hereby expressly confirm and reaffirm all of their respective liabilities, obligations, duties and responsibilities under and pursuant to said Loan Documents and consent to the terms of this Sixth Amendment. Capitalized terms used in this Sixth Amendment which are not otherwise defined herein have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Loan Documents.

10.           The parties agree to sign, deliver and file any additional documents and take any other actions that may reasonably be required by Lender including, but not limited to, affidavits, resolutions, or certificates for a full and complete consummation of the matters covered by this Sixth Amendment.

11.           This Sixth Amendment is binding upon, inures to the benefit of, and is enforceable by the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties.  This Sixth Amendment is not assignable by Obligors without the prior written consent of Lender.

12.           To the extent that any provision of this Sixth Amendment is determined by any court or legislature  to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or part either in a particular case or in all cases, such provision or part thereof is to be deemed surplusage.  If that occurs, it does not have the effect of rendering any other provision of this Sixth Amendment invalid or unenforceable.  This Sixth Amendment is to be construed and enforced as if such invalid or unenforceable provision or part thereof were omitted.

13.            This Sixth Amendment may only be changed or amended by a written agreement signed by all of the parties.  By the execution of this Sixth Amendment, Lender is not to be deemed to consent to any future renewal or extension of the loan. This Sixth Amendment may only be changed or amended by a written agreement signed by all of the parties. This Sixth Amendment is deemed to be part of and integrated into the Loan Documents.

14.            This Sixth Amendment is governed by and is to be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of New Jersey as though made and to be fully performed in New Jersey (without regard to the conflicts of law rules of New Jersey).

15.           The parties to this Sixth Amendment acknowledge that each has had the opportunity to consult independent counsel of their own choice, and that each has relied upon such counsel's advice concerning this Sixth Amendment, the enforceability and interpretation of the terms contained in this Sixth Amendment and the consummation of the transactions and matters covered by this Sixth Amendment.

 

  

- 4 -

  

16.           Obligors are to reimburse Lender for its costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection with this Sixth Amendment, upon execution of this Sixth Amendment.

THE OBLIGORS, FOR THEMSELVES, THEIR SUBSIDIARIES (IF ANY) AND LENDER HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION RELATING TO THIS SIXTH AMENDMENT OR THE DEBT AS AN INDUCEMENT TO THE EXECUTION OF THIS SIXTH AMENDMENT.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have signed this Sixth Amendment.
