RECITALS

 

A.           Karled Enterprises, a California general partnership (“Landlord”), as landlord, and Assignor (as successor-in-interest to Humbug Entertainment), as tenant, are parties to that certain Standard Industrial/Commercial Single Tenant Lease – Net, dated as of September 17, 2007 (including addendum and rider thereto) as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease dated June 13, 2008 (collectively the “Lease”).

 

B.           Assignor desires to assign to Assignee, as of the “Effective Date” (defined below), all of its right, title and interest in and to the Lease, and Assignee is willing to receive from Assignor such assignment and to assume each and all of the obligations of the tenant under the Lease to be performed following the Effective Date, all as set forth below.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.           Effective Date. The “Effective Date” shall mean that date which is the last of the following to occur: (i) the date first above written; (ii) the date upon which all notice requirements under the Lease arising from the foregoing assignment and assumption have been met; and (iii) the date upon which the Landlord consent required under the Lease is obtained. For clarification, this Assignment and Assumption shall not constitute an agreement to assign the Lease if an attempted assignment thereof without notice to or the consent of the Landlord or other third party would constitute a breach of the Lease or in any way adversely affect the rights of Assignor and Assignee thereunder. Assignor and Assignee agree to memorialize the Effective Date by a separate document upon the request of either party.

 

2.           Assignment. Effective as of the Effective Date, Assignor assigns and transfers to Assignee all its right, title and interest in and to the Lease.

 

3.           Assumption. Assignee hereby assumes, effective as of the Effective Date, all Assignor’s rights, title, and interest (including Assignor’s duties, obligations and liabilities) arising or relating to the Lease to be performed thereunder from and after the Effective Date and agrees to be bound by and perform all of the covenants, duties and obligations to be performed by the tenant under the Lease from and after the Effective Date.

 

4.            Indemnity. Assignee hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Assignor harmless from and against all claims, demands, causes of action, liabilities, losses, costs, fees, fines, and expenses (including, without limitation, costs of suit and attorneys’ fees) arising from or in connection with the obligations and liabilities assumed by Assignee hereunder (including, without limitation, the performance or nonperformance of all duties and obligations required to be performed or not performed by Assignor under the Lease, as well as in connection with any holdover under the Lease by Assignee) and which accrue on and/or after the Effective Date. Assignee’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the delivery of this Assignment and the Effective Date.

5.           Delivery of Premises. On the Effective Date, Assignor shall deliver the Premises (as such term is defined in the Lease) to Assignee, broom clean, free of debris, and otherwise in its “as is” “where-is” condition. Assignee acknowledges that Assignor has expressly disclaimed and made no representations or warranties whatsoever with respect to the Premises or the condition (including the environmental condition) thereof or the merchantability or fitness for any purpose thereof. Assignee acknowledges and agrees that it is accepting the Premises from Assignor “AS-IS” and “WHERE-IS,” with no representations or warranties of any kind whatsoever without any allowance or contribution, and Assignee, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby forever releases Assignor from any liability therefore.

 

6.           No Future Modifications. Assignee shall not cause or permit the Lease to be amended or modified in any manner whatsoever, including, without limitation, any early termination of all or any portion thereof or any extension of the Lease (either by way of the exercise of any option contained in the Lease or otherwise), without Assignor’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Assignor’s sole discretion unless the liability of Assignor under the Lease (if any) has been, or is concurrently therewith, relieved and terminated. Assignee shall promptly provide Assignor with any notices given to or received from Landlord. Assignee shall not assign the Lease nor sublet the Premises without Assignor’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Assignor’s sole discretion, nor without the consent of the Landlord, to the extent required pursuant to the terms of the Lease.

 

7.           Proration of Rent. Any Rent under the Lease that is actually paid by Assignor to Landlord and which are payable for any period occurring on or after the Effective Date shall be reasonably prorated (based on the actual number of days occurring in the month in which the Effective Date occurs) and shall be refunded by Assignee to Assignor.

 

8.           Transfer of Security Deposit. In consideration of the fact that Landlord holds a Security Deposit in the amount of $223,242.00 pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Lease, Assignee shall pay to Assignor $223,242.00 within ten days following the full execution of this Assignment. Assignee shall have the sole responsibility to recover the Security Deposit from Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Lease.

 

8.           Further Assurances.

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION

 

8.1          Indemnification. Subject to Sections 8.2 and 8.4 hereof, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold each of PBC DH and PBC Macquarie and their respective directors, officers, members, managers, investors, partners, employees, Affiliates, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against:

 

(a)           any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, costs and expenses suffered by any Purchaser Indemnified Party, and based upon, attributable to or resulting from the failure of any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in Article V hereof, or any representation or warranty contained in any of the Other Agreements or any certificate delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement, to be true and correct in all respects as of the date made;

 

(b)           any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, costs and expenses suffered by any Purchaser Indemnified Party, and based upon, attributable to or resulting from the breach of any covenant or other agreement on the part of the Company under this Agreement or any of the Other Agreements;

 

(c)           any and all Shareholder Claims;

 

  

21

  

 

(d)           any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, costs and expenses suffered by any Purchaser Indemnified Party, and based upon, attributable to or resulting from any Proceeding, whether commenced, or threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, relating to circumstances or events prior to the Closing Date; and

 

(e)           any and all notices, actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, assessments, judgments, costs, penalties and expenses, including attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and disbursements (collectively, “Expenses”) suffered by any Purchaser Indemnified Party, and incident to any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, costs and expenses with respect to which indemnification is provided hereunder (collectively, “Losses”).

 

8.2         Limitations on Indemnification for Breaches of Representations and Warranties. The Company shall not have any liability under Section 8.1(a) hereof unless the aggregate amount of Losses and Expenses to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties finally determined to arise thereunder based upon, attributable to or resulting from the failure of any representation or warranty to be true and correct, without regard to any materiality qualifiers contained in the representations and warranties, exceeds $100,000 (the “Basket”) and, in such event, the indemnifying party shall be required to pay the entire amount of all such Losses and Expenses including those used to compute the Basket; provided that the Basket shall not apply with respect to fraud, intentional misrepresentation, Shareholder Claims or the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.13 and 5.14 hereof.

 

8.3         Indemnification Procedures

 

(a) In the event that any Proceedings shall be instituted or that any claim or demand (“Claim”) shall be asserted by any Person in respect of which payment may be sought under Section 8.1 hereof (regardless of the Basket), the indemnified party shall reasonably and promptly cause written notice of the assertion of any Claim of which it has knowledge which is covered by this indemnity to be forwarded to the indemnifying party; provided that the failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that (and only to the extent that) such failure shall have caused the damages for which the indemnifying party is obligated to be greater than such damages would have been had the indemnified party given the indemnifying party prompt notice hereunder. The indemnifying party shall have the right, at its sole option and expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice, which must be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder. If the indemnifying party elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder, it shall within five (5) days (or sooner, if the nature of the Claim so requires) notify the indemnified party of its intent to do so, which notice shall acknowledge and agree that the indemnifying party is liable for the Losses arising from the Claim. If the indemnifying party elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder, fails to notify the indemnified party of its election as herein provided or contests its obligation to indemnify the indemnified party for such Losses under this Agreement, the indemnified party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Claim. If the indemnified party defends any Claim, then the indemnifying party shall reimburse the indemnified party for the Expenses of defending such Claim upon submission of periodic bills. If the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of any Claim, the indemnified party may participate, at his or its own expense, in the defense of such Claim; provided, however, that such indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party if so requested by the indemnifying party to participate or in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the indemnified party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party that would make such separate representation advisable; and provided, further, that the indemnifying party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any Claim. The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Claim. If the indemnifying party controls the defense of any such claim, (1) the indemnifying party shall obtain the prior written consent of the indemnified party before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against the indemnified party or if such settlement does not expressly and unconditionally release the indemnified party from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such Claim, without prejudice, (2) the indemnifying party shall promptly inform the indemnified party of any settlement offers received and shall inform any third party claimant that any such settlement offers shall and must be shared with the Purchaser, and (3) if the indemnifying party receives a settlement offer for an amount less than the Cap (which the indemnified party is willing to accept) and the indemnifying party chooses not to accept such offer, then the Cap shall not apply to such claim.

 

  

22

  

 

(b)           After any final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a court, arbitration board or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to a Claim hereunder, the indemnified party shall forward to the indemnifying party notice of any sums due and owing by the indemnifying party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter and the indemnifying party shall be required to pay all of the sums so due and owing to the indemnified party by wire transfer of immediately available funds within 10 business days after the date of such notice.

 

(c)           The failure of the indemnified party to give reasonably prompt notice of any Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the indemnifying party’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the indemnifying party can demonstrate actual loss and prejudice as a result of such failure.

 

(d)           PBC DH and PBC Macquarie shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses upon becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto.

 

8.4         Special Indemnification for Shareholder Claims. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event the Company or any Subsidiary suffers or incurs any Expenses and Losses based upon, attributable to or resulting from any Shareholder Claim or the failure of any representation or warranty contained in Sections 5.3 and 5.4 hereof or issues, or is deemed to issue, any Equity Security to any Person other than PBC DH and PBC Macquarie in connection with any Shareholder Claims (collectively, “Shareholder Claim Losses”), PBC DH and PBC Macquarie (on a pro rated basis according to relative amounts of the Loans funded by PBC DH and PBC Macquarie) shall be issued, without delay, an additional warrant for Series A Preferred Stock in form and substance substantially the same as the Amended and Restated PBC Warrant (with respect to PBC DH) and the PBC Warrant (with respect to PBC Macquarie), in an amount sufficient to negate the dilutive effect suffered by PBC DH and PBC Macquarie in connection with the Shareholder Claim Losses. The Company, PBC DH and PBC Macquarie agree that the intent of the foregoing provisions are to ensure that each of PBC DH and PBC Macquarie is held completely harmless from the effects of any Shareholder Claim Losses (whether as a result of diminution in value of the Company or its Subsidiaries, dilution of the amount of PBC DH’s and PBC Macquarie’s equity interest in the Company, dilution in value of the PBC DH’s and PBC Macquarie’s equity interest in the Company, or otherwise) and the Company agrees that it shall take all necessary and appropriate actions to effect such intent.

 

  

23

  

 

8.5           Conduct No Waiver. No course of dealing on the part of either PBC DH or PBC Macquarie, nor any delay or failure on the part of PBC DH or PBC Macquarie to exercise any of its rights, shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice either PBC DH’s or PBC Macquarie’s rights, powers and remedies.

7.8           Tax Returns and Payments.

7.9           Use of Proceeds.   The Company will use the proceeds of the Loans for the purposes, and in the amounts, set forth in the Closing Statement, provided that the Company shall first use the proceeds of the Loans to pay any and all amounts owed to Falcon (or its Affiliates), whether or not yet due and payable, and secure the release of all Liens in favor of Falcon or any of its Affiliates.

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION

 

8.1          Indemnification. Subject to Sections 8.2 and 8.4 hereof, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold each of PBC DH and PBC Macquarie and their respective directors, officers, members, managers, investors, partners, employees, Affiliates, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against:

 

(a)           any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, costs and expenses suffered by any Purchaser Indemnified Party, and based upon, attributable to or resulting from the failure of any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in Article V hereof, or any representation or warranty contained in any of the Other Agreements or any certificate delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement, to be true and correct in all respects as of the date made;

 

(b)           any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, costs and expenses suffered by any Purchaser Indemnified Party, and based upon, attributable to or resulting from the breach of any covenant or other agreement on the part of the Company under this Agreement or any of the Other Agreements;

 

(c)           any and all Shareholder Claims;

 

  

21

  

 

(d)           any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, costs and expenses suffered by any Purchaser Indemnified Party, and based upon, attributable to or resulting from any Proceeding, whether commenced, or threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, relating to circumstances or events prior to the Closing Date; and

 

(e)           any and all notices, actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, assessments, judgments, costs, penalties and expenses, including attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and disbursements (collectively, “Expenses”) suffered by any Purchaser Indemnified Party, and incident to any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, costs and expenses with respect to which indemnification is provided hereunder (collectively, “Losses”).

 

8.2         Limitations on Indemnification for Breaches of Representations and Warranties. The Company shall not have any liability under Section 8.1(a) hereof unless the aggregate amount of Losses and Expenses to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties finally determined to arise thereunder based upon, attributable to or resulting from the failure of any representation or warranty to be true and correct, without regard to any materiality qualifiers contained in the representations and warranties, exceeds $100,000 (the “Basket”) and, in such event, the indemnifying party shall be required to pay the entire amount of all such Losses and Expenses including those used to compute the Basket; provided that the Basket shall not apply with respect to fraud, intentional misrepresentation, Shareholder Claims or the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.13 and 5.14 hereof.

 

8.3         Indemnification Procedures

 

(a) In the event that any Proceedings shall be instituted or that any claim or demand (“Claim”) shall be asserted by any Person in respect of which payment may be sought under Section 8.1 hereof (regardless of the Basket), the indemnified party shall reasonably and promptly cause written notice of the assertion of any Claim of which it has knowledge which is covered by this indemnity to be forwarded to the indemnifying party; provided that the failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that (and only to the extent that) such failure shall have caused the damages for which the indemnifying party is obligated to be greater than such damages would have been had the indemnified party given the indemnifying party prompt notice hereunder. The indemnifying party shall have the right, at its sole option and expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice, which must be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder. If the indemnifying party elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder, it shall within five (5) days (or sooner, if the nature of the Claim so requires) notify the indemnified party of its intent to do so, which notice shall acknowledge and agree that the indemnifying party is liable for the Losses arising from the Claim. If the indemnifying party elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder, fails to notify the indemnified party of its election as herein provided or contests its obligation to indemnify the indemnified party for such Losses under this Agreement, the indemnified party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Claim. If the indemnified party defends any Claim, then the indemnifying party shall reimburse the indemnified party for the Expenses of defending such Claim upon submission of periodic bills. If the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of any Claim, the indemnified party may participate, at his or its own expense, in the defense of such Claim; provided, however, that such indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party if so requested by the indemnifying party to participate or in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the indemnified party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party that would make such separate representation advisable; and provided, further, that the indemnifying party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any Claim. The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Claim. If the indemnifying party controls the defense of any such claim, (1) the indemnifying party shall obtain the prior written consent of the indemnified party before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against the indemnified party or if such settlement does not expressly and unconditionally release the indemnified party from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such Claim, without prejudice, (2) the indemnifying party shall promptly inform the indemnified party of any settlement offers received and shall inform any third party claimant that any such settlement offers shall and must be shared with the Purchaser, and (3) if the indemnifying party receives a settlement offer for an amount less than the Cap (which the indemnified party is willing to accept) and the indemnifying party chooses not to accept such offer, then the Cap shall not apply to such claim.

 

  

22

  

 

(b)           After any final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a court, arbitration board or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to a Claim hereunder, the indemnified party shall forward to the indemnifying party notice of any sums due and owing by the indemnifying party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter and the indemnifying party shall be required to pay all of the sums so due and owing to the indemnified party by wire transfer of immediately available funds within 10 business days after the date of such notice.

 

(c)           The failure of the indemnified party to give reasonably prompt notice of any Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the indemnifying party’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the indemnifying party can demonstrate actual loss and prejudice as a result of such failure.

 

(d)           PBC DH and PBC Macquarie shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses upon becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto.

 

8.4         Special Indemnification for Shareholder Claims. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event the Company or any Subsidiary suffers or incurs any Expenses and Losses based upon, attributable to or resulting from any Shareholder Claim or the failure of any representation or warranty contained in Sections 5.3 and 5.4 hereof or issues, or is deemed to issue, any Equity Security to any Person other than PBC DH and PBC Macquarie in connection with any Shareholder Claims (collectively, “Shareholder Claim Losses”), PBC DH and PBC Macquarie (on a pro rated basis according to relative amounts of the Loans funded by PBC DH and PBC Macquarie) shall be issued, without delay, an additional warrant for Series A Preferred Stock in form and substance substantially the same as the Amended and Restated PBC Warrant (with respect to PBC DH) and the PBC Warrant (with respect to PBC Macquarie), in an amount sufficient to negate the dilutive effect suffered by PBC DH and PBC Macquarie in connection with the Shareholder Claim Losses. The Company, PBC DH and PBC Macquarie agree that the intent of the foregoing provisions are to ensure that each of PBC DH and PBC Macquarie is held completely harmless from the effects of any Shareholder Claim Losses (whether as a result of diminution in value of the Company or its Subsidiaries, dilution of the amount of PBC DH’s and PBC Macquarie’s equity interest in the Company, dilution in value of the PBC DH’s and PBC Macquarie’s equity interest in the Company, or otherwise) and the Company agrees that it shall take all necessary and appropriate actions to effect such intent.

 

  

23

  

 

8.5           Conduct No Waiver. No course of dealing on the part of either PBC DH or PBC Macquarie, nor any delay or failure on the part of PBC DH or PBC Macquarie to exercise any of its rights, shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice either PBC DH’s or PBC Macquarie’s rights, powers and remedies.

 

ARTICLE IX
