Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Advisor or the Company may direct that reimbursement amounts otherwise payable to the Advisor by the Company shall instead be paid directly to such Person or Persons who or which are legally entitled thereto.

 

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Advisor shall pay all expenses of performing its obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the following expenses:

(b) 25% of the Advisor’s Company Net Income for such Calendar Year, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

                    The Directors of the Company may determine that, because of unusual and nonrecurring factors which they deem sufficient, a higher level of Operating Expense and reimbursement is justified for such Calendar Year. The Company shall be promptly reimbursed from advisor for any payments made to advisor under this Section 15 if, in any succeeding Calendar Year, the Operating Expenses of the Company are less than the permitted level of Operating Expenses.

 

          16. Advisory Responsibility.

Neither the Advisor, its shareholders, directors, officers nor employees nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person contracting with the Advisor for services and its shareholders, directors, officers and employees nor any of its Affiliates shall be liable to the Company or its Shareholders, except by reason of acts constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Advisor hereby agrees to look solely to the assets of the Company for satisfaction of all claims against the Company, and in no event shall any Shareholder, Director, officer or agent of the Company have any personal liability for the obligation of the Company under this Agreement.

 

          17. Incorporation of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. To the extent the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws impose obligations or restrictions on the Advisor or grant the Advisor certain rights which are not set forth in this Agreement, the Advisor shall abide by such obligations or restrictions and such rights shall inure to the benefit of the Advisor with the same force and effect as if they were set forth herein.

 

          18. Fiduciary Duty and Indemnification. Subject to Section 16, the Advisor shall have a fiduciary relationship to the Shareholders. However, the Company shall indemnify the Advisor, to the fullest extent permitted by law, for its liabilities and losses arising from the operations of the Company (including its costs and expenses, including legal fees and expenses, incurred in connection with investigating and defending itself against such liabilities and losses) if the following conditions are met:

 

(a) the Directors have determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct which caused the liability or loss was undertaken in good faith within what the Advisor reasonably believed to be the scope of its employment or authority and for a purpose which it reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company;

 

(b) the Directors have determined, in good faith, that the liability or loss was not the result of willful misconduct, bad faith, reckless disregard of duties or violation of the criminal law on the part of the Advisor; and

 

(c) the indemnified amount is recoverable only out of the assets of the Company and not from the Shareholders.

 

  

10

  

Notwithstanding the foregoing, indemnification will not be allowed for any liability imposed by judgment, and costs associated therewith, including attorneys’ fees, arising from or out of a violation of state or federal securities laws associated with the Offering of the Units unless (i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities laws violations as to the particular indemnitee, or (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against a particular indemnitee.

 

19. Transactions between the Advisor and the Company. All transactions between the Advisor and the Company shall require the approval by a majority of the Directors and shall otherwise comply with the conflict of interest provisions of the Bylaws.

21. Other Activities. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, nothing contained herein shall limit the right of the Advisor or any of its officers, directors or employees, whether or not a Director, officer or employee of the Company, to engage in other business activities or to render services of any kind to any other Person even if such other business activities or services may be in direct competition with the Company.

Exhibit 10.37

AGREEMENT FOR CANCELLATION 

OF

SECURED CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE

This Agreement for Cancellation of Secured Convertible Debenture (the “Agreement”) is entered into as August 20, 2013, by and among IceWEB, Inc. (the “Company”) and Sand Hill Finance, LLC (“SHF”).

RECITALS

Company issued SHF a Secured Convertible Debenture (the “Debenture”) on April 15, 2013, a copy of which attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by such reference.  Company has asked SHF to accept certain shares of stock of Company in exchange for SHF’s cancelling the Debenture and any warrants to purchase stock of Company held by SHF.  SHF has agreed to do so, on the terms of this Agreement. 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1. Defined Terms.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Debenture.

2. Acknowledgement of Liability.  As of the date of this Agreement, Company owes SHF the principal amount of $1,642,739.32, which indebtedness is evidenced by the Debenture.  Company reaffirms all of its obligations under the Debenture.

3. Issuance of Shares.  In exchange for cancellation of the Debenture, Company shall immediately issue to SHF 37,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”).  Company represents and warrants that the Shares are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free of any liens and encumbrances.  Company is delivering with this Agreement one or more certificates evidencing the Shares issued in the name of SHF.

4. Termination of Debenture and Warrants.  SHF shall return to Company the Debenture and any Warrants to purchase common stock of the Company held by SHF, in each case marked “Cancelled”.  Company shall have no further obligation under the Debenture or the Warrants.   Within five (5) days of the execution of this Agreement, SHF shall execute and file UCC-3 Termination Statements in all jurisdictions in which UCC-1 Financing Statements were filed in respect to the Debenture, or any prior obligation of the Company to SHF.  SHF shall deliver to the Company such UCC-3 Termination Statements and take such other actions, or refrain from taking such other actions, as the Company may request to effectuate the termination of the Financing Agreement and the release by SHF of any security interest granted by the Company to SHF thereunder or otherwise.  

5. Company Representations.  The execution, delivery and performance by Company are within its corporate power, have been duly authorized, and do not contravene or constitute a default under any agreement to which Company is party or by which it is bound, require no action by or in respect of, filing with, or consent of, any governmental entity.  This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Company, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.  

6. General Release. Company and SHF mutually relieves, releases, and discharges each other and its present or former employees, officers, directors, agents, representatives, attorneys, and each of them, from any and all claims, debts, liabilities, demands, obligations, promises, acts, agreements, costs and expenses, actions and causes of action, of every type, kind, nature, description or character whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, absolute or contingent, arising out of or in any manner whatsoever connected with or related to facts, circumstances, issues, controversies or claims existing or arising from the beginning of time through and including the date of execution of this Agreement (collectively “Released Claims”).  Without limiting the foregoing, the Released Claims shall include any and all liabilities or claims arising out of or in any manner whatsoever connected with or related to the Debenture, the Recitals hereto, any instruments, agreements or 

documents executed in connection with any of the foregoing or the origination, negotiation, administration, servicing and/or enforcement of any of the foregoing.

In furtherance of this release, Company acknowledges and waives any and all rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides as follows:

“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or expect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.” 

1. Miscellaneous.

Severability.  In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, this Agreement will be construed as not containing such provision and the remainder of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Choice of Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.  

JURY WAIVER; JUDICIAL REFERENCE. SHF AND COMPANY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR THEREIN, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS.  EACH PARTY RECOGNIZES AND AGREES THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR IT TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.  IF THIS JURY WAIVER IS FOR ANY REASON UNENFORCEABLE, THE PARTIES AGREE TO RESOLVE ALL CLAIMS, CAUSES AND DISPUTES THROUGH JUDICIAL REFERENCE PURSUANT TO CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTION 638 ET SEQ, BEFORE A MUTUALLY ACCEPTABLE REFEREE IN SANTA CLARA COUNTY SITTING WITHOUT A JURY OR, IF THE PARTIES CANNOT AGREE ON A REFEREE, THAN ONE APPOINTED BY THE PRESIDING JUDGE OF THE CALIFORNIA SUPERIOR COURT FOR SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.  NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL RESTRICT A PARTY FROM EXERCISING PRE-JUDGMENT REMEDIES OR ITS RIGHTS UNDER THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE.  SHF and Company submit to the jurisdiction of the state and Federal courts located in Santa Clara County, California.

Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one instrument.

Integration.  This Agreement and the documents executed in connection herewith constitute the entire agreement of the parties, and supercedes any prior discussions or agreements, oral or written.  This Agreement may not be amended except by written instrument signed by both parties.  No waiver shall be effective unless in writing and signed by SHF.  Any waiver on one occasion is not a waiver on any subsequent occasion

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Agreement as of the first date above written.
