Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to that certain Letter Agreement incorporating the Securities Purchase Agreement – Standard Terms (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), dated as of the date set forth on Schedule A hereto, between the United States Department of the Treasury (the “Investor”) and the company set forth on Schedule A hereto (the “Company”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Securities Purchase Agreement.  Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, at the Closing, the Company issued to the Investor the number of shares of the series of its preferred stock set forth on Schedule A hereto (the “Preferred Shares”) and a warrant to purchase the number of shares of its common stock set forth on Schedule A hereto (the “Warrant”).

 

In connection with the consummation of the repurchase (the “Repurchase”) by the Company from the Investor, on the date hereof, of the number of Preferred Shares listed on Schedule A hereto (the “Repurchased Preferred Shares”), as permitted by the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, as amended by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009:

 

 (a)           The Company hereby acknowledges receipt from the Investor of the share certificate(s) set forth on Schedule A hereto representing the Preferred Shares; and

 

(b)           The Investor hereby acknowledges receipt from the Company of a wire transfer to the account of the Investor set forth on Schedule A hereto in immediately available funds of the aggregate purchase price set forth on Schedule A hereto, representing payment in full for the Repurchased Preferred Shares at a price per share equal to the Liquidation Amount per share, together with any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but excluding, the date hereof.

 

The Investor and the Company hereby agree that, notwithstanding Section 4.4 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, immediately following consummation of the Repurchase, but subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Investor shall be permitted to Transfer all or a portion of the Warrant with respect to, and/or exercise the Warrant for, all or a portion of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable thereunder, at any time and without limitation, and Section 4.4 of the Securities Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to be amended in order to permit the foregoing.  The Company shall take all steps as may be reasonably requested by the Investor to facilitate any such Transfer.

  

  

  

In addition, the Company agrees that in the event it elects to repurchase the Warrant, it shall deliver to the Investor within 15 calendar days of the date hereof a notice of intent to repurchase the Warrant, which notice shall be in accordance with Section 4.9(b) of the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Warrant Repurchase Notice”).  In the event the Company does not deliver the Warrant Repurchase Notice to the Investor within 15 calendar days of the date hereof, the Investor hereby provides notice, pursuant to Section 4.5(p) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, of its intention to sell the Warrant, such notice to be effective as of the first day following the end of such 15-day period.

 

In the event that the Company delivers a Warrant Repurchase Notice and the Company and the Investor fail to agree on the Fair Market Value of the Warrant pursuant to the procedures (including the Appraisal Procedure), and in accordance with the time periods, set forth in Section 4.9(c) of the Securities Purchase Agreement or the Company revokes the delivery of such Warrant Repurchase Notice, then the Investor hereby provides notice of its intention to sell the Warrant.

 

This letter agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the federal law of the United States if and to the extent such law is applicable, and otherwise in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State.

This letter agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts, each such counterpart being deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts will together constitute the same agreement.  Executed signature pages to this letter agreement may be delivered by facsimile and such facsimiles will be deemed sufficient as if actual signature pages had been delivered.

Exhibit 10.1

 

ANTS SOFTWARE, INC.

 

STRATEGIC BONUS PLAN

 

SECTION 1

 

GENERAL

 

1.1          Background; Purpose.

 

(a)           ANTs software inc. (the “Company”) has experienced significant challenges during 2011 as a result of the loss of its largest single customer and the resulting loss of a substantial portion of its revenues.  As a result, on one or more occasions the Company has been forced to defer the payment of base compensation to its employees and has been forced to pay compensation through the issuance of stock.  In addition, the Company has been unable to pay members of the Company’s Board of
Directors (the “Board”) their cash fees for Board participation and Board members have been forced to pay the premium on the Company’s D&O insurance with their own funds.  The Board has determined to explore strategic alternatives, including the possible sale of the Company or its assets (a “Strategic Transaction”) and, in order to retain its necessary employees and the participation of its Board, the Company has adopted this Strategic Bonus Plan (this “Plan”).

 

(b)           This purpose of this Plan is to (i) attract and retain key employees and Board members necessary to consummate a Strategic Transaction, (ii) motivate Participants  to achieve long-range goals including the consummation of a Strategic Transaction; (iii) provide incentive compensation opportunities that are competitive with those of other similar companies; and (iv) further identify Participants’ interests with those of the Company’s shareholders through compensation that is based on the creation of value to the Company’s shareholders through the consummation of a Strategic Transaction.

 

1.2           Participation. “Participants” in this Plan will consist of (a) employees of the Company who are determined by the Committee to be eligible, and (b) members of the Board.

 

1.3           Compliance with Section 409A of the Code.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if any Award constitutes or provides for the deferral of compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Award shall comply and be administered in all respects, in such manner as the Committee shall determine to be necessary or appropriate, to conform with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code (and the Treasury Regulations and other applicable guidance promulgated thereunder),
the applicable Award Agreement shall include all provisions required for the Award to comply with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code; and those provisions of the Award Agreement shall be deemed to constitute provisions of the Plan.  If the Committee grants any Awards or takes any other action that would inadvertently result in the imposition of a penalty on a Participant under Section 409A of the Code, then the Company, in its discretion, may, to the maximum extent permitted by law, unilaterally rescind ab initio, sever, amend or otherwise modify the grant or action (or any provision of the Award) in such manner as may be necessary for the penalty to be inapplicable or reduced.

SECTION 2

 

OPERATION AND ADMINISTRATION

 

2.1           Effective Date; Duration. The Plan shall be effective as of the date of its approval by the Board of the Company (the “Effective Date”). The Plan shall continue until terminated by the Board.  The Board may terminate this Plan at any time.

 

2.2           Tax Withholding. All distributions under the Plan are subject to withholding of all applicable taxes, and the Committee may condition the delivery of any payments under the Plan on satisfaction of the applicable withholding obligations.

 

2.3           Transferability. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, Awards under the Plan are not transferable except as designated by the Participant by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

 

2.4           Agreement With Company. The terms and conditions of any Award to any Participant may be reflected in a written document, either  in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or in such other form as may be determined by the Committee (as so determined, an “Award Agreement”). A copy of the Award Agreement may be provided to the Participant, and the Committee may, but need not,
require that the Participant sign a copy of the Award Agreement.

 

2.5           Action by Company or Subsidiary. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Company shall be by resolution of the Committee (except for such actions as are delegated by this Plan to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer).

 

2.6           Limitation of Implied Rights. Neither a Participant nor any other person shall, by reason of participation in the Plan, acquire any right in or title to any assets, funds or property of the Company whatsoever, including, without limitation, any specific funds, assets, or other property which the Company, in its sole discretion, may set aside in anticipation of a liability under the Plan. A Participant shall have only a contractual right to the amounts, if any, payable under the Plan, unsecured by any assets of the Company
and nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guarantee that the assets of the Company shall be sufficient to pay any benefits to any person. The Plan does not constitute a contract of employment, and selection as a Participant will not give any participating employee the right to be retained in the employ of the Company nor shall it give any non-employee any rights to retain any relationship with the Company, nor shall any Participant have any right or claim to any benefit under the Plan, unless such right or claim has been granted and specifically accrued under the terms of the Plan.

 

 

SECTION 3

(b)           Any interpretation of the Plan by the Committee and any decision made by it under the Plan is final and binding on all persons.

Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of a stock exchange, the Committee may allocate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to any one or more of its Members and may delegate all or any part of its responsibilities and powers hereunder, including without limitation, the power to designate Participants hereunder and determine the amount, timing and terms of Awards hereunder, to any person or persons selected by it, including without limitation, any executive
officer of the Company. Any such allocation or delegation may be revoked by the Committee at any time.

 

3.4           Information to be Furnished to Committee. The Company shall furnish the Committee with such data and information as it determines may be required for it to discharge its duties. The records of the Company as to an employee’s or Participant’s employment, termination of employment, leave of absence, reemployment and compensation shall be conclusive unless the Committee determines such records to be incorrect.

information as the Committee considers desirable to carry out the terms of the Plan.
