Capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms under the Loan Agreement.

("Purchaser"), pursuant to which Safariland intends to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser intends to purchase from Safariland, all of the Equity Interests of Vievu, for an aggregate cash consideration in an amount equal to $4,600,000, plus or minus the applicable adjustments under the Sale Documents (collectively, the "Cash Proceeds") and shares of Purchaser’s common stock with an aggregate value of $2,500,000, as determined pursuant to the Sale Documents. $1,300,000 of the Cash Proceeds (the "Escrowed Cash") will be placed in escrow pursuant to a certain Escrow Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the "Escrow Agreement").

In connection with the Vievu Sale Transaction, Safariland intends to enter into that certain Patent License Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (the "Patent License Agreement") and that certain Trademark License Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto (the "Trademark License Agreement").

 

In connection with the Vievu Sale Transaction, Obligors have requested that Agent and Lenders enter into this letter agreement and consent to (x) release Vievu from its duties and obligations under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (y) release Agent's Lien upon (i) the Equity Interests of Vievu, (ii) the patents listed on Annex I hereto, and (iii) all assets of Vievu, including, without limitation, all Collateral owned by Vievu (the assets referred to in the foregoing subclauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are collectively referred to herein as the "Released Assets"), in each case, upon consummation of the Vievu Sale Transaction.

 

The Vievu Sale Transaction is not permitted by, among other things, Section 10.2.6 of the Loan Agreement. Obligors have requested that Agent and Lenders consent to the Vievu Sale Transaction, notwithstanding such prohibitions.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Agent and Lenders are willing to consent to the Vievu Sale Transaction and enter into this letter agreement.

 

The parties also desire to amend the Loan Agreement as hereinafter set forth.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual conditions and agreements set forth in this letter agreement, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Lenders, Agent, and Obligors hereby agree as follows.

 

1.       Consent to Vievu Sale Transaction and License Agreements. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 hereof, Agent and Lenders consent to the Vievu Sale Transaction and the entering into of the Patent License Agreement and the Trademark License Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that Agent's Liens and security interests shall continue in Cash Proceeds received by such Obligor excluding the Escrowed Cash. Each Obligor represents and warrants to Agent and Lenders that, other than (x) the Liens of Agent to secure the Obligations, (y) the Liens of the Term Loan Agent to secure the Term Loan Debt, and (z) (1) statutory claims, if any, under applicable law related to the securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (2) claims, if any, by the Escrow Agent under (and as defined in) the Purchase Agreement or under the Escrow Agreement arising solely from its duties under the Escrow Agreement, and (3) claims and payments related to indemnification obligations and Earn-out Stock Payments arising under (and as defined in) the Purchase Agreement, the Released Assets are not subject to any Lien or claim that would require any Obligor under Applicable Law or any agreement to make any payment or deliver any portion of the Cash Proceeds received by such Obligor to any Person other than Agent and the Term Loan Agent in order to transfer and convey such assets to Purchaser free and clear of Liens.

 

(b)       Upon the satisfaction of each condition precedent set forth in Section 4 of this letter agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, and in furtherance of the foregoing, Agent agrees to deliver to Purchaser all powers (if any) with respect to any Equity Interests included in the Released Assets, and to file, at Obligors' expense, UCC termination statements with respect to Agent's UCC financing statements filed against Vievu and USPTO releases with respect to any filings with the USPTO against any of the Released Assets. Except for Agent's release of its Lien upon the Released Assets described above, Agent shall retain all of its Liens upon all other Collateral (including, without limitation, the net Cash Proceeds, but excluding the Escrowed Cash), and nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to create a novation or accord and satisfaction, and the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect with respect to all Obligors other than Vievu (each such Obligor other than Vievu being hereinafter referred to individually as a "Continuing Obligor" and collectively as "Continuing Obligors"). Each Continuing Obligor, Agent and each Lender acknowledge and agree that, after giving effect to the provisions of this letter agreement (including, without limitation, the foregoing provisions of this Section 2), each Continuing Obligor shall remain jointly and severally liable for all of the Obligations, whether arising prior to, on, or after the Effective Release Date, including, without limitation, the Obligations of Vievu arising prior to the Effective Release Date, and, for the avoidance of doubt, all indemnification obligations that may arise on or after the Effective Release Date in respect of any act or failure to act on the part of Vievu prior to the Effective Release Date.

 

(c)       Each Continuing Obligor hereby (i) consents to the release of Vievu as a "Borrower" and an "Obligor" under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (ii) acknowledges and agrees that (A) neither such release nor anything contained in this letter agreement shall modify in any respect whatsoever such Continuing Obligor's Obligations, covenants, duties, indebtedness and liabilities as a "Borrower" or a "Guarantor", as applicable, and "Obligor" under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, all of which are hereby ratified, reaffirmed and shall remain in full force and effect, (B) the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Continuing Obligor is a party are the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Continuing Obligor that are enforceable against such Continuing Obligor in accordance with the terms thereof, and (C) all security interests and Liens granted to or for the benefit of Agent, and all security interests and Liens upon the Collateral (other than the Released Assets) granted to Agent pursuant to the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents remain in full force and effect and secure all Obligations of each Continuing Obligor under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, all of which are hereby ratified and confirmed.
