| Re: | | All American Pet Company Inc. |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This will memorialize our various discussions and conversations about the obligations of the All American Pet Company Inc. (“AAPC”), to George LaCapra (“Mr. LaCapra”) under the Loan Agreement, dated April 27, 2004 (collectively the “Loan Agreement”).
As we have discussed, AAPC has been seeking sources of investment or financing for its business and has asked Mr. LaCapra to restructure his entitlements under the Loan Agreement. Based on representations made concerning (a) the viability of AAPC and (b) the lack of available alternative sources of funds, Mr. LaCapra is willing to restructure his interests and entitlements under the Loan Agreement to allow AAPC to enter into a transaction with United California Factors (“UCF”) under which AAPC is expected to factor its accounts and its receivables to UCF.
In connection with and to allow the UCF transaction to occur, and upon the consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, LaCapra, AAPC, hereby agree as follows:
| 1. | | AAPC will enter into an Agreement with UCF whereby AAPC will factor its receivables and will obtain production financing from UCF (the “UCF Agreement”). Bershan and Schwartz shall personally guarantee the UCF Agreement if and to the extent required by UCF. LaCapra will not guarantee the UCF Agreement. |
| 2. | | Upon receipt of a copy of the executed UCF Agreement and his approval of its terms, LaCapra will enter into an Intercreditor Agreement with UCF under which he will subordinate his interest in certain of the collateral granted to him by AAPC in connection with the Loan Agreement as more particularly provided in that Intercreditor Agreement. |
| 3. | | LaCapra will accept full and final payment in the total amount of $250,000.00 in satisfaction of his entitlements under the Loan Agreement upon full and complete compliance,time being of the essence, with the following: |
| | a) | | Payment Schedule and due dates: |
| | | | | | | | | |
| (i) | | April 30, 2005 | | $ | 5,000.00 | |
| (ii) | | May 31, 2005 | | $ | 5,000.00 | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| (iii) | | June 30, 2005 | | $ | 5,000.00 | |
| (iv) | | July 31, 2005 | | $ | 10,000.00 | |
| (v) | | August 31, 2005 | | $ | 15,000.00 | |
| (vi) | | September 30, 2005 | | $ | 210,000.00 | |
| | b) | | In addition to payment as above provided, AAPC, will immediately upon request provide to LaCapra, at no cost to LaCapra, such financial information and records as he may from time to time request including but not in any way limited to the sales numbers, pending orders, amounts receivable, amounts payable, contract expectancies, amounts outstanding or amounts paid to UCF, trial balances and general ledgers. LaCapra does not hereby restrict the type or the amount of financial information he may obtain and request from the corporation by virtue of the foregoing recitation. |
| 4. | | After AAPC’s full compliance with the foregoing, LaCapra will (a) return any Promissory Note evidencing any obligation from AAPC to LaCapra marked “Paid.” |
| |
| 5. | | Except as specifically modified by the terms of this Agreement, the Loan Agreement is not affected hereby and shall remain in full force and effect. Nothing herein shall be construed to impair LaCapra’s security under the Loan Agreement nor to limit or impair any rights or powers that LaCapra now enjoys or may hereafter enjoy under the Loan Agreement for recovery of the indebtedness secured thereby except as expressly modified herein. |
| |
| 6. | | The Loan Agreement is hereby ratified and confirmed by AAPC, and every provision, covenant, warranty, representation, condition, obligation, right and power contained in and under the Loan Agreement as amended and modified, shall continue in full force and effect, affected by this Agreement only to the extent of the amendments and modifications expressly set forth herein. AAPC, individually and collectively affirm that (a) there exists no defense to the enforcement of the Loan Agreement and executes the within agreement intending to be legally bound thereby and (b) each has received good and valuable consideration in connection with the present agreement. |
| |
| 7. | | The covenants and agreements herein set forth shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. |
| |
| 8. | | The consummation of the transactions hereby contemplated and the performance of the obligations of AAPC, Bershan and/or Schwartz under the Loan Documents, as amended hereby, will not result in the breach of, or constitute default under, any mortgage, security deed, deed of trust, lease, bank loan or credit agreement, trust agreement or other instrument to which AAPC, Bershan and/or Schwartz is a party or by he may be bound or affected. |
| |
| 9. | | This agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Connecticut. |
| |
| 10. | | This agreement may be signed in counterparts. |
In witness whereof, the parties put their hands and seals intending to be bound hereby.
