In consideration for the assets, the Company at the closing paid to Ringtone.com $6,250,000 in cash, offset by $1,500,000 in acquired net working capital for a net cash outlay of $4,750,000. In addition, the Company delivered to Ringtone.com a convertible promissory note (the “Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1,750,000, which accrues interest at a rate of 10% per annum (provided that from and after an event of default, the Note will bear interest at a rate of 15% per annum). The Note matures on the earliest to occur of (i) July 1, 2009, (ii) when declared due and payable by Ringtone.com upon the occurrence of an event of default (as defined in the Note), or (iii) 5 days after the Company gives written notice to Ringtone.com of its intent to prepay the Note (the “Maturity Date”). The Note is optionally convertible by Ringtone.com on the Maturity Date into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $5.42 per share. The payment of principal and interest on the Note is subject to certain recoupment provisions contained in the Note and in the Agreement. In connection with the sale of the assets, Ringtone.com and W3i agreed not to sell ringtones on a subscription basis for a period of three years.

EX-2.1 2 v119237_ex2-1.htm
ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT
 
This Asset Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into on June 30, 2008, by and between New Motion, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“New Motion”), Ringtone.com, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (“Ringtone.com”), and, solely with respect to Sections 7(a), 7(c), 7(d), 8, 9(g) and 9(i), W3i Holdings, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company, the only member of Ringtone.com (“W3i”). New Motion and Ringtone.com are referred to collectively herein as the “Parties.
 
This Agreement contemplates a transaction in which New Motion will purchase substantially all of the assets except cash (and assume certain of the liabilities) of Ringtone.com in return for cash and a convertible note.
 
Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises herein made, and in consideration of the representations, warranties, and covenants herein contained, the Parties agree as follows.
 
SECTION 1. BASIC TRANSACTION.
 
(a) Purchase and Sale of Assets. On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, New Motion agrees to purchase from Ringtone.com, and Ringtone.com agrees to sell, transfer, convey, and deliver to New Motion, all of the Acquired Assets at the Closing, including all Accounts Receivable as of June 1, 2008, for the consideration specified below in this Section 1.
 
(b) Assumption of Liabilities. On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, New Motion agrees to assume and become responsible for all Assumed Liabilities at the Closing, including all Accounts Payable as of June 1, 2008. New Motion will not assume or have any responsibility, however, with respect to any other Liability of Ringtone.com not included within the definition of Assumed Liabilities.
 
(c) Purchase Price. New Motion agrees to pay to Ringtone.com at the Closing Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000) (the “Purchase Price”). At the Closing, New Motion will deliver (i) a signed promissory note (the “New Motion Note”) in the form of Exhibit 2(c) attached hereto in the aggregate principal amount of $1,750,000.00 and (ii) cash for the balance of the Purchase Price payable by wire transfer. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties intend the New Motion note be treated as a deferred payment under Code Section 453.
 
(d) Accounts Receivable/Accounts Payable True-up.
 
(i) Included within the Acquired Assets are all Accounts Receivable and included within the Assumed Liabilities are all Accounts Payable. The Parties have agreed that Purchase Price is based on an estimated Net Working Capital amount of $1,500,000 calculated as of June 1, 2008. To the extent estimated Net Working Capital, as of June 1, 2008, as set forth on Schedule 1(d), is in excess of $1,500,000, New Motion shall pay at the Closing such excess to Ringtone.com and to the extent estimated Net Working Capital, as calculated below, is less than $1,500,000, Ringtone.com shall pay at the Closing such shortfall to New Motion.
 
(ii) On September 30, 2008, or if later, when New Motion collects all disclosed Accounts Receivable, New Motion shall deliver to Ringtone.com a statement which sets forth a calculation of actual Net Working Capital, as of June 1, 2008, which reflects any True-up Payments (as defined below).
 


(iii) To the extent actual Net Working Capital is in excess of the estimated Net Working Capital set forth on Schedule 1(d), New Motion shall pay such excess to Ringtone.com and to the extent actual Net Working Capital, is less than the estimated Net Working Capital, Ringtone.com shall pay such shortfall to New Motion. In addition, Ringtone.com shall remit to New Motion any amounts it collects with respect to the acquired Accounts Receivable (or other Acquired Assets) and New Motion shall reimburse Ringtone.com for any amounts Ringtone.com pays with respect to the assumed Accounts Payable (or other Assumed Liabilities). The payments required by this Section 1(d)(iii) are hereinafter referred to as the “True-up Payments” which may be offset against each other.
 
(iv) New Motion shall provide Ringtone.com with copies of or access to all work papers and supporting documentation relating to the preparation of the calculation of actual Net Working Capital and the True-up Payments as may be reasonably requested by Ringtone.com, including reasonable access to all of New Motion’s accounting records and personnel, including without limitation, all accounts receivable, cash receipts, collection records, cash disbursements and accounts payable records for the purpose of determining the accuracy of New Motion’s calculation of Net Working Capital.
 
(v) On or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day following New Motion’s delivery to Ringtone.com of the calculation of actual Net Working Capital and the True-up Payments, Ringtone.com may deliver to New Motion a written notice stating Ringtone.com’s objections (an “Objection Notice”) to the calculation of actual Net Working Capital and the True-up Payments, which shall specify in reasonable detail the dollar amount of any objection and the basis therefore and Ringtone.com’s calculation and determination of actual Working Capital and the True up Payments. If Ringtone.com does not give New Motion an Objection Notice within such 30-day period, then the calculation of actual Net Working Capital provided by New Motion and the True-up Payments will be conclusive and binding upon the Parties.
 
(vi) In the event that New Motion and Ringtone.com fail to agree on the actual Net Working Capital and True-up Payments within thirty (30) days after New Motion receives the Objection Notice (the “Agreement Period”), (i) New Motion and Ringtone will retain a mutually agreeable firm of certified public accountants (the “Independent Auditors”) to make the final determination of the actual Net Working Capital in accordance with the terms of this Agreement within the 30-day period immediately following the Agreement Period, and (ii) New Motion and Ringtone.com each shall provide the Independent Auditors with their respective determinations of the actual Net Working Capital. The Independent Auditors shall consider only those items and amounts in New Motion’s and Ringtone.com’s respective determinations of the actual Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date that are identified as being items and amounts to which New Motion and Ringtone.com have been unable to agree. The Independent Auditors’ determination of the actual Net Working Capital and the True-up Payments shall be based solely on written materials submitted by New Motion and Ringtone.com. The determination of the Independent Auditors shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties for all purposes hereunder. The fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Auditors shall be allocated to New Motion and/or Ringtone.com based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each Party bears to the amount actually contested by such Party, as determined by the Independent Auditors. By way of illustration, if New Motion claims before the Independent Auditors that the determination of actual Net Working Capital is $1,000,000, and Ringtone.com claim before the Independent Auditors that the determination of actual Net Working Capital is $1,500,000, and if the Independent Auditors ultimately resolve the dispute by awarding New Motion $300,000 of the $500,000 difference, then the costs and expenses of the Independent Auditors will be allocated 60% (i.e., 300,000 ÷ 500,000) to Ringtone.com and 40% (i.e., 200,000 ÷ 500,000) to New Motion.
 
2

 
(vii) Adjustment Payment. Any True-up Payments required to be made under this Section 1(d) shall be made by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the receiving party within ten (10) days after the determination of the actual Net Working Capital and the True-Up Payments.
 
(e) Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Stubbs, Alderton & Markiles, LLP, in Sherman Oaks, California commencing at 12:00 p.m. local time on June 30, 2008 or such other date as the Parties may mutually determine (the “Closing Date”).
 
(f) Deliveries at Closing. At the Closing, (i) Ringtone.com will deliver to New Motion the various certificates, instruments, and documents referred to in Section 5(a) below; (ii) New Motion will deliver to Ringtone.com the various certificates, instruments, and documents referred to in Section 5(b) below; (iii) Ringtone.com will execute, acknowledge (if appropriate), and deliver to New Motion (A) assignments (including Intellectual Property transfer documents) in the forms attached hereto, and (B) such other instruments of sale, transfer, conveyance, and assignment as New Motion and its counsel may reasonably request; (iv) New Motion will execute, acknowledge (if appropriate), and deliver to Ringtone.com (A) assumptions in the form attached hereto and (B) such other instruments of sale, transfer, conveyance, and assumption as Ringtone.com and its counsel may reasonably request; and (v) New Motion will deliver to Ringtone.com the consideration specified in Section 1(c) above.
 
(g) Allocation. Within 60 days after the Closing Date, New Motion shall prepare an allocation of the Purchase Price (and all other capitalized costs) among the Acquired Assets in accordance with Code Section 1060 and the Treasury regulations thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local or foreign law, as appropriate). New Motion shall deliver such allocation to Ringtone.com, and Ringtone.com shall have the opportunity to review and comment on the proposed allocation. If Ringtone.com concurs with the proposed allocation, in writing, it shall be the final allocation. If Ringtone.com differs with the proposed allocation, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to arrive at a mutually agreeable allocation. If the parties agree on a final allocation, then they shall document their agreement in writing and New Motion, Ringtone.com, and their respective Affiliates shall file Tax Returns (including, but not limited to Internal Revenue Service Form 8594) consistent with the agreed upon allocation. Ringtone.com shall timely and properly prepare, execute, file and deliver all such documents, forms and other information as New Motion may reasonably request to prepare such allocation. Neither New Motion nor Ringtone.com shall take any position (whether in audits, tax returns or otherwise) that is inconsistent with such allocation unless required to do so by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, New Motion shall have the sole and absolute discretion to determine the allocation of Purchase Price (and all other capitalized costs) among the Acquired Assets for purposes of, and that will be used in, its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

SECTION 2. RINGTONE.COM’S WARRANTIES. Ringtone.com represents and warrants to New Motion that the statements contained in this Section 2 are correct and complete as of the date of this Agreement and will be correct and complete as of the Closing Date (as though made then and as though the Closing Date were substituted for the date of this Agreement throughout this Section 2) unless another date is specified, except as set forth in the disclosure schedule accompanying this Agreement (the “Disclosure Schedule”).

(d) Matters Involving Third Parties.
 
(i) If any third party notifies either Party (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter (a “Third-Party Claim”) that may give rise to a claim for indemnification against any other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Section 8, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify each Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying any Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is thereby prejudiced.
 
(ii) Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third-Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (A) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within 30 days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third-Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim, (B) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third-Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (C) the Third-Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (D) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third-Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, reasonably likely to establish a precedential custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests or the reputation of the Indemnified Party, and (E) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third-Party Claim in good faith.
 
(iii) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 8(d)(ii) above, (A) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim, (B) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld), and (C) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld), unless there is a complete release of the Indemnified Party specifically included in any settlement agreement. The Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party and its counsel with access to its records and personnel relating to any such claim, assertion, event or proceeding during normal business hours and shall otherwise cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense or settlement thereof.
 
In the event any of the conditions in Section 8(d)(ii) above is or becomes unsatisfied, or if the Indemnifying Party fails to defend or if, after commencing or undertaking any such defense, the Indemnifying Party fails to prosecute or withdraws from such defense, (A) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third-Party Claim in any manner it may reasonably deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, any Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), (B) the Indemnifying Parties will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third-Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), and (C) the Indemnifying Parties will remain responsible for any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third-Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Section 8.

(f) Recoupment Against New Motion Note. Any indemnification to which New Motion is entitled under this Agreement as a result of any Adverse Consequences it may suffer shall first be made by recouping the Adverse Consequences it may suffer by notifying Ringtone.com that New Motion is reducing first, the accrued interest outstanding on the New Motion Note, and second, if the indemnification to which New Motion is entitled exceeds such accrued interest then outstanding, the principal amount outstanding under the New Motion Note. Any reduction in the principal amount of the New Motion Note shall affect the timing and amount of payments required under the New Motion Note in the same manner as if New Motion had made a permitted prepayment (without premium or penalty) thereunder.
 
(g) Exclusive Remedy for Representations and Warranties. The foregoing indemnification provisions shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of a Party for all claims arising from this Agreement (other than a claim based on fraud, breach of the New Motion Note, or a breach or failure to perform any covenant or obligation hereunder) against the other Party pursuant to Sections 8(b)(i) or 8(c)(i), as applicable.

This Note was originally issued on June 30, 2008, and has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities act, and may not be sold or transferred in the absence of such registration or qualification or an exemption therefrom under the securities act or any such state securities laws that may be applicable. The sale or transfer of this Note is subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The issuer of this Note will furnish a copy of these provisions to the holder hereof without charge upon written request.

PROMISSORY NOTE

US$1,750,000.00
June 30, 2008

1. Principal and Interest.

(a)  FOR VALUE RECEIVED, New Motion, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Maker”), promises to pay in lawful money of the United States of America to the order of Ringtone.com, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (“Payee”), the total principal sum of One Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,750,000.00), with interest thereon until fully paid. This Note is being entered into pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) entered into on June 30, 2008, by and between Maker and Payee.

(b) This Note shall bear interest until paid at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum; provided, however, that from and after an Event of Default and written notice from the Payee to the Maker, this Note shall bear interest at fifteen percent (15%) per annum. Interest shall accrue from the date of this Note. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days and the actual number of days elapsed.

2. Maturity Date. 

On the earliest to occur of (i) July 1, 2009, (ii) when declared due and payable by the Payee upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below), or (iii) five (5) days after the Maker gives written notice to the Payee of its intent to prepay the Note (such earliest date, the “Maturity Date”), Payee, in its sole discretion may: (i) demand Maker to pay Payee the amount by which the principal amount of this Note plus accrued interest thereon (after reduction for Uncontested Setoff Amounts, if any, as described below) exceeds any Contested Amounts (as defined below) plus any amounts which Payee may contest pursuant to Section 3(c) below (the “Payoff Amount”), or, (ii) convert, in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 4, the Payoff Amount into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Maker’s common stock (the “Equity Interests”) at a conversion price equal to $5.42 per share (subject to adjustment for any stock splits or stock dividends). Upon payment in full, or conversion into Equity Interests, of all principal and interest payable hereunder, this Note shall be surrendered to the Maker for cancellation, and the Maker shall be forever released from all of its obligations and liabilities under this Note.
 

 
3. Setoff.

(a) At anytime or from time to time on or prior to the Maturity Date, Maker shall have the right to setoff against any amounts due Payee pursuant to this Note for Adverse Consequences (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) Maker, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors and employees may have suffered, which entitle Maker to indemnification under the Purchase Agreement. Such setoff will be first applied to reduce any accrued interest under this Note. Maker shall notify Payee prior to setting off such losses against amounts due Payee pursuant to this Note (such notification, the “Setoff Notice”). The Setoff Notice shall (i) state that Maker believes that there is or has been a breach of a representation or warranty contained in the Purchase Agreement or that Maker is otherwise entitled to indemnification under the Purchase Agreement, (ii) set forth the estimated amount of the Adverse Consequences claimed (the “Setoff Amount”) and (iii) include a summary of known, relevant facts with respect to the claim.

(b) If Payee does not contest a Setoff Notice in writing within thirty (30) days of the date of the Setoff Notice, Maker shall proceed with the setoff described in the Setoff Notice and the principal amount of this Note shall be automatically reduced in an amount equal to such uncontested Setoff Amount (the “Uncontested Setoff Amount”); provided, if Payee pays to Maker in cash (in immediately available funds) all or a portion of such Uncontested Setoff Amount within five (5) days following the determination of such Uncontested Setoff Amount, this Note shall not be reduced to the extent of such payment.

(c) If Payee gives written notice to Maker contesting all or a portion of the Setoff Notice within thirty (30) days of the date of the Setoff Notice (such notice, the “Dispute Notice” and the amount so contested the “Contested Amount”), the parties shall meet within ten (10) business days from the date of the Dispute Notice for the purpose of resolving the dispute. Any portion of a Setoff Notice that is not contested or is subsequently settled in Makers favor shall be treated as an Uncontested Setoff Amount.

(d) If the parties are unable to reach agreement with respect to the Contested Amount, at the time payment would otherwise be due to Payee pursuant to this Note, Maker shall deposit an amount in cash equal to the Contested Amount with a third party escrow agent designated by Maker, and reasonably acceptable to Payee, pending resolution of the dispute. Such escrow agent shall be based in the United States and shall be in the business of regularly providing escrow services. At the time the Contested Amount is placed into escrow, Maker, Payee and the escrow agent shall enter into an escrow agreement reasonably acceptable to the parties. The escrow agreement shall provide for the investment of the Contested Amount in accordance with the directions of Payee, so long as such directions are reasonably acceptable to Maker. Any accrued interest, earnings or income earned on such investment shall be added to the Contested Amount. Payee shall be responsible for any taxes on the interest, earnings or income related to the investment of the Contested Amount, provided, however, that Payee may request the escrow agent to release from escrow an amount equal to Payee’s tax obligation so long as the original Contested Amount remains intact. The Contested Amount shall be held by the escrow agent: (i) until receipt of a settlement agreement executed by Maker and Payee setting forth a resolution of the Contested Amount and the amount to be delivered to the parties; or (ii) until receipt of a written notice from a party attaching a copy of a judgment or an order of a court with proper jurisdiction specifying the release of the Contested Amount, or (iii) in the event that the indemnification claim, which formed the subject of the Setoff Notice related to a third party claim, then the Contested Amount will be released upon proof of settlement or payment in full, and related releases, of such claim, whichever of the foregoing events occurs first. Maker and Payee shall be equally responsible for the fees of the escrow agent. Maker shall not be responsible for and shall have no further obligation with respect to the payment of the Contested Amount, or interest thereon, pursuant to this Note once such amount is placed into escrow and Payee shall look solely to the escrow agent for payment of such amount. In accordance with the provisions of this Note, Payee may elect to convert into Equity Interests any Contested Amount it is ultimately entitled to receive by delivery of written notice to Maker during the five (5) day period following the resolution, judgment or determination of such Contested Amount.

As promptly as practicable after the conversion and surrender of this Note, the Maker, at its expense, will issue and deliver to the Payee of this Note a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Equity Interests issuable upon such conversion (bearing such legends as are required by applicable state and federal securities laws in the opinion of counsel to the Maker).

Atrinsic Acquires Ringtone.com

Adds 180,000 Subscribers, Accretive to Shareholders upon Close, Provides Platform to Support Ad-Supported Ringtone Model
 
July 2, 2008
 
NEW YORK—(BUSINESS WIRE)—New Motion, Inc., doing business as Atrinsic (NASDAQ: NWMO - News), a premier Internet media and mobile entertainment company, today announced that it has acquired the assets of Ringtone.com, a popular mobile entertainment destination for downloadable mobile content and a highly valuable Internet domain which receives more than 1,000 signups per day.
 
Based on existing subscribers and historical retention rates, Ringtone.com is expected to generate a higher return on the company’s marketing investments than if it had organically acquired these customers during fiscal year 2008; subsequently, the company also expects to materially reduce its annual customer acquisition budget and reconfirms its 2008 pro forma guidance of $145 million to $160 million in revenue with adjusted EBITDA of $15 million to $20 million. Management expects to expand the use of the assets purchased from Ringtone.com from solely a subscription based model into a more flexible and robust business model with multiple revenue streams, including an ad-supported model.
 
Ringtone.com was a wholly-owned subsidiary of W3i Holdings, LLC, a provider of integrated desktop marketing and mobile marketing solutions, based in St. Cloud, Minnesota. Q Advisors, LLC acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Ringtone.com and W3i in connection with the transaction.
 
In consideration for the assets acquired, Atrinsic will pay W3i $6.25 million in cash, offset by $1.5 million in working capital for a net cash outlay of $4.75 million. In addition, W3i will receive a $1.75 million convertible note, with a 10% coupon and a term of one year. This note is optionally convertible by W3i into Atrinsic common stock at a 30% share price premium based on the average market price of Atrinsic’s common stock for the 10 trading days preceding the close of the transaction.
 
Burton Katz, the Company’s CEO, commented, “Ringtones are the historic growth driver behind worldwide mobile content sales. Over the past year and a half, there have been fundamental shifts in the subscription based business model supporting these services creating unique opportunities in a business continuing to see strong consumer demand. This accretive asset purchase enables us to re-enter the ringtone space, in what still represents an approximate $4 billion global business, with a low-cost platform that will leverage the popular ringtone.com domain and implement a new, ad-supported business model. This is an ideal transaction for Atrinsic and its shareholders, as it provides a favorable cost structure, creating an even more efficient customer acquisition method than the industry leading cost structure with which we acquire subscribers today. In this market, Atrinsic will continue to evaluate acquisitions which it believes will create shareholder value.”
