This letter agreement is dated as of June 10, 2014 (the "Effective Date"). Subject only to approval of the transactions described herein by the board of directors of Net Element, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Nasdaq: NETE) ("NETE"), for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby covenant and agree as follows:

 

1.Effective as of the Effective Date, Mike Zoi shall resign as director and/or officer of NETE and any of its affiliates. In addition, as soon as practicable after the Effective Date (but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date), TGR Capital, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, an affiliate of Mike Zoi and a significant stockholder of NETE ("TGR"), shall assign and transfer to Beno Distribution, Ltd., a company organized and existing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“Beno”), such number of restricted shares of common stock of NETE currently owned by TGR that would equal fourteen percent (14%) in the aggregate of the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock of NETE (on a fully diluted basis except no warrants issued by NETE shall be counted or taken into consideration in computing such fully diluted basis) as of the Effective Date (the "TGR Share Transfer").

 

2.In consideration of such resignation, NETE hereby agrees and covenants to cause all of the shares of NETE common stock held by each of TGR and MTZ Fund, LLC, a Delaware limited company and an affiliate of Mike Zoi (“MTZ”), immediately after the TGR Share Transfer to be registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on Form S-3 registration statement (or on Form S-1 registration statement if NETE is ineligible to register its shares on Form S-3) by using NETE’s best reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be filed with the SEC not later than sixty (60) days from the date of the TGR Share Transfer and declared effective by the SEC as soon as practically possible after such filing. NETE hereby agrees that, if any of the provisions of this paragraph 3 of this letter agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached (e.g., if the registration statement is not filed with the SEC and/or not declared effective due to direct fault of NETE), irreparable damage would occur, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine, and that TGR and MTZ shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.

 

 
 

 

3.In connection with the TGR Share Transfer (the shares transferred pursuant to the TGR Share Transfer are referred to as the "Shares"), Beno, on its own behalf and on behalf of his respective affiliated entities (if any), hereby provides to NETE and TGR the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit A hereto.

 

4.NETE hereby agrees that, on the Effective Date, NETE shall pay off the Amex credit card with a number ending with 0-91002, issued in the name of Mike Zoi, charges in the amount of US $77,128.00 (Seventy-Seven Thousand One Hundred Twenty-Eight U.S. Dollars only). Upon Amex confirmation of such payment, Mike Zoi, on his behalf and on behalf of his affiliates (including, but not limited to, Enerfund), hereby agrees that he shall not have any further claims against NETE for any other payment to him and his affiliates (including, but not limited to, Enerfund).

 

This letter agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings pertaining thereto. No party hereto may, without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, assign or otherwise transfer, in whole or in part, any of its rights and obligations under this letter agreement. Except as expressly provided for herein, nothing in this letter agreement shall confer any rights upon any person that is not a party hereto or the successor or permitted assignee of a party to this letter agreement. This letter agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Copies of executed counterparts transmitted by telecopy or other electronic transmission service shall be considered original executed counterparts.

Exhibit A

 

Investment Representations and Warranties

 

As a condition to the TGR Share Transfer to Beno, Beno, on its own behalf and on behalf of its affiliated entities (each, an “Investor”), hereby represents and warrants to NETE and TGR as follows:

 

Investor acknowledges that the issuance and transfer to it of the shares of common stock of NETE representing the Shares has not been reviewed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities regulatory authority because such transaction is intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and applicable state securities laws.
