The sale of the Stock and execution of the New Lease ("Initial Closing") shall occur on or before Noon on December 1, 2002 ("Initial Closing Date") at Aura's headquarters at 2335 Alaska Avenue, El Segundo, California, unless mutually extended or terminated by either party in writing, as follows: A. Following execution of this Agreement, Aura and Purchaser shall request LaSalle's (as defined in Section 2.1.C) consent to the transfer of the Stock to Purchaser and execution of the New Lease by executing and delivering the form of transfer request attached hereto as Exhibit "C" and Aura shall pay any transfer fees imposed by LaSalle (provided, however, in no event shall Aura be obligated to pay any transfer fees in excess of an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note (as defined in Section 2.1.C)) and Purchaser shall execute such documents and instruments in the form reasonably required by LaSalle, including any substitute indemnity and guaranty agreements required by LaSalle to release Aura from its indemnity and guaranty obligations under the Secured Loan (as defined in Section 1.2). Aura and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other and shall provide LaSalle with all information reasonably requested by LaSalle to obtain LaSalle's consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Aura will remain liable to LaSalle under that certain Environmental Indemnity Agreement dated June 3, 1998 and the Guaranty of Recourse Obligations of Borrower dated June 3, 1998 until such consent and release has been obtained from LaSalle. B. Purchaser agrees to purchase and Aura agrees to sell one hundred percent (100%) of the Stock for the net sum (the "Purchase Price") of Two Million Two Hundred Sixty-Six Thousand Seven Hundred Forty-Three and 03/100 Dollars ($2,266,743.03), less (i) the down payments and the closing and document preparation costs for which Purchaser is entitled to a credit in accordance with Section 3.1 (which shall therefore reduce the cash portion of the Purchase Price to be paid by Purchaser at the Initial Closing) and (ii) the security deposits (the "Security Deposits") and the holdback (the "Holdback") that are required as security for the performance of Aura's obligations (which shall be paid at the Initial Closing Date by Purchaser to Aura in lawful money of the United States). Purchaser has delivered to Aura an initial down payment of $878,750.00 to be credited towards the Purchase Price. C. On the Initial Closing Date (except as provided otherwise below), Aura shall execute the following documents: (i) a promissory note (the "Aura Note") in the form of Exhibit "H"; (ii) an assignment for security purposes (the "Alpha Assignment") in the form of Exhibit "D" of Alpha Ceramics, Inc.'s ("Alpha") payment obligations under that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of February 29, 2000, between Alpha, as Buyer, Aura Ceramics Inc., as Seller, and Aura, as Stockholder (as amended from time to time, the "Alpha Agreement"); (iii) a pledge (the "Pledge") in the form of Exhibit "I" of the Security Deposits and the Holdback in the aggregate amount of $481,806.50 (collectively, the "Cash Collateral"); (iv) an endorsement (in blank) to Purchaser of the transfer of the Stock; (v) the New Lease; (vi) within five (5) business days after the Initial Closing Date, all books and records of Aura Realty in Aura's possession; and (vii) a corporate resolution of Aura authorizing this transaction. Purchaser may file a UCC-1 Financing Statement to perfect its security interest in the Alpha Assignment and the Cash Collateral and Aura will execute such documents and perform such acts as Purchaser shall reasonably request to perfect such security interest. At the Initial Closing, and in exchange for the payment of the Purchase Price to Aura, Aura shall deliver the Stock to Purchaser, endorsed in blank to Purchaser. In addition, within seven (7) business days after the Initial Closing Date, Aura shall cause Purchaser to be named as an additional insured under any existing insurance policies maintained by Aura with respect to the Real Property. D. If LaSalle consents to the transfer of Stock, the Aura Note shall be cancelled and returned to Aura and 100% of the Stock will be delivered to Purchaser. If LaSalle does not consent, the Aura Note shall be delivered to Purchaser and 49.9% of the Stock shall be deemed to have been delivered to Purchaser at the Initial Closing 1.2. Refinancing; Second Closing. If LaSalle does not consent to the transfer of Stock, Purchaser and Aura shall exercise their best commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a refinancing of Aura Realty's existing loan (the "Secured Loan"), as evidenced by the Note, which Note is secured by the Deed of Trust (as defined in Section 2.1.C) encumbering the Real Property, as soon as reasonably possible after July 31, 2003 but no later than eighteen (18) months after the Initial Closing Date, on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Aura and Purchaser. Aura shall pay all reasonable costs to obtain the refinancing, such as any customary refinancing fees and points, documentation fees and title insurance, and any prepayment penalties and charges required by LaSalle as a result of the refinancing. All proceeds from the refinancing shall first be applied to prepayment of the Secured Loan, and any remaining proceeds from the refinancing after the prepayment of the Secured Loan shall, in the following order, be (i) applied to reimburse Aura for the payment of costs incurred to obtain the refinancing, such as any customary refinancing fees and points, documentation fees and title insurance, and (ii) delivered to Purchaser. None of the monies received from the refinancing shall be used to pay any prepayment penalties or other charges in connection with the prepayment of the Secured Loan. When Aura Realty refinances the Secured Loan and the Secured Loan is repaid in full, (i) Aura shall sell and Purchaser shall acquire the remaining shares of the Stock (the "Second Closing"), and concurrently Purchaser shall cancel and return the Aura Note in consideration for the transfer and receipt of the remaining shares of the Stock; (ii) Aura and Aura Realty shall terminate the existing lease agreement by and between Aura Realty and Aura for the Real Property (the "Aura Existing Lease"), the New Lease shall become effective and concurrently Aura shall either reaffirm the Alpha Assignment and the Pledge of the Cash Collateral as security for the New Lease or provide Aura Realty with the Substitute Additional Security (as defined in Section 1.4); and (iii) Aura shall deliver the remainder of the Stock to Purchaser, properly endorsed to Purchaser. The cancellation and return of the Aura Note is the full and only consideration to be paid by Purchaser for the remaining shares of the Stock transferred to Purchaser. 1.3. Execution of the New Lease. At the Initial Closing, Aura Realty and Aura shall execute the New Lease and make the payments as required and set forth in the New Lease. The New Lease shall provide for (i) monthly base rent of $1.09 per square rentable foot (i.e., a monthly base rent of $81,806.50) and (ii) a ten (10) year term with early termination options on the third (3rd), fifth (5th) and eighth (8th) anniversaries of the New Lease commencement date upon payment of a termination fee equal to one (1) year's base rent if exercised on the third (3rd) anniversary of the New Lease commencement date or six (6) month's base rent if exercised on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the New Lease commencement date or three (3) month's base rent if exercised on the eighth (8th) anniversary of the New Lease commencement date. If LaSalle does not consent to the transfer of Stock to Purchaser, the effective date of the New Lease shall be the date of the Second Closing, and Aura shall make net monthly payments to Purchaser on or before the first (1st) day of each calendar month in the total aggregate amount of approximately $30,332 plus the interest-only payments due under the Aura Note. Any monthly payment due from Aura that is more than ten (10) days late shall be subject to a five percent (5%) late fee. The Aura Note will (a) have a maturity date of no later than eighteen (18) months after the Initial Closing Date, (b) provide for such 5% late fee if the monthly payments are more than ten (10) days late and (c) be secured by the Pledge. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if LaSalle does not consent to the transfer of Stock to Purchaser, Purchaser shall not claim that any payments are due and payable by Aura under the Aura Existing Lease nor be entitled to receive any payments that may become due and payable under the Aura Existing Lease. 1.4. Additional Security. At the Initial Closing, Aura will provide Purchaser with additional security to secure Aura's performance of certain obligations in the form of the Alpha Assignment and the Pledge of the Cash Collateral. Aura acknowledges that as of August 1, 2002, the payment obligations of Alpha under the Alpha Agreement are approximately $2.3 million consisting of deferred monthly amortizing payments in the aggregate amount of $2,100,000 (approximately $30,332 per month) and an additional $200,000 payment due on September 30, 2007. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the transfer of 100% of the Stock to Purchaser, Aura shall have the right to substitute $670,000 in cash as the additional security (the "Substitute Additional Security") in lieu of the Alpha Assignment and receive a termination and release of the Alpha Assignment. If, after the transfer of 100% of the Stock to Purchaser, (i) Aura has substituted $670,000 in cash as the Substitute Additional Security and (ii) Aura has reported two (2) consecutive quarters with breakeven cash flow from Aura's operations as reported on its form 10Q or 10K filed with the SEC, the Substitute Additional Security shall be reduced to $270,000 and Purchaser shall release $400,000 of the Substitute Additional Security to Aura within five (5) business days after written notice thereof to and confirmation by Purchaser. If Aura reports three (3) consecutive quarters with breakeven cash flow from Aura's operations as reported on its form 10Q or 10K filed with the SEC, the Substitute Additional Security shall be further reduced from $270,000 to $100,000 and Purchaser shall release an additional $170,000 of the Substitute Additional Security to Aura within five (5) business days after written notice thereof to and confirmation by Purchaser. If Aura reports net positive cash flow from Aura's operations as reported on its form 10K filed with the SEC in total for any four (4) rolling quarters, the Alpha Assignment shall be terminated or the Substitute Additional Security shall be reduced to $0 and Purchaser shall release all of the Substitute Additional Security to Aura, as the case may be, within five (5) business days after written notice thereof to and confirmation by Purchaser. Upon Aura's satisfaction of the above, Purchaser shall execute such documents as are reasonably required to evidence the termination and release of the Alpha Assignment within five (5) business days after written notice thereof to Purchaser. If Aura raises additional capital in the aggregate amount of not less than $2,000,000 through the sale of equity or from a source other than the Alpha Agreement or this Agreement, Purchaser shall release the Holdback to Aura within three (3) business days after issuance by Aura of a press release to that effect. If LaSalle does not consent to the transfer of the Stock, the Alpha Assignment and the Pledge of the Cash Collateral shall secure Aura's obligation to transfer the remaining balance of the shares of the Stock on the date of the Second Closing at which time the Alpha Assignment and the Pledge of the Cash Collateral shall secure Aura's performance under the New Lease, subject to Aura's rights under this Section 1.4. In addition, until Aura transfers the remaining balance of the shares of Stock to Purchaser, (a) the monthly $30,332 payment payable by Alpha under the Alpha Agreement shall be deposited by Alpha directly into a separate account established by Aura at a bank reasonably selected by Purchaser, (b) such bank will be irrevocably instructed to sweep the monthly payment immediately upon deposit into a separate account established by Purchaser at the same bank, and (c) Purchaser shall credit Aura $30,432 (which amount includes a $100 interest credit to Aura because the sweep will occur approximately 15 days prior to the date that Aura's monthly payment is due under Section 1.3 above) against Aura's monthly payment obligation due under Section 1.3 above. 1.5. Facility Inspection. Aura shall allow Purchaser or its representative to conduct a complete facility inspection at Purchaser's sole cost and expense. Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold Aura, Aura Realty, LaSalle and the Real Property harmless from any and all claims, causes of action, costs, liabilities and damages associated with or arising from Purchaser's inspection and entry onto the Real Property. Purchaser shall name Aura, LaSalle and Aura Realty as additional insureds on Purchaser's commercial general liability policy. Aura shall be responsible for making (i) any required roof repairs and electrical repairs (in order for the facility's electrical system to comply with the applicable building code) to the facility within ninety (90) days after the Initial Closing Date, (ii) any required HVAC repairs to the facility within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Initial Closing Date and (iii) any other required repairs to the facility within twelve (12) months after the Initial Closing Date. After Aura has completed the HVAC repairs set forth in (ii) above, Aura shall, (a) at Aura's sole cost and expense, obtain a maintenance service contract, in customary form and substance, for the HVAC and (b) be responsible for any other HVAC repairs to the facility in an amount not to exceed $5,000 per year. Purchaser shall not be liable for any damages resulting from Aura's failure to timely complete any of the repairs set forth in (i), (ii) or (iii) above. 1.6. Subscription. Purchaser shall subscribe to purchase no less than 13,725,490 shares of Aura's common stock for the sum of $1,050,000.00. Purchaser has already advanced to Aura $1,050,000 toward the $1,050,000 subscription sum prior to the Initial Closing and Aura has issued to Purchaser all of the appropriate shares of Aura's common stock against such advance of cash. Purchaser shall also have the option until the Initial Closing to subscribe to purchase additional shares of Aura's common stock for up to an additional sum of $500,000.
