Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

March 31, 2005

 

1. Basis of Presentation

 

Avatech Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) provides design automation and data management software, hardware, training, technical support and professional services to corporations, government agencies and educational institutions throughout the United States.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules or regulations. The interim financial statements are unaudited, but reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals), which are, in management’s opinion, necessary to present a fair statement of results of the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. Operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period.

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Avatech Solutions, Inc. and its majority owned subsidiaries. One of the Company’s subsidiaries had issued convertible preferred stock, which was accounted for as minority interest until its conversion into common stock of Avatech Solutions, Inc. on November 19, 2004. All intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and its consolidated affiliated companies have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

2. Discontinued Operations of Certain Operating Segments

 

The Company closed certain offices in calendar year 2003 due to poor operating results. These locations were authorized software dealers subject to the Company’s channel partner agreement with its principal supplier. By virtue of these closings, the Company is no longer authorized to market or distribute software products subject to the channel partner agreements in those areas.

 

The Company has accounted for these closures as discontinued operations, and accordingly, the results of operations of these offices are reported as a separate component of net income (loss) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

As permitted by Statement 123, the Company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and, as such, generally recognizes no compensation cost for employee stock options. In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of Statement 123. Statement 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees and directors to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values, using prescribed option-pricing models. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission deferred the date of required adoption of Statement 123(R) no later than the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005, or July 1, 2005 for the Company. Upon adoption of Statement 123(R), pro forma disclosure will no longer be an alternative to financial statement recognition. Accordingly, the adoption of Statement 123(R)’s fair value method will have a significant impact on our results of operations, although it will have no impact on our overall financial position. The impact of adoption of Statement 123(R) cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future.

 

The Company intends to continue to use the Black Scholes option pricing valuation model for determining the fair value of share-based payments to employees. The Company also intends to adopt provisions under Statement 123(R) using the modified prospective method. Had we adopted Statement 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of the standard would have approximated the impact of Statement 123 as described in the disclosures above. Statement 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption.

 

4. Borrowings Under Line-of-Credit

 

The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary maintains a $3.0 million revolving line of credit limited to 85% of the Company’s aggregate outstanding eligible accounts receivable, payable within 60 days of demand by the lender, and expiring in September 2006. Borrowings under this line-of-credit bear interest at the greater of 7.5%, or the prime rate plus 2.0% (7.75% at March 31, 2005) and are secured by the assets of the Company. In addition, the bank has the right to restrict any prepayment of other indebtedness by the Company.

4. Borrowings Under Line-of-Credit (continued)

 

The balance outstanding under this line-of-credit was $1,640,180 and $2,690,206 at June 30, 2004 and March 31, 2005, respectively. Because the interest rate adjusts with changes in the prime rate, the estimated fair value of the borrowings under the lines of credit are equal to the carrying amount.

 

On October 28, 2004, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary entered into a loan agreement with the bank to provide for a $700,000 revolving credit facility expiring on October 28, 2005. Borrowings under this credit facility bear interest at the greater of 7.5%, or the prime rate plus 2.0%, (7.75% at March 31, 2005), and are secured by the assets of the Company and the guaranties of the Company and the Chairman of the Board of Directors. In December 2004, the Company paid the Chairman of the Board of Directors a commitment fee of $28,000 and issued warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock for $0.35 per share in consideration for a guarantee of the line-of-credit through October 28, 2005. The estimated fair value of the warrants of $34,136 was determined using a generally accepted option valuation model.

 

On April 30, 2005, the Company borrowed against the $700,000 credit facility with the bank. These borrowings violated a covenant in the loan agreement with a software vendor (see Note 5), which prohibits the Company from incurring additional “funded debt” or liens on the Company’s assets without the lender’s consent. On May 4, 2005, the borrowings under the $700,000 credit facility were reduced to zero, thereby curing the covenant breach. The Company received no notice from the lender regarding this temporary breach of the covenant, and therefore, there was no “event of default” under the loan agreement. Management does not anticipate any further drawings under this credit facility.

 

5. Long-Term Debt

 

On July 22, 2003, the Company entered into a loan agreement with a software vendor to fund working capital needs related to the distribution of their products. The terms of the agreement provide for a $1.5 million loan, with repayment of principal plus interest accruing at 6% per annum due in thirty-five equal quarterly installments commencing in January 2005. At March 31, 2005, the principal balance outstanding was $1,467,100.

 

The Company is required to meet certain financial and non-financial covenants in connection with this agreement. A financial covenant exists that limits the outstanding balance on the revolving line-of-credit to $2.0 million. The Company has obtained a waiver from the software vendor to allow borrowings under the line-of-credit up to $3.0 million through May 31, 2005. Because the Company cannot determine it is probable that they will maintain compliance with this covenant after May 31, 2005, or obtain additional waivers if needed, the debt has been classified as a current liability at March 31, 2005.

(1) For the nine months ended March 31, 2004, dilutive loss per common share is equal to basic loss per common share because if potentially dilutive securities were included in the comparison, the result would be anti-dilutive. These potentially dilutive securities consist of convertible preferred stock, stock options and warrants.

 

As of March 31, 2005, 4,404,509 shares of common stock were issuable upon the conversion or exercise of options, warrants and preferred stock.

7. Income Taxes

 

Income tax expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 and 2005 was $32,000 and $21,000, respectively. Due to cumulative net operating loss carryforwards in excess of net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2005, income tax expense related solely to estimated state and local tax expense.

 

8. Subsequent Events

 

On April 8, 2005, the Company acquired all of the assets of Comtrex Corporation. The purchase price for the acquired assets was the assumption of liabilities of $592,136. Comtrex was an authorized Autodesk reseller with offices in Greensboro, Charlotte, and Morrisville, North Carolina, with an established customer base of manufacturing, building design, engineering, educational, and utilities software end users. The Company hired 14 employees formerly employed by Comtrex.

 

The fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition are:

 

Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $41,000

   $ 221,802

Inventory

     17,795

Prepaid expenses and other current assets

     23,271

Other current liabilities

     100,116

Notes payable

     177,343

9. Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company has incurred significant operating losses since inception that have depleted capital resources and caused deficiencies in available working capital. At March 31, 2005, the Company has a deficiency of working capital of approximately $4.2 million.

 

The Company expects its operating results to continue to improve in the near term as a result of revenue increases from new product and service offerings, improved productivity from sales and service professionals, and efforts to reduce costs of products and certain operating expenses. Management expects to generate positive operating income for the remainder of fiscal year 2005.

 

The Company maintains a $3.0 million demand line of credit with a bank that expires in September 2006, and although borrowings under this line of credit are classified as current due to the demand provisions of the credit agreement, management does not expect the bank to demand repayment prior to the line’s expiration date.

 

Management is currently negotiating modifications to the covenants in the loan agreement with a software vendor. As discussed in Note 5, the software vendor has consented to an increase in the permitted borrowings under the bank line of credit from $2 million to $3 million through May 31, 2005. If the Company does not reach an agreement to permanently increase the authorized borrowings under this line of credit or obtain consent to a further extension of this increase beyond May 31, 2005, the Company would be limited to a maximum of $2 million of borrowings under the line of credit. In such event, the Company would be required to repay the software vendor loan with the proceeds of borrowings from another lender, or pay down the line of credit to $2 million and keep the balance below $2 million prospectively. Management is currently taking action to borrow funds to repay the debt to the software vendor and permanently increase the Company’s borrowing limit to $3 million or more. There can be no assurance that these actions will be successful. Due to this uncertainty, the entire amount of the $1,467,100 loan balance has been classified as current debt at March 31, 2005.

 

On January 26, 2005, the Company received $1.9 million in cash from the sale of its rights to a proprietary software product called Proof Positive. These rights were sold to Autodesk Inc. and significantly improved the Company’s cash position. The Company’s revenue is concentrated in the sale of Autodesk products, as it relies on Autodesk to supply approximately 90% of product sales. Additionally, management believes that working capital needs will continue to stabilize in the remainder of fiscal 2005 and that near-term needs over the next twelve months can be met from available cash resources, cash flows from operations, and the bank line of credit.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE RELATED NOTES THERETO INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT, AND THE COMPANY’S AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS REPORTED IN THE FORM 10-K FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2004.

 

Certain statements in this report constitute “forward-looking statements”. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risk, uncertainties and other factors including, but not limited to, those discussed in our annual and quarterly reports, that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may generally be identified by the use of the words “may”, “will”, “believe”, “should”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “estimates”, and similar expressions. Given these uncertainties, investors and prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

Overview

 

Avatech Solutions is a leading provider of design automation, product data management, and facilities management products and services for the manufacturing, building design, engineering, governmental, educational, and utilities markets in the United States. We specialize in systems integration, technical support, training, and consulting services, with a view toward improving design, documentation, and data management efficiencies in the workflow process.

 

Our strategy is to continue to grow our core business as an Autodesk reseller, continue to diversify our product offerings, increase professional services as a percentage of total revenue, and expand sales of products and services, and our geographic penetration, through acquisitions of companies that fit this strategy, and through the opening of new offices. We expect to show profitable operating results with positive operating income on revenues of $32-34 million for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005. Our goals for fiscal 2006, if met, will generate positive operating income on revenues of $40-45 million, and we hope to reach revenue levels of $100 million by fiscal 2008 through organic growth of our existing lines of business and targeted acquisitions.

 

We have developed a Research and Development team within our professional services group that is charged with the responsibility of developing tools for our customers that facilitate workflow processes involving the software products we sell, and new products that complement and enhance the features of those software products. This team was instrumental in preparing Proof Positive, a software product we acquired as a result of our merger with PlanetCAD, Inc. in 2002, for sale to our major vendor, Autodesk, Inc. It is our intention to develop other products for sale to our customers and to third-party software vendors. Consistent with this objective, in April 2005 we announced the release of Vault Access, which allows users of Autodesk’s Inventor software to access, view, and print data in Vault, an Autodesk data management software application.

 

Recent Developments

 

In January 2005, we completed the sale to Autodesk, Inc. of Proof Positive, a software product developed by PlanetCAD, Inc., which we acquired in 2002. Net proceeds of the sale were $1.9 million, and are reported as revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Except as noted, the financial data set forth below presents results of continuing operations only.

 

In February 2005, we entered into a new Channel Partner Agreement with Autodesk, Inc., our major vendor. The new agreement provides significantly enhanced opportunities to increase our margins on product sales. We are aggressively seeking to maximize all of the opportunities in the new agreement with Autodesk to increase revenue and profitability.

Table of Contents

On April 8, 2005, we acquired for $592,136 of assumed liabilities, all of the assets of Comtrex Corporation (“Comtrex”). An authorized Autodesk reseller with offices in Greensboro, Charlotte, and Morrisville, North Carolina, Comtrex had developed a strategy similar to ours by emphasizing service offerings in connection with the sale of Autodesk products. We have hired 14 employees formerly employed by Comtrex. We expect this acquisition to increase revenue by approximately $3 million on an annual basis, and to be accretive to earnings in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 and in succeeding periods.

 

On March 31, 2005, we became an authorized reseller of Autodesk’s new product data management application known as ProductStream, and we immediately qualified for growth funds to help fund our investment in new resources, primarily employees and marketing initiatives, to capitalize on this new product offering.

 

Since July of 2002, we have been an authorized reseller of Dassault Systemes’ SmarTeam PLM solution. In connection with our agreement to become an authorized SmarTeam reseller, Dassault loaned us a total of $1.5 million in 2003 and provided certain reimbursements of funds spent by us in developing a SmarTeam practice. Avatech has had success in selling these solutions and developing this market and has become one of Dassault’s largest resellers in their direct sales channel. Currently, we are evaluating our relationship with Dassault, and the viability of Avatech’s continued investment in the development of Dassault’s product lifecycle management market.

 

During fiscal 2003 and in August 2003, we closed certain offices due to operating performance issues. These office locations were authorized software dealer subject to a channel partner agreement with our principal suppliers. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, the results of operations of these operating units were treated as discontinued operations, and reported as a separate component of operating results in our consolidated statements of operations. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are from continuing operations. We have included in Note 2 – Discontinued Operations of Certain Operating Segments to the Consolidated Financial Statements a more comprehensive discussion about our discontinued operations.

 

Product Sales. Our product sales consist primarily of the resale of design automation, product data management, and facilities management software programs that are installed on a user workstation, on a local area network server, or in a hosted environment. The programs perform a wide variety of functions related to design, modeling, drafting, mapping, rendering, and data and facilities management. We are one of the largest domestic resellers of design automation software developed by Autodesk, one of the world’s leading design software and digital content companies. Approximately 90% of our total product revenues are related to Autodesk products.

 

Service Revenue. We provide services in the form of training, technical support, and professional services. Our training offerings consist of education classes at our training facilities or directly at customers’ sites. Our class instructors are application engineers who have formal training or industry experience in the course content. In the quarter ended March 31, 2005, 11 individuals were certified as Inventor Certified Experts by Autodesk, Inc, elevating our proficiency level to deliver service to the industry.

 

We provide technical support services primarily through our telephone support center located in Omaha, Nebraska. Through our staff of full time consultants, we provide assistance to customers making inquiries concerning the software products that we sell to them.

 

We also provide project-focused professional consulting services through our application engineers and programmers, as well as software customization, data migration, computer aided design standards consulting, workflow analysis, and implementation assistance for complex software products.

 

Commission Revenue. We generate commission revenue from the resale of Autodesk software to various customers, a number of which Autodesk considers to be “strategic accounts.” Autodesk designates these customers as strategic accounts based on specific criteria, primarily sales volume, and typically gives these customers volume discounts. We manage and resell Autodesk products to a number of these strategic account customers, although the product is shipped directly from Autodesk to the customers. We receive commissions upon shipment of the product from Autodesk to the customer. We also report software subscription revenues as commission revenue. We record subscription sales net of cost.

Table of Contents

Cost of Product Sales. Our cost of product sales consists of the cost of purchasing products from software suppliers or hardware manufacturers. Additionally, we include the associated shipping and handling costs in cost of product sales.

 

Cost of Service Revenue. Cost of service revenue includes the direct costs associated with the implementation of software and hardware solutions as well as the direct costs of providing training, support services, and professional services. These costs consist primarily of compensation, benefits, travel, and the costs of third-party sub-contractors engaged by us. Cost of service revenue does not include an allocation of overhead costs.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense consists primarily of compensation and other costs associated with management, finance, human resources, and information systems. Additionally, advertising and public relations expense, as well as expenses for facilities such as rent and utilities, are included in selling, general and administrative expense.

 

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense represents the period costs associated with our investment in property and equipment, consisting principally of computer equipment, software, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements. Depreciation and amortization expense is computed using the straight-line method. Additionally, we lease all of our facilities and depreciate leasehold improvements over the lesser of the lease term or the useful life of the asset.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense consists primarily of interest on our accounts receivable line-of-credit, our debt to Dassault Systemes, and subordinated debt, which we incurred to fund operations over the past three years.

Revenues. Our total revenues increased $702,101 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. For the three months ended March 31, 2005, revenues in all of three categories – product, service, and commission revenues – increased.

 

For the nine months ended March 31, 2005, our total revenues increased $1,907,211. There were significant increases in product, service, and commission revenues during the period. The increase in product revenues during the three and nine month period was attributable in part to a newly formed, regional sales management structure that helped refocus the sales force, the addition of new sales people, and increased cooperation between us and Autodesk, Inc.

 

Service revenues increased $200,057 or 15.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Service revenues for the nine month period ended March 31, 2005 increased $178,471 or 4.4% over the same period last year. This increase is largely attributable to increased hiring in the services area of our business and a realignment of existing personnel. We remain focused on recruiting and retaining highly qualified professional service personnel and expect to initiate marketing programs in the remaining three months of fiscal 2005 to stimulate demand for our service offerings, especially in the areas of open enrollment and customized training classes.

 

Commission revenue steadily increased throughout the first nine months of fiscal 2005. Compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year, we reported commission revenue increases of $192,440, or 13.6%, in the three months ended March 31, 2005, and increases of $475,534, or 12.9% for the first nine months of fiscal 2005. We were able to capitalize on industry-wide increases in demand for Autodesk products due to an improving economy and the retirement of Autodesk software version 2000i. Additionally, subscription revenue, which is reported net of cost as commission revenue, was 36% higher than the previous fiscal year because of both greater market demand for Autodesk products and the improved management of our sales force.

Cost of revenues. Compared to the same period last fiscal year, our total cost of revenues increased $3,854, or 0.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2005. For the first nine months of fiscal 2005, our total cost of revenues increased $217,935, or 1.7%, from the same nine month period in fiscal 2004. These increases in cost of revenues were attributable to increased revenues and expansion of our service workforce, offset by decreases in cost of product sales due to higher vendor rebates.

 

Our cost of product sales in the three months ended March 31, 2005 decreased $299,942, or (8.6)%, from the same period in the last fiscal year. Our largest vendor, Autodesk, provides “earnback” incentives in the form of rebates on the cost of products to encourage its distributors to attain sales goals set by Autodesk. We met or exceeded the majority of our Autodesk sales goals in this fiscal year and as a result, our earnbacks were appreciably higher than the same period in fiscal 2004. The last quarter of fiscal 2005 is not expected to show such marked increases in earnbacks, despite favorable changes in how our earnbacks are calculated effective with the February 1, 2005 distribution agreement with Autodesk.

Table of Contents

For the nine months ended March 31, 2005, our cost of product sales decreased by $110,317, or 1.1%. Our product sales during this same period in fiscal 2005 increased $1,253,206, or 9.1%. The earnbacks for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 increased, thereby positively affecting cost of product sales because earnbacks are recorded as a reduction of cost of sales. In addition, we achieved higher margins on product sales as a result of increased sales into vertical Autodesk markets, such as manufacturing.

 

Our cost of service revenue increased by $244,443, or 26.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2005 over the same three month period in fiscal 2004. For the nine months ended March 31, 2005, our cost of service revenue increased by, $268,899, or 8.9%, compared to the same nine month period in fiscal 2004. These increases can be attributed to higher service revenues and to higher subcontracting costs on service projects, which increased $323,000 for the nine month period. Increases in cost of service revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2005 were partially offset by reductions in non-billable travel expenses for delivery of services totaling $57,000. As we shift personnel resources internally to meet our customers’ needs and increase utilization of newly hired billable service employees, we expect our costs as a percentage of service revenue to decrease in the near future.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. In the three months ended March 31, 2005, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $821,670, or 27.7%, over the same three month period in our last fiscal year. For the nine months ended March 31, 2005, these expenses increased $2,238,164, or 27.5%, over the same period in fiscal 2004. We added sales and support employees, and paid higher commission compensation, while incurring additional marketing, travel, and facilities expenses in fiscal 2005. During the nine months ended March 31, 2004, our PLM vendor provided $732,000 to fund costs associated with the development of our PLM practice, but we received no additional funding after the end of fiscal 2004. Additionally, in fiscal 2005, we hired more employees in the areas of field sales, regional sales management and executive management. These staffing increases resulted in an increase of $1,080,000 in employee compensation and benefits for the nine month period. Also during the nine month period ended March 31, 2005, there were increases of $291,000 in marketing costs and $173,000 in travel expenses, offset by a reduction of $166,000 in professional fees.

 

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $12,447 or 15.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. For the nine months ended March 31, 2005, these expenses decreased $3,033, or 1.3%, from the same period in fiscal 2004. Depreciation and amortization expenses of property and equipment decreased as a result of a significant increase in the number of fully depreciated assets compared to the prior period. We did not make significant equipment purchases for several years due to operating losses sustained in recent years. We have made investments in our computer software and equipment over the past nine months and we intend to increase those investments in the near future if funds are available from operations or additional investment capital; therefore, we expect our depreciation and amortization expenses will begin to increase over time as we acquire new equipment.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2005, the net expense total increased $45,030, or 12.4%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2004. This increase is attributable primarily to higher interest expense on higher outstanding debt, offset partially by lower dividends paid to minority interest preferred stockholders as a result of the conversion of their stock into Avatech Solutions, Inc. common shares.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased $6,826 or 63% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. We accrued $10,821, or 34%, less income tax expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in fiscal 2004. Our tax expense relates solely to state and local income taxes. Because we have significant net operating loss carry forwards, we do not expect to pay federal income taxes for the foreseeable future.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Historically, we have financed our operations and met our capital expenditure requirements primarily through cash flows provided by operations and borrowings under short-term and long-term debt arrangements, and the sale of preferred stock. During the nine months ended March 31, 2005, we incurred negative cash flow from operating activities of $823,884, despite net income before non-cash charges of $1,527,782, which is attributable principally to increased working capital needs to fund increased operations and the timing of cash payments to vendors and suppliers.

 

Our operating assets and liabilities consist primarily of accounts receivable, accounts payable, and inventory. Changes in these balances are affected principally by the timing of sales and investments in inventory based on expected customer demand. We minimize inventory level through arrangements with suppliers to ship products with an average delivery period of two days and centralized inventory management. We purchase approximately 90% of our products from one principal supplier, Autodesk, which provides us with the ability to purchase up to $3 million of products under 30 day payment terms.

Table of Contents

Our investing activities consist principally of investments in computer and office equipment, totaling $347,748 during the nine months ended March 31, 2005. If funds from operations are sufficient, or if additional investment capital becomes available, we intend to make additional investments in our infrastructure during the remainder of fiscal 2005. If neither occurs, we will defer these capital expenditures to future years.

 

Our financing activities consisted primarily of net borrowings under our line-of-credit, partially offset by the payment of dividends to preferred shareholders, debt service on our $1.5 million loan from Dassault, payments of principal on subordinated notes, and the payment of financing costs related to our lines-of-credit. Our lines-of-credit balances increased in part to fund repayment of past due accounts payable, which were high due to operating losses sustained in the first quarter of the current fiscal year. The borrowings were also used to fund purchases of inventory for sale to customers.

 

Current liabilities at March 31, 2005 include $2,690,206 of borrowings under a $3.0 million line-of-credit from a bank. Borrowings under this line-of-credit bear interest at the higher of 7.5% or the prime rate plus 2.0% and are limited to 85% of eligible accounts receivable. This line-of-credit expires in September, 2006 and is payable within 60 days of demand and is secured by substantially all of our assets. At March 31, 2005, we had $2,690,206 outstanding under this line of credit. On April 5, 2005, we also renewed a $0.7 million line-of-credit with the bank, which expires on October 28, 2005. This line of credit, which bears interest at the greater of 7.5% or the prime rate plus 2% (7.75% at March 31, 2005), is guaranteed by our Chairman of the Board and is also secured by substantially all of our assets. At March 31, 2005, we had no outstanding borrowings under this line of credit.

 

On July 22, 2003, we entered into a loan agreement with Dassault to borrow $1.5 million for working capital purposes. The loan agreement requires repayment of principal plus interest at 6% per annum in thirty-five equal quarterly installments beginning in January, 2005. We must meet certain financial and non-financial covenants in connection with this agreement. Our loan agreement with Dassault limits borrowings under our accounts receivable credit facility to $2.0 million.

 

On April 30, 2005, we drew against our $700,000 credit facility to fund inventory stocking orders with Autodesk, Inc. These borrowings violated a covenant in our loan agreement with Dassault which prohibits us from incurring additional “funded debt” or liens on our assets without Dassault’s consent. On May 4, 2005, we reduced borrowings under the $700,000 credit facility to zero, thereby curing the covenant breach. We received no notice from Dassault regarding this temporary breach of the covenant, and therefore there was no “event of default” under the loan agreement. Any future borrowings under the $700,000 line of credit while our loan from Dassault is outstanding will violate these covenants, and if Dassault were to give notice to us of the existence of a covenant violation and we were unable to cure the violation within 30 days of receiving such a notice, then Dassault could demand immediate repayment of all principal and accrued interest, which as of March 31, 2005 was $1,467,099.55. We do not anticipate any further drawings under this credit facility.

 

Our ability to meet our daily cash flow needs is impacted by our borrowing base of eligible accounts receivable, as calculated under our revolving line-of-credit agreement. An account receivable is not eligible (and not included in our borrowing base) if the account receivable is 90 days or greater past due, if we have deferred the related revenue, or if the account arises from a sale to a government agency. At March 31, 2005, there were $343,975 of ineligible accounts receivable related to deferred revenues, past due accounts and other ineligible balances. Our day sales outstanding were 45 as of March 31, 2005, which is lower than the previous four quarters’ average of 49 days. Our customary collection terms are 30 days for all of our customers and management is the process of implementing new credit and collection policies, which we anticipate will improve our cash flow.

 

Our existing outstanding indebtedness restricts our ability, among other things, to incur additional debt, repay certain other debt, pay dividends, and make certain investments, mergers or acquisitions. In addition, we cannot declare dividends or incur additional debt without the written approval from our lenders, which significantly restricts our ability to raise additional capital. Our ability to receive the necessary approvals is largely dependent upon our relationship with our lenders.

 

We currently are negotiating modifications to the covenants in our loan agreement with Dassault, and Dassault has consented to an increase in our permitted borrowings under our accounts receivable line of credit to $3 million through May 31, 2005 while these negotiations are ongoing. Should we not reach agreement with Dassault to permanently increase our authorized borrowings under this line of credit from

Table of Contents

$2 million to $3 million, or if Dassault does not consent to a further extension of this increase beyond May 31, 2005, we would be limited to a maximum of $2 million of borrowings under the line of credit, which would have a material adverse effect on our working capital and liquidity. In such event, we would be required to discharge our indebtedness to Dassault with the proceeds of borrowings from another lender. We are currently in discussions with several lending institutions and institutional investors to borrow funds to discharge our indebtedness to Dassault and permanently increase our borrowing limit to $3 million or more. There can be no assurance that these negotiations will be successful. Due to this uncertainty, the entire amount of our indebtedness to Dassault has been characterized as short-term indebtedness on our March 31, 2005 balance sheet.

 

Our outstanding debt totaled $5.2 million at March 31, 2005, and we had a deficiency of working capital of $4.2 million. Our deficiency of working capital is in large part caused by the classification of our line-of-credit as a current liability due to its demand provisions. Despite the existence of the 60-day demand provision on our line-of-credit, we do not believe it is likely that the bank will exercise the demand provisions of the agreement. If the bank exercises the demand provisions in our existing line-of-credit and we are unable to replace the line, our continuing operations will be materially adversely affected. However, we have been successful in prior years in obtaining funding through banks without having sustained positive operating results. Although there can be no assurance that we will be able to replace the line-of-credit, if the bank exercises the demand provisions in our existing line-of-credit, we believe that other lenders would provide us with a line-of-credit with similar terms, as long as our financial position and results of operations have not significantly declined.

 

On January 26, 2005, we received $1.9 million in cash proceeds from the sale of a proprietary software product (Proof Positive) to our principal supplier, Autodesk Inc., which significantly improved our cash position. We believe that our working capital needs will continue to stabilize in the remainder of fiscal 2005 and that our near-term needs can be met from our available cash resources, cash flows from operations, and our accounts receivable line of credit. However, our revenue is concentrated in the sale of Autodesk products, and we rely on Autodesk to supply us with the products that we sell. The agreement permitting us to distribute Autodesk products must be renewed annually, and our current agreement expires on February 1, 2006. We believe that our relationship with Autodesk is good and we have successfully renewed this agreement each year of our operating history. Accordingly, we cannot readily predict our ability to generate sufficient cash from our operations to meet our obligations beyond the next twelve months. Further, if our operating results decline and we are unable to generate cash flows from our operations in the near term, we may be unable to meet our existing obligations in the normal course of business and expand our operations to allow for continued long-term improvement in operating results.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates associated with our variable rate line-of-credit facility. At March 31, 2005, approximately 51.5% of our outstanding debt bears interest at variable rates. Accordingly, our earnings and cash flow are affected by changes in interest rates. Assuming our current level of borrowings at variable rates and assuming a 100 basis point changes in the fiscal 2005 average interest rate under these borrowings, we estimate that our fiscal 2005 interest expense and net income would have changed by less than $40,000. In the event of an adverse change in interest rates, management would likely take actions to further mitigate this exposure. However, due to the uncertainty of the actions that would be taken and their possible effects, the analysis assumes no such actions. Further, the analysis does not consider the effects of the change in the level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is accumulated and communicated to management in a timely manner. Our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer have evaluated this system of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, and believe that the system is effective. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Principal Amount: $700,000.00   Initial Rate: 7.500%   Date of Agreement: April 5 , 2005

 

DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS. Original Promissory Note dated 10/28/2004 in the original amount of $700,00.00 amended on 12/21/04 between Avatech Solutions Subsidiary, Inc. and K Bank.

 

DESCRIPTION OF COLLATERAL. All Inventory, Chattel Paper, Accounts, Equipment and General Intangibles.

 

DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE IN TERMS. 1. The maturity date of this Note has been extended until October 15, 2005.

 

2. Due to the extension of the maturity date, the bank will require the borrower to pay monthly interest payments, due consecutively on the 15th of each month.

 

All other terms and conditions of the Original Note and Original Loan Documents remain in full force and effect.

 

PROMISE TO PAY. Avatech Solutions Subsidiary, Inc. (“Borrower”) promises to pay to K Bank (“Lender”), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of Seven Hundred thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($700,000.00) or so much as may be outstanding, together with interest on the unpaid outstanding principal balance of each advance. Interest shall be calculated from the date of each advance until repayment of each advance.

 

PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in one payment of all outstanding principal plus all accrued unpaid interest on February 15, 2005. Unless otherwise agreed to or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest; then to principal; then to any unpaid collection costs; and then to any late charges. Interest on this Agreement is computed on a 365/360 simple interest basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. Borrower will pay Lender at Lender’s address shown above or at such other place as lender may designate in writing.

 

VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Agreement is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an independent index which is the Wall Street Prime rate (the “Index”). The index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by the Lender on its loans. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute index after notice to Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current index rate upon Borrower’s request. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each day. Borrower understands that Lender may take loans based on other rates as well. The index currently is 5.500% per annum. The interest rate to be applied to the unpaid principal balance of the Note will be at a rate of 2.000 percentage points over the index, adjusted if necessary for any minimum and maximum rate limitations described below, resulting in an initial rate of 7.500% per annum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the variable interest rate or rates provided for in the Note will be subject to the following minimum and maximum rates. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on the Note be less than 7.500% per annum or more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.


PREPAYMENT. Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower or Borrower’s obligation to continue to make payments. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked “paid in full”, “without recourse”, or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender’s rights under this Agreement, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including ay check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes “payment in full” of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: K Bank, 7F GWYNNS MILL COURT, OWINGS MILLS, MD 21117.

 

LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 10 days or more late, Borrower will be charged 5.000% of the regularly scheduled payment or $100.00, whichever is greater.

 

INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, at Lender’s option, and if permitted by applicable law, Lender may add any unpaid accrued interest to principal and such sum will bear interest therefrom until paid at the rate provided in this Agreement (including any increased rate). Upon default, Lender, at its option, may, if permitted under applicable law, increase the variable interest rate on this Agreement to 4.000 percentage points over the index. The interest rate will not exceed the maximum permitted by applicable law.

 

DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement:

 

Payment Default. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under the Indebtedness.

 

Other Defaults. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any of the Related Documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower.

 

Default in Favor of Third Parties. Borrower defaults under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of Borrower’s property or Borrower’s ability to perform Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement or any of the Related Documents.

 

False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower’s behalf under this Agreement or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either nor or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.

 

Insolvency. The dissolution or termination of Borrower’s existence as a going business, or a trustee or receiver is appointed for Borrower or for all or a substantial portion of the assets of Borrower, or Borrower makes a general assignment for the benefit of Borrower’s creditors, or Borrower files for bankruptcy, or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against Borrower and such involuntary petition remains undismissed for sixty (60) days.

 

Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, Agreement of even date, so that repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the Indebtedness. This includes a garnishment of any of Borrower’s accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in any amount determined by lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.

 

Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or any Guarantor dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any Guaranty of the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note.


Change in Ownership. Any change in ownership of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the common stock of Borrower.

attorneys’ fees; expenses. Subject to any limits under applicable law, upon default, Borrower agrees to pay Lender’s attorneys’ fees and all of Lender’s other collection expenses, whether or not there is a lawsuit, including without limitation legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings.

 

JURY WAIVER. LENDER AND BORROWER EACH HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO WHICH LENDER OR BORROWER MAY BE PARTIES, ARISING UT OF, OR IN ANY WAY PERTAINING TO, THIS AGREEMENT. IT IS AGREED THAT THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OF ALL CLAIMS AGAINST ALL PARTIES TO SUCH ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS. THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE BY LENDER AND BORROWER, AND LENDER AND BORROWER EACH HEREBY REPRESENT THAT NO REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT OR OPINION HAVE BEEN MADE BY ANY INDIVIDUAL TO INDUCE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR TO IN ANY WAY MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS EFFECT.

Borrower hereby releases, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all errors and all rights of exemption, appeal, stay of execution, inquisition, and other rights to which Borrower may otherwise be entitled under the laws of the United States or of any state or possession of the United States now in force and which may hereafter be enacted. The authority and power to appear for and enter judgment against Borrower shall not be exhausted by one or more exercises thereof or by any imperfect exercise thereof and shall not be extinguished by any judgment entered pursuant thereto. Such authority may be exercised on one or more occasions or from time to time in the same or different jurisdictions as often as Lender shall deem necessary or desirable, for all of which this Agreement shall be a sufficient warrant.

 

DISHONORED ITEM FEE. Borrower will pay a fee to Lender of $28.00 if Borrower makes a payment on Borrower’s loan and the check with which Borrower pays is dishonored on the second presentment.

 

RIGHT OF SETOFF. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a right of setoff in all Borrower’s accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account). This includes all accounts Borrower holds jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open in the future. However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for which setoff would


be prohibited by law. Borrower authorizes Lender, to th extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the indebtedness against any and all such accounts, and, at Lender’s option, to administratively freeze all such accounts to allow Lender to protect Lender’s charge and setoff rights provided in this paragraph.

 

LINE OF CREDIT. This Agreement evidences a revolving line of credit. Advances under this Agreement may be requested only in writing by Borrower or as provided in this paragraph. All communications, instructions, or directions by telephone or otherwise to lender are to be directed to Lender’s office shown above. The following persons currently are authorized to request advances and authorize payments under the line of credit until Lender receives from Borrower, at Lender’s address shown above, written notice of revocation of their authority: Christopher D. Olander, Exec. V.P. of Avatech Solutions Subsidiary, Inc, Donald R. Walsh, Chief Exec Officer; Karen L. Strayer, Tax and Compliance Mgr.; and Catherine Dodson, Controller. Borrower agrees to be liable for all sums either: (A) advanced in accordance with the instructions of an authorized person or (B) credited to any of Borrower’s accounts with Lender. The unpaid principal balance owing on this Agreement at any time may be evidenced by endorsements on this Agreement or by Lender’s internal records, including daily computer print-outs. Lender will have no obligation to advance funds under this Agreement if: (A) Borrower or any guarantor is in default under the terms of this Agreement or any agreement that Borrower or any guarantor has with Lender, including any agreement made in connection with the signing of this Agreement; (B) Borrower or any guarantor ceases doing business or is insolvent; (C) any guarantor seeks, claims or otherwise attempts to limit, modify or revoke such guarantor’s guarantee of this Agreement or any other loan with Lender; or (D) Borrower has applied funds provided pursuant to this Agreement other than those authorized by Lender.

 

CONTINUING VALIDITY. Except as expressly changed by this Agreement, the terms of the original obligation or obligations, including all agreements evidenced or securing the obligation(s), remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Consent by Lender to this Agreement does not waive Lender’s right to strict performance of the obligation(s) as changed, nor obligate Lender to make any future change in terms. Nothing in this Agreement will constitute a satisfaction of the obligation(s). It is the intention of Lender to retain as liable parties all makers and endorsers of the original obligation(s), including accommodation parties, unless a party is expressly released by Lender in writing. Any maker or endorser, including accommodation makers, will not be released by virtue of this Agreement. If any person who signed the original obligation does not sign this Agreement below, then all persons signing below acknowledge that this Agreement is given conditionally, based on the representation to Lender that the non-signing party consents to the changes and provisions of this Agreement or otherwise will not be released by it. This waiver applies not only to any initial extension, modification or release, but also to all such subsequent actions.

 

GUARANTORS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. The undersigned Guarantors hereby acknowledge that the Note evidencing the indebtedness of Avatech Solutions Subsidiary, Inc. to K Bank, the same dated 10/28/2004 and to which they are Guarantors, has been modified by this Change in Terms Agreement of even date, so that the aforesaid note, which is the subject of the Guaranty is the same as that attached hereto.

 

CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. Borrower irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State of Maryland over any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that Borrower may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Final judgment in any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower and may be enforced in any court in which Borrower is subject to jurisdiction by a suit upon such judgment provided that service of process is effected upon Borrower as provided in this Agreement or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.

 

SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Subject to any limitations stated in this Agreement on transfer of Borrower’s interest, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties, their heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns. If ownership of the Collateral becomes vested in a person other than Borrower, Lender, without notice to Borrower, may deal with Borrower’s successors with reference to this Agreement and the Indebtedness by way of forbearance or extension without releasing Borrower from the obligations of this Agreement or liability under the indebtedness.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. If any part of this Agreement cannot be enforced, this fact will not affect the rest of the Agreement. Borrower does not agree or intend to pay, and Lender does not agree or intend to contract for, charge, collect, take, reserve or receive (collectively referred to herein as “charge or collect”), any amount in the nature of interest or in the nature of a fee for this loan, which would in any way or event (including demand, prepayment, or acceleration) cause Lender to charge or collect more for this loan than the maximum Lender would be permitted to charge or collect by federal law or the law of the State of Maryland (as applicable). Any such excess interest or unauthorized fee shall, instead of anything stated to the contrary, be applied first to reduce the principal balance of this loan, and when the principal has been paid in full, be refunded to Borrower. Lender may delay or forgo enforcing any o fits rights or remedies under this Agreement without losing them. Borrower and any other person who signs, guarantees or endorses this Agreement, to the extent allowed by law, waives presentment, demand for payment, and notice of dishonor. Upon any change in the terms of this Agreement, and unless otherwise expressly stated in writing, no party who signs this Agreement, whether as maker, guarantor, accommodation maker or endorser, shall be released from liability. All such parties agree that Lender may renew or extend (repeatedly and for any length of time) this loan or release any party or guarantor or collateral; or impair, fail to realize upon or perfect Lender’s security interest in the collateral; and take any other action deemed necessary by Lender without the consent of or notice to anyone. All such parties also agree that Lender may modify this loan without the consent of or notice to anyone other than the party with whom the modification is made.

 

APPLICABLE LENDING LAW. This loan is being made under the terms and provisions of Subtitle 9 of Title 12 of the Maryland Commercial Law Article.

 

PRIOR TO SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, BORROWER READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE VARIABLE INTEREST RATE PROVISIONS. BORROWER AGREES TO THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT.

At any time during the two years following the Closing (the “Restricted Period”), except in the course of his employment pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement, neither Seller nor the Stockholders, all of whom have a material interest in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, will, directly or indirectly, engage in, invest in, own, manage, operate, finance, control, or participate in the ownership, management, operation, financing, or control of, lend its/his name or any similar name to, lend its/his credit to, any business whose services or activities are comparable to or compete in whole or in part with the business activities of Buyer or its Affiliates anywhere within the United States; provided, however, that Seller or the Stockholders may purchase or otherwise acquire up to (but not more than) one percent of any class of securities of any enterprise (but without otherwise participating in the activities of such enterprise) if such securities are listed on any national or regional securities exchange or have been registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

12.2. At any time during the Restricted Period, except pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement, neither Seller nor the Stockholders will, directly or indirectly, solicit, on behalf of any party other than Buyer or its Affiliates, business of the same or similar type being carried on by Buyer (or any of its Affiliates), from any person or entity who is or was a customer of Seller or Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates.

 

12.3. At any time during the Restricted Period, neither Seller nor the Stockholders will, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any party other than Buyer or its Affiliates, (i) solicit, employ, or otherwise engage as an employee, independent contractor, or otherwise, any person who is or was an employee of Buyer (or any of its Affiliates or in any manner induce or attempt to induce any employee of Buyer (or its Affiliates) to terminate his employment with Buyer (or its Affiliates), as the case may be; or (ii) interfere with Buyer’s (or any of its Affiliates’) relationship with any person, including any person who is or was (within the Restricted Period or the three years immediately preceding the Restricted Period) an employee, contractor, vendor, or supplier of Seller or Buyer or their respective Affiliates.

 

12.4. In the event of breach by Seller or the Stockholders of the terms of this Section, Buyer shall be entitled to institute legal proceedings to obtain damages for such breach, or to enforce the specific performance of this Agreement and to enjoin Buyer and the

 

15


Stockholders from any further violation of this Section and to exercise such remedies cumulatively or in conjunction with all other rights and remedies provided at law. Seller and the Stockholders acknowledge, however, that the remedies at law for any breach by any of them of the provisions of this Section may be inadequate. In addition, in the event the undertakings set forth in this Section shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of extending for too great a period of time or by reason of being too extensive in any other respect, each such agreement shall be interpreted to extend over the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable and to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable and enforced as so interpreted, all as determined by such court in such action.

 

13. Indemnification.

 

13.1. Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller and the Stockholders from and against any and all Losses (as hereinafter defined), to the extent such Losses arise out of, result from, or are in connection with: (i) any breach by Buyer of any of the terms of this Agreement, (ii) any failure of any warranty or representation of Buyer made herein, or (iii) any failure by Buyer to perform or comply with any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement.

 

13.2. Indemnification by Seller and the Stockholders. Seller and the Stockholders hereby agree to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers, agents and employees, from and against any and all Losses, to the extent such Losses arise out of, result from, or are in connection with: (i) any breach by Seller or any Stockholder of any of the terms of this Agreement, (ii) any failure of any warranty or representation of Seller or the Stockholders made herein, or (iii) any failure by Seller or any Stockholder to perform or comply with any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement.

 

13.3. For purposes of this Agreement, “Losses” shall mean the aggregate of any and all payments for claims, liabilities, suits, actions, demands, charges, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees and court costs) of every kind and nature incurred by the indemnified party, net of all reserves with respect to such item, insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment from third parties.

 

13.4. If any claim is made, or any suit or proceeding is instituted, which, if valid or prosecuted successfully would entitle a party to indemnification under this Section (a “Claim”), the indemnified party shall promptly give notice thereof to the others in writing. At the election of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall, at its own cost and expense, assume the defense of such Claim or participate either directly or through its counsel with the indemnified party in the resolution, by litigation or otherwise, of any Claim. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of such Claim, then the indemnifying party shall have control over the defense of such Claim, including the choice of counsel, and the indemnified party may participate either directly or through its counsel in the defense at the sole cost and expense of the indemnified party. The indemnified party agrees to cooperate (and to cause parties within its control to cooperate) with the indemnifying party in determining the validity of any Claim or

 

16


assertion of any Losses including giving (and causing parties within its control to give) the indemnifying party full access to information within its possession. The indemnified party agrees that it will not (and will cause parties within its control not to) settle any Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party and to exercise its best efforts to avoid or minimize the Losses resulting from any Claim.

 

In the event of a breach of this Agreement by Seller or either Stockholder, Buyer’s obligations to pay to the Stockholders, or either of them, any amounts due under any contract or arrangement entered into in connection with this Agreement shall be terminated to the extent of the obligations of Seller or a Stockholder as the indemnifying party hereunder.

 

14. No Brokerage.

 

None of the parties hereto has incurred any obligation or liability, contingent or otherwise, for brokerage fees, finder’s fees, agent’s commissions, or the like in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party hereto agrees to indemnify and hold the other party hereto harmless against and in respect of any such obligation or liability based on agreements, arrangements, or understandings claimed to have been made by such party with any third party.

 

15. Nature of Representations and Warranties.

 

All of the parties hereto are executing and carrying out the provisions of this Agreement in reliance on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement (and no others), and the fact that any party may have made any investigation or received any other information, written or oral, provided by the other party or any other person shall not be deemed a waiver of any breach of any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement.

20. Effect of Waiver.

 

The failure of any party at any time or times to require performance of any provision of this Agreement will in no manner affect the right to enforce the same.

21. Severability.

 

The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of this Agreement will not affect any other provision of this Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect, nor will the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of a portion of any provision of this Agreement affect the balance of such provision. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or any portion thereof shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

24. Enforcement.

24.2. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any party’s remedy at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement would be inadequate and such breach or threatened breach shall be per se deemed as causing irreparable harm to such party. Therefore, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the parties hereto agree that, in addition to any available remedy at law, including but not limited to monetary damages, an aggrieved party, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to obtain, and the offending party agrees not to oppose the aggrieved party’s request for, equitable relief in the form of specific enforcement, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction, or any other equitable remedy that may then be available to the aggrieved party.

3. Restrictions on the use of Trade Secrets and Confidential Information.

 

3.1. Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement “Confidential Information” means technical and nontechnical trade secrets and other information that the Company considers confidential or proprietary, all of which is the property of the Company, including but not limited to methods, procedures, devices and other means used by the Company in the conduct of its business, marketing plans and strategies, pricing plans and strategies, data processing programs, software programs, database applications, formulae, drawings, secret processes, machines and adaptations thereto, inventions, research projects, and all other matters of a technical nature; names and addresses of the Company’s customers and clients and their representatives responsible for entering into contracts for the Company’s products, all of which is not available from directories or other public sources; customers or client leads or referrals; specific customer or client needs and requirements and the manner in which they have been met by the Company; information with respect to pricing, costs, profits, sales, markets, plans for future business and other development; and information with respect to the Company’s employees, their names and addresses, compensation, experience, qualifications, abilities, job performance and similar information.

3.2. Nondisclosure of Confidential Information. Employee acknowledges and agrees that he will come into contact with, have access to, and learn Confidential Information in the course of his employment hereunder. Employee acknowledges and agrees that any disclosure or use of any of Confidential Information by Employee other than to advance the Company’s business will be highly detrimental to the business of the Company and that serious loss of business and pecuniary damage may result therefrom. Accordingly, Employee specifically covenants and agrees to hold all such Confidential Information (including any documents containing or reflecting the same) in the strictest confidence and not, both during employment with the Company or at any time thereafter, without the Company’s prior written consent, disclose to any person whatsoever, or use for any purpose other than the exclusive benefit of the Company, any Confidential Information, whether contained in Employee’s memory or embodied in writing or other physical form.

 

C - 2

A direct or indirect financial interest, including joint ventures in or with a supplier, vendor, customer or prospective customer without disclosure and written approval from the CEO of the Company is strictly prohibited and constitutes grounds for dismissal.

 

4. Nonsolicitation of Customers. Employee acknowledges and agrees that, during the course and solely as a result of Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee will become aware of some, most, or all of the Company’s customers and clients, their names and addresses, their representatives responsible for engaging the Company’s products, their specific needs and requirements, and leads and referrals to prospective customers and clients. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that the loss of such customers and clients would cause the Company great and irreparable harm. Consequently, Employee covenants and agrees that in the event of the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company Employee will not, for the longer of (a) two years from the Effective Date or (b) one year following the date of such termination, directly or indirectly solicit or seek to do business with any customer or client or prospective customer or client of the Company with whom Employee came into contact at any time while employed by the Company.

 

5. Nonsolicitation of Employees. Employee acknowledges and agrees that, during the course of employment with the Company, Employee may hereafter come into contact with some, most or all of the Company’s employees and will become knowledgeable about their knowledge, skills, abilities, salaries, commissions, benefits, and other matters with respect to such employees not generally known to the public. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that any solicitation, luring away or hiring of such employees of the Company will be highly detrimental to the business of the Company and will cause the Company serious loss of business and great and irreparable harm. Consequently, Employee covenants and agrees that during the course of employment with the Company and for (a) two years from the Effective Date or (b) one year after the date of such termination of such employment (whether such termination is voluntary or involuntary), Employee shall not directly or indirectly, on behalf of Employee or another, solicit, lure or hire any employees of the Company of whom Employee became aware while employed by the Company or assist or aid in any such activity.

 

6. Termination and Severance.

C - 3


6.3. Termination by the Company without Cause. If Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause (as hereinafter defined) at any time before the third annual anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Severance Period”), then (subject to Employee’s execution and delivery of the Release described in Section 6.4 and the other provisions of this Section 6) and from and after the date of such termination, Employee shall be entitled to monthly payments of $1,445.48 for the remainder of the Severance Period.

 

6.4. Release of Claims. The Company’s obligation to make any payment or provide any benefits to Employee upon or in connection with the termination of his employment to this Agreement or otherwise shall be conditioned upon and subject to the execution and delivery of a Release by Employee at the time of termination of employment substantially the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A. No such payment otherwise due to Employee shall be payable until the tenth (10th) day following Employee’s execution and delivery to the Company of the Release.

 

6.5. Definitions. As used in this Agreement, “Cause” means:

 

(a) Employee’s material failure to perform his duties, including failure to follow the lawful directions or meet performance standards established by the Company’s CEO, President or Board of Directors, except where such failure is caused by or attributable to a disability;

 

(b) The issuance of an indictment or filing of a criminal information charging Employee with the commission of a crime constituting a felony or involving moral turpitude or Employee’s conviction of any such crime;

 

(c) Employee’s embezzlement or criminal diversion of funds or intentional falsification of any employment or other Company records;

 

(d) Employee’s failure to perform or to comply with any material term or condition of this Agreement, if Employee fails to cure such failure or fails to commence and diligently seek to cure such failure within thirty (30) days after written notice of such failure;

 

(e) Employee’s conduct which is materially harmful to the Company or the successor;

 

(f) Employee’s material failure to perform in accordance with performance standards from time to time established by the Board of Directors; or

C - 4


6.6. Limitation on Payments. In the event that the benefits provided for in this Section 6 to Employee (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code (as amended from time to time, the “Code”) and (ii) would, but for this section, be subject to the excise tax imposed by section 4999 of the Code, then Employee’s benefits under section 6.3 shall be payable either:

 

(a) in full, or

 

(b) as to such lesser amount as would result in no portion of such severance benefits being subject to excise tax under section 4999 of the Code, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state, and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by section 4999, results in the receipt by Employee on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits under Section 6.3 notwithstanding that all or some portion of such severance benefits may be taxable under section 4999 of the Code. Unless the Company and Employee otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 6.6 shall be made in writing by the Company’s independent public accountants (the “Accountants”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Employee and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 6.6, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of section 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Employee shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this section. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 6.6.

 

6.7. No Duty to Mitigate. Employee small not be required to mitigate the amount of any benefit contemplated by this Section 6 (whether by seeking new employment or in any other manner), nor shall any such benefit be reduced by any earnings or benefits that Employee may receive from any other source.

 

7. Dispute Resolution and Remedies.

 

7.1. Equitable Remedies. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the covenants set forth in sections 3, 4, and 5 hereof are reasonable and necessary for protection of the Company’s business interests, that irreparable injury will result to the Company if Employee breaches any of the terms of such covenants, and that, in the event of Employee’s actual or threatened breach of said covenants, the Company will have no adequate remedy at law. Employee accordingly agrees that in the event of an actual or threatened breach of any of such covenants, the Company shall be entitled to immediate injunctive and other equitable relief, without bond and without necessity of showing actual money damages. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of any damages that the Company is able to prove. Each of the covenants in sections 3, 4, and 5 shall be construed as independent of any other covenants or provisions of this Agreement. In the event of any other judicial or arbitral determination that any of the covenants set forth in sections 3, 4, and 5 herein or any other provisions of the Agreement are not fully enforceable, it is the intention and desire of the parties

 

C - 5


that a court or arbitrator treat such covenants as having been modified to the extent deemed necessary by the court or arbitrator to render them reasonable and enforceable and that the court or arbitrator enforce them to such extent.

 

7.2. Arbitration. Employee hereby acknowledges and agrees that, in consideration of Employee’s employment and continued employment with the Company, Employee knowingly and voluntarily enters into the following terms to arbitrate any employment-related disputes other than an alleged violation by Employee of sections 3, 4, or 5 hereof and voluntarily waives the judicial remedies afforded by federal and related state statutes, as follows:

 

(a) Employee agrees to arbitrate any dispute, claim, or controversy (“Claim”) against the Company, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliate, and current and former officers, directors, or employees, arising out of Employee’s employment or the cessation of employment which could have been brought before any government administrative agency or court including, but not limited to, claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, sections 1981 through 1988 of Title 42 of the United States Code, as well as any other federal, state, or local law, ordinance, or regulation, or based on any public policy, contract, tort, or common law or any claim for costs, fees, or other expenses including attorney’s fees, but excluding any Claim under sections 3, 4, or 5 of this Agreement, or any Claims for worker’s compensation or unemployment compensation. All Claims and defenses that could be raised before a government administrative agency or court must be raised in arbitration and the arbitrator shall apply the law accordingly. The Company also has the right to initiate arbitration regarding any matter covered by this Agreement. Employee understands that by signing this Agreement, Employee is waiving his right to obtain any legal or equitable relief (e.g., monetary, injunctive, or reinstatement) from any government agency or court and is also waiving his right to commence any court action. Employee understands that any claim for arbitration will be timely only if brought within the time in which an administrative charge or complaint would have to have been filed if the Claim is one that could be filed with an administrative agency. If the arbitration claim raises an issue that could not have been filed with an administrative agency, then the claim must be filed within the time set by the appropriate statute of limitations.

 

(b) The arbitration shall be conducted in Maryland by a single arbitrator in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Employee understands that he will be required to pay the first $150 of the costs of commencing an arbitration with the AAA and the remainder of any costs will be paid by the Company, subject to a subsequent award by the arbitrator. The parties agree that the decision or award of the arbitrator shall be in writing and shall be final and binding upon the parties.

8.5. Entire Transaction. This Agreement contains the entire understanding between Employee and the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and supercedes all other agreements and understanding between the parties. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither Employee nor the Company has relied upon any oral representation or oral information given to it by any representative of the other party.

8.9. Company Policies, Plans and Programs. Whenever any rights under this Agreement depend on the terms of a policy, plan, or program established or maintained by the Company, any determination of such rights will be made on the basis of the policy, plan, or program in effect at the time as of which such determination is made. No reference in this Agreement to any policy, plan, or program established or maintained by the Company shall preclude the Company from prospectively or retroactively changing or amending or terminating that policy, plan, or program or adopting a new policy, plan, or program in lieu of the then-existing policy, plan, or program.

This INSTRUMENT OF ASSUMPTION dated as of April      2005 (this “Agreement”), by and among COMTREX CORPORATION, a North Carolina corporation (the “Seller”), and AVATECH SOLUTIONS SUBSIDIARY, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Buyer”).

 

WHEREAS, Seller, Buyer, and Richard Aquino and Stan Hilburn (collectively, the “Stocholders”) have entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement of even date herewith (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Buyer will acquire certain of Seller’s assets and assume certain of Seller’s liabilities. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

 

WHEREAS, Seller and Buyer now desire to carry out the intent and purpose of the Asset Purchase Agreement by, among other things, the parties’ execution and delivery of this instrument evidencing the transfer, sale, and assignment by Seller of the Assumed Obligations (as defined in Section 2.2 of the Asset Purchase Agreement), and the acceptance and assumption by Buyer of such obligations.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

 

1. Effective from and after the date hereof, Buyer hereby assumes and agrees to pay, perform, and discharge in full, as and when due, the obligations of Seller under the Assumed Obligations, to the extent existing on the effectiveness of this Agreement, and no other liabilities or obligations of Seller.

 

2. Seller and the Stockholders represent and warrant that no event of default exists under any of the Assumed Obligations; that they are not aware of any violation (by Seller, the Stockholders, or any other party) of any term, provision, condition, or covenant of the Assumed Obligations; that no event has occurred or condition exists that, with notice or passage of time, would constitute an event of default or result in a violation of any term, provision, condition or covenant of the Assumed Obligations; and that all payments of money due as of the date hereof under the Assumed Obligations have been made. Seller and the Stockholders agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers, agents, and employees from and against any: (a) default by Seller or the Stockholders in connection with the Assumed Obligations, to the extent such default arises out of an event occurring or condition existing on or prior to the date hereof; (b) debt, liability, obligation, or contract of the Seller or the Stockholders not expressly assumed by Buyer hereunder; and (c) failure of Seller’s or the Stockholder’s representations contained in this Section 2 to be true, accurate, and complete in all material respects.

 

3. Each of the parties hereto agree that it shall do, execute, acknowledge, and deliver all acts, agreements, instruments, notices, and assurances as may be reasonably requested by the other party to further effect and evidence the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

D - 1


4. This Agreement is subject to all of the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

 

5. Except as expressly set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any way supersede, modify, replace, amend, change, rescind, expand, exceed, or enlarge or in any way affect the provisions, including the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, conditions, indemnities, or in general, any rights and remedies, and any of the obligations set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement. This Agreement is being delivered to effect the assignment and assumption of the Assumed Obligations pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

 

6. Any notice, request or other document to be given hereunder to either party hereto shall be given in accordance with Section 16 of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

 

7. This Agreement and all claims with respect thereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to any conflict of law principles thereof. Each of Buyer and Seller hereby irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any agreements or transactions contemplated hereby shall only be instituted in the federal or state courts located in Maryland and hereby expressly submits to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for the purposes thereof and expressly waives any claim of improper venue and any claim that such courts are an inconvenient forum. Each of Buyer and Seller hereby irrevocably consents to the service of process of any of the aforementioned courts in any such suit, action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the address set forth or referred to in Section 16 of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

 

8. This Agreement may not be amended, waived or otherwise modified except by a written instrument signed by the parties hereto.

 

9. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of parties hereto and their respective permitted successors or assigns, and it is not the intention of the parties to confer, and this Agreement shall not confer, third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person.

 

10. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby, and there shall be deemed substituted for the provision at issue a valid, legal and enforceable provision as similar as possible to the provision at issue.

 

11. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

FORM OF STOCKHOLDER NOTES

 

$                    

  April     , 2005

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, AVATECH SOLUTIONS SUBSIDIARY, INC. (the “Debtor”), promises to pay to the order of                                                   (the “Creditor”), the principal sum of                                                                                                Dollars and         /100 ($                    ) (the “Principal Sum”) or so much of the Principal Sum as is outstanding from time to time, together with interest thereon at the rate or rates hereinafter provided, in accordance with the following:

 

1. Interest; Payment and Maturity. Until the occurrence of an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined), the Principal Sum shall bear interest at two point three nine percent (2.39%) per annum, compounded semi annually, and the unpaid Principal Sum, together with any interest due thereon shall be payable in full on or before the [second/third] anniversary of the date of this Note (the “Repayment Date”), as follows: monthly payments of                              ($                    ).

 

2. Default Interest. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined), the unpaid Principal Sum shall bear interest thereafter at a rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum until such Event of Default is cured.

 

3. Late Charges. If Debtor shall fail to make any payment under the terms of this Note within fifteen (15) days after the date such payment is due, Debtor shall pay to Creditor a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such payment.

 

4. Application and Place of Payments. All payments, made on account of this Note shall be applied first to the payment of any late charges, costs or expenses then due hereunder, second to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest then due hereunder, and the remainder, if any, shall be applied to the unpaid Principal Sum. All payments on account of this Note shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds during normal business hours at the last known address of Creditor, or at such times and places as Creditor may at any time and from time to time designate in writing to Debtor; provided however, that any Losses (as that term is defined in Section 13.3 of the Asset Purchase Agreement by and among Debtor, Creditor, [Stockholder], and Comtrex Corporation of even date herewtih (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”)) against which Creditor is or becomes obligated to indemnify Debtor (whether such obligation arises out of the Asset Purchase Agreement or some other document, instrument, or agreement executed in connection therewith), shall be deemed to be payments made by Debtor on account of this Note.

 

5. Prepayment. Debtor may prepay the Unpaid Principal Sum in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time.

 

6. Events of Default. On the occurrence of: (a) the failure of Debtor to pay to Creditor when due any and all amounts payable by Debtor to Creditor under the terms of this Note; (b) Debtor’s becoming insolvent or declaring or being declared bankrupt by a court of

 

E - 1


competent jurisdiction; or (c) the appointment of a custodian, receiver, or trustee for all or any part of Debtor’s property or an assignment for the benefit of Debtor’s creditors. Creditor shall give notice to Debtor that such an event has occurred. Debtor’s failure to cure the condition within thirty (30) says of such notice, shall constitute an event of default (individually, an “Event of Default” and collectively, the “Events of Default”) under the terms of this Note.

 

7. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, at the option of Creditor, all amounts payable by Debtor to Creditor under the terms of this Note shall immediately become due and payable by Debtor to Creditor without notice to Debtor or any other person, and Creditor shall have all of the rights, powers, and remedies available under the terms of this Note and all applicable laws. Debtor and all endorsers, guarantors, and other parties who may now or in the future be primarily or secondarily liable for the payment of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note hereby severally waive presentment, protest and demand, notice of protest, notice of demand and of dishonor and non-payment of this Note and expressly agree that this Note or any payment hereunder may be extended from time to time without in any way affecting the liability of Debtor and any guarantors or endorsers.

 

8. Expenses. Debtor promises to pay to Creditor on demand by Creditor all costs and expenses incurred by Creditor in connection with the preparation, collection and enforcement of this Note, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and all court costs.

 

9. Notices. Any notice, request, or demand to or upon Debtor or Creditor shall be deemed to have been received when delivered by hand, when delivered to an overnight courier, or when sent by United States registered or certified mail, with postage fully paid, in the case of (a) Creditor,                                                                                                                           , and (b) Debtor, Attn: General Counsel, Avatech Solutions Subsidiary, Inc., 10715 Red Run Boulevard, Suite 101, Owings Mills, Maryland 21117.

 

10. Miscellaneous. Each right, power, and remedy of Creditor as provided for in this Note or now or hereafter existing under any applicable law or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Note or now or hereafter existing under any applicable law, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Creditor of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Creditor of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies. No failure or delay by Creditor to insist upon the strict performance of any term, condition, covenant, or agreement of this Note or to exercise any right, power, or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such term, condition, covenant, or agreement or of any such breach, or preclude Creditor from exercising any such right, power, or remedy at a later time or times. By accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under the terms of this Note, Creditor shall not be deemed to waive the right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts payable under the terms of this Note or to declare an Event of Default for the failure to effect such prompt payment of any such other amount. No course of dealing or conduct shall be effective to amend, modify, waive, release, or change any provisions of this Note.

 

E - 2


11. Partial Invalidity. In the event any provision of this Note (or any part of any provision) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision (or remaining part of the affected provision) of this Note; but this Note shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision (or part thereof) had not been contained in this Note, but only to the extent it is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable.

 

12. Captions. The captions herein set forth are for convenience only and shall not be deemed to define, limit, or describe the scope or intent of this Note.

 

13. Governing Law. The provisions of this Note shall be construed, interpreted, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, as the same may be in effect from time to time.

 

14. Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process. Debtor irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State of Maryland over any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note. Debtor irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that Debtor may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Final judgment in any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon Debtor and may be enforced in any court in which Debtor is subject to jurisdiction by a suit upon such judgment provided that service of process is effected upon Debtor as provided in this Note or as otherwise permitted by applicable law. Debtor hereby consents to process being served in any suit, action, or proceeding instituted in connection with this Note by (a) the mailing of a copy thereof by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to Debtor and (b) serving a copy thereof any agent hereafter designated in writing to Creditor by Debtor as Debtor’s agent for service of process. Debtor irrevocably agrees that such service shall be deemed to be service of process upon Debtor in any such suit, action, or proceeding.
