EXHIBIT 2.2
FIRST AMENDMENT TO
STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT ("Amendment") is being
executed and delivered as of November 25, 1997.
RECITALS
A. The parties executing this Amendment (the "Parties") have
entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of September 16, 1997 (the
"Purchase Agreement").
B. The Parties wish to amend the Purchase Agreement as set forth
herein.
AMENDMENT
In accordance with Section 11.9 of the Purchase Agreement, and for good
and valuable consideration, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Adjustment to Closing Date. Section 2.3 of the Purchase
Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as
follows:
"2.3. Closing. The purchase and sale (the "Closing")
provided for in this Agreement will take place at the offices of the
Company at 5:00 p.m. (local time) on January 5, 1998, or at such other
time and place as the parties may agree. Subject to the provisions of
Section 9, failure to consummate the purchase and sale provided for in
this Agreement on the date and time and at the place determined
pursuant to this Section 2.3 will not result in the termination of this
Agreement and will not relieve any party of any obligation under this
Agreement. All transactions taking place at the Closing will be deemed
to have taken place simultaneously."
2. Parties to the Escrow Agreement. Section 2.4(c) of the
Purchase Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
"(c) Buyer and N.M. New Media Entertainment Ltd. will enter
into an escrow agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.4(c)
(the "Escrow Agreement") with Chase Trust Company of California (or an
affiliate thereof) (the "Escrow Agent")."
3. Elimination of Condition Precedent to Sellers' Obligation to
Close. The Purchase Agreement is hereby amended to eliminate Section 8.6 of
the Purchase Agreement in its entirety.
4. Adjustment to Date of Termination. Section 9.1(d) of the
Purchase Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
"(d) by any of Buyer, the Company or all Sellers if the
Closing has not occurred (other than through the failure of any party
seeking to terminate this Agreement to comply
2
fully with its obligations under this Agreement) on or before January
31, 1998, or such later date as the parties may agree upon."
5. Maximum Liability. The last sentence of Section 10.5(a) is
hereby amended to read in full as follows:
"The maximum liability (for indemnification or otherwise, or
for claims of negligence in connection with the Contemplated
Transactions) of each Seller with respect to the matters set forth in
Section 10.2, other than with respect to a claim brought pursuant to
clause (a) or clause (b) of Section 10.2 solely as a result of a Breach
of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.20(h), shall be
the product obtained by multiplying the Maximum Section 10.5(a)
Liability (as defined in Section 10.5(c) below) by the percentage set
forth opposite the name of such Seller on the Schedule of Sellers."
6. Section 10.5(c). The Purchase Agreement is hereby amended to
add a new Section 10.5(c) to the Purchase Agreement, which shall read in its
entirety as follows:
"(c) For purposes of this Section 10.5, the "Maximum
Section 10.5(a) Liability" shall mean the product obtained by
multiplying (x) 1,037,911 by (y) sixty-four percent (64%) by (z) the
average of the eight (8) last reported sales prices of Buyer's Common
Stock on the Nasdaq National Market for the eight (8) trading days
ending December 24, 1997."
