Definitive Agreement
As
previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K that was filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on February 7, 2017,
Brekford Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a
Contribution and Unit Purchase Agreement (the
“Agreement”) with LB&B Associates Inc. (the
“Purchaser”) and Global Public Safety, LLC
(“GPS”).
The
closing for the transaction set forth in the Agreement occurred on
February 28, 2017 (the “Closing”) and on such date the
Company contributed substantially all of the assets and certain
liabilities related to its vehicle services business (the
“Business”) to GPS. After the Closing, Brekford will
continue to own and run other business operations that are not
related to the Business.
On the
Closing, GPS sold units representing 80.1% of the units of GPS to
the Purchaser for $6,048,394, after certain purchase price
adjustments of prepaid expenses and unbilled customer deposits.
$4,048,394 was paid in cash, including a $250,000 deposit that was
paid on February 6, 2017, and $2,000,000 was paid by Purchaser
issuing the Company a promissory note (the “Promissory
Note”). After the Closing, Brekford continues to own 19.9% of
the units of GPS.
The
Promissory Note is subordinated to the Purchaser’s senior
lender and accrues interest at a rate of 3% per annum. The maturity
date of the Promissory Note is March 31, 2022. The Promissory Note
is to be repaid as follows: (a) $75,000 plus all accrued interest
on each of September 30, 2017; December 31, 2017; March 31, 2018,
June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2018 (or, in the event any such

event any such date is not a business day, the first business day
after such date), and (d) $100,000 on March 31, 2022.
The
Promissory Note is secured pursuant to the terms of a Pledge
Agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”) between the Company
and Purchaser. Pursuant to the Pledge Agreement the Purchaser
granted the Company a continuing second priority lien and security
interest in the Purchaser’s units of GPS subject to liens of
the Purchaser’s senior lender.
Pursuant to the
Agreement, the Company and GPS executed a Transition Services
Agreement (the “Transition Services Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, the Company will
perform certain support services to promote the efficient
transition of the Business for the fees set forth in the
Agreement.
In
connection with the Agreement the Company entered into an Amended
and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Global Public
Safety, LLC (the “LLC Agreement”). The LLC Agreement
provides for the operations of GPS and provides that all limited
liability company powers of the Company shall be exercised by and
under the authority of the Board of Representatives except as
otherwise provided by the LLC Agreement or applicable law. The
initial number of representatives constituting the Board of
Representatives is three, of which the Company appointed one member
and if the number of Board of Representatives is increased the
Company shall be able to appoint the number of members required to
maintain 1/3 of the seats on the Board of
Representatives.
Pursuant to a
month-to-month sublease agreement between GPS and the Company, the
Company will continue to occupy 3,362 square feet of office space,
located at 7020 Dorsey Road, Suite C, Hanover, Maryland
21076.
The
Company also entered into a Pre-Novation Agreement with GPS
