Re: Proposal for GETGO Inc. to Acquire 100% of the Equity of AFC Holdings,
Incorporated
Dear Dr. Smith:
This letter outlines our proposal for GETGO Inc. ("Getgo") to acquire AFC
Holdings, Incorporated ("AFC") on the following principal terms and conditions:
1. Acquisition. AFC proposes that Getgo acquire AFC in a transaction that
will be structured either as a "share swap" or a "triangular" or
"reverse-triangular" merger (the "Acquisition Transaction"). As a result of the
Acquisition Transaction, AFC will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Getgo, and
AFC's shareholders will receive Common Stock of Getgo equal to 123% of the
aggregate of (i) Getgo's issued and outstanding common stock at Closing and (ii)
Getgo's outstanding options to purchase common stock at the time of Closing that
are exerciseable at prices at or below $1.00 per share. The parties intend that
at Closing the AFC shareholders shall own approximately 55% of the issued and
outstanding shares based upon the issued and outstanding shares at Closing and
assuming the exercise of all options priced at or below $1.00 per share or less.
As a condition to the consummation of the Acquisition Transaction, AFC shall
have raised gross proceeds from a private offering of AFC's common stock equal
to or greater than $1,800,000 ("AFC's Private Offering"). In addition, Getgo
shall be satisfied that AFC will complete the acquisition of Velocast Media,
Incorporated and Land and Sea Food Company, Inc ("Other Acquisitions"); or
similar transactions designed to provide AFC with operating assets similar to
those accomplished with the aforementioned Other Acquisitions. The term
"Closing" shall refer to the consummation of the Acquisition Transaction, which
is anticipated to occur at the offices of Schlueter & Associates, P.C. at the
time that all conditions to consummation of the Acquisition Transaction have
been satisfied or waived.
2. Implementation.
(a) Subject to satisfaction of the conditions described herein, at
the Closing, Getgo will issue to AFC's shareholders, in exchange
for their AFC shares, shares of Getgo in an amount equal to 123%
of aggregate of (i) Getgo's issued and outstanding common stock
at Closing and (ii) Getgo's outstanding options to purchase
common stock at the time of Closing that are exerciseable at
prices at or below $1.00 per share.
(b) At or prior to the Closing, all but one of the present members of
the Board of Directors of Getgo shall resign, naming as their
successors those persons designated by AFC at or prior to
Closing.
CONFIDENTIAL LETTER OF INTENT PAGE 2 OF 5
(c) At Closing, the officers of Getgo shall tender their resignations
to the Board and shall, if such resignations are accepted, resign
without any compensation or claim for compensation of any kind,
except amounts due to such persons that are to be dealt with
pursuant to paragraph 3, below. Further, as a condition to AFC's
obligation to consummate the Acquisition Transaction, Getgo and
such persons shall enter into mutual releases.
(d) Following the Closing, Getgo will change its name to AFC
Holdings, Inc. and AFC agrees to take such actions as may
reasonably be necessary to facilitate such change.
3. Conditions. As a condition to Getgo's obligation to consummate the
Acquisition Transaction, AFC shall have completed a private placement of its
common stock in which it has realized gross offering proceeds of at least
$1,800,000. As a condition to AFC's obligation to consummate the Acquisition
Transaction, Getgo shall have entered into definitive agreements with its
creditors for the satisfaction of all of its liabilities by paying $480,000 in
cash plus long term, three year convertible debt instrument(s) not exceeding
$250,000 in the aggregate, which shall be payable interest only, at a fixed rate
of 8% APR, quarterly for the first year and with monthly payments of principal
and interest for the remaining two years, amortizing the entire balance over an
five year period, with a balloon payment on the thirty-sixth month (the
"Creditor Fund"). The convertible debt shall be convertible at an initial price
of $0.38 per share, and the conversion terms shall contain anti-dilution
provisions under the so called "institutional weighted average" method. The
Creditor Fund shall remain fixed unless AFC shall consent to a higher amount
prior to closing, which consent may be withheld in AFC's sole and absolute
discretion. AFC will retain the absolute right to force conversion of the
convertible debt to Getgo stock, prior to the end of the three year term without
penalty, if the closing price of Getgo's common stock exceeds $1.50 per share
for twenty consecutive trading days commencing at the time that the convertible
debt is issued. Any shares of common stock acquired upon conversion of the
convertible debt will be restricted and subject to resale only in accordance
with the terms of Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
or under applicable securities laws.
It is expressly agreed that the Creditor Fund shall be placed into escrow with
Schlueter & Associates, P.C. with irrevocable instructions for delivery to Getgo
creditors in accordance with the terms of an escrow agreement that shall be
mutually agreed upon between Getgo and AFC prior to closing. Getgo shall provide
releases from all of its creditors or such other documents as AFC may request
prior to Closing to evidence the creditors' consent to accept payments from the
Creditor Fund in full and complete satisfaction of their claims. The parties
acknowledge that the source of the cash proceeds of up to $480,000, being used
to pay Getgo's creditors will be cash raised from AFC's Private Offering.
4. Definitive Agreement. Upon the acceptance of this letter by Getgo, Getgo
and AFC will promptly negotiate, in good faith, the terms of a definitive
agreement (the "Definitive Agreement"). The Definitive Agreement will be in a
form customary for transactions of this type and will include, in addition to
those matters specifically set forth in this letter, customary representations,
warranties, indemnities, covenants and agreements of AFC and Getgo, customary
conditions of closing and other customary matters.
5. Purchase Investigation. Each of Getgo and AFC will promptly begin and
diligently pursue a purchase investigation of the legal, business, environmental
and financial condition of the other. Each party will extend its full
cooperation to the other party and its lawyers, accountants and other
representatives in connection with such investigation. Each party's lawyers,
accountants and other representatives shall have full access to the other
party's (including, but not limited to, AFC's) books and records, facilities,
accountants and key employees for the purpose of conducting such purchase
investigation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this letter
shall be conditional upon each party's complete satisfaction with such purchase
investigation.

of Getgo and AFC will conduct the their respective businesses in the ordinary
course and use their best efforts to maintain their respective business and
assets and to cause each to retain its key employees.
9. No-Shop Agreement. Each of AFC and Getgo agree that they will not, nor
will they permit any of their respective officers, directors, employees,
financial advisers, brokers, stockholders or any person acting on their behalf,
to consider, solicit or negotiate, or cause to be considered, solicited or
