SECTION 1 – REGISTRANT'S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

Item 1.01          Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement
 
On July 31, 2015, we entered into various agreements in order to restructure our business.  We have determined to focus on our download business in order to achieve certain cost-cutting goals and expect to earn a minor royalty only in connection with our retail business in which we will no longer actively develop or distribute any retail games in recognition of the changing landscape of the gaming industry. We have transferred our distribution rights related to developing, publishing and distributing video game products through retail distribution to a company owned by our former chief executive officer, Jesse Sutton.  Mr. Sutton will continue to pursue this business while consulting for us in the download segment of the gaming business, and we will receive a royalty on net revenues for any further sales.  Under the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), we transferred ownership of a newly-formed subsidiary company, Zift Interactive, LLC (“Zift”), to Mr. Sutton.  Under the Purchase Agreement, Mr. Sutton received all membership interests in Zift in exchange for: (1) Mr. Sutton’s resignation from the position of chief executive officer, including waiver of any severance payments, and (2) Mr. Sutton’s delivery of the executed Separation Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.2 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed July 28, 2015, together with his agreement to serve as a consultant under the terms of the Separation Agreement.
 
Concurrently with the Purchase Agreement, we entered into an Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Assets and Assumption of Obligations (the “Conveyance Agreement”) with Zift.  Under the Conveyance Agreement, we assigned certain assets used in the retail business to Zift, and Zift agreed to assume and indemnify us for all liabilities related to the retail business. In addition, under the Conveyance Agreement, we granted Zift the exclusive worldwide right to distribute retail video games for a term of one year under certain publishing licenses held by us. In exchange, Zift will pay us a fee equal to five (5%) percent of the net revenue of such retail sales on a quarterly basis. The assets transferred to Zift include cash in an amount of $800,000 of which $400,000 is to be transferred immediately, with the remaining $400,000 to be funded in 12 equal consecutive monthly installments of $33,333.33 to be paid each month on the first day of each month commencing August 1, 2015. Zift has agreed to indemnify us in connection with the acquired asset and retail distribution rights, including for claims associated with periods prior to the closing date, and we may setoff amounts owing to Zift in the future in the event that any claims are asserted against us.
 
Additional covenants, conditions, representations, and warranties between the parties are included in the Purchase Agreement and the Conveyance Agreement. The foregoing is a brief summary of the material terms of these agreements, and not a complete description of their contents.  The Purchase Agreement and the Conveyance Agreement should be reviewed in their entirety for additional information.

Exhibit 10.1
 
AGREEMENT OF CONVEYANCE, TRANSFER AND ASSIGNMENT OF ASSETS AND ASSUMPTION OF OBLIGATIONS
 
This Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Assets and Assumption of Obligations (“Transfer and Assumption Agreement”) is made as of July 31, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), by Majesco Entertainment Company, a Delaware corporation (“Assignor”), and Zift Interactive LLC a Nevada limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Assignor (“Assignee”).

WHEREAS, Assignor is engaged in the business of developing, publishing and distributing video game products through both retail distribution (the “Retail Business”) and mobile and online digital downloading (the “Download Business”); and

WHEREAS, Assignor desires to convey, transfer and assign to Assignee, and Assignee desires to acquire from Assignor, all of the assets of Assignor relating to the operation of the Retail Business which are set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and in connection therewith, Assignee has agreed to assume certain of the liabilities of Assignor relating to the Retail Business which are set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto, on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

Section 1.                      Assignment.

1.1.           Assignment of Assets.  For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged by Assignor, Assignor does hereby assign, grant, bargain, sell, convey, transfer and deliver to Assignee, and its successors and assigns, all of Assignor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the assets, properties and business, of every kind and description, wherever located, real, personal or mixed, tangible or intangible, owned, held or used in the conduct of the Retail Business (the “Assets”), including, but not limited to, the Assets listed on Exhibit A hereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the term Assets shall not include any assets related to the Download Business.

1.2           Further Assurances.  Assignor shall from time to time after the Effective Date, at the request of Assignee and without further consideration, execute and deliver to Assignee such additional instruments of transfer and assignment, including without limitation any bills of sale, assignments of leases, deeds, and other recordable instruments of assignment, transfer and conveyance, in addition to this Transfer and Assumption Agreement, as Assignee shall reasonably request to evidence more fully the assignment by Assignor to Assignee of the Assets.

1.3           Working Capital and Distribution Rights. Assignor hereby grants to Assignee the exclusive worldwide right to distribute the retail video games for a term of one year under all of the Company’s publishing licenses set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto and the Assignee shall pay to the Assignor a fee equal to five (5%) percent of the net revenue of such retail sales by the Assignee on a quarterly basis.  The assets transferred to the Assignee shall include cash in an amount of $800,000 of which $400,000 shall be transferred by Assignor to Assignee on the date hereof and the remaining $400,000 shall be funded by the Assignor to Assignee in 12 equal consecutive monthly installments of $33,333.33 each month on the first day of each month commencing August 1, 2015. To the extent that any claim, cause of action, indebtedness, costs, obligations, losses or liabilities, of whatever kind, nature and character, are asserted by Assignee against Assignor in the future (an “Assignee Claim”), the monetary amount of all such claims by the Assignee shall be deemed offset and reduced by the amount of the cash provided to Assignee by Assignor under this Section 1.3.  In the event that an Assignee Claim is resolved without any liability being assessed against the Assignor and without any payment (monetary or otherwise) being made by the Assignor on account of the Assignee Claim, then any cash payments withheld by the Assignor as on offset against the Assignee Claim (less any costs and attorney’s fees incurred by Assignor in defense of the Assignee Claim) shall, upon such resolution, be paid to the Assignee.

 
 
 

 
 
Section 2.                      Assumption.

2.1           Assumed Liabilities.  On the Effective Date, Assignee hereby assumes and agrees to pay, perform and discharge, fully and completely, only the liabilities, commitments, contracts, agreements, obligations or other claims against Assignor (the “Liabilities”) listed on Exhibit B.

2.2           Further Assurances.  Assignee shall from time to time after the Effective Date, at the request of Assignor and without further consideration, execute and deliver to Assignor such additional instruments of assumption in addition to this Transfer and Assumption Agreement as Assignor shall reasonably request to evidence more fully the assumption by Assignee of the Liabilities.

2.3           Indemnification. On the Effective Date and in consideration for the other covenants and agreements of Assignor which are provided for in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the Assignee, the Assignee and all entities owned, controlled by, or under common control with the Assignee, and its officers, directors, shareholders, partners, employees, agents and representatives thereof, and the heirs, personal representatives, administrators, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing persons and entities (collectively, the Assignee  Releasors), knowingly, irrevocably and unconditionally release and forever discharge Assignor, and all entities owned, controlled by, or under common control with Assignor and its present and former officers, founders, directors, shareholders, partners, employees, agents, promoters, consultants and representatives and the heirs, personal representatives, administrators, successors and assigns of each of them (collectively, the “Assignor Releasees”), from any and all debts, claims, controversies, cross-claims, counterclaims, damages, causes of action, actions, indebtedness, costs, obligations, promises, losses and liabilities of whatever kind, nature and character, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, liquidated or unliquidated, suspected or unsuspected, whether in law or in equity, whether asserted individually, derivatively or in any other capacity, which the Assignee Releasors now have, ever had, or hereafter can, shall or may have against the Assignor Releasees (or any of them), arising from the beginning of time to the Effective Date and any time thereafter, for, by reason of, in any way based upon, arising out of, related to, or in connection with any matter or thing, including, but not limited to, all matters related to or based upon the Retail Business; provided that nothing contained herein shall operate to release or discharge the Assignor from its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations under this Transfer and Assumption Agreement.  It is possible that claims not now known to Assignee Releasors will develop or be discovered, and this Transfer and Assumption Agreement is expressly intended to cover and include all such claims.

Section 3.                     Headings.  The descriptive headings contained in this Transfer and Assumption Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Transfer and Assumption Agreement.

Section 4.                      Governing Law.  This Transfer and Assumption Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within that state, except that any conveyances of leaseholds and real property made herein shall be governed by the laws of the respective jurisdictions in which such property is located.

(b)           Third Party Claims.
 
(i)           If any claim or liability (a “Third-Party Claim”) should be asserted against any of the Seller Indemnified Parties (the “Indemnitee”) by a third party after the Closing for which Buyer has an indemnification obligation under the terms of Section 5(a), then the Indemnitee shall notify Buyer (the “Indemnitor”) within 20 days after the Third-Party Claim is asserted by a third party (said notification being referred to as a “Claim Notice”) and give the Indemnitor a reasonable opportunity to take part in any examination of the books and records of the Indemnitee relating to such Third-Party Claim and to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim and in connection therewith and to conduct any proceedings or negotiations relating thereto and necessary or appropriate to defend the Indemnitee and/or settle the Third-Party Claim. The expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of all negotiations, proceedings, contests, lawsuits or settlements with respect to any Third-Party Claim shall be borne by the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor agrees to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim in writing within 20 days after the Claim Notice of such Third-Party Claim has been delivered, through counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee, then the Indemnitor shall be entitled to control the conduct of such defense, and shall be responsible for any expenses of the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim so long as the Indemnitor continues such defense until the final resolution of such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnitor shall be responsible for paying all settlements made or judgments entered with respect to any Third-Party Claim the defense of which has been assumed by the Indemnitor. Except as provided in subsection (ii) below, both the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee must approve any settlement of a Third-Party Claim except that the Indemnitor may conclude a settlement of a Third Party Claim if the indemnitee receives a general release from the Third Party claimant as a part of such settlement. A failure by the Indemnitee to timely give the Claim Notice shall not excuse Indemnitor from any indemnification liability except only to the extent that the Indemnitor is materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure.
 
(ii)           If the Indemnitor shall not agree to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim in writing within 20 days after the Claim Notice of such Third-Party Claim has been delivered, or shall fail to continue such defense until the final resolution of such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnitee may defend against such Third-Party Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate and the Indemnitee may settle such Third-Party Claim, in its sole discretion, on such terms as it may deem appropriate. The Indemnitor shall promptly reimburse the Indemnitee for the amount of all settlement payments and expenses, legal and otherwise, incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of such Third-Party Claim. If no settlement of such Third-Party Claim is made, then the Indemnitor shall satisfy any judgment rendered with respect to such Third-Party Claim before the Indemnitee is required to do so, and pay all expenses, legal or otherwise, incurred by the Indemnitee in the defense against such Third-Party Claim.
 
(c)           Non-Third-Party Claims. Upon discovery of any claim for which Buyer has an indemnification obligation under the terms of this Section 5 which does not involve a claim by a third party against the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall give prompt notice to Buyer of such claim and, in any case, shall give Buyer such notice within 30 days of such discovery. A failure by Indemnitee to timely give the foregoing notice to Buyer shall not excuse Buyer from any indemnification liability except to the extent that Buyer is materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure.
 
(d)           Release.  Buyer, on behalf of himself and his Related Parties, hereby release and forever discharge Seller and its individual, joint or mutual, past and present representatives, Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, stockholders, controlling persons, subsidiaries, successors and assigns (individually, a “Releasee” and collectively, “Releasees”) from any and all claims, demands, proceedings, causes of action, orders, obligations, contracts, agreements, debts and liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, both at law and in equity, which Buyer or any of his Related Parties now has or has ever had against any Releasee, except for claims, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement, the Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Assets and Assumption of Obligations made as of July 31, 2015, by the Company and the Seller and the Separation Agreement entered into as of the 27th day of July, 2015 by and between Buyer and Seller. Buyer hereby irrevocably covenants to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any claim or demand, or commencing, instituting or causing to be commenced, any proceeding of any kind against any Releasee, based upon any matter released hereby. “Related Parties” shall mean, with respect to Buyer, (i) any Person that directly or indirectly controls, is directly or indirectly controlled by, or is directly or indirectly under common control with Buyer, (ii) any Person in which Buyer hold a Material Interest or (iii) any Person with respect to which any Buyer serves as a general partner or a trustee (or in a similar capacity).

As you know, over the past few years Majesco Entertainment has had significant success with its Zumba Fitness and other titles.  With the rapidly changing landscape of connected gaming, we have faced increasingly challenging market conditions while watching the high risk retail gaming business diminish in importance.  Accordingly, I am writing to update you on the progress of Majesco Entertainment as it has reduced its exposure to the retail market with a renewed focus on the download gaming business, which has come to dominate the market.  With new titles like Glue and A Boy and His Blob, and classic games like BloodRayne, Slender and Costume Quest 2, we will continue to maintain our presence in gaming, while also looking ahead for new strategic opportunities that may be unrelated to our historical markets.   We have reduced our headcount dramatically, and our cash burn, in order to focus on the download business, which is essentially a royalty business where games are downloaded from servers maintained by game companies, such as Valve, Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo.  We currently have just five full time employees and recently announced additional changes to our board of directors and senior management team.   As we adjust to our new business model, we expect that our future quarters will be breakeven to profitable.  We continue to explore new distribution channels and are working with developers to increase these numbers and further reduce costs.

During the next two quarters, we expect to launch two new exciting titles: Glue and A Boy and His Blob.  These games will be launched on all next generation consoles and in some cases, PC.  More info to come on these titles as they get closer to launch.

We have taken significant steps to repurpose our assets and significantly reduce our liabilities that were established solely to support our presence as a distributor of retail games for systems sold by Microsoft, Sony and others.  Now that we have elected to exit from that channel these liabilities and the costs associated with retail products have diminished.

As of July 31, 2015 our cash position remains extremely strong with approximately $8.5 million in cash and receivables on our balance sheet, and $9 million in escrow from our recent financings.  As previously reported, we have obtained shareholder approval for the financings, and the escrow funds should become available to us upon agreement of the investors or upon closing of an approved acquisition.
 
I am proud to report these results to you and that after a difficult market we have navigated Majesco onto a sound foundation for the future.  However with these changes, I have also decided that a change in my relationship with the Company was in order.  After giving serious consideration to many alternatives, I have agreed to continue a relationship with the company my family founded as a consultant developing further the download market while assuming responsibility for the costs of the retail market unencumbered with the costs of running a public company.  As a result on July 27 we appointed David Rector, a seasoned executive, to the position of Chairman and CEO, and I look forward to working with David towards a new future for Majesco and further success in its new business model.

Sincerely,

Jesse Sutton.
