Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Financial Statements a
On September 15, 2008, Union Street Acquisition Corp. ("USQ") issued a press
release announcing that, pursuant to and in accordance with certain agreements
entered into in June 2008 and described below, Archway Marketing Holdings, Inc.,
a newly formed corporation ("HoldCo"), held by a limited liability company
controlled by Tailwind Capital Partners ("Tailwind Capital"), entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") whereby HoldCo agreed to
acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Archway
Marketing Services, Inc. ("Archway") from Argenbright, Inc. ("Argenbright") at
the same price and on substantially the same terms as are contained in the
Archway Purchase Agreement, as defined below, (the "HoldCo Acquisition").
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the HoldCo Acquisition will only be
consummated if the Archway Purchase Agreement is terminated, which is expected
to occur if the Acquisitions, as defined below, are not approved by the
stockholders of USQ at the special meeting of stockholders currently scheduled
for September 22, 2008. A copy of the press release dated September 15, 2008 is
attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated
herein by reference.
It is currently contemplated that A. Clayton Perfall, Chairman, Chief Executive
Officer and President of USQ and Brian H. Burke, Chief Financial Officer and
Treasurer of USQ, will become members of the limited liability company that owns
HoldCo. Mr. Perfall will invest $3.0 million in that limited liability company
in exchange for an approximate 6.8% preferred equity interest of that limited
liability company consistent with the terms of the investment by Tailwind
Capital and other equity investors. In addition, it is contemplated that
Messrs. Perfall and Burke will receive a compensatory subordinated profits
interest that will entitle them to distributions of $3.5 million after all
preferred equity investors have recovered their invested capital, plus 7.3% of
all subsequent distributions made by the limited liability company. Inclusive of
the preferred equity interest Mr. Perfall is purchasing and the compensatory
profits interest that Messrs. Perfall and Burke will be granted, Messrs. Perfall
and Burke will be entitled to approximately 13.6% of distributions made by the
limited liability company after repayment of all invested capital and
preferences.
It is also currently contemplated that Messrs. Perfall and Burke will enter into
employment agreements with HoldCo providing for annual compensation of $400,000
and $250,000, respectively, as well as discretionary bonuses. Mr. Burke is also
expected to participate in HoldCo's equity incentive plan with other members of
the Archway Marketing Services management team, including an initial grant of
options and restricted preferred stock in HoldCo. This restricted preferred
stock will entitle Mr. Burke to a payment equal to 3.75% of the first
$20 million of cash distributions made by HoldCo after repayment of all invested
capital to the limited liability company that owns HoldCo.
Equity arrangements of HoldCo and of the limited liability company that owns
HoldCo and the employment agreements of Messrs. Perfall and Burke have not been
finalized and are subject to change.
On September 14, 2008, USQ entered into a letter agreement with HoldCo (the
"HoldCo Letter Agreement") whereby HoldCo agreed that if the Acquisitions are
not approved by the stockholders of USQ and the HoldCo Acquisition is
consummated, HoldCo will pay $750,000 to USQ in consideration for USQ providing
HoldCo with, among other things, access to the legal and financial due diligence
that USQ performed on Archway. The HoldCo Letter Agreement is attached as
Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by
reference. In addition, on September 14, 2008, USQ entered into a letter
agreement with Argenbright (the "Argenbright Letter Agreement"), whereby
Argenbright affirmed that if the Acquisitions are not approved by the
stockholders of USQ and the HoldCo Acquisition is consummated, Argenbright will
waive the $200,000 termination fee pursuant to Section 8.3(b) of the Archway
Purchase Agreement. The Argenbright Letter Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.2
to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
As previously disclosed in that Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 27, 2008, on February 26,
2008, USQ entered into definitive agreements to simultaneously acquire in
separate acquisitions 100% of the membership interests of Razor Business
Strategy Consultants LLC ("Razor") from the members of Razor, and 100% of the
issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Archway from Argenbright (the
"Acquisitions"). The special meeting of the stockholders of USQ to vote on the
proposed Acquisitions, among other proposals, is currently scheduled for
September 22, 2008.
On June 23, 2008, in light of the market conditions, USQ's Board of Directors
determined that it was in the best interests of USQ and its stockholders to
explore alternatives in the event the Acquisitions are not completed. As
disclosed in that Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 24,
2008, USQ entered into an agreement with Archway and Argenbright (the
"Argenbright Agreement"), whereby USQ agreed to waive Argenbright's compliance
with the "non-solicitation" provisions of the Archway Purchase Agreement, dated
February 26, 2008 by and between USQ, Argenbright and Archway (the "Archway
Purchase Agreement") and release all claims that USQ may have against
Argenbright in connection with the presentation of an alternative transaction by
certain principals of USQ to Argenbright, provided that the pursuit of such
alternative transactions did not hinder or delay the consummation of the
Acquisitions by USQ. Also, on June 23, 2008, Messrs. Perfall and Burke entered
into a letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement") with Argenbright whereby
Messrs. Perfall and Burke and Argenbright agreed that if Messrs. Perfall and
Burke, on behalf of themselves or their designee, are willing to enter into an
alternative transaction to acquire Archway, then Messrs. Perfall and Burke, on
behalf of themselves or their designee, and Argenbright will negotiate in good
faith in order to enter into a stock purchase agreement on substantially the
same terms as are in the Archway Purchase Agreement, which shall have a
condition to the closing of any alternative transaction be the failure of USQ
stockholders to approve the Acquisitions.

10.2 Letter Agreement, by and among Argenbright, Inc. and Union Street
