ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Stock Purchase Agreements, Separation Agreement, Shareholder Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement

Tanning and Gregory A. Conley, a director of Tanning and our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer, are parties to a stock purchase agreement dated September 14, 2001. Under this agreement, Gregory A. Conley purchased, on various dates from November 2001 to November 2002, a total of 176,788 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a per share price of $4.10, for an aggregate purchase price of $724,831.

Tanning and Bipin Agarwal, a significant beneficial owner of Tanning Common Stock and former director and executive officer, are parties to a letter agreement dated January 25, 2002, regarding the transfer of Tanning shares owned by him. Pursuant to this agreement, Mr. Agarwal transferred 151,874 shares of Tanning Common Stock to the Company to fully repay all amounts outstanding, together with accrued interest, (such amounts totaling $282,486) under his Promissory Note to the Company dated July 30, 1999, as amended July 31, 2001.

Tanning and Larry G. Tanning, our Chairman of the Board, are parties to a letter agreement dated August 13, 2002, regarding the purchase by Tanning of 298,669 Tanning shares owned by Mr. Tanning. Pursuant to this agreement, Mr. Tanning used all proceeds from this transaction to fully repay all amounts outstanding, together with accrued interest, (such amounts totaling $286,722) under his Promissory Note to the Company dated August 1, 1999, as amended August 2, 2001.

Larry G. Tanning, Bipin Agarwal, Toni Hippeli and entities controlled by them, together with the TTC Investors Group, which is comprised of the entities controlled by AEA Investors Inc. that hold our Common Stock, entered into an amended and restated shareholder agreement dated as of July 20, 1999, which originally provided, among other things:

•: the TTC Investors Group may nominate one director to Class II of our board of directors;
•: Tanning Family Partnership, L.L.L.P., which is indirectly controlled by Larry G. Tanning, and WinSoft Corporation, which is controlled by Bipin Agarwal, each may nominate one director to any class of our board of directors;
•: the TTC Investors Group may appoint one member to each of the audit and compensation committees; and
•: all of the parties to the shareholder agreement have agreed to vote the shares of Common Stock owned by them in favor of each other's nominees.

If there are insufficient vacancies in a particular class of directors, the available positions shall be allocated first to the nominee of the TTC Investors Group (as to Class II only), second to the nominee of Tanning Family Partnership, L.L.L.P., and third to the nominee of WinSoft Corporation. The rights of each person mentioned above will terminate when such person no longer owns at least ten percent of our Common Stock.

Because each of Toni Hippeli and Bipin Agarwal, together with entities controlled by them, owns less than 10% of the outstanding Common Stock of Tanning, their rights and obligations under the shareholder agreement have terminated.

The original parties to the shareholder agreement and affiliated entities, together with Mr. Skelsey and Stephen Brobst, have entered into an amended and restated registration rights agreement dated as of July 20, 1999, which provides, among other things:

•: the TTC Investors Group has the right to require the filing of a total of two registration statements with the SEC to register for sale shares of our Common Stock owned by it, or, under

certain circumstances, by the persons who were members of the limited liability companies comprising the TTC Investors Group;

•: holders of a majority of the shares of our Common Stock held by Tanning's founders and Mr. Skelsey have the right to require the filing of one registration statement with the SEC during any twelve month period to register for sale shares of our Common Stock owned by them;
•: the Company has the right to participate in any of the registrations described above and sell shares of its Common Stock under such registration to the extent of 25% of the shares to be sold in such offering; and
•: all parties to the registration rights agreement have rights to participate in registration statements filed by Tanning for the sale of Common Stock in an underwritten offering for its own account, subject to the ability of the underwriters to limit the number of shares included in the registration and giving priority to issuances by Tanning.

The existence and exercise of these registration rights may make it more difficult for us to arrange future financing and may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock.

Certain business relationships

Mr. Fogel, a director of Tanning since August 2002, was a partner at the law firm of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson until November 2002. This law firm performed services for Tanning during 2002, and Tanning expects to continue to retain it during 2003.

Loans to our directors and officers

In connection with a significant reduction in the compensation of Mr. Tanning pursuant to his revised employment agreement, on August 2, 1999 we extended a loan in the amount of $250,000 to Larry G. Tanning, our Chairman of the Board. The loan bore interest at 5.25% per annum through August 1, 2001 and 3.90% per annum thereafter, compounding annually. The loan was repaid in full in August 2002.

On July 30, 1999, we extended a loan to Bipin Agarwal, a director and Executive Vice President of Tanning until January 2002, in the amount of $250,000.

On November 15, 2002, we granted Mr. Gupta an additional option to acquire 10,500 shares of our Common Stock at a purchase price of $2.00 per share. These options vest over a four-year period.

We employed Mark W. Tanning, brother of Larry G. Tanning, on a full-time basis from January 1997 until January 2001, and on a part-time basis until December 31, 2002. In addition to being our Chairman of the Board and former Chief Executive Officer, Larry G. Tanning controls Tanning Family Partnership L.L.L.P., which is a significant stockholder of Tanning.

On April 7, 1997, we granted Mark W. Tanning an option to acquire 49,108 shares of our Common Stock at a purchase price of $2.90 per share. All of these options were fully vested as of April 7, 2000.

On November 1, 1999, we granted him an additional option to acquire 6,250 shares of our Common Stock at a purchase price of $35.00. These options were fully vested as of December 31, 2000.

To the extent the above options have not been exercised by March 31, 2003, they will expire and be cancelled.
