Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

The disclosure under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, or this Current Report, is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 2.01.  Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

As previously reported, we entered a Transaction Agreement with our principal landlord, HPT, on June 1, 2015, to, among other things, sell to HPT five travel centers upon the completion of their development at a purchase price equal to their development costs, including the cost of the land, which costs were estimated to be not more than $118 million in the aggregate.  HPT also agreed to lease back these development properties to us under our leases with HPT.  Also as previously reported, we completed the sale and leaseback of the first of these development properties on March 31, 2016. The Transaction Agreement and related transactions are described further in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, or our Annual Report, and Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, or our Quarterly Report, which descriptions are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Since we entered the Transaction Agreement, we have determined that our development of one of the remaining four development properties that we had agreed to sell to and lease back from HPT is unlikely to be completed prior to the time required in the Transaction Agreement.  We have not yet determined whether and when we may proceed with that development.  On June 22, 2016, we entered a First Amendment to Transaction Agreement, or the Amendment, with HPT to, among other things, replace the sale of that one property which would not be timely completed with two alternative existing travel centers owned by us; and, on June 22, 2016, pursuant to development property agreements we entered with HPT, or the Development Property Agreements, we sold to HPT, for an aggregate of approximately $23.9 million, these two alternative travel centers and HPT leased them back to us.

 

In connection with the Amendment and the Development Property Agreements, we and HPT entered into amendments to our TA Lease 1, TA Lease 2, TA Lease 3, TA Lease 4 and Petro Lease to, among other things, add the travel centers that we sold to HPT on June 22, 2016 and to extend the term of the Petro Lease to 2032.  Minimum annual rent under our TA Lease 1 and TA Lease 3 increased by approximately $1.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively.  As a result of these amendments, minimum annual rent under our TA Lease 1 and TA Lease 3 is approximately $50.3 million and $51.5 million, respectively, subject to future adjustments if HPT purchases capital improvements made to the leased travel centers and pursuant to the contractual rent adjustment formulas set forth in the respective leases.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Transaction Agreement, the Amendment, the Development Property Agreements, the HPT Leases and the amendments thereto, and the other agreements entered into in connection with the Transaction Agreement and the Amendment are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Transaction Agreement, the Amendment, the Development Property Agreements, the HPT Leases and the amendments thereto and such other agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.8 to this Current Report, Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to our Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 31, 2016, Exhibits 10.1 through 10.6 to our Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 23, 2015, Exhibits 10.1 through 10.4 to our Current Report on Form 8-K dated June 23, 2015, Exhibits 10.1 through 10.4 to our Current Report on Form 8-K dated June 16, 2015, Exhibits 10.1 through 10.10 to our Current Report on Form 8-K dated June 9, 2015 and Exhibit 10.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K dated June 1, 2015 and are incorporated by reference herein.

One of our Managing Directors, Mr. Barry Portnoy, is a managing trustee of HPT. Mr. Barry Portnoy’s son, Mr. Adam Portnoy, is also a managing trustee of HPT, and Mr. Barry Portnoy’s son-in-law, Mr. Ethan Bornstein, is an executive officer of HPT. Our other Managing Director, Mr. Thomas O’Brien, who is also our President and Chief Executive Officer, was an executive officer of HPT until 2007. One of our Independent Directors, Mr. Arthur Koumantzelis, was an independent trustee of HPT prior to our spinoff from HPT in 2007. We have significant continuing relationships with HPT, including the lease arrangements referred to in this Current Report.

 

The RMR Group LLC, or RMR, provides business management services to us pursuant to a business management agreement. The RMR Group Inc. is the managing member of RMR, and ABP Trust, which is the controlling shareholder of The RMR Group Inc., is a non-managing member of RMR. Mr. Barry Portnoy and Mr. Adam Portnoy, are the owners of ABP Trust. Mr. Barry Portnoy is the Chairman of RMR and a Managing Director and officer of The RMR Group Inc. and Mr. Adam Portnoy is the President and Chief Executive Officer of RMR and a Managing Director, President and Chief Executive Officer of The RMR Group Inc.

In addition, officers of RMR serve as officers of those other companies to which RMR or its affiliates provides management services.

 

Because of the foregoing relationships between us and HPT, the terms of the Amendment and lease amendments described in this Current Report were negotiated and approved by special committees of our Board of Directors and the HPT Board of Trustees composed of Independent Directors and Independent Trustees who are not also Directors or Trustees of the other party, which committees were represented by separate counsel.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

 

The parties hereto are parties to that certain Transaction Agreement, dated as of June 1, 2015 (the “ Transaction Agreement ”), which Transaction Agreement provides for, inter alia, the purchase and sale of certain Development Properties (this and other capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings given such terms in the Transaction Agreement), including, without limitation, the Development Property located in Quartzsite, Arizona (the “ Quartzsite Development Property ”).

 

The parties hereto now desire to amend the Transaction Agreement to replace the Quartzsite Development Property with the Petro travel centers having addresses at 1035 West State Road 42, Brazil, Indiana (the “ Brazil Property ”) and 4230 West Highway 24, Remington, Indiana (the “ Remington Property ” and, together with the Brazil Property, collectively the “ Additional Indiana Properties ”) and, in connection therewith, to amend the Amended and Restated TA Leases and the Petro Lease in certain respects.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed, effective as of the date hereof, as follows:

3.                                       Additional Indiana Properties .  In lieu of the Quartzsite Development Property, TA Operating will sell, and HPT-TA LLC Landlord will acquire, on the date hereof, the Additional Indiana Properties and any related Intangible Property on the terms and conditions applicable to the purchase and sale of the Development Properties set forth in the Transaction Agreement, as amended hereby, except as otherwise provided herein, in consideration of the payment by HPT of a cash purchase price equal to $23,876,000.00, of which $10,682,000.00 shall be allocated to the Brazil Property and $13,194,000.00 shall be allocated to the Remington Property.  The “base year” for the Additional Indiana Properties shall be the 2017 calendar year.

1.66                         Minimum Rent ” shall mean Fifty Million Three Hundred Nineteen Thousand One Hundred Seventy-Six and 44/100ths Dollars ($50,319,176.44).

 

Exhibit B-1

 



 

4.                                       Leased Property .  Section 2.1(a) of the Lease is hereby amended by deleting the reference to “Exhibits A-1 through A-39” in the second line thereof and replacing it with a reference to “Exhibits A-1 through A-40.”

 

5.                                       Right to Repool Properties .  A new Section 2.5 is added to the Lease immediately after Section 2.4 as follows:

 

2.5                                Right to Repool Properties Landlord shall have the right from time to time in connection with a financing or other capital raising transaction to terminate the Term of this Agreement with respect to one or more Properties and contemporaneously to lease such Properties back to Tenant or an Affiliated Person as to Tenant under one of the Other Leases, and/or that certain Lease Agreement, dated as of May 30, 2007, among HPT PSC Properties Trust, HPT PSC Properties LLC, and Tenant, as amended, and/or one or more new lease(s) as determined by Landlord (a “ repooling ”), provided that Landlord shall have obtained Tenant’s prior written consent to any such repooling, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Each party agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as the other party may reasonably request in connection with any such new lease or repooling, including, without limitation, a new lease, a lease amendment, and a new guaranty from Guarantor or confirmation from Guarantor that its existing Guaranty applies to any such new lease or lease amendment.

2.6                                Right of First Refusal .

 

(a)                            At no time during the term of this Agreement may Tenant or any Affiliated Person as to Tenant (including, without limitation, TCA or any Affiliated Person as to TCA), directly or indirectly, purchase, lease, mortgage or otherwise finance (including through a sale and leaseback transaction), or participate in the purchase, lease, mortgage or financing of, any Travel Center, or any property intended to be used as a Travel Center, other than a Travel Center or property that is operated or proposed to be operated as a “Petro” or “Petro Stopping Center” or otherwise under the “Petro” brand, in the United States or Canada, without first having (i) provided written notice of such proposed transaction to Landlord, describing such proposed transaction in sufficient detail (including pricing and all other material terms) and offering Landlord the right to purchase, lease, mortgage or finance such Travel Center or property and (ii) negotiated in good faith with Landlord.  If, after ten (10) Business Days, Landlord and Tenant (or any applicable Affiliated Person as to Tenant) have not reached agreement on the terms of such purchase, lease, mortgage or financing, Tenant (or such Affiliated Person as to Tenant) will be free to purchase, lease, mortgage or finance such Travel Center or property itself or with others, free of the restrictions of this Section 2.6 .

Exhibit B-1

 



 

terms and that Landlord’s remedy at law for Tenant’s breach of its obligations under this Section 2.6 would be inadequate.  Upon any such breach, Landlord shall be entitled (in addition to any other rights or remedies it may have at law) to seek an injunction enjoining and restraining Tenant and/or such Affiliated Person as to Tenant from continuing such breach.  Tenant agrees that the period of restriction and the geographical area of restriction imposed upon Tenant are fair and reasonable.  If the provisions of this Section 2.6 relating to the period or the area of restriction are determined to exceed the maximum period or areas which a court having jurisdiction over the matter would deem enforceable, such period or area shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to be the maximum period or area which such court determines valid and enforceable.  Nothing contained in this Section 2.6(b)  shall limit Landlord from pursuing any other rights or remedies available to it for any breach by Tenant of any of its obligations under Section 2.6 (including, without limitation, any of the rights or remedies contemplated by Article 12 of this Agreement).

 

7.                                       Exhibit A .  Exhibit A to the Lease is hereby amended by (a) deleting the initial page entitled “EXHIBITS A-1 through A-39” therefrom in its entirety and replacing it with the page entitled “EXHIBITS A-1 through A-40” attached hereto and (b) adding Exhibit A-40 attached to this Amendment immediately following Exhibit A-39 to the Lease.

9.                                       Ratification .  As amended hereby, the Lease is hereby ratified and confirmed and all other terms remain in full force and effect.

 

10.                                Counterparts .  This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

WHEREAS , Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Lease in certain respects; and

 

WHEREAS, Guarantor (this and other capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings given such terms in the Lease) is executing this Amendment to confirm the continuation of the Guaranty;

 

NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the mutual receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree, as of the date of this Amendment, as follows:

 

1.                                       Right to Repool Properties .  A new Section 2.5 is added to the Lease immediately after Section 2.4 as follows:

 

2.5                                Right to Repool Properties Landlord shall have the right from time to time in connection with a financing or other capital raising transaction to terminate the Term of this Agreement with respect to one or more Properties and contemporaneously to lease such Properties back to Tenant or an Affiliated Person as to Tenant under one of the Other Leases, and/or that certain Lease Agreement, dated as of May 30, 2007, among HPT PSC Properties Trust, HPT PSC Properties LLC, and Tenant, as amended, and/or one or more new lease(s) as determined by Landlord (a “ repooling ”), provided that Landlord shall have obtained Tenant’s prior written consent to any such repooling, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Each party agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as the other party may reasonably request in connection with any such new lease or repooling, including, without limitation, a new lease, a lease amendment, and a new guaranty from Guarantor or confirmation from Guarantor that its existing Guaranty applies to any such new lease or lease amendment.

(a)                                  At no time during the term of this Agreement may Tenant or any Affiliated Person as to Tenant (including, without limitation, TCA or any Affiliated Person as to TCA), directly or indirectly, purchase, lease, mortgage or otherwise finance (including through a sale and leaseback transaction), or participate in the purchase, lease, mortgage or financing of, any Travel Center, or any property intended to be used as a Travel Center, other than a Travel Center or property that is operated or proposed to be operated as a “Petro” or “Petro Stopping Center” or otherwise under the “Petro” brand, in the United States or Canada, without first having (i) provided written notice of such proposed transaction to Landlord, describing such proposed transaction in sufficient detail (including pricing and all other material terms) and offering Landlord the right to purchase, lease, mortgage or finance such Travel Center or property and (ii) negotiated in good faith with Landlord.  If, after ten (10) Business Days, Landlord and Tenant (or any applicable Affiliated Person as to Tenant) have not reached agreement on the terms of such purchase, lease, mortgage or financing, Tenant (or such Affiliated Person as to Tenant) will be free to purchase, lease, mortgage or finance such Travel Center or property itself or with others, free of the restrictions of this Section 2.6 .

 

(b)                                  Tenant agrees that irreparable damage would occur if its obligations under this Section 2.6 were not performed in accordance with their terms and that Landlord’s remedy at law for Tenant’s breach of its obligations under this Section 2.6 would be inadequate.  Upon any such breach, Landlord shall be entitled (in addition to any other rights or remedies it may have at law) to seek an injunction enjoining and restraining Tenant and/or such Affiliated Person as to Tenant from continuing such breach.  Tenant agrees that the period of restriction and the geographical area of restriction imposed upon Tenant are fair and reasonable.  If the provisions of this Section 2.6 relating to the period or the area of restriction are determined to exceed the maximum period or areas which a court having jurisdiction over the matter would deem enforceable, such period or area shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to be the maximum period or area which such court determines valid and enforceable.  Nothing contained in this Section 2.6(b)  shall limit Landlord from pursuing any other rights or remedies available to it for any breach by Tenant of any of its obligations under Section 2.6 (including, without limitation, any of the rights or remedies contemplated by Article 12 of this Agreement).

 

Exhibit B-2

 



 

4.                                       Ratification .  As amended hereby, the Lease is hereby ratified and confirmed and all other terms remain in full force and effect.

 

5.                                       Counterparts .  This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

FIRPTA CERTIFICATE

 

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For U.S. federal income tax purposes (including Section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. To inform the transferee that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by TravelCenters of America LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ Transferor ”), pursuant to the Development Property Agreement, dated as of June   , 2016, between TA Operating LLC and HPT TA Properties LLC, Transferor hereby certifies to HPT TA Properties LLC (“ Transferee ”) the following:

 

1.                                       Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and income tax regulations thereunder);

 

2.                                       Transferor is not a disregarded entity as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii);

 

3.                                       TA Operating LLC, which has legal title to one or more transferred U.S. real property interests under local law, is disregarded as an entity separate from Transferor for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

 

4.                                       Transferor’s U.S. employer identification number is 20-5701514; and

 

5.                                       Transferor’s office address is 24601 Center Ridge Road, Westlake, OH 44145.

 

The undersigned and Transferor understand that this certificate may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by Transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.

Under penalties of perjury I declare that I have examined this certification and to the best of my knowledge and belief it is true, correct, and complete, and I further declare that I have the authority to sign this document on behalf of Transferor.

WHEREAS , Guarantor is executing this Amendment to confirm the continuation of the Guaranty;

 

NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the mutual receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree, as of the date of this Amendment, as follows:

 

1.                                       Base Year .  The defined term “Base Year” set forth in Section 1.10 of the Lease shall mean, with respect to the Remington Property, the 2017 calendar year.

 

2.                                       Commencement Date .  The defined term “Commencement Date” set forth in Section 1.18 of the Lease shall mean, with respect to the Remington Property, the date of this Amendment.

 

3.                                       Minimum Rent .  The defined term “Minimum Rent” set forth in Section 1.66 of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

1.66                         “Minimum Rent” shall mean Fifty Million Three Hundred Nineteen Thousand One Hundred Seventy-Six and 44/100ths Dollars ($50,319,176.44).

 



 

4.                                       Leased Property .  Section 2.1(a) of the Lease is hereby amended by deleting the reference to “Exhibits A-1 through A-39” in the second line thereof and replacing it with a reference to “Exhibits A-1 through A-40.”

 

5.                                       Right to Repool Properties .  A new Section 2.5 is added to the Lease immediately after Section 2.4 as follows:

 

2.5                                Right to Repool Properties Landlord shall have the right from time to time in connection with a financing or other capital raising transaction to terminate the Term of this Agreement with respect to one or more Properties and contemporaneously to lease such Properties back to Tenant or an Affiliated Person as to Tenant under one of the Other Leases, and/or that certain Lease Agreement, dated as of May 30, 2007, among HPT PSC Properties Trust, HPT PSC Properties LLC, and Tenant, as amended, and/or one or more new lease(s) as determined by Landlord (a “ repooling ”), provided that Landlord shall have obtained Tenant’s prior written consent to any such repooling, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Each party agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as the other party may reasonably request in connection with any such new lease or repooling, including, without limitation, a new lease, a lease amendment, and a new guaranty from Guarantor or confirmation from Guarantor that its existing Guaranty applies to any such new lease or lease amendment.

 

6.                                       Right of First Refusal .  A new Section 2.6 is added to the Lease immediately after the new Section 2.5 as follows:

 

2.6                                Right of First Refusal .

 

At no time during the term of this Agreement may Tenant or any Affiliated Person as to Tenant (including, without limitation, TCA or any Affiliated Person as to TCA), directly or indirectly, purchase, lease, mortgage or otherwise finance (including through a sale and leaseback transaction), or participate in the purchase, lease, mortgage or financing of, any Travel Center, or any property intended to be used as a Travel Center, other than a Travel Center or property that is operated or proposed to be operated as a “Petro” or “Petro Stopping Center” or otherwise under the “Petro” brand, in the United States or Canada, without first having (i) provided written notice of such proposed transaction to Landlord, describing such proposed transaction in sufficient detail (including pricing and all other material terms) and offering Landlord the right to purchase, lease, mortgage or finance such Travel Center or property and (ii) negotiated in good faith with Landlord.  If, after ten (10) Business Days, Landlord and Tenant (or any applicable Affiliated Person as to Tenant) have not reached agreement on the terms of such purchase, lease, mortgage or financing, Tenant (or such Affiliated Person as to Tenant) will be free to purchase, lease, mortgage or finance such Travel Center or property itself or with others, free of the restrictions of this Section 2.6 .

 

Tenant agrees that irreparable damage would occur if its obligations under this Section 2.6 were not performed in accordance with their terms and that

 

2



 

Landlord’s remedy at law for Tenant’s breach of its obligations under this Section 2.6 would be inadequate.  Upon any such breach, Landlord shall be entitled (in addition to any other rights or remedies it may have at law) to seek an injunction enjoining and restraining Tenant and/or such Affiliated Person as to Tenant from continuing such breach.  Tenant agrees that the period of restriction and the geographical area of restriction imposed upon Tenant are fair and reasonable.  If the provisions of this Section 2.6 relating to the period or the area of restriction are determined to exceed the maximum period or areas which a court having jurisdiction over the matter would deem enforceable, such period or area shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to be the maximum period or area which such court determines valid and enforceable.  Nothing contained in this Section 2.6(b)  shall limit Landlord from pursuing any other rights or remedies available to it for any breach by Tenant of any of its obligations under Section 2.6 (including, without limitation, any of the rights or remedies contemplated by Article 12 of this Agreement).

 

7.                                       Exhibit A .  Exhibit A to the Lease is hereby amended by (a) deleting the initial page entitled “EXHIBITS A-1 through A-39” therefrom in its entirety and replacing it with the page entitled “EXHIBITS A-1 through A-40” attached hereto and (b) adding Exhibit A-40 attached to this Amendment immediately following Exhibit A-39 to the Lease.

 

8.                                       Exhibit C .  Exhibit C to the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with Exhibit C attached to this Amendment.

 

9.                                       Ratification .  As amended hereby, the Lease is hereby ratified and confirmed and all other terms remain in full force and effect.

 

10.                                Counterparts .  This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

W   I   T   N   E   S   S   E   T   H :

 

WHEREAS , Landlord and Tenant are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Lease Agreement No. 2, dated as of June 9, 2015, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Amended and Restated Lease Agreement No. 2, dated as of June 16, 2015, that certain Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Lease Agreement No. 2, dated as of June 23, 2015, and that certain Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Lease No. 2, dated as of September 23, 2015 (as so amended, the “ Lease ”);

 

WHEREAS , Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Lease in certain respects; and

 

WHEREAS, Guarantor (this and other capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings given such terms in the Lease) is executing this Amendment to confirm the continuation of the Guaranty;

 

NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the mutual receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree, as of the date of this Amendment, as follows:

 

1.                                       Right to Repool Properties .  A new Section 2.5 is added to the Lease immediately after Section 2.4 as follows:

 

2.5                                Right to Repool Properties Landlord shall have the right from time to time in connection with a financing or other capital raising transaction to terminate the Term of this Agreement with respect to one or more Properties and contemporaneously to lease such Properties back to Tenant or an Affiliated Person as to Tenant under one of the Other Leases, and/or that certain Lease Agreement, dated as of May 30, 2007, among HPT PSC Properties Trust, HPT PSC Properties LLC, and Tenant, as amended, and/or one or more new lease(s) as determined by Landlord (a “ repooling ”), provided that Landlord shall have obtained Tenant’s prior written consent to any such repooling, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Each party agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as the other party may reasonably request in connection with any such new lease or repooling, including, without limitation, a new lease, a lease amendment, and a new guaranty from Guarantor or confirmation from Guarantor that its existing Guaranty applies to any such new lease or lease amendment.

 



 

3.                                       Right of First Refusal .  A new Section 2.6 is added to the Lease immediately after new Section 2.5 as follows:

 

2.6                                Right of First Refusal .

 

(a)                                  At no time during the term of this Agreement may Tenant or any Affiliated Person as to Tenant (including, without limitation, TCA or any Affiliated Person as to TCA), directly or indirectly, purchase, lease, mortgage or otherwise finance (including through a sale and leaseback transaction), or participate in the purchase, lease, mortgage or financing of, any Travel Center, or any property intended to be used as a Travel Center, other than a Travel Center or property that is operated or proposed to be operated as a “Petro” or “Petro Stopping Center” or otherwise under the “Petro” brand, in the United States or Canada, without first having (i) provided written notice of such proposed transaction to Landlord, describing such proposed transaction in sufficient detail (including pricing and all other material terms) and offering Landlord the right to purchase, lease, mortgage or finance such Travel Center or property and (ii) negotiated in good faith with Landlord.  If, after ten (10) Business Days, Landlord and Tenant (or any applicable Affiliated Person as to Tenant) have not reached agreement on the terms of such purchase, lease, mortgage or financing, Tenant (or such Affiliated Person as to Tenant) will be free to purchase, lease, mortgage or finance such Travel Center or property itself or with others, free of the restrictions of this Section 2.6 .

 

Tenant agrees that irreparable damage would occur if its obligations under this Section 2.6 were not performed in accordance with their terms and that Landlord’s remedy at law for Tenant’s breach of its obligations under this Section 2.6 would be inadequate.  Upon any such breach, Landlord shall be entitled (in addition to any other rights or remedies it may have at law) to seek an injunction enjoining and restraining Tenant and/or such Affiliated Person as to Tenant from continuing such breach.  Tenant agrees that the period of restriction and the geographical area of restriction imposed upon Tenant are fair and reasonable.  If the provisions of this Section 2.6 relating to the period or the area of restriction are determined to exceed the maximum period or areas which a court having jurisdiction over the matter would deem enforceable, such period or area shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to be the maximum period or area which such court determines valid and enforceable.  Nothing contained in this Section 2.6(b)  shall limit Landlord from pursuing any other rights or remedies available to it for any breach by Tenant of any of its obligations under Section 2.6 (including, without limitation, any of the rights or remedies contemplated by Article 12 of this Agreement).

 

4.                                       Ratification .  As amended hereby, the Lease is hereby ratified and confirmed and all other terms remain in full force and effect.

 

2



 

5.                                       Counterparts .  This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

FIFTH AMENDMENT TO
AMENDED AND RESTATED LEASE AGREEMENT NO. 4

 

THIS FIFTH AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED LEASE AGREEMENT NO. 4 (this “ Amendment ”) is made and entered into as of June 22, 2016 by and between HPT TA PROPERTIES TRUST , a Maryland real estate investment trust, and HPT TA PROPERTIES LLC , a Maryland limited liability company, as landlord (collectively, “ Landlord ”), and TA OPERATING LLC , a Delaware limited liability company, as tenant (“ Tenant ”).

 

W   I   T   N   E   S   S   E   T   H :

 

WHEREAS , Landlord and Tenant are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Lease Agreement No. 4, dated as of June 9, 2015, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Amended and Restated Lease Agreement No. 4, dated as of June 16, 2015, that certain Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Lease Agreement No. 4, dated as of June 23, 2015, that certain Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Lease Agreement No. 4, dated as of September 23, 2015, and that certain Fourth Amendment to Amended and Restated Lease Agreement No. 4, dated as of March 31, 2016 (as so amended, the “ Lease ”);

 

WHEREAS , Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Lease in certain respects; and

 

WHEREAS, Guarantor (this and other capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings given such terms in the Lease) is executing this Amendment to confirm the continuation of the Guaranty;

 

NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the mutual receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree, as of the date of this Amendment, as follows:

 

1.                                       Base Year .  In accordance with Section 2.2 of the Transaction Agreement dated June 1, 2015 by and among Landlord, Tenant and certain of their Affiliates, Landlord and Tenant confirm that the defined term “Base Year” set forth in Section 1.10 of the Lease means, with respect to the Property located at 160 State Highway 77, Hillsboro, Texas, the 2019 calendar year.

 

2.                                       Right to Repool Properties .  A new Section 2.5 is added to the Lease immediately after Section 2.4 as follows:

 

2.5                                Right to Repool Properties Landlord shall have the right from time to time in connection with a financing or other capital raising transaction to terminate the Term of this Agreement with respect to one or more Properties and contemporaneously to lease such Properties back to Tenant or an Affiliated Person as to Tenant under one of the Other Leases, and/or that certain Lease Agreement, dated as of May 30, 2007, among HPT PSC Properties Trust, HPT PSC Properties LLC, and Tenant, as amended, and/or one or more new lease(s) as determined by Landlord (a “ repooling ”), provided that Landlord shall have

 



 

obtained Tenant’s prior written consent to any such repooling, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Each party agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as the other party may reasonably request in connection with any such new lease or repooling, including, without limitation, a new lease, a lease amendment, and a new guaranty from Guarantor or confirmation from Guarantor that its existing Guaranty applies to any such new lease or lease amendment.

 

3.                                       Right of First Refusal .  A new Section 2.6 is added to the Lease immediately after the new Section 2.5 as follows:

 

2.6                                Right of First Refusal .

 

(a)                                  At no time during the term of this Agreement may Tenant or any Affiliated Person as to Tenant (including, without limitation, TCA or any Affiliated Person as to TCA), directly or indirectly, purchase, lease, mortgage or otherwise finance (including through a sale and leaseback transaction), or participate in the purchase, lease, mortgage or financing of, any Travel Center, or any property intended to be used as a Travel Center, other than a Travel Center or property that is operated or proposed to be operated as a “Petro” or “Petro Stopping Center” or otherwise under the “Petro” brand, in the United States or Canada, without first having (i) provided written notice of such proposed transaction to Landlord, describing such proposed transaction in sufficient detail (including pricing and all other material terms) and offering Landlord the right to purchase, lease, mortgage or finance such Travel Center or property and (ii) negotiated in good faith with Landlord.  If, after ten (10) Business Days, Landlord and Tenant (or any applicable Affiliated Person as to Tenant) have not reached agreement on the terms of such purchase, lease, mortgage or financing, Tenant (or such Affiliated Person as to Tenant) will be free to purchase, lease, mortgage or finance such Travel Center or property itself or with others, free of the restrictions of this Section 2.6 .

 

Tenant agrees that irreparable damage would occur if its obligations under this Section 2.6 were not performed in accordance with their terms and that Landlord’s remedy at law for Tenant’s breach of its obligations under this Section 2.6 would be inadequate.  Upon any such breach, Landlord shall be entitled (in addition to any other rights or remedies it may have at law) to seek an injunction enjoining and restraining Tenant and/or such Affiliated Person as to Tenant from continuing such breach.  Tenant agrees that the period of restriction and the geographical area of restriction imposed upon Tenant are fair and reasonable.  If the provisions of this Section 2.6 relating to the period or the area of restriction are determined to exceed the maximum period or areas which a court having jurisdiction over the matter would deem enforceable, such period or area shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to be the maximum period or area which such court determines valid and enforceable.  Nothing contained in this Section 2.6(b)  shall limit Landlord from pursuing any other rights or remedies available to it for any breach by Tenant of any of its obligations under Section 2.6 (including,

 

2



 

without limitation, any of the rights or remedies contemplated by Article 12 of this Agreement).

 

4.                                       Ratification .  As amended hereby, the Lease is hereby ratified and confirmed and all other terms remain in full force and effect.

 

5.                                       Counterparts .  This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Exhibit 99.1

 

Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

On June 1, 2015, TravelCenters of America LLC and three of its subsidiaries, which we refer to collectively as we, our, us, or TA, entered into a Transaction Agreement with our principal landlord, Hospitality Properties Trust, and four of its subsidiaries, which we refer to collectively as HPT, as disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 5, 2015. The transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, include (i) the amendment and restatement of our lease with HPT for 144 properties, which we refer to as the Prior TA Lease, (ii) the sale of properties and other assets to, and our lease back of those properties and assets from, HPT, (iii) the purchase of properties from HPT and (iv) the sale to HPT of five travel centers upon the completion of their development, which was then expected to be completed before June 30, 2017, at a purchase price equal to their development costs, including the cost of land, which costs were estimated to be not more than $118.0 million in the aggregate, and our lease back of these properties from HPT.

 

On June 22, 2016, we entered into a First Amendment to Transaction Agreement, or the Amendment, with HPT to, among other things, replace one of the five development properties that we had agreed to sell to and lease back from HPT with two alternative existing travel centers owned by us.

 

Since June 1, 2015, we completed certain of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement and the Amendment as summarized below:

 

·                    On June 9, 2015, the Prior TA Lease was expanded and subdivided into four new leases, which we refer to collectively as the New TA Leases. The initial terms for the New TA Leases end on December 31, 2026, 2028, 2029 and 2030. Each of the New TA Leases grants us two renewal options of 15 years each.

 

·                    On June 9, 2015, HPT purchased from us, for $183.4 million, 10 travel centers we owned and certain assets we owned at eight properties we leased from HPT under the Prior TA Lease. HPT leased back these properties to us under the New TA Leases. Our annual rent increased by $15.8 million as a result of the sale and leaseback of properties completed on June 9, 2015.

 

·                    On June 9, 2015, we purchased from HPT, for $45.0 million, five travel centers that we previously leased from HPT under the Prior TA Lease. Our annual rent decreased by $3.9 million as a result of our completion of the purchase of these properties.

 

·                    On June 16, 2015, HPT purchased from us, for $24.4 million, one travel center we owned and certain assets we owned at another travel center that we lease from HPT under one of the New TA Leases and HPT leased back the travel center and assets to us under two of the New TA Leases. Our annual rent increased by $2.1 million as a result of the sale and leaseback of the travel center and assets completed on June 16, 2015.

 

·                    On June 23, 2015, HPT purchased from us, for $20.1 million, one travel center we owned and certain assets we owned at another travel center that we lease from HPT under one of the New TA Leases and HPT leased back the travel center and assets to us under two of the New TA Leases. Our annual rent increased by $1.7 million as a result of the sale and leaseback of the travel center and assets completed on June 23, 2015.

 

·                    On September 23, 2015, HPT purchased from us, for $51.5 million, two travel centers we owned and certain assets we owned at another travel center that we lease from HPT under one of the New TA Leases and HPT leased back the two travel centers and assets to us under three of the New TA Leases. Our annual rent increased by $4.4 million as a result of the sale and leaseback of the travel center and assets completed on September 23, 2015.

 

·                    On March 31, 2016, HPT purchased from us, for $19.7 million, one travel center we developed and owned and HPT leased back the travel center to us under one of the New TA Leases. Our annual rent increased by $1.7 million as a result of the sale and leaseback of the travel center completed on March 31, 2016.

 



 

·                    On June 22, 2016, pursuant to the Amendment, HPT purchased from us, for $23.9 million, two travel centers we owned and HPT leased back these two travel centers to us under two of the New TA Leases. Our annual rent increased by $2.0 million as a result of the sale and leaseback of the travel centers completed on June 22, 2016.

 

As of June 22, 2016, after giving effect to the above referenced transactions completed through that date, we leased a total of 156 properties from HPT under the New TA Leases.

The pro forma financial statements included herein include adjustments related to the amendments to the terms of our leases with HPT and our purchase of assets and our sale and lease back of assets on June 9, 2015, June 16, 2015, June 23, 2015, September 23, 2015, March 31, 2016, and June 22, 2016. The pro forma financial statements do not reflect adjustments related to the future sale and lease back of the remaining three properties we expect to sell to HPT after we have completed the construction of travel centers at those properties, as contemplated in the Transaction Agreement. The pro forma financial statements also do not reflect adjustments to rent payable to HPT as a result of our sales to HPT during the periods presented of improvements at properties that we lease from HPT, for periods prior to the dates HPT purchased such improvements. Such improvements totaled $20.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016, and $99.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2015, and, in accordance with the leases, annual minimum rent at the time HPT purchased these improvements was increased by 8.5% of the amount of the improvements purchased by HPT. No pro forma adjustments have been made to reflect the results of operations for periods prior to our acquisitions of the travel centers and convenience stores we acquired from parties other than HPT during the periods presented, or to eliminate the one time acquisition costs related to such acquisition activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, and the year ended December 31, 2015, we incurred $1.0 million and $5.0 million of acquisition costs, respectively.

 

The adjustments to the pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2016, assume that these transactions occurred on that date. The adjustments to the pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and for the year ended December 31, 2015, assume that these transactions occurred on January 1, 2015. The pro forma financial statements are primarily based on, and should be read in conjunction with, our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which we refer to as our Annual Report, and our unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, which we refer to as our Quarterly Report.

 

The historical consolidated financial information of TA has been adjusted in the pro forma financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the transactions, (2) factually supportable, and (3) expected to have a continuing impact on the results of operations. The pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(In thousands, unless indicated otherwise)

 

Note 1.          Basis of Presentation

 

The condensed consolidated pro forma financial statements were derived from historical financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and should be read in conjunction with our Annual and Quarterly Reports. The pro forma financial statements are presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what our results of operations actually would have been had the transaction been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the pro forma financial statements do not purport to project our future operating results. The accompanying pro forma financial statements do not reflect adjustments related to the expected sale and lease back of the three remaining properties we agreed to sell to HPT after we have completed the construction of travel centers at those properties.

 

 

Note 2. Pro Forma Transaction Adjustments

 

The condensed consolidated pro forma financial statements were prepared based on our historical consolidated financial statements and include adjustments for the amendments to the terms of our leases with HPT and our purchase of assets and our sale and lease back of assets on June 9, 2015, June 16, 2015, June 23, 2015, September 23, 2015, March 31, 2016, and June 22, 2016.

 

The historical consolidated financial information of TA has been adjusted in the pro forma financial statements to give effect to events that are (1) directly attributable to the transactions, (2) factually supportable, and (3) expected to have a continuing impact on the results of operations. The pro forma statements of income do not reflect the one time transaction related expense adjustment described in note (g) below.

 

Pro Forma Balance Sheet Adjustments

 

(a)                Cash

 

The adjustment to cash totaling $23,876 is comprised of proceeds from the sale to HPT of two travel centers. The pro forma statements of income do not assume investment income related to the net increase in cash from the transactions.

 

(b)                Property and equipment, net

 

The adjustment to property and equipment, net totaling $12,024 reflects the sale of two travel centers to HPT.

 

(c)                 Deferred Gain

 

In conjunction with the sale of two travel centers we recognized an aggregate deferred gain of $11,852 which is to be amortized as a reduction to rent expense over the term of the respective leases on a straight line basis.

 

The deferred gain is comprised as follows:

 

Total deferred gain

 

$

11,852

 

Less: current portion of deferred gain

Long term deferred gain

 

$

Pro Forma Statements of Income Adjustments

 

(d)                Real estate rent

(1)  On June 9, 2015, June 16, 2015, June 23, 2015, and September 23, 2015, we completed certain of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, as described above. Our historical results for the year ended December 31, 2015, include the effects of those completed transactions from those respective dates.

 

Taking into account the transaction completed on June 22, 2016, our annual run rate rent expense as of March 31, 2016 was as follows:

 

Annual rent payments obligation

 

$

272,230

 

Adjustments:

 

 

 

Less: Amortization of deferred gain

 

(9,920

)

Less: Net amortization of deferred rent credits and accruals

 

(6,845

Less: Portion of rent payment recognized as principal and interest payments related to sale leaseback financing obligation

 

(2,138

Annual run rate rent expense as of March 31, 2016

 

$

253,327

 

 

The annual run rate rent expense as of March 31, 2016, does not take into account future increases in rent that may result from sales of improvements to HPT and from percentage rent.

(e)                 Depreciation and amortization

 

Adjustments to depreciation and amortization expense in the pro forma statements of income consisted of the following:

 

 

 

Three Months Ended
March 31, 2016

 

Year Ended
December 31, 2015

Adjustment to remove depreciation expense related to the assets sold to HPT

 

$

(203)

 

$

(4,360)

Adjustment to remove depreciation expense related to properties that qualified for sale leaseback accounting effective June 1, 2015

 

 

(313)

 

 

$

(203)

 

$

(4,673)

 

(f)                  Provision for income taxes

 

The pro forma transaction adjustments have been tax affected at a blended statutory federal and state income tax rate of 38.9%.

 

(g)                 Loss on extinguishment of debt

 

The purchase of five properties on June 9, 2015, that we formerly leased from HPT and subleased to franchisees, resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $10,502 because the lease of these properties had been accounted for as a financing and the purchase prices paid for the properties exceeded the unamortized balance of the sale leaseback financing obligation. This loss on extinguishment of debt is eliminated and not reflected in the pro forma statements of income because it is non-recurring.
