On November 6, 2017, Overstock.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Overstock ”), and its wholly owned subsidiary O.Com Land LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“ O.Com Land ”):

 

(a)           borrowed $40 million (the “ New Loan ”) from PCL L.L.C., a Utah limited liability company directly or indirectly wholly owned by relatives of Overstock’s Chief Executive Officer Patrick Byrne as more fully described below,

 

(b)           repaid the entire outstanding indebtedness (approximately $45 million principal amount) under their syndicated senior secured credit facility with U.S. Bank National Association ( “ U.S. Bank ”) and Compass Bank (collectively, the “ Banks ”),

 

(c)           terminated all or substantially all of their obligations under the Loan Agreement dated as of October 24, 2014  by and between Overstock, O.Com Land and the Banks, as amended to date (the “ Prior Loan Agreement ”) and the collateral and other agreements relating to the Prior Loan Agreement, all as more fully described below,

 

(d)           terminated the ISDA Master Agreements and Schedules they had entered into with U.S. Bank and Compass Bank, respectively, in connection with the Prior Loan Agreement and paid all amounts due thereunder, and

 

(e)           terminated the Master Lease Agreement dated as of November 6, 2015 and the related Financial Covenants Rider and all related schedules, all as amended to date (collectively, the Master Lease Agreement ”) to which Overstock and U.S. Bank Equipment Finance, a division of U.S. Bank National Association, were parties, and paid all amounts due thereunder.

 

The material agreements entered into, and the material agreements terminated, are identified more specifically below in this Form 8-K.

 

The parties to the agreements governing the New Loan are Overstock and O.Com Land, as borrowers, mortgagor and/or guarantor, and PCL L.L.C., a Utah limited liability company (“PCL”), as the lender.  PCL is directly or indirectly wholly owned by John Byrne, who is the brother of Patrick Byrne, and Dorothy Byrne, who is the mother of Patrick Byrne and John Byrne.

 

John Byrne is the beneficial owner of 520,531 shares of Overstock common stock.  Dorothy Byrne is not the beneficial owner of any shares of Overstock common stock. Robert Snyder and Daniel Mosle, as co-trustees of certain trusts created by Dorothy Byrne and/or the late Jack Byrne, filed a Schedule 13G with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 2, 2017 reporting beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 1,694,425 shares of Overstock common stock (approximately 6.8% of the outstanding shares) as of December 31, 2016.  Overstock believes that such trustees are the beneficial owners of substantially the same number of shares on the date of this filing.

 

Patrick Byrne is Overstock’s Chief Executive Officer and is a member of Overstock’s Board of Directors.  He is the beneficial owner of 6,612,122 shares of Overstock common stock (approximately 26.4% of the outstanding shares).

He is also the beneficial owner of 63,775 shares of Overstock’s Blockchain Voting Series A Preferred Stock (approximately 50% of the outstanding Blockchain Voting Series A Preferred Stock), which he purchased from Overstock for $1,000,000 in a rights offering in December 2016.  He is the largest stockholder of Overstock.  In connection with Dr. Byrne’s purchase of the shares of Blockchain Voting Series A Preferred Stock, Overstock entered into a registration rights agreement with Dr. Byrne for his benefit and the benefit of any other affiliates of Overstock who acquired shares of the Blockchain Voting Series A Preferred Stock or the Voting Series B Preferred Stock we issued in December 2016, and that registration rights agreement remains in effect.

 

Dr. Byrne also owns 100% of the equity interest in and controls Haverford Valley, L.C. and certain affiliated entities which make travel arrangements for Overstock executives and pay the travel-related expenses incurred by the executives on Overstock’s business. In 2016, the amount Overstock reimbursed Haverford Valley, L.C. for these expenses was $703,159. Although the amount of these reimbursements in 2017 is unknown, the amount will exceed $120,000. The amounts Overstock pays to Haverford Valley, L.C. as reimbursement of air travel expenses are at estimated commercially available airline rates. The other amounts Overstock reimburses to Haverford Valley, L.C. are reimbursed at actual cost.

 

The New Loan is governed by a Loan Agreement dated November 6, 2017 (the “ Loan Agreement ”) and evidenced by a Promissory Note in the principal amount of $40 million dated November 6, 2017 made by O.Com Land (the “ Promissory Note ”).  Overstock may pre-pay the entire amount of the New Loan at any time without penalty or premium.  The New Loan is secured by a Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents, Assignment of Leases, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing dated November 6, 2017 made by O.Com Land (the “ Deed of Trust ”) on Overstock’s corporate headquarters, the land on which the headquarters are located, all fixtures and certain personal property related to the corporate headquarters building (the “ Property ”).  The New Loan is guaranteed by Overstock pursuant to a Guaranty of Overstock.com, Inc. dated November 6, 2017 (the “ Guaranty ”). In connection with the New Loan, O.Com Land entered into an Environmental Indemnity Agreement dated November 6, 2017 for the benefit of PCL pursuant to which O.Com Land agreed to operate the Property in accordance with all applicable environmental laws, agreed not to allow hazardous materials on the Property, subject to exceptions in compliance with applicable regulations, agreed to various other matters regarding environmental matters, and indemnified PCL against liability for environmental claims (the “ Environmental Indemnity Agreement ”). O.Com Land, Overstock and PCL also entered into a Lease Subordination Agreement dated November 6, 2017 (the “ Subordination Agreement ”), pursuant to which Overstock subordinated its interest as the lessee of the Property, which is owned by O.Com Land, to PCL’s possible fee ownership if PCL were to acquire title to the Property as a result of a default on the New Loan.  The New Loan bears interest at 8.0% annually, with a default rate of 18% annually.  The New Loan is for a term of 18 months, with all principal and any then unpaid interest due on May 1, 2019 (subject to mandatory prepayment in the event of a sale of the headquarters building or of Overstock or all or substantially all of its assets, or certain other significant events, as described below).  Interest is payable monthly, with the first interest payment due December 1, 2017.  Overstock paid PCL an origination fee of 1% ($400,000) in connection with the extension of the New Loan.

 

The Loan Agreement and the Deed of Trust and other agreements relating to the New Loan include a number of affirmative and negative covenants and various matters that would require prepayment of the New Loan and/or constitute a default under the Loan Agreement and/or the Deed of Trust, including provisions regarding the following matters that would (i) require prepayment of the New Loan, (ii) violate the covenants, and/or (iii) constitute an Event of Default: Overstock merges with or acquires or consolidates with any other entity, Overstock changes ownership, changes its name or effectuates a material changes in its, or its affiliate’s capital structure, Overstock engages in any business activities substantially different from those in which it is now engaged, the decision making and control of O.Com Land and/or Overstock change in any material respect after the date of the Loan Agreement, the diminution in Patrick Byrne’s ownership of Overstock, the loss of management control of Overstock by Patrick Byrne, and/or Overstock, or any of its affiliates, shall materially change its/their ownership and/or equity structure.  Additional affirmative and negative covenants and various matters that would require prepayment of the New Loan and/or constitute a default under the Loan Agreement and/or the Deed of Trust include O.Com Land’s sale, conveyance or alienation of the Property or any part of it or any interest in it, whether voluntary or involuntary, any further encumbrance of the Property, and withdrawal of O.Com Land’s manager.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, O.COM LAND, LLC (hereafter the “Maker”) of 799 W. Coliseum Way, Midvale, UT 84047, promises to pay to the order of PCL L.L.C., a Utah limited liability company, its successors or assigns (sometimes referred to herein as “Holder”), at its office at 10011 South Centennial Parkway, Suite 275, Sandy City, Utah 84070, or at such other place as the Holder may from time to time designate in writing, the principal sum of FORTY MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($40,000,000.00), together with interest on the unpaid balance hereof, at the rate herein below provided, to be paid in lawful money of the United States of America as follows:

 

1.                                       As used herein, “Indebtedness” means the principal sum of FORTY MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($40,000,000.00) or so much thereof as may be outstanding from time to time, together with interest thereon, and such other sums which may become due pursuant to this Note and other documents securing repayment of this Note.

 

2.                                       For the entire eighteen (18) month term of this Note (“Term”), interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance at the fixed annual rate of Eight Percent (8.00%).

 

NOTICE:  Under no circumstance will the interest rate on this Note be more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law .  Interest on this Note is computed on a simple interest basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a year of 365 days, times the outstanding principal balance, times the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding.  Maker will pay Lender at Lender’s address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing.  Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any unpaid collection costs, then to unpaid interest, and any remaining amount to principal.

 

3.                                       During the Term of this Note, Maker shall make monthly interest-only payments (the “Monthly Payments).  The Monthly Payments shall be made in arrears.  The first Monthly Payment shall be made on or before December 1, 2017.  Monthly Payments shall be made on the 1st day of each of the succeeding months through April 1, 2019.  The unpaid balance of the Loan, any accrued but unpaid interest and all unpaid principal, shall be repaid on or before the Maturity Date.  The payment due on the Maturity Date will be a balloon payment.  Maker may prepay this Note in full without prepayment penalty. Partial prepayments of principal shall not be allowed without the written consent of the Holder.  Maker shall be required to prepay this Note in full in conjunction with the happening of certain events described in the Loan Agreement of even date herewith.

4.                                       Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary all outstanding principal and any accrued but unpaid interest hereunder shall, in all events, be due and payable in full on or before the May 1, 2019 Maturity Date.

 

5.                                       If (a) default occurs hereunder; or (b)  if default be made in the performance of any of the covenants or conditions of this Note, any instrument or agreement securing this Note, or of any other instrument executed in connection with this Note including the Loan Agreement, or by which this Note is secured; or (c)  if default be made in payment of the principal; or (d) if the interest is not paid when due, time being the essence hereof; then the entire principal balance, with interest as aforesaid, shall, at the election of the Holder hereof and without notice of said election, at once become due and payable.  If default be made in the payment of any sum due hereunder when due or if default be made in the performance of any of the covenants or conditions of this Note, any instrument or agreement securing this Note, or of any other instrument executed in connection with this Note including the Loan Agreement, or by which this Note is secured, then the rate of interest accruing hereunder (both before and after judgment) shall automatically and immediately increase to an annual interest rate of Eighteen percent (18%) per annum.  In the event any such default is thereafter fully cured and this Note is reinstated, the interest rate hereunder shall then revert to the rate then in effect under Paragraph 2 of this Note.

 

6.                                       Maker hereby agrees to pay to the Holder a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of any late payment, including the payment due on the Maturity Date, but in no event to exceed the maximum allowable by law, on any sums not paid within ten (10) days after their due date.

 

7.                                       The Maker and any guarantors and/or endorsers of this Note for themselves, their heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns, respectively and severally, waive presentment, demand, protest and notice of dishonor and waive any right to be released by reason of any extension of time or change in terms of payment or any change, alteration or release of any security given for the payment hereof.  The Maker and any guarantors and/or endorsers of this Note for themselves, their heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns, further, jointly and severally, agree to pay (i) all costs of collection, including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees, and all expenses in connection with the protection or realization of the collateral securing this Note or the enforcement of any endorsement hereof incurred by the Holder of this Note on account of such collection, whether or not suit is filed hereon, and including, without limitation, all costs and expenses incurred by Holder in connection with any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement or other similar proceedings involving the Maker or involving any guarantor or endorser hereof, or which in any way affect the exercise by the Holder of any of its rights and remedies hereunder or under any instrument or agreement securing this Note or executed in connection therewith, and (ii) all costs and expenses incurred in defending any action or counterclaim brought by the Maker against Holder pertaining to this Note or any instrument or agreement securing this Note or executed in connection herewith in which the Maker does not prevail, including all costs and expenses incurred on appeal.

 

8.                                       All payments hereon shall be in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds, and shall be applied first to collection costs, then to accrued interest and late charges, and then to principal.

9.                                       All agreements between the Maker and the Holder of this Note are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of deferment in accordance with this Note or any agreement, or advancement of the loan proceeds, acceleration of maturity of the loan, or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Holder hereof for the loan, use, forbearance or detention of the money to be loaned hereunder exceed the maximum permissible under applicable law.  If, from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or any instrument or document securing this Note or any other agreement between the parties, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then, ipso facto , the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity.  This provision shall never be superseded or waived and shall control every other provision of all agreements between the Maker and Holder.

 

10.                                The provisions hereof shall be deemed independent and severable, and the invalidity or partial invalidity or unenforceability of any one provision or portion hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.  This Note will be governed by the laws of the State of Utah.

 

11.                                This Note with interest is secured by (i) a first deed of trust lien upon the real property commonly described as The Peace Coliseum located in Salt Lake County, Utah, with an address of 799 W. Coliseum Way, Midvale, UT 84047, and assignments and security interests as more particularly described and evidenced by a Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents, Assignment of Leases, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing dated even date herewith, (ii) such other collateral and security documents as required by the Holder.

 

12.                                This loan has been made in reliance upon the skill and abilities of the Maker and the individuals, shareholders, entities or partners constituting Maker as well as its financial strength.  In the event that the Maker shall, without the express written consent of the Holder, voluntarily or involuntarily sell, transfer, dispose of, lose, diminish, reduce or further encumber or agree to sell, transfer, dispose of, lose, diminish, reduce or further encumber all or any portion of or any interest in the Property described in the Deed of Trust and/or any security agreement described in Paragraph 11 above, then the Holder of this Note may, at its option, declare the entire indebtedness evidenced hereby immediately due and payable.

1.05                            Delivery of Policies, Payment of Premiums .  All policies of insurance shall be issued by companies and in amounts in each company satisfactory to Beneficiary.

1.06                            Insurance Proceeds .  After the happening of any casualty to the Trust Estate or any part thereof, Trustor shall give prompt written notice thereof to Beneficiary.  Provided that there is no default under the terms of the Loan Instruments and, except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, if the damage to the Improvements does not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the

insurable value thereof or Trustor is obligated under the terms of any contract or agreement with another party to deliver the proceeds or repair or rebuild and if Trustor shall within one hundred twenty (120) days after any such loss give notice to Beneficiary that it elects to repair or rebuild or cause to be repaired and rebuilt the Trust Estate, except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, Beneficiary shall have no option to retain insurance proceeds and apply the same to the payment of the sum secured by this Deed of Trust, but shall pay such proceeds over to reimburse the Trustor from time to time, for expenditures made for repair of the improvements on the Property or for the erection of the improvements on the Property or for the erection of new improvements in their place as hereafter provided.  If Beneficiary is not required to pay over such proceeds to the Trustor under the Agreement or otherwise, then the insurance proceeds shall be applied by Beneficiary toward payment of the sum secured by this Deed of Trust and the excess, if any, shall be paid over to Trustor without any yield maintenance or prepayment penalty or premium, provided, however, that Beneficiary may elect to apply such proceeds to repair or rebuild the Trust Estate.  Except as otherwise set forth above or in the Agreement:

 

A.                                        In the event of election to repair or rebuild by either Trustor or Beneficiary, such insurance proceeds shall be held by the Beneficiary as a fund for the purpose of paying for the cost of work required to repair or restore the Trust Estate and doing such work as may be necessary to protect the Trust Estate against further injury.  The Beneficiary may commingle such fund with its own funds and Trustor shall be entitled to no interest thereon.  At the request of Borrower, Lender shall deposit the insurance proceeds in an independent interest bearing account.  If the insurance proceeds held by the Beneficiary shall exceed such cost, such excess shall belong to Beneficiary upon completion of and payment for such work, and such excess shall be applied to the payment of the sums secured by this Deed of Trust.

 

B.                                        In the event Trustor is proceeding with repairs or rebuilding, such insurance proceeds shall be paid by the Beneficiary as the work progresses upon Trustor’s request and against a certificate by Trustor dated no more than thirty (30) days prior to such request, setting forth the following:

 

(l)  That the sum then requested either has been paid by Trustor, or is justly due to contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, engineers, architects, or other persons who have rendered services or furnished materials for the work therein specified, and giving a brief description of such services and materials and the several amounts so paid or due to each of said persons in respect thereof; and

 

(2)  That the cost, as estimated by the persons signing such certificate, of the work required to be done subsequent to the date of such certificate in order to complete the same, does not exceed ninety percent (90%) of the insurance proceeds or any other funds referable to the work remaining in the hands of the Beneficiary after payment of the sum requested in such certificate.

 

C.                                        An opinion of counsel or other evidence, reasonably satisfactory to the Beneficiary, shall be furnished, to the effect that there has not been filed with respect to the Trust Estate or any part thereof any vendor’s, mechanic’s, laborer’s, materialmen’s or other like lien,

 

7



 

which has not been discharged of record, except such as will be discharged by payment of the amount then requested.

 

1.07                            Assignment of Policies upon Foreclosure .  In the event of foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or other transfer of title or assignment of the Trust Estate in extinguishment in whole or in part, of the debt secured hereby, all right, title and interest of Trustor in and to all policies of insurance required by this Section shall inure to the benefit of and pass to the successor in interest to Trustor or the purchaser or grantee of the Trust Estate.

 

1.08                            Indemnification; Subrogation; Waiver of Offset .

1.10                    Taxes and Impositions .

 

A.                                Trustor agrees to pay, at least ten (10) days prior to delinquency, all real property taxes and assessments, general and special, and all other taxes and assessments of any kind or nature whatsoever, including without limitation non-governmental levies or assessments such as maintenance charges, owner association dues or charges or fees, levies or charges resulting from covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Trust Estate, which are assessed or imposed upon the Trust Estate, or become due and payable, and which create, may create or appear to create a lien upon the Trust Estate, or any part thereof, or upon the Personal Property, equipment or other facility used in the operation or maintenance thereof (all of which taxes, assessments and other governmental charges of like nature are hereinafter referred to as “Impositions”); provided, however, that if, by law, any such Imposition is payable, or may at the option of the taxpayer be paid, in installments, Trustor must pay the same, together with any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition, in installments as the same become due and before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added thereto for the nonpayment of any such installment and interest.

 

B.                                If at any time after the date hereof there shall be assessed or imposed (i) a tax or assessment on the Trust Estate in lieu of or in addition to the Impositions payable by Trustor pursuant to subparagraph A hereof, or (ii) a license fee, tax or assessment imposed on Beneficiary and measured by or based in whole or in part upon the amount of the outstanding obligations secured hereby, then all such taxes, assessments or fees shall be deemed to be included within the term “impositions” as defined in subparagraph A hereof, and Trustor shall pay and discharge the same as herein provided with respect to the payment of Impositions or, at the option of Beneficiary, all obligations secured hereby, together with all accrued interest thereon, shall immediately become due and payable.  Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, Trustor shall have no obligation to pay any franchise, estate, inheritance, income, excess profits or similar tax levied on Beneficiary or on the obligations secured hereby.

 

C.                                Subject to the provisions of subparagraph D of this Section l.10, Trustor covenants to furnish Beneficiary within thirty (30) days after the date upon which any such Imposition is due and payable by Trustor, official receipts of the appropriate taxing authority, or other proof satisfactory to Beneficiary, evidencing the payments thereof.

 

D.                                Trustor shall have the right before any delinquency occurs to contest or object to the amount or validity of any such Imposition by appropriate legal proceedings, but this shall not be deemed or construed in any way as relieving, modifying or extending Trustor’s covenant to pay any such Imposition at the time and in the manner provided in this Section l.10, unless Trustor has given prior written notice to Beneficiary of Trustor’s intent to so contest or object to any Imposition, and unless, (i) at Beneficiary’s satisfaction that the legal proceedings shall conclusively operate to prevent the sale of the Trust Estate, or any part thereof, to satisfy such Imposition prior to final determination of such proceedings; or (ii) Trustor shall furnish a good

and sufficient bond or surety as requested by and satisfactory to Beneficiary; or (iii) Trustor shall have provided a good and sufficient undertaking as may be required or permitted by law to accomplish a stay of such proceedings.

 

E.                                 After an event of default, at the request of Beneficiary, Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary, on the day installments of principal and/or interest are payable under the Note, until the Indebtedness is paid in full, an amount equal to one-twelfth of the annual Impositions reasonably estimated by Beneficiary to pay the installment of taxes next due on the Trust Estate.  In such event, Trustor further agrees to cause all bills, statements or other documents relating to Impositions to be sent or mailed directly to Beneficiary.  Upon receipt of such bills, statements or other documents, and providing Trustor has deposited sufficient funds with Beneficiary pursuant to this Section l.10, Beneficiary shall pay such amounts as may be due thereunder out of the funds so deposited with Beneficiary.  If at any time and for any reason the funds deposited with Beneficiary are or will be insufficient to pay such amounts as may then or subsequently be due, Beneficiary shall notify Trustor and Trustor shall immediately deposit an amount equal to such deficiency with Beneficiary.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall cause Beneficiary to be deemed a trustee of said fund or to be obligated to pay any amounts in excess of the amount of funds deposited with Beneficiary pursuant to this Section 1.10.  Beneficiary shall not be obliged to pay or allow any interest on any sums held by Beneficiary pending disbursement or application hereunder, and Beneficiary may impound or reserve for future payment of Impositions such portion of such payments as Beneficiary may in its absolute discretion deem proper.  Should Trustor fail to deposit with Beneficiary (exclusive of that portion of said payments which has been applied by Beneficiary on the principal of or interest on the indebtedness secured by the Loan Instruments) sums sufficient to fully pay such Impositions at least thirty (30) days before delinquency thereof, Beneficiary may, at Beneficiary’s election, but without any obligation so to do, advance any amounts required to make up the deficiency, which advances, if any, shall be secured hereby and shall be repayable to Beneficiary as herein elsewhere provided, or at the option of Beneficiary, Beneficiary may, without making any advance whatever, apply any other sums held by Beneficiary against any obligation of the Trustor secured hereby, including but not limited to the payment of Impositions.  Should any default occur or exist on the part of the Trustor in the payment or performance of any of Trustor’s obligations under the terms of the Loan Instruments, Beneficiary may, at any time at Beneficiary’s option, apply any sums or amounts in its hands received pursuant hereto, or as rents or income of the Trust Estate or otherwise, upon any indebtedness or obligation of the Trustor secured hereby in such manner and order as Beneficiary may elect.  Beneficiary agrees that receipt, use or application of any such sums paid by Trustor to Beneficiary hereunder shall not be construed to affect the maturity of any indebtedness secured by this Deed of Trust or any of the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee under the terms of the Loan Instruments or any of the obligations of Trustor under this Deed of Trust.

 

F.                                  Trustor covenants and agrees not to suffer, permit or initiate the joint assessment of the Property and the Personal Property, or any other procedure whereby the lien of the real property taxes and the lien of the personal property taxes shall be assessed, levied or charged to the Trust Estate as a single lien.

B.                                After deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Trustee and of this Trust, including costs or evidence of title in connection with sale, and all attorneys’ fees incurred in connection

C.                                Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of the Trust Estate by public announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by public announcement at the time fixed by the preceding postponement or subsequently noticed sale, and without further notice, except as required by Utah law, make such sale at the time fixed by the last postponement, or may, in its discretion, give a new notice of sale.

 

3.04                    Foreclosure as Mortgage .  Should Beneficiary elect to foreclose this Deed of Trust in the manner provided by law for the foreclosure of mortgages on real property, Beneficiary shall be entitled to recover in such proceeding all costs and expenses incident thereto, including a reasonable attorney’s fee in such amount as shall be fixed by the court.  Beneficiary shall be entitled to possession of the Property during any redemption period allowed under the laws of the State of Utah.

 

3.05                    Appointment of Receiver .  If an event of default described in Section 3.01 of this Deed of Trust shall have occurred and be continuing, Beneficiary, as a matter of right and without notice to Trustor or anyone claiming under Trustor, and without regard to the then value of the Trust Estate or the interest of Trustor therein, shall have the right to apply to any court having jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or receivers of the Trust Estate, and Trustor hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives notice of any application therefor.  Any such receiver or receivers shall have all the usual powers and duties of Beneficiary in case of entry as provided in Section 3.02 and shall continue as such and exercise all such powers until the date of confirmation of sale of the Trust Estate unless such receivership is sooner terminated.

 

3.06                    Remedies Not Exclusive .  Trustee and Beneficiary, and each of them, shall be entitled to enforce payment and performance of any indebtedness or obligations secured hereby and to exercise all rights and powers under this Deed of Trust or under any Loan Instrument or other agreement or any laws now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding some or all of the said indebtedness and obligations secured hereby may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by mortgage, deed of trust, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise.  Neither the acceptance of this Deed of Trust nor its enforcement, whether by court action or pursuant to the power of sale or other powers herein contained, shall prejudice or in any manner affect Trustee’s or Beneficiary’s right to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by Trustee or Beneficiary, it being agreed that Trustee and Beneficiary, and each of them, shall be entitled to enforce this Deed of Trust and any other security now or hereafter held by Beneficiary or Trustee in such order and manner as they or either of them may in their absolute discretion determine.  No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Trustee or Beneficiary is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.  Every power or remedy given by any of the Loan Instruments to Trustee or Beneficiary or to which either of them may be otherwise entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Trustee or Beneficiary, and either of them may pursue inconsistent remedies.  The failure on the part of Beneficiary to promptly enforce any right hereunder shall not operate as a waiver of such right.

3.07                    Request for Notice .  Trustor hereby requests a copy of any notice of default and that any notice of sale hereunder be mailed to it at the address set forth in the first paragraph of this Deed of Trust.

GUARANTY OF OVERSTOCK.COM, INC.

( GUARANTY OF PAYMENT )

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and for the purpose of enabling O.COM LAND, LLC, a Utah limited liability company, hereinafter called “Debtor” and/or “Borrower”, to obtain a loan (the repayment obligation of which is evidenced by the Promissory Note, as hereafter defined) from PCL L.L.C., a Utah limited liability company of 10011 South Centennial Parkway, Suite 275, Sandy City, Utah, hereinafter called “Lender”, the undersigned (also referred to hereafter as “Guarantor”) does hereby guarantee to the Lender, the prompt payment during the term of the Loan, at maturity of the Loan or at any time thereafter, of the forty million dollar ($40,000,000.00) loan (“Loan”) made by Lender to Debtor, evidenced by that certain Promissory Note made effective November 6, 2017, in the principal amount of Forty Million and 00/100 Dollars ($40,000,000.00) (“Promissory Note”) and such other loan documents as required by the Lender (“Loan Documents”).

 

In the event that said Debtor fails at any time or times to promptly pay any and all obligations pursuant to the Loan and/or Loan Documents, including the final payment of principal and interest due upon maturity of the Loan and the monthly interest-only payments, which are now due and/or which may hereafter accrue from said Debtor to said Lender, as the same become due, the undersigned Guarantor hereby promises to pay any and all such indebtedness as the same becomes due from said Debtor to said Lender, forthwith, upon demand, including attorney’s fees that may be incurred in enforcing the provisions of this Guaranty, including payment hereunder.

 

The undersigned Guarantor hereby waives presentment for payment, protest and notice of dishonor and of non-performance of any note or notes made or hereafter made by the Debtor to the Lender or of any other items of indebtedness held or hereafter held by Lender against Debtor.

 

1



 

This is a specific guaranty and by this instrument the undersigned Guarantor guarantees the prompt payment of any and all of indebtedness evidenced by the Loan, the Loan Documents and/or the Promissory Note.

 

Guarantor executes this Guaranty for the purpose of inducing Lender to extend the Loan to Debtor, and Guarantor hereby agrees that the Loan to the Debtor was agreed to and extended by Lender to Debtor or for its account in reliance upon this Guaranty.  Guarantor further acknowledges that it has an economic interest in the successful refinancing and payment of the Loan encumbering the Property securing the Loan.

 

Except as otherwise provided herein, Guarantor agrees that upon any default of Debtor, Lender may, at its option, proceed directly and at once, and without notice to Guarantor of the occurrence of such default by Debtor, against Guarantor to collect and recover the full sum of the guaranteed indebtedness.  The obligations of Guarantor under this agreement are independent of the obligations of Debtor, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor whether action is brought against Debtor or whether Debtor be joined in any such action or actions.  Guarantor agrees that the payment of any indebtedness or other act which shall toll any applicable statute of limitations shall similarly operate to toll such statute of limitations applicable to Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty.  Guarantor agrees to assume the responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of Debtor and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the indebtedness which diligent inquiry would reveal, and that Lender shall have no obligation to advise Guarantor of any information relating to the financial condition of Debtor, and absent a written request for information by Guarantor, no obligation to inform Guarantor regarding the status of the guaranteed indebtedness.

 

2



 

Guarantor agrees that Lender may, from time to time, at Lender’s election, without notice to Guarantor, without Guarantor’s consent, and without affecting Guarantor’s liability under this agreement, (a) renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of the indebtedness or any part thereof of Debtor, including increasing or decreasing the rate of interest on such indebtedness; (b) take and hold security (i) pledged for the payment of this Guaranty, if any, or (ii) pledged for repayment of the indebtedness guaranteed, and exchange, surrender, compromise, release, enforce, waive, or deal with such security in any manner Lender deems necessary, whether or not this security was provided by Debtor or Guarantor; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale as Lender in its discretion may determine, and (d) release or substitute any one or more of the endorsers (if any) of Debtor.

 

Guarantor waives any right:  (a) to require any notice of action or non-action on the part of Debtor, Lender or Guarantor; (b) to require any notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accruals of any obligation or obligations of Debtor, present or future; (c) to require notice of default or nonpayment and notice of dishonor to or upon Guarantor, Debtor or any other party liable for any of the obligations of Debtor; (d) to make any defense arising by reason of any disability of Debtor or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Debtor; (e) for subrogation until all indebtedness of Debtor be paid in full to Lender; (f) to participate in any security now or hereafter held by Lender, and (g) to claim any right to cause a marshalling of any or all Debtor’s assets or to cause Lender to proceed against any of the security before proceeding against Guarantor.

 

Guarantor agrees to pay a reasonable attorney’s fee and court costs if this Guaranty be placed with an attorney for collection or enforcement or if suit be instituted thereon.  Guarantor further agrees that this Guaranty shall be binding upon the undersigned, the legal representatives,

 

3



 

successors and assigns of the undersigned and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah.

 

Guarantor agrees that all rights and remedies of Lender are cumulative and distinct and may be exercised concurrently, independently or successively.  The failure of Lender to promptly exercise any right hereunder shall not operate as a waiver of such right and the waiver of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent or other default.

 

This contract shall inure to the benefit of all transferees, assignees and/or endorsers of said Lender of any part, parts or all of the indebtedness herein guaranteed.

 

The Guarantor acknowledges, understands and agrees that this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not a guaranty of collection, and that in the event of a default by the Debtor, the Lender may pursue the Guarantor without first proceeding against the Debtor and/or any collateral securing the Loan .

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Guarantor has hereto subscribed his name effective the 3 rd  day of November 2017.

(c)        Liability for personal injury or property damage arising under any statutory or common-law theory, including damages assessed for the maintenance of the public or private nuisance, response costs or for the carrying on of an abnormally dangerous activity.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder to the extent of costs, liabilities, losses, or damages that are attributable (on a comparative basis) to the negligence or intentional misconduct of the Indemnitee in question; provided, however, that the negligence or intentional misconduct of any particular Indemnitee shall not be imputed to any other Indemnitee, and such Indemnitee as did not participate in the negligence or intentional misconduct in question shall remain fully entitled to indemnification hereunder without regard to such negligence or intentional misconduct of the Indemnitee that did so participate.

 

Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed as an admission by Indemnitor of liability or responsibility hereunder for any violation or alleged violations of Environmental Laws as between Indemnitor and any governmental agency or other third party, notwithstanding that, as between Indemnitor and the Indemnitee, Indemnitor has responsibility hereunder for such matter and for indemnifying the Indemnitee from the consequences thereof.

 

4.                                       Costs .   Indemnitor’s liability hereunder shall, without however limiting the indemnity provided in the preceding paragraph, extend to and include all reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred or sustained by Indemnitee in making any investigation on account of any such claim, demand, loss, liability, cost, charge, suit, order, judgment or adjudication, in prosecuting or defending any action brought in connection therewith, in obtaining or seeking to obtain a release therefrom and in enforcing any of the agreements herein contained, including, without limitation, any such costs incurred in connection with any bankruptcy or other proceeding under Title 11, United States Code.

 

5.                                       Delivery of Information .   Indemnitor shall promptly provide Indemnitee with copies of all communications, permits or agreements with any governmental authority or agency  (federal, state or local) or any private entity relating in any way to the presence of, release of, placement on or in the Property or any portion thereof or the manufacturing, emission, generation, transportation, storage, treatment, or disposal at the Property, of any Hazardous Materials and/or the violation, alleged violation, or potential violation of any Environmental Law, except for Permitted Materials.

 

6.                                       Test Results.   If Indemnitee believes that a violation of Environmental Laws may have occurred, Indemnitee may, at Indemnitor’s expense, conduct tests of the Property or portions thereof; provided, however, that in connection therewith: (i) so long as no other Event of Default exists hereunder or under the Trust Deed, Indemnitee will first notify Indemnitor of its desire for tests to be conducted and request that Indemnitor perform such tests and provide the results thereof to Indemnitee, and so long as Indemnitor carries out such tests within ten (10) business days after Indemnitee’s request, Indemnitee will not perform such tests directly, and (ii) in the conduct of any test that Indemnitee may conduct directly Indemnitee will take reasonable steps to interfere as little as reasonably practicable with the conduct of Indemnitor’s businesses or the business of Indemnitor’s tenants within the Property.

7.                                       Settlement .   In connection with the payment, settlement or compromise in good faith of any claim, demand, loss, liability, cost, charge, suit, order, judgment or adjudication, any Indemnitee, upon giving Indemnitor ten (10) business days’ prior notice, shall have the right in good faith to pay, settle or compromise, or litigate any such claim, demand, loss, liability, cost, charge, suit, order, judgment or adjudication under the belief that it is liable therefor, whether liable or not, without the consent or approval of Indemnitor; provided that Indemnitee shall not have the right to make any such payment, settlement, or compromise prior to the final resolution of the matter in question if Indemnitor shall protest such action in writing within the ten (10) business day period provided for above and immediately thereafter (but not more than ten (10) days thereafter) shall undertake and thereafter diligently prosecute to conclusion the defense of the matter in question on behalf of the Indemnitor in accordance with this Agreement. Any such amount expended by any Indemnitee shall be covered by this Agreement and shall be promptly paid to such Indemnitee by the Indemnitor on demand.

 

8.                                       Remediation.

 

(a) Indemnitee shall have the right, but not the obligation, subsequent to any Event of Default by Indemnitor hereunder, without in any manner limiting Indemnitee’s other rights and remedies under this Agreement, to enter onto the Property or to take such other actions as Indemnitee deems necessary or advisable to clean up, remove, resolve or minimize the impact of, or otherwise deal with, any Hazardous Materials or a violation of Environmental Laws at the Property. Except in an emergency situation, so long as Indemnitor or Tenants of Indemnitor are in occupancy of the portion of the Property in question, Indemnitee shall give reasonable advance notice (either written or verbal) of its intention to enter the Property for any such purpose to afford Indemnitor the opportunity to have a representative accompany the agents or representatives of such Indemnitee in question should Indemnitor elect to do so. All reasonable costs and expenses paid or incurred by Indemnitee in the exercise of any such rights shall be payable by Indemnitor upon demand.

 

(b)       In the event that the Indemnitor is engaged in the remediation of any violation of Environmental Laws and/or presence of Hazardous Materials at the Property at the time of a Default or Event of Default occurs under the Loan and the Default or Event of Default in question does not arise out of such violation of Environmental Laws and/or presence of Hazardous Materials or the remediation actions or inactions of Indemnitor with respect thereto, then Indemnitee agrees that Indemnitor shall be permitted to control the completion of such remediation activities so long, as Indemnitor diligently proceeds therewith in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee and Indemnitor keeps Indemnitee reasonably informed as to the progress of such remediation efforts. In any such event, however, this Agreement and the indemnification rights provided for herein shall remain in full force and effect.

 

9.                                       Independent Obligation. As to Lender, this Agreement is given solely to protect the Lender against environmental matters, and not as additional security for, or as a means of repayment of, the Loan. The obligations of the Indemnitor to Lender under this Agreement are independent of, and shall not be measured or affected by (i) any amounts at any time owing under the Loan, (ii) the sufficiency or insufficiency of any collateral (including, without limitation, the Property) given to the Lender to secure repayment of the Loan, (iii) the consideration given by

 

5



 

the Lender or any other party in order to acquire the Property, or any portion thereof, in any foreclosure or other sale, (iv) the modification, expiration, release or termination of the Loan or any document or instrument relating thereto or (v) the discharge or repayment in full of the Loan (including, without limitation, by amounts paid or credit bid at a foreclosure sale or by discharge in connection with a deed in lieu of foreclosure). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Indemnitor shall not be liable to Indemnitee hereunder in respect of any Hazardous Materials that are first manufactured, emitted, generated, treated, stored, or disposed of on the Property, or any violation of Environmental Laws that first occurred on or with respect to the Property, after the Loan is repaid and/or the Property is transferred to Lender or its successor by foreclosure sale, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or similar transfer except to the extent such manufacture, emission, generation, treatment, storage, or disposal, or violation is actually caused by Indemnitor or those for whose actions Indemnitor is legally responsible.

 

10.                                Payment on Demand.   All obligations of the Indemnitor hereunder shall be payable on demand, and any amount due and payable hereunder to Indemnitee by Indemnitor which is not paid within ten (10) days after written demand therefor from Indemnitee with an explanation of the amounts demanded shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest from the date of such demand at the “Default Rate” provided for in the Promissory Note evidencing the Loan.

 

11.                                Subrogation. If Indemnitor fails to perform its obligations under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be subrogated to, and Indemnitor hereby assigns to Indemnitee, any indemnification or contribution rights Indemnitor may have from or against any present, future or former owners, tenants, or other occupants or users of the Property (or any portion thereof), including, without limitation, any subsidiary or affiliate of Indemnitor; provided, that such assignment shall not be deemed to exclude Indemnitor from the direct enforcement of such rights for its own benefit, either concurrently with or separate from the enforcement thereof by Indemnitee.

 

12.                                Inspections Shall Not Affect Liability.   Neither any environmental audits nor assessments, nor any inspections conducted by Indemnitee or its representatives, nor the consummation of the Loan in light of the matters disclosed as a result of these inspections, nor any other term or provision of this Agreement shall affect, modify, or constitute a waiver of, the rights and obligations of the parties to this Agreement under applicable Environmental Laws and the rights and remedies of Indemnitee under this Agreement shall be cumulative of and not modify the rights and remedies that Indemnitee would have in the absence of this Agreement. Indemnitor hereby expressly releases any contribution or other claims or rights it now has or may hereafter have against Indemnitee under applicable Environmental Laws, excepting only contribution rights or other claims against any particular Indemnitee with respect to matters for which such Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder as a result of the negligence or intentional misconduct of the particular Indemnitee in question.

 

13.                                Survival.   Subject to the provisions of Section 9 of this Agreement, this Agreement shall survive the transfer of any or all of the Property by Indemnitor, including, but not limited to, any foreclosure sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure transaction, and the repayment in full of the Loan.

14.                                WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AND FOR THE PURPOSE OF REDUCING THE TIME AND EXPENSE OF LITIGATION, INDEMNITOR AND INDEMNITEE WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON, UNDER OR BY VIRTUE OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 

15.                                Specific Enforcement.   Indemnitor acknowledges that it may be impossible to measure accurately the damages to Indemnitee resulting from a breach of Indemnitor’s covenants under this Agreement, that such a breach will cause irreparable injury to Indemnitee, and that Indemnitee may not have an adequate remedy at law in respect to such breach. Therefore, such covenants shall be specifically enforceable against Indemnitor. This clause shall not prejudice Indemnitee’s rights to assert any and all claims for damages incurred as a result of Indemnitor’s breach hereof or for equitable relief.

 

16.                                Notice.   All notices, demands, requests and other communications required hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given if (a) delivered in person, (b) delivered by nationally-recognized overnight delivery service, (c) delivered by electronic transmission, including facsimile transmission, provided that receipt thereof is acknowledged by the recipient in writing or by electronic transmission, including facsimile transmission, to the sender or (d) sent by United States certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the party for whom it, is intended at is address hereinafter set forth:

19.                                No Waiver.   The failure of Indemnitee to insist upon strict compliance with any of the terms hereof shall not be considered to be a waiver of any of such terms nor shall it militate against the right of Indemnitee to insist upon strict compliance herewith at any time thereafter.

8.                                       TENANT SOLE OWNER OF LEASEHOLD INTEREST .  Tenant hereby warrants and represents, covenants and agrees with Lender that Tenant is now the sole owner of the leasehold estate created by the Lease and shall not hereafter assign the Lease except as permitted by the terms thereof, and that notwithstanding any such assignment or any sublease, Tenant shall remain primarily liable for the observance and performance of all of its agreements under the Lease.
