Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

General

On April 24, 2018, Domino’s Pizza Master Issuer LLC, Domino’s SPV Canadian Holding Company Inc., Domino’s Pizza Distribution LLC and Domino’s IP Holder LLC, each of which is a limited-purpose, bankruptcy remote, wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company (collectively, the “Co-Issuers”), completed a previously announced refinancing transaction by issuing $825 million aggregate principal amount of fixed rate notes consisting of $425 million Series 2018-1 4.116% Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2-I (the “2018-1 Class A-2-I Notes”) and $400 million Series 2018-1 4.328% Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2-II (the “2018-1 Class A-2-II Notes,” and together with the 2018-1 Class A-2-I Notes, the “2018-1 Notes”) in an offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The 2018-1 Notes were issued pursuant to (i) the Amended and Restated Base Indenture, dated March 15, 2012, as amended by the First Supplement thereto, dated September 16, 2013 (“the First Supplement”), the Second Supplement thereto, dated October 21, 2015 (the “Second Supplement”), the Third Supplement thereto, dated October 21, 2015 (the “Third Supplement”), and the Fourth Supplement thereto, dated July 24, 2017 (the “Fourth Supplement”) (the Amended and Restated Base Indenture as amended by the First Supplement, the Second Supplement, the Third Supplement and the Fourth Supplement being referred to herein collectively as the “Base Indenture”) and (ii) the Series 2018-1 Supplement thereto, dated April 24, 2018 (the “Series 2018-1 Supplement”), in each case entered into by and among the Co-Issuers and Citibank, N. A., as the trustee (the “Trustee”) and the securities intermediary thereunder. The Base Indenture allows the Co-Issuers to issue additional series of notes subject to certain conditions set forth therein, and the Base Indenture, together with the 2018-1 Series Supplement and any other supplemental indenture to the Base Indenture, is referred to herein as the “Indenture”.

The 2018-1 Notes are part of a securitization transaction initiated with the issuance and sale of certain senior secured notes by the Co-Issuers in 2012, pursuant to which substantially all of the Company’s revenue-generating assets, consisting principally of franchise-related agreements, product distribution agreements and related assets, its intellectual property and license agreements for the use of its intellectual property, are held by the Co-Issuers and certain other limited-purpose, bankruptcy remote, wholly-owned indirect subsidiaries of the Company that act as guarantors of the notes issued by the Co-Issuers. The Co-Issuers and the Guarantors referred to below under “Guarantees and Collateral” have pledged substantially all of their assets to secure the notes issued pursuant to the Indenture.

2018-1 Notes

While the 2018-1 Notes are outstanding, scheduled payments of principal and interest are required to be made on the 2018-1 Notes on a quarterly basis. The payment of principal of the 2018-1 Notes may be suspended if the leverage ratios for the Company and its subsidiaries and for the Securitization Entities (defined below) is less than or equal to 5.0x.

The legal final maturity date of the 2018-1 Notes is in July of 2048. If the Co-Issuers have not repaid or refinanced the 2018-1 Notes prior to October of 2025, in the case of the 2018-1 Class A-2-I Notes, and July of 2027, in the case of the 2018-1 Class A-2-II Notes, additional interest will accrue thereon in an amount equal to the greater of (i) 5.00% per annum and (ii) a per annum interest rate equal to the amount,


if any, by which (i) the sum of the yield to maturity (adjusted to a quarterly bond-equivalent basis) on the Series 2018-1 anticipated repayment date of the United States Treasury security having a term closest to 10 years, plus 5.00%, plus (A) with respect to the Series 2018-1 Class A-2-I Notes, 1.30% and (B) with respect to the Series 2018-1 Class A-2-II Notes, 1.50% exceeds (ii) the original interest rate with respect to such tranche.

The 2018-1 Notes are secured by the collateral described below under “Guarantees and Collateral.”

Guarantees and Collateral

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, dated March 15, 2012 (the “Guarantee and Collateral Agreement”), among Domino’s SPV Guarantor LLC, Domino’s Pizza Franchising LLC, Domino’s Pizza International Franchising Inc., Domino’s Pizza Canadian Distribution ULC, Domino’s RE LLC and Domino’s EQ LLC, each as a guarantor of the 2018-1 Notes (collectively, the “Guarantors”), in favor of the Trustee, the Guarantors guarantee the obligations of the Co-Issuers under the Indenture and related documents and secure the guarantee by granting a security interest in substantially all of their assets.

The 2018-1 Notes are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors (collectively, the “Securitization Entities”). The 2018-1 Notes are obligations only of the Co-Issuers pursuant to the Indenture and are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by the Guarantors pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. Except as described below, neither the Company nor any subsidiary of the Company, other than the Securitization Entities, will guarantee or in any way be liable for the obligations of the Co-Issuers under the Indenture or the 2018-1 Notes.

Management of the Securitized Assets

None of the Securitization Entities has employees. Each of the Securitization Entities entered into an amended and restated management agreement dated March 15, 2012 (the “Amended and Restated Management Agreement”), entered into by and among the Securitization Entities, Domino’s Pizza LLC, as manager, and the Trustee, as amended by the Amendment No. 1 dated as of October 21, 2015 to the Amended and Restated Management Agreement (the “Amendment No. 1 Management Agreement”) and by the Amendment No. 2 dated as of July 24, 2017 to the Amended and Restated Management Agreement (the “Amendment No. 2 Management Agreement” and, together with the Amended and Restated Management Agreement and Amendment No. 1 Management Agreement, the “Management Agreement”), in each case entered into by and among the Securitization Entities, Domino’s Pizza NS Co., Domino’s Pizza LLC, as manager, and the Trustee. Domino’s Pizza LLC acts as the manager with respect to the Securitized Assets. The primary responsibilities of the manager are to perform certain franchising, distribution, intellectual property and operational functions on behalf of the Securitization Entities with respect to the Securitized Assets pursuant to the Management Agreement. Domino’s Pizza NS Co. performs all services for Domino’s Pizza Canadian Distribution ULC, which conducts the distribution business in Canada.

Covenants and Restrictions

The 2018-1 Notes are subject to a series of covenants and restrictions customary for transactions of this type, including as set forth in the Parent Company Support Agreement dated as of March 15, 2012 (the “Original Parent Company Support Agreement”), as amended by the Amendment No. 1 dated as of October 21, 2015 to the Parent Company Support Agreement (the “Amendment No. 1 Parent Company Support Agreement” and together with the Original Parent Company Support Agreement, the “Parent Company Support Agreement”), in each case entered into by and among the Company and the Trustee.


These covenants and restrictions include (i) that the Co-Issuers maintain specified reserve accounts to be used to make required payments in respect of the 2018-1 Notes, (ii) provisions relating to optional and mandatory prepayments, including mandatory prepayments in the event of a change of control (as defined in the Series 2018-1 Supplement) and the related payment of specified amounts, including specified make-whole payments in the case of the 2018-1 Notes under certain circumstances, (iii) certain indemnification payments in the event, among other filings, the transfers of the assets pledged as collateral for the 2018-1 Notes are in stated ways defective or ineffective and (iv) covenants relating to recordkeeping, access to information and similar matters. The 2018-1 Notes are also subject to customary rapid amortization events provided for in the Indenture, including events tied to failure to maintain stated debt service coverage ratios, the sum of global retail sales for all stores being below certain levels on certain measurement dates, certain manager termination events, an event of default and the failure to repay or refinance the 2018-1 Notes on the scheduled maturity date. Rapid amortization events may be cured in certain circumstances, upon which cure, regular amortization will resume. The 2018-1 Notes are also subject to certain customary events of default, including events relating to non-payment of required interest, principal or other amounts due on or with respect to the 2018-1 Notes, failure to comply with covenants within certain time frames, certain bankruptcy events, breaches of specified representations and warranties, failure of security interests to be effective and certain judgments.

Use of Proceeds

A portion of the net proceeds of the offering of the 2018-1 Notes will be used to make a deposit with Citibank, N.A. as trustee in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Series 2015-1 Class A-2-I Notes previously issued under the Base Indenture, for the repayment in full of $490.1 million in aggregate principal amount of 2015-1 Class A-2-I Notes at par, which repayment is expected to occur on April 27, 2018. The Co-Issuers may also use the net proceeds of the offering to (i) pre-fund a portion of the principal and interest payable on the 2018-1 Notes, (ii) repay all or a portion of the Series 2017-1 Class A-1 Notes previously issued under the Base Indenture (which repaid amounts may subsequently be reborrowed) and (iii) pay fees and expenses related to the offering of the 2018-1 Notes. Any additional net proceeds will be distributed up to Domino’s Pizza, Inc. to be used for general business purposes, which may include distributions to holders of common stock, other equivalent payments and stock repurchases.

Following the refinancing transaction, including the repayment of the Series 2015-1 Class A-2-I Notes, there will be approximately $784 million in aggregate principal amount of Series 2015-1 Class A-2-II Notes outstanding under the Base Indenture, approximately $1,886 million in aggregate principal amount of Series 2017-1 Class A-2 Notes outstanding under the Base Indenture, approximately $825 million in outstanding principal amount of 2018-1 Class A-2 Notes, and approximately $8 million in capital lease obligations of the Company. In addition, in connection with the Series 2017-1 Class A-1 Notes previously issued under the Base Indenture, the Co-Issuers have access to a $175 million revolving financing facility, under which approximately $46.7 million in letters of credit and approximately $80 million in principal amount are currently outstanding.

(b)    Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless each Domino’s Party, each of the officers, directors and employees of each Domino’s Party, and each other person, if any, who controls such Domino’s Party within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act (each a “ Domino’s Indemnified Party ”), against any losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and any and all expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (A) in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure

 

36


Package or the Final Offering Memorandum or in any amendment or supplement thereto, (B) in any Blue Sky Application or (C) in any Marketing Materials, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, in any Blue Sky Application or in any Marketing Materials any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to any of the Domino’s Parties by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser through the Representative expressly for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Memorandum, amendment or supplement thereto, Blue Sky Application or Marketing Materials (as the case may be, which information is limited to the Initial Purchaser Information, provided , however , that in no case shall any Initial Purchaser be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the discount applicable to the Offered Notes to be purchased by such Initial Purchaser under this Agreement).

The foregoing indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Initial Purchasers may otherwise have, including but not limited to other liability under this Agreement.

(c)    Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of any claims or the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify each party against whom indemnification is to be sought in writing of the claim or the commencement thereof (but the failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have under this Section 8 to the extent that it is not materially prejudiced due to the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses as a result thereof or otherwise has notice of any such action, and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability that such indemnifying party may have otherwise than on account of the indemnity agreement hereunder). In case any such claim or action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate, at its own expense in the defense of such action, and to the extent it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided , however , that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the written consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by one of the indemnifying parties in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party to have charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, (iii) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded, based on advice of counsel, that there may be legal defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying parties, or

 

37


(iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both sets of parties by the same counsel would present a conflict due to actual or potential differing interests between them, in any of which events (i) through (iv) such fees and expenses shall be borne by the indemnifying parties (and the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties). No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened claim, investigation, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity or contribution may be or could have been sought by an indemnified party under this Section 8 (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, investigation, action or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or any failure to act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, any such action or claim effected without its consent.

(d)    In order to provide for contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification described in Section 8(a) through (c) is for any reason held to be unavailable (except for reasons set forth in the proviso to clause (a) or the last sentence of clause (c)) from any indemnifying party or is insufficient to hold harmless a party indemnified thereunder, the Domino’s Parties and the Initial Purchasers shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses of the nature contemplated by such indemnification provision (including any investigation, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claims asserted), but after deducting in the case of losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses suffered by the Domino’s Parties, any contribution received by the Domino’s Parties from persons, other than the Initial Purchasers, who may also be liable for contribution, including their directors, officers, employees and persons who control the Domino’s Parties within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as incurred to which the Domino’s Parties and one or more of the Initial Purchasers may be subject, in such proportions as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Domino’s Parties and the Initial Purchasers from the offering and sale of the Offered Notes under this Agreement or, if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportions as are appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to above but also the relative fault of the Domino’s Parties and the Initial Purchasers in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Domino’s Parties and the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering and sale of the Offered Notes under this Agreement (net of discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Domino’s Parties or their affiliates under this Agreement, on the one hand, and the discounts or commissions received by the Initial Purchasers under this Agreement, on the other hand, bear to the aggregate offering price to investors of the Offered Notes purchased under this Agreement, as set forth on the cover of the Final Offering Memorandum. The relative fault of each of the Domino’s Parties (on the one hand) and of the Initial Purchasers (on the other hand) shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement

 

38


of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Domino’s Parties or their affiliates or the Initial Purchasers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Domino’s Parties and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 8(d). The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any judicial, regulatory or other legal or governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), (i) no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount that it has committed to purchase under this Agreement exceeds the amount of any damages which such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, and (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8(d), (A) each of the Initial Purchaser Indemnified Parties other than the Initial Purchasers shall have the same rights to contribution as the Initial Purchasers, and (B) each director, officer or employee of the Domino’s Parties and each person, if any, who controls the Domino’s Parties within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Domino’s Parties, subject in each case of (A) and (B) to clauses (i) and (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties, notify each party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation it or they may have under this Section 8(d) or otherwise. The obligations of the Initial Purchasers to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(d) are several in proportion to the respective aggregate principal amount of Offered Notes purchased by each of the Initial Purchasers under this Agreement and not joint. The obligations of the Domino’s Parties to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(d) shall be joint and several.

(e)    The Initial Purchasers severally confirm and the Domino’s Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the statements with respect to the offering of the Offered Notes by the Initial Purchasers set forth in the third to last paragraph (relating to overallotment, stabilization and similar activities) of the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum and (ii) the names of the Initial Purchasers set forth on the front and back cover page of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum constitute the only information concerning such Initial Purchasers furnished in writing to the Domino’s Parties by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers specifically for inclusion in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Blue Sky Application (the “ Initial Purchaser Information ”).

 

39


9.     Termination . The Representative shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the Closing Date, if, at or after the Applicable Time: (i) any domestic or international event or act or occurrence has materially disrupted, or in the opinion of the Representative will in the immediate future materially disrupt, the market for the Co-Issuers’ securities or securities in general; or (ii) trading on the NYSE or NASDAQ shall have been suspended or been made subject to material limitations, or minimum or maximum prices for trading shall have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities shall have been required, on the NYSE or NASDAQ or by order of the Commission or any other governmental authority having jurisdiction; or (iii) a banking moratorium has been declared by any state or federal authority or any material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services shall have occurred; or (iv) (A) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or acts of terrorism involving the United States or there is a declaration of a national emergency or war by the United States or (B) there shall have been any other calamity or crisis or any change in political, financial or economic conditions if the effect of any such event in (A) or (B), in the judgment of the Representative, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale and delivery of the Offered Notes, on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Final Offering Memorandum; or (v) any of the events described in Sections 7(r), 7(t) or 7(x) shall have occurred or the Initial Purchasers shall decline to purchase the Offered Notes for any reason permitted under this Agreement. Any notice of termination pursuant to this Section 9 shall be in writing.

10.     Non-Assignability . None of the Domino’s Parties may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement. Neither the Representative nor Initial Purchasers may assign their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement, except that each Initial Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its affiliates as the purchaser of the Offered Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder (“ Substituting Initial Purchaser ”), by a written notice to the Co-Issuers, which notice shall be signed by both the Substituting Initial Purchaser and such affiliate, shall contain such affiliate’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such affiliate of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 3. Upon receipt of such notice, wherever the word “Initial Purchaser” is used in this Agreement (other than in this Section 10), such word shall be deemed to refer to such affiliate in lieu of the Substituting Initial Purchaser.

11.     Reimbursement of Initial Purchasers’ Expenses . If (a) the Co-Issuers for any reason fail to tender the Offered Notes for delivery to the Representative on behalf of Initial Purchasers, or (b) the Initial Purchasers decline to purchase the Offered Notes for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Co-Issuers, the Parent Companies, the Manager and the Guarantors shall jointly and severally reimburse the Initial Purchasers for all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel for the Initial Purchasers and without double counting expenses paid pursuant to any section of this Agreement) incurred by the Initial Purchasers in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Offered Notes, and upon demand shall pay the full amount thereof to the Initial Purchasers.

Exhibit 2-A-I

Capitalized terms used within this Exhibit 2-A-I shall have the meanings set forth in the respective opinion letters in which they will be delivered.

Ropes & Gray LLP Opinions

Corporate Opinion

 

1. Each of the Related Documents to which any Company is a party constitutes the valid and binding obligations of such Company and is enforceable against each Company in accordance with its terms.

 

2. The execution and delivery by each Company of each Related Document to which such Person is a party and the performance by such Person of its obligations thereunder will not (x) violate any Covered Laws or (y) breach or result in a default or require the creation of any lien (other than liens created pursuant to the Related Documents) upon any assets of any Company pursuant to any agreement, indenture or instrument listed on a schedule to this opinion.

 

3. Except (i) as may be required in order to perfect the Liens contemplated by the Collateral Transaction Documents (as defined in the Indenture), (ii) for any actions which may be required by the Federal Assignment of Claims Act of 1940 and any similar state or local law in connection with assignments of Collateral the government obligors of which are covered by such acts, (iii) as may be required under federal or state securities laws in connection with the offer, issuance and sale of the Notes and (iv) in connection with the maintenance of existence, ownership of assets or operation of the businesses of the Companies, under the Covered Laws, no consent, approval, license or exemption by, or order or authorization of, or filing, recording or registration with, any governmental authority is required to be obtained by any Company in connection with the execution and delivery of the Related Documents to which such Company is party or the performance by such Company of its obligations under the Related Documents.

 

4. We are not representing any of the Companies in any pending litigation in which it is a named defendant that challenges the validity or enforceability of, or seeks to enjoin the performance of, the Related Documents.

 

5. No Securitization Entity is an “investment company” within the meaning of Section 3(a)(1) of the 1940 Act (for the avoidance of doubt without giving effect to the provisions of Section 3(c) of the 1940 Act).

 

6. All conditions precedent to the issuance of the Notes have been satisfied and the Series 2018-1 Supplement is authorized and permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Indenture.

 

7.

When the Notes have been duly executed by Master Issuer and duly authenticated by the Trustee, upon the order of the Master Issuer in accordance with the Indenture, and


  delivered and paid for pursuant to the Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Note Purchase Agreement, the Notes will constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Master Issuer, enforceable against the Master Issuer in accordance with their terms.

 

8. Assuming (a) the accuracy of the representations and warranties and performance of the agreements of the Initial Purchasers set forth in Section 3 of the Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Note Purchase Agreement and (b) the representations and warranties of the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors set forth in Section 2(a), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of the Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Note Purchase Agreement, (ii) the performance of, and compliance with, the covenants set forth in the Purchase Agreement by the Co-Issuers, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers, and (iii) the compliance by the Initial Purchasers with the offering, resale and transfer procedures and restrictions described in the Purchase Agreement and the Offering Memorandum, it is not necessary, in connection with the offer, sale and delivery of the Notes to the Initial Purchasers in the manner contemplated by the Series 2018-1 Class A-2 Note Purchase Agreement and the Indenture, to register the Notes under the Securities Act of 1933 or to qualify the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, it being understood that no opinion is expressed as to the resale of the Notes by anyone other than the Initial Purchasers.

 

9. The Series 2018-1 Note Issuance Documents conform to the requirements of the Base Indenture and the Series 2018-1 Supplement, and the Notes are permitted to be authenticated by the Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Base Indenture and the Series 2018-1 Supplement.

Back-Up Security Interest Opinion

 

10. In the event a court fails to characterize any transfer described in any Contribution Agreement listed on a schedule to the opinion as an absolute transfer of the assets purported to be transferred thereby (with respect to such Contribution Agreement, the “Applicable Transferred Assets”) and instead recharacterizes such transfer as a loan made by the Transferee to the Transferor secured by the Applicable Transferred Assets, such Contribution Agreement creates a valid security interest in favor of the applicable Transferee in the interest of the applicable Transferor in such Applicable Transferred Assets to the extent that a security interest in such Applicable Transferred Assets can be created under Article 9 of the New York UCC, assuming that “value” (as described in Section 1-204 of Article 1 of the New York UCC) is given to such applicable Transferor for such security interest as contemplated by such Contribution Agreement.

Security Interest Opinion

 

11. The Indenture creates a valid security interest in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the Collateral described therein to the extent that a security interest in such items may be created under Article 9 of the New York UCC.

 

12. The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement creates a valid security interest in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the Collateral described therein to the extent that a security interest in such Collateral can be created under Article 9 of the New York UCC.


13. Assuming that (i) each Account Control Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the each of the Trustee and the relevant depositary bank, (ii) the relevant depositary bank is a “bank” (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(8) of the New York UCC) and (iii) each Deposit Account (as defined in each Account Control Agreement) is a “deposit account” (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(29) of the New York UCC), the security interest in each such deposit account granted in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties under the Indenture and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement constitutes a perfected security interest.

 

14. Assuming that (i) each Account Control Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Trustee and the relevant depositary bank, (ii) the relevant depositary bank is a “securities intermediary” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the New York UCC), (iii) each Securities Account (as defined in each Account Control Agreement) is a “securities account” (as defined in Section 8-501 of the New York UCC), (iv) each applicable account agreement with the relevant depositary bank expressly provides that it is governed by the law of the State of New York and (v) at the time each Account Control Agreement was entered into, the relevant depositary bank had a physical office in the United States and met the criteria set forth in Article 4(1)(a) or (b) of the Hague Securities Convention, the security interest in each such securities account granted in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties under the Indenture and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement constitutes a perfected security interest.

 

15. Under the New York UCC, assuming that neither the Trustee nor any Beneficiary has notice of adverse claims with respect to the Possessory Certificates attached to a schedule of the opinion, and assuming the Trustee has possession in the State of New York of the Possessory Certificates, indorsed by an effective indorsement, either in blank or to the Trustee, then the security interest of the Trustee in each Grantor’s rights in the Possessory Certificates pledged by such Grantor constitutes a perfected security interest in the Possessory Certificates, free of any adverse claims under Section 8-303 of the New York UCC. As used herein, “notice of adverse claim” has the same meaning as in Section 8-105(a)(1) and 8-303(a)(2) of the New York UCC.

 

16.

To the extent that the provisions of the Lanham (Trademark) Act (15 U.S.C. § 1051, et seq.) (the “Lanham Act”) pertaining to the assignment of trademarks preempt the provisions of the applicable UCC requiring the filing of a financing statement for the perfection of a security interest in trademarks, the recordation of (i) the Supplemental Trademark Security Agreement in the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “PTO”) against the U.S. registered trademarks and trademark applications identified by the trademark and trademark application numbers set forth on Schedule 1 to the Supplemental Trademark Security Agreement (the “Supplemental Trademarks”) within three (3) months after its date perfected the Trustee’s security interest in the IP Holder’s right, title and interest in such Supplemental Trademarks, and (ii) each of the Trademark Security Agreement and the 2015 Trademark Security Agreement in the PTO against the U.S. registered trademarks and trademark applications identified by the trademark and


  trademark application numbers set forth on each Schedule 1 thereto, respectively (the “Existing Trademarks” and, together with the Supplemental Trademarks, the “Trademarks”) within three (3) months after its date perfected the Trustee’s security interest in the IP Holder’s right, title and interest in such Existing Trademarks.

 

17. To the extent that the provisions of the United States Patent Act (35 U.S.C. § 1, et seq.) (the “Patent Act”) pertaining to the assignment, grant or conveyance of patents preempt the provisions of the applicable UCC requiring the filing of a financing statement for the perfection of a security interest in patents, the recordation of each of the Patent Security Agreement and the 2015 Patent Security Agreement in the PTO against the U.S. patents and patent applications identified by the patent and patent application numbers set forth on each Schedule 1 thereto, respectively (the “Patents”) within three (3) months from its date perfected the Trustee’s security interest in the IP Holder’s right, title and interest in such Patents.

Tax Opinion

 

18. The Offered Notes will be treated as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

19. Each U.S. Securitization Entity that is not organized as a corporation will be treated as a disregarded entity.

 

20. No U.S. Securitization Entity that is not organized as a corporation will be classified as a corporation, an association taxable as a corporation or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation.

Opinion re: Substantive Consolidation and True Sale

 

21. Accordingly, while there are and can be no guarantees due to the inherently factual nature of the inquiry and the fact that the bankruptcy court will engage in what is essentially an equitable balancing, coupled with the fact that the outcome will turn on future dealings by and between the parties on the basis of, and subject to, the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that, in a properly presented and argued case the bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over the bankruptcy case of one or more of the Non-Securitization Entities would not substantively consolidate the assets and liabilities of one or more of the Securitization Entities with those of any of the Non-Securitization Entities.

True Sale Reliance Letter

 

22. We confirm that you may rely on the Opinion Relating to the Contribution and Sale of Assets Pursuant to the Contribution and Sale Agreements in the Opinion Letter as it relates to the 2012 Contribution Agreement, 2012 Transferred Assets and the 2012 Conveyance (each as defined in the Opinion Letter), subject to the assumptions and qualifications set out therein, as if it were addressed to you. The Opinion Letter may not be relied upon by or transmitted to any person other than as permitted by the Opinion Letter, without our prior written consent.


Negative Assurance Letter

 

23. We confirm to you that no facts that have come to our attention have caused us to believe that (i) the Final Offering Memorandum, as of its date or as of the date hereof, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (ii) the Pricing Disclosure Package, as of 10:09 a.m. New York time on April 18, 2018, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

24. The statements in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum under the captions “Description of the Securitization Entities and the Securitization Entities’ Charter Documents,” “Description of the Manager and the Management Agreement,” “Description of the Servicer and the Servicing Agreement,” “Description of the Back-Up Manager and the Back-Up Management Agreement,” “Description of Offered Notes,” “Description of the Series 2017-1 Class A-1 Notes,” “Description of the Base Indenture and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement,” “Description of the Distribution and Contribution Agreements,” “Description of the IP License Agreements,” “Description of the Product Purchase Agreements,” and “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” insofar as such statements constitute descriptions of securities or summaries of documents referred to therein or descriptions or conclusions of United States federal law, which fairly summarize in all material respects the provisions of the securities, documents or laws referred to therein, subject to the qualifications and limitations set forth therein.


Exhibit 2-A-II

Richards Layton & Finger, P.A. Opinions

Corporate Opinion

 

1. Each of the Delaware Corporations is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing as a corporation under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “General Corporation Law”).

 

2. Each of the Delaware Corporations has all requisite power and authority under its Certificate of Incorporation, its Bylaws and the General Corporation Law to execute and deliver the Related Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder.

 

3. The execution and delivery by each of the Delaware Corporations of each of the Related Documents to which it is a party, and the performance by each of the Delaware Corporations of its obligations thereunder, will not violate its Certificate of Incorporation or its Bylaws and any law, rule or regulation of the State of Delaware.

 

4. The execution and delivery by each of the Delaware Corporations of each of the Related Documents to which it is a party, and the performance by each of the Delaware Corporations of its obligations thereunder, have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Delaware Corporations under its Certificate of Incorporation, its Bylaws and the General Corporation Law.

 

5. To the extent Delaware law applies, each of the Delaware Corporations has duly executed each of the Related Documents listed on a schedule to the opinion (to include only documents dated as of the Closing Date), to which it is a party.

 

6. No authorization, consent, approval or order of any Delaware court or any Delaware governmental or administrative body is required to be obtained by a Delaware Corporation solely as a result of the execution and delivery by such Delaware Corporation of the Related Documents to which it is a party, or the performance by such Delaware Corporation of its obligations thereunder.

Opinion re: Perfection

 

7. The Company Financing Statement is in an appropriate form for filing with the Division and has been duly filed with the Division and the fees and document taxes, if any, payable in connection with the said filing of the Company Financing Statement have been paid in full.

 

8. Insofar as Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Delaware on the date hereof (the “Delaware UCC”) is applicable (without regard to conflict of laws principles), the Trustee has a perfected security interest in the Company’s rights in that portion of the Indenture Collateral described in the Company Financing Statement in which a security interest may be perfected by the filing of a UCC financing statement with the Division (the “Company Filing Collateral”) and the proceeds (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(64) of the Delaware UCC) thereof.


Opinion re: LLCs

 

9. Each Delaware LLC has been duly formed and is validly existing in good standing as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware.

 

10. Under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (6 Del. C. §18-101, et seg.) (the “LLC Act”) and the applicable LLC Agreement, each Delaware LLC has the requisite limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver the Related Documents to which it is a party, and to perform its obligations thereunder.

 

11. Under the LLC Act and the applicable LLC Agreement, the execution and delivery by each Delaware LLC of the Related Documents (other than the LLC Agreements) to which it is a party, and the performance of its obligations thereunder, have been duly authorized by the requisite limited liability company action on the part of such Delaware LLC. Under the LLC Act and the applicable LLC Agreement, each Delaware LLC has duly executed the Related Documents, which are dated as of the date of the opinion, to which it is a party.

 

12. The LLC Agreement of a Delaware LLC constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Member of such Delaware LLC, and is enforceable against the Member of such Delaware LLC, in accordance with its terms.

 

13. If properly presented to a Delaware court, a Delaware court applying Delaware law would conclude that (i) as long as the Indenture has not been terminated in accordance with its terms, in order for a Person to file a voluntary bankruptcy petition on behalf of a Delaware LLC, the prior written consent of the Member and the prior unanimous written consent of the Board of Managers (including the Independent Managers) of the applicable Delaware LLC as provided for in Section 8.9.3 of the applicable LLC Agreement, is required, and (ii) such provision, contained in Section 8.9.3 of the applicable LLC Agreement, that requires, as long as the Indenture has not been terminated in accordance with its terms, the prior written consent of the Member and the prior unanimous written consent of the Board of Managers (including the Independent Managers) of the applicable Delaware LLC in order for a Person to file a voluntary bankruptcy petition on behalf of such Delaware LLC, constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Member of such Delaware LLC, and is enforceable against the Member of such Delaware LLC, in accordance with its terms.

 

14.

While under the LLC Act, on application to a court of competent jurisdiction, a judgment creditor of a Member may be able to charge such Member’s share of any profits and losses of a Delaware LLC and such Member’s right to receive distributions of such Delaware LLC’s assets (the “Member’s Interest”), to the extent so charged, the judgment creditor has only the right to receive any distribution or distributions to which such Member would otherwise have been entitled in respect of such Member’s Interest. Under the LLC Act, no creditor of a Member of a Delaware LLC shall have any right to obtain


  possession of, or otherwise exercise legal or equitable remedies with respect to, the property of such Delaware LLC. Thus, under the LLC Act, a judgment creditor of a Member of a Delaware LLC may not satisfy its claims against such Member by asserting a claim against the assets of such Delaware LLC.

 

15. Under the LLC Act (i) each Delaware LLC is a separate legal entity, and (ii) the existence of each Delaware LLC as a separate legal entity shall continue until the cancellation of the LLC Certificate of such Delaware LLC.

 

16. Under the LLC Act and the applicable LLC Agreement, the Bankruptcy or dissolution of the Member of a Delaware LLC will not, by itself, cause such Delaware LLC to be dissolved or its affairs to be wound up.

 

17. No authorization, consent, approval or order of any Delaware court or any Delaware governmental or administrative body is required to be obtained by a Delaware LLC solely as a result of the execution and delivery by such Delaware LLC of the Related Documents to which it is a party, or the performance by such Delaware LLC of its obligations thereunder.

 

18. The execution and delivery by a Delaware LLC of the Related Documents to which it is a party, and the performance by such Delaware LLC of its obligations thereunder, do not violate (i) any applicable Delaware law, rule or regulation, or (ii) such Delaware LLC’s LLC Certificate or LLC Agreement.

Opinion re: UCC G&C Agreement

 

19. Each of the Delaware Grantor Financing Statements is in an appropriate form for filing with the Division and has been duly filed with the Division and the fees and document taxes, if any, payable in connection with the said filing of the Delaware Grantor Financing Statements have been paid in full.

 

20. Insofar as Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Delaware on the date hereof (the “Delaware UCC”) is applicable (without regard to conflict of laws principles), the Trustee has a perfected security interest in the Delaware Grantors’ rights in that portion of the Collateral (as defined in the Global G&C Agreement) described in the Delaware Grantor Financing Statements in which a security interest may be perfected by the filing of a UCC financing statement with the Division (collectively, the “Delaware Grantor Filing Collateral”) and the proceeds (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(64) of the Delaware UCC) thereof.

2018 Opinion re: Voluntary Bankruptcy Petitions

 

21. Based upon the foregoing, and upon our examination of such questions of law and statutes as we have considered necessary or appropriate, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, limitations and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that a federal bankruptcy court would hold that Delaware law, and not federal law, governs the determination of what persons or entities have authority to file a voluntary bankruptcy petition on behalf of the Delaware LLCs.

3. The Franchisor has registered or filed the FDDs in all franchise registration/filings states in which the Franchisor has offered or sold Domino’s Pizza franchises except for those states in which the Franchisor was exempt from registration or filing.

5. Since April 18, 2007, the Franchisor has made all necessary filings, including exemption filings, under state business opportunity laws regulating the offer and sale of Domino’s Pizza franchises.

 

6. The forms of Standard Franchise Agreement, Non-Traditional Store Franchise Agreement, Transitional Store Franchise Agreement, Development Agreement, Optimization Agreement and License Agreement and other form agreements attached as exhibits to the FDDs were the forms of such agreements signed by the franchisees who had received the FDDs to which they were attached (including, as applicable, state-specific riders or addenda required by state franchise registration authorities), except to the extent they were modified by negotiated changes. These forms comply in all material respects with applicable state and federal laws and regulations.

 

7. Since April 18, 2007, the Franchisor has complied in all material respects with the filing requirements for advertising and other franchisee solicitation materials under applicable state franchise laws and all such materials have in all material respects complied in substance and form with all standards and conditions prescribed by such applicable laws.

Domino’s 2018 Litigation/Conflicts Opinion

 

1. To my knowledge, there is no action, proceeding or investigation pending or threatened before any court, administrative agency or other Governmental Authority that (i) challenges the validity or enforceability of, or seeks to enjoin the performance of, the Related Documents or (ii) would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business of the Domino’s Entities taken as a whole.

 

2. To my knowledge, the execution and delivery by each of Holdco and its Subsidiaries which are organized under the laws of a State of the United States (each a “Domestic Company”) of each Related Document to which it is a party and the performance of its obligations thereunder will not (i) violate any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any United States federal or state court, Governmental Authority or agency applicable to such Domestic Company or its property or (ii) breach or result in a default or the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any assets of such Domestic Company under the terms of any agreement or instrument which is material to the business of Holdco and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, other than as contemplated by the Related Documents.

DLA Piper Opinions

DLA Piper 2018 Opinion regarding Franchise Matters and 10b-5 Matters

 

1. The statements made in the Memorandum under the caption “Description of The Franchise Arrangements,” insofar as they purport to constitute summaries of certain terms of the Current Form Franchise Documents, constitute accurate summaries of the terms of the Current Form Franchise Documents in all material respects. The statements in the Memorandum under the caption “Certain Legal Aspects of the Franchise Arrangements,” insofar as they describe United States federal and state laws relating to franchising and business opportunities, and insofar as they describe similar laws and regulations relating to franchising internationally at the local and national level in certain countries, have been reviewed by us and constitute accurate summaries of the matters described therein in all material respects. No facts have come to our attention that have led us to believe that the statements in the Memorandum under the caption “Description of The Franchise Arrangements,” or the statements in the Memorandum under the caption “Certain Legal Aspects of the Franchise Arrangements,” when issued contained, or on the date of this opinion letter contain, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. However, except for our review as described in this paragraph, we did not independently investigate or verify, and express no opinion with respect to, the factual statements contained in the Memorandum.

 

2. No consent, approval, or authorization of or designation, declaration, or filing with any federal or state authority that regulates franchising in the U.S. is required in connection with the 2018 Transaction. However, see the discussion below regarding the actions that the Franchisor must take after the Closing Date in order to offer and sell Domino’s Pizza franchises in the United States to comply with United States federal and state franchise and business opportunity laws.

3. Each of Domino’s Pizza, Progressive and National (i) duly authorized the execution and delivery of each of the Existing Transaction Documents to which it is a party and (ii) duly executed each of the Existing Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Domino’s Pizza has duly authorized the execution and delivery of each of the 2018 Transaction Documents to which it is a party and has duly executed each of the 2018 Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

4. Neither the execution, delivery or performance by Domino’s Pizza, Progressive or National of the Existing Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, the granting of Liens pursuant to the Existing Transaction Documents) to which it is a party, nor compliance by Domino’s Pizza, Progressive or National with the terms and provisions thereof, (i) contravened at any relevant time, nor contravenes, any provision of any Michigan statute, rule or regulation generally applicable to corporations incorporated (or, in the case of Domino’s Pizza and Progressive, applicable to a limited liability company formed) and/or doing business in the State of Michigan, or (ii) violated at any relevant time, or violates, any provision of the articles of incorporation, articles of organization, by-laws, or operating agreement (if any), of Domino’s Pizza, Progressive or National, as the case may be.

 

5.

Stikeman Elliot LLP Opinions

Stikeman Elliot 2018 Opinion

 

1. Except for the registrations set out in Schedule B attached, no registration in any public office provided for under the laws of the Jurisdictions is necessary in the Jurisdictions as of the date hereof to maintain the perfection of the security interests created by the Guarantor pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.

Stewart McKelvey Opinions

Stewart McKelvey 2018 True Sale Opinion

 

1. Relying solely on the Certificates of Status, each of the Nova Scotia Companies is a subsisting unlimited company under the laws of the Province.

 

2. Each of the Nova Scotia Companies has the corporate power and capacity to execute and deliver the 2018-1 Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

 

3. Each of the Nova Scotia Companies has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution and delivery of each of the 2018-1 Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and the exercise of its rights and the performance of its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

 

4. Each of the 2018-1 Transaction Documents to which either of the Nova Scotia Companies is a party has been duly executed and delivered by it.

 

5.

The execution and delivery by each of the Opinion Parties of the 2018-1 Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the exercise of its rights and the performance of its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party do not violate, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under (a) in the case of either of the Nova Scotia


  Companies, the memorandum of association and articles of such of the Nova Scotia Companies or (b) any statute or regulation of the Province or any federal statute or regulation of Canada applicable therein which is applicable to the Opinion Parties, or the Collateral.

 

6. The execution and delivery by each of the Opinion Parties of the 2018-1 Transaction Documents and the performance of its obligations under the Transaction Documents do not:

 

  (a) require any recording, filing or registration with, consent, authorization or approval of, or notice or other action to, with or by, any governmental authority in the Province other than such registrations, if any, as may be necessary to perfect security interests created thereby under the PPSA, as described in paragraph 7 below; or

 

  (b) violate, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under any statute or regulation of the Province or any federal statute or regulation of Canada applicable therein which is applicable to such of the Opinion Parties or the Collateral.

 

7. Under the laws of the Province, no recording, filing or registration is necessary in order to create, preserve, perfect and protect the security interest in the Collateral in favour of Distribution ULC or the Trustee, as applicable, other than the registration of financing statements under the PPSA, which registrations have been made, the details of which are set out in the Schedule B. Except as provided in Schedule B, no renewal or amendment of such registrations is required under the laws of Province.

 

8. No transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents requires compliance with any bulk sales legislation in the Province.

 

9. Each of the Security Documents continues to create in favour of the Trustee a valid security interest in all right, title and interest of the applicable Opinion Party in, to and under the Collateral in which such Opinion Party has granted a security interest pursuant to the applicable Security Document if and to the extent that the laws of the Province apply thereto, with no further formality being required under such laws.

 

10. In the event that any of the Transaction Documents is sought to be enforced in any action or proceeding in the Province in accordance with the stated choice of law, namely the laws of the State of Delaware or the State of New York (the “ Chosen Law ”), the courts of the Province (i) would recognize the choice of law if it was not made with a view to avoiding the consequences of the laws of any other jurisdiction and that choice is not otherwise contrary to public policy, as such term is understood under the laws of the Province, and (ii) would, subject to clause (i) above, apply the applicable Chosen Law upon appropriate evidence as to such laws being adduced, provided that none of the provisions of a Transaction Document or of the applicable Chosen Law are contrary to public policy, as such term is understood under the laws of the Province. A court in the Province has, however, an inherent power to decline to hear such action or proceeding if it is contrary to public policy, as such term is understood under the laws of the Province for such court to do so, or if that court is not the proper forum to hear such action or proceeding, or if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.


11. The laws of the Province permit an action to be brought in a court in the Province on any final and conclusive judgment in personam under the internal laws of the State of Delaware or the State of New York (the “ Foreign Cour t ”) which is not impeachable as void or voidable under the internal laws applied by such Foreign Court, for a sum certain if:

 

  (a) that judgment was not obtained by fraud or in a manner contrary to “natural justice” and the enforcement of that judgment would not be contrary to “public policy” as such terms are applied by the courts of the Province;

 

  (b) the Foreign Court did not act either:

 

  (i) without jurisdiction under the conflict of laws rules of the laws of the Province; or

 

  (ii) without authority, under the laws in force in the jurisdiction of such Foreign Court, to adjudicate concerning the cause of action or subject matter that resulted in the judgment or concerning the person of that judgment debtor;

 

  (c) the judgment debtor was duly served with the process of the Foreign Court or appeared to defend such process, and, for the purposes of service of process, it is not sufficient that the judgment debtor had agreed to submit to the jurisdiction of the Foreign Court;

 

  (d) the judgment is not contrary to the final and conclusive judgment of another jurisdiction;

 

  (e) the enforcement of that judgment does not constitute, directly or indirectly, the enforcement of foreign revenue or penal laws;

 

  (f) the enforcement of the judgment would not be contrary to any order made by the Attorney-General of Canada under the Foreign Extraterritorial Measures Act (Canada) or the Competition Tribunal under the Competition Act (Canada) in respect of certain judgments, laws, and directives having effects on competition in Canada; and

 

  (g) the action to enforce that judgment is taken within six years of the date of that foreign judgment as stipulated in the Limitations of Actions Act (Nova Scotia).

 

12.

Attached hereto as Schedule C is a report showing the results of the searches conducted in the public offices and registries in the Province under the statutes specified therein against the current names of the Opinion Parties listed in such Schedule and current as of the respective currency dates indicated therein (which we note may not be the date of this opinion). Such statutes are the only statutes of the Province and the only federal statutes


  of Canada applicable therein, where transfers of, or security interests in, assets similar in nature to the Collateral would ordinarily or customarily be the subject of a filing, registration or recording in order to create, preserve, perfect and protect such transfers or security interests.

Loyens 2012 Opinion

 

  (a) The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid (private company with limited liability) under Dutch law.

 

  (b) The Partnership has been formed and is existing as a commanditaire vennootschap (limited partnership) under Dutch law.

  (e) The Opinion Documents have been duly authorised by all requisite corporate action on the part of, and have been duly executed and delivered by, the Company (to the extent it is a party thereto).

 

  (f) Provided that the Opinion Documents have been duly authorised by all requisite corporate action on the part of, and have been duly executed and delivered by Domino’s GP on behalf of the Partnership, the Opinion Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Partnership.

 

  (g) The choice of the laws of the State of New York, United States of America, as the law governing the contractual rights and obligations contained in the Contribution Agreements is valid and binding under Dutch law.

 

  (h) The choice of the laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America, as the law governing the contractual rights and obligations contained in the Distribution Agreements is valid and binding under Dutch law.

 

  (i) The contractual rights and obligations under the Opinion Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company and the Partnership (to the extent it is a party thereto), enforceable against the Company and the Partnership (to the extent it is a party thereto) in accordance with their terms.

 

  (j) In case of any Dutch insolvency proceedings in the Netherlands with respect to the Company, the Partnership’s assets and liabilities should not be consolidated with those of the Company for purposes of such proceedings.

 

  (k) In case of any Dutch insolvency proceedings in the Netherlands with respect to the Company, each of Domino’s GP and Domino’s LP should be treated as separate entities from the Company and the respective assets and liabilities of each of Domino’s GP’s and Domino’s LP’s assets and liabilities should not be consolidated with those of the Company for purposes of such proceedings.

 

  (l) The execution and delivery by the Partnership, acting through Domino’s GP, of the Opinion Documents and the Company (to the extent it is a party thereto) of the Opinion Documents and the performance by the Partnership, acting through Domino’s GP, and the Company (to the extent it is a party thereto) of their respective obligations thereunder do not conflict with or result in a violation of the Articles or the Partnership Agreement (as the case may be) or the provisions of any published law, rule or regulation of general application of the Netherlands.

Failure to observe the filing, disclosure or notification requirements mentioned above, does not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of the obligations of the Company or the Partnership under the Opinion Documents.

 

  (n) The Company and the Partnership are not entitled to any immunity from any legal proceedings in the Netherlands to enforce the Opinion Documents or any liability or obligation of the Company or the Partnership arising thereunder.

 

  (o) The consent to the jurisdiction of the state courts of the State of New York, United States of America as provided for in the Contribution Agreements is valid and binding upon the Company and the Partnership under Dutch law, insofar as such laws are applicable, provided, however, that such consent does not preclude bringing claims for provisional measures before the provisional measures judge (voorzieningenrechter) of a competent court in the Netherlands.

 

  (p) The consent to the jurisdiction of the state courts of the State of Delaware, United States of America as provided for in the Distribution Agreements is valid and binding upon the Company and the Partnership under Dutch law, insofar as such laws are applicable, provided, however, that such consent does not preclude bringing claims for provisional measures before the provisional measures judge (voorzieningenrechter) of a competent court in the Netherlands.

Midland 2018 Opinion

 

1. PNC Bank is a national banking association duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America, with full power and authority under such laws to enter into and perform its obligations under the Servicing Agreement.

 

2. The Servicing Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by PNC Bank.

 

3. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any federal court, governmental agency or body is or was required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by PNC Bank of the Servicing Agreement, except for those consents, approvals, authorizations or orders that previously have been obtained.

 

4. PNC Bank’s execution, delivery and fulfillment of the terms of the Servicing Agreement do not (a) conflict with or result in a violation of the Articles of Association or By-Laws of PNC Bank or (b) violate applicable provisions of federal statutory laws or regulations known by me to be applicable to PNC Bank and to transactions of the type contemplated by the Servicing Agreement, the violation of which would have a material adverse effect on the ability of PNC Bank to perform its obligations under the Servicing Agreement.

 

5. PNC Bank’s execution, delivery and fulfillment of the terms of the Servicing Agreement do not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default or an event which, with the passing of time, the giving of notice or both, would constitute a default under, or result in a right of acceleration of its obligations under, the terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument known to me to which PNC Bank is a party or by which it is bound or any order, judgment or decree of any federal or state court, administrative agency or governmental instrumentality known by me to be applicable to PNC Bank, the breach, violation, default or acceleration of which would have a material adverse effect on the ability of PNC Bank to perform its obligations under the Servicing Agreement.

 

6. To my knowledge, there are no actions, suits or proceedings against PNC Bank, pending before any federal or state court, governmental agency or arbitrator or overtly threatened in writing against PNC Bank which challenge the enforceability or validity of the Servicing Agreement or any action taken or to be taken in connection with PNC Bank’s obligations contemplated therein or which, either individually or in the aggregate, is reasonably likely to materially impair PNC Bank’s ability to perform under the terms of the Servicing Agreement.
