To the best of Seller’s knowledge, no event has occurred and no condition exists, including with respect to any required remodeling or re-imaging, that, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute a default under the Franchise Agreement.

STORE may, in its sole discretion, determine to disburse Disbursements jointly to Lessee and General Contractor and/or subcontractors or supplier or directly to General Contractor or subcontractors or suppliers, rather than directly to Lessee, and the execution of this Agreement by Lessee shall, and hereby does, constitute an irrevocable direction and authorization to STORE to so disburse the funds.

(a) If Lessee shall fail to pay when due any payment due under this Agreement within ten (10) days after Lessee’s receipt of notice of such non-payment;

(c) If any representation or warranty of Lessee in this Agreement, the Lease or any of the Contract Documents was false in any material respect when made, or if Lessee makes or renders any statement or account to STORE that is false in any material respect; provided, that if such false statement was not intentional, Lessee shall have the right within the time period permitted below in the last paragraph of this Section to correct the false statement and if necessary to cure the underlying circumstance or event to avoid a breach of another covenant under this Agreement or the Lease;

 

(d) Subject to a Force Majeure Event as provided in Section 7.08 of this Agreement, if the construction of the Improvements is not carried on diligently, or if construction is discontinued for ten (10) Business Days consecutively;

(f) If a writ of execution or attachment or any similar process shall be issued or levied against all or any part of or interest in the Premises or any judgment involving monetary damages shall be entered against Lessee which shall become a lien on the Land or the Improvements or any portion thereof or interest therein and such execution, attachment or similar process or judgment is not released, bonded, satisfied, vacated or stayed within 90 days after its entry or levy; or

 

(g) The occurrence of an “Event of Default” under the Lease.

 

With respect to any default described in Subsections (b), (c) and (d) above, if such default is not willful or intentional, does not place any rights or property of STORE in immediate jeopardy, does not stop or threaten to stop construction of the Improvements, and is within the reasonable power of Lessee to cure, no Event of Default shall exist and STORE shall not exercise any of its remedies pursuant to Section 6.02 below unless STORE shall have first given Lessee written notice of such event and such default shall not have been cured within ten (10) Business Days after such notice, or within such additional time as may be reasonably necessary for Lessee to cure such default (but in no event more than 180 days) provided Lessee is diligently pursuing a cure of such default. Nothing contained herein shall grant Lessee any additional cure rights or extended cure periods under the Lease.

 

Section 6.02 Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur, STORE shall have no obligation to make any further Disbursement hereunder and, at its option, may:

(c) Enter into possession of the Premises and, with or without such entry, perform any and all work and labor necessary or desirable in STORE’s sole judgment to complete the Improvements substantially in accordance with the Contract Documents and take all appropriate steps to secure and protect the Land and the Improvements.

STORE may use all materials purchased by Lessee in the construction of the Improvements and no liability shall accrue in favor of Lessee against STORE as a result thereof. In addition, all of Lessee’s right, title and interest in and to all licenses, permits and authorizations relating to the development, construction or operation of the Land or Improvements shall be deemed assigned, transferred and set over to STORE, at the election of STORE and to the extent permitted by law, and Lessee agrees to evidence said assignment, transfer and setting over by an appropriate instrument in writing at STORE’s request. Without curing the applicable Event(s) of Default, all sums expended by STORE pursuant to this subsection shall, at STORE’s election, be deemed additional funds advanced pursuant to Section 3.03(b) above and Disbursements under this Agreement.

 

(d) Seek to have Lessee specifically perform its obligations under this Agreement, including completion of the Improvements substantially in accordance with the Contract Documents and otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Enforce or avail itself of such other remedies as may be provided at law or in equity.

 

All powers and remedies given by this section to STORE, subject to applicable law, shall be cumulative and not exclusive of one another or of any other right or remedy or of any other powers and remedies available to STORE under the Development Documents, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements of Lessee contained in this Agreement, and no delay or omission of STORE to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring shall impair any other or subsequent Event of Default or impair any rights or remedies consequent thereto. Every power and remedy given by this section or by law to STORE may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by STORE, subject at all times to STORE’s right, in its sole judgment to discontinue any work commenced by STORE or change any course of action undertaken by STORE. Whether or not STORE elects any remedy available to STORE, STORE shall not be liable to Lessee for the manner or quality of construction of the Improvements or any failure to construct, complete or protect the Premises, or for the payment of any expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any remedy available to STORE, or for the performance or nonperformance of any obligation of Lessee under the Development Documents.

 

Section 6.02 Events of Default by STORE. Any one or more of the following shall constitute an event of default by STORE hereunder (“STORE Event of Default”):

 

(a) If STORE shall fail to perform, observe or comply with any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions contained in any of the Development Documents; or

 

(b) If any representation or warranty of STORE in any of the Development Documents was false in any material respect when made, or if STORE makes or renders any statement or account that is false in any material respect.

 

With respect to any STORE Event of Default described in Section 6.03(a) above, Lessee shall not exercise any remedies unless Lessee shall have first given STORE written notice of such STORE Event of Default and such STORE Event of Default shall not have been cured within fifteen (15) days after such notice, or within such additional time as may be reasonably necessary for STORE to cure such STORE Event of Default (but in no event more than 30 days) provided STORE is diligently pursuing a cure of such STORE Event of Default. If a STORE Event of Default shall occur, Lessee may pursue any and all remedies available at law or in equity.

MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 7.01 Inspection, Audits and Information Regarding Improvements and Disbursements.

 

(a) Lessee shall permit STORE, Lessor, Progress Inspector and their representatives and agents, to enter upon the Land at all times and to inspect the Improvements and all materials to be used in the construction thereof, and shall cooperate and cause General Contractor to cooperate with STORE, Lessor, Progress Inspector and their representatives and agents, during such inspections, including making available working copies of the Contract Documents together with all related supplementary materials. If STORE determines in its reasonable discretion in connection with any such inspection that extra services will be required of STORE as a result of (i) noncompliance with the Contract Documents, (ii) deviations from acceptable construction practices, or (iii) Lessee’s failure to satisfy the requirements of any Contract Documents and/or Development Documents, Lessee shall pay, in addition to the reasonable fees for such inspection, the reasonable cost of all such extra services including any additional inspections reasonably determined to be necessary or advisable by STORE.

(b) Lessee shall also permit STORE, Lessor, Progress Inspector and their representatives and agents, to examine, copy and make extracts of the books, records, accounting data and other documents of Lessee that relate to compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, all permits, licenses, consents and approvals of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction over Lessee or the Land. All such books, records and documents shall be made available to STORE, Lessor, Progress Inspector and their representatives and agents promptly upon written demand therefor; and, at the request of STORE or Progress Inspector, Lessee shall furnish STORE, Progress Inspector and their representatives and agents with convenient facilities for the foregoing purpose.

 

(c) It is expressly understood and agreed that STORE, Lessor and/or Progress Inspector shall have no duty to supervise or to inspect the construction of the Improvements or any books, records, drawings, permits or approvals concerning the construction of the Improvements, and that any such inspection or review shall be for the sole purpose of determining whether or not the obligations of Lessee under this Agreement are being properly discharged and of preserving STORE’s rights hereunder or under the Development Documents. If STORE, Lessor, Progress Inspector or their agents should inspect the construction of the Improvements or any books and records, STORE, Progress Inspector, Lessor and their agents shall have no liability or obligation to Lessee or any third party arising out of such inspection with respect to the compliance of the work contemplated under the Contract Documents or related legal requirements. A review or inspection not followed by a notice of an Event of Default shall not constitute a waiver of any default then existing; nor shall it constitute an acknowledgment or representation by STORE that there has been or will be compliance with the Contract Documents, that the construction is free from defective materials or workmanship, or that there has been a waiver of STORE’s right thereafter to insist that the Improvements be constructed in accordance with the Contract Documents. STORE’s failure to inspect the construction of the Improvements or any part thereof or any books, records, drawings, permits and approvals related to the construction of the Improvements shall not constitute a waiver of any of STORE’s rights hereunder. Neither Lessee nor any third party shall be entitled to rely upon any inspection or review undertaken by STORE, Lessor or Progress Inspector, and none of STORE, Lessor and Progress Inspector owes any duty of care to Lessee or any third party to protect against, or inform Lessee or any third party of the existence of, negligent, faulty, unlawful, inadequate or defective design or construction of the Improvements.

 

(d) In the event STORE shall give Lessee written notification of a structural defect in the Improvements or material departure from the Contract Documents not approved by STORE, Lessee shall, commence within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such notice, all necessary steps to cure such structural defect or departure from the Contract Documents. If such defect or departure is not cured within ten (10) Business Day period, such failure shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement and shall entitle STORE to exercise its remedies under this Agreement; provided, however, if Lessee has diligently commenced to cure such defect or departure within such ten (10) Business Day period and additional time beyond such ten (10) Business Day period is reasonably required to correct such defect or departure, an Event of Default shall not be deemed to have occurred so long as Lessee is using commercially reasonable efforts to cure such defect or departure.

Section 7.02 Mechanics’ and Materialmen’s Liens.

 

(a) Lessee will certify, or cause the General Contractor to certify, to STORE, Lessor and Title Company, upon request of either of them at any time, and from time to time, as to all materialmen, laborers, subcontractors, suppliers and any other parties who might or could claim statutory or common law liens as a result of furnishing material or labor to the Premises or any portion thereof or interest therein, together with evidence satisfactory to STORE, Lessor, and Title Company showing that such parties have been paid (or with respect to a party STORE pays directly will be paid from the Disbursements) all amounts then due for labor and materials. In addition, Lessee will provide or cause to be provided to Title Company all preliminary notices which are filed by laborers, subcontractors, materialmen and suppliers under Requirements of Governmental Authority, and notify STORE, Lessor and Title Company immediately in writing, if Lessee receives any notice, written or oral, from any laborer, subcontractor, materialman or supplier to the effect that said laborer, subcontractor, materialman or supplier has not been paid when due or intends to or has filed any mechanics lien for any labor or materials furnished in connection with the construction of the Improvements.

 

(b) If, during the construction of the Improvements, a lien is filed against the Premises for work performed on or goods and/or services provided to the Premises, STORE shall provide Title Company and Lessee with notice of the filing of such lien promptly after STORE obtains knowledge of such filing. Lessee shall have twenty (20) Business Days after delivery of STORE’s notice to cause such lien to be released from the applicable real property records or to post a bond or provide an indemnity satisfactory to Title Company which will enable Title Company to issue an endorsement to the Title Policy at the time such bond is posted or indemnity delivered insuring over such lien. If Lessee fails to cause such lien to be released or to post such a bond or deliver such an indemnity, such failure shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement and shall entitle STORE to exercise the remedies set forth in Section 6.02. If, at the time the lien is filed, an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Agreement, the filing of the lien shall be an additional Event of Default under this Agreement and shall entitle STORE to exercise the remedies set forth in Section 6.02, and STORE shall be authorized to take corrective actions with respect to such lien.

 

Section 7.03 Further Assurances. STORE and Lessee shall do and execute all and such further lawful acts, conveyances and assurances for the better and more effective carrying out of the intents and purposes of this Agreement as Lessee or STORE may reasonably require from time to time, provided that Lessee’s obligations shall not be enlarged or rights abridged under this Agreement, thereby.

 

Section 7.04 Prevailing Party. In the event of any judicial or other adversarial proceeding concerning this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all of its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.

Section 7.05 Waivers. Lessee does hereby expressly waive in favor of STORE and its assigns, to the fullest extent allowed by law, any and all exemptions from seizure provided by any applicable law, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority. No provision of this Agreement shall be deemed waived or amended except by a written instrument setting forth the matter waived or amended and signed by the party against which enforcement of such waiver or amendment is sought. Waiver of any matter shall not be deemed a waiver of the same or any other matter on any future occasion.

 

Section 7.06 Force Majeure. A party’s obligation to perform under this Agreement, shall be suspended if and so long as the non-performance of such obligation shall be directly caused by a strike, lockout, Act of God, pandemic, epidemic, materials shortages or delivery delays (not as a result of the actions of Lessee) enemy action, war, national emergency, riot, fire or other similar exigency which is unforeseeable, not brought about by the lack of diligence of the non-performing party, and beyond the reasonable control of the non-performing party (the “Force Majeure Event”); provided, however, that within fifteen (15) days after the happening of the Force Majeure Event, the non-performing party shall give written notice to all other parties of the existence of and nature of the Force Majeure Event and the steps which the non-performing party has taken or will take to eliminate or overcome the Force Majeure Event; and provided, further, that the non-performing party shall exercise reasonable diligence in eliminating and overcoming the Force Majeure Event.

 

Section 7.07 Security Interest. To secure Lessee’s obligations to STORE under this Agreement, Lessee hereby grants to STORE a first and prior security interest, in, on and against all plans, specifications, drawings, architect’s agreements, contractor’s agreements, licenses, permits and certificates relating to the construction of the Improvements. Lessee authorizes STORE to file financing statements with respect to the security interest of STORE, continuation statements with respect thereto, and any amendments to such financing statements which may be necessitated. Lessee agrees that, notwithstanding any provision in the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the state to the contrary, Lessee shall not file a termination statement of any financing statement filed by STORE in connection with any security interest granted under this Agreement if STORE reasonably objects to the filing of such termination statement. Lessee shall do all acts and things, shall execute and file all instruments (including security agreements, UCC financing statements, continuation statements, etc.) reasonably requested by STORE to establish, maintain and continue the perfected security interest of STORE in the collateral described above, and shall promptly on demand pay all reasonable costs and expenses of filing and recording, including the costs of any searches deemed necessary by STORE from time to time to establish and determine the validity and the continuing priority of the security interest of STORE. Lessee agrees that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of a security agreement or financing statement shall be sufficient as a financing statement. STORE is hereby irrevocably appointed Lessee’s attorney-in-fact to take any of the foregoing actions requested of Lessee by STORE if Lessee should fail to take such actions, which appointment shall be deemed coupled with an interest.

 

Section 7.08 Notices. All notices, demands, designations, certificates, requests, offers, consents, approvals, appointments and other instruments given pursuant to this Agreement (collectively called “Notices”) shall be in writing and given by (a) hand delivery, (b) express overnight delivery service or (c) electronic mail message (with a copy thereof also being delivered by one of the other methods of notice in the event of a notice of default) and shall be deemed to have been delivered upon (i) receipt, if hand delivered, (ii) the next Business Day, if delivered by a reputable express overnight delivery service, or (iii) transmission, if delivered by electronic mail.

Section 4.08. Deposit.

Lessee has paid Lessor upon the delivery of this Lease the sum of $6,600,000 (the “Security Deposit”) as security for the full and faithful performance by Lessee of each and every term, provision, covenant and condition of this Lease. If at any time an Event of Default has occurred and continuing, Lessor may, but shall not be required to, use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Monetary Obligation (including Rental) in default or for any other sum which Lessor may reasonably expend or be required to expend by reason of such Event of Default, including any damages or deficiency in the reletting of the Property, whether such damages or deficiency accrue before or after summary proceedings or other re-entry by Lessor. Lessor shall provide Lessee with written notice of any sum which Lessor expends pursuant to this Section 4.08. Each time Lessor so uses any amount of the Security Deposit, (a) the related delinquent payment shall continue to bear interest at the Default Rate (as described in Section 4.06) until the Security Deposit is replenished as described in this Section 4.08, (b) Lessee shall replenish the Security Deposit, in the manner set forth herein. If Lessee shall fully and faithfully comply with all of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Lease, the Security Deposit, or any balance thereof, shall be returned to Lessee after the time fixed as the expiration of the Lease Term and after the surrender of possession of the Property to Lessor. Whenever and as often as the amount of the Security Deposit held by Lessor shall be diminished by Lessor’s application thereof, Lessee shall, within ten (10) days after Lessor’s request therefor, deposit additional money with Lessor sufficient to restore the Security Deposit as set forth in this Section 4.08. Lessee shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit except as provided otherwise pursuant to applicable law. In the absence of evidence satisfactory to Lessor of an assignment of the right to receive the Security Deposit, or the remaining balance thereof, Lessor may return the security to the original Lessee, regardless of one or more assignments of this Lease. In case of a sale or transfer of the fee of the Property, or any cessation of Lessor’s interest therein, whether in whole or in part, Lessor shall pay over any unapplied part of the Security Deposit to the succeeding owner of the Property and from and after such payment Lessor shall be relieved of all liability with respect thereto. The provisions of the preceding sentence shall apply to every subsequent sale or transfer of the fee of the Property, and any successor of Lessor may, upon a sale, transfer or other cessation of the interest of such successor in the Property, whether in whole or in part, pay over any unapplied part of the Security Deposit to the successor owner of the Property and shall thereupon be relieved of all liability with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, provided no Event of Default exists after all notice and cure periods, the Security Deposit, or any balance thereof, shall be returned to Lessee within thirty (30) days after the termination of this Lease or the expiration of the Lease Term and after the surrender of possession of the Property to Lessor (it being agreed that the Security Deposit shall be promptly used by Lessor to cure any Event of Default existing at such time to the extent that it can be cured with the payment of money and that the remaining balance, if any, being promptly paid to Lessee).

In the event that Lessee elects to apply the Security Deposit under this subsection, Lessee shall, within three (3) Business Days of the end of each month, provide Lessor with monthly statement of operations (which shall set forth the profits and losses for the Property) in order to determine if Lessee is required to make any payment to replenish the Security Deposit. In no event shall Lessor be required to apply the Security Deposit to the payment of Base Monthly Rental pursuant to this subsection if the balance of the Security Deposit falls below $4,800,000. For purposes hereof, the term “EBITDA” shall mean for the one (1) calendar month ending on the date of determination, the sum of Lessee’s net income (loss) for such period plus, in each case to the extent previously deducted in calculating net income (loss): (i) income taxes, (ii) interest payments on all of its debt obligations (including any borrowings under short term credit facilities), (iii) all non-cash charges including depreciation and amortization and (iv) non capitalized capital expenditures.

 

(c) Partial Release of Security Deposit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the requirement to provide and maintain the Security Deposit under this Section 4.08 shall be modified as follows: if at any time following the PIP Completion, for two (2) consecutive prior twelve month reporting periods of operation (which reporting periods may include periods prior to PIP Completion), Lessee has maintained a CFCCR (defined below) of at least 1.3x, any amount above $4,800,000 of the Security Deposit shall be released to Lessee; provided, however, that such release of the Security Deposit shall be conditioned upon no Event of Default having occurred and be continuing, nor any default having occurred, which, with the delivery of notice and/or the passage of time, could result in an Event of Default.

Use of the Property; Compliance

 

Section 8.01. Use. During the Lease Term, the Property shall be used solely for the operation of a Permitted Facility. Except during periods when the Property is untenantable due to Casualty or Condemnation (and provided that Lessee continues to comply with the other terms and conditions of this Lease), Lessee shall at all times during the Lease Term occupy the Property and shall diligently operate its business on the Property. In the event that Lessee shall change the use of the Property or the concept or brand operated on the Property, only as may be expressly permitted herein or consented to by Lessor in writing, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Lessee shall provide Lessor with written notice of any such change and a copy of the franchise agreement(s) related to such new concept or brand, if any.

 

Section 8.02. Compliance. Lessor shall promptly (and in any event within fifteen (15) days of receipt thereof) provide Lessee with copies of any notices, bills, correspondence or similar documents or reports received from any Governmental Authority relating to the Property, the Permitted Facility, Lessee or this Lease. Lessee’s use and occupation of the Property, and the condition thereof, shall, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, comply with all Legal Requirements and all restrictions, covenants and encumbrances of record, and any owner obligations under such Legal Requirements, or restrictions, covenants and encumbrances of record, with respect to the Property, in either event, the failure with which to comply could have a Material Adverse Effect. Without in any way limiting the foregoing provisions, Lessee shall comply with all Legal Requirements relating to anti-terrorism, trade embargos, economic sanctions, Anti-Money Laundering Laws, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as such act may be amended from time to time, and all regulations promulgated thereunder, as it affects the Property now or hereafter in effect.

Lessee shall with reasonable promptness notify Lessor in writing if any of such representations, warranties or covenants are no longer true or have been breached to Lessee’s Knowledge. In connection with such an event, Lessee shall comply with all Legal Requirements and directives of Governmental Authorities and, at Lessor’s request, provide to Lessor copies of all notices, reports and other communications exchanged with, or received from, Governmental Authorities relating to such an event. Lessee shall also reimburse Lessor for all Costs incurred by Lessor in evaluating the effect of such an event on the Property and this Lease, in obtaining any necessary license from Governmental Authorities as may be necessary for Lessor to enforce its rights under the Transaction Documents, and in complying with all Legal Requirements applicable to Lessor as the result of the existence of such an event and for any penalties or fines imposed upon Lessor as a result thereof. Lessee will use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any act or condition to exist on or about the Property (present use excepted) that will materially increase any insurance rate thereon, except when such acts are required in the normal course of its business and Lessee shall pay for such increase. Lessee agrees that it will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses caused by, incurred or resulting from Lessee’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Section, except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Indemnified Parties.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 11.03 to the contrary, if during the final twelve (12) months of the Initial Term or any Extension Term, if the Property is destroyed or damaged by a Casualty to such an extent that (i) the applicable Property is rendered unsuitable for use as a Permitted Facility, and (ii) the estimated time to rebuild such Property exceeds 180 days from the date of the Casualty, and provided that the damage or destruction is a Casualty fully insured by Lessee as required by this Lease, Lessee may terminate this Lease with respect to such Property by giving notice to Lessor within thirty (30) days after the date of such Casualty. If Lessee elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 11.03(b)(iii), Lessor shall be entitled to all insurance proceeds paid or payable under the insurance policies required to be maintained by Lessee under this Lease that are attributable to such Property, and Lessee, as a condition to the effectiveness of such termination, on or before the date of termination, (A) shall pay to Lessor the amount of the deductibles under any such insurance policies (the “Casualty Termination Payment”), and (B) execute an agreement, accepted by the insurer, whereby the parties agree that Lessor is the sole party entitled to adjust losses under such insurance policies, that all losses under such insurance policies shall be payable solely to Lessor, and insurer has no defense or offset to the payment of claims under such insurance policies and such insurance policies are in full force and effect. Upon the giving of notice by Lessee to terminate pursuant to this Section 11.03(b)(iii), and Lessee’s payment of the Casualty Termination Payment (if any), any outstanding Monetary Obligation and the prorated portion of all Rental and Monetary Obligations, this Lease shall automatically terminate (except that any obligations which expressly survive any termination of this Lease shall survive) as of the date such notice is received and the Casualty Termination Payment (if any) and other Monetary Obligations are paid.

Except as provided below, Lessee shall be entitled to the entire Net Award for a Temporary Taking, unless the period of occupation and use by the condemning authorities shall extend beyond the date of expiration of this Lease, in which event the Net Award made for such Temporary Taking shall be apportioned between Lessor and Lessee as of the date of such expiration. At the termination of any such Temporary Taking, Lessee will, at its own cost and expense and pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.02, promptly commence and complete restoration of the Property.

 

Section 11.05. Adjustment of Losses. Any loss under any property damage insurance required to be maintained by Lessee shall be adjusted by Lessor and Lessee. Any Net Award relating to a Total Condemnation or a Partial Condemnation shall be adjusted by Lessor or, at Lessor’s election, Lessee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions of this Section 11.05 to the contrary, if at the time of any Condemnation or any Casualty or at any time thereafter an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessor is hereby authorized and empowered but shall not be obligated, in the name and on behalf of Lessee and otherwise, to file and prosecute Lessee’s claim, if any, for a Net Award on account of such Condemnation or such Casualty and to collect such Net Award and apply the same to the curing of such Event of Default and any other then existing Event of Default under this Lease and/or to the payment of any amounts owed by Lessee to Lessor under this Lease, in such order, priority and proportions as Lessor in its discretion shall deem proper.

 

Section 11.06. Lessee Obligation in Event of Casualty. During all periods of time following a Casualty, Lessee shall take reasonable steps to ensure that the Property is secure and does not pose any risk of harm to any adjoining property and Persons (including owners or occupants of such adjoining property).

(a) if any representation or warranty of Lessee set forth in this Lease is false in any material respect when made, or if Lessee renders any materially false statement or account when made, provided however Lessee shall have a reasonable opportunity (in no event more than thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice by Lessor) to correct any such false representation, warranty, statement or account unless in order to correct such representation or warranty, Lessee needs to first cure the underlying reason for the qualification in which event Lessee shall have such time as my be needed so long as it is diligently pursuing the cure and in the event such qualification is the result of another breach set forth below, then such cure must be completed within the respective cure period set forth below;

 

(b) if any Rental due under this Lease is not paid when due and such failure continues for more than five (5) Business Days after Lessor gives Lessee notice thereof (provided, however, in no event shall Lessor be required to provide more than two (2) such notices in any given twelve (12) month period); and if any other Monetary Obligation is not paid when due under this Lease and such failure continues for more than ten (10) Business Days after Lessor gives Lessee notice thereof(provided, however, in no event shall Lessor be required to provide more than two (2) such notices in any given twelve (12) month period);

(f) if Lessee fails to observe or perform any of the other covenants, conditions or obligations of Lessee in this Lease; provided, however, if any such failure does not involve the payment of any Monetary Obligation, is not in bad faith, then such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, unless and until Lessor shall have given Lessee notice thereof and a period of thirty (30) days shall have elapsed, during which period Lessee may correct or cure such failure, upon failure of which an Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder without further notice or demand of any kind being required. If such failure cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30)-day period, as determined by Lessor in its reasonable discretion, and Lessee is diligently pursuing a cure of such failure, then Lessee shall have a reasonable period to cure such failure beyond such thirty (30)-day period, which shall in no event exceed one hundred eighty (180) days after receiving notice of such failure from Lessor. If Lessee shall fail to correct or cure such failure within such one hundred eighty (180)- day period, an Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder without further notice or demand of any kind being required; and provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if the Property or any rights or property of Lessor is placed in immediate jeopardy, Lessor shall have the right to take such measures as may be necessary to protect the Property or Lessor’s rights, at Lessee’s expense, provided that Lessor promptly notifies Lessee of the action taken by Lessor;

 

(g) if a final, nonappealable judgment is rendered by a court against Lessee which has a Material Adverse Effect, and is not discharged or provision made for such discharge within ninety (90) days from the date of entry thereof;

 

(h) if Lessee shall begin proceedings towards its liquidation or dissolution;

 

(i) if the estate or interest of Lessee in the Property shall be levied upon or attached in any proceeding and such estate or interest is about to be sold or transferred or such process shall not be vacated or discharged within ninety (90) days after it is made;

 

(j) if there is a breach or default (after the passage of all applicable notice and cure periods) under the Franchise Agreement with respect to the Property or if such Franchise Agreement terminates or expires prior to the expiration of the Lease and a substitute agreement for the terminated or expired Franchise Agreement is not entered into within sixty (60) days after such expiration or termination, which substitute agreement shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor;

 

(k) if there is an “Event of Default” or other breach or default by Lessee under the Disbursement Agreement, after the passage of all applicable notice and cure or grace periods; or

 

(l) if there is a breach or default (after the passage of all applicable notice and cure periods) under the Management Agreement with respect to the Property or if such Management Agreement terminates or expires prior to the expiration of the Lease and a substitute agreement for the terminated or expired Management Agreement is not entered into within sixty (60) days after such expiration or termination, which substitute agreement shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor.

Section 12.02. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, with or without notice or demand, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or such other notice as may be required by statute and cannot be waived by Lessee, Lessor shall be entitled to exercise, at its option, concurrently, successively, or in any combination, all remedies available at Law or in equity, including, without limitation, any one or more of the following:

 

(a) to terminate this Lease, whereupon Lessee’s right to possession of the Property shall cease and this Lease, except as to Lessee’s liability, shall be terminated;

 

(b) to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, to (i) re-enter and take possession of the Property (or any part thereof), any or all personal property or fixtures of Lessee upon the Property and, to the extent permissible, Franchise Agreement, permits and other rights or privileges of Lessee pertaining to the use and operation of the Property, and (ii) expel Lessee and those claiming under or through Lessee, without being deemed guilty in any manner of trespass or becoming liable for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, without resort to legal or judicial process, procedure or action. No notice from Lessor hereunder or under a forcible entry and detainer statute or similar Law shall constitute an election by Lessor to terminate this Lease unless such notice specifically so states. If Lessee shall, during the existence of an Event of Default, voluntarily give up possession of the Property to Lessor, deliver to Lessor or its agents the keys to the Property, or both, such actions shall be deemed to be in compliance with Lessor’s rights and the acceptance thereof by Lessor or its agents shall not be deemed to constitute a termination of the Lease. Lessor reserves the right following any re-entry and/or reletting to exercise its right to terminate this Lease by giving Lessee written notice thereof, in which event this Lease will terminate;

 

(c) to bring an action against Lessee for any damages sustained by Lessor or any equitable relief available to Lessor and to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, to seize all personal property or fixtures upon the Property which Lessee owns or in which it has an interest, in which Lessor shall have a landlord’s lien and/or security interest, and to dispose thereof in accordance with the Laws prevailing at the time and place of such seizure or to remove all or any portion of such property and cause the same to be stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at Lessee’s sole expense, without becoming liable for any loss or damage resulting therefrom and without resorting to legal or judicial process, procedure or action;

 

(d) to relet the Property or any part thereof for such term or terms (including a term which extends beyond the original Lease Term), at such rentals and upon such other terms as Lessor, in its sole discretion, may determine, with all proceeds received from such reletting being applied to the Rental and other Monetary Obligations due from Lessee in such order as Lessor may, in its sole discretion, determine, which other Monetary Obligations include, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, attorneys’ fees and expenses, alteration, remodeling and repair costs and expenses of preparing for such reletting. Lessor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Property. Lessor reserves the right following any re-entry and/or reletting to exercise its right to terminate this Lease by giving Lessee written notice thereof, in which event this Lease will terminate as specified in said notice;

(e) to accelerate and recover (discounted to present value) from Lessee all Rental and other Monetary Obligations due and owing and scheduled to become due and owing under this Lease both before and after the date of such breach for the entire original scheduled Lease Term;

 

(f) to recover from Lessee all Costs paid or incurred by Lessor as a result of such breach, regardless of whether or not legal proceedings are actually commenced;

 

(g) to immediately or at any time thereafter, and with or without notice, at Lessor’s sole option but without any obligation to do so, correct such Event of Default and charge Lessee all Costs incurred by Lessor therein. Any sum or sums so paid by Lessor, together with interest at the Default Rate, shall be deemed to be Additional Rental hereunder and shall be immediately due from Lessee to Lessor. Any such acts by Lessor in correcting Lessee’s Events of Default hereunder shall not be deemed to cure said breaches or defaults or constitute any waiver of Lessor’s right to exercise any or all remedies set forth herein;

 

(h) to immediately or at any time thereafter, and with or without notice, except as required herein, set off any money of Lessee held by Lessor under this Lease or any other Transaction Document or any Other Agreement against any sum owing by Lessee hereunder;

 

(i) to use the Security Deposit as described in Section 4.08 hereof;

 

(j) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or limiting in any way the rights of Lessor under this Lease or otherwise under applicable Laws, at any time after the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default, Lessor shall be entitled to apply for and have a receiver appointed under applicable Law by a court of competent jurisdiction (by ex parte motion for appointment without notice) in any action taken by Lessor to enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in order to protect and preserve Lessor’s interest under this Lease or in the Property and the Personalty, and in connection therewith, LESSEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO OBJECT TO OR OTHERWISE CONTEST THE APPOINTMENT OF A RECEIVER AFTER THE OCCURRENCE, AND DURING THE CONTINUANCE, OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT; and/or

 

(k) to seek any equitable relief available to Lessor, including, without limitation, the right of specific performance.

 

Section 12.03. Cumulative Remedies. All powers and remedies given by Section 12.02 to Lessor, subject to applicable Law, shall be cumulative and not exclusive of one another or of any other right or remedy or of any other powers and remedies available to Lessor under this Lease, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements of Lessee contained in this Lease, and no delay or omission of Lessor to exercise any right or power accruing during the occurrence and continuation of any Event of Default shall impair any other or subsequent Event of Default or impair any rights or remedies consequent thereto. Every power and remedy given by this Section or by Law to Lessor may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by Lessor, subject at all times to Lessor’s right in its sole judgment to discontinue any work commenced by Lessor or change any course of action undertaken by Lessor.

Section 13.01. Liens.

 

(a) Lessor’s interest in this Lease and/or the Property shall not be subordinate to any liens or encumbrances placed upon the Property by or resulting from any act of Lessee, and nothing herein contained shall be construed to require such subordination by Lessor. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT LESSEE IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO PLACE OR ALLOW TO BE PLACED ANY LIEN, MORTGAGE, DEED OF TRUST, DEED TO SECURE DEBT, SECURITY INTEREST OR, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 7.03, ENCUMBRANCE OF ANY KIND UPON ALL OR ANY PART OF THE PROPERTY OR EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW, LESSEE’S LEASEHOLD INTEREST THEREIN, AND ANY SUCH PURPORTED TRANSACTION SHALL BE VOID.

(ii) that Lessee shall have the right to obtain equipment financing, a line of credit and other similar types of financing so long as no lien in connection therewith is placed on the Property or the Personalty unless such lien is subordinated to this Lease (such permitted financing by Lessee being referred to as “Lessee Financing”). In connection with any such Lessee Financing, upon Lessee’s request, Lessor shall reasonably cooperate with Lessee at no cost to Lessor and shall provide such reasonable assurances to Lessee’s financing parties providing such Lessee Financing, that they will (i) have access to their respective collateral which does not constitute the Property or the Personalty, and (ii) have the right to remove such Collateral to the extent located at the Property within thirty (30) days after termination of this Lease; and.

(iii) that upon the occurrence of an Insolvency Event of Lessor resulting in Lessor failing to fund the Disbursements under the Disbursement Agreement, Lessee may, without the consent of Lessor, mortgage or otherwise encumber the leasehold interest of Lessee in the Property pursuant to this Lease (a “Leasehold Mortgage”). In connection with the Leasehold Mortgage, Lessor shall enter into a landlord agreement with Lessee’s lender (the “Leasehold Lender”) with terms reasonably acceptable to Lessor, Lessee and the Leasehold Lender.

 

Section 13.02. Subordination Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement.

 

(a) Lessor, Citibank NA, as Lessor’s agent and Lessee have executed that certain Subordination and Non Disturbance Agreement dated as of the Effective Date and recorded in the county records in the county in which the Property is located (the “SNDA”) whereby the parties to the SNDA have agreed this Lease is subordinate to the lien of any Mortgage, subject to the express condition that Lessee shall have the right to remain in possession of the Property under the terms of this Lease (including the terms of the Feenix Consent) and that the Disbursement Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall be binding on any Successor Lessor (as defined below), notwithstanding any default under such Mortgage, or after the foreclosure of such Mortgage.

 

(b) As set forth in the SNDA, in the event any purchaser or assignee of any Lender at a foreclosure sale acquires title to the Property, or in the event that any Lender or any purchaser or assignee otherwise succeeds to the rights of Lessor as landlord under this Lease in connection with a foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise (in either event, a “Successor Lessor”), such Successor Lessor shall assume and shall automatically be deemed to have assumed all of Lessor’s obligations under this Lease, the Feenix Consent and Disbursement Agreement from and after the effective date of such foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure and Lessee shall attorn to such Successor Lessor, shall recognize the Successor Lessor as lessor under this Lease, and this Lease (and Lessee’s rights hereunder including the rights under the Disbursement Agreement) shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the Successor Lessor and Lessee. Such attornment shall in no way diminish or impair Lessee’s rights and remedies against Lessor (all of which Lessee may continue to assert against the Successor Lessor), or require Lessee to waive any default by Lessor.

 

Section 13.03. Execution of Additional Documents. Although no future instrument shall be required, upon request by Lessor, Lessee or Successor Lessor, the parties shall execute and deliver such additional reasonable instruments as may be reasonably required for such purposes, including obtaining an additional SNDA from any subsequent lender of Lessor (in form and substance similar to the SNDA executed as of the Effective Date), provided, however, such documents shall not increase the liabilities or obligations of Lessee nor diminish Lessee’s rights hereunder, including but not limited to the rights set forth in the Disbursement Agreement.

Assignment

 

Section 14.01. Assignment by Lessor. As a material inducement to Lessor’s willingness to enter into the transactions contemplated by this Lease (the “Transaction”) and the other Transaction Documents, Lessee hereby agrees that Lessor may, from time to time and at any time and without the consent of Lessee, engage in all or any combination of the following, or enter into agreements in connection with any of the following or in accordance with requirements that may be imposed by applicable securities, tax or other Laws: (a) the sale, assignment, grant, conveyance, transfer, financing, re-financing, purchase or re-acquisition of the Property, this Lease or any other Transaction Document, Lessor’s right, title and interest in this Lease or any other Transaction Document, the servicing rights with respect to any of the foregoing, or participations in any of the foregoing; or (b) a Securitization and related transactions; provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any assignment of this Lease must also include an assignment of the Disbursement Agreement and any party receiving an assignment of this Lease must also receive an assignment of the Disbursement Agreement and agree to be bound by both this Lease and the Disbursement Agreement. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that Lessor, in its sole discretion, may assign this Lease or any interest herein to another Person in order to maintain Lessor’s or any of its Affiliates’ status as a REIT. In the event of any such assignment other than a security assignment, Lessee shall attorn to such assignee (so long as Lessor and such assignee notify Lessee in writing of such transfer and such assignee expressly assumes in writing the obligations of Lessor hereunder from and after the date of such assignment). At the request of Lessor, Lessee will execute such documents confirming the sale, assignment or other transfer and such other agreements as Lessor may reasonably request, provided that the same do not increase the liabilities and obligations of Lessee nor diminish Lessee’s rights hereunder. Provided that the Security Deposit and all other reserves, awards, proceeds and impounds being held by Lessor for the account of Lessee have been conveyed to the successor owner or assignee, Lessor shall be relieved, from and after the date of such transfer or conveyance in accordance with this Section 14.01, of liability for the performance of any obligation of Lessor contained herein, except for obligations or liabilities accrued prior to such assignment or sale.

 

Section 14.02. Assignment by Lessee. Lessee acknowledges that Lessor has relied both on the business experience and creditworthiness of Lessee and upon the particular purposes for which Lessee intends to use the Property in entering into this Lease. Lessee shall not assign, transfer, convey, pledge or mortgage this Lease or any interest herein or any interest in Lessee (other than an acquisition of the Ownership Interest by Feenix or its designee or nominee as set forth in the Feenix Consent), whether by operation of Law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Lessor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and shall be based upon the creditworthiness and industry experience of the proposed assignee or transferee. At the time of any assignment of this Lease which is approved by Lessor, the assignee shall assume all of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease pursuant to a written assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lessor. Such assignee shall recertify such representations and warranties subject to any reasonable qualifications and modifications which pertain to such assignee and which exist as of the date of such assignment. Such assignment of this Lease pursuant to this Section 14.02 shall not relieve Lessee of its obligations respecting this Lease unless otherwise agreed to by Lessor. Any assignment, transfer, conveyance, pledge or mortgage in violation of this Section 14.02 shall be voidable at the sole option of Lessor. Any consent to an assignment given by Lessor hereunder shall not be deemed a consent to any subsequent assignment.

Section 14.03. No Sale of Assets. Without the prior written consent of Lessor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed Lessee shall not sell all or substantially all of Lessee’s assets. Any sale of Lessee’s assets in violation of this Section 14.03, shall be voidable at the sole option of Lessor. Any consent to a sale of Lessee’s assets given by Lessor hereunder shall not be deemed a consent to any subsequent sale of Lessee’s assets.

 

Section 14.04. Subletting.

 

(a) Lessee shall not sublet any or all of the Property without the prior written consent of Lessor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and any purported subletting without such consent shall be void; provided, however, that Lessee may sublease, without Lessor’s consent, (a) to an Affiliate, (b) up to 5% of the land and up to 10% of the total square footage of all of the buildings on the Property in the aggregate or (c) the Preapproved Subleases, (each such sublease described in this Section 14.03, individually, a “Sublease” and collectively, “Subleases”, and each subtenant thereunder, individually a “Subtenant” and collectively, “Subtenants”) so long as each Sublease contains the following provisions: (i) the Sublease is subject and subordinate to this Lease; (ii) the Sublease shall not contain any terms inconsistent with this Lease (or if so, the terms of this Lease shall control); (iii) the rent due under any Sublease shall be fixed rent and shall not be based on the net profits of any Subtenant; (iv) unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by Lessor and the related Subtenant, the Sublease shall terminate upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease (including any renewals hereof), provided that the related Subtenant agrees to attorn to Lessor if Lessor elects to assume the Sublease following a termination of this Lease; and (v) Lessee shall at all times remain liable under this Lease irrespective of any Sublease.

 

(b) Lessee covenants and agrees that (1) Lessee shall observe and timely perform all of its obligations as the landlord or sublandlord under each Sublease in compliance with the terms thereof; (2) Lessee shall not assign all or part of any Sublease without the prior written consent of Lessor; (3) Lessee shall promptly provide Lessor with any notice of default received from Lessee by any Subtenant or any notice of default sent by Lessee to any Subtenant; (4) Lessee shall furnish Lessor with any and all information requested by Lessor reasonably necessary for a determination of the status of any Sublease; (5) Lessee shall provide Lessor with copies of any and all Subleases and/or amendments to Subleases within five (5) Business Days of execution thereof.

 

(c) As security for the payment and performance by Lessee of its obligations under this Lease, Lessee hereby assigns, transfers, sets over and grants to Lessor, a security interest in any and all of Lessee’s right, title and interest, powers, privileges and other benefits as landlord under the Sublease which may be exercised at any time an Event of Default exists and is continuing, including, without limitation: (a) rent and proceeds thereof; (b) the right to enter upon, take possession of and use any and all property subleased or granted by Lessee under the Sublease; (c) the right to make all waivers and agreements, to give all notices, consents and releases, to take all action upon the happening of any default giving rise to a right in favor of Lessee under the Sublease; and (d) the right to do any and all other things whatsoever which Lessee is or may become entitled to do under the Sublease. Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, Lessee agrees that, at the option of Lessor and in addition to such other rights and remedies as may be afforded to Lessor under this Lease, Lessor shall have the right, without giving notice to or obtaining the consent of Lessee, to exercise, enforce or avail itself of any of the rights, powers, privileges, authorizations or benefits assigned and transferred to Lessor pursuant to this Section 14.04, including, without limitation, the right to collect all amounts due under the Sublease. From and after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lessee does hereby irrevocably appoint Lessor as Lessee’s true and lawful attorney, with full power (in the name of Lessee or otherwise) to ask, require, demand, receive and give acquittance for every payment under or arising out of the Sublease to which Lessee is or may become entitled. Lessee declares that this appointment is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable by Lessee. Lessee further agrees to execute any and all other instruments deemed reasonably necessary by Lessor to further the intent of the foregoing assignment and to vest Lessor in the Sublease. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Section 14.04, (i) Lessor shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under the Sublease by reason of the foregoing assignment; and (ii) Lessor shall not be liable or responsible for, and Lessee agrees to indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from and against any liability, loss, cost or damage, claim or demand against Lessor arising, directly or indirectly, from or related to the Sublease except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party.

LESSOR’s Lien / Security Interest

 

Section 16.01. Lessor’s Lien and Security Interest. Lessee agrees that Lessor shall have and hereby separately grants to Lessor, a first priority landlord’s lien, in, on and against all of Lessee’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Personalty and the Security Deposit and Capital Replacement Reserve Funds, which lien and security interest shall secure the payment of all Rental and other Monetary Obligations payable by Lessee to Lessor under the terms hereof and all other obligations of Lessee to Lessor under this Lease. Lessee agrees that Lessor may file such documents as Lessor then deems appropriate or necessary to perfect and maintain said lien and security interest, and expressly acknowledges and agrees that, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies of Lessor whether hereunder or at Law or in equity, upon the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default hereunder, Lessor shall have any and all rights and remedies granted a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code then in effect in the state where the Property is located. Lessee covenants to promptly notify Lessor of any changes in Lessee’s name and/or organizational structure which may necessitate the execution and filing of additional financing statements; provided, however, the foregoing shall not be construed as Lessor’s consent to such changes.

ARTICLE XVIII

 

PURCHASE OPTION

 

Section 18.01. Option. Beginning on the date which is thirty-six (36) months following the PIP Completion and for a period of up to four (4) years thereafter, Lessee shall have the option to give Lessor written notice (an “Option Notice”) of Lessee’s election to purchase the Property for a price equal to the Option Price (the “Option”). The “Option Price” shall mean the greater of (i) 110% of Lessor’s Total Investment; or (ii) the then current Base Annual Rental divided by the Applicable Cap Rate; provided however, in the event of any rental reduction or deferment, the Base Annual Rental shall mean the Base Annual Rental which would have been in effect at the time of the Option Notice without taking into account such reduction or deferment. The closing for such purchase (the “Option Closing”) must occur within ninety (90) days following Lessor’s receipt of the Option Notice. Lessee shall receive a credit at the Option Closing toward the Option Price in the amount of the Security Deposit, the Capital Replacement Reserve and all other reserves and deposits funded to Lessor by Lessee to the extent such amounts have not otherwise been applied by Lessor in accordance with this Lease.

 

Section 18.02. Closing. Upon exercise of this option, Lessor and Lessee shall open a new escrow account with a recognized title insurance company mutually agreeable by the parties in their reasonable discretion and shall enter into a purchase and sale agreement in form reasonably acceptable to both parties, but which must be consistent with this Section 18.02; provide, however, that failure to enter into such purchase contract shall not affect such option to purchase or the parties obligations hereunder. Such escrow shall be subject to the standard escrow instructions of the escrow agent, to the extent they are not inconsistent herewith. At or before the close of escrow, Lessor and Lessee shall delivered customary closing documents, including: (i) a special or limited warranty deed from Lessor conveying to Lessee all of Lessor’s right, title and interest in the Properties free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except liens for taxes and assessments and easements, covenants and restrictions of record which were attached to the Property immediately prior to closing under the Purchase Agreement, attached during the Lease Term through Lessee’s action or inaction, as the case may be, have been granted by Lessor in lieu of a taking by the power of eminent domain or the like, or have been approved by Lessee; (ii) a FIRPTA Certification from Lessor; (iii) Owner’s Affidavit from Lessor acceptable to the title insurance company to delete the construction lien, parties in possession and gap exceptions in the owner’s title insurance policy; and (iv) documents evidencing the parties’ authority to execute the closing documents, as approved by the title insurance company. Lessor shall be obligated to cure any title defects which are not permitted under this Section 18.02. In the event Lessor is unable to convey title as required by this Section 18.02 or Lessor is otherwise in breach of its obligations under this Article XVIII, Lessee shall have the right to (i) accept such title as Lessor can convey, (ii) elect not to consummate its exercise of the option and/or (iii) pursue specific performance. All Costs incurred in connection with Lessee’s exercise of the option, including, but not limited to, escrow fees, title insurance fees, recording costs or fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees (including those of the Lessor), appraisal fees, stamp taxes and transfer fees shall be borne by Lessee. Lessee shall continue to pay and perform all of its obligations under this Lease until the close of escrow. The purchase price paid by Lessee in exercising this option shall be paid to Lessor or to such person or entity as Lessor may direct at closing in immediately available funds. The closing date may be extended in Lessee’s sole election, but without any obligation to do so, to give Lessor additional time to cure any title defects. If either party is in default of its obligations under this Article XVIII, the defaulting party shall have a one-time right to extend the closing date for a reasonable period of time (not to exceed thirty (30) days) to cure such default provided that the defaulting party seeking such extension gives notice to the other party prior to the scheduled closing date and is diligently seeking to cure such title defect, breach or default. In the case of any mortgage or other monetary lien (or payment obligation required to be made in order to convey title to the Property to Lessee as required in this Section) arising by, through or under Lessor (but not arising by, through or under Lessee), the escrow agent shall first apply the purchase price to the payment of such mortgage or monetary lien or obligation, and the balance shall be paid over to Lessor at closing.

Section 18.03. Termination of Option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Lessee’s rights under this Article 18 shall terminate and be null and void and of no further force and effect if this Lease terminates or the Initial Term expires before the exercise of the Option, except that in the event this Lease terminates prior to the end of the Initial Term or any Extension Term, then at Lessee’s election which may be exercised by written notice given to Lessor at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such termination, Lessee may exercise its Option to purchase the Property for a price equal to the Option Price and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this Article XVIII. If Lessee does not exercise such Option, then Lessee shall execute a quitclaim deed and/or such other documents as Lessor shall reasonably request evidencing the termination of Lessee’s right under this Article XVIII. In any such event, Lessee shall execute such documents as Lessor shall reasonably request evidencing the termination of Lessee’s right under this Article XVIII.

 

Section 18.04. Assignment of Option. Lessee may not sell, assign, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the option granted herein or any interest therein, except (i) in conjunction with a permitted assignment of Lessee’s entire interest herein and then only to the assignee thereof (ii) to an Affiliate of Lessee with prior written notice thereof to Lessor or (iii) in conjunction with a transaction permitted under the Feenix Consent. Any attempted assignment of this option which is contrary to the terms of this Section shall be void.

 

Section 18.05. No Prohibited Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Lessor reasonably determines in good faith, based upon the advice of counsel, that the Option would cause Lessor to recognize income or gain from a “prohibited transaction” as defined under Section 857(b)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, then the Option described in this Section may not be exercised by Lessee until such time as the facts giving rise to the prohibited transaction can be resolved in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Lessor in its good faith determination.

 

ARTICLE XIX

 

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

 

Section 19.01. Offer.

Within ten (10) days of Lessee’s receipt of such Third Party Offer from Lessor, and a written statement of Lessor’s desire to sell the Property in accordance with such Third Party Offer, Lessee shall have the right to deliver an offer to Lessor (the “Purchase Offer”) to purchase Lessor’s interest in any such Property for the amount (the “Subject Purchase Price”) and on the terms set forth in the Third Party Offer to purchase such Property except as otherwise agreed in this Article XIX. Lessee shall complete such purchase, subject to the satisfaction of each of the terms and conditions set forth in the Third Party Offer except as otherwise set forth in this Article XIX.

3.6.3 We will notify you in writing if you default under this Agreement because (i) you do not cure a violation of Section 3.6.2 within 30 days after the date of the initial audit, (ii) you cancel two or more previously scheduled audits, (iii) you refuse to admit our auditors during normal business hours at the place where you maintain the Facility’s books and records, or refuse to produce the books and records at the audit or send them to us as required under this Agreement and System Standards for the applicable accounting periods, (iv) our audit determines that the books and records you produced are incomplete or show evidence of tampering or violation of generally accepted internal control procedures, or (v) our audit determines that that you have reported to us less than 97% of the Facility’s Gross Room Revenues for any fiscal year preceding the audit. Our notice of default may include, in our sole discretion and as part of your performance needed to cure the default under this Section 3.6, an “Accounting Procedure Notice.” The Accounting Procedure Notice requires that you obtain and deliver to us, within 90 days after the end of each of your next three fiscal years ending after the Accounting Procedure Notice, an audit opinion signed by an independent certified public accountant who is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants addressed to us that the Facility’s Gross Room Revenues you reported to us during the fiscal year fairly present the Gross Room Revenues of the Facility computed in accordance with this Agreement for the fiscal year.

3.7 Inspections. You acknowledge that the Facility’s participation in our quality assurance inspection program (including unannounced inspections conducted in person and/or via electronic means) is a material obligation you accept under this Agreement. You will permit our representatives to perform quality assurance inspections of the Facility at any time with or without advance notice. In person inspections will commence during normal business hours although we may observe Facility operation at any time. You and the Facility staff will cooperate with the representative performing the inspection. If the Facility fails an inspection, either in person or via electronic means, you refuse to cooperate with our representative, or you refuse to comply with our published inspection System Standards, then you will pay us when invoiced for any Reinspection Fee specified in System Standards Manuals plus the reasonable travel, lodging and meal costs our representative incurs for a reinspection. You will also be charged the Reinspection Fee if we are required to return to the Facility to inspect it as a result of your failure to complete any Improvement Obligation by the deadline established in the PIP, as set forth in Schedule D. Your final quality assurance score may be comprised of several components, including but not limited to the results of paper and electronic customer satisfaction surveys of your guests as well as unsolicited feedback received from your guests. We may publish and disclose the results of quality assurance inspections and guest surveys. We may, at our discretion, implement a Chain-wide quality assurance/mystery shopper inspection program to be performed by a reputable third party. You must provide free lodging for the inspector(s) when he/she visits your Facility.

All policies must be primary and non-contributory with or excess of any insurance coverage that may be available to an additional insured. You must submit to us, annually, a copy of the certificate of or other evidence of renewal or extension of each such insurance policy as required by the System Standards.

The Fee will be the same for all Chain Facilities that we license for membership in the United States. We will invoice and charge you for the Conference Fee even if you do not attend the Chain conference. You will receive reasonable notice of a Chain conference.

4. Our Operating and Service Obligations. We will provide you with the following services and assistance:

 

4.1 Training. We may offer (directly or indirectly by subcontracting with an affiliate or a third party) general manager training, remedial training, re-certification training, and supplemental training.

 

4.1.1 General Manager Training. We will offer at our corporate offices or at another location we designate training for your general manager in our Hospitality Management Program. The program will not exceed two weeks in duration and will cover such topics as operating a Chain Facility, marketing and sales, financial management, guest services and people management. We may administer certain diagnostic tests via the Internet to measure the skill set of your general manager and, based in part on his/her score, may require certain Internet-based training as a supplement to the classroom training experience. Your initial general manager (or other representative who exercises day to day operational authority) for the Facility must complete this program to our satisfaction no later than 90 days after the Opening Date. Any replacement general manager must complete the training program to our satisfaction within 90 days after he/she assumes the position. If we do not offer a place in the training program within the above time frame, your replacement general manager must attend the next program held at which we offer a place. Your general manager for the Facility must complete the training even if you employ managers at other Chain Facilities who have already received this training. We charge you tuition for training for your general manager in our Hospitality Management Program which is set forth on Schedule D. If he/she does not attend the training within 90 days after the Opening Date, and for any replacement general manager, you must pay a separate tuition at the rate then in effect for the program when your manager attends the program. If you, or any other employee at the Facility, wishes to attend the training in addition to your general manager, you can do so and you must pay the Additional Attendee Fee, currently $1,400 which is payable by the scheduled date for the program and is in addition to the tuition due for your general manager. We may charge you full or discounted tuition for “refresher” training for your general manager or for additional staff members who attend the training program with your general manager. We will charge the then in effect discounted tuition for any additional staff members who attend the training program with your general manager. You must also pay for your, your general manager and/or additional staff member’s travel, lodging, meals, incidental expenses, compensation and benefits.

 

4.1.2 Remedial Training. We may require you, your general manager and/or your staff to participate in remedial training if the Facility receives a D or F (or equivalent score) on a quality assurance inspection, or the Facility falls below an overall guest satisfaction score of at least 70% (seventy percent) of the maximum available score (e.g., at least three and one half out of five stars) on a leading hospitality guest review site that we designate. This training may be offered at our corporate offices, at a regional location, on-line or at the Facility. The training may be in the form of one or more classes held at different times and locations as we may require. You must pay the tuition in effect for this program when it is offered to you. If the training is provided at the Facility, you must provide lodging for our trainers. In addition, if at the time of your quality assurance inspection, you receive (i) a failure rating on guest room cleanliness and (ii) an average quality assurance score of F on cleanliness of guestroom category or cleanliness of bathroom category (based on a minimum of 10 electronic quality assurance guest surveys), then we may require you to take a one day, on-site remedial class on housekeeping within 60 days after the inspection. The tuition for an on-line class is currently up to $250, but is subject to increase in the future. The fee for an on-site customer experience assessment or training class is currently $1,250, but is subject to increase in the future.

 

4.1.3 Ongoing Training and Support. You must subscribe and pay an annual fee for access to our learning management system, Wyndham University, which includes training via live workshops, e-learning modules, webinars, online courses, videos and other educational resources, accessible by you and your staff via the Internet. All general managers must complete recertification training at such intervals as we may establish in the System Standards Manual. You must pay us the tuition then in effect for the program. We may offer other mandatory or optional training programs for reasonable tuition or without charge. Recertification and other supplemental training may be offered in our corporate offices or other locations or held in conjunction with a Chain lodging conference. You must pay the then current tuition for the training as well as for your representative’s travel, lodging, meals, incidental expenses, compensation and benefits while attending the training. We may offer, rent or sell to you other on-site training aids and materials, or require you to buy them at reasonable prices. We may also offer Internet-based training via the Chain’s intranet website.

4.1.4 No Show and Cancellation Fees. If you or your general manager, or any other member of your staff you designate, fails to register for a required training program within the required time period, or registers for a training program but fails to attend such program as scheduled without, notifying us in advance, whether such attendance is required or optional, we may charge you a no-show fee of up to 100% of the tuition for the program. If you, your general manager or any other member of your staff cancels participation in any training program less than seven (7) days before it is scheduled to be held, we may charge you a “cancellation fee” of up to 50% of the tuition for the program. No-show and cancellation fees are in addition to the tuition you will have to pay at the then offered rate when you or your general manager attends the program. We may assess you additional no-show or cancellation fees for continued failures by you under this Section 4.1

 

4.2 Reservation System. We will operate and maintain (directly or by subcontracting with an affiliate or one or more third parties) a computerized Reservation System or such technological substitute(s) as we determine, in our discretion. We or our Approved Supplier will provide software maintenance and support for any software we or an Approved Supplier license to you to connect to the Reservation System if you are up to date in your payment of Recurring Fees and all other fees you must pay under any other agreement with us, an affiliate or the supplier, as applicable. During the Term, the Facility will participate in the Reservation System on an exclusive basis, including entering into all related technology agreements and complying with all terms and conditions which we establish from time to time for participation. The Facility may not book any reservations through any other electronic reservation system, booking engine or other technology. You will use any information obtained through the Reservation System to refer guests, directly or indirectly, only to Chain Facilities. You shall own and be responsible for compliance with all applicable laws, regulations or standards concerning all Guest Information within your possession or any service provider holding such information on your behalf, and we shall own and be responsible for compliance with all applicable laws, regulations or standards concerning all Guest Information within our possession or any service provider holding such information on our behalf. To the extent that you and we both possess identical Guest Information, your and our respective ownership rights and related compliance obligations with regard to such Guest Information shall be separate and independent from one another. We have the right to provide reservation services to lodging facilities other than Chain Facilities or to other parties.

We will maintain and provide to you lists of suppliers approved to furnish Mark-bearing items, or whose products conform to System Standards.

 

4.5 The System. We will control and establish requirements for all aspects of the System. We may, in our discretion, change, delete from or add to the System, including any of the Marks or System Standards, in response to changing market conditions. We may, in our discretion, permit deviations from System Standards, based on local conditions and our assessment of the circumstances. We may, in our discretion, change the designation standards for the Chain and then require that you change the designation of the Facility and related presentation of that designation where it appears. We will not be liable to you for any expenses, losses or damages you may sustain as a result of any Mark addition, modification, substitution or discontinuation.

 

4.6 Consultations and Standards Compliance. We will assist you to understand your obligations under System Standards by telephone, mail, during any visits by our employees to the Facility, through the System Standards Manual, at training sessions and during conferences, meetings and visits we conduct.

We have the unlimited right to reinspect if the Facility does not achieve the score required on an inspection. We may impose a reinspection fee and will charge you for our costs as provided in Section 3.7. In connection with an audit, you will pay us any understated amount plus interest under Section 3.6. If the understated amount is three percent (3%) or more of the total amount owed during a six-month period, you will also pay us an “Audit Fee” equal to the costs and expenses associated with the audit. Our inspections are solely for the purposes of checking compliance with System Standards.

 

4.9 Revenue Management. . We offer revenue management services (“RMS”) for additional fees. RMS is currently offered at three levels of service each of which offers a different frequency of inventory management, strategic positioning, future demand strategy and targeted promotions and packages.

Based on our assessment we may limit the levels of optional services available to your Facility. You are required to sign a Hotel Revenue Management Agreement for the applicable level of service in order to participate in RMS.

We may use the Marketing Fees we collect, in whole or in part, to reimburse our reasonable direct and indirect costs, overhead or other expenses of providing marketing, training and reservation services. You will also pay or reimburse us as described in Schedule C for “Additional Fees” such as commissions we pay to travel and other agents paid for certain reservation and marketing services to generate reservation at the Facility plus a reasonable service fee, fees levied to pay for reservations for the Facility originated or processed through the Global Distribution System, the Chain Websites and/or other reservation systems, distribution channels and networks, and fees for additional services and programs.

8. Indemnifications.

 

8.1 Independent of your obligation to procure and maintain insurance, you will indemnify, defend and hold the Indemnitees harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against all Losses and Expenses, incurred by any Indemnitee for any investigation, claim, action, suit, demand, administrative or alternative dispute resolution proceeding, relating to or arising out of any transaction, occurrence or service at, or involving the operation of, the Facility, any payment you make or fail to make to us, any breach or violation of any contract or any law, regulation or ruling by, any claim that the use of the Property Mark by us as provided for in this Agreement constitutes a violation of the proprietary rights of any third party, or any act, error or omission (active or passive) of, you, any party associated or affiliated with you or any of the owners, officers, directors, employees, agents or contractors of you or your affiliates, including when you are alleged or held to be the actual, apparent or ostensible agent of the Indemnitee, or the active or passive negligence of any Indemnitee is alleged or proven. You have no obligation to indemnify an Indemnitee for damages to compensate for property damage or personal injury if a court of competent jurisdiction makes a final decision not subject to further appeal that the Indemnitee engaged in willful misconduct or intentionally caused such property damage or bodily injury. This exclusion from the obligation to indemnify shall not, however, apply if the property damage or bodily injury resulted from the use of reasonable force by the Indemnitee to protect persons or property.

 

8.2 You will respond promptly to any matter described in the preceding paragraph, and defend the Indemnitee. You will reimburse the Indemnitee for all costs of defending the matter, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Indemnitee if your insurer or you do not assume defense of the Indemnitee promptly when requested, or separate counsel is appropriate, in our discretion, because of actual or potential conflicts of interest. We must approve any resolution or course of action in a matter that could directly or indirectly have any adverse effect on us or the Chain, or could serve as a precedent for other matters.

 

8.3 We will indemnify, defend and hold you harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against all Losses and Expenses incurred by you in any action or claim arising from your proper use of the System alleging that your use of the System and any property we license to you is an infringement of a third party’s rights to any trade secret, patent, copyright, trademark, service mark or trade name. You will promptly notify us in writing when you become aware of any alleged infringement or an action is filed against you. You will cooperate with our defense and resolution of the claim. We may resolve the matter by obtaining a license of the property for you at our expense, or by requiring that you discontinue using the infringing property or modify your use to avoid infringing the rights of others.

Transactions involving Equity Interests that are not Equity Transfers do not require our consent and are not Transfers.

 

9.2 Financing Documents.

We may condition and withhold our consent to a Transfer when required under this Section 9 until the transferee and you meet certain conditions; however, we will not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition our consent to a Transfer if the Facility is then financed under a program in which the United States Small Business Administration (“SBA”) guarantees the financing or its repayment. If a Transfer is to occur, the transferee (or you, if an Equity Transfer is involved) must first complete and submit our application, qualify to be a member in our sole discretion, given the circumstances of the proposed Transfer, provide the same supporting documents as a new member applicant, pay the Application Fee and Reaffiliation Fee then in effect, sign the form of Membership Agreement we then offer in conversion transactions and agree to renovate the Facility as if it were an existing facility converting to the System, as we reasonably determine. We will provide a PIP after the transferee’s Application is submitted to us. We may require structural changes to the Facility if it no longer meets System Standards for entering conversion facilities or, in the alternative, condition our approval of the Transfer on limiting the transferee’s term to the balance of your Term, or adding a right to terminate without cause exercisable by either party after a period of time has elapsed. Our consent to the transaction will not be effective until these conditions are satisfied. If we do not approve the Transfer, we may, in our sole discretion, allow you to terminate the Membership when you sell the Facility and pay us Liquidated Damages under Section 12.1. Such payment would be due and payable when you transfer possession of the Facility. We must also receive general releases from you and each of your owners, and payment of all amounts then owed to us and our affiliates by you, your owners, your affiliates, the transferee, its owners and affiliates, under this Agreement or otherwise. Our consent to a Transfer is not a waiver of (i) any claims we may have against you; or (ii) our right to demand strict compliance from the Transferee with the terms of its agreement.

 

9.4 Permitted Transferee Transactions. Provided that you comply with this Section 9.4 you may (i) transfer an Equity Interest to a Permitted Transferee or (ii) effect an Equity Transfer to a Permitted Transferee without obtaining our consent, renovating the Facility or paying a Reaffiliation Fee or Application Fee. No Transfer will be deemed to occur. You must not be in default and you must comply with the application and notice procedures specified in Sections 9.3 and 9.6. Each Permitted Transferee must first agree in writing to be bound by this Agreement, or at our option, execute the Membership Agreement form then offered prospective members. No transfer to a Permitted Transferee shall release a living transferor from liability under this Agreement or any guarantor under any guaranty of this Agreement. A transfer resulting from a death may occur even if you are in default under this Agreement.

 

9.5 Attempted Transfers. Any transaction requiring our consent under this Section 9 in which our consent is not first obtained will be void, as between you and us. You will continue to be liable for payment and performance of your obligations under this Agreement until we terminate this Agreement, all your financial obligations to us are paid and all System identification is removed from the Facility.

 

9.6 Notice of Transfers. You will give us at least 30 days prior written notice of any proposed Transfer or Permitted Transferee transaction. You will notify us when you sign a contract to Transfer the Facility and 10 days before you intend to close on the transfer of the Facility. We will respond to all requests for our consent and notices of Permitted Transferee transactions within a reasonable time not to exceed 30 days. You will notify us in writing within 30 days after a change in ownership of 25% or more of your Equity Interests that are not publicly held or that is not an Equity Transfer, or a change in the ownership of the Facility if you are not its owner. You will provide us with lists of the names, addresses, and ownership percentages of your owner(s) at our request.

10. Our Assignments. We may transfer, assign, delegate or subcontract all or any part of our rights and duties under this Agreement, including by operation of law, without notice and without your consent. You are not the third-party beneficiary of any contract with a third party to provide services to you under this Agreement. We may dissolve, terminate and wind up our business under applicable law but we will transfer the System and this Agreement to a party that will perform the licensor’s obligations and that will assume this Agreement in writing. We will have no obligations to you with respect to any assigned right or duty after you are notified that our transferee has assumed such rights or duties under this Agreement except those that arose before we assign this Agreement.

 

11. Default and Termination.

 

11.1 Default. You will be in default under this Agreement if (a) you do not pay us when a payment is due under this Agreement or under any other instrument, debt, agreement or account with us related to the Facility, (b) you do not perform any of your other obligations when this Agreement and the System Standards Manual require, or (c) if you otherwise breach this Agreement. If your default is not cured within ten days after you receive written notice from us that you have not filed your monthly report, paid us any amount that is due or breached your obligations regarding Confidential Information, or within 30 days after you receive written notice from us of any other default (except as noted below), then we may terminate this Agreement by written notice to you, under Section 11.2. We will not exercise our right to terminate if you have completely cured your default during the time allowed for cure, or until any waiting period required by law has elapsed. In the case of a default resulting from the Facility’s failure to meet Quality Standards as measured by a quality assurance inspection, if you have acted diligently to cure the default but cannot do so, and the default does not relate to health or safety, we may, in our discretion, enter into an improvement agreement with you provided you request such an agreement within 30 days after receiving notice of the failing inspection. If we have entered into an improvement agreement, you must cure the default within the time period specified in the improvement agreement which shall not exceed 90 days after the failed inspection. We may terminate this Agreement and any or all rights granted hereunder if you do not timely perform that improvement agreement.

 

11.2 Termination. We may terminate this Agreement effective when we send written notice to you or such later date as required by law or as stated in the default notice, when (1) you do not cure a default as provided in Section 11.1 or we are authorized to terminate under Schedule D due to your failure to perform your Improvement Obligation, (2) you discontinue operating the Facility as a “Trademark Collection” or “Trademark Collection by Wyndham”, (3) you do or perform, directly or indirectly, any act or failure to act that in our reasonable judgment is or could be injurious or prejudicial to the goodwill associated with the Marks or the System, (4) you lose ownership possession or the right to possession of the Facility or otherwise lose the right to conduct the licensed business at the Location, (5) you (or any guarantor) suffer the termination of another membership agreement with us or one of our affiliates, (6) you intentionally maintain false books and records or submit a materially false report to us, (7) you (or any guarantor) generally fail to pay debts as they come due in the ordinary course of business, (8) you, any guarantor or any of your owners or agents misstated to us or omitted to tell us a material fact to obtain or maintain this Agreement with us, (9) you receive two or more notices of default from us in any one year period (whether or not you cure the defaults), (10) a violation of Section 9 occurs, or a Transfer occurs before the relicensing process is completed, (11) you or any of your Equity Interest owners contest in court the ownership or right to franchise or license all or any part of the System or the validity of any of the Marks, (12) you, any guarantor or the Facility is subject to any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, receivership, assignment, reorganization, moratorium, composition or a similar action or proceeding that is not dismissed within 60 days after its filing, (13) you maintain or operate the Facility in a manner that endangers the health or safety of the Facility’s guests. (14) if a threat to public health or safety exists at the Facility and we reasonably determine that an immediate shut down of the Facility to be necessary to avoid substantial risk of liability or goodwill, (15) you disclose any Confidential Information in violation of this Agreement.

 

16

 

 

11.3 Casualty and Condemnation.

 

11.3.1 You will notify us promptly after the Facility suffers a Casualty that prevents you from operating in the normal course of business, with less than 75% of guest rooms available. You will give us information on the availability of guest rooms and the Facility’s ability to honor advance reservations. You will tell us in writing within 60 days after the Casualty whether or not you will restore, rebuild and refurbish the Facility to conform to System Standards and its condition prior to the Casualty. This restoration will be completed within 180 days after the Casualty. You may decide within the 60 days after the Casualty, and if we do not hear from you, we will assume that you have decided, to terminate this Agreement, effective as of the date of your notice or 60 days after the Casualty, whichever comes first. If this Agreement so terminates, you will pay all amounts accrued prior to Termination and follow the post-termination requirements in Section 13. You will not be obligated to pay Liquidated Damages if the Facility will no longer be used as a transient guest lodging facility for 3 years after the Casualty.

 

11.3.2 You will notify us in writing within 10 days after you receive notice of any proposed Condemnation of the Facility, and within 10 days after receiving notice of the Condemnation date. This Agreement will terminate on the date the Facility or a substantial portion is conveyed to or taken over by the condemning authority but you will be liable for condemnation payments set forth in Section 12.2.

 

11.4 Our Other Remedies. We may suspend the Facility from the Reservation System for any default or failure to pay or perform under this Agreement or any other written agreement with us relating to the Facility, discontinue reservation referrals to the Facility for the duration of such suspension, and may divert previously made reservations to other Chain Facilities after giving notice of non-performance, non-payment or default. All fees accrue during the suspension period. Reservation service will be restored after you have fully cured any and all defaults and failures to pay and perform. We may charge you, and you must pay as a condition precedent to restoration of reservation service, a Reconnection Fee specified on Schedule C to reimburse us for our costs associated with service suspension and restoration. We may deduct points under our quality assurance inspection program for your failure to comply with this Agreement or System Standards. We may also suspend or terminate any temporary or other fee reductions we may have agreed to in this Agreement and/or any stipulations in Section 18 below, and/or cease to provide any operational support until you address any failure to perform under this Agreement. You agree that our exercise of any rights in this Section will not constitute an actual or constructive Termination of this Agreement. All such remedies are cumulative and not in lieu of any other rights or remedies we may have under this Agreement. If we exercise our right not to terminate this Agreement but to implement such suspension and/or removal, we reserve the right at any time after the appropriate cure period under the written notice has lapsed, to, upon written notice to you, terminate this Agreement without giving you any additional corrective or cure period (subject to applicable law). You recognize that any use of the System not in accord with this Agreement will cause us irreparable harm for which there is no adequate remedy at law, entitling us to injunctive and other relief, without the need for posting any bond. We may litigate to collect amounts due under this Agreement without first issuing a default or Termination notice. Our consent or approval may be withheld if needed while you are in default under this Agreement or may be conditioned on the cure of all your defaults. Once a Termination or expiration date for this Agreement has been established in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, we may cease accepting reservations through the Reservation System for any person(s) seeking to make a reservation for a stay on any date including or following the Termination or expiration of this Agreement.

 

17

 

 

11.5 Your Remedies.

 

11.5.1 If our approval or consent is required under this Agreement and we do not issue our approval or consent within a reasonable time, but in any event not less than 30 days after we receive all of the information we request, and you believe our failure to approve or consent is wrongful, then you may bring a legal action against us to compel us to issue our approval or consent to the obligation. To the extent permitted by applicable law, this action shall be your exclusive remedy.

 

11.5.2 You (and your owners and guarantors) waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to, or claim for, any punitive or exemplary damages against us and against any affiliates, owners, employees or agents of us, and agree that in the event of a dispute, you will be limited to the recovery of any actual damages sustained and any equitable relief to which you might be entitled.

 

12. Liquidated Damages.

 

12.1 Generally. If we terminate this Agreement under Section 11.2, or you terminate this Agreement (except under Section 11.3 or as a result of our default which we do not cure within a reasonable time after written notice), you will pay us within 10 days following the date of Termination, as Liquidated Damages, an amount equal to the average monthly accrued Recurring Fees during the immediately preceding 12 full calendar months multiplied by 36 (or the number of months remaining in the unexpired Term (the “Ending Period”) at the date of Termination, whichever is less). If the Facility has been open for fewer than 12 months, then the amount shall be the average monthly Recurring Fees since the Opening Date multiplied by 36. You will also pay any applicable Taxes assessed on such payment and Interest calculated under Section 7.3 accruing from 10 days after the date of termination. Before the Ending Period, Liquidated Damages will not be less than the product of $3,000 multiplied by the number of guest rooms that you are authorized to operate under Schedule B of this Agreement as of the Termination. In the event that we authorize you to reduce the number of rooms at the Facility after the Opening Date, then we reserve the right to charge Liquidated Damages for those rooms on a per-room basis, either at the time they are removed from the Facility’s inventory or at Termination. If we terminate this Agreement under Schedule D before the Opening Date, then you will pay us, within 10 days after you receive our notice of termination, Liquidated Damages in an amount equal to $1,500 per guest room described on Schedule B. If any valid, applicable law or regulation of a competent governmental authority having jurisdiction over this Agreement limits your ability to pay, and our ability to receive, the Liquidated Damages you are obligated to pay hereunder, you shall be liable to us for any and all damages which we incur, now or in the future, as a result of your breach of this Agreement. Liquidated Damages are paid in place of our claims for lost future Recurring Fees under this Agreement. Our right to receive other amounts due under this Agreement is not affected.

 

18

 

 

12.2 Condemnation Payments. In the event a Condemnation is to occur, you will pay us the fees set forth in Section 7 for a period of one year (the “Notice Period”) after we receive the initial notice of condemnation described in Section 11.3.2, or until the Condemnation occurs, whichever is longer. You will pay us Liquidated Damages equal to the average daily Membership and Marketing Fees for the one-year period preceding the date of your condemnation notice to us multiplied by the number of days remaining in the Notice Period if the Condemnation is completed before the Notice Period expires. This payment will be made within 30 days after Condemnation is completed (when you close the Facility or you deliver it to the condemning authority). You will pay no Liquidated Damages if the Condemnation is completed after the Notice Period expires, but you must pay the fees set forth in Section 7 when due until Condemnation is completed.

 

13. Your Duties At and After Termination. When a Termination occurs for any reason whatsoever:

 

13.1 System Usage Ceases. You must comply with the following “de-identification” obligations. You will immediately stop using the System to operate and identify the Facility. You will remove all signage and other items bearing any Marks and follow the other steps detailed in the System Standards Manual or other brand directives for changing the identification of the Facility. You will promptly paint over or remove the Facility’s distinctive System trade dress, color schemes and architectural features. You shall not identify the Facility with a confusingly similar mark or name, or use the same colors as the System trade dress for signage, printed materials and painted surfaces. You will cease all Internet marketing using any Marks to identify the Facility.

 

13.1.1 Cancel Assumed Name Certificate. You shall take such action as may be necessary to cancel any assumed name or equivalent registration which contains the name “Trademark Collectionor any variation thereof or any other Mark. You shall provide us with evidence to our satisfaction of compliance with this obligation within thirty (30) days after termination or expiration of this Agreement.

 

19

 

 

13.2 Other Duties. You will pay all amounts owed to us under this Agreement and any related ancillary agreements with us or our affiliates pertaining to the Facility within 10 days after Termination. We may immediately remove the Facility from the Reservation System and divert reservations as authorized in Section 11.4. We may notify third parties that the Facility is no longer associated with the Chain. We may also, to the extent permitted by applicable law, and without prior notice enter the Facility and any other parcels, remove software (including archive and back-up copies) for accessing the Reservation System, all copies of the System Standards Manual, Confidential Information, equipment and all other personal property of ours. If you have not completed your de-identification obligations to our satisfaction, we may paint over or remove and purchase for $10.00, all or part of any interior or exterior Mark-bearing signage (or signage face plates), including billboards, whether or not located at the Facility, that you have not removed or obliterated within five days after Termination. You will promptly pay or reimburse us for our cost of removing such items, net of the $10.00 purchase price for signage. We will exercise reasonable care in removing or painting over signage. We will have no obligation or liability to restore the Facility to its condition prior to removing the signage. You will transfer to us any domain names you own that include any material portion of the Marks.

 

13.3 Reservations. The Facility will honor any advance reservations, including group bookings, made for the Facility prior to Termination at the rates and on the terms established when the reservations are made and pay when due all related travel agent commissions. You acknowledge and agree that once a Termination or expiration date for this Agreement has been established in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, we may stop accepting reservations through the Reservation System for any person(s) seeking to make a reservation for a stay on any date on or after the Termination or expiration of this Agreement. In addition, when this Agreement terminates or expires for any reason, we have the right to contact those individuals or entities who have reserved rooms with you through the Central Reservation System to inform them that your lodging facility is no longer part of the System. We further have the right to inform those guests of other facilities within the System that are near your Facility in the event that the guests prefer to change their reservations. You agree that the exercise of our rights under this Section will not constitute an interference with your contractual or business relationship.

 

13.4 Survival of Certain Provisions. Sections 3.6 (as to audits, for 2 years after Termination), the first two sentences of 3.11, 7 (as to amounts accruing through Termination), 8, 11.3.2, 11.4, 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 survive Termination of this Agreement. Additionally, all covenants, obligations and agreements of yours which by their terms or by implication are to be performed after the termination or expiration of the Term, shall survive such Termination or expiration.

 

14. Your Representations and Warranties. You expressly represent and warrant to us as follows:

 

14.1 Quiet Enjoyment and Financing. You own, or will own prior to commencing improvement, or lease, the Location and the Facility. You will be entitled to possession of the Location and the Facility during the entire Term without restrictions that would interfere with your performance under this Agreement, subject to the reasonable requirements of any financing secured by the Facility. You have, when you sign this Agreement, and will maintain during the Term, adequate financial liquidity and financial resources to perform your obligations under this Agreement. If you are an entity, all of your owners or any of the individuals disclosed on Schedule B, including any subsequent person or entity that becomes an owner at any time after the Effective Date, shall sign our then-current form of personal guaranty guaranteeing all of your obligations under this Agreement, unless expressly waived by us in our sole discretion.

There are no express or implied covenants or warranties, oral or written, between we and you except as expressly stated in this Agreement.

 

15. Proprietary Rights.

 

15.1.1 Marks and System. You will not acquire any interest in or right to use the System or Marks except under this Agreement.

You agree (i) to execute any documents we request to obtain or maintain protection for the Marks; (ii) use the Marks only in connection with the operation of the Facility as permitted by the System Standards; and (iii) that your unauthorized use of the Marks shall constitute both an infringement of our rights and a material breach of your obligations under this Agreement.

15.2 Inurements. All present and future distinguishing characteristics, improvements and additions to or associated with the System by us, you or others, and all present and future service marks, trademarks, copyrights, service mark and trademark registrations used and to be used as part of the System, and the associated good will, shall be our property and will inure to our benefit.

 

15.3 Other Locations and Systems. We and our affiliates each reserve the right to own, (including through a joint venture or otherwise) in whole or in part, manage, operate, use, lease, finance, sublease, franchise, license (as franchisor or franchisee), or provide services to or joint venture (i) distinctive separate lodging or food and beverage marks and other intellectual property which are not part of the System, and to enter into separate agreements with you or others (for separate charges) for use of any such other marks or proprietary rights, (ii) other lodging, food and beverage facilities, or businesses, under the System utilizing modified System Standards, and (iii)a Chain Facility at or for any location other than the Location.

15.4 Confidential Information. You will take all appropriate actions to preserve the confidentiality of all Confidential Information. Access to Confidential Information should be limited to persons who need the Confidential Information to perform their jobs and are subject to your general policy on maintaining confidentiality as a condition of employment or who have first signed a confidentiality agreement. You will not permit copying of Confidential Information (including, as to computer software, any translation, decompiling, decoding, modification or other alteration of the source code of such software). You will use Confidential Information only for the Facility and to perform under this Agreement. Upon Termination (or earlier, as we may request), you shall return to us all originals and copies of the System Standards Manual, policy statements and Confidential Information “fixed in any tangible medium of expression,” within the meaning of the U.S. Copyright Act, as amended. Your obligations under this subsection commence when you sign this Agreement and continue for trade secrets (including computer software we license to you) as long as they remain secret and for other Confidential Information, for as long as we continue to use the information in confidence, even if edited or revised, plus three years. We will respond promptly and in good faith to your inquiry about continued protection of any Confidential Information. We recognize that you are a subsdiary of a publicly held company and are authorized to include this Agreement as an exhibit to your public filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, if required by law; provided, however, that if we request that any portions of this Agreement be redacted or otherewise given confidential treatment under applicable securities laws, rules, or regulations, you will make every effort to do so.

15.5 Litigation. You will promptly notify us of (i) any adverse or infringing uses of the Marks (or names or symbols confusingly similar), Confidential Information or other System intellectual property, and (ii) any threatened or pending litigation related to the System against (or naming as a party) you or us of which you become aware. We alone have the right to control any proceeding or litigation involving use of all or any part of the System, including settlement. You will cooperate with our efforts to resolve these disputes. We need not initiate suit against imitators or infringers who do not have a material adverse impact on the Facility, or any other suit or proceeding to enforce or protect the System in a matter we do not believe to be material. We also have the right to keep all sums obtained in settlement or as a damages award in any proceeding or litigation without any obligation to share any portion of the settlement sums or damages award with you. You will cooperate with our efforts to resolve these disputes.

 

15.6 The Internet and other Distribution Channels. You may use the Internet to market the Facility subject to this Agreement and System Standards. You shall not use, license or register any domain name, universal resource locator, or other means of identifying you or the Facility that uses a Mark or any image or language confusingly similar to a Mark except as otherwise expressly permitted by the System Standards Manual or with our written consent.

18.1 All-Inclusive Operation.

 

18.1.1 The Facility will be operated at all times throughout the Term as an “All-Inclusive Resort,” the all-inclusive nature of which may be adjusted from time to time in consultation with us, but which will include, at a minimum: accommodations; Food and Beverage, including snacks and alcoholic beverages; certain land and water activities, including access to tennis and pickleball courts; and such other amenities and features as you and we may agree from time to time. Any charges for additional amenities or services charged to Chain guests will be included in Gross Revenue, as defined in Section 18.3.

 

18.1.2 You must ensure that all amenities, activities, and other features of the Facility that are included in the booking rate for a guest room, and those that are not, are clearly identified, in advance, in the Central Reservation System and in all distribution channels.

 

18.2 Future Development of the Facility.

 

18.2.1 You have advised us that during the Term you or an affiliate of you may wish to develop some or all of the areas within the Facility designated as Area C on Exhibit A to this Agreement for the sale or rental of single-family or multi-family residences (i.e., condominiums or town homes) (the “Residential Development”). Subject to all provisions of Section 18, provided you notify us in advance and provide information about, and plans relating to, any Residential Development with us; that you take all commercially-reasonable steps to minimize disruption to Chain guests; that such Residential Development does not materially diminish the experience of Chain guests; that all revenue earned by you or any of your affiliates from the use of the Facility by owners or residents of the Residential Development (whether in the form of use passes, Food and Beverage packages, memberships, or otherwise) is included in Gross Revenue; and that such Residential Development is completed in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, as well as System Standards, we will not object to such Residential Development.

 

18.2.2 Without limiting the application of Section 2 or Section 18.7 of this Agreement, such Residential Development may not constitute a time share resort, vacation club, residence club, fractional ownership residence, or the like. No Residential Development may be used to further or promote a different or competing business, including without limitation, advertising or promotion for guest lodging facilities other than those franchised by us or our affiliates, and marketing, advertising, or promoting any timeshare or vacation ownership resort not affiliated with us, our affiliates, or Travel + Leisure, Inc., formerly known as Wyndham Destinations, Inc., and its affiliates. Under no circumstance will any area of the Facility be used for commercial development that is unrelated to recreational or resort activities (provided that the Residential Development may include an on-site restaurant) nor will any part of the Facility be used by any party other than a Permitted Shared User, as defined below. Subject to this Section 18.2, use of the Facility by owners or residents of the Residential Development and their guests will be considered “Permitted Shared Users,” as defined in Section 18.12.

 

27

 

 

18.2.3 As a condition of our ongoing consent to the Residential Development, we may require that any joint venture partner, investor, or other party that has or acquires a beneficial ownership interest in developing the Residential Development with you or your affiliates execute such documentation as we may provide to acknowledge that they understand and agree with the provisions of this Agreement pertaining to the Residential Development and Permitted Shared Uses.

 

18.2.4 Upon our request, you and we will execute an amendment to this Agreement to memorialize terms and conditions related to such future development, from time to time. You acknowledge that our consent will be required if any of the units included in the Residential Development are to be included in a rental pool (however characterized) that will have access to or be considered part of the Facility, which consent (if given in our sole but reasonable discretion) will require an amendment to this Agreement.

 

18.3. Gross Revenue, Defined.

 

18.3.1 Schedule A is amended to delete the definition of Gross Rooms Revenue and replace it with the following defined term; all remaining references to Gross Rooms Revenue in the Agreement shall mean Gross Revenue:

 

Gross Revenue means all revenue and income of any kind derived, directly or indirectly, from the operation of the Facility; all package revenue and non-package revenue; all Food and Beverage revenue; all spa and fitness center revenue if included in package revenue; revenue from any concessionaires or tenants, including those that provide services to Chain guests or Permitted Shares Users; all revenue derived in connection with any Permitted Shared Use; and all other revenue, including but not limited to credit transactions, whether or not collected; guaranteed no-show revenue, net of chargebacks from credit card issuers; and miscellaneous fees charged to all guests regardless of the accounting treatment of such fees. If the Facility receives any proceeds from any business interruption insurance covering its operation, then Gross Revenue will include an amount equal to the imputed gross revenue that the insurer used to calculate those proceeds. The following shall be excluded from Gross Revenue: items sold in Facility retail stores; separate charges to guests for spa services; and federal, state and local sales, occupancy, and use taxes charged to Facility guests. This definition is qualified by reference to the provisions of Section 18, including but not limited Section 18.2.2. For purposes of this Agreement, all references to Gross Room Revenues shall mean Gross Revenue.

 

28

 

 

18.3.2 In addition to other sources of revenue identified in the definition of Gross Revenue, and for the avoidance of doubt as to such definition, revenue attributable to passes for the Permitted Shared Use of the Facility, to F&B Packages (as defined in Section 18.12.1) purchased by or on behalf of Permitted Shared Users, and revenue paid by or attributable to any affiliated residential units, including those in the Residential Development, will be included in Gross Revenue. Fees for such passes and Food and Beverage must be at commercially-reasonable rates, taking into consideration the average daily rate for Chain guests of the Facility and applicable group rates, if applicable. You will include in your monthly reporting of Gross Revenue a detailed accounting of the components of Gross Revenue. We reserve the right to issue to you a notice of default if we determine that such fees are not commercially-reasonable. If such passes or Food and Beverage arrangements are included in any packaged or bundled pricing by the Sports Academies or other providers of other Permitted Shared Uses, you agree, on behalf of yourself and your affiliates, to include in Gross Revenue an amount attributable to the use of the Facility reasonably related to the prices charged to Permitted Shared Users for stand-alone passes or F&B Packages. You and we agree to work in good faith to resolve any disputes as to a commercially-reasonable pricing and allocations to be attributed to Gross Revenue with respect to all Permitted Shared Uses.

 

18.4 Combined Fees. Notwithstanding Section 7.1, you will pay a monthly Combined Fee consisting of the Royalty and System Assessment Fee (which is comprised of a Marketing Contribution and Basic Reservation Fee) at the rates set forth in this Section.

18.5 [*]

18.7 Protected Territory.

We may own, operate, lease, manage, franchise or license anyone to operate any Chain Facility located anywhere outside the Protected Territory without any restriction or obligation to you. We may grant Protected Territories for other Chain Facilities that overlap your Protected Territory. This Section does not apply to any Chain Facility located in the Protected Territory on the Effective Date, which we may renew, relicense, allow to expand, or replace with a replacement Facility located within the same trading area having not more than 120% of the guest rooms of the replaced Chain Facility if its franchise with us terminates or is not renewed. Without our prior written consent, which may be withheld in our sole discretion, you shall ensure that no part of the Facility or the System is used to further or promote a different or competing business, including without limitation, advertising or promotion for guest lodging facilities other than those franchised by us or our affiliates and marketing, advertising or promoting any timeshare or vacation ownership resort not affiliated with us, our affiliates, or Travel + Leisure, Inc., formerly known as Wyndham Destinations, Inc., and its affiliates. You will use any information obtained through the Reservation System to refer guests, directly or indirectly, only to Chain Facilities. You acknowledge that the Protected Territory fairly represents the Facility’s trading area and that there are no express or implied territorial rights or agreements between the parties except as stated in this Section. You irrevocably waive any right to seek or obtain the benefits of any policy we now follow or may in the future follow to notify you about proposed Chain Facilities in the general area of the Facility, solicit information about the effect of the proposed Chain Facility on the revenue or occupancy of the Facility or decide whether to add the proposed Chain Facility to the Chain based on the potential effect of the proposed Chain Facility on the Facility or its performance. You further acknowledge and agree that notwithstanding the foregoing, we may operate, lease, manage, or license any other party to operate a Chain Facility in the Protected Territory beginning (a) six months prior to the expiration of this Agreement, or (b) as of the date that a date for the premature termination of this Agreement has been confirmed in writing by us. The covenants in this Section are mutually dependent; if you breach this Section, your Protected Territory will be the Location only. The Protected Territory means [*].

You must enter into a management agreement with a management company acceptable to us no later than fifteen (15) days from the Effective Date. We must approve any proposed management company and, upon our request, the agreement between the management company and you with respect to the operation of the Facility. Such management company’s policies and procedures must not conflict with System Standards. The management of the Facility by such approved management company shall be continuous and uninterrupted during the Term and you shall not terminate the management agreement without simultaneously replacing it with another management company approved by us; provided, however, that if you terminate the management agreement for exigent and unforeseeable circumstances, and provided you have experienced, qualified management on site, we will permit you up to 30 days to retain a new management company approved by us. You shall be in default under this Section if any of the preceding conditions are not met. Our approval of the management company does not constitute an endorsement, guaranty or warranty of performance of the management company. As of the Effective Date, and subject to the foregoing, we have approved [*]

 

18.9 Conversion to Other WHG Brands.

 

18.9.1 Subject to this Section 18.9, you may request the conversion of the Facility to another WHG Brand (as defined below) offered by a WHG Franchisor (as such terms are defined below).

18.9.3 [*]We have provided you with, and you have accepted, a PIP for the Trademark by Wyndham brand, and we also have provided you with a tentative property improvement plan for the Wyndham Alltra brand (the “Alltra PIP”), with it being expressly agreed and understood that (i) providing you with the Alltra PIP is not an offering of a franchise, nor is it a representation that we or an affiliate of ours will offer such a franchise in the future; (ii) the Alltra PIP may be updated prior to you exercising your right to convert the Facility to Wyndham Alltra, to comply with Wyndham Alltra system standards as they may exist at that time; and (iii) the approval of your application for another WHG Brand may be conditioned on your acceptance of a PIP for that brand.

 

18.9.4. You expressly acknowledge that neither we nor any of our affiliates has offered, and is not offering, you a franchise for any WHG Brand other than the Trademark by Wyndham Brand, and will only do so after delivering to you a franchise disclosure document for such other WHG Brand and otherwise in accordance with all applicable law.

 

18.9.5 For the avoidance of doubt, you acknowledge that there can be no assurances that another WHG Franchisor will agree to offer you all of the same terms reprsented by the Special Stipulations set forth in Section 18 to this Agreement, including but not limited to the provision of Sections 18.1, 18.2, 18.10, and 18.12.

 

18.9.6 For purposes of this Agreement, “WHG Brand” means any brand and system licensed by a subsidiary of our parent company, Wyndham Hotel Group, LLC, and the term, “WHG Franchisor” means any of such subsidiaries.

 

18.10 Guest Rooms, Sports Academy Rooms, and Excluded Rooms.

 

18.10.1 You have represented that in addition to the number of guest rooms listed on Schedule B, 28 guest rooms (the “Excluded Rooms”), located in the building identified as Area B on Exhibit A, currently are used exclusively as housing for participants in the Sports Academies, and are not, and will not be, used to house Chain guests. The Excluded Rooms will contain no Marks, Mark-bearing supplies or materials, or any other System identification. You will reserve a portion of the tuition paid by students at the Sports Academies to pay for the students’ use of the Excluded Rooms. Revenue you derive from the use of the Excluded Rooms by the Sports Academiesm, as part of the students’ tuition, will be included in Gross Revenue.

 

31

 

 

18.10.2 You have advised us that prior to your acquisition of the Facility, the building identified as Area A on Exhibit A, which consists of 120 sleeping rooms (the “Area A Rooms”) and 60 bathrooms was used as staff housing, and was not (and is not and will not be) available for rent to transient guests. Inasmuch as these rooms never were available for guest use, they are not included in the definition of Excluded Rooms but are subject to the same requirements as Excluded Rooms in that they may not contain any Marks, Mark-bearing supplies or materials, or any other System identification. You have further advised us that you may renovate Area A and repurpose it for use as dormitories for participants in the Sports Academies, at which time you may request putting the Excluded Rooms into service. Subject to the following, and to any renovations to Area A not interfering with the use and enjoyment of the Facilty by Chain guests, we consent to you renovating and repurposing Area A for the foregoing use, provided that if any Facility services (e.g., housekeeping, security) or amenities (e.g., Food and Beverage) are utilized, the Sports Academies will pay you (or you will otherwise attribute) a reasonable rate for such services and Food and Beverage commensurate with the cost of such amenities or services and such revenue will be included in Gross Revenue.

 

18.10.3 You will not place any Excluded Rooms or any Area A Rooms in service as rentable guest rooms (for rent to Chain guests) unless and until renovated to meet System Standards for entering conversion rooms, and we inspect and approve each Excluded Room or Area A Room, as applicable, to be added as a rentable room. At such time as we approve such additional room to be added to inventory available for Chain guests, you and we will execute an amendment to this Agreement to update the number of rooms on Schedule B. No room addition fee shall be due upon adding such rooms to inventory available for rent to Chain guests. The first time you violate this Section and rent an Excluded Room or an Area A Room to a Chain guest, the violation will be treated as a default under Section 11.1. Your second violation of this Section will be treated as endangering the health and safety of guests, resulting in a non-curable default under Section 11.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you have represented that it is not your intention, as of the Effective Date, to renovate the Area A Rooms for use by Chain guests.

 

18.10.4 Notwithstanding the foregoing, at your request, we have reflected the number of Excluded Rooms and the number of Area A Rooms in the total number of rooms on Schedule B, such that although they are not available for rent to Chain guests (unless and until added to rentable inventory, with our approval), you will be able to manage such rooms in your property management system, including key card access.

 

18.11. Affiliated Sports Academies.

 

18.11.1 Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, you may continue to use the Facility in conjunction with the sports academies operated by you or your affiliates (the “Sports Academies”), provided as follows: (i) any revenue you or your affiliates derive from such operations shall be included in Gross Revenue to the extent that (A) such revenue is derived from Chain guests; or (B) the Sports Acadmies offer (either a la carte or as part of a Sports Academy package, however charactized) the use of the Facilities, including any Food and Beverage outlets or other amenities, to their students or customers that are not guests of the Facility (in which case, a portion of the Sports Academies’ revenue will be attributed to Gross Revenue in accordance with Section 18.3.2); (ii) the Sports Academies are subject to, and comply with, the obligations of Section 3.8 of this Agreement; (iii) the Sports Academies are subject to, and comply with, the obligations of Section 8; and (iv) such use will not be inconsistent with your obligation to maintain a warm, cordial, and comfortable environment that is consistent with System Standards for Chain guests.

 

32

 

 

18.11.2 You agree that the operation of the Sports Academies may not interfere or be inconsistent with System Standards for Chain guests, or the overall use and enjoyment of the Facility by the Chain guests.

 

18.11.3 Under no circumstances shall the Sports Academies conduct their operation under the Marks. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Sports Academies provide services to Chain guests and without violating the immediately foregoing provision regarding the Marks, the operation of the Sports Academies at the Facility should appear seamless to the Chain guests. Upon request from us, you will ensure that the Sports Academies execute documentation to be provided by us confirming their agreement to the provisions of this Section 18.11.

 

18.11.4 You and we acknowledge that, as of the Effective Date, the Sports Academies provide some of the recreational activities that are included in the “all-inclusive” experience for Chain guests; that the Sports Academies share with the Facility the use of the areas designated on Exhibit A as follows: Soccer and Golf Academy Turf and Volleyball Academy; and that the Sports Academies utilize the area shown on Exhibit A as the Soccer and Golf Academy Administration.

 

18.11.5 The provisions of Section 18.11 will terminate at such time as any of the Sports Academies no longer is affiliated with you, at which time, upon our request, you must ensure that your successor- or successors-in-interest to such Sports Academy or Sports Academies promptly vacate the Facility.

 

18.12 Permitted Shared Use of the Facility.

 

18.12.1 Notwithstanding anything set forth in Section 2 to the contrary, and provided you are in full compliance with the Agreement, you and your affiliates may permit the shared use of the Facility (other than the use of guest rooms) by the following parties, and under the following conditions, subject to Section 18.3: (i) customers, staff, and students of the Sports Academies, including persons staying in Area A Rooms, provided such customers purchase passes for the use of the Facility and food and beverage packages for the Facility’s Food and Beverage venues (“F&B Packages”); (ii) customers and other guests of the marina affiliated with the Facility, provided such guests and customers purchase passes for the use of the Facility and F&B Packages; (iii) owners, the immediate family of owners, and any guests of owners of any residential units in the Residential Development, provided that all revenue earned by you or any of your affiliates from the use of the Facility by owners or residents of the Residential Development or their guests (whether in the form of use passes, Food and Beverage packages, memberships, or otherwise) is included in Gross Revenue; and (iv) such use will not be inconsistent with your obligation to maintain a warm, cordial, and comfortable environment that is consistent with System Standards for Chain guests. Under no circumstances will the Facility be shared with, or otherwise used by, guests or customers of any party that is not affiliated with you or any persons not expressly authorized in the foregoing subsections (i), (ii), or (iii). Any use expressly authorized by this Section 18.12 is a “Permitted Shared Use” and the persons other than Chain guests who are authorized to engage in a Permitted Shared Use are the “Permitted Shared Users.”

 

18.12.2 Upon request from us, you will ensure that any of your affiliates that are or will be involved in the Permitted Shared Uses execute documentation to be provided by us confirming their agreement to the provisions of this Section 18.12.

 

18.12.3 Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, under no circumstances shall the golf course (if redeveloped outside of the Facility), marina, all or any portion of the Residential Development, Sports Academies, or any other use, whether or not a Permitted Shared Use, operate under any or utilize the Marks or the “Wyndham” name.

 

18.13. [*]

 

18.14. Guest Satisfaction Scores. Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement or System Standards, and for the avoidance of doubt, we may issue to you a notice of default (i) at any time that the monthly number of guest complaints at your Facility exceeds the average monthly number of complaints for all Chain Facilities for the preceding two calendar years, and (ii) if guest survey scores from guest surveys conducted by an independent guest survey organization for the Chain place the Facility in the lowest quartile of the Chain for any calendar quarter.

Upon receipt of such notice, any outstanding affected Growth Capital Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. If any Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to maintain any Loan that bears interest at a rate based on Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to Borrowers (through Administrative Agent), any outstanding affected Growth Capital Loans shall become Base Rate Loans.

(i) No Bankruptcy Filing. No bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings are pending or contemplated by any Loan Party or, to the best knowledge of each Loan Party, against any principal, general partner, manager, sole member, managing member or majority shareholder of any Borrower. No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against any Loan Party or any principal, general partner, manager, sole member, managing member or majority shareholder of any Borrower, as applicable, and no Loan Party, any principal, general partner, manager, sole member, managing member or majority shareholder of any Borrower has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors.

 

(j) Title. Each Loan Party has good and indefeasible title to the Collateral owned and to be pledged by such Loan Party pursuant to the applicable Loan Documents, free and clear of all Liens except the Permitted Liens. The Security Agreement and any UCC Financing Statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create a valid, perfected first priority lien on each Loan Party’s interest in the all Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired. Each Loan Party is the owner and operator of the applicable Site(s) set forth on Schedule 4.1(j) hereof with respect to such Loan Party. Borrowers have good, marketable and insurable leasehold title to the Property (as defined in the Ground Lease), and good title to the rest of the Project (as defined in the Disbursement Agreement), subject to no Lien, except Permitted Encumbrances. There are no mechanics’, materialman’s or other similar Liens which have been filed for work, labor or materials affecting the Project which are or may be Liens prior to, or equal or subordinate to, the Liens created by the Loan Documents. None of the Permitted Encumbrances, individually or in the aggregate, (i) interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, by the Security Documents and the other Loan Documents, (ii) adversely affect the value of the Property or the Improvements (as defined in the Disbursement Agreement), (iii) impair the use or intended operations of the Property or the Improvements, or (iv) impair any Loan Party’s ability to pay its respective Obligations in a timely manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if requested by any utility company providing a material utility service to the Project in connection with the grant of a utility easement by Borrowers and such utility easement constitutes a Permitted Encumbrance, Administrative Agent shall enter into an instrument reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent subordinating the Lien of the Security Documents to such easement.

 

(k) Full and Accurate Disclosure. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.1(k), no statement of fact made by any Loan Party in any Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to any Loan Party that has not been disclosed to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders which adversely affects, or, as far as any Loan Party can foresee, could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the Collateral or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of any Loan Party. All financial data, including the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Administrative Agent in respect of any Loan Party (i) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) accurately represent the financial condition of such Loan Party as of the date of such reports, and (iii) have been prepared in accordance with sound accounting practices, on a cash/tax basis, consistently applied throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Each Loan Party represents that, except as disclosed in the periodic reports filed by Borrowers with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), it does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments, unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments or any liabilities or obligations not expressly permitted by this Agreement. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of any Loan Party from that set forth in said financial statements.

 

18
 

 

(l) Fraudulent Transfer. No Loan Party has entered into the Loan Documents or consummated any of the transactions contemplated thereby with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and each Loan Party has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of each Loan Party’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, exceed such Loan Party’s probable total liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. No Loan Party’s assets currently, and immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. No Loan Party intends to, and no Loan Party believes that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of such Loan Party).

 

(m) ERISA. No Loan Party has an employee pension benefit plan.

 

(n) No Broker. No broker or finder introduced by any Loan Party to Administrative Agent or any Lender, brought about this transaction, or is entitled to any commission in connection therewith, except for such brokers as are identified on the Flow of Funds Memorandum attached hereto as Exhibit B and paid in full on the Closing Date, and Borrowers agree to indemnify, defend and hold Administrative Agent and Lenders harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities or expenses from brokers or other claims for commissions or fees including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses on account of the making of the loan secured hereby. Each Borrower’s indemnity hereunder shall survive any discharge of the Collateral, if any, and payment in full of the Obligations.

 

(o) Ownership. Schedule 4.1(o) hereto sets forth a true and correct copy of the capitalization table and ownership of each Borrower and Guarantor. Borrowers have no Subsidiaries other than Guarantors, and Guarantors have no Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors. All ownership interests in Borrowers and Guarantors are owned free and clear of any Lien (other than the Liens granted in connection with the Security Agreement). All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Altitude have been duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. No shares of capital stock of Altitude are subject to preemptive rights or any other similar rights of the shareholders of Altitude or any liens or encumbrances imposed through the actions or failure to act of Altitude. As of the effective date of this Agreement, other than as set forth on Schedule 4.1(o), (i) there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe for, puts, calls, rights of first refusal, agreements, understandings, claims or other commitments or rights of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into or exchangeable for any shares of capital stock of Altitude or any of its Subsidiaries, or arrangements by which Altitude or any of its Subsidiaries is or may become bound to issue additional shares of capital stock of Altitude or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) there are no agreements or arrangements under which Altitude or any of its Subsidiaries is obligated to register the sale of any of its or their securities under the Securities Act and (iii) there are no anti-dilution or price adjustment provisions contained in any security issued by Altitude (or in any agreement providing rights to security holders) that will be triggered by the issuance of any of the Commitment Shares.

 

(p) Name; Principal Place of Business. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1(p) hereto, no Borrower uses, and no Borrower will use, any trade name, and no Borrower has done, and no Borrower will do, business under any name other than its actual name set forth herein. The principal place of business of each Borrower is its primary address for notices as set forth in Section 10.1, and no Borrower has any other place of business, except as set forth on Schedule 4.1(j) hereto.

 

19
 

 

(q) Other Debt; Liens. No Borrower or Guarantor has any Debt, other than Permitted Debt. No Property of any Borrower or Guarantor is subject to any Lien, other than Permitted Liens.

 

(r) No Material Adverse Change. Other than as disclosed in the periodic reports filed by Borrowers with the Commission, no event, change or condition has occurred that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect since December 31, 2021.

 

(s) Investment Company Status. No Loan Party is an investment company as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940.

 

(t) Taxes. Each Loan Party has timely filed or caused to be filed all tax returns and reports required to have been filed (after giving effect to any extensions granted with respect thereto) and has paid or caused to be paid all federal and state income Taxes and other material Tax required to have been paid by it, except (a) taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which such Loan Party has set aside on its books adequate reserves or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so could not be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Liens have been filed, and no claims are being asserted, with respect to any such taxes. All transfer taxes, deed stamps, intangible taxes or other amounts in the nature of transfer taxes required to be paid under applicable Laws in connection with the transfer of the Project (as defined in the Disbursement Agreement) to the applicable Borrower have been paid or are being paid simultaneously herewith. All mortgage, mortgage recording, stamp, intangible or other similar tax required to be paid under applicable Laws in connection with the execution, delivery, recordation, filing, registration, perfection or enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, including the Security Documents, have been paid or are being paid simultaneously herewith. All taxes and governmental assessments due and owing in respect of the Project have been paid, or an escrow of funds in an amount sufficient to cover such payments has been established hereunder or are insured against by the Title Policy (as defined in the Store Purchase and Sale Agreement). There are no pending or proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the Project, nor are there any contemplated improvements to the Project that may result in such special or other assessments.

 

(u) Security Interest in Collateral. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents create legal and valid Liens on all of the Collateral in favor of Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and such Liens constitute perfected and continuing Liens on the Collateral, securing the Obligations, enforceable against the applicable Loan Party and all third parties, and having priority over all other Liens on the Collateral except in the case of (a) Permitted Liens, to the extent any such Permitted Liens would have priority over the Liens in favor of Administrative Agent pursuant to any applicable law or agreement and (b) Liens perfected only by possession (including possession of any certificate of title) to the extent Administrative Agent has not obtained or does not maintain possession of such Collateral.

 

(v) Margin Regulations. No Loan Party is engaged nor will engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of purchasing or carrying margin stock, or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock, and no part of the proceeds of the Loan hereunder will be used to buy or carry any margin stock.

 

(w) Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loan have been used and will be used, whether directly or indirectly, as set forth in Section 5.1(t).

 

20
 

 

(x) Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions. Each Loan Party has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by such Loan Party, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions, and such Loan Party and their respective officers and employees and, to the knowledge of such Loan Party, its directors and agents, are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions in all material respects and are not knowingly engaged in any activity that would reasonably be expected to result in any Loan Party being designated as a Sanctioned Person. None of (a) any Loan Party or any of their respective directors, officers or, to the knowledge of any such Loan Party, employees, or (b) to the knowledge of any such Loan Party, any agent of such Loan Party that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from the credit facility established hereby, is a Sanctioned Person. No Advance, use of proceeds or other transaction contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents will violate Anti-Corruption Laws or applicable Sanctions.

 

(y) Common Enterprise. The successful operation and condition of each of the Loan Parties is dependent on the continued successful performance of the functions of the group of the Loan Parties as a whole and the successful operation of each of the Loan Parties is dependent on the successful performance and operation of each other Loan Party. Each Loan Party expects to derive benefit (and its board of directors or other governing body has determined that it may reasonably be expected to derive benefit), directly and indirectly, from (a) successful operations of each of the other Loan Parties and (b) the credit extended by each Lender to the Borrowers hereunder, both in their separate capacities and as members of the group of companies. Each Loan Party has determined that execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and any other Loan Documents to be executed by such Loan Party is within its purpose, in furtherance of its direct and/or indirect business interests, will be of direct and indirect benefit to such Loan Party, and is in its best interest.

 

(z) Defects and Hazards. No Borrower knows of any defects, facts or conditions affecting the Property (as defined in the Ground Lease) that make it unsuitable for the use contemplated hereunder or, except as disclosed in the Environmental Report (as defined in the Store Purchase and Sale Agreement), of any abnormal hazards (including soils and groundwater contamination, earth movement or slippage) affecting the Property.

 

(aa) Boundary Lines; Conformance with Governmental Requirements and Restrictions; Utilities. (i) The exterior lines of the Improvements (as defined in the Disbursement Agreement) are, and at all times will be, within the boundary lines of the Property (as defined in the Ground Lease) (except as shown on the Site, Utility and Building Plans (as defined in the Disbursement Agreement)) and in compliance with all applicable setback requirements. Borrowers and the Project (as defined in the Disbursement Agreement), including the Improvements, are, and at all times will be, in compliance with all applicable Laws, all covenants encumbering the Property and the Ground Lease. Borrowers have obtained or will obtain prior to the first Advance all required permits and approvals which are necessary for the construction of the Project in accordance with the Site, Utility and Building Plans, the Ground Lease and all applicable Laws, including, where applicable, building, environmental, subdivision, land use and zoning laws, and all permits for the Improvements being performed by Borrowers, plot plan approvals, subdivision approvals (including the approval and recordation of any required subdivision map), environmental approvals (including a negative declaration or an environmental impact report if required under applicable law), sewer and water permits and zoning and land use entitlements, if any (collectively, the “Required Permits and Approvals”). Borrowers have obtained all approvals of the parties required in connection with the construction of the Project pursuant to any license, easement or restriction affecting the Property.

 

21
 

 

(ii) The Property and the Improvements are served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service the Property and the Improvements for their intended uses. All public utilities necessary or convenient for the full use and enjoyment of the Property and the Improvements are located either in the public right of way or other appurtenant rights abutting the Property (which are or will be connected so as to serve the Property and the Improvements without passing over other property) or in recorded easements serving the Property and the Improvements and described in the Title Policy (as defined in the Store Purchase and Sale Agreement).

 

(bb) Project Costs; Sources of Funds. On a line item and total basis, to the best of Borrowers’ knowledge, Project (as defined in the Disbursement Agreement) costs shown on the Budget (as defined in the Disbursement Agreement) are true, correct and complete listing of all costs for material, supplies, equipment, labor, and other work and services of any kind necessary to achieve completion of the Project. Borrowers will provide, upon request of Administrative Agent, the names of all persons, parties and entities having contracts or subcontracts relating to development, construction or completion of the Project, or which are otherwise entitled to receive payment for materials, supplies, equipment, labor, or other work or services of any kind with respect to the Project, and the amounts previously paid, now due, or to become due to each of said parties. There is no amount previously paid, now due or to become due to any party for work on the Project that has not been disclosed in writing to Administrative Agent, or any amounts for any line item in excess of the amount listed in the Budget, for material, supplies, equipment, labor, or other work or services of any kind relating to the Project. Borrowers have no knowledge, after due inquiry, that any source of funds for the Project will not be received in the amounts and at the times described in the construction schedule approved by Administrative Agent.

22
 

 

(gg) Leases. Except for the Ground Lease, there is no lease in effect relating to the Property (as defined in the Ground Lease) or the Improvements (as defined in the Disbursement Agreement). Borrowers have delivered to Administrative Agent true, correct and complete copies of all leases, if any, currently affecting the Property or the Improvements, or both, and there are no oral agreements.

(ll) No Work Commenced. No construction/renovation work or other work with respect to the Improvements (as defined in the Disbursement Agreement) has been commenced prior to the Closing Date by or on behalf of any Borrower.

 

4.2 Each Lender represents and warrants to Altitude, as of the Closing Date, as follows:

 

(a) Investment Purpose. Each Lender (or its designee) is acquiring the Commitment Shares for its own account and not with a present view towards the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted from registration under the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Lender does not agree to hold any of the Commitment Shares for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Commitment Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act.

 

(b) Accredited Investor Status. Each Lender (or its designee) is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

(c) Investment Risks. Each Lender (or its designee) acknowledges and agrees that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Commitment Shares. Each Lender (or its designee) is a sophisticated institutional investor and is able to fend for itself in the transactions contemplated herein and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Commitment Shares. Each Lender (or its designee) has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Commitment Shares and determined that the Commitment Shares are a suitable investment for such Lender (or its designee).

 

23
 

 

(d) Legend. Each Lender (or its designee) agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Agreement, of a legend on any of the Commitment Shares in the following form:

 

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE AND FOREIGN SECURITIES LAWS. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.

 

(e) The Lenders (or their designees) understand that the Commitment Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Lenders’ representations as expressed herein. Each Lender (or its designee) understands that the Commitment Shares consist of “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Lenders (or their designees) must hold the Commitment Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. The Lenders (or their designees) acknowledge that Altitude has no obligation to register or qualify the Commitment Shares for resale. The Lenders (or their designees) further acknowledge that, if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements, including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Commitment Shares and requirements relating to Altitude which are outside of the Lenders’ (or their designees’) control and which Altitude is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.

 

(f) Disclosure. The Parties agree to the disclosure by the Borrowers of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Commission as required by the Securities Act or other securities laws.

 

5. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.

Each Loan Party acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent and/or Lender would not be commercially unreasonable in the Administrative Agent’s and/or Lender’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent and/or Lender shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any rights to the Loan Parties or to impose any duties on the Administrative Agent and/or Lender that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section.

 

9. WAIVERS.

 

Failure by Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, remedy or option under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any other documents relating to the Obligations, or as provided by Applicable Law, or any delay by Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising the same, shall not operate as a waiver of any such right, remedy or option.

11.2 Indemnity. Each Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent and each Lender, each Affiliate and Subsidiary of Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each investment manager, servicer, partner, member, officer, director, employee, agent and advisor of Administrative Agent and each Lender (each, an “Indemnitee”) against, defend and hold each of them harmless from, any and all Specified Losses (defined below) unless such Specified Losses incurred by any such Indemnitee are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee; or (ii) a claim brought by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any third Person against such Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document. For purposes of this Section, the term “Specified Losses” means all costs, losses, liabilities, claims, damages and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, which may be incurred by any Indemnitee, or asserted against any Indemnitee by Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any third Person, arising out of, in connection with or as a result of (a) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby and the performance by Administrative Agent or any Lender of its respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby, (b) the Loan or any actual use of the proceeds therefrom, (c) any actual claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, or (d) any actual claim, litigation or proceeding by any third party, so long as all Indemnitees are in compliance with Applicable Law related to such third party, collections or exercise of remedies relating to any third party.

 

11.3 Taxes. The Loan Parties shall pay, and hold Lender harmless from and against, any and all present and future stamp, documentary, and other similar taxes with respect to this Agreement and any other Loan Documents, any collateral described therein, or any payments due thereunder, and save Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to pay such taxes.

 

11.4 Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Loan Parties for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under this Section 11 to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party thereof, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender), such payment to be made severally among them (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), provided, further that, the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), or against any Related Party thereof acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 11.4 are subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(c).

 

38
 

 

11.5 Waiver of Damages. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, and acknowledges that no other Person shall have, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in Section 11.2 above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

 

11.6 Payment. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

11.8 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Borrowers or any other Loan Party is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the federal funds rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

 

12. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

 

12.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent to act on its behalf as the administrative agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and no Loan Party shall have any rights as third-party beneficiaries of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

 

12.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

 

39
 

 

12.3 Exculpatory Provisions.

 

(a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. The parties do not intend to create any agency, partnership, joint venture, trust, fiduciary or other relationship with duties or incidents different from those of parties to an arm’s-length contract. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Lenders, provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law; and (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

 

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Lenders or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given in writing to the Administrative Agent by any Loan Party, or a Lender.

 

(c) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

 

12.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reasonably rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for reasonably relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may reasonably rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is reasonably satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of such Loan Party.

 

40
 

 

12.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

 

12.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent at any time by giving thirty (30) days advance notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrowers and, thereafter, the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. Upon any such resignation, the Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Lenders, or have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 12.6 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent. If no successor has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

 

12.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

 

41
 

 

12.8 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of the Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Loan Parties) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loan and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

 

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

 

(c) and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent hereunder.

 

13. MISCELLANEOUS.

 

13.1 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents embody the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any prior agreements, whether written or oral, with respect thereof, are expressly superseded hereby.

13.2 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided that no Loan Party may assign this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any right or benefit hereunder to any Person. Any Lender may assign any or all of its rights and obligations hereunder at any time and to any Person, upon Administrative Agent’s prior written consent and the execution and delivery of an assignment and assumption agreement by such assigning Lender to the proposed assignee, in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent. From and after the effective date of any such assignment, the assignee shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Lender, be released from its obligations under this Agreement. Upon request, Borrowers shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Subject to the foregoing, any Lender shall have the right to enter into one or more participations with respect to the Obligations without prior notice or consent of the Loan Parties.

 

13.3 Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claim, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

 

13.4 Submission to Jurisdiction.

 

(a) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be brought in the courts of the State of New York or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York and (ii) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in any such action, suit or proceeding. Final judgment against any Loan Party in any action, suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment. Nothing in this Section 13.4 shall affect the right of Administrative Agent and each Lender to (i) commence legal proceedings or otherwise sue any Loan Party in any other court having jurisdiction over such Loan Party or (ii) serve process upon any Loan Party in any manner authorized by the laws of any such jurisdiction.

 

42
 

 

(b) In accordance with Rule 9, Accelerated Adjudication Actions, as set forth in Section 202.70(g) of the Rules of the Commercial Division of the Supreme Court, subject to the requirements for a case to be heard in the Commercial Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, the Loan Parties hereby agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Commercial Division, New York State Supreme Court, and to the application of the such Court’s accelerated procedures, in connection with any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the breach, termination, enforcement or validity thereof.

 

13.5 Venue. Each Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in any court referred to in Section 13.4 and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

 

13.6 Advertising. Administrative Agent and each Lender, and their affiliates, in their sole and absolute discretion, may disclose publicly (including on its website) for marketing and promotional purposes that the Loan Parties are in such Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s portfolio, including but not limited to a royalty-free, non-exclusive, worldwide, irrevocable license in any intellectual property for use solely in marketing and promotional materials.

 

13.7 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY.

 

13.8 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif” format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

 

13.9 Waiver of Notice. Each Loan Party hereby waives demand for payment, presentment for payment, protest, notice of payment, notice of dishonor, notice of nonpayment, notice of acceleration of maturity and diligence in taking any action to collect sums owing hereunder.

 

13.10 USA PATRIOT Act. Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow Administrative Agent and each Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, and each Loan Party agrees to provide such information from time to time to the Administrative Agent.

13.12 Amendments and Waivers. No term of this Agreement may be waived, modified or amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the Parties hereto. Any waiver of the terms hereof shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given.

 

13.13 Headings. The headings of the various Sections and subsections herein are for reference only and shall not define, modify, expand or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof.

 

13.14 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

44
 

 

13.17 Joint and Several Obligations. The obligations of each Borrower hereunder and under each of the other Loan Documents are joint and several. Each reference to the term “Borrower” hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to each Borrower, each representation and warranty made by a Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be deemed to have been made by each Borrower; each covenant and undertaking on the part of a Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be deemed individually applicable with respect to each Borrower; and each event constituting a Default hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be determined with respect to each Borrower. A separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Borrower whether an action is brought against any other Borrower or whether any other Borrower is joined in any such action or actions. Each Borrower waives the right to require Administrative Agent to: (a) proceed against any other Borrower; (b) proceed against or exhaust any Collateral held from any other Borrower; or (c) pursue any other remedy in Administrative Agent’s power whatsoever. Any consent on the part of a Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be effective when provided by any Borrower, and Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any notice or consent given by any Borrower as being notice and consent given by all Borrowers hereunder and under each other Loan Document. In the event any obligation of a Borrower hereunder and under each other Loan Document is deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be an agreement by any Borrower to answer for the debt or default of another Borrower or as a hypothecation of property as security therefor, each Borrower represents, warrants and agrees that: (i) no representation has been made to it as to the creditworthiness of any other Borrower; (ii) it has established an adequate means of obtaining from each other Borrower, on a continuing basis, financial or other information pertaining to each other Borrower’s financial condition; (iii) it expressly waives diligence, demand, presentment, protest and notice of every kind and nature whatsoever, consents to the alteration or release by Administrative Agent (in any manner) of any Collateral now or hereafter held in connection with any obligations under any Loan Document, and consents that Administrative Agent and any Borrower may deal with each other in connection with said obligations or otherwise, including the voluntary grant of additional security for the obligations of any Borrower, or alter any contracts now or hereafter existing between them, in any manner whatsoever, including, without limitation, the renewal, extension, acceleration, changes in time for payment, and increases or decreases in any rate of interest or other amounts owing, all without in any way altering the liability of any Borrower, or affecting any security for such obligations. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default, Administrative Agent is hereby expressly given the right, at its option, to proceed in the enforcement of any Loan Document independently of any other remedy or security it may at any time hold in connection with such Loan Document and it shall not be necessary for Administrative Agent to proceed upon or against and/or exhaust any other security or remedy before proceeding to enforce its rights against any Borrower. Until the Loan and all other Debt or indebtedness under the Loan Documents have been paid in full, each Borrower further waives any right or subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, setoff or other recourse in respect of sums paid to Lender by any other Borrower.

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (as amended, restated, supplemented, extended or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) dated as of the date hereof by and among Borrowers, the other Grantors from time to time party thereto, Administrative Agent and the Lenders from time to time party thereto, each Grantor is required to have executed and delivered this Security Agreement encumbering substantially all of each Grantor’s tangible and intangible personal property assets in favor of Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of itself and the Lenders; and

 

WHEREAS, each Grantor has determined that it is in its best interest to execute this Security Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged) and intending to be legally bound hereby, each Grantor and Administrative Agent hereby agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE 1
SECURITY INTEREST, COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT AND PLEDGE

 

1.1 Grant of Security. To secure the prompt payment and performance in full when due of the Secured Obligations, each Grantor (as of the effective date of becoming a signatory hereto) hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of itself and the Lenders, a continuing security interest in such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to all of the following (collectively, the “Collateral”): (a) all Accounts; (b) all cash and currency; (c) all Chattel Paper; (d) those certain Commercial Tort Claims set forth on Schedule 2.10 hereto; (e) all Copyrights; (f) all Copyright Licenses; (g) all Deposit Accounts; (h) all Documents; (i) all Domain Names; (j) all Equipment; (k) all Fixtures; (1) all General Intangibles; (m) all Instruments; (n) all Inventory; (o) all Investment Property; (p) all Letter-of-Credit Rights; (q) all Other Intellectual Property; (r) all Patents; (s) all Patent Licenses; (t) all Pledged Equity and dividends and distributions thereon; (u) all Software; (v) all Supporting Obligations; (w) all Trademarks; (x) all Trademark Licenses; (y) all Goods and other personal property of any kind; and (z) all Accessions and all Proceeds of any and all of the foregoing, in each instance (whether or not expressly specified above), wherever located, and whether now existing, owned, leased or licensed or hereafter acquired, leased, licensed, arising, developed, generated, adopted or created for or by any Grantor, and howsoever any Grantor’s interest therein may arise or appear (whether by ownership, security interest, claim or otherwise).

 

 

 

 

1.2 Security for Secured Obligations. This security interest created hereby in the Collateral secures the payment and performance in full when due of (a) all Obligations, (b) all Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Guaranty) and (c) all costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender in enforcing and collecting the Obligations (collectively, the “Secured Obligations”).

 

1.3 Continuing Security Interest Assignment Termination. This Security Agreement creates a continuing security interest in the Collateral and will remain in full force and effect until terminated in accordance with the Loan Agreement. This Security Agreement is binding upon each Grantor and its successors, transferees and assignees, and (together with the rights and remedies of Administrative Agent hereunder) inures to the benefit of Administrative Agent and its permitted successors, transferees, participants and assignees. Upon any such termination, (a) all security interests arising under this Security Agreement automatically shall be released, discharged and terminated (without representation, warranty, recourse or liability of any kind by Administrative Agent) and (b) Administrative Agent (at Grantors’ request and sole expense) (i) will execute and deliver such UCC termination statements and other documentation and instruments (all in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent) as may be reasonably requested and provided to Administrative Agent to effect such releases and terminations, and (ii) will deliver to a Grantor or to another Person designated by a Grantor or, if required by applicable law, to another Person that Administrative Agent reasonably believes may be entitled thereto (without any representation, warranty or recourse of any kind whatsoever) all stock certificates, and instruments representing or evidencing Collateral being physically held by Administrative Agent hereunder.

 

1.4 Security Interest Absolute. All rights of Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the security interests granted to Administrative Agent hereunder, and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder, are absolute and unconditional , irrespective of the occurrence of any one or more of the following:

 

(a) Any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document; or

 

(b) The failure of Administrative Agent or any Lender or any holder of any Note:

 

(i) To assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise, or

 

(ii) To exercise any right or remedy against any other Grantor of, or any collateral securing, any obligations of any Borrower or any other Grantor owing to any Lender; or any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, any Secured Obligation; or

 

2

 

 

(c) Any other extension, increase, refinancing, restructuring, compromise or renewal of any Secured Obligation; or

 

(d) Any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any Secured Obligation for any reason, including any waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise; or

 

(e) Any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other modification of, or any consent to departure from, the terms of any Loan Document; or

 

(f) Any addition, exchange, release, surrender or nonperfection of any collateral (including the Collateral), or any amendment to or waiver or release of or addition to or consent to departure from any guaranty, for any Secured Obligation; or

 

(g) Any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any Grantor or its obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, any and all suretyship defenses.

 

Each Grantor hereby waives any right to or any claim of any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of any invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, any Secured Obligation.

 

1.5 Collateral Assignment of Contracts.

 

(a) Grant of Security Interest. Subject to Section 1.1, without limiting the generality thereof, each Grantor grants a security interest in and collaterally assigns to Administrative Agent all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to all of such Grantor’s contracts, licenses, leases and other agreements and all rights, interests, powers, privileges and other benefits thereunder (including the rights to receive all proceeds and payments under each such contract, license, lease and other agreement. This collateral assignment of each contract, license, lease and other agreement constitutes a fully perfected security interest and collateral assignment; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Grantor may exercise all rights and powers under and may receive all payments and enjoy all other benefits of each such contract, license, lease and other agreement, subject to the other terms and provisions of this Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

(b) Administrative Agent’s Right to Cure. Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to cure or remedy any breach or default on the part of any Grantor under any contract, license, lease or other agreement included in the Collateral. The exercise by Administrative Agent of any of its rights hereunder will not release any Grantor from any of its duties or obligations under any such contracts, licenses, leases or other agreements included in the Collateral. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any obligation or liability under any such contracts, licenses, leases or other agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this Security Agreement, nor is Administrative Agent or any Lender obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

 

3

 

 

1.6 Collateral Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Administrative Agent’s interest in the Collateral is as a security interest and not as an absolute assignment.

 

ARTICLE 2
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

Each Grantor hereby represents and warrants to Administrative Agent, as of the Closing Date and as of the Settlement Date for each Advance, as set forth in this Article 2.

 

2.1 Location of Collateral. Schedule 2.1 identifies (a) all of the locations at which the Collateral is located (other than (i) Inventory or Equipment in transit to any location of a Grantor or (ii) in the possession of employees of a Grantor and used on a remote basis in the ordinary course of business) and (b) the location of the chief executive office of each Grantor.

 

2.2 Ownership. Grantors own or have the right to possess and use the Collateral and full corporate, partnership or limited liability company authority, as applicable, to grant a security interest in the Collateral. There exists no “adverse claim” within the meaning of Section 8-102 of the UCC with respect to the Pledged Equity of any Grantor.

 

2.3 Government Contracts. Except as identified on Schedule 2.3, no Grantor is a party to any federal, state or local government contract (either domestic or foreign).

 

2.4 Negotiable Documents, Instruments, Certificated Securities and Chattel Paper. Contemporaneously with the execution hereof, each Grantor has delivered to Administrative Agent possession of all originals of all certificated Pledged Equity, Instruments, Documents or Tangible Chattel Paper (other than checks received in the ordinary course of business) owned or held by such Grantor on the date hereof (duly endorsed in blank, if requested by Administrative Agent); provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Grantor shall deliver to Administrative Agent all originals of all certificated Pledged Equity, representing the equity interests in any Subsidiary that is a corporation, owned or held by such Grantor on or prior to the date that is thirty (30) days after the date hereof (duly endorsed in blank).

 

2.5 Intellectual Property Collateral. With respect to each item of Intellectual Property Collateral:

 

(a) Schedule 2.5(a) sets forth a complete and accurate list of all (i) applications and registrations for Intellectual Property Collateral owned by any Grantor, (ii), all Copyright Licenses (including customized applications and systems integration software licenses, but excluding “off-the-shelf’ mass market, non-customized software licenses), Patent Licenses, and Trademark Licenses and (iii) all Software (including customized applications and systems integration software licenses, but excluding “off-the-shelf’ mass market, non-customized software licenses).

 

(b) To each Grantor’s knowledge, the Intellectual Property Collateral is subsisting, valid and enforceable; and the Intellectual Property Collateral owned by such Grantor has not been adjudged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part.

 

4

 

 

(c) To each Grantor’s knowledge, no claim has been made that the use of any Intellectual Property Collateral does or may violate the rights of any Person.

 

(d) Each Grantor has performed all acts and has paid all required fees and taxes to maintain the Intellectual Property Collateral owned by any grantor in full force and effect in the jurisdictions in which it engages in commerce and it deems it reasonably necessary, as applicable, except where such fees and taxes are being contested in good faith with diligent prosecution.

 

(e) Each Grantor owns, or is entitled to use by license or otherwise, all Intellectual Property Collateral necessary for or used in the conduct of its business. To the extent any such Intellectual Property Collateral was developed, authored, conceived or created, in whole or in part, for or on behalf of any Grantor by any Person (except in the case of a Copyright, by an employee of any Grantor acting within the scope of such employee’s employment), then such Grantor has entered into a written agreement with such Person in which such Person has assigned all right, title and interest in and to such Intellectual Property Collateral to such Grantor.

 

(f) To each Grantor’s knowledge, neither the operation of its business nor any slogan or other advertising device, product, process, method, substance, part or other material now employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by any Grantor violates, infringes or misappropriates any rights held by any other Person. To each Grantor’s knowledge, no claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or threatened.

 

2.6 Pledged Equity. With respect to any Pledged Equity constituting Collateral, which is set forth on Schedule 2.6, all of such Pledged Equity is validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable and, except as set forth on Schedule 2.6, constitutes all of the issued and outstanding shares or interests (and other rights) of equity ownership of each Subsidiary owned by any Grantor.

 

2.7 Valid and Perfected Security Interest. This Security Agreement creates a valid security interest in the Collateral and proceeds thereof securing the payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations. Upon (a) the filing of UCC financing statements (i) naming each Grantor as “debtor”, (ii) naming Administrative Agent as “secured party” and (iii) describing the Collateral, in the state of formation of such Grantor, (b) in the case of the Pledged Equity consisting of certificated Securities or evidenced by Instruments, in addition to filing of such UCC financing statements, delivery of the certificates representing such certificated Securities and delivery of such Instruments to Administrative Agent (and in the case of Pledged Equity issued by a foreign issuer, any actions required under foreign law to perfect a security interest in such Pledged Equity), in each case duly endorsed or accompanied by duly executed instruments of assignment or transfer in blank, (c) in the case of Collateral consisting of the Intellectual Property Collateral, in addition to the filing of such UCC financing statements, the recordation of a grant of security interest with the PTO, the United States Copyright Office or any other Official Body, as applicable, (d) in the case of Equipment that is covered by a certificate of title, the filing with the registrar of motor vehicles or other appropriate authority in the applicable jurisdiction of an application requesting the notation of the security interest created hereunder on such certificate of title, and (e) in the case of Collateral consisting of a Deposit Account or Securities Account or held in a Securities Account, which is set forth on Schedule 2.7, the execution and delivery by the applicable Grantor, the applicable Bank or Securities Intermediary and Administrative Agent of an agreement granting control to Administrative Agent over such Collateral, the security interests in the Collateral granted to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders will constitute perfected security interests therein prior to all other Liens (except for Permitted Liens).

 

5

No authorization, approval or other action by (and no notice to or filing with) any Official Body or other Person is required either (a) for the grant by any Grantor of the security interest granted hereby, or (b) for the execution, delivery and performance of this Security Agreement by any Grantor, or (c) for the perfection by Administrative Agent of its rights and interests hereunder (other than as set forth in Section 2.7 hereof), or (d) for the exercise by Administrative Agent of its rights and remedies hereunder.

 

2.9 Type of Collateral. None of the Collateral consists of, or is the Proceeds of, As-Extracted Collateral, Consumer Goods, Farm Products, Manufactured Homes or standing timber.

 

2.10 Commercial Tort Claims. As of the date hereof, no Grantor has any Commercial Tort Claims other than as set forth on Schedule 2.10 hereto.

 

2.11 Partnership and Limited Liability Company Interests.

2.12 Title. The Collateral is free and clear of all Liens except (a) Liens for taxes not yet due or which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings; (b) non-consensual Liens arising by operation of law, arising in the ordinary course of business, and for amounts which are not overdue for a period of more than thirty 30 days or that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings; and (c) those Liens listed on Schedule 2.12 (collectively, the “Permitted Liens”).

Each Grantor represents and warrants that none of the actions disclosed on Schedule 2.13 are reasonably likely to result in a material adverse effect on its financial condition or the ability of such Grantor to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

ARTICLE 3
COVENANTS

 

Each Grantor covenants and agrees that, so long as this Security Agreement remains effective, each Grantor will comply with the covenants set forth in this Article 3, unless Administrative Agent otherwise consents in writing.

 

3.1 Pledged Equity.

 

(a) Powers and Appointments. Each Grantor will promptly deliver to Administrative Agent all such certificates, powers, appointments, instruments and similar documents (satisfactory in form and substance to Administrative Agent) constituting Pledged Equity. Prior to delivery to Administrative Agent, all such certificates constituting Pledged Equity shall be held in trust by such Grantor for the benefit of Administrative Agent pursuant hereto. From time to time at Administrative Agent’s request after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Grantor will promptly transfer any Pledged Equity or other shares of capital stock or ownership interests constituting Collateral into the name of any nominee designated by Administrative Agent.

 

6

 

 

(b) Pledged Equity. Each Grantor will warrant and defend the right and title herein granted to Administrative Agent in and to the Pledged Equity (and all right, title, and interest represented by the Pledged Equity) against the claims and demands of all Persons.

 

(c) Voting Rights.

 

(i) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (A) each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Equity or any part thereof for any purpose not prohibited by the terms of this Security Agreement or the Loan Agreement; provided, no Grantor shall exercise or refrain from exercising any such right if Administrative Agent shall have notified such Grantor that, in Administrative Agent’s judgment, such action would infringe on the interests of the Administrative Agent in the Collateral in a material manner and such Grantor shall promptly notify Administrative Agent in writing of material infringements detected, and (B) each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, other distributions, principal and interest paid in respect of the Pledged Equity.

 

(ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (A) upon written notice from Administrative Agent to any Grantor, all rights of such Grantor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Administrative Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights; (B) all rights of such Grantor to receive the dividends and other distributions which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant hereto shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Administrative Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to receive and hold as Collateral such dividends and other distributions; and (C) all dividends and other distributions which are received by such Grantor contrary to the provisions of clause (B) above shall be received in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements as determined by Administrative Agent).

(c) Each Grantor will promptly notify Administrative Agent if such Grantor believes (or has reason to believe) that (i) any application to register or registration relating to any Intellectual Property Collateral may become abandoned, dedicated to the public, placed in the public domain, invalid or unenforceable, or (ii) there has been or will be an adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or any determination or development in, any proceeding in the PTO, the United States Copyright Office or any other Official Body) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any Intellectual Property Collateral, its right to register the same, or its right to use, keep, maintain and enforce the same.

9

 

 

(j) Each Grantor, on a continuing basis, will ensure that it has appropriate measures in place to ensure that all material that may constitute Intellectual Property Collateral created by or on behalf of such Grantor has been appropriately assigned by any developer to such Grantor.

 

3.3 As to Customer and Material Business Records and Computer Software, and Trade Secrets. Each Grantor will utilize standard industry precautions to safeguard the utility, value and confidentiality of all such records, materials and information covered by this Section.

 

3.4 Issuance or Acquisition of Equity Interests. No Grantor shall, without executing and delivering, or causing to be executed and delivered, to Administrative Agent such agreements, documents and instruments as Administrative Agent may reasonably require, issue or acquire any Pledged Equity consisting of an interest in a partnership or a limited liability company that (i) is dealt in or traded on a securities exchange or in a securities market, (ii) by its terms expressly provides that it is a Security governed by Article 8 of the UCC, (iii) is an investment company security, (iv) is held in a Securities Account or (v) constitutes a Security or a Financial Asset.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor shall:

 

(a) If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall be or become evidenced by any Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper, or if any Property constituting Collateral shall be stored or shipped subject to a Document, ensure that such Instrument, Tangible Chattel Paper or Document is either in the possession of such Grantor at all times or, if requested by Administrative Agent to perfect its security interest in such Collateral, is delivered to Administrative Agent duly endorsed in a manner satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Such Grantor shall ensure that any Collateral consisting of Tangible Chattel Paper is marked with a legend acceptable to Administrative Agent indicating Administrative Agent’s security interest in such Tangible Chattel Paper.

 

(b) Execute and deliver all agreements, assignments, instruments or other documents as reasonably requested by Administrative Agent for the purpose of obtaining and maintaining control with respect to any Collateral consisting of (i) Deposit Accounts, (ii) Investment Property, (iii) Letter-of-Credit Rights and (iv) Electronic Chattel Paper.

10

 

 

(d) To the extent that any Grantor shall, now or at any time hereafter, hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim, such Grantor shall immediately notify Administrative Agent in a writing signed by such Grantor of the particulars thereof and grant to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and Administrative Agent, in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Security Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

 

(e) Will execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices as may be necessary (or as Administrative Agent may reasonably request) in order to perfect the security interests, collateral assignments, pledges and other rights granted or purported to be granted to Administrative Agent hereby.

 

(f) Will furnish to Administrative Agent (from time to time at Administrative Agent’s request) statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as Administrative Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

 

(g) Will notify Administrative Agent in writing immediately upon such Grantor becoming a party to any federal, state or local government contract (either domestic or foreign), and, upon the request of Administrative Agent, promptly take all actions required under the Federal Assignment of Claims Act or any similar state, local or foreign laws as Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

 

3.6 Joinder. Each Grantor added after the date hereof shall execute the joinder in the form attached hereto as Schedule 3.6, whereupon such party shall be deemed to be a party to, and shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of, this Agreement as if it were a Grantor on the date of this Agreement.

 

3.7 Liens. Each grantor covenants and agrees not to create, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any of its Property or assets, whether now owned or hereinafter acquired other than Permitted Liens.

With respect to the foregoing and the grant of the security interest hereunder, each Grantor hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor where permitted by law. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.

ARTICLE 4
LENDER

 

4.1 Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as such Grantor’s attorney-in-fact upon an Event of Default, with full authority in the name, place and stead of such Grantor or otherwise, from time to time in Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement. This authority includes the power, only upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

 

(a) To ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, restructure, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral including proceeding against any of the Collateral; and/or

 

(b) To notify the parties obligated on any of the Collateral to make payment to Administrative Agent of any amount due or to become due in connection therewith; and/or

 

(c) To receive, endorse, and collect any drafts, checks or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (a) of this Section 4.1; and/or

 

(d) To file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Grantor with respect to any of the Collateral; and/or

 

(e) To execute (in the name, place and stead of any Grantor) endorsements, assignments, powers and other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Collateral; and/or

 

(f) To exercise all rights with respect to any Pledged Collateral of such Grantor hereunder; and/or

 

(g) To perform any and all of the affirmative obligations and covenants of such Grantor hereunder (with notice thereof to be provided to such Grantor by Administrative Agent within a reasonable time thereafter).

 

Each Grantor hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that the power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 4.1 is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, but that it will terminate upon the termination of this Security Agreement pursuant to Section 1.3.

 

4.2 Administrative Agent May Perform. From time to time, Administrative Agent (at its option) may perform (or may cause the performance of) any act which any Grantor agrees hereunder to perform and which such Grantor fails to perform after being requested in writing so to perform (it being understood that no such request need be given during the continuance of an Event of Default), and Administrative Agent from time to time (at its option) may also take any other action (or may cause the performance of any action) which Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or of its security interest therein or collateral assignments or pledges thereof. The costs and expenses of Administrative Agent incurred in connection with any such performance will be payable by Grantors (jointly and severally) and shall be Secured Obligations.

 

12

 

 

4.3 Administrative Agent Has No Duty. The rights and powers conferred upon Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s interest in the Collateral and do not impose any duty on Administrative Agent to exercise any such rights or powers. Except for reasonable care of any Collateral in Administrative Agent’s possession in accordance with Section 4.4 and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Administrative Agent has no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.

 

4.4 Reasonable Care. Administrative Agent is required to exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession; provided, however, Administrative Agent will be deemed to have exercised such reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral if Administrative Agent takes such action for that purpose as any Grantor reasonably requests in writing at times other than after the occurrence or during the continuance of a Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure or refusal by Administrative Agent at any time to comply with any such request by any Grantor will not in itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care.

 

ARTICLE 5
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

 

5.1 Certain Remedies. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing:

 

(a) In addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein (including under Article 4) or otherwise available to Administrative Agent or any Lender (including under the other Loan Documents and/or applicable law), Administrative Agent may also exercise in respect of the Collateral all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral). Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Administrative Agent will have the immediate right to enforce and realize upon any and all collateral security granted under the Loan Documents (including the Collateral hereunder) in any manner or order that Administrative Agent deems expedient without regard to any equitable principles of marshalling or otherwise. All rights and remedies available to Administrative Agent or any Lender are to be considered cumulative in nature.

 

(b) Without notice, except as expressly specified herein or required by applicable law, Administrative Agent may also sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable. To the extent notice of sale is required by law, each Grantor agrees that prior notice to a Grantor of at least ten (10) calendar days indicating the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale (without further notice) may be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

 

13

 

 

(c) Administrative Agent may require Grantors to, and each Grantor hereby agrees (at its expense) that it will, forthwith assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Administrative Agent and make such Collateral available to Administrative Agent at a place designated by Administrative Agent that is reasonably convenient to both Administrative Agent and Grantors.

 

(d) Unless Administrative Agent otherwise consents, each Grantor will remit to Administrative Agent all cash proceeds received in respect of any sale of, or collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral. All cash proceeds received by Administrative Agent from any Grantor or otherwise in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral (in the discretion of Administrative Agent) may be held by Administrative Agent as additional Collateral for the Secured Obligations, and/or then or at any time thereafter may be applied in whole or in part by Administrative Agent against all or any part of the Secured Obligations in an order consistent with the designated application of payments provided for in the Loan Agreement. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by Administrative Agent and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured Obligations will be paid over to a Grantor or to whomsoever Administrative Agent reasonably believes may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

 

(e) To the extent any of the Collateral represents an interest in a partnership, a limited liability company or other unincorporated enterprise, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to Administrative Agent or any Lender under the Loan Documents or applicable law, Administrative Agent (at its option but with notice to the relevant Grantor) may also exercise all rights and privileges of the holder of such interest under the agreements governing such Collateral and the Organizational Documents for the related organization or may instruct such Grantor how to exercise such rights and privileges (with which instructions each Grantor hereby agrees to comply). Each Grantor, in addition, covenants and agrees (at Administrative Agent’s request) to amend (and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause others to amend) any of the Organizational Documents for such organization in order to authorize Administrative Agent to so exercise any such rights and privileges associated with such Collateral (including voting rights and the rights to participate in management decisions). The rights of Administrative Agent under this Section 5.1(e) may be transferred to and exercised by any subsequent acquiror or transferee of the Collateral pursuant to any sale of or foreclosure on such Collateral. Each Grantor hereby agrees that the rights of Administrative Agent and each Lender (or any subsequent acquiror or transferee of the Collateral) under this Section 5.1(e) may be enforced by specific performance or otherwise.

 

5.2 Special Securities-Related Remedies—Compliance with Restrictions. Each Grantor agrees that, in any sale of any of the Pledged Equity, Administrative Agent is authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with the type of such sale pursued as Administrative Agent may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable law (including compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any Official Body. Each Grantor further agrees that such compliance will not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor will Administrative Agent or any Lender be liable or accountable to any Grantor for any discount allowed by reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold at foreclosure or otherwise in compliance with any such limitation or restriction or by reason of the fact that such Pledged Equity may represent a minority interest in any Grantor.

 

14

 

 

5.3 Special IP-Related Remedies (License of Intellectual Property Collateral). Each Grantor hereby grants Administrative Agent a royalty-free, non-exclusive, worldwide, irrevocable license (the “Remedies License”) under all present and future Intellectual Property Collateral of such Grantor to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, import, rent, lease, reproduce, display, distribute, perform, prepare derivative works (including the right to sub-license such rights to another Person), in any and all media now known or hereafter developed and in all channels of distribution, without restriction, from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and delivery of notice thereof by Administrative Agent (unless such Event of Default is under Section 7.1(e) of the Loan Agreement, in which case no such notification shall be required) in connection with the maintenance, preservation, preparation, sale, disposition, collection, foreclosure, or other realization of, upon, or with respect to the Collateral or payment of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents, with the use of registered Trademarks subject to a commercially appropriate standard of quality. The Remedies License shall remain in full force and effect until this Security Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 1.3 (but any sub-license or transfer of the Remedies License prior to the termination of the Remedies License shall survive such termination of the Remedies License unless otherwise provided on such sub-license or transfer document). The rights of Administrative Agent under the Remedies License are assignable by Administrative Agent (without the consent of such Grantor) in connection with (a) any sale or other disposition of Collateral in accordance with the Loan Documents to the extent necessary to permit the purchaser of such Collateral to have continuing and royalty free, worldwide rights with respect to the items of Collateral sold to such purchaser or (b) any assignment or other transfer by Administrative Agent of all or any part of its rights under and in accordance with the Loan Documents. Upon or at any time after the occurrence of any Event of Default, each Grantor will deliver (or cause to be delivered) to Administrative Agent (at Administrative Agent’s request but at such Grantor’s expense) a copy of all such Intellectual Property Collateral and all related other Collateral in a form requested by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent’s rights, as a licensee under this Section 5.3, constitute a separately enforceable contract from the balance of this Security Agreement.

 

5.4 Retention of Collateral. In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, Administrative Agent may, in compliance with Sections 9-620 and 9-621 of the UCC or otherwise complying with the requirements of applicable law of the relevant jurisdiction, accept or retain the Collateral in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations. Unless and until Administrative Agent shall have provided such notices, however, Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have retained any Collateral in satisfaction of any Secured Obligations for any reason.

 

5.5 Deficiency. In the event that the proceeds of any sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Administrative Agent or the Lenders are legally entitled, the Grantors shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon as provided in the Loan Agreement, together with the costs of collection and the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel. Any surplus remaining after the full payment and satisfaction of the Secured Obligations shall be returned to the Grantors or to whomsoever a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine to be entitled thereto.

 

15

 

 

5.6 Administrative Agent’s Rights Upon Occurrence of a Liquidation Event.

 

(a) Right to Certain Payments and Distributions. Upon the occurrence of any Liquidation Event, any payment or distribution of any kind or character (whether in cash, securities or other property) that but for this Security Agreement would be payable or deliverable to a Grantor must instead be paid or delivered directly to Administrative Agent for application to the Secured Obligations.

 

(b) Non-Cash Payments and Distributions. Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (a) of this Section 5.6, if Administrative Agent receives delivery of any such payment or distribution in connection with a Liquidation Event in a form other than cash, then Administrative Agent may hold such Property as additional Collateral for the Secured Obligations, and no Grantor of the Secured Obligations will be entitled to a credit with respect to the Secured Obligations, nor will the Secured Obligations otherwise be adjusted in any respect, until such time as Administrative Agent (in its sole and absolute discretion) has sold, discounted or otherwise liquidated such distribution and then (subject to the terms of Section 7.6), such credit or adjustment to the Secured Obligations will be limited only to the net cash proceeds realized therefrom after the payment of all costs and expenses associated with such sale or liquidation.

 

(c) Collection of Payments and Distributions. In addition to any rights otherwise permitted under the Loan Documents or applicable law, each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers Administrative Agent, upon the occurrence of any Liquidation Event, to file and/or vote claims and take such other proceedings, in each instance in Administrative Agent’s own name or in the name of a Grantor, or otherwise, all as Administrative Agent may reasonably deem necessary for the enforcement of this Security Agreement. Each Grantor further agrees duly and promptly to (i) take such action as may be requested by Administrative Agent to assist in the collection and/or compromise of any amounts owed to any Grantor in respect of a Liquidation Event, (ii) file appropriate proofs of claim in respect of such amounts, (iii) execute and deliver to Administrative Agent on demand such powers of attorney, proofs of claim, assignments of claim or other instruments as may be requested by Administrative Agent to enable Administrative Agent to enforce any and all claims upon or with respect to such amounts, and (iv) collect, compromise and receive any and all payments or distributions which may be payable or deliverable at any time upon or with respect to such amounts.

 

5.7 Delivery of Payments and Distributions. If any Grantor receives any payment, distribution or any other funds or property in contravention of the provisions hereof or any other Loan Document, then such Grantor must immediately deliver such payment, distribution or other funds or property (or proceeds thereof) to Administrative Agent in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment without recourse of such Grantor where necessary) for application to the Secured Obligations (or, at Administrative Agent’s option, held as additional Collateral therefor), whether or not then due or mature in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement. Until such funds or property are delivered to Administrative Agent, such Grantor must hold such payment, distribution or other funds or property (or proceeds thereof) (a) in trust for the benefit of and as property of Administrative Agent and (b) separate from (i.e., not commingled with) its other assets. If a Grantor fails or refuses to make any such endorsement or assignment, then Administrative Agent (or any of its officers or employees) is hereby irrevocably authorized by such Grantor to make the endorsement and/or assignment.

 

16

 

 

5.8 Cooperation and Assistance. Each Grantor agrees (during the existence of a Default or an Event of Default) to take any actions that Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to enable Administrative Agent and each Lender to receive the full rights and benefits granted to Administrative Agent and each Lender by the Loan Documents. Each Grantor further agrees that each Grantor will assist and cooperate with Administrative Agent (and will use its best efforts to cause others to assist and cooperate with Administrative Agent) to ensure that each Grantor continues (a) to operate in the normal course of business, (b) to fulfill all of its legal, regulatory and contractual obligations and (c) to otherwise be properly and professionally managed. At Administrative Agent’s request and the expense of Grantors (jointly and severally), at any time during the existence of an Event of Default, such assistance and cooperation may include the employment of (and, to the maximum extent not prohibited by the rules, regulations and orders of any Official Body with jurisdiction, the delegation of appropriate management authority to) one or more qualified and independent consultants and professional managers acceptable to Administrative Agent to assist in the interim operations of Grantors; all of which each Grantor hereby agrees not to challenge.

 

5.9 Standards for Exercising Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Administrative Agent and/or Lender to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Administrative Agent and/or Lender (a) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Administrative Agent and/or Lender to prepare the Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as such Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Administrative Agent and/or Lender against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Administrative Agent and/or Lender a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (1) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent and/or Lender, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Lender in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent and/or Lender would not be commercially unreasonable in the Administrative Agent’s and/or Lender’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent and/or Lender shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any rights to the Grantors or to impose any duties on the Administrative Agent and/or Lender that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section.

(c) Fees, Costs and Expenses. The Merchant Companies shall pay or cause to be paid to FPS (or its designee) or a Vendor which is a counterparty to the applicable Merchant Agreement(s) the Processing Fees (as defined in Schedule A) and other amounts set forth on Schedule A, which is incorporated herein by reference. All such amounts are exclusive of any other amounts owed by Merchant or any of its affiliates to FPS, FVP or any of their respective affiliates, or any other amounts owing from time to time under the Loan Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Lenders of the New Loans (as defined in the Loan Agreement) shall be entitled to their respective portions of the Hospitality Processing Fees only.

 

(d) Exclusive Services. FPS (or a Vendor on its behalf) shall be the exclusive provider of services similar to the FPS Services during the Term of this Agreement to each Merchant Company so long as such Merchant Company is approved by FPS pursuant to Section 1(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or otherwise, during the Term of this Agreement, no Merchant Company, or its principals, subsidiaries or affiliates shall (i) utilize the services of any bank, corporation, entity, or person other than FPS (or a Vendor on its behalf) to provide services similar to the FPS Services contemplated in this Agreement or (ii) enter into any agreement with any other bank, corporation, entity, or person other than FPS (or a Vendor on its behalf) if such Merchant Company has been approved by FPS and/or its Vendors for services similar to the FPS Services contemplated in this Agreement.

 

2. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. The Parties’ relationship shall be that of independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create a partnership, agency, joint venture, or employer-employee relationship. No Party is an agent of the other, and no Party is authorized to make any representations or commitments on behalf of the other. The Merchant is solely responsible for all taxes relating to its performance of services and receipt of payments hereunder on behalf of itself and each other Merchant Company.

 

 

 

 

3. CONFIDENTIALITY.

 

(a) The Party receiving (each, a “Receiving Party”) Confidential Information (as defined below) from the disclosing Party (each, a “Disclosing Party”) will not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose not expressly permitted by this Agreement, and will disclose the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party only to the employees or contractors of the Receiving Party who have a need to know such Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement and who are under a duty of confidentiality no less restrictive than the Receiving Party’s duty hereunder (the “Representatives”). The Receiving Party will protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner as the Receiving Party protects its own confidential or proprietary information of a similar nature and with no less than reasonable care. “Confidential Information” means any financial, business or technical information of the Disclosing Party, whether written or verbal, including any notes, summaries, reports, analyses, studies or other material derived or prepared by the Receiving Party or its Representatives in whole or in part from such information in whatever form maintained, including, but not limited to, software, documentation, algorithms, devices, compilations of information, techniques or processes, inventions, products and their pricing, manufacturing processes, designs, artwork, information related to suppliers, information about business relationships between the Parties and third parties, the terms of this Agreement, trade secrets, business and financial information, source code, machine and operator instructions, business methods, procedures, know-how and other information of every kind that relates to the business of any Party or its affiliates and is marked or identified as confidential, or disclosed in circumstances that would lead a reasonable person to believe such information is confidential. Confidential Information shall not include information: (i) already lawfully known to the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party; (ii) disclosed to the Receiving Party by a third-party who had the right to make such disclosure without any confidentiality restrictions; (iii) generally available to the public, through no fault of the Receiving Party; or (iv) independently developed by the Receiving Party without access to, or use of, the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. In addition, the Receiving Party will be allowed to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent that such disclosure is: (A) approved in writing by the Disclosing Party; (B) necessary for the Receiving Party to enforce its rights under this Agreement in connection with a legal proceeding; or (C) required by law or by the order of a court or similar judicial or administrative body, provided that the Receiving Party notifies the Disclosing Party sufficiently in advance of the required disclosure.

 

(b) Each Party agrees that monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement by the breaching party or its Representatives, including improper disclosure or use of Confidential Information, and that, in addition to all other remedies, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to appropriate injunctive or equitable relief, which may include specific performance, without waiving any other right or remedy and without the need to post any bond, and that the Receiving Party shall not resist an application for such relief on the ground that the Disclosing Party has an adequate remedy at law. The Parties’ obligation under this Section 3 shall survive termination of this Agreement and shall continue in effect in accordance with their terms.

 

4. REPRESENTATIONS; WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS. Each Party represents, warrants, and covenants to each other Party (as applicable) that:

(c) Valid Legal Obligation. The Agreement constitutes such Party’s legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with the respective terms hereof except as such enforcement may be limited by (a) any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar law affecting creditors’ rights generally, or (b) the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

 

 

 

 

(d) Non-contravention. There are no actions or proceedings pending or threatened against such Party before any court or administrative agency that are likely to have a material adverse effect on such Party’s condition or the results of its operations or its ability to perform its obligations under the Agreement.

 

(e) No Third Party Approval. No authorization, approval or license or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental entity or any other third-party is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by such Party of the Agreement or for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(f) Compliance with Laws; Record Keeping. Each Party agrees to abide by all applicable laws, regulations, and professional standards in carrying out its duties under this Agreement.

(h) Merchant Processing Transition and Fees. Prior to the Effective Date (or, solely with respect to Rush Soccer, the Rush Soccer Effective Date), each Merchant Company shall (i) submit the Merchant Agreements described in Section 1(b) hereof for approval by FPS and its Vendors and prior to the closing of the Financing (or, solely with respect to Rush Soccer, the Rush Soccer Effective Date), all such Merchant Agreements must be approved by FPS and its Vendors and (ii) transition its point of sale system, platform and gateway (as necessary) so that FPS is the exclusive merchant processor for the Merchant Companies as set forth in this Agreement. If such transition is not completed prior to the Effective Date (or, solely with respect to the Rush Soccer, the date on which FPS and Rush Soccer shall have completed such transition, with each party acting diligently and in good faith to consummate the same, but in no event later than the one (1) year anniversary of the Rush Soccer Effective Date), for each Merchant, the Merchant will (i) provide FPS with weekly reports from each current merchant processor and/or the Merchant’s website, showing gross processing volume from the Merchant Companies and (ii) pay FPS a processing commitment fee in an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the gross processing volume of transactions of the Merchant Companies that are not utilizing FPS as their exclusive merchant processor until such transition is completed, which fees shall be due and payable to FPS on or prior to the fifth (5th) day of each calendar month attributable to the prior calendar month, beginning with the first calendar month following the Effective Date (or, solely with respect to Rush Soccer, the one (1) year anniversary of the Effective Date).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Hospitality may opt to accrue, and not pay in cash, any Revenue Share payable pursuant to Section 2(a); provided, however, that Hospitality shall pay in cash any accrued Revenue Share deferred (in whole or in part) under this Section 2(b) on or prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Revenue Share Term and (ii) any date on which Hospitality shall make any Restricted Payment (as defined in that certain Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among Altitude, Hospitality, the other Loan Parties (as defined therein) party thereto, FVP and the Lenders (as defined therein) party thereto (the “Loan Agreement”)) pursuant to clause (a), (b) or (c) of the definition thereof to Altitude. Any Revenue Share accrued but not paid in cash in accordance with this Section 2(b) due to a voluntary deferral by Hospitality (x) shall be carried forward to the next scheduled payment date (on which date, for the avoidance of doubt, Hospitality may opt to further accrue any Revenue Share payable thereon pursuant to this Section 2(b)) and (y) shall not accrue interest (other than as set forth in Section 2(c) below).

 

(c) If Hospitality fails to pay any amounts to FVP when due in cash under Section 2(b) above (after giving effect to any voluntary deferral by Hospitality pursuant thereto), then, without limiting FVP’s other available remedies, Hospitality shall pay FVP a monthly interest charge at the rate of five percent (5%) of such overdue amounts, or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law, whichever is less, and shall reimburse FVP for all costs and expenses incurred in collecting such unpaid amounts, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

 

3. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence upon the Effective Date and shall expire on the expiration of the Revenue Share Term; provided that, following the third anniversary of the Effective Date, the Company shall have the option, on 10 business days’ prior written notice, to terminate this Agreement upon the payment to FVP in immediately available funds of an amount equal to $2,500,000, plus the amount of all Revenue Share payments accrued through the proposed termination date (the “Early Termination Option”).

 

4. Covenants.

In addition, the Receiving Party will be allowed to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent that such disclosure is: (A) approved in writing by the Disclosing Party; (B) necessary for the Receiving Party to enforce its rights under this Agreement in connection with a legal proceeding; or (C) required by law or by the order of a court or similar judicial or administrative body, provided that the Receiving Party notifies the Disclosing Party sufficiently in advance of the required disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties consent to disclosure of this Agreement and the Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement) with the Securities and Exchange Commission as required by law.

 

Each party agrees that monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement by the breaching party or its Representatives, including improper disclosure or use of Confidential Information, and that, in addition to all other remedies, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to appropriate injunctive or equitable relief, which may include specific performance, without waiving any other right or remedy and without the need to post any bond, and that the Receiving Party shall not resist an application for such relief on the ground that the Disclosing Party has an adequate remedy at law.

THREE-PARTY AGREEMENT

 

This Three-Party Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of September 1, 2022, by and among FVP SERVICING, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as administrative agent for each of the Lenders (as defined in the Loan Agreement (defined below)) (together with its successors and/or assigns, “Feenix”); ALTITUDE HOSPITALITY, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Franchisee”); and TMH Worldwide, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Franchisor” or “Company”). Feenix, Franchisee, and Franchisor each is referred to as a “Party” and collectively are referred to as the “Parties.”

 

RECITALS

 

A. The Membership Agreement. Franchisee and Franchisor entered into that certain membership agreement, dated                   , 20    (the “Franchise Agreement”), related to a guest lodging facility located at 4500 SE Pine Valley Street, Port St. Lucie, Florida 34952, designated as Unit #57258¬21761-02 (the “Facility”). The Franchise Agreement and certain ancillary agreements related to the Franchise Agreement collectively are referred to as the “Primary Agreements.” Pursuant to the Primary Agreements, Franchisee operates the Facility as a Trademark Collection® by Wyndham franchised location. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings given to them in the Franchise Agreement.

 

B. The Loan Agreement. Feenix has engaged, or is about to engage, in a loan transaction with Franchisee pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Amended and Restated Loan Agreement made among Altitude International holdings, Inc., a New York corporation and the sole member of Lessee (“Sole Member”), Lessee and Feenix (the “Loan Agreement”), which is secured by, among other things, a pledge of 100% of the membership interests in Lessee pursuant to that certain Pledge and Security Agreement made by Sole Member and Lessee in favor of Feenix (the “Pledge”). Feenix desires to be granted certain rights in respect of the Franchise Agreement. Franchisee has requested that Company grant such rights to Feenix. Company will grant such rights subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the undertakings by Feenix and Franchisee set forth below.

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the terms, conditions, representations, promises, covenants, and consideration set forth below, the sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged as good, valuable, and adequate consideration, and intending to be legally bound, the Parties agree as follows:

 

1. Status of Primary Agreements and Loan Documents.

 

1.1. Company and Franchisee represent that the Primary Agreements are in full force and effect and there are no uncured notices of default issued by Company or Franchisee under the Primary Agreements as of the date of this Agreement.

 

1.2. This Agreement is not intended to be, nor shall it be construed to create, a novation, accord and satisfaction, or compromise of the obligations of Franchisee under the Primary Agreements or any other obligation of Franchisee or any Guaranty to Company. Franchisee agrees that the terms of the Franchise Agreement shall be strictly adhered to on and after the date of this Agreement.

 

1.3. Feenix and Franchisee represent that the Loan Agreement and the Pledge are each in full force and effect and there are no defaults on the part of Franchisee, notices to cure, or other facts giving rise, on the part of Feenix, to a right to foreclose under the Pledge. Feenix consents to Franchisee’s execution, delivery and performance of the Franchise Agreement. No further consent from Feenix is necessary for Franchisee to enter into and perform its obligations under the Franchise Agreement. Franchisee may improve the Facility initially and from time to time in order to comply with the Franchise Agreement. In the event of any conflict between obligations imposed by the Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and the Franchise Agreement, the more stringent performance by Franchisee will be required.

 

 

 

 

2. Company Consent; No Representations or Warranties.

 

2.1. Unless and until Feenix notifies Company in writing that it has exercised its rights to assume, directly or indirectly, ownership and/or control of Lessee under the Pledge, and that it has assumed the benefits and obligations of the Primary Agreements (and without limiting Feenix’s obligations under Section 4 of this Agreement), Company may rely on Franchisee’s authority to act on its own behalf on all matters relating to the Primary Agreements and the franchise relationship between Company and Franchisee.

 

2.2. Company has not provided, and in entering into this Agreement is not providing, any representation, endorsement, or recommendation to or about any other Party; about any representation that either Feenix or Franchisee may have made to the other; or otherwise pertaining to the Loan Documents.

 

2.3. This Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of or consent by Franchisor or Franchisee to any defaults under the Primary Agreements arising after the date of this Agreement. Franchisee agrees that defaults arising after the date hereof under the Franchise Agreement shall not be deemed to have been waived, released, or cured by virtue of the execution of this Agreement.

 

3. Franchisee Defaults. The following provisions apply to Franchisee’s defaults under the Primary Agreements and events that give the Company the right to terminate the franchise relationship:

 

3.1. If Company issues a notice of default to Franchisee, Company will notify Feenix of such default or event by sending a copy of the default notice to Feenix as and when sent to Franchisee, or by separate written notice. Company’s failure to give notice to Lessor shall not affect Company’s rights under the Primary Agreements with regard to Franchisee, nor shall Company be liable to Feenix for any damages resulting directly or indirectly from such failure but the time period(s) set forth in the following Section 3.2 for Feenix to cure the default(s) set forth in such default notice shall not commence until delivery of such notice to Feenix.

 

3.2. Feenix may undertake to cure such default on behalf of Franchisee but is not obligated to do so. Unless Company otherwise consents in writing, Feenix’s time to cure the default will be the same as Franchisee’s time to cure, if any, under the terms of the Primary Agreements and the default notice.

 

3.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any monetary default, Feenix shall have a cure period of ten (10) days beyond the later of: (i) the time period, if any, provided to Franchisee to cure such a default under the Primary Agreement, (ii) the time period provided to Franchisee to cure such a default in the written notice of default, if any, or (iii) delivery by Company to Feenix of written notice of such monetary default, prior to any termination of the Franchise Agreement becoming effective. For non-monetary defaults (excluding life/safety defaults involving potential immediate harm to persons or property), Feenix’s time to cure the default will be same as Franchisee’s time to cure under the terms of the Franchise Agreement and the default notice but in no event less than thirty (30) days after delivery by Company to Feenix of written notice of such non-monetary default, provided that, Feenix shall not be required to cure any such default which is not reasonably susceptible of cure by Feenix in order to exercise Feenix’s rights under this Agreement, and provided, further, that if any default of a non-monetary nature is not reasonably capable of being cured within the thirty (30) day period, the Company will extend Feenix’s time to cure for such reasonable period of time as may be necessary to cure such default, provided, however, that (a) all monetary obligations of Franchisee under the Primary Agreements are kept current; (b) Feenix continues to diligently pursue cure of the default; (c) Feenix has initiated action to acquire ownership and/or control of Lessee; and (d) such period shall not exceed ninety (90) days. This extension does not apply to life/safety defaults involving potential immediate harm to persons or property.

 

2

 

 

3.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Primary Agreements (including, without limitation, Section 9 of the Franchise Agreement), an Equity Transfer effectuated in connection with an exercise of remedies under the Pledge shall automatically be deemed to be a Permitted Transferee transaction and shall not result in a breach, violation or default under the Primary Agreements, each of which shall continue in full force and effect following such Equity Transfer; provided that Feenix shall provide Franchisor with not less than five (5) business days’ prior written notice of such Equity Transfer.

 

4. Feenix Possession of Facility. The following provisions apply when and if Feenix takes possession of the Facility and exercises complete control over the Facility pursuant to a direct lease of the Facility (the “Lease”):

 

4.1. Feenix, on behalf of the Lenders, automatically, and without further action, shall succeed to and assume all of the rights and obligations of Franchisee under the Primary Agreements as of the date Lessor or an affiliate takes actual or constructive possession of the Facility (the “Possession Date”). Feenix, on behalf of the Lenders, agrees to and shall sign and deliver to Company an assignment and assumption agreement to confirm its assumption of the Primary Agreements, or to execute and deliver such other similar agreement as may be acceptable to Company, and to pay Company an administrative fee of $7,500 promptly after the Possession Date. Failure to execute such document or documents and pay the required administrative fee within thirty (30) days following Possession Date will constitute a material breach of this Agreement and of the Franchise Agreement (entitling Franchisor to terminate the Franchise Agreement) and shall not relieve Feenix of its obligations as “Franchisee” or “Member” under the Franchise Agreement, as applicable.

 

4.1.1. Regardless of the execution and delivery of the documents and payment referenced in Section 4.1 by Feenix, as of the Possession Date the Primary Agreements (i) shall be deemed ratified and affirmed in their entirety by Feenix on behalf of the Lenders; and (ii) shall become binding and enforceable upon Feenix. As of the Possession Date, Feenix, on behalf of the Lenders, will be the successor to Franchisee and will be responsible to remedy all defaults of the Franchisee under the Primary Agreements capable of being cured by Feenix and to perform in the capacity of “Franchisee” or the “Member,” as applicable, under the Primary Agreements in all respects.

 

4.2. Feenix or its affiliate shall provide the Company with proof of insurance meeting the requirements under the Franchise Agreement and System Standards within five (5) business days after the Possession Date.

 

4.3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Primary Agreements or this Agreement, Feenix shall have no obligation to pay any amounts then due and payable by Franchisee to Franchisor under the Primary Agreements, nor shall Feenix be obligated for any indemnification obligation of Franchisee under the Primary Agreements first arising or accruing prior to the Possession Date.

 

4.4. Feenix must cure any quality assurance default of Franchisee pending as of the Possession Date within sixty (60) days after the Possession Date or enter into a quality improvement agreement with the Company within thirty (30) days after the Possession Date to cure the defaults. In either case, Feenix must restore, to Company’s satisfaction, the quality assurance scores of the Facility to the entry level required for conversion Chain Facilities within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Possession Date. Company will furnish Feenix with a copy of the latest quality assurance inspection report generated before the Possession Date at Feenix’s request.

 

3

 

 

4.5. Any subsequent Transfer of the Facility after the Possession Date by Feenix or its affiliate shall be governed by the Transfer provisions of the Franchise Agreement.

 

4.6. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement or the Primary Agreements to the contrary:

 

4.6.1. [*]

 

4.6.2. [*]

 

4.6.3. The liquidated damages described in the Section 4.6.1 and Section 4.6.2 are the only payment obligations of Feenix in connection with exercising the Feenix Termination or in the instance of a Franchisor Termination, and are in lieu of and supersede the Liquidated Damages payable upon termination by Feenix under the Primary Agreements, and Feenix shall have no liability to pay Franchisor such Liquidated Damages or any other sum or amount payable under the Primary Agreements, in connection with the Feenix Termination or Franchisor Termination. The foregoing provision does not relieve Feenix of any payment obligations related to its operation of the Facility between the Possession Date and the effective date of the Feenix Termination or Franchisor Termination, as applicable; and

 

4.6.4. For the avoidance of doubt, if a termination occurs because Feenix has assigned the Lease and the assignee has entered into a new franchise agreement with Company pertaining to the Facility, no liquidated damages will be payable.

 

5. Receiver. The following provisions apply if Feenix requests, causes, or participates in the appointment of a receiver for the Facility or Franchisee (a “Receiver”). In such event, Company may exercise its right to terminate the franchise or the Primary Agreements, unless Feenix, by notice to Franchisor, elects to have Receiver enter into a TOA, as defined below, and (i) Feenix or Receiver remedies all monetary defaults of Franchisee then pending and commences and diligently undertakes to cure all non-monetary defaults of Franchisee under the Primary Agreements that are reasonably susceptible of cure by Feenix or Receiver within thirty (30) days after the appointment of Receiver; (ii) Receiver operates the Facility in compliance with the Primary Agreements and pays all fees accruing under the Primary Agreements during the period of the receivership (provided that Feenix and Receiver will not be obligated to comply with the renovation and upgrading requirements that are stated in the Primary Agreement while the TOA is in effect, to the extent that such renovation and upgrading requirements are not related to cleanliness and general maintenance or life/safety issues); (iii) Receiver signs and delivers to Company a temporary operator’s agreement or such other similar agreement as may be acceptable to Company (the “TOA”) within five (5) days after appointment of Receiver; and (iv) Feenix or Receiver pays Franchisor a $7,500 administrative fee upon execution of the TOA.

 

6. Feenix Action, Generally. If Feenix (i) commences any judicial or non-judicial action seeking the appointment of a Receiver, or (ii) commences any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or similar action because of any default by Franchisee under the terms of its agreements with Feenix (in any case, a “Feenix Action”), then Feenix shall notify the Company in writing of such Feenix Action. Feenix will promptly provide to Company a copy of any order appointing a receiver, or any other judicial or administrative order from an action initiated by Feenix that materially impacts ownership, control or possession of the Facility. Upon Company’s reasonable request, Feenix will send the Company copies of any related pleadings, notices, agreements, or other documents published, sent, or filed by Feenix in a Feenix Action.

 

4

 

 

7. Insolvency of Franchisee. In the event any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, or similar case is filed by or against Franchisee, then, subject to any automatic stay that may be imposed, Company may exercise its rights and remedies under the Primary Agreements, provided the exercise by Company of such rights and remedies shall not limit Feenix’s rights under this Agreement.

 

8. Franchisee Consent. Franchisee consents to the provisions of this Agreement. Franchisee also consents to the transmittal of any and all information between Feenix and Company from time-to-time about Franchisee’s account with Company, the status of the Primary Agreements, the franchise relationship, and the status of the Loan Documents, including that Company and Feenix may request of the other from time-to-time confirmation in writing that no defaults then exist under the Primary Agreements or the Loan Documents, respectively.

 

9. No Assignment by Lessor; Replacement Comfort Letter. Feenix may not assign this Agreement to an unaffiliated third-party without Company’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Feenix shall assign this Agreement (without the requirement of Company consent) to any (i) affiliate of Feenix that acquires Feenix’s interest in the Loan Documents; and (ii) entity that acquires Feenix or any parent entity of Feenix (or is the survivor of any merger or similar reorganization of Feenix) and this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by such assignee. Feenix shall provide Company written notice of any such assumption). Company will issue a replacement three-party agreement, substantially similar in form to this Agreement, if (a) Feenix’s or any Lender’s interest in the Loan Documents is assigned to a third party; and (b) Company receives a written request to issue a replacement three-party agreement within 30 days of the date of such assignment. Company reserves the right to charge an administrative fee not to exceed the fee paid by Franchisee in connection with this Agreement for such replacement three-party agreement. Any such replacement three-party agreement shall supersede and replace this Agreement.

 

10. Termination of Agreement. This Agreement terminates automatically when (i) Company or Franchisee terminates the license or the Primary Agreements in accordance with their terms after giving Feenix any notice required under this Agreement and subject to Feenix’s assignment and assumption right set forth in Section 4.1; (ii) the indebtedness evidenced by the Loan Agreement is indefeasibly repaid in full; (iii) the term of the license under the Franchise Agreements expires; (iv) Feenix assumes the Primary Agreements under the terms of this Agreement; or (v) Feenix assigns its interest in the Loan Documents to a third party, other than as expressly permitted by Section 9 of this Agreement. There is no equitable right of redemption applicable to this Agreement.

Exhibit 10.10

 

CONSENT AGREEMENT

 

THIS CONSENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of September 2, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), by and between STORE CAPITAL ACQUISITIONS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Lessor”) and FVP SERVICING, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as administrative agent for each of the Lenders (as defined in the Loan Agreement (defined below) (“Feenix”), and as acknowledged by ALTITUDE HOSPITALITY LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Lessee”).

 

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

 

A. Lessor is the owner of the real property more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively, the “Premises”). The Premises is leased by Lessor to Lessee pursuant to that certain Lease Agreement dated as of the Effective Date (as amended, the “Lease”). Lessor and Lessee are also parties to that certain Disbursement Agreement whereby Lessor has agreed to fund construction of improvements to the Premises subject to the terms and conditions contained therein (as amended, the “Disbursement Agreement”).

 

B. In connection with the Lease, Altitude International Holdings, Inc., a New York corporation (“Guarantor”) has provided a lease guaranty for the benefit of Lessor. Guarantor owns 100% of the membership interests in Lessee (“Ownership Interests”).

 

C. Feenix is providing financing to Lessee and Guarantor (the “Credit Facility”) evidenced by that certain Amended and Restated Loan Agreement of even date herewith (the “Loan Agreement”) and in connection therewith Guarantor is pledging its Ownership Interests to Feenix as collateral for the Credit Facility (the “Pledge”).

 

D. Feenix and Lessee desire to obtain Lessor’s consent in connection with Credit Facility and the Pledge.

 

E. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Lease.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Consent. Lessor hereby consents to the Pledge on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Feenix hereby acknowledges and agrees that Feenix shall have no security interest or any other interest or rights in Lessor’s fee interest in the Premises or the Personalty, and Feenix hereby waives and relinquishes any such interests and rights. Other than as set forth in this Agreement, Lessor’s consent to the Pledge shall not be construed to constitute consent to any future assignment or transfer of the Lease or any interest in Lessee or assignment of the Disbursement Agreement for which Lessor’s consent is required thereunder.

2. Transfer of Ownership Interests. Without consent of Lessor, but upon at least five (5) days’ prior written notice to Lessor, Feenix (or a designee or nominee of Feenix which is an affiliate or subsidiary of Feenix (a “Feenix Party”)) may acquire the Ownership Interests in accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility. Any subsequent transfer of the Ownership Interests shall occur in accordance with the provisions of the Lease except that Feenix shall be permitted to cause the assignment of the Lease and the Disbursement Agreement to a Qualified Operator without the consent of Lessor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in the Lease, Feenix may transfer the Ownership Interests, directly or indirectly, or assign the Lease and the Disbursement Agreement, in each case, without Lessor’s consent to a Qualified Operator. A “Qualified Operator” shall mean a Person who: (x) for two (2) consecutive years immediately prior to the date of transfer and (y) on a proforma basis following the consummation of such transfer (all as reasonably determined by Lessor upon review of financial statements provided by the transferee prior to the proposed transfer and in a form reasonably satisfactory to Lessor), (A) has a CFCCR (defined below) of at least 1.75x (post Capital Replacement Reserve and management fees paid pursuant to the Management Agreement); and (B) generates EBITDA (defined below) of at least $3,500,000 (post Capital Replacement Reserve and management fees paid pursuant to the Management Agreement) (the “Qualified Operator Metrics”); provided, however, the proposed transferee may satisfy the foregoing conditions of a Qualified Operator by providing, or causing to be provided, a lease guaranty agreement, in form and substance consistent with the Guaranty, which guaranty shall be from an entity that when combined with the proposed transferee meets the requirements of the Qualified Operator Metrics. Feenix shall provide Lessor with at least twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of the proposed transfer, such notice must include financial information satisfying the Qualified Operator requirements set forth herein.

3. Notice of Default; Lease Termination.

 

(a) Lessor may not terminate the Lease or Disbursement Agreement as a result of any uncured default or breach thereunder on the part of Lessee without giving Feenix written notice of such uncured default or breach and such default or breach shall remain uncured after Lessor shall have afforded Feenix a period in which to cure such default or breach which is (A) in the case of default in the payment of Rental or other Monetary Obligation, the later of (i) five (5) business days after the expiration of the cure period set forth in the Lease, and (ii) ten (10) Business Days after Feenix’s receipt of such written notice of default from Lessor, (B) in the case of a non-Monetary Default that Feenix is reasonably capable of curing without obtaining control of the Property, the later of (x) thirty (30) days after expiration of the cure period set forth in the Lease or Disbursement Agreement (as applicable), and (y) one hundred twenty (120) days after Feenix’s receipt of such written notice of default from Lessor, and (C) in the case of any other non-Monetary Default, or a Personal Default (defined below), provided Feenix institutes a foreclosure proceeding during the cure period in clause (B) above, and, upon completing such foreclosure proceeding, then Feenix (or the applicable Feenix Party) shall have such period of time as is reasonably necessary thereafter to complete such cure with the exercise of reasonable, diligent efforts. The term “Personal Default” means any non-Monetary Default of any predecessor lessee that is not reasonably susceptible of cure by Feenix (or the applicable Feenix Party), including (to the extent, if any, that any of the following may actually constitute a default under the Lease), a bankruptcy proceeding affecting such predecessor lessee or any other Person; a prohibited transfer; failure to deliver financial information within Lessee’s control; and any other non-Monetary Default that by its nature relates only to, or can reasonably be performed only by, Lessee or its Affiliates.

(b) In the event of a termination of the Lease prior to the expiration of the term thereof (including, without limitation, by reason of any termination of the Lease by Lessee or its trustee pursuant to Section 365 (h) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Sections 101, et seq., as amended), Lessor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to send Feenix written notice of such termination (“Lessor Notice”) together with a statement of any and all sums which would be due under the Lease as of the date of notice (but for the termination of the Lease) and a description of any and all events of default under the Lease; provided, however, that Lessor’s failure to send such written notice shall not constitute a breach or default by Lessor hereunder but instead will only delay commencement of Feenix’s cure rights granted hereunder. Within forty-five (45) days from its receipt of the Lessor Notice, Feenix shall have the option to obtain a new lease for the Premises (the “New Lease”) by providing Lessor with written notice of its desire to exercise such option and to cure all defaults which are (i) capable of being cured by Feenix (i.e. are not defaults that are not Personal Defaults) and (ii) either (A) curable by the payment of money or (B) reasonably capable of being cured by Feenix in such forty-five (45) day period. Upon Lessor’s receipt of such notice, Lessor shall enter into a New Lease for the Premises with Feenix, which shall be in the same form as the Lease (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Articles XVIII and XIX of the Lease), shall commence as of the date of the termination of the Lease, be effective for the remainder of the term of the Lease, contain all of the terms and conditions that were set forth in the Lease including, but not limited to, those pertaining to rental payments and options to renew the term of the Lease, and have the same level of priority in respect of the Lease, Lessor’s fee estate in the Premises, any Mortgages, and any other encumbrances upon the Premises or any part thereof.

 

4. Recognition. If Feenix, a Feenix Party or a Qualified Operator (each, a “Successor Lessee”) shall acquire the Ownership Interests, or become an assignee of the Lease, or shall obtain a New Lease, then: (1) Lessor shall recognize such Successor Lessee as the lessee under the Lease or the New Lease, as applicable; (2) all Personal Defaults of the predecessor lessee(s) shall no longer be deemed defaults; and (3) all obligations that, if breached, would constitute a Personal Default as to predecessor lessee(s), but not as to the Successor Lessee shall be deemed to have been removed and deleted from the Lease or the New Lease, as applicable. The preceding clauses “(2)” and “(3)” shall not limit Lessor’s rights and remedies against any former lessee in such former lessee’s personal capacity (i.e., not as Lessee under the Lease), to the extent that such former lessee may have any personal liability but in no event shall Lessor have any right to exercise any rights and remedies under the Lease or a New Lease against a Successor Lessee on account thereof.

5. Subordination.

 

(a) Upon receipt of written notice (a “Default Notice”) from Lessor to Feenix that Lessee has failed to pay to Lessor any Base Monthly Rental amounts owed by Lessee under the Lease (in each case after expiration of any applicable notice and cure period applicable pursuant to the Lease), and provided Feenix does not cure the default so noticed as provided under this Agreement, Feenix hereby agrees that while such defaults identified in the Default Notice continue to exist, Feenix shall not accept any payments directly from Lessee in connection with the Credit Facility, other than payments from the Feenix Interest Reserve Account (as defined in the Loan Agreement) provided that, to the extent any payment to Feenix by the Lessee is restricted by this Section 5(a), such payment shall accrue and Lessee may pay to Feenix, and Feenix may receive and accept from Lessee, such payment at such time as such restriction is no longer in effect; provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lessee may make payments-in-kind with respect to the Credit Facility, from time to time, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement In the event Feenix receives any payments directly from Lessee after delivery to Feenix of a Default Notice and prior to such time as the defaults identified in the Default Notice have been cured, Feenix agrees that such payments shall be received and held by Feenix in trust for Lessor, and such amounts shall be promptly delivered to Lessor upon delivery of written instructions from Lessor.

 

(b) Except as expressly set forth in Section 5 (a) above, Feenix shall be subject to no other restrictions with respect to Lessee. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 5(a) above shall solely restrict payments made to Feenix directly by the Lessee and shall in no manner restrict payments made to Feenix by any parent or sister company or other Affiliate of the Lessee. Nothing herein shall in any way prohibit, impair, impact or otherwise affect the ability of Feenix to (a) collect amounts payable to Feenix in connection with the Credit Facility, except as expressly set forth in Section 5(a) above; (b) modify, renew, extend or in any other way alter the obligations of Lessee in connection with the Credit Facility; (c) declare an event of default with respect to the Credit Facility; or (d) to enforce its rights to, or take any action with respect to, any collateral securing the Credit Facility or otherwise.

 

(c) In the event Lessor becomes insolvent and unable to complete the funding obligations pursuant to the terms of the Disbursement Agreement, the foregoing subordination set forth in Section 5(a) above shall be null and void and of no further force and effect.

 

6. Construction Deposit Account. The Loan Agreement includes an obligation that Feenix fund a construction deposit account with loan proceeds in the amount of $3,000,000 to satisfy the initial portion of Lessee’s Initial Funding (as defined in the Disbursement Agreement)(the “Construction Deposit Account”). Upon Lessee’s request for disbursements from the Construction Deposit Account, Feenix shall provide notice to Lessor at the address below upon disbursement of such funds to Lessee.
