the following circumstances:
X.Xxxx Photo and its franchisees own and operate photo finishing stores.
B.Fuji sells minilab photo processing equipment to certain financial
institutions for resale to Moto Photo and its franchisees and sells
color photographic paper, photographic chemicals and various other
related products to Moto Photo for resale to Moto Photo's customers and
franchisees.
C.Fuji and Moto Photo have entered into an Agreement of even date
herewith, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Project
Agreement"), which provides for a special lease financing program known
as Moto Photo QuickStart (the "Moto Photo QuickStart Program") which
Fuji and Moto Photo have agreed to make available to Moto Photo and
selected franchisees. In addition, Fuji and Provident have entered into
a Guaranty and Repurchase Agreement of even date herewith (the "Fuji
Guaranty") under which Fuji has guaranteed certain payments to be made
to Provident by the participants in the Moto Photo QuickStart Program
and has agreed to repurchase equipment leased by Provident in connection
with the Moto Photo QuickStart Program, under the circumstances
described in the Fuji Guaranty.
D.This Agreement is being entered into by the parties to effectuate the
Moto Photo QuickStart Program.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1. Financings by Provident; Term. (a) Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, from time to time during the term of this
Agreement, upon written notice from Moto Photo and Fuji, Provident shall,
in each such event: (i) purchase from Fuji, and Fuji shall sell to
Provident, a Fuji minilab photo processor and related equipment described
on Exhibit B ("Fuji Equipment") at the price set forth on Exhibit B, (ii)
Moto Photo shall make available for purchase by Provident, and Provident
shall purchase, certain equipment manufactured by third parties described
on Exhibit B ("Third Party Equipment"), and (iii) Provident shall enter
into a business lease agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit C
hereto (a "Lease") with Moto Photo or a Moto Photo franchisee designated by
Moto Photo (a "Program Participant") pursuant to which Provident shall
lease the Fuji Equipment and the Third Party Equipment (collectively,
"Equipment") to the Program Participant for a term of eight years from the
last day of the month in which the Equipment is placed in service and shall
make a cash payment to the Program Participant of up to the maximum amount
specified on Exhibit B as a store build-out allowance (a "Build-Out
Allowance"). Provident, Fuji and Moto Photo shall follow the procedures
described in Exhibit D with respect to the authorization and closing of
each Lease (the "Closing Procedures") unless Provident and Moto Photo
otherwise agree in writing. Provident shall be entitled to rely on the
representations and warranties made by the Program Participant in the Lease
with respect to the Program Participant's organization, authority, due
execution and delivery of the Lease and the like.
(b)In accordance with each Lease and with the maintenance agreement to be
entered into by and between Fuji and each Program Participant, which shall be
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (each, a "Maintenance Agreement"),
so long as there is no default under the applicable Lease, Provident shall
pay to Fuji on behalf of the Program Participant at the beginning of each
year of the Maintenance Agreement (which shall commence at the beginning of
the second year of the Lease) the annual maintenance fee payable under the
Maintenance Agreement in the amount specified on Exhibit B. Provident shall
be reimbursed for amounts so paid to Fuji through the payments made by the
Program Participant to Provident pursuant to the Lease.
(c)At the time Provident is instructed pursuant to Section 1(a) to enter into
a Lease, Moto Photo and Fuji shall specify in writing to Provident: (i) the
manner in which the weekly rental and all other periodic payments (including
any minimum payments) to be made by the Program Participant under the Lease
are to be calculated, (ii) the identity of any guarantors who are required to
execute the Lease, and (iii) any terms to be included in the Lease that are
different from those set forth in the form of Lease attached hereto as
Exhibit C.
(d)Provident's obligations under Section 1(a) shall be subject, in each
instance, to satisfaction of each of the following conditions:
(b)The Program Participant which is a party to the Lease shall be domiciled
in, and the store in which the Equipment subject to the Lease will be used
shall be located in, the continental United States of America;
(c)The Program Participant shall have executed and delivered to Provident the
Lease and each other agreement or instrument (including, without limitation,
appropriate financing statements) which the Program Participant is required
to execute and deliver under the terms of the Lease, and all other conditions
to the effectiveness of the Lease set forth therein shall have been
satisfied;
(d)Fuji and Moto Photo shall have approved in writing the final form of the
Lease to be entered into with the Program Participant, if it will vary from
the form of Lease attached hereto as Exhibit C; and
(e)Provident shall have received a valid xxxx or bills of sale conveying to
Provident the Equipment to be leased to the Program Participant pursuant to
the Lease.
(f) For purposes of this Agreement, the sum of all amounts paid by Provident
with respect to the purchase of Equipment subject to a Lease plus the amount
of the Build-Out Allowance paid by Provident under that Lease hereinafter is
referred to as Provident's "Initial Investment" with respect to that Lease.
In no event shall the aggregate amount of Provident's Initial Investment with
respect to any Lease entered into pursuant to this Agreement exceed $200,000
nor shall the purchase price of any Third Party Equipment plus the amount of
the Build-Out Allowance under any single Lease exceed $60,000.
(g) This Agreement shall commence on the day first written above and shall
terminate at the end of the term of the last Lease to expire or to be
terminated; provided, however, that: (i) as soon as practicable after
Provident enters into the 40th Lease under this Agreement, Provident, Moto
Photo and Fuji shall cause their respective representatives to discuss
extending the Moto Photo QuickStart Program and the terms of any such
extension, and (ii) if Provident, Moto Photo and Fuji have not otherwise
agreed in writing, the obligations of the parties with respect to any
additional Leases (including Provident's obligation to enter into any
additional Leases with Program Participants) shall terminate at such time as
Provident has entered into the first 50 Leases with Program Participants
under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, however, unless
Provident otherwise agrees in writing, Provident shall not be obligated to
enter into any additional Leases after December 31, 1999 if fewer than 50
Leases have been entered into on or before such date.
(h)Any security interest in the Equipment subject to a Lease or any other
similar lien or right with respect to any of such Equipment which Moto Photo
may hold under a franchise agreement with the Program Participant that is a
party to such Lease or otherwise shall be subordinate in all respects to the
rights of Provident and Fuji with respect to such Equipment under such Lease.
Section 2. ACH Collections; Allocations; and Payments. (a) Each Lease shall
provide Provident with the right to collect from a designated account of the
Program Participant, by means of weekly electronic fund transfers initiated
through the Automated Clearing House Association ("ACH/EFT") amounts due to
Provident from the Program Participant under the Lease ("Electronic
Payments"). On or before 11:00 a.m. Dayton, Ohio, time on Tuesday of each
week during which any Leases are outstanding, Moto Photo shall notify
Provident by fax or, if agreed by Provident and Moto Photo, by electronic
data transmission, of the proper amount of the Electronic Payments which
shall be charged by Provident to the account of each Program Participant by
means of ACH//EFT. In addition, if a Program Participant owes any amount
under a Lease with respect to Impositions (as defined in the Lease),
Provident may increase the amount to be collected from the Program
Participant by means of the ACH/EFT charge by the amount of the Impositions,
in accordance with the provisions of the Lease.
(b)In the event that Provident does not receive the full amount of the
Electronic Payments due from the account of a Program Participant by means of
the ACH/EFT charge, Provident promptly shall notify the Program Participant,
Fuji and Moto Photo (a "Payment Default Notice") that a payment default
exists under all Leases between Provident and that Program Participant. If
the Program Participant fails (a "Continuing Payment Default") to pay the
full amount due within seven days after Provident gives the Payment Default
Notice, Provident promptly shall notify Fuji and Moto Photo of the Continuing
Payment Default.
Section 3. Defaults by Program Participants under Leases. (a) As soon as
practicable after Provident receives notice, with respect to any Lease, of
the occurrence of any Default (as defined in the Lease), Provident shall
notify Fuji and Moto Photo of such Default.
(b) Following the occurrence of any Default under a Lease and prior to
demanding payment with respect to such Lease from Fuji pursuant to the Fuji
Guaranty, Provident shall, at its expense, unless otherwise instructed by
Fuji and Moto Photo in writing, take such actions with respect to the
enforcement of its rights under the Lease as are consistent with Provident's
normal and customary practices; provided, however, that Provident shall not
be required to initiate any legal action with respect to any such Default
other than pursuant to Section 3(c) below. Unless Provident, Fuji and Moto
Photo otherwise agree, Provident shall not make any demand for payment by
Fuji under the Fuji Guaranty with respect to a Lease as to which a Default
has occurred unless such Default is a Continuing Payment Default and the
failure to pay has continued without being cured in full for at least 90 days
after the date on which the payment was due under the Lease.
(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in Sections 2(b) and 3(b), without
written instructions from Fuji and Moto Photo, Provident shall have no
obligation to take any action with respect to any Default under any Lease or
any action or omission which, with the passage of time or the giving of
notice, or both, might constitute a Default; provided however, that Provident
shall take such other actions with respect to any such Lease as Fuji and Moto
Photo reasonably may request in writing, if Fuji and Moto Photo acknowledge
in such request their obligation to reimburse Provident for all reasonable
expenses in connection therewith and to indemnify Provident in connection
therewith.
(d) Moto Photo shall use its reasonable best efforts to assist Provident or
Fuji, as the case may be, in seeking performance by each Program Participant
of its obligations under the Lease or Leases to which it is party (including,
without limitation, in attempting to cause any such Program Participant to
cure any Default under any such Lease).
Section 4. Equipment Trade-Ins. In the event that a Program Participant
desires to trade-in any Equipment subject to a Lease, Provident, Moto Photo
and Fuji shall cooperate and use reasonable efforts to accommodate such
desire and shall make appropriate modifications to the Lease and this
Agreement to reflect any such accommodation.
Section 5. Reports. (a) For so long as any Leases remain outstanding,
Provident shall provide to Moto Photo and Fuji, within 15 business days after
the end of each month, a report (the "Monthly Report"), presented for the
preceding month and, on a cumulative basis, for the period from the date of
this Agreement through the end of the month for which the Monthly Report is
being made, showing:
(i)for each outstanding Lease, an account (a "Lease Account") which shall
reflect the amount of Provident's Initial Investment with respect to such
Lease from the date when paid and:
(1)shall be increased by the amount of all maintenance fees paid by
Provident to Fuji with respect to the Equipment leased under such
Lease from the date when paid,
(2)shall be increased by any Impositions incurred by Provident under
such Lease from the date incurred,
(3)on a daily basis: (x) if the Lease Account has an outstanding
positive balance, shall be increased by an accrual for interest on the
outstanding balance (excluding from such balance for such purpose the
aggregate amount of all prior accruals pursuant to this clause (3)) at
the rate of 9.6% per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360
days), or (y) if the Lease Account has an outstanding negative balance
and the Consolidation Account (as hereinafter defined) has a positive
balance, shall be decreased by an accrual for interest on the
outstanding negative balance (expressed as a positive number and
excluding from such balance the aggregate amount of all prior accruals
pursuant to this clause (3)) at the rate of 9.6% per annum (computed
on the basis of a year of 360 days), and
(4)shall be reduced by the amount of all payments collected by
Provident or paid to Provident under the Lease (including, without
limitation, any insurance recoveries received by Provident) or paid to
Provident with respect to the Lease under the Fuji Guaranty or Section
6(a) of this Agreement;
(ii)for all Leases entered into in the same calendar year (each, a "Pool"),
an account (a "Pool Account") which shall reflect on an aggregate combined
basis all of the Lease Accounts for the Leases in that Pool; and
(iii)for all Leases, a consolidation account (the "Consolidation Account")
which shall reflect on an aggregate combined basis all of the Pool Accounts;
provided, however, that for any periods during which the Consolidation
Account has a negative balance, the Consolidation Account also shall be
decreased by an accrual for interest on the outstanding negative balance
(expressed as a positive number) and excluding from such balance the
aggregate amount of all prior such accruals at a rate per annum equal to the
rate then paid by Provident with respect to positive balances in commercial
accounts under Provident's standard corporate cash management arrangements.
(b)Moto Photo and Fuji promptly shall notify Provident in writing of the
amount of any "Foreclosure Gain," "Foreclosure Loss," "Settlement Amount,"
"Net Resale Price" and "Settlement Value" (each as defined in the Project
Agreement) with respect to any Lease. All Monthly Reports, Annual
Reconciliation Reports and Pool Reconciliation Reports (as hereinafter
defined) prepared by Provident with respect to periods following receipt of
any such notice thereafter shall include a statement of such amounts.
Section 6. Settlement between Fuji and Provident. (a) If, upon termination
of a Lease, the Lease (other than a Lease as to which Fuji previously has
made payment to Provident under the Fuji Guaranty) Account with respect to
such Lease has a positive balance (the amount of such positive balance
hereinafter being referred to as the "Residual Value" of such Lease) and if:
(i) the Program Participant which is a party to such Lease does not purchase
the Equipment subject to such Lease in accordance with the terms of such
Lease, Provident shall sell such Equipment to Fuji, and Fuji shall purchase
such Equipment from Provident, within 15 business days after the termination
of such Lease, at a purchase price equal to the Residual Value, or
(ii)the Program Participant which is a party to such Lease purchases the
Equipment subject to such Lease in accordance with the terms of such Lease
and the net proceeds received by Provident from the Program Participant with
respect to the sale of such Equipment are less than the Residual Value with
respect to such Lease, Fuji shall pay to Provident, within 15 business days
after such sale, the amount by which such Residual Value exceed such net
proceeds, or
(iii)the Program Participant which is a party to such Lease purchases the
Equipment subject to such Lease in accordance with the terms of such Lease
and the net proceeds received by Provident with respect to the sale of such
Equipment are greater than the Residual Value, Provident shall pay to Fuji,
within 15 business days after such sale, the amount by which such net
proceeds exceeds such Residual Value.
(b)If, upon termination of a Lease (other than a Lease as to which Fuji
previously has made payment to Provident under the Fuji Guaranty), the Lease
Account with respect to such Lease has a negative balance (the amount of such
negative balance, expressed as a positive number, being referred to as the
"Inherent Gain" under such Lease), Provident shall pay to Fuji, within 15
business days after the termination of such Lease, an amount equal to the
Inherent Gain plus, if the Program Participant which is a party to such Lease
purchases the Equipment subject to such Lease in accordance with the terms of
such Lease, the net proceeds received by Provident with respect to the sale
of such Equipment to such Program Participant. In the event that such
Program Participant does not purchase the Equipment subject to such Lease in
accordance with the terms of such Lease, Provident also shall convey to Fuji,
at the time Provident makes such payment, all of Provident's right, title and
interest in the Equipment subject to such Lease.
(c)Within 15 business days after delivery of the last Monthly Report under
Section 5, if the Consolidation Account has a negative balance, Provident
shall pay to Fuji the amount of such negative balance.
Section 7. Settlements among Moto Photo, Fuji and the Program Participants.
(a) Within 15 business days after the end of each calendar year, Provident
shall prepare and provide to Fuji and Moto Photo a report (an "Annual
Reconciliation Report") showing the Net Gains and Net Losses (each as defined
in the Project Agreement) during the year then ended, based on the
information provided to Provident pursuant to Section 5(b) and the Monthly
Reports, sufficient to permit Fuji and Moto Photo to make any payments
required by Section 4(a) of the Project Agreement.
(b) Provident shall include with the Annual Reconciliation Report for each
year, commencing with the year ending December 31, 2006, another report (a
"Pool Reconciliation Report") showing the Net Gains and Pool Gains (each as
defined in the Project Agreement), if any, for the Pool consisting of Leases
entered into during the calendar year ending eight years before such December
31, based on the information provided to Provident pursuant to Section 5(b),
the Monthly Reports and the Annual Reconciliation Report, sufficient to
permit Fuji and Moto Photo to make any payments required by Section 4(b) of
the Project Agreement.
Section 8. Indemnification. Fuji and Moto Photo, jointly but not severally,
shall indemnify, defend, exonerate and hold Provident and each of its
officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, "Provident
Indemnified Parties") harmless from and against any and all actions, causes
of action, suits, losses, costs, liabilities and damages, and all expenses
incurred in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Provident
Indemnified Party is a party to the action for which indemnification
hereunder is sought), including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements
(collectively, the "Provident Indemnified Liabilities"), incurred by any of
