computerized minibars, a central unit and a license to HOMI®

at the Strand Hotel in New York, USA (the “Hotel”
and the “Minibar
System”, respectively), and which HOMI’s affiliate, HOMI USA, Inc.
(the “Affiliate”),
which is under common control as HOMI, will then operate under an
outsource operation agreement which has been signed and entered into
between the Affiliate and the Hotel (the “Operation”
and the “Outsource
Agreement”, respectively);
and
|
|
Whereas:
|
HOMI
has decided to refinance the Minibar System as part of a new financing
plan for its continued operation and expansion;
and
|
|
Whereas:
|
In
the context of such refinancing, HOMI would like to take a loan from
Lender, and Lender would like to grant a loan to HOMI, which will be
repaid out of HOMI’s revenues from the Operation, all in accordance with
and subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein;
|
Therefore,
the parties have made condition and agreed as follows:
|
1.
|
The
Loan
|
|
1.1
|
Upon
the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Lender agrees to
loan to HOMI the principal amount of $88,500.- (eighty eight thousand and
five hundred US Dollars) (the “Loan”),
being equivalent to $500 for each minibar in the Minibar
System.
|
|
1.2
|
The
Loan will be made available to HOMI within 3 business days of the date
hereof (hereinafter: the “Loan
Date”), by means of SWIFT wire transfer to HOMI’s account No.
725000/52 at Bank Leumi, branch No.
809.
|
|
2.
|
Repayment
|
|
2.1
|
HOMI
undertakes to repay the entire Loan, in the manner set forth
below.
|
|
2.2
|
On
a monthly
basis, for each month of the Operation, commencing as of the first
calendar month following commencement of the
Operation:
|
|
a.
|
HOMI
will deliver to Lender a copy of its Affiliate’s monthly invoices to the
Hotel in respect of the full amount of monthly net revenues from the
Operation (“HOMI’s Invoice
to the Hotel”), which the Hotel is obliged to pay to the Affiliate
under the Outsource Agreement for that month (“Net Revenues
from Hotel”), usually by the 10th
of each calendar month.
|
|
b.
|
From
the sum equal to the Net Revenues from Hotel, HOMI will deduct: (i) the
cost of goods being sold via the Minibar System, with no margin to HOMI,
(ii) Operations’ direct labour costs, (iii) maintenance fees of $0.06 per
minibar per day, and (iv) a management fee of 8% of Net Revenues from
Hotel (collectively, “Operational
Payments”). The aforementioned maintenance fees are all-inclusive,
and in return HOMI will take whatever action is needed, including parts
and labour, to maintain the Minibar System in normal working
condition.
|
|
c.
|
If
Net Revenues from Hotel, as collected by HOMI’s Affiliate, exceed
Operational Payments by at least $2,213, then HOMI will pay to Lender a
sum equal to 60% of all such excess, towards repayment of the
Loan.
|
|
d.
|
If
Net Revenues from Hotel, as collected by HOMI’s Affiliate, exceed
Operational Payments by more $1,328 but less than $2,213, then HOMI will
pay to Lender exactly $1,328 towards repayment of the
Loan.
|
|
e.
|
If
Net Revenues from Hotel, as collected by HOMI’s Affiliate, exceed
Operational Payments by less than $1,328, then HOMI will pay to Lender a
sum equal to 100% of all such excess, towards repayment of the
Loan.
|
|
f.
|
If
Net Revenues from Hotel, as collected by HOMI’s Affiliate, do not exceed
Operational Payments, then no payment will be made to Lender for that
month.
|
|
g.
|
Payments
to Lender as set forth above will be effected on the 30th
of the calendar month following the month for which payment is being
made.
|
|
2.3
|
The provisions of Sections 2.2c,
2.2d and 2.2e above shall only apply for the first 8 years
of this Agreement (the “Initial
Term”). Thereafter, HOMI will pay to Lender a sum equal to 60% of
the entire amount by which Net Revenues from Hotel shall exceed
Operational Payments, if at
all.
|
|
2.4
|
A sample spreadsheet showing key elements of the
mechanism for implementation of the provisions of this Section
2 above, is attached hereto as
Exhibit
A’.
|
|
2.5
|
HOMI shall continue to effect the payments to
Lender pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 2.3 above, for as long as the Operation
continues in respect of the Minibar System. If and when the aggregate
total of such repayments exceeds the principal of the Loan, such
repayments shall be deemed interest on the Loan, up to and including a sum
equivalent to annual interest of 8%, and thereafter will be deemed
additional interest, in respect of which Lender shall deliver a monthly
invoice to HOMI.
|
|
2.6
|
If the Outsource Agreement is terminated during
the Initial Term and the Minibar System removed from the Hotel, then HOMI
will, at its own cost, reinstall the Minibar System at one or more other
hotels at which the Minibar System will have equivalent revenue earning
capacity as in the Hotel, as soon as possible and in any event within 6
months of its removal from the Hotel, and the period between said removal
and reinstallation shall not be included in the Initial Term for the
purposes of Section 2.3 above.
|
|
2.7
|
If reinstallation was not performed within said 6
months, then HOMI shall be obliged, at any time during the following 3
months, to transfer the fixed charge being granted to Lender under Section
5.1 below, to other installed
minibars, of equivalent value and revenue earning capacity, and such other
minibars will then form the basis for the computations as set forth in
Sections 2.2 and 2.3 above, provided that, for said 3 months,
HOMI shall in any event repay to Lender 50% of the amount specified in
Section 2.2e above.
|
|

event shall occur materially adversely affecting the ability of HOMI to
repay the Loan under the terms of this
Agreement.

security and collateral for the full and timely repayment of the Loan
pursuant to this Agreement, HOMI will, promptly upon receipt of the Loan,
encumber the Minibar System by registering a first degree fixed charge
over the Minibar System, in favour of the Lender and will take such action
as is required in order to give this fixed charge full effect, including
by means of its being reported and registered with the appropriate
authorities, with a copy to Lender. This fixed charge will remain in force
until the Loan has been repaid in full, at which time Lender will
cooperate with HOMI in the cancellation and removal of the fixed
charge.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and
for as long as said Event of Default remains uncured, Lender may, without

said actions by the Lender.

that Lender may, at any particular time, hold various forms of security
and/or collateral in respect of the Loan, whether received from HOMI or
from any third party, including the security and collateral as set forth
in Section 5.1 above (all such
security and collateral being termed hereinafter, the “Collateral”),
and that Lender’s rights herein with respect to the security and
collateral as set forth in Section 5.1 above shall remain in full force and effect
regardless of, and in addition to, any other Collateral then held by
Lender, and Lender shall have full and absolute discretion as to the order
and/or nature in which it exercises and/or realizes its rights in the
Collateral, if at all, and as to the timing of any such exercise and/or
realization, and HOMI hereby waives any and all claims, demands and/or

creditors, to take any action and sign any instrument and/or form and/or
