Parties’ rights as stipulated in the Financing Documents.
2. |
The
Financing |
2.1 |
Commitment
to Financing |
2.1.1 Solog
hereby undertakes to provide HOMI with financing, for the Specified Purpose, in
accordance with draw-downs which may be made by HOMI from time to time during
the Term of this Agreement and in accordance with the provisions hereof,
provided that the cumulative amount of financing which HOMI may draw-down from
Solog, and which Solog undertakes to provide, if so required under this
Agreement, will not exceed $10 million principal (the “Financing”) and
further provided that HOMI shall, in respect of a particular Loan, have met the
preconditions required for grant of that Loan, as set forth in Section 4 of the
Loan Agreement.
2.1.2 Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 2.1.1 above, in the event that, at any given time
during the Term of this Agreement:
2.1.2.1 repayments
to Solog of principal and interest under one or more Loan Agreements, in an
amount of more than $100,000, and in an amount of more than $200,000 once
$5,000,000 of the Financing has already been drawn-down, remain outstanding,
representing an event of default by HOMI under such Loan Agreements that has not
been cured in accordance with the applicable Loan Agreements;
and/or
2.1.2.2 any
proceedings seeking to declare HOMI bankrupt, or insolvent, or seeking
liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement with creditors, composition
of debts or any other similar proceedings shall be initiated against HOMI or any
resolution shall be passed by HOMI for the appointment of a liquidator,
administrator or receiver of, or for the winding up of HOMI, and in any such
case, such resolution or proceeding shall not be dismissed within thirty (30)
days; and/or
2.1.2.3 HOMI
sells all or substantially all of its assets or is acquired by another entity by
means of merger, consolidation or other transaction resulting in the exchange of
the outstanding shares of HOMI’s capital stock such that the stockholders of
HOMI prior to such transaction own, directly or indirectly, less than 50% of the
voting power of the surviving entity; then
Solog shall forthwith be deemed released of any further obligation under Section
2.1.1 above, such that it shall not then be obliged to provide any further part
of the Financing that was not actually loaned already to HOMI, provided that
Solog shall be entitled, in its discretion, to provide such Financing, during
the period in which said event or events still prevail and/or, in the case of
Sections 2.1.2.1 and/or 2.1.2.2 above, at such time as such events may no longer
prevail, whether to HOMI or, in the case of Section 2.1.2.3 above, to the
surviving entity, in which case any such Financing subsequently provided by
Solog shall continue to be governed by this Agreement and Solog’s obligation
under Section 2.1.1 above shall be reinstated and the provisions of Section 2.2
below shall continue to apply, such that if HOMI (or the post-merger surviving
entity) shall be in breach of the provisions of Section 2.2 below, then the
provisions of Section 5.2.1 below shall apply. Any such
decision by Solog to recommence provision of Financing subsequent to the
occurrence of one or more of the events set forth in Sections 2.1.2.1 to 2.1.2.3
above, shall in no way derogate from (i) HOMI’s obligation to pay any and all
sums owing to Solog; and (ii) the Parties’ respective rights and obligations
under the Loan Agreements.
2.2 |
Exclusivity
|
2.2.1 HOMI
hereby undertakes not to obtain external, third party non-convertible debt
financing from any party other than Solog, at any time during the Term of this
Agreement, said undertaking being subject to Solog’s fulfilling all of its
undertakings herein. For
avoidance of any doubt: (i) HOMI will be free to raise funds by any other means,
in its discretion, even during the Term of this Agreement, including, without
limitation, by means of equity investments, rights issues, options, or any
instruments convertible into any of the foregoing; (ii) in territories in which
HOMI, or any subsidiary of HOMI anywhere in the world (each, a “Subsidiary”), has
and/or shall have one or more partners, who may be obliged and/or entitled to
contribute loans towards the funding of such company’s operations and/or the
purchase and/or operation of Minibars thereby, any such contribution of loans by
said partners, if at all, shall not be deemed external debt financing under this
Agreement and Solog’s undertaking pursuant to Section 2.1 above shall apply
fully, without regard to any such partners; (iii) debt financing to HOMI by any
shareholder of HOMI that is the registered and/or beneficial owner of at least
4% of HOMI’s issued and outstanding share capital at that time, and/or by any
company in which HOMI owns at least 50.1% of the issued and outstanding share
capital, shall not be deemed external debt financing under this Agreement,
provided that such debt financing is funded entirely with such shareholder
and/or such company’s own funds and not in any part with funds loaned to such
shareholder and/or such company by a third party.
2.2.2 Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 2.2.1 above, in the event that, at any given time
during the Term of this Agreement:
2.2.2.1 any
proceedings seeking to declare Solog bankrupt, or insolvent, or seeking
liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement with creditors, composition
of debts or any other similar proceedings shall be initiated against Solog or
any resolution shall be passed by Solog for the appointment of a liquidator,
administrator or receiver of, or for the winding up of Solog, and in any such
case, such resolution or proceeding shall not be dismissed within thirty (30)
days; and/or
2.2.2.2 Solog
sells all or substantially all of its assets or is acquired by another entity by
means of merger, consolidation or other transaction resulting in the exchange of
the outstanding shares of Solog’s capital stock such that the stockholders of
Solog prior to such transaction own, directly or indirectly, less than 50% of
the voting power of the surviving entity; then
HOMI shall forthwith be deemed released of any further obligation under Section
2.2.1above, such that it shall in all cases be free to obtain even external,
third party non-convertible debt financing from any party other than Solog,
provided that HOMI shall be entitled, in its discretion, to decide to draw-down
Financing, during the period in which said event or events still prevail and/or,
in the case of Section 2.2.1 above, at such time as such events may no longer
prevail, whether from Solog or, in the case of Section 2.2.2.2 above, from the
surviving entity, in which case any such Financing subsequently provided to HOMI
shall continue to be governed by this Agreement and HOMI’s obligation under
Section 2.2.1above shall be reinstated and the provisions of Section 2.1 above
shall continue to apply, such that if Solog (or the post-merger surviving
entity) shall be in breach of the provisions of Section 2.1 above, then the
provisions of Section 5.2.2 below shall apply. Any such decision by HOMI to
recommence draw-down of Financing subsequent to the occurrence of one or more of
the events set forth in Sections 2.2.2.1 to 2.2.2.2 above, shall in no way
derogate from the Parties’ respective rights and obligations under the Loan
Agreements.
2.2.3 For the
Term of this Agreement enters into effect, Solog undertakes not to provide,
directly or indirectly, any financing and/or refinancing, to any entity other
than HOMI (or a post-merger entity pursuant to Section 2.1.2.3 above), howsoever
in connection with and/or for the purpose of outsource operation of minibars in
hotels, and for a period of at least two calendar years following the execution
of this Agreement Solog undertakes not to engage, directly or indirectly, in the
outsource operation of minibars in hotels.
2.3 |
Specified
Purpose of the Financing |
The
Financing will be used by HOMI for the purpose of the purchase and/or operation
of Minibars which are already or which will be installed in hotels in various
countries around the world (each, a “Hotel”) and
serviced by HOMI, or a Subsidiary, under outsource service agreements with
Hotels (the “Service
Agreements”) and/or
to refinance, in whole or in part, HOMI investments in the purchase and/or
operation of Minibars that were, or will be, purchased and/or operated by HOMI
or a Subsidiary with its other funds (the “Specified
Purpose”).
2.4 |
Nature
and Terms of Financing |
The
Financing will be provided directly by Solog, or through any company directly
and/or indirectly owned and/or controlled by Solog, in the form of loans to
HOMI, or, at HOMI’s direction, to any Subsidiary, provided however that any such
loan granted to any such Subsidiary shall hereby be deemed unconditionally
guaranteed by HOMI. HOMI hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of
payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of
the Subsidiary, any right to require a hearing first against the Subsidiary, and
all demands whatsoever, and covenants that HOMI’s obligations hereunder will not
be discharged except by the payment in full of the Subsidiary’s obligations and
the performance of all obligations contained in the Loan Agreement and in this
Agreement. HOMI’s guarantee of payment hereunder shall remain in full force and
effect and be binding upon HOMI until payment in full by the Subsidiary and/or
HOMI to Solog of all its obligations. HOMI shall indemnify Solog fully on its
demand in respect of all expenses, liabilities and losses which are suffered or
incurred by Solog, as a result of or in connection with the Subsidiary’s Event
of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and in the event of any failure
(for whatever reason) by the Subsidiary to make payment of any amount due under
the Loan Agreement or the Security Documents on the due date or, if so payable,
on demand. The exercise of any of Solog’s rights with respect to such Subsidiary
shall not relieve HOMI of such guarantee nor will it constitute a waiver or
diminish Solog’s right to demand strict compliance of the Subsidiary’s
commitments hereunder from HOMI, as guarantor, and each such loan (a
“Loan”) will
be subject to a Loan Agreement as set forth in Section 2.5.4 below.
2.5 |
Mechanism
for Drawing Down Loans |
2.5.1 With
respect to any particular Service Agreement between HOMI (or a Subsidiary) and a
Hotel, HOMI will be entitled, in its discretion, and subject only to the prior
satisfaction by HOMI of the preconditions set forth in the Loan Agreement and
the provisions of Section 2.1.2 above, to draw down part of the Financing, in
the form of a Loan in an amount equal to the number of rooms in which Minibars
will be and/or have been installed at that Hotel multiplied by up to $1,000 to
be decided in HOMI’s discretion. In connection with each and any Service
Agreement, HOMI will be entitled to decide, in its discretion, whether the
purchase and/or operation of all of the Minibars under that Service Agreement
will be funded through the Financing, or whether some or all of said Minibars
will be purchased and/or operated with HOMI’s working capital and/or surplus
cash-flow and or other sources of funding of the kind set forth in Section
2.2.1(i) above.
2.5.2 Attached
hereto as Exhibit 2.5.2 is HOMI’s preliminary estimate of a possible schedule
for utilization of Financing, to be used for the Specified Purpose as defined
herein, assuming HOMI elects to utilize all of the Financing (the “Preliminary
Estimate”). The
Preliminary Estimate is not binding in any way whatsoever. HOMI will be entitled
to draw-down the Financing according to its actual needs, in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement, and the amount and timing of such draw-downs,
individually and/or cumulatively, may be higher or lower, earlier or later than
those shown in the Preliminary Estimate, provided that they are in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement. HOMI will notify Solog, upon request from
Solog no more than once per quarter, of any material changes to the amounts and
dates contained in the Preliminary Notice, all of which amendments, if any, will
continue to be subject to the foregoing.
2.5.3 Once HOMI
has decided to make a draw-down of Financing in respect of a Service Agreement
with a Hotel, HOMI will deliver to Solog a Draw-Down Notice in the form attached
as Exhibit 2.5.3 hereto (the “Draw-Down
Notice”), in
which HOMI will notify Solog of the quantity of rooms in respect of which the
draw-down is being made, an estimation of the commencement of installation at
the Hotel (to the extent the draw-down is being taken for new installations),
the term of the Service Agreement, the identity of the Subsidiary that is
drawing down the Loan, the amount of the Loan and the bank account details (the
“Loan
Deposit Account”), into
which Solog will deposit the Loan, no later than a specified date, which will be
a date at least 60 days after delivery of the Draw-Down Notice (the
“Draw-Down
Date”). HOMI
will endeavor to minimize the number of Loan Deposit Accounts, with a view to
achieving a situation, where reasonable, where there is a single Loan Deposit
Account in each of the territories set forth in Section 4.2 below.
2.5.4 Upon
delivery of a Draw-Down Notice, the Parties will enter into a Loan agreement for
the amount and in accordance with the details contained in the Draw-Down Notice,
and this agreement shall, unless, and only to the extent, otherwise agreed in
writing by both Parties, if at all, be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
2.5.4 and provided that if such loan agreement is not actually signed by the
Parties, for whatever reason, within 14 days of the delivery of the Draw-Down
Notice, then the Parties will be deemed to have entered into a loan agreement
for the amount and in accordance with the details contained in the Draw-Down
Notice, pursuant to the form of loan agreement set forth in said Exhibit 2.5.4
(in each case, the “Loan
Agreement”). Once
the Loan Agreement has been made, or deemed made, then Solog shall make the Loan
available to HOMI, no later than the Draw-Down Date, subject only to the prior
satisfaction by HOMI of the preconditions set forth in the Loan Agreement and
the provisions of Section 2.1 above.
2.6 |
Initial
Loans under the Financing |
Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 2.5 above, it is hereby agreed that the procedure for
the draw-down of the first $675,000 of the Financing (the “Initial
Loans”) will
be as follows:
2.6.1 On the
date of execution of this Agreement, Solog
will wire to HOMI’s bank account No. 0605079633 at HSBC Republic Bank, a
division of HSBC Bank USA, in the branch located at 000, Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx,
XX 00000, SWIFT Code XXXXXX00 (the “Account”) the
sum of $675,000, which will be funded entirely from Solog’s readily available
funds. This
Initial Loan shall be in accordance with and subject to Draw-Down Notices and
Loan Agreements in the forms attached hereto as and
Exhibit 2.6.1a and Exhibit 2.6.1b respectively, which the relevant Parties shall
execute concurrently with the execution of this Agreement.
2.6.2 In
respect of utilization by HOMI of the first $2.65 million of Financing,
including the Initial Loans under this Section 2.6 above, the Specified Purpose
shall be deemed to also include the repayment by HOMI of any existing debt,
including but not limited to bank loans and shareholder loans of any kind
whatsoever, plus interest payments.
3. |
Options
to Purchase Shares |
For each
$1 million Financing that has been completed by Solog, Solog will be entitled to
receive non-assignable, non-transferable options to purchase 300,000 shares of
HOMI’s common stock, at a price of $0.65 per share, which options may be
exercised by cash payment upon 45 days’ advance written notice to HOMI, at any
time within a period ending on the third anniversary of the date of this
Agreement, all subject to SEC regulations and restrictions and applicable law
(“Options”). Solog
shall have the right for two "demand registrations" of any common stock
exercised under the Options, at Solog’s expense. Solog shall also be entitled to
unlimited piggyback registration rights, at Solog’s expense subject to any
applicable cutbacks (on a pro rata basis), SEC regulations and restrictions and
applicable law.
4. |
Security
|
4.1 |
Charge;
HOMI Deed of Assignment |
As
security and collateral for the full and timely fulfillment of all of HOMI’s
undertakings pursuant to each Loan Agreement, including the repayment of said
Loan provided by Solog to HOMI and the due payment of any Interest thereon, on
the Repayment Dates (as defined in the Loan Agreement), HOMI will
grant Solog: (I) a first degree fixed security interest in, and lien upon (a)
all of the Minibars whose purchase and/or operation was funded and/or refinanced
by such Loan (“Financing
Minibars”)
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1a (the “Charge”), and
(b) with respect to any given month, the portion of revenues generated by said
Financing Minibars and received by HOMI, from the applicable Hotel, that is
required to be repaid (principal and interest) on the Loan, as set forth in the
Loan Agreement, (to be termed hereinafter, the “Minibar
Revenues”); and
(II) an assignment by way of security in favor of Solog of all of the Minibar
Revenues in the Designated Account substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit 4.1b (“HOMI
Deed of Assignment”) (in
respect of each Loan in respect of which they are given, the Charge and HOMI
Deed of Assignment shall be referred to collectively as the “Security
Documents”). The
Security Documents will be subject to adjustment and/or amendment as may be
necessary in order to comply with custom and practise under applicable law in
the jurisdiction in which they are to be registered, provided however that the
substance of the document will be retained and will not be materially changed.
Solog is aware that, at the same Hotel at which the Financing Minibars mentioned
in (I)(a) above are located, there may be other Minibars, funded in whole or in
part by one or more partners or affiliates of HOMI as set forth in Section 2.2
above, upon which a first degree or other security interest and/or lien may be
granted to such partner(s) and/or affiliate(s).
4.2 |
Designated
Account; Bank Directions; Hotel
Directions |
It is
hereby agreed that there will be a single designated bank account belonging to
HOMI or the applicable Subsidiary, whose details HOMI undertakes to deliver to
Solog, for all
revenues generated by all Financing Minibars, in each of the following
territories in which HOMI conducts its business: Europe, Africa, South-East Asia
and North America - USA (each of such accounts shall be referred to as a
“Designated
Account”). It is
further agreed that with respect to any given month, the portion of funds in the
Designated Account required for the accumulated repayments of the principal and
interest, under all outstanding Loans for Hotels in that territory at that
specific month, will be encumbered in Solog’s favor. HOMI or the applicable
Subsidiary will deliver to each bank that holds a Designated Account one or more
sets of irrevocable directions, following Loan Agreements as entered into from
time to time, (the “Bank
Directions”) which,
in total, direct the bank to pay to Solog, each month, from the Designated
Account, a sum equal to the total of all the monthly repayments, principal and
interest, due for that month, on all outstanding Loans in that territory in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2a (for each territory, “Solog’s
Monthly Repayments”). Solog
shall open a counterpart account in the same branch and bank holding each
Designated Account to which Solog’s Monthly Repayments shall be transferred
pursuant to the Bank Directions. HOMI
will likewise deliver, to each Hotel at which the Financing Minibars in that
territory are located, irrevocable directions (the “Hotel
Directions”) to
deposit all sums owing to HOMI, or its Subsidiary, under the Service Agreement,
into the Designated Account, including, without limitation, any and all revenues
from operation of said Financing Minibars and any payments under any and all
insurance policies in respect of said Financing Minibars, all in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2b.
4.3 |
Initial
Loans |
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in respect of the Initial Loans, the term “Financing Minibars”
shall be deemed as referring to the Minibars set forth in Exhibit 4.3 hereto and
the provisions of Sections 4.1 and 4.2 above shall apply mutatis
mutandis.
5. |
Term
and Termination; Breach |
5.1 |
Term
and Termination |
This
Agreement shall enter into force after being signed by both Parties and approved
by their respective Boards of Directors, and shall then remain in force until
the earlier to occur of (i) the entire Financing, in the amount of $10 million,
having been loaned to HOMI by Solog, or (ii) the two year anniversary of the
date this Agreement enters into force, at which time this Agreement shall
terminate (the “Term
of this Agreement”). Solog
shall not be under any commitment to advance any portion of the Financing after
the expiry of the Term of this Agreement or upon the earlier termination of
Solog’s undertaking pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.1 above and HOMI
shall not be under any commitment of exclusivity towards Solog after the expiry
of the Term of this Agreement or upon the earlier termination of HOMI’s
undertaking pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2 above. Subject to
applicable law, this Agreement may not be terminated by either Party at any time
during the Term of this Agreement and it is specifically agreed that it may not
be terminated on the grounds of its being breached by either Party.
5.2 |
Breach
|
5.2.1 In the
event of HOMI obtaining external, third party non-convertible debt financing
from a party other than Solog, during the Term of this Agreement, in
contravention of Section 2.2 above, which breach is not cured by HOMI within 15
days of written notice of the breach being issued by Solog, then Solog’s sole
remedies in respect of such breach, to the exclusion of all other remedies,
shall be as follows, subject to which the Agreement shall continue in force and
effect:
5.2.1.1 Solog
shall forthwith be deemed released of any further obligation under Section 2.1.1
above, such that it shall not then be obliged to provide any further part of the
Financing that was not actually loaned already to, and received by, HOMI, and
the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 2.1.2 above shall apply, mutatis
mutandis;
5.2.1.2 the
manner of repayment of any existing or future Loans in the context of the
Financing will change, such that the monthly repayments of $15 per month per
$1,000 of Loans, as set forth in the respective Loan Agreements, will be deemed
adjusted up to $18 per month per $1,000 of Loans, principal and interest
together, for the balance of the term of repayment under the respective Loan
Agreements;
5.2.1.3 HOMI will
be obliged to pay Solog liquidated damages in an amount equal to 12.5% of
whatever portion of the Financing was not actually loaned already to, and
received by, HOMI.
5.2.2 In the
event of Solog not providing HOMI with part of the Financing in the amount and
on the date specified in a Draw-Down Notice, in contravention of Section 2.1
above, which breach is not cured by Solog within 15 days of written notice of
the breach being issued by HOMI, then HOMI’s sole remedies in respect of such
breach, to the exclusion of all other remedies, shall be as follows, subject to
which the Agreement shall continue in force and effect:
5.2.2.1 HOMI
shall forthwith be deemed released of any obligation under Section 2.2 above and
the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 2.2.2 above shall apply, mutatis
mutandis;
5.2.2.2 the
manner of repayment of any existing or future Loans in the context of the
Financing will change, such that the monthly repayments of $15 per month per
$1,000 of Loans, as set forth in the respective Loan Agreements, will be deemed
adjusted down to $12 per month per $1,000 of Loans, principal and interest
together, for the balance of the term of repayment under the respective Loan
Agreements, and this will be deemed full and final repayment of such
Loans;
5.2.2.3 Solog
will be obliged to pay HOMI liquidated damages in an amount equal to 12.5% of
whatever portion of the Financing was not yet actually funded to, and received
by, HOMI.
5.2.3 For
avoidance of doubt, it is hereby stipulated that default under any particular
Loan Agreement shall carry the consequences stipulated in that Loan Agreement
and shall be deemed to be a default under that Loan agreement, but it shall not
be deemed a breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Agreement.
5.2.4 The
Parties confirm that the liquidated damages as set forth in Sections 5.2.1.3 and
5.2.2.3 respectively will be payable without the need to evidence actual damage,
and that they reasonably reflect the extent of damage which the Parties
anticipate could be caused to the injured Party, respectively, in such
circumstances.

Subsidiary, as set forth in Section 2.4 above, or (ii) Solog’s
right to provide any part of the Financing through any company owned and
controlled by Solog, provided however that in each such instance Solog shall be
deemed to have unconditionally guaranteed all the obligations of such company in

guarantee pursuant to Section 2.4 above, mutatis mutandis.
