ATTACHMENT 1
EXHIBIT I
LANDLORD AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of , 200 , by (hereinafter “Landlord”), in favor of COMERICA BANK, a Michigan banking corporation (hereinafter referred to as “Comerica”).
Recitals:
Landlord is the landlord under a certain lease (as at any time amended, the “Lease”) dated , 200 between Landlord and Interactive Health LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Company”), covering certain business premises located at , as more fully described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Leased Premises”).
Comerica has been requested to extend loans and other accommodations to Company, and, as a condition to extending such loans and other financial accommodations, Comerica has required that Company grant to Comerica a security interest in, among other things, all inventory, machinery, equipment, furniture and fixtures of Company, whether now owned or hereafter acquired and all substitutions and replacements thereof (“Collateral”), a portion of which Collateral is, or may be located from time to time on or about or affixed to the Leased Premises.
NOW, THEREFORE, for TEN DOLLARS ($10.00) in hand paid to Landlord and in order to induce Comerica to extend financial accommodations to or for the benefit of Company in Comerica’s sole discretion, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord hereby agrees with Comerica as follows:
1. Landlord acknowledges the validity of Comerica’s security interest in all of the Collateral and agrees that Comerica’s security interests in the Collateral shall be superior to any interest which the Landlord may at any time have therein. For so long as Comerica has a security interest in any of the Collateral, Landlord will not assert against any of the Collateral any statutory, common law, contractual or possessory lien, including, without limitation, any right of levy or distraint for rent, all of which Landlord hereby subordinates in favor of Comerica.
2. Landlord agrees that the Collateral may be stored, utilized, and/or installed at the Premises and that none of the Collateral shall be deemed a fixture or a part of the Leased Premises, but shall at all times be considered personal property, whether or not any Collateral becomes so related to the real estate that an interest therein would otherwise arise under applicable law and Landlord disclaims any interest in the Collateral as fixtures.
3. Landlord agrees that Comerica may enter upon the Leased Premises at any time or times, during normal business hours, to inspect or remove any of the Collateral therefrom, without charge. Comerica shall repair any physical damage directly caused to the Leased Premises by such removal. Landlord will not hinder Comerica’s actions in enforcing its liens and remedies with respect to the Collateral. Landlord agrees that Comerica may conduct public or private sales of Collateral at the Leased Premises and that interested parties will be permitted access to the Leased Premises during normal business hours for the purpose of inspecting the Collateral prior to any such sale.
4. Landlord will notify Comerica at One Detroit Center, 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, XX 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: , or at such other address as Comerica shall hereafter specify in writing, in the event that Company defaults in its obligations under the Lease, and Landlord shall allow Comerica, at Comerica’s option, without obligation, a period of fifteen (15) days from Comerica’s receipt of such notice in which to cure or cause Company to cure any defaults. Landlord will permit the Collateral to remain on the Leased Premises for a period of up to ninety (90) days following receipt by Comerica of written notice from Landlord that Landlord has terminated the Lease and directing removal of the Collateral, subject, however, to the payment to Landlord by Comerica of the regular installments of rent due under the Lease for the period of time during which Comerica shall elect to use or occupy the Leased Premises or elect to keep the Collateral thereon without abandoning same, which rent shall be pro-rated on a per diem basis determined on a 30-day month. Comerica shall not be deemed to have assumed nor shall it be liable for any unperformed or unpaid obligations of Company under the Lease, other than for the payment of rent described in the preceding sentence.
5. Comerica’s right to use and occupy the Premises under Sections 3 and 4 of this Agreement shall be extended for the time period that Comerica is prohibited from foreclosing its security interest in the Collateral and Landlord is prohibited from removing same from the Leased Premises by virtue of any injunction or restraining order or by the imposition of the automatic stay arising from the commencement of bankruptcy by or against the Company, and during the period of any such prohibition Comerica shall not be obligated to pay any rent.
6. This Agreement shall irrevocably remain in full force and effect until all obligations of Company to Comerica have been paid and satisfied in full and Comerica has terminated its financing agreements with Company.
7. The provisions of this Agreement may not be modified or terminated orally, and shall be binding upon the successors, assigns and representatives of the Landlord, and upon any successor owner or transferee of the Leased Premises, and shall inure to the benefit of Comerica and its successors and assigns. Landlord hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Agreement by Comerica.
8. The laws of the State of Michigan shall govern the validity, interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord has executed this Agreement on the date first above written.
