EXHIBIT 10.16
COLLATERAL REPURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS COLLATERAL REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and
entered into this 29th day of May, 1996 by and among KRISPY KREME DOUGHNUT
CORPORATION, a North Carolina corporation, with its principal office and place
of business at 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx-Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx,
00000 ("Krispy Kreme"), MIDWEST DOUGHNUTS, L.L.C., a North Carolina limited
liability company (the "Borrower") and THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF OLATHE (the
"Bank").
R E C I T A L S :
1. The Borrower has requested a loan from the Bank to finance the
purchase of certain equipment, signage, furniture and fixtures for use
at the Krispy Kreme Doughnut Shop to be established by Borrower at 4242
X. Xxxxxx Road, Independence, Missouri.
2. The Bank has agreed to lend to Borrower Nine Hundred Five
Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($905,000.00) secured in part by a security
interest in the Equipment (as defined below) (the "Bank Loan") as
evidenced by the Note (as defined below); and
3. Therefore, the parties desire to enter into this Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
herein contained, the parties hereto do agree as follows:
1. A copy of the Note is attached hereto as EXHIBIT A and
incorporated herein by reference (the "Note")
2. Bank shall provide Krispy Kreme with a copy of any notice to
Borrower declaring a default under the Note and demanding payment in
full and a copy of any notice to Borrower after which Bank will
exercise its remedies under the Note. Such copies shall be sent to
Krispy Kreme within three (3) business days of the sending of the same
to Borrower.
3. In the event of a default under the Note, as long as Bank has
fully complied with the terms of this Agreement, Bank shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to demand by notice to Krispy Kreme (the
"Notification") that Krispy Kreme repurchase the Equipment at a price
equal to the lesser of (i) the original purchase price thereof or (ii)
the unpaid balance of the applicable portion of the Bank Loan (the
"Unpaid Balance"). Such lesser amount is sometimes herein referred to
as the "Purchase Price". The parties acknowledge that the Bank Loan is
for Borrower's entire project for purchase of real property and the
construction, equipping and fixturing of a Krispy Kreme Doughnut Shop
thereon and includes, but is not limited to, the purchase of the
Equipment. Consequently,
2
the unpaid Bank Loan balance will be prorated in relationship to the
amount of the Loan for the purchase of the Equipment to determine the
Unpaid Balance as such term is used in this Agreement. For example, in
the event the purchase price of the Equipment is $300,000 and the Bank
Loan is $900,000, then the Unpaid Balance, for purposes of this
Agreement, shall be equal to one-third (1/3) of the actual unpaid
balance of the Bank Loan at the time of the Notification. Borrower's
equity in its project in the amount of One Hundred Twenty Thousand and
00/100 Dollars ($120,000) will be deemed a down payment on the purchase
of its real estate for purposes of computing the above-referenced
proration.
4. The parties acknowledge and agree that any default by Borrower
under the Note or any other documents related to the Bank Loan, whether
or not waived by the Bank, shall, at the option of Krispy Kreme,
constitute a default under the Franchise Agreement, Development
Agreement and any and all other agreements between Borrower and Krispy
Kreme.
5. The liability of Krispy Kreme hereunder shall be subject to,
and conditioned upon, full and complete compliance by Bank with the
following:
(a) Bank shall obtain and perfect a first priority security
interest in the Equipment (the "Security Interest") and shall
continuously maintain such perfected Security Interest from the
moment Borrower acquires any interest in the Equipment. All
filings and indicia of such Security Interest shall state that
they are subject to the terms of this Agreement.
(b) Bank shall notify Krispy Kreme of each advance under
the Bank Loan for any purchase of Equipment not from Krispy Kreme
within thirty (30) days after such advance is made and Krispy
Kreme's obligations to Bank hereunder shall be reduced by the
amount of any advances for which Krispy Kreme does not receive
such notice.
(c) The Security Interest shall be perfected separate and
apart from any other security interest of Bank in and to any and
all other property of Borrower.
(d) Any transfer of the Security Interest or any interest
therein to any other party shall provide that it is subject to
the terms of this Agreement and the transferee thereof shall
enter into an agreement with Krispy Kreme agreeing to abide by
the terms hereof.
(e) Bank shall not release the Security Interest in the
Equipment nor shall Bank take any action, or fail to take any
action, which action or failure to act will compromise or
diminish the Security Interest in any way. Provided, however,
Bank may release the Security Interest in portions of the
Equipment if Bank, at Bank's election, either (i) fully releases
Krispy Kreme from liability under this Agreement or (ii)
determines that Borrower reasonably desires to replace the
Equipment with
3
new or different equipment (the "New Equipment") of value and
function comparable to that in which the Security Interest is
to be released and ensures that the New Equipment is obtained
by Borrower prior to such release and that the Security
Interest applies to such New Equipment as a first priority
Security Interest. Upon such replacement, the New Equipment
shall be deemed to be "Equipment" under this Agreement. Bank
shall provide notice to Krispy Kreme of any such release and
shall provide Krispy Kreme with a list of the New Equipment
and evidence that the Security Interest applies thereto.
6. Upon election by Bank to require repurchase of the Equipment
by Krispy Kreme hereunder, Bank shall assign and transfer the Security
Interest to Krispy Kreme or such entity as Krispy Kreme may designate
in writing. In no event shall the Security Interest be permitted to
merge with ownership of the Equipment.
7. Except as permitted under subparagraph 5(e) hereof, Borrower
shall not sell or transfer, and Bank shall not consent to the sale or
transfer, whether by gift or with or without consideration, of all or
any part of the Equipment. Bank shall not sell or transfer the
Equipment or any portion thereof through exercise of its rights under
the Bank Loan and any documents executed in connection therewith, or
otherwise, without first giving Krispy Kreme the option to purchase the
Equipment in an amount equal to the Purchase Price. Bank shall provide
notice to Krispy Kreme of its proposed transfer and thirty (30) days in
which to exercise its right to purchase said Equipment. At the time
Krispy Kreme purchases the Equipment, Bank shall also transfer the
Security Interest as provided under Paragraph 6 above. In no event
shall the Security Interest be permitted to merge with ownership of the
Equipment.
8. As used herein, the term Equipment shall mean all furniture,
fixtures, equipment, doughnut making equipment and signage purchased by
Borrower and reasonably necessary for the operation of a Krispy Kreme
Doughnut Shop to be located at 0000 X. Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxx, and as to which the Security Interest is effective. Krispy
Kreme must approve the purchase of each item of Equipment.
9. Borrower consents and agrees to the terms of this Agreement
and agrees to transfer the Equipment to Krispy Kreme immediately and at
the same time as Krispy Kreme makes a payment of the Purchase Price to
Bank or at the time Krispy Kreme elects to purchase the Equipment under
Paragraph 7 hereof or as otherwise provided herein. Any such transfer
shall be free and clear of all liens, claims or interests other than
the Security Interest. In no event shall the Security Interest be
permitted to merge with ownership of the Equipment.
10. A partial list of the Equipment is attached as EXHIBIT B
hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The parties agree to amend
such list as each item of Equipment is purchased, upon the completion
of the purchase of the Equipment, and again upon the purchase of any
New Equipment. No New Equipment shall be considered a part of the
Equipment until added to this EXHIBIT B.

11. All notices required or desired to be sent hereunder shall be
sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or
by a recognized overnight courier such as Airborne Express, FedEx, etc.
and shall be effective on receipt. Any party may change the address for
notices to it by notice sent in accordance herewith. Notices shall be

benefit of, the parties hereto and to the successors and assigns of

other with a copy of any assignment of this Agreement. Any such
assignment by Bank may be whole or partial, shall only be to a holder
