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 $90,000 (ninety thousand US dollars) (the “Loan”), being approximately equivalent to $240 for each of the Bartech™ Units ($240 x 96 = $23,040) and $350 for each of the HOMI® Units ($350 x 192 = $67,200), it being understood that these amounts were computed on the basis of the Units not being brand new, whereas if they had been brand new the amount of loan per HOMI® Unit would have been $500.

 

1.2

If and when HOMI decides to install EDS at the Hotel, Lender agrees to increase the Loan by an amount equal to $60 per EDS so installed, up to a total of 100 EDS. If HOMI installs more than 100 EDS at the Hotel, then the additional EDS, over and above 100 EDS financed by Lender, shall not be deemed part of the Minibar System and shall not be subject to this Agreement in any way.

 

1.3

The Loan will be made available to HOMI, by means of several SWIFT wire transfers to HOMI’s account No. 725000/52 at Bank Leumi, branch No. 809. IBAN: IL690108090000072500052, either in US Dollars or, in Lender’s discretion, in New Israeli Shekels according to the Dollar/Shekel Representative Rate of Exchange last published prior to the transfer directions being given by Lender, as follows:

 

a.	$55,000 no later than March 15, 2012;

 

b.	$35,000 no later than August 15, 2012;

 

c.	Any increase in the Loan resulting from the installation of EDS at the hotel pursuant to Section ‎1.2 above, will be deemed loaned to HOMI as of such installation, and the amount of such increase in the Loan will be set off against the monthly payments to Lender as detailed in this Agreement below.

 

 

1.4	For each of the instalments of the Loan as set forth above, the “Loan Date” shall be the date that part of the Loan is made available to HOMI.

 

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 1 April 2012:

 

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, including from EDS, if and when installed (“HOMI’s Invoice to the Hotel”), which the Hotel is obliged to pay to the Affiliate under the Outsource Agreement (“Net Revenues from Hotel”).

 

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 (we expect a maximum of 1.5 workers) (any material increases will be substantiated by HOMI in writing), (iii) maintenance fees of $0.06 per minibar per day plus $0.01 per EDS 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.

During a period commencing as of 1 April 2012 and ending as of 30 September 2016, 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, towards repayment of the Loan, and, commencing 1 October 2012, in any event no less than $2,000 per month.

 

d.

During a period commencing as of 1 October 2016 and ending as of 30 September 2019, HOMI will pay to Lender a sum equal to 50% of the entire amount by which Net Revenues from Hotel shall exceed Operational Payments, if at all, towards repayment of the Loan, but with no guaranteed monthly minimum payment; 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.

 

e.	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, by means of swift wire transfer to Lender’s account No [_____], at the [_____] Branch (No. [_____]) of Bank [_____] (No. [_____]).

 

2.3	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’.

 

2.4

HOMI shall effect the payments to Lender pursuant to Section ‎2.2 above until 30 September 2019, at which time the Loan shall be deemed repaid in full. Initially, all payments made to Lender hereunder shall go towards repayment of the principal of the Loan. If and when the aggregate total of such repayments exceeds the principal of the Loan, such repayments shall be deemed interest on the Loan (“Interest”).

 

2.5

If the Outsource Agreement is terminated before 30 September 2019 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 3 months of its removal from the Hotel.

 

2.6

If reinstallation was not performed within said 3 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 Section ‎2.2 above.

 

 

3.	Specified Purpose of Loan

 

 

3.1

The Parties hereby confirm and agree that HOMI requested the Loan for the sole purpose of using all of said Loan to finance its activity in the ordinary course of business, including making financing available to one or more of its subsidiaries and/or affiliates, to finance their activity in the ordinary course of business (the “Specified Purpose”).

 

3.2	HOMI hereby undertakes to use the Loan solely for the Specified Purpose and not to use any part of the Loan for any purpose other than the Specified Purpose.

 

3.3	HOMI hereby recognizes and acknowledges that Lender’s consent to make the Loan to HOMI in accordance with the terms hereof is inter alia subject to and in reliance upon HOMI’s undertaking as set forth in Section ‎3.2 above, which is a fundamental condition of this Agreement.

 

4.	Events of Default

4.2

for the avoidance of doubt it is hereby stipulated and emphasized that it is the fundamental obligation and undertaking of HOMI to repay the Loan, in its entirety, and failure by HOMI to repay the Loan in its entirety shall be considered an Event of Default, regardless of the reason for such failure;

 

4.3	HOMI shall default in the performance of any material covenant or obligation contained herein and such default is not remedied within thirty (30) days of HOMI’s receiving written notice from Lender of the occurrence thereof;

 

4.4	HOMI uses and/or attempts and/or permits use of the Loan, or any part thereof, for any purpose other than the Specified Purpose;

 

4.5	any representation or warranty made by or on behalf of HOMI to Lender, howsoever in connection with the Loan and/or this Agreement, shall at any time prove to have been materially incorrect or misleading;

 

4.6

any judgment materially affecting the ability of HOMI to repay the Loan and pay the Interest shall be entered against HOMI or any attachment, levy or execution against a substantial portion of its properties shall remain unpaid, or shall not be released, discharged, dismissed, suspended or stayed for a period of thirty (30) days or more after its entry, issue or levy, as the case may be;

 

4.7	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, and such proceeding shall not be dismissed within thirty (30) days;

 

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

 

5.	Security and Collateral

 

5.1

As security and collateral for the full and timely repayment of the Loan and Interest 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.

 

5.2

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and for as long as said Event of Default remains uncured, Lender may, without prejudice to any and all other rights, remedies and/or relief to which Lender may be entitled by law, exercise and realize any and all security interests and/or collateral granted to Lender by HOMI pursuant to the terms hereof, including the security and collateral as set forth in Section ‎5.1 above, without in any way derogating from HOMI’s obligation to pay to Lender any and all sums still owed by HOMI to Lender pursuant to the terms hereof even after said actions by the Lender.

 

 

5.3

HOMI hereby recognizes, acknowledges and agrees 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 actions, of any kind whatsoever, against Lender, in this regard.

 

5.4

HOMI undertakes, from time to time forthwith upon a Lender’s demand, in order to guarantee Lender’s rights with respect to any current and/or and future creditors, to take any action and sign any instrument and/or form and/or agreement as per Lender’s request, in the event Lender and/or HOMI believes that any laws by which it or its assets are bound require such action or signature in order to accord full validity to the Collateral, against the whole world.

 

5.5	If HOMI and/or the Affiliate cease to operate as a solvent, going concern, and Lender exercises its rights in the Collateral, thereby taking title in the Minibar System, then HOMI shall cause Affiliate to grant its consent to an assignment of the Outsource Agreement, to Lender.

 

6.	HOMI’s General Covenants
