NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

AGREEMENT

 

1. Acknowledgement. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the recitals herein above are true and correct, that the indebtedness evidenced by the Note were immediately due and owing to the Noteholder as a result of an Event of Default (as defined in the Note, pursuant to Note Section 3.17) prior to the Maturity Date without offset, defense or counterclaim, and that the Note and the other Transaction Documents, are valid, binding and fully enforceable according to their terms. The Company further acknowledges that all necessary action to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement has been taken and that this Agreement is a forbearance relating to an existing obligation and is not a novation. The Company represents that it is unaware of any other defaults or non-compliance under the Transaction Documents other than the Asset Purchase Non-Compliance.

 

2. Execution of Agreement. The Noteholder’s agreement to forbear is expressly conditioned upon receipt of a copy of this Agreement executed by the Company by February 18, 2020. Unless and until the Company executes and returns this Agreement to the Noteholder by such date and the Noteholder signs this Agreement, the Noteholder shall have no obligation to forbear and the Noteholder shall continue to be entitled to immediately exercise all rights and remedies available to it before, on or after the Maturity Date.

3. Forbearance. The Noteholder and the Company agree that so long as the Company complies with the terms of this Agreement, and so long as no additional Event of Default (as defined in Section 7 herein) occurs under the Transaction Documents or this Agreement, the Noteholder will forbear from exercising its remedies relating to the Asset Purchase Non-Compliance until March 25, 2020 (the “Forbearance Termination Date”). If an additional Event of Default under this Agreement or under any of the Transaction Documents occurs, all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and all costs and expenses arising out of the Transaction Documents shall be immediately due and payable in full without notice or demand, and the Noteholder shall be entitled to the immediate exercise of all rights and remedies available to it under the Transaction Documents. Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any default under the Transaction Documents or of the Noteholder’s rights or remedies under any other indebtedness now or hereafter existing between the Noteholder and the Company. On the Forbearance Termination Date, all amounts outstanding under the Note shall be due and payable to the Noteholder, and the Noteholder may, without further notice, exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it. This Agreement is being executed by the Noteholder to accommodate the request of the Company, and the Company understand and agrees that the Noteholder has no obligation to grant further forbearances in the future, nor to extend the Maturity Date.

 

4. Continued Performance. The Company shall continue to comply with all other terms of the Transaction Documents not specifically addressed herein.

 

5. Conditions. The Noteholder’s agreement hereunder is contingent upon the Company’s compliance with the conditions set forth in this Section 5:

 

5.1 On or before the Forbearance Termination Date, the Company shall purchase from the Noteholder the Fanchise Assets for (i) a purchase price equal to $435,000.00, if purchased prior to February 29, 2020, or (ii) a purchase price equal to $470,000.00, if purchased between March 1, 2020 and the Forbearance Termination Date.

 

5.2 The Company shall pay all remaining amounts owing under the Transaction Documents no later than the Forbearance Termination Date.

 

5.3 Prior to Forbearance Termination Date, the Company shall deliver to the Noteholder the legal fees due to the Noteholder’s counsel in connection with the preparation of this Agreement.

 

5.4 The Company agrees to notify the Noteholder immediately following the occurrence of any Event of Default, or any event or circumstance that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default.

8. Severability Of Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be impaired thereby; provided, however, that if the “General Release and Indemnity” provision hereof, or any portion thereof, is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the Noteholder may terminate this Agreement, the effect of which will be that all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and all costs and expenses arising out of the Transaction Documents shall be immediately due and payable in full without notice or demand and the Noteholder shall be entitled to the immediate exercise of all rights and remedies available to it under the Transaction Documents.
