THIS COLLATERAL REPURCHASE AGREEMENT, made as of the 25th day of
February, 1994 by and among XXXXXXX X. XXXXXX and wife, XXXXXXXX X. XXXXXX,
residents of Xxxxxxxx County, Mississippi (collectively, the "Borrower"); KRISPY
KREME DOUGHNUT CORPORATION, a North Carolina corporation (the "Company"); and
SOUTHERN NATIONAL BANK OF NORTH CAROLINA, a national banking institution
("SNB");
R E C I T A L S :
A. SNB has on this date extended credit to the Borrower in the
aggregate principal sum of One Million One Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100
Dollars ($1,150,000.00) (the "Indebtedness"), evidenced by (i) a Promissory Note
of even date executed and delivered by the Borrower to SNB in the principal sum
of Two Hundred Seventy Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($275,000.00) (the
"First Note"), and (ii) a Promissory Note of even date executed and delivered by
the Borrower to SNB in the principal sum of Eight Hundred Seventy Five Thousand
and No/100 Dollars ($875,000.00) (the "Second Note"; the First Note and the
Second Note are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "Notes").
B. The Indebtedness is secured, in part, by (i) a security interest in
favor of SNB in all of the machinery, equipment, furniture, fixtures, signage
and vehicles used by Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx (the "Associate") in his Krispy Kreme
franchise operations in Biloxi and Gulfport, Mississippi pursuant to Security
Agreement of even date herewith executed by and between the Borrower and SNB
(the "Security Agreement"); and (ii) a pledge by Xxxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx ("Pledgor")
of all of the common voting stock of the Company owned by Pledgor (the "Pledged
Stock"), pursuant to a Pledge Agreement of even date herewith executed by and
between Pledgor and SNB and consented to by the Associate (the "Pledge
Agreement"; the Pledge Agreement, the Security Agreement and all other
documents, instruments and agreements executed to evidence, create or secure the
Indebtedness are herein called the "Loan Documents").
C. The Company and the Associate on this date have entered into the
Amended and Restated Equipment Repurchase Agreement and Amendment to Associate's
License Agreement pursuant to which the Company has agreed upon termination of
the Associate's License Agreement and Addendum thereto dated February 25, 1992
between the Company and the Associate (as it may be amended) (the "License
Agreement") to purchase from the Associate all of his machinery, equipment,
furniture, fixtures, signage, vehicles and inventory (the "Equipment") for a
cash purchase price of $350,000.00.
D. The Pledged Stock is subject to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated
July 1, 1984 executed by and among the Company and its shareholders (as it may
be amended) (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), which Stock Purchase Agreement has
been consented and agreed to by Pledgor.
2
E. In order to induce SNB to make the loans giving rise to the
Indebtedness, the Company has agreed to purchase all or part of the Pledged
Stock and/or the Equipment in the event of a default under the First Note, the
Second Note, or any of the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
F. SNB has required the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
parties hereto as a condition to making the loans comprising the Indebtedness.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Election by SNB to Cause the Company to Purchase the Pledged Stock.
Upon a default under the First Note, the Second Note or any of the Loan
Documents (hereinafter referred to as a "Default"), SNB may give notice to the
Company and the Borrower, requiring the Company to purchase, and the Pledgor to
sell, the Pledged Stock in the following manner and upon the following terms.
The notice shall specify whether the purchase is to be made (a) from the Pledgor
prior to the commencement of proceedings by SNB to exercise its rights and
remedies as a secured party against the Pledged Stock, or (b) at a private sale
("Private Sale") conducted pursuant to the terms of the Pledge Agreement and
applicable law. For purposes of determining the time as of which such purchase
price is to be determined, the Pledgor and SNB agree that such notice shall
constitute written notice of a proposed transfer, disposition or sale of its
Pledged Stock under paragraph 2(a) of the Stock Purchase Agreement. At the
Closing (as defined in paragraph 3 hereof), the Company shall pay to SNB and not
to the Borrower or Pledgor, in United States dollars and in immediately
available funds, a purchase price determined in accordance with the Stock
Purchase Agreement. If the purchase price of the Pledged Stock is greater than
the then outstanding Indebtedness (including accrued but unpaid interest and all
other sums owed by Borrower to SNB pursuant to the terms of the Notes and the
Loan Documents), then the Company shall be required to purchase hereunder only
so much of the Pledged Stock as is necessary to pay in full the Indebtedness. In
consideration of the purchase price received by SNB, the Pledgor shall transfer
title to the Pledged Stock (or so much therefor as shall be purchased) to the
Company or in the event the sale is at a Private Sale, SNB shall deliver to the
Company the certificates evidencing the Pledged Stock (or so much thereof as
shall be purchased) together with stock powers executed in blank by the Pledgor.
In either case, SNB shall release its security interest in the Pledged Stock
purchased by the Company upon receipt of the purchase price. The Borrower and
the Company hereby acknowledge that the Pledged Stock is subject to the terms
and provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement which provides an option to
purchase the Pledged Stock in favor of the Company and each of its shareholders
in the event Pledgor desires to transfer, sell or dispose of all or any portion
of the Pledged Stock. Accordingly, and given the difficulty of obtaining a
reasonable price for the Pledged Stock at a public sale or auction and the
difficulty of selling the Pledged Stock at a public sale or auction in
compliance with the Stock Purchase Agreement and applicable federal and state
securities laws the Company, the Pledgor and the Borrower specifically agree
that a Private Sale at which the Company shall purchase any or all of the
Pledged Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall have been conducted
in a commercially reasonable manner, and, to the extent permitted by
2
3
applicable law, the Company, the Pledgor and the Borrower hereby waive any claim
or defense to any such sale arising under Section 9-504(3) of the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect in the applicable jurisdiction.
2. Election by SNB to Cause Company to Purchase the Equipment. Upon a
Default, SNB, by notice to the Company and the Borrower, may give notice to the
Associate and to the Company requiring the Company to purchase (and Associate to
sell) the Equipment in the following manner and upon the following terms. The
notice shall specify whether the purchase is to be made (a) from the Associate
prior to the commencement of proceedings by SNB to exercise its rights and
remedies as a secured party against the Equipment, or (b) at a Private Sale
conducted pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents and applicable law. At the
Closing, the Company shall pay to SNB and not to the Associate or the Borrower,
in United States dollars and in immediately available funds, a purchase price
determined in accordance with the Equipment Repurchase Agreement. In the event
the purchase price of the Equipment is greater than the then outstanding
Indebtedness (including accrued but unpaid interest and all other sums owed to
SNB pursuant to the terms of the Notes and the Loan Documents), then the Company
shall be required to purchase hereunder only so much of the Equipment as is
necessary to pay in full the Indebtedness. In such event an equitable, ratable
portion of the Purchase Price for all Equipment shall be paid for that portion
of the Equipment which is purchased. In consideration of the purchase price
received by SNB, the Borrower shall transfer title to the Equipment (or so much
thereof as shall be purchased) to the Company or in the event the sale is at a
Private Sale, SNB shall cause title to the Equipment purchased by the Company to
be transferred to the Company "as is" and without representation or warranty of
any kind whatsoever. In either case, SNB shall release its security interest in
the Equipment purchased by the Company upon receipt of the purchase price. The
Company and the Borrower each agree that the Equipment is special purpose
Equipment and that a Private Sale at which the Company purchases the Equipment
pursuant to this Agreement shall have been conducted in a commercially
reasonable manner, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company
and the Borrower hereby waive any claim or defense to any such sale arising
under Section 9-504(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the
applicable jurisdiction. The Company and the Borrower acknowledge that the
Equipment is subject to the Equipment Repurchase Agreement which sets forth the
purchase price for the Equipment agreed upon by the Borrower and the Company.
3. Other Purchasers. In the event of a default under any of the Loan
Documents, SNB agrees not to purchase all or any part of the Pledged Stock or
the Equipment or allow any other person (other than the Company) to do so,
without the prior written consent of the Company, unless the Company shall,
within thirty (30) days after SNB's request for performance hereunder, fail,
refuse or be unable to perform its obligations hereunder.
4. The Closing. If purchase of the Pledged Stock and/or the Equipment
is to be made from the Pledgor, the Associate and/or the Borrower, as the case
may be, the Closing shall take place at a time and place selected by SNB within
fifteen (15) days after the date of SNB's notice to the Company and the Borrower
requiring that the Company purchase the Pledged Stock and/or the Equipment. If
purchase of the Pledged Stock and/or the Equipment is to take place pursuant to
a Private Sale, Closing shall take place at a time and in the manner as provided
for by
3
4
applicable law or in the Pledge Agreement and/or the Security Agreement, as the
case may be, or as may be provided for in any notice given by SNB pursuant
thereto for the Private Sale provided, however, that the Closing and delivery
of the Pledged Stock purchased by the Company shall occur at the principal
office of SNB in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, at no expense to SNB and the
Closing and delivery of the Equipment purchased by the Company shall occur at
the premises of the Borrower where the Equipment is located.
5. Surplus. If all proceeds ever received by SNB, either before or
after the Closing, from any sale or other disposition of any collateral, or part
therefor, for the Indebtedness, or the exercise of any other remedy pursuant to
the Notes or any of the Loan Documents, together with the aggregate purchase
price actually received by SNB for the Pledged Stock and the Equipment to be
purchased pursuant to this Agreement, shall exceed the aggregate amount of the
Indebtedness, interest thereon, the costs and expenses incurred or other sums
thereunder owed by the Borrower to SNB pursuant to any of the Notes or the Loan
Documents, and the costs and expenses incurred in the enforcement of the
Borrower's obligations under this Agreement, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, the amount of such excess shall be remitted to or for the account of the
Borrower, subject however, to the rights and claims of others having a prior
interest in or a lien upon any such proceeds.
6. Assignment by Borrower. Borrower hereby assigns all of its right,
title and interest in and to this Agreement to SNB as collateral security for
the Indebtedness and agrees to execute and deliver Uniform Commercial Code
Financing Statements with respect thereto as SNB may request.
7. Continuing Obligations. The obligations of the Company under this
Agreement shall be continuing, and the Company agrees that its obligations
hereunder shall not be modified, diminished, extinguished or released by reason
that the whole or any part of any security or collateral for the Indebtedness
now or hereafter held may be exchanged, compromised, impaired, released, or
surrendered from time to time, that the time or place of payment of any
Indebtedness or of any security therefor may be exchanged or extended, in whole
or in part, to a time certain or otherwise, and may be renewed or accelerated,
in whole or in part, that the Borrower may be granted indulgences generally,
that any of the provisions of any note or other instrument evidencing any debt
of the Borrower or any security therefor, including, without limitation, the
Notes and the Loan Documents, may be modified or waived, or that any party
liable for the payment thereof (including but not limited to any guarantor,
surety or endorser) may be granted indulgences or released, all of which are
hereby expressly consented to by the Company. Neither the death, disability,
bankruptcy, or insolvency of any one or more of the Borrower or any guarantor,
surety or endorser shall affect the continuing obligation of the Company. No
claim need be asserted against the personal representative, guardian, custodian,
trustee, debtor in bankruptcy, or receiver of any deceased, incompetent,
bankrupt or insolvent borrower, guarantor, surety or endorser. Any deposit
balance to the credit of the Borrower or any other party liable for the payment
of the Indebtedness or liable upon any security therefor may be released, in
whole or in part, at, before and/or after the stated, extended or accelerated
maturity of any Indebtedness. All of the foregoing may be done without notice to
or further assent by the Company, which shall remain bound hereon
notwithstanding any such exchange, compromise, surrender, extension,
4
5
renewal, acceleration, modification, indulgence or release. The Company
expressly waives notice of acceptance of this Agreement and of all extensions of
credit to the Borrower, presentment and demand for payment of the Indebtedness,
protest and any notice of dishonor or of default to the Company or to any other
party with respect to any of the Indebtedness or with respect to any security or
collateral therefor and all other notices to which the Company might otherwise
be entitled. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall be direct
and immediate and not conditional or contingent upon either the pursuit of any
remedies against the Borrower or any other person or foreclosure of any security
interest or liens available to SNB, its successors, endorsees or assigns, the
Company hereby waiving any rights to require that any action be brought against
the Borrower or any other person or to require that resort be had to any
security or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of SNB
in favor of the Borrower or any other person, and the Company hereby waiving any
rights of the Company pursuant to North Carolina General Statutes Section 26-7
or any similar or subsequent law. If the Indebtedness is partially paid through
the election of SNB, its successors, endorsees or assigns, to pursue any of the
remedies mentioned herein, in the Notes, or in the Loan Documents or if such
Indebtedness is otherwise partially paid, the Company shall nevertheless remain
fully liable and obligated under and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
The Borrower and SNB agree to provide the Company with copies of all Loan
Documents and modifications thereof.
8. No Credit; Waiver of Defenses. The Company shall not be entitled to
provide for the payment of the purchase price either for the Pledged Stock or
the Equipment (or any part thereof) by the issuance of credit or credits to or
for the account of the Borrower, the Pledgor or either of them. Nor shall any
portion of any purchase price either for the Pledged Stock or the Equipment be
subject to offset, reduction or diminution by reason of any disputed or
undisputed claim, suit or demand which the Company may have against the
Borrower, the Pledgor or either of them, or by reason of any disputed or
undisputed unpaid accounts or liabilities of or amounts otherwise owed by the
Borrower, the Pledgor or either of them to the Company. Nor shall the Company
assert any claims or defenses against payment or be afforded any reduction of
any purchase price for the Equipment by reason of the condition of the Equipment
or by reason of any failure by the Borrower to maintain or repair the Equipment
or by reason of the manner in which the Borrower has utilized or employed the
Equipment in the operation of Borrower's business. Nothing herein shall
prohibit the Company from purchasing the Pledged Stock or Equipment over and
above the amounts necessary to satisfy the Borrower's obligations to SNB and
applying the proceeds thereof to any obligation of the Borrower to the Company.
9. Nothing herein shall prevent or restrict
(a) the Company from exercising any of its rights and privileges,
including, without limitation, the right of termination, under and as set forth
in the Associate's License Agreement or
(b) the Company and the Pledgor and/or the Associate from amending
or terminating the Stock Purchase Agreement or the Associate's License Agreement
provided that, (i) upon the termination of the Associate's License Agreement,
the Company and the Associate shall give written notice of such termination to
SNB and shall comply with the provisions of
5
6
paragraph 2 above as if SNB had given the notice referred to therein unless SNB
notifies the Company and the Borrower to the contrary; (ii) in the event of the
termination or modification of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company and the
Pledgor shall remain obligated to comply with paragraph I above as if the Stock
Purchase Agreement remained in force (unmodified) as it is as of the date
hereof; (iii) in the event of the modification of the Associate's License
Agreement, the Company and the Associate shall remain obligated to comply with
paragraph 2 above as if the Associate's License Agreement remained in force
(unmodified) as it is as of the date hereof; (iv) in no event shall the purchase
price of the Pledged Stock be less than the purchase price for such Pledged
Stock as determined in accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement as it exists
on the date hereof, and (v) in no event shall the purchase price of the
Equipment be less than the purchase price for such Equipment as determined in
accordance with the Equipment Repurchase Agreement as it exists on the date
hereof.
