Upon the terms and conditions set forth in this

being equivalent to $500 for each minibar in the Minibar

|
|
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 the first
calendar month following the Loan
Date:
|
|
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 (“HOMI’s Invoice
to the Hotel”), which the Hotel is obliged to pay to the Affiliate
under the Outsource Agreement for that month (“Net Revenues
from Hotel”), usually by the 10th
of each calendar month.
|
|
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, (iii)
maintenance fees of $0.06 per minibar 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.
|
If Net Revenues from Hotel, as collected by HOMI’s
Affiliate, exceed Operational Payments by at least $3,500 then HOMI will
pay to Lender a sum equal to 60% of all such excess, towards repayment of
the Loan.
|
|
d.
|
If Net Revenues from Hotel, as collected by HOMI’s
Affiliate, exceed Operational Payments by more $2,100 but less than
$3,500, then HOMI will pay to Lender exactly $2,100 towards repayment of
the Loan.
|
|
e.
|
If Net Revenues from Hotel, as collected by HOMI’s
Affiliate, exceed Operational Payments by less than $2,100, then HOMI will
pay to Lender a sum equal to 100% of all such excess, towards repayment of
the Loan.
|
|
f.
|
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.
|
|
g.
|
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 joint account No 351325, at
the Lincoln Branch (No. 772) of Bank HaPoalim (No. 12), IBAN
XX000000000000000000000. All payments made to such account shall be deemed
payments to Lender under this Agreement, and Lender alone shall be
responsible for allocation and distribution of payments amongst
Lender.
|
|

|
|
2.4
|
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’.
|
|
2.5
|
HOMI shall continue to effect
the payments to Lender pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 2.3 above, for as long as
the Operation continues in respect of the Minibar System. 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.
|
|
2.6
|
If the Outsource Agreement is
terminated during the Initial Term 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 6 months of its removal from the Hotel, and the period
between said removal and reinstallation shall not be included in the
Initial Term for the purposes of Section 2.3 above.
|
|
2.7
|
If reinstallation was not
performed within said 6 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 Sections 2.2 and 2.3 above, provided that,
for said 3 months, HOMI shall in any event repay to Lender 50% of the
amount specified in Section 2.2e above.
|
|
2.8
|
If the Outsource Agreement is terminated at the end
of its third year, in the context of a purchase of the Minibar System by
the Hotel, then HOMI will pay to Lender 75% of the payment it receives
from the Hotel in respect of said purchase of the Minibar System, and
this, together with all repayments already made to Lender prior to that
time, will constitute full and final repayment of the Loan and all accrued
Interest.

4.2
|
for the
avoidance of doubt it is hereby stipulated and emphasized that it is the

after its entry, issue or levy, as the case may
be;
|
|
4.7
|
any proceedings seeking to declare HOMI bankrupt, or

Security and
Collateral
|
|
5.1
|
As security and collateral for the full and timely
repayment of the Loan pursuant to this Agreement, HOMI will, promptly upon
receipt of the Loan, cause its Affiliate to 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.
